pirated nioh 3, game looks and runs like dogshit but it's kinda fun. Difficulty is all over the place; some enemies feel scary yet fair and others are just wipe territory over and over but it doesn't help i am total ass at the game.
Also playing some e33, still pretty early in it maybe ~20 hour or so, but I'm not really sure I like the game, sacrilege I know. Just feels kinda weird to play Idk I'll go into it if anyone is curious but I'd rather not poison the well for anyone else who hasn't played it yet. I'll probably end up finishing it.
also reposting from last gaming day thread: beat TLOU2. brilliant game and the graphics and lighting are incredible, but i have a lot of mixed feelings about the overall story and epilogue/ending. not necessarily because they aren't happy or whatever but i just feel kinda hollow afterwards. idk can't wait for them to complete the trilogy in 20 years.
I haven't played but I'm a E33 skeptic. Please elaborate.
omg I've typed this up like 3 times lol i kept deleting it
tl;dr feels like 5 separate games smashed together with a jrpg coat of paint (light spoilers for around 20 hours of e33)
There's no contrast, I can't see shit on the world map or zone maps. There are literal dust motes colored the same as item pickups on the ground, so there's tons of camera spinning wondering if something is anything and it's usually not. I love exploration in games and I honestly just get a bit of a headache cuz nothing pops visually. Movement is clunky as fuck sometimes and I want to have a talk with whoever decided to add jank platforming sections to the game.
The battles are fun, I guess, but I take issue with people calling it turn based JRPG. Yeah it is, but it is way more active; there are parries and dodges and QTE events for every skill (even healing!) I prefer my JRPGs a bit lazy so I can think and take my time and it's not really like that, you're always paying attention in battles, and yeah you can turn the QTE shit off in accessibility options but I'm not admitting defeat like that (cuz it's not like they're hard for me just a bit tedious). Def feel a bit cheated with everyone saying OMG TURN BASED GAME ??? SO GOOD ??? cuz it's uhh not really like that imo.
There are so many fucking pictos (skill augment things) and I get a headache trying to manage it so I turn off my brain and just faceroll the encounters anyway. Seems most of hard enemies are just learning the parry/dodge dance than it is party and skill comp though that does help.
Story is whatever. Might just be me but I don't give a fuck about the characters or their motivations or anything. The only drive I have is seeing where the mystery will go and supposedly there's some twist coming up so we'll see how that hits.
But some of the characters are super fit and attractive and you can put them in bathing suits or other goofy shit. I had Lune in one for a bit but got so distracted by her butt I had to switch to a different costume lmao. Currently Gustave has a mullet and a baguette, kinda roleplaying him as a crust punk in my head. Speaking of characters, I feel zero incentive to level up any of the extra characters you get outside of the first three since you only get 3 party slots. Wish they'd allow you to swap out mid battle a la P5R, or maybe they'll purposefully break up the party in order to diversify party comp a la DQ11, we'll see.
Overall, it's fine, I guess. I might be too critical because of the hype (I got it online and IRL from friends). Pirate it if you're a PC player and make your own conclusions.
o7 thanks for the in depth review!
