There are some sad fucking weirdos out there

Pregnant women just give off beauty and sexual fertility vibes like no other- because… well they are visibly showing they are fertile. Esp as that 6ish month range- as it still is kinda “small” bit long enough along you know the female can bear kids term. It’s a biological thing.

My wife when preggo… hot damn… it triggers your need to breed

Can confirm. We just hit 22 weeks on child 3 and it is like clockwork. Every other pregnant woman I’ve ever seen is gross though.

So word is that PS5 players who already own the game and buy the DLC separately will not receive the outfit code for NIKKE. Only purchasing the Complete edition in full does that. Also the minority of people who got the PS5 upgrade early have confirmed some of the 25 outfits are from vendors while the rest are from the lootable boxes. This requires the boxes to be looted on 3 playthroughs.

Preview of 15/25 new outfits

Yes, so getting all the outfits will be convenient for first time players, while for people on PS5 who got Platinum will need to make another full-ish playthrough. A bit annoying, but the quest for full fashion never stops.

As for the Nikke skin, to me personally, that is a huge nothingburger and people getting butthurt about it are being pissy.

Hm, almost 80k concurrent players on Steam. Didn't think it hit that until maybe this weekend. Glad to see it is doing well.

My 13 year old self would be mind blown by this, my current self....not so much. While I am glad there are still 'oooohhhh boobies' game out there, it wasn't for me.
Plus I really suck at these types of games. I may buy it one day on deep discount or wait long enough that it's free.

The most common misconception about the game, and the one most commonly used to trash it or as a reason not to play it "just a boobie game". lol.

Play the demo.

The greatest irony is that this game actually has respectable parry/counter combat. Also by only presenting an outline of a plot they can actually fill in details and dedicate effort to making the story a selling point for the sequel.

I did play the demo.

You won't be able to get them in the demo (except perhaps one with some grinding), but there are skills that makes it easier to parry, dodge, etc. Once you get those, it becomes a lot easier. The combat is actually quite good. And that is from someone who could never get into Sekiro. I did want to love it, and I know it's a great game, but I could just not get into the constant parry mechanic. This one is much easier, and you also get revive items that pops you right back up with a full health bar again for 1500g.

Anyone been playing this on PC? Wondering how your experience has been so far. For me, the game has been super smooth with fps capped at 120, uncapped it varies between 150-200, so I just kept at 120.

I got to the Great Desert, and for some reason (maybe I forgot that I was testing something previously) the graphic settings had changed to 240 capped with MGF 4x turned on. Game felt like shit though, even with the fps at 160-200 there would be drastic dips to below 100. So I changed it back to capped 120 and buttery smooth again.

Then tonight I reach Eidos 9, and maaaan, it was like the games lighting engine exploded. The environmental lighting was super bright, with reflections of metal materials being almost like white paint. The drones spotlight was like white paint as well. Everything else looked OK, if a bit contrasty... no matter how I adjusted the gamma settings or the Lighting/Shadow settings. Just looked bad.

So for those who happen to own a PS5 Pro, and a PC (but mods don't matter), I'd get it on the PS5 as it seems to be super stable.

This game has quite the reputation. If we remove the fat ass and titties part, how good is this game?

Just wondering if it's souls like at all or more action orientated like DMC?

DMC.

Try the demo, though combat gets better as you get more skills which are not available in the demo.

Probably not for me then but I will try the demo. Didn't realize there was one
Maybe you could say its a fast soulslike, since there is still a sense of "my turn, your turn" in the boss fights. Or maybe a less demanding Sekiro.
