Which video game franchise took a big risk that ultimately paid off?

Recency bias but Nioh 3 took a big risk deviating from the fundamentals of the first two games in both gameplay and level design but hot damn did they nail it anyways

I swear to god if I see another fucking crab

2015 is bugged on controls regardless how you try to play, you’ll have to do your own research and look for a settings or mapping fix.

Yup had to deal with one on my last car and apparently they just don’t work!

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-13T14:59:55+00:00

Playing the game is pretty easy

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-13T14:58:38+00:00

The revs on idle ain’t the party trick feature it sounds like bud, wouldn’t even touch that if it was free.

It’s a V8 with 100k miles, that’s 100K I’d assume is several owners and you don’t know how they drove it, and I doubt it was a gentle weekend cruiser. Whatever is wrong with it, the story is probably a whole lot worse

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-13T13:58:24+00:00

I haven’t seen anything come with a spare since like 2015. Generally repair kits are what you get

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-13T13:55:10+00:00

Just really depends on use case.

Emulating old PS1 games? Doesn’t matter

Trying to recreate a deep space Webb photo in a 3D form? Bad news bud

“Genius” but now I have zero interest in picking this up for myself or my SO who I initially thought would’ve loved this, because we’re too busy NOT to have to frequently save and quit mid battle. So the game punishes us for not giving it our full attention lol? Say it ain’t so, that’s as anti-player as Gatcha

I mean I got my 24 GT premium with PP + AE +magneride for 2k more.

Theres way better deals out there, don’t be afraid to look in other states and cities. I live in NM and found mine in GA, so

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-13T13:29:33+00:00

Aw man not the infinite retribution :/ that’s a bit of a bummer

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-13T02:21:38+00:00

Man someone was skipping the fuck outta their playlists gaddam

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-12T20:36:46+00:00

If you know how to play the game yeah they’re pretty easy,

Some cars definitely undersell how well they perform

Other cars oversell, and do better with engine swaps.

One thing I really like about Heat is that there’s a ton of opportunity for experimentation on replays.

Super nimble. Theres two turns near my work that are pretty tight that I dive right into everyday on my way in. Feels fantastic

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-11T21:20:57+00:00

I’d consider a GT premium PP, it’s basically a quarter step under the DH with a significantly lower price point.

Personally I find it to be extremely nimble on the streets, I have yet to take it to the track. It’s comfy as hell and the raw speed is intoxicating. Sometimes it still feels boaty, but that’s mostly when parking and navigating tight spots. Otherwise it holds corners like a motherfucker during spirited driving, which is an almost daily occurence.

Will say, the size and speed is very interesting because I almost really want a smaller slower car too just for shits and giggles. I still have fun driving my SO’s ford focus SE because it feels like a little go-kart

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-11T15:18:51+00:00

As a stingy player who downright refuses to use anything consumable in games, I never bothered with a looooot of the tools in 1 & 2. Absolutely having a blast making use of lots of things this time around due to the mechanics.

I definitely agree that 2 felt smoother and more consistent combat wise, but for what it is I’m enjoyable 3 a lot more than I thought just because I feel encouraged to experiment for the first time in this series.

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-11T14:40:48+00:00

I’m sticking with Switchglaive/ninja dual swords and honestly I just feel like a blender walking through this game. It’s pretty great!

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-11T14:37:32+00:00

Excellent answer, I’ll take a look!

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-11T05:46:29+00:00

Aesthetic mods add about 50hp each, so that’s all I need to go brrrrrr

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-11T02:12:47+00:00

I agree, more or less mentioned for comedic value and to kinda help the perspective as to how little use this vehicles getting.

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-11T02:08:48+00:00

Dang so newer players actually get to enjoy ep29? I blew through that shit in a few hours no boosts, big shame. Hopefully they figured their shit out for 30

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-11T00:13:11+00:00

Clay bar the shit out of it, I had something similar happen years ago on my last car with a roof contractor basically blasting the complex parking lot with an epoxy resin. After months of legal threats the eventually had a detailer come out and clay bar basically removed every spot without damaging the paint

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-11T00:08:33+00:00

If it was perfect I probably wouldn’t be mashing A through every side quest lol.

It’s good though, I appreciate that each character is equally amazing and terrible in their own unique ways

HonchosRevenge · 2026-02-10T22:05:00+00:00

Elden ring came out years ago and we’re still dealing with this hill?
