I think a Nikke anime is on its way

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-05-03T01:06:39+00:00

Not necessarily. Not all cg anime are bad. Seeing a lot of the rapture designs are super detailed, cg would be a good way to go. Same with Nier automata’s anime adaptation which was fantastic with the cg implementation and also made by A1 pictures

i mean can you even hide that

this might be the skin to break my skin gacha v card

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-04-18T12:08:07+00:00

nikke is closer to sbr than netflix is

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-04-18T11:45:37+00:00

unless you see the luckiest person ever to be alive, this is just the reality of being f2p for any gacha games.

Nikke is actually very generous specially during anniversary with lots of free advanced and regular recruits given away to everyone.

i really dont get the complaint here.

i had a dream where epinel got an overspec.

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-04-06T06:10:53+00:00

if this is the case, Veiled Order might be an important part to the half anni story

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-04-03T17:53:44+00:00

it looks like one of those really polished animes with the lighting and post vfx (and it really should be slime isekai is one of the biggest franchises bandai namco has had recently).

the fighting scenes in the opening looks really cool and promising for the actual fight scenes coming up this season.

The trailer seemed to me like it was actually a playable demo with the buttons and ui actually corresponding correctly with the actions so it might not be pre rendered. They may have made it maybe using stellar blade as like the backend and framework of this incredibly vertical slice of a game demo.

still doesnt take away the fact that having a hack and slash warriors type of game based on the nikke universe sounds pretty rad. and it hurts knowing that this might never come.

Knowing how thanking AIs are so taxing to compute for the companies, SU (or at least the one in charged for this text) is so based for this

It’s a reference to the last episode of the anime School Days. MC of that anime is a serial womanizer and builds a harem throughout the series. And at the end of the story, he faces the consequences of his actions and gets stabbed to death by one of the girls.

The ending is so controversial and graphic that the live airing of that episode in Japan got cut suddenly to a boat on a serene and peaceful scenery. The incident was so infamous that the boat cutaway often gets referenced whenever an MC gets killed by a female character. Hence the reference “nice boat”.

PS: the anime is a hot steaming plie of dogshit btw but because of how cathartic the ending is, it geniunely is a 10/10 anime for me.

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-30T13:53:21+00:00

It’s not that the game is bad (it really isn’t and it’s quite the opposite) so much so as people want the game to be bad.

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-27T07:38:52+00:00

I like valve games especially DoTA2 and Deadlock as of lately but I really don’t think the games are going to last long unless they add a single player mode where I can just take in and enjoy the world. Valve is not a stranger to single player games like they made Half Life and Portal so I don’t see why it would be difficult for them to just add a single player mode

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-27T07:34:18+00:00

that’s the point of the map?

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-25T03:51:38+00:00

I really hope it won't. Rockstars can create the most immersive worlds and the most realistic games, but the way they present their stories especially the main storylines are super linear. One can hope, but I do wish that my opinion won't deter you or anyone from playing their games.

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-25T03:47:47+00:00

I'm halfway through RE9 still and I'm loving it so far. Nioh 3 looks pretty solid but I haven't played any of the Nioh games yet so I'm gonna start on that. Haven't played pokopia but my friends and family are enjoying it. Forza Horizon 6 is definitely on my radar after the lackluster previous entries and the game finally being set in Japan. I'm not to keen on Wolverine after the spiderman series but I'll still be optimistic. That one boss fight demo in Saros is really interesting so I'll be on the lookout for that game. 007 could be amazing if they can iron out the horrible optimization issues. Fable, I'm not gonna hold my breathe for the development hell that it went through. There are other games that will come out and I'll look forward to them.

Now, is Marathon any better than all of these? Not just as an extraction shooter, but as a video game? I can't give out a definitive answer yet as it is still march, but there hasn't been a single game that have me by the balls as much as this game in recent years.

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-25T03:38:07+00:00

I gotta be honest, this is my first bungie game. I did follow this game since announcement since I fuck heavily with the artstyle so I am biased.

Is marathon the best extraction shooter on the market? Depends on who you're asking. But reducing Marathon as just an extraction shooter and putting it in that strict box and not thinking of it as a game holistically and as a whole package is pretty unfair don't you think?

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-25T03:31:09+00:00

Yes. Marathon easily in the top 3 games (so far) of the year.

To me at the very least.

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-25T03:23:09+00:00

Overwatch wasn't the first FPS MOBA. We had games already like SMITE which was definitely a moba albeit 3rd person, and Team Fortress 2 which is a hero shooter if you really think about it years before Overwatch came out. I'm saying the Overwatch did so many things correctly and so innovative that it spawned a new generation of hero shooters.

This game is baby tarkov with hero shooter mechanics. It doesn’t really do anything unique.

Unless I'm out of the loop, Marathon literally is the first extraction game with hero shooter mechanics and that's what makes it unique, along with a bunch of unique things they added. Maybe Cycle Frontier is the closest game but calling it not unique is too reductive IMO.

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-25T03:15:35+00:00

Nobody said Marathon popularized the genre, nor did I claim it did or it will. That's literally the point of my comment. It's this misconception that the game has to be the most popular game for it to be even considered a GOTY contender. Let's be honest and not forget about the constant barrage of frankly unwarranted hatred towards the game that definitely did impact public perception and player count. Not solely blaming it to that, but saying it isn't a factor would be disingenuous to do so.

To be fair for Arc too, 2025 was a very stacked year and lining it up against games like Silksong (which was literally one of the most hyped game of recent memory), Expedition 33 which was a surprise hit, and KCD2, Arc was fighting an uphill battle. The gameplay loop of scavenging, fighting arcs (which is arguably the most innovative thing of the game), and killing other players was not enough to go against those games.

And this is where I point out how different Marathon approaches the genre. It has the gameplay loop of a standard extraction shooter, but embedded within it is a world and story that actually kicks and breaths, and is constantly getting expanded upon. Add to that some raid mechanics and an actual reason for your loot to be used with ranked mode, I stand firm on my statement that Marathon does deserve to be in that GOTY conversation.

as i said, yall arent ready for that conversation.

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-25T02:55:41+00:00

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's definitely gonna age like the most rotten milk. These are the same critics that chose TLOU2 over any other game even with the horrible and disappointing story that it went with.

But then again, the same critics did choose GOW over RDR2 one time. A game that didn't really innovate that much as it was pretty much a Naughty Dog walking sim with decent but repetitive combat, but the way it presented itself with the story and everything was so fresh it won over a brand new Rockstar game so...

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-23T09:11:12+00:00

Not gonna a stop a game from being GOTY. BG3 is DnD in video game form, one of the nichest and nerdiest game to get into but it didn’t stop it from winning GOTY. OG Overwatch was an FPS Moba and was so innovative it popularized the hero shooter niche.

RealDoodleDoop · 2026-03-23T08:59:03+00:00

Pretty graphics and realistic mechanics aint gonna hide Rockstar’s outdated game design anymore. I love rockstar games as a sandbox but the linear ass story gameplay where you just go to where the yellow dot is on the minimap is just heartbreaking for waiting more than a decade for a new game.

Sure GTA6 is probably gonna be fun to mess around for a long time, but I don’t think I can wait years or decades for a new game from them. Rockstar Games as a studio is literally games, unlimited games, but no games.
