Mineโ€™s probably been in a Phoenix storage unit for 4 years and has completely melted.

Iโ€™ll be quite bummed but Iโ€™m still going to buy it just because I have no idea where my PS3 is.

Dead god please let Guns of the Patriots be 60 fps.

And he has so many ki problems ๐Ÿ˜‚

Love this game though.

Good! Done.

It feels like you get less encumbrance mitigation in 3. I cannot get my samurai to be better than slow as fuck without completely ripping apart his defense. Maybe by the end that will change though.

At some point Iโ€™m going to find out this isnโ€™t viable and Iโ€™ll actually have to play on Nioh 2 difficulty by pulling out my Spear and scale mail and beginning the stance dance.

12.02.2026 02:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 4    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Iโ€™m just gonna be a Ninja for 95% of Nioh 3 so I donโ€™t have to worry about stance switching and parrying. So far itโ€™s working beautifully.

I love so much video game music these days that I just canโ€™t do that anymore

11.02.2026 21:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Also, I have a lot of new music to listen to and itโ€™s perfect for a game like this (where music is one of its very few weaknesses).

Iโ€™m right there with you.

Iโ€™m not bad at them. And I love open world checklist games (if theyโ€™re not absurdly checklisty) where I can grind/farm, so Ronin was an easy thing to get into and finish. Nioh 3 will be even easier because Iโ€™m going to play the shit out of it.

11.02.2026 20:51 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Iโ€™m sorry. Their games usually go on sale fairly quickly, at least. Is GameFly a possibility where you are?

11.02.2026 20:48 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

If you donโ€™t have Nioh 3 Iโ€™d definitely recommend trying it out again

11.02.2026 20:36 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Agreed on both parts, and I donโ€™t remember very well, but the difficulty settings might be why I finished it when a lot of people were saying it was too hard.

Itโ€™s definitely not as good as the Nioh games but at the time it was a fine replacement

11.02.2026 20:30 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I donโ€™t know why but I didnโ€™t have much trouble with it, and thatโ€™s coming from someone who has not yet finished Sekiro and might never.

I think the NPCs were a lot more helpful in that game than Nioh too, but I could be misremembering. Somehow I finished it lol

11.02.2026 20:20 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

It is. Itโ€™s not quite as polished though.

11.02.2026 20:05 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I am very glad Nioh 3 went the way it did with the open world despite the fact that nobody liked Rise of the Ronin except me.

๐Ÿ˜„ yeah. Iโ€™m shocked initially and then after reflecting Iโ€™ll think, hmm that was kind of cool actually. So clearly my morality is ephemeral and fleeting.

11.02.2026 15:31 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Get on it!

Itโ€™s pretty King-coded that way. His books have children being brutally murdered left and right. But I get it. I was shocked too and always will be when I see that kind of thing.

11.02.2026 15:17 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Lol. But everything else is perfect and I donโ€™t want to switch back and forth! Maybe when S3 starts I will do all.

Welcome to Derry being described as interesting is probably as accurate as you can get. The show is total hit or miss every scene, but the lore it provides is a little fascinating.

Night Country was interesting too. And Jodie killed it.

Whatcha been watching?

11.02.2026 14:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

House of the Dragon is so visually dark that itโ€™s hard for me to watch sometimes, so Iโ€™ve only seen the first season. I guess itโ€™s ending soon-ish so Iโ€™ll binge it eventually. There was some interesting stuff in there.

11.02.2026 14:57 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Agreed

Are you waiting for a full release or have you seen some of it?

11.02.2026 14:52 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I know a lot of people still avoid GoT, but I wanted to add my voice to the resounding cacophony: Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is as good as peak GoT. Arguably better.

Still some work to do but itโ€™s pretty exciting to think about not losing over 100 games.
