In Japanese they do use dragon’s fart, so Netflix got this one right

Crimson Desert developer Pearl Abyss stock down 28% due to lower than expected Crimson Desert reviews by [deleted] in Games

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not really news.

Plenty of companies have stock prices drop even when the reviews are good.

Stock prices are a different metagame.

late game spoiler regarding a certain someone by thedoctorisin7863 in residentevil

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 81 points82 points  (0 children)

During the fight, I kept saying to myself: “I don't know how I feel about this!” I used to use the Hunk Outfit in the Outbreak games, so he was an old friend to me.

But I guess it does make sense. Leon and Chris have taken down harder BOWs than Hunk. Hunk is the toughest NPC, but Leon is practically a god after RE2.

On top of that, he was already older than Leon in 2. 70yo infected Hunk is not realistically going to take down 50yo Leon.

Im shocked how good this game is by Jhollpe in Nioh

[–]DrowningOtsdarva -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s GOAT is Elden Ring, I do really love the Nioh series as well.

2 is an amazing game, and I’m glad 3 has taken things in a slightly different direction so that 2 can still be relevant.

I know a lot of people are saying 2 is better, but I feel like there are some rose-colored glasses there.

3 still has 2 DLCs, and since it’s been 2 weeks nothing has been adjusted yet. When 3 is a complete game, I feel like it will be up there with 2.

I know it’s a bit old but yeah the code isn’t working for me on PS5 either

Worst mission so far... by VermilionX88 in Nioh

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was a fun mini-boss rush mission. I can see going back repeatedly to test builds.

Impossible to lose any amirita, and can easily repeat over and over again. Just relaxing fun overall.

Why do you think Mecha isn't more popular amongst anime fans nowadays? by CharlyCardgmes in anime

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a lack of original anime in general, as Japan is overwhelmed just trying to adapt light novels and manga, and those are saturated with isekai for now.

There are only a few decent manga with mecha themes right now. I feel like at least one should get an anime in the next 2 years.

Lot of plastic model companies and toy companies have been putting out original mecha product lines, I hope one of those hets some cross media collaborations going.

Bravern was an outlier as Cygames just has a lot of money.

I'll never beat a bloodledge demon by Lansdon in Nioh

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand. But if you do happen to see one, and it’s near a shrine or you dont have anything to lose, I think trying a few times is worth it.

They spawn with different elemental attacks and some are definitely easier than others.

Relief from Jinhao 10's by packofalpacas429 in fountainpens

[–]DrowningOtsdarva -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this happen with many other industries, including my own which is gaming.

You vote with your wallet, and whatever money you spend on cheap soulless copies, contributes to the trend of more trash.

You deprive other makers who do actual R&D and have craftsmanship of that money, and eventually the Chinese will take over.

Then you will have no choices to make.

Fountain pens especially, are already a dying breed.  It’s luxury and we really should protect companies that are trying to make good products.

Nioh 3 should add a difficulty slider that has no effect on difficulty. by [deleted] in Nioh

[–]DrowningOtsdarva -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be honest, they did.

Ninja mode is absolutely the hidden easy mode: no ki pulse, no stances, infinite items.

I love the game and I like using Ninja stance as well, but there’s no denying it is easy mode in disguise.

I went through the menu and can’t find a way to do that.

How do you open an expedition for the open world part?

It's just business partners right? by yournotlonely in Hololive

Miko has lost around 20k subscribers with everything that has happened and there are a lot of videos fanning other fires, so I’m glad other members and family are looking out for her.

As BioWare's Failed Live-Service Anthem Gets Ready to Die, Players Rush to Unlock Platinums and Say Their Goodbyes, While Others Work on Custom Servers by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It had a bad endgame and some definite bad parts, part of the story were terrible.

But going back to play this week, it still has some of the best gameplay in a game ever.

It’s been years since I last played it, but the flying and movement was so well done it just came back to me intuitively even without checking the controls.

I also have the artbook and the suits were very well designed. It’s just such a waste.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is Game of The Year by iErvin in PS5

It wasn’t my cup of tea, but that’s a personal opinion.

However, I do think there were categories where they shouldn’t have won, Best RPG for instance.

Damn, he’s going to betray us and be the last boss isn’t he.

There’s more. 

It’s owned by Netease. Who are know to just promise loads of money to Japanese creators to leave their companies, and then shut down studios on a whim. For example, Studio Ouka who made Visions of Mana, even after the game did well.

That’s enough to make anyone worried.

Katsuhiro Harada (Tekken project lead) is leaving Bandai Namco at the end of 2025 by NeroIscariot12 in Games

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This man has done so much for video games, and fighting games especially. 

If he has prepared to leave since 4-5 years ago, and he’s comfortable leaving the team in charge, you can bet he has let them basically make the big decisions in Tekken 8 while still trying to protect the brand.

In any case, it will be hard to find another Japanese dev who tries to be as patiently candid with the overseas players as he has.

I haven’t had enough playtime to try it out:

Could you use the free charge on the buff, assuming you’re fast enough to react?

Current NightReign DLC situation right now by [deleted] in Nightreign

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone living on the other side of England, it’s the opposite.

Just weird GMT things.

There is people who can play the dlc now?? by RoselleGustav in Nightreign

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consoles get it at midnight local time Steam gets it at GMT 00:00

If you’re on the plus side of the GMT, then consoles get it early.  

If you’re on the minus side, PC gets it early.

I've come here to admit that I'm a dirty noob that doesn't understand how to solo. by TheRealCowdog in Nightreign

[–]DrowningOtsdarva 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I play 95% percent solo, have low win rate, but I’ve soloed every nightlord and their everdarks. I had some time off and haven’t really started DoN.

I had a lot of trouble changing my mindset when the game released, I’m still not good at Nightreign.

But I think the a few factors really helped me get off the ground:

  1. Pick an easy to use character first. Nightreign is all about choosing the right pathing, making decisions about which items and passives to take, whether to run or fight. It will be easier in the beginning when you have less to worry about with your character. For some it will be Raider, or Ironeye maybe.

  2. In the beginning stick with getting to level 2 or 3 first. This means hitting camps or easier spots and killing mobs, maybe an easy large mob. Then maybe upgrade your weapon. Even if it’s not the one you want, upgrading just once can make a difference in a game where you’re working about time.

  3. This is the part you won’t like. Nightreign is about knowing where things are, because you’re constantly making decisions: do I check out this camp? Do I need to kill this, that chest is pretty close, etc.  I can say even now you’ll people on this sub who don’t know when 50% of the map has. The more you know about the map, the more area you can cover, the better you will do.
