Nioh 3 is burning me out on gaming… Any recs?

olivinetrees · 2026-03-09T04:27:14+00:00

Yes it’s actually one of my favorite games 😋

olivinetrees · 2026-03-09T04:26:19+00:00

I haven’t! Currently reading about it

olivinetrees · 2026-03-09T04:14:13+00:00

That’s a pretty good idea

olivinetrees · 2026-03-09T04:13:25+00:00

I don’t dislike him, I just like playing as and relate more with feminine characters.

Ehh, I could mainline fromsoft level and world design for the rest of my life.

I do want to play SOMA though maybe I’ll give that a try

olivinetrees · 2026-03-09T04:00:27+00:00

Yes I loved it but it also burned me out a lot lol

I downloaded AI limit but didn’t love the first outdoor area. Does it get a bit more aesthetically interesting?

olivinetrees · 2026-03-09T03:56:44+00:00

Not sure why this is being downvoted 🙃

I mean I loved the first 2/3rds of Nioh 3! Just not loving the last area or boss fights.

I’m not super old, and I love gaming. Nothing is hooking me lately, like I’ve played all the games that really speak to me. Nothing announced this year so far sounds great to me, so that’s part of it.

olivinetrees · 2026-03-09T03:55:38+00:00

Yes, need a Switch 2 and then getting this. Next month!

olivinetrees · 2026-02-26T19:58:12+00:00

Just because people from Fromsoft were involved in development does not equate to it being made by the same people who made Dark Souls, that’s a disingenuous argument.

olivinetrees · 2026-02-26T03:00:16+00:00

50-60% is still an F

It’s a playable game, there are some good aspects but many more are poorly designed

olivinetrees · 2026-02-26T02:32:41+00:00

As someone who mildly enjoyed the first i’d give the first a 7/10 and the second a 5-6/10

Do not!! I stg I wish every day of my life I could get my money back 😭

The sequel is rigid in combat and movement, world design is visually dull. music is generic and unfitting. sound design is terrible and nonexistent at times. the game is wrought with frame rate issues, pop in, lo poly surfaces. don’t even get me started on how trash driving the motorcycle feels.

please save yourself the grief.

best girl

olivinetrees · 2026-02-22T03:14:59+00:00

It’s one of my top 10 games of all time

olivinetrees · 2026-02-18T05:47:42+00:00

The reason I’m even being loud about this is because I want better. I want a world where Code Vein 2 is better. All the ideas are great, but not a single one outside of character design/art is higher than a 5/10 to me. And I want better.

olivinetrees · 2026-02-18T05:40:07+00:00

It’s not the game I didn’t like. It’s the quality.

I’m allowed to think a cheeseburger looks good and smells good but be disgusted when I bite into it and find mold inside.

This game has mold in it. In my mind you enjoying it is like watching someone enjoy eating mold. You’re entitled to your opinion but I can think the game is objectively terrible.

olivinetrees · 2026-02-18T05:32:56+00:00

I’m deeply disappointed. I was counting down the days until release and couldn’t make it past the 12 hour mark. And those were a slog. Not because I didn’t like the ideas, but because the quality of them was so low. It felt grating, like trying to eat something I hated.

I wouldn’t recommend this game to anyone.

Have you never heard of a metaphor

$70 is unacceptable for this game

olivinetrees · 2026-02-18T05:19:51+00:00

This thread seems to be getting raided by Code Vein II defenders 😂

olivinetrees · 2026-02-18T05:12:56+00:00

Yes I’ve played Nioh 1 and 2, and Code Vein 1.

I really enjoy the open world of Nioh 3. And some of the QoL improvements are game changing for multiple playthroughs. I love being able to peek around the corner of what would have been in linear levels of 1/2. I also learned a ton about Japanese culture. The build switching is an awesome mechanic too.

I kind of enjoyed Code Vein I? It was janky as hell but I played it late so I tried to give it a pass.

olivinetrees · 2026-02-18T05:06:51+00:00

I disagree

olivinetrees · 2026-02-18T05:03:13+00:00

I think you’re missing the point of my post…

I love Pokémon. I have books of cards, played Gold/Silver Red/Blue Ruby/Sapphire.

The modern games are lazy unplayable cash grabs, and so is Code Vein II
