Nioh 3 has summons? Like Elden Ring ashes? Is that a thing in Nioh 2 as well, because Nioh 1 sure didn't, har. When playing Nioh 3's demo I used the blue phantoms a couple times for tough spots, that was a welcome assist and kinda like a summon. Nioh 3 is getting SUPER good reviews. People...

Gunther is getting the push I was hoping would go to Rex Steiner (who inexplicably got renamed Bron Breakker). In Highlander terms, he basically got the Quickenings of Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles. Outside of retiring Austin/Rock/Roman/Brock I don't know that there's any bigger set of...

Yeah, people getting factual shit wrong is an epidemic. The LED lights and crowd-dimming made it look empty. It was full. Crowd-dimming is my least-favorite trope to come out of the NJPW/AEW generation. Triple H likes it to "put focus on the performers" so it isn't going anywhere. AEW...

The whole thing with Moxley being a murderous bastard was that he would stop at nothing to be champion again, even killing off his closest ally. Suffocating a guy with a plastic bag isn't very "wrestling" but it was something that hadn't been done before that actually felt brutal and...

In Nioh 1 I went with Type E controls just to have the attacks on R1 and R2. What drives me fucking nuts is that there's no way to have Guard on L1 and attack on R1. Each type has one but not the other. So there's actually no way to play with the normal Souls controls that people spent years...

I'm building Str right now for that Bandit Axe (and whatever else I find), but I can respec later when I have that weapon mod. Managed to pool High Stance bonuses onto the axe so it's got like an extra +20% damage on it with everything already. I already respeced enough times that the respec...

Got a Bandit's Axe from the store, fused it with the best hammer I had to bump up the attack 10% or so, re-specced and moved points from Heart to HP and Str. Got over 2000 HP now and working on Str next (it's 13 which is a meh downgrade but I figured HP was more important). Learned the High...

As Tuco said, boxing is the way to go if you want to have a decent time going through the expansions. Unless you're dead set on being a Bard, I'd main an SK and have the Bard be backup. Add a Shaman and you can pretty much do anything ,(3x rogue mercs would shred). However SK + Bard would be...

Yeah, that was my thought here. It seems like Nioh adds more and more as it goes on. PS5 remaster version. Looks really freaking good. I can't tell the FPS difference between 4K Mode and 120 FPS Mode, so I wonder if those are holdovers from the PS4 version and they're all 120 now, or my brain...

This Kebab guy is so out of his depth here. Most folks on here "support" Trump insofar as they hope he does a good job / the country does well. Which is a real fingers crossed sort of thing. That's about it. It isn't a fan club, but we also don't look for stupid shit to get upset about.

Agreed. This and maybe LOTRO for a huge Lord of the Rings fan (and even then, just one character to run through the content once, like a regular game). I can't imagine dedicating time to any other MMO as an adult, besides EQ. WoW was fun for a while but it's so easy and cartoonish that after...

Nice, I'll give all that a try. Is Nioh 2 easier to get into, in terms of giving tutorials and whatnot? Was considering giving that a go and if I figured out what I'm doing there, I could swing back to Nioh 1. Probably not a good idea. My main problem with Nioh is definitely the button...

John Carpenter? That old fuck needs to not be doing whatever this is and get The Thing 2 done.

The main problem is I'm not sure what gitting gud actually entails with Nioh. What does the game expect from me? Sekiro I had to git gud at deflecting and breaking posture, Wo Long I had to git gud at parries at precise times, Bloodborne I had to git gud at rolling through attacks. What the...

Yeah the Switch 2's flatness doesn't feel good in the hands, feels like something that'll result in carpal tunnel before too long. When it comes to gripping, we men like things that are bigger and rounder, not flat. PS5 DualSense controller is probably the most comfortable controller of all...

Final Fantasy: Stranger of Paradise had a similar thing where you could farm a high-level Marlboro or something and get super-strong equipment drops, breaking the game before too long. Didn't the same people make that game as this game? The Samurai/Ninja switching in Nioh 3 is literally the...

Anyone getting Yakuza Kiwami 3? Seems like it's getting a lot of negative press out in the mainstream for being low-effort compared to the first two Kiwamis. Also not sure why a Kiwami 3 was even necessary. The first two Kiwamis were resurrecting games that were, at the time, over a decade old...

I ended up in the central crucible area and couldn't get out of there, some sort of ruined city. It's where the Hamamatsu Incident directed me to go. Looked into it and the demo is about 6 hours long, the reward for beating it is this helmet: Ehhh. I dunno. Unless it has some huge stats, not...

The Girl on the Third Floor - CM Punk's horror movie. It's a decent suspense movie, if a little slow. Kinda hard to see Punk as anybody except himself. His co-star (the girl in question) is super hot. It's a haunted house movie (which becomes clear very early) and one of the creepier ones I've...

Anyone know what the reward is for beating the demo by Feb 15th? And what constitutes beating the demo? I beat the first boss and got out into the open world, then took out a few crucibles and wandered around fighting things for a while before I turned the game off. The PS5 dashboard says 17%...

How much more powerful is a Steam Deck compared to Switch 2? Can it be docked on a TV or is it a portable-only deal? Guessing it can play PC games and anything you can get on Steam. Maybe that'll be the next thing I go for if we don't get a PS6 announcement in the next year or two. I could use a...

Oh yeah, I member Bellow. I played a Bard alt in like the 75-95 range and used it to PL my main back in the day, soloing like 40 mobs at a time in places like Foundation and Erillion: City of Bronze (the best place for it, but higher level mobs). It was some of the most fun gameplay I ever had...

Oh, I've been using the Samurai single sword, just got Ninja and the single sword for that. Should I have picked a different weapon for the Samurai? Cause the straight sword is pretty boring over there. The Ninja sword is much more fun, think I'll just stay in Ninja form. Edit: NM, you pick a...

I can't see Crusher going for that. Deanna Troi maybe. She always struck me as one to try anything, considering she, you know... BANGED WORF. Which isn't that strange, I guess. Worf is cool.

I'm not really a fan of the pressing RB to recover stamina after attacks. It's really distracting when I'm trying to strike and dodge. Now I remember what it was that put me off from Nioh 1 (or maybe it was Nioh 2 when I tried that) and kept me from sticking with the series. It was that damn RB...

Yeah, I'm not down with the heroic character thing. It doesn't take long at all to get to 100, and along the way you learn the class. Especially something like bard, which has numerous complexities that, say, zerker doesn't. An SK is the best thing you can put with a bard and shaman if you're...

Is there another option besides the ass covering? I took off the armor to see what she was rocking, and that's what was there. Surprised that the single sword is regarded as OP. It feels so...ordinary.

This game has really nice visuals. Single ninja sword is the way, I hear?

75,000...to be average? Jesus. When I left (around Rain of Fear / level 100) I think characters maxed out at like 12,000 AA points. That was tip-top, maxed-out. Or somewhere in that range. I remember reaching 10,000 and being like "yeah, that'll do, that's enough" because I had all the...

I played on...Karana/Terris-Thule/Prexus/Rathe (same server, merged over and over) IIRC. Was in Clan Ta'Veren (originally Dark Bretheren) for a lot of the 2000's, when I played. Top guild on the server most of the time, sometimes other guilds like Valon or Awaken would pull ahead for a while...

Didn't know Horizons ever even came out. That game looked like "the next big thing" for a while, to people that knew about it. The next evolution of EQ / the genre in general. Then it just sort of disappeared off my radar and I assumed it fizzled out or cancelled once WoW took the torch first...

Yeah I guess DS9 does have a lot of The Message with the Bajoran/Cardassian stuff. It's harder to notice these things when I'm watching an episode every two weeks over ten years. I never felt particularly preached at by it, in any case. Only thing I'm not crazy about is Kira's general rage...

As I recall, there's only one documented instance of an immortal killing another one on holy ground: Pompeii, right before the volcano blew up.

This looks way more like he's playing Duncan than Connor. So they're just NOW starting to film this? Da fuq were they doing for the past ten years? Yeah, the energy just goes nowhere, in theory, if no one is close enough to get the quickening. Trying to remember what happened with Mikey, the...

I know you enough on here that I can safely say you're not a liar. It's more a question of memory / getting things wrong given that it's been 22 years (Jesus). I myself soloed Fungi King pretty extensively as an SK, but I can't remember the server, or even the level, and that was within the...

That would be completely fucking nuts, if it was a real show/movie. Damn. Bob DeNiro as Thanos is an interesting choice, and given Cape Fear I think a similar character to Max Cady would work. Prime-era DeNiro would have been a better Negan on Walking Dead, too, if anyone's familiar with the...

Good idea. I'll replay it up until I'm familiar enough to jump back to the original save.

Been hoping for Dirge to get a modern remake that fixes its problems. It's got a great atmosphere and could be a good game with some tweaks. Really "feels" like FF7 in a way none of the other FF7 spinoffs have. I'm guessing it won't get the Crisis Core treatment though, even if it would make...

Where the fook are demos kept on the Playstation Store? I dicked around looking for the demo section for a few minutes this morning, and then I had to go. Wanted to get the download going. I haven't gotten a demo in a while but I remember there being a very obvious tab for them back in the day...

I'd agree at this point. Nioh deserves more cred. To me Nioh is more like the Soulsborne genre made sweet love to the Ninja Gaiden series and then Nioh was born.
