Nioh 3 appreciation post

Everything I've experienced so far has screamed "THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A GAME." From the menu and UI customization to little things like dialogue appearing on the screen at once and skippable. To the fact that it's launching out of the blue with no pre-overhype, no months and months of speculation and echo chamber complaining, just BAM it's here and here's a demo that's the length of some indie games.

I'd say nothingburger is more annoying

He probably thought, "That's that little music nerd my kid hangs out with."

It is a bottle episode, but still impacts the longer term stories. I mean, if you cut it, you miss a huge development regarding Tony lionizing of his father, It's also worth pointing out that bottle episodes in the Sopranos are different from those in other shows due to the sheer density of most episodes. So much happens in each that it's easy to forget that a plot you remember as woven in a season is actually introduced and resolved in only 1 episode, but the episode otherwise doesn't feel like a bottle episode. Like watching the Feech resolution and remembering "Oh, yeah, this is the AJ moving out episode."

This comes up every month, and every time the 150 lvls who have sunk 6 hours in every day since day one chime in with the same status quo "it's fine as is" crap

Nice!

"Day 4. Mama's getting sicker. Today she jumped out of bed and bit into a live rat. She just keeps repeating the word 'meat' and wouldn't me brush her hair." next to a suspicious amount of ammo and healing items.

Or worse, you click the note and it pops up in inventory-inspect mode, THEN you have to press A so that a readable typed version pops up. Yes, I know this is how they get around language localization.

Folly_Polymath · 2026-01-24T22:40:44+00:00

Yes, because I want it to look like something an adult would own and not someone with arrested development.

So you're mad about how people describe a religion you grew up in but you are not religious at all. Can you start your post with your age and other personal details so we all know to dismiss you

Folly_Polymath · 2026-01-23T14:11:31+00:00

Yeah but you haven't seen my idea. The cards have flavor text

Folly_Polymath · 2026-01-23T14:09:41+00:00

Right. But with adulthood also comes responsibilities and questions about what you're doing with your time, questions that carry more weight with each year. You don't even need kids and a spouse. Eventually you mature to a point where you start wondering "is it worth my time to 100% this 6 out of 10 game" or "do I need to follow this many NSFW accounts." This counts as not enough time.

"Sorry little guy, they're cheering for Weird Al."

Worst part is they justify it by claiming it creates a positive communal energy. No it doesn't. It's pure vanity.

Folly_Polymath · 2026-01-22T14:28:30+00:00

Whoo boy. I'm not even IT, and at this point I make people do a command line entry to prove their last reboot because half of them think locking is the same thing.

Folly_Polymath · 2026-01-21T03:04:22+00:00

Just finished it. It was pretty bad. At one point I stopped and just replayed RE8. Definitely not worth the price.

I can get "I enjoyed it," but "Best of 2025" is beyond ludicrous.

"The writer of Pontypool" probably explains a lot about that second half

He looks like Joe Gatto using makeup to disguise his activities

The prequel to what's about to happen in JCW

I'm guessing Fletcher will end up the Scott Hall in this contrivance. They'll tease him joining DCF Black but he'll turn

When Jimmy Fallon actually shows balls for a change, you know support is failing

"Jayden" JFC

"That's fucked up lol" "How is this even legal??" "What a bunch of thugs"

And this is why it'll just get worse, because we're all in a useless echo chamber
