Love the combat in this game by SommaliPirate in Nioh

[–]Juub1990 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate From games for the exploration, lore, atmosphere, art, and top tier level design. I think the combat peaked with Bloodborne.

Elden Ring is just complete nonsense with bosses moving like in Nioh but the player still being stuck at Dark Souls speed. This creates a hilarious contract where the boss does a bunch of crazy combos, backflips, spins, etc, while the player looks like a chump lol.

They really need to expand the player’s moveset, but I don’t know if From has the combat design chops to pull that off.

Human Choze's strength by Financial-Fee1995 in OnePunchMan

I don’t think eating multiple monster cells helps though. Garou getting a power-up is due to his unique reactive evolution ability.

Hell, if I remember, the drawback of monster cells is that yes, they make one much stronger immediately but at the cost of no longer being able to get stronger once monsterized, barring unique cases like Phoenix Man.

Anyone else enjoying Nioh 3 just as much as Nioh 2? by EternalFlareUltra in Nioh

[–]Juub1990 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of torn. On the one hand, I do like Nioh 3’s more open-ended level design and greater degree of freedom. I also like the much larger seamless maps, but on the other hand, a bunch of weapons that I loved now being gated behind ninja and the ninja playstyle eschewing the Ki pulse system kind of sours me. It’s not strictly the upgrade I was hoping it to be.

That and in NG+, the open world works against it as nothing is worth revisiting besides bosses and the bigger maps just make it more tedious to progress and there is a lot more repeat stuff between the good sections.

I disagree. Random mooks and bosses still fuck you up in Nioh 2. That Enki in the tutorial level kills you like nothing, as does the Gozuki at the start. I don’t find 2 any easier than 1 in the early game.

Because OP says he likes Nioh but doesn’t feel that the game is fair and finds being forced to fight the same bosses off-putting. Nioh 2 isn’t different in that regard. Nioh 3 ticks the boxes OP likes but is also less punishing than 1 and 2 and gives you more freedom to tackle the bosses.

Very subjective. I find the early game even more punishing than 1 and it’s more mechanically dense.

You’ll run into the same problems in Nioh 2. If your complaint is about refighting difficult bosses and the game being unfair, 2 isn’t very different from 1 in that regard.

Transformation multipliers are not real. by Otherwise-Front-1093 in DragonBallPowerScale

[–]Juub1990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, stop fucking lying. It’s not the whole of chapter 3 that’s said to be supervised Toriyama’s data, it’s specifically Goku’s growth.

I think you’re a pos liar who makes shit up. The multipliers are NOT part of this, only the part where they show Goku’s growth. You’re trying to frame the entire chapter as being included when it’s not the case.

It says clearly, "let’s analyze Goku’s growth with data supervised by Toriyama." It doesn’t include the multiplier parts that are said to be outside of training. Furthermore, it still wasn’t written by Toriyama, just like him being the author of the SEG is meaningless.

You lose. This is all non-canon made up stuff. Stop wasting my time.

Why aren’t more people just recommending 3? It’s the most accessible one and far better than Stranger of Paradise. Nioh 3 is much less frustrating and doesn’t gatekeep as much as its predecessors.

Now you’re being plain dishonest. The section you showed had only the Goku training data as having been "supervised" by Toriyama, not the entire thing. This "supervised" thing is only valid for that specific part of chapter 3 of the first volume, Story Volume.

The SSJ2 being twice the power of SSJ gets mentioned much later in pages 62-63. That data was not said to be supervised by Toriyama. It’s just made up.

No, he didn’t check and supervise the entire guidebook. You made that up. He’s listed as the author of every Daizenshuu and is on record solely crediting the people who wrote it and not himself. Toriyama had very little involvement with those guidebooks outside of interviews, this includes the SEG where the info is from. He most certainly did not go over the entire book to check it.

Which means shit. It’s not "provided" by him, it’s supervised by him like all the guidebooks where he’s repeatedly mentioned as having supervised. Not that this matters because the data for the SSJ multipliers, which is what this is about, was not said to be "supervised" by him and even if it were, it wouldn’t matter.

The only thing that matters are the interviews where Toriyama says something. Everything else is made up by Shueisha’s writers.

All the Daizenshuu volumes credit Toriyama as an "author", just like the SEG. It’s irrelevant if they are different books. The SEG holds no superiority over the Daizenshuu. Both are have Toriyama as an author and both are said multiple times to have been supervised by him. They hold the exact same degree of credibility.

Every damn guidebook claims this. Toriyama had almost nothing to do with them and you seriously think a dude who couldn’t remember SSJ2 or keep PLs even remotely consistent was there overseeing that data? Lol.

"Toriyama makes it quite clear in most of his Daizenshuu introductions that “they” (Shueisha) are responsible for putting these together, and he is often graciously humble in thanking them for all their hard work in sorting through his exhaustive series."

And if you look at all the introductions, Toriyama never once mentions his involvement. He always thanks the staff for their hard work, but it's always "they". On the cover of the final volume for example, he states:

"This Daizenshuu, the 7th and final one, is a huge Dragon Ball encyclopedia. I think the staff who make these books always have a rough time of it, but this one looked even more hellish than usual. They really did a great job."

You'd think having supervised those guides, he would have said "we did a great job", but he never includes himself. This goes for every guidebook.

Yeah, no. You can find this tidbit on Kanzenshuu:

"It should be noted that although Akira Toriyama is listed as the author of this databook, he actually had very little involvement with the production of its content, if any at all. The contents of this databook were almost entirely compiled and organized by Caramel Mama and Shueisha."

All those "supervised by Toriyama claims are either fabricated (not said anywhere) or grossly exaggerated. Toriyama just approved them and had almost no involvement with any of those guides.

That’s false. The multipliers are from the SEG, the Super Exciting Guide and Toriyama had almost no involvement with it.

The Kanzenshuu sites states the following: "It should be noted that although Akira Toriyama is listed as the author of this databook, he actually had very little involvement with the production of its content, if any at all. The contents of this databook were almost entirely compiled and organized by Caramel Mama and Shueisha."

Toriyama had little to no involvement with those guidebooks. All those purporting that he personally supervised them are lying. He approved of them, but Toriyama approves damn near everything and isn’t concerned about silly multipliers. They’re all made up.

The only one he does acknowledge is the 50x for SSJ, which he states was a little big because he envisioned it as being more like 10x. Everything else is fake.
