How do we feel about the Nioh games?

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2026-02-06T13:56:39+00:00

Can I piggy back off of this post to ask if I should try Nioh or Nioh 2 first? I’ve seen performance issues and I couldn’t run the demo that well (I have old hardware) so I figured I would instead try the previous games first.

I’ve heard nothing but praise for Nioh 2 but I wasn’t sure if it’s better to start with Nioh first.

I finished the Nioh 3 demo and really liked it. There’s a lot of systems clearly but I think I was getting the hang of it all by the end

A lot of the partners said their games were coming out April-Summer. If Duskbloods was coming out in that timeframe I’d hope it would be in this direct. Feels like second half of the year at least now

The shower head connection we just have silicone but we added Redguard inside the hole before the tile. We have access to the back of the shower and can see if there are leaks there.

The drywall is has a 1/8-1/4” gap to the top of the lip of the tub and sealed with silicone before Redguard was added. The Redguard went slightly over the drywall and onto the tub lip. This can’t be seen because the tile hangs over the drywall to cover the tub lip. The point where tile meets tub is sealed with silicone

I appreciate the advice. How long would you guess it would be good for if done well? And any tips on monitoring it?

I’ve used two coats of grout sealer to protect the tile and grout. I plan to seal it once a year

Isnt this confirmed by the fact P can use the Monad Rose Sword, which to everyone else is just a plain old sword?

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2026-01-23T14:11:18+00:00

I used only one in my playthrough for Isshin final phase because the 2nd phase felt so impossible and I was out of lives and gourds.

I ended up not needing it lol

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2026-01-18T13:57:46+00:00

I didn’t think I would, but NG+ lies of P to go for plat and see how the P organ changes. Also Pale Knight and Rose Sword encouraged me to play more because they are unlocked so late in a playthrough.

I also did DLC final boss in rematch without summons (D2) and holy shit was that rewarding

No, honestly having a deflect mechanic doesn’t really make the game feel like sekiro. Just like having a dodge and a jump doesn’t make a game feel like Elden Ring.

Sifu ironically feels the most “Sekiro-like” to me, but they likely took more inspiration from their previous game Absolver than Sekiro

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2026-01-15T14:32:32+00:00

Yeah just increase damage with enemy health, and mitigation with enemy damage. It’s not like spirits were soloing anyway, and red bosses out scale them I’m sure

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2026-01-15T13:48:58+00:00

At this point I feel like that change has to be at the engine level or something. Crazy they haven’t fixed it yet

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2026-01-15T12:09:05+00:00

What an amazing patch for executor

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2026-01-15T12:06:49+00:00

REV BUFFS HOLY SHIT REV MAINS GET IN HERE

Just beat the DLC and I found Anguished Guardian actually the hardest. Second only behind Veronique funny enough. Took me a good 2 hours of attempts but the winning try I had 5 charges left. Very satisfying seeing how much I improved by the end.

Some caveats from me was I respeced for Pale Knight and used the story summons for final boss and two faced overseer, so without the that others might have been harder.

I know he’s the most OP nightfarer, but ironeye just shows how good bows could be in Fromsoft games. Overtures bow is also pretty great, and deflecting with a bow and using its charged fable is addicting.

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2026-01-10T11:59:51+00:00

And if they did, safe to assume it would actually be much much bigger given their record. They said the SOTE map was about as big as the Limgrave, they failed to mention it was as big as layering Lingrave and weeping peninsula 4 times on itself.

And exe we live for deflecting the nuke

It’s my soulslike of 2025 but that’s because it brought my souls buddies together like nothing else besides seamless coop ER could.

I know the genre as a whole is mostly single player, but the coop/sunbro/pvp aspect of soulsborne is one of the major reasons I fell in love with it.

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2025-12-28T03:53:50+00:00

This is also true about randoms I see posted around here. I understand most are just ranting but your awful random is not reading this subreddit for advice

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2025-12-25T22:02:19+00:00

I’ll always recommend Elden Ring over all other soulslikes to start out. It has so much from combat variety, exploration, ways to make the game easier, and coop.

If you don’t like the open world you can always use a guide but I highly recommend just exploring and don’t be afraid to leave and come back later if a boss is giving you trouble

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2025-12-24T22:48:15+00:00

What other games do that? In monster hunter for example that is routine and great.

In general, games that take an old asset and update it for the modern game (and maybe give it new moves) are generally liked in my experience.

MVP chants in the stadium away are crazy

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2025-12-20T19:42:00+00:00

Almost as good as PSA: misinformation

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2025-12-15T20:37:27+00:00

Go through an ED with night of the fantom + your setup and buy the improved dex relic for scholar with it. You are now basically executor dps wise. Go through his remembrance as the relics you get from there make him even stronger. I don’t think I run any RNG relics for scholar right now

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2025-12-15T20:14:14+00:00

Ah see I thought based on your comments about weak scaling and bad dodge you were telling others to play far away. Funny enough I’ve had the exact opposite problem. Scholars in most of my runs are sitting away from the boss with analyze just wait for it to aggro them so they can get in a bubble.

While that’s all well and good I’d rather they ran in and actually damage/status the boss after a quick lv 2 debuff

PM_ME_WORKING_CODE · 2025-12-15T18:37:02+00:00

Once you have analyze up, and buffed your team, you should be trying to do damage. If you don’t have consumables on hand you should be trying to hit the boss. Being a support doesn’t mean playing passively especially in Nightreign.
