Like don't get me wrong right, I don't wanna be sounding like a ungreatful mf.

#

But them long stretches between got a mf hurting.

copper hawk
#

erm

#

ungrateful*

#

sterile stone
#

And it's tragic too cause there's so much to pull fromt.

gray ice
#

Cica is correct use English cretin

copper hawk
gray ice
#

The stretches have been getting shorter tho

sterile stone
#

I ain't taking nada you gremlins say

#

So step cretin

north sedge
#

copper hawk
#

yeah

north sedge
#

That's why

copper hawk
#

gray ice
#

Besides they just dropped a whole mode and another rework

copper hawk
gray ice
#

Don't worry there's gonna be some cookin goin on

sterile stone
gray ice
#

That's where we started brother

sterile stone
#

When do I get healing nades outside mortis

#

Nah

#

I want all the fun stuff outside the simulations

gray ice
#

Talk to sefoni bruv

north sedge
# copper hawk wdym

They've been messing with matchmaking for higher ping players and if you're past a certain threshold you get the high ping lobby which can be not full and such

gray ice
#

Get the strong witch on your side to start bending reality to your will

copper hawk
#

i have low ping though

#

like 43 ping

#

it says im us east

sterile stone
#

We ain't on the same wave length

#

@gray ice But aye tho I've been getting reccomended Apex ranked

north sedge
#

Did you have someone that wasn't though

sterile stone
#

Shit looks mad fun to spectate

#

But hell to actually play

fringe bay
#

Just like dead by daylight

sterile stone
#

DbD is dog shit

hard nexus
#

methinks chaff and bruisers knocked over should be able to be walked through but only ogryn gets the stagger on dodge

sterile stone
#

First match

hard nexus
#

but idk !

copper hawk
sterile stone
#

Face camped by bubba

copper hawk
#

by myself matching in

fringe bay
#

DBD is fun to watch though

tight fog
#

space microwave laser is Volkite

#

verty much so

fringe bay
#

I like backseat gaming my friends

copper hawk
#

so ur sayin im matched into a high ping lobby despite not having high ping, or my teammates are paired with me and then they haul me to high ping

#

the latter makes sense

#

GRAAAAH

#

IT'S A FUCKING GHOST TOWN !!!

north sedge
#

Someone on your team not being low enough ping will put you there

sterile stone
fringe bay
north sedge
#

It's not a population problem it's the ping stuff

sterile stone
#

I really do

fringe bay
#

I’m going to

sterile stone
#

But I've got like 10 battle passes I need to finish

fringe bay
#

The changes are nice

sterile stone
#

And no motivation to do any of them

fringe bay
sterile stone
#

I was gonna get into the finals

fringe bay
#

But it’s only 38 tiers for hunt and I have disposable income if i need it

sterile stone
#

The cosmetics looked immaculate during the japan season they had

fringe bay
#

Yeah season 3 was fun

gray ice
#

Stick to spectating

#

And immediately remove the friends telling you to play it

fringe bay
#

I finished the whole of season 3, but I was pretty burnt out, coming back for this season

sterile stone
#

That's my issue with alot of games I get into

#

I'll grind out the game for like a month straight

#

Then just crash and burn

gray ice
#

Needa give yourself some variety playa

sterile stone
#

There ain't much out there that catches the eye.

gray ice
#

Outchea dumping 500 hours into once human in the first 2 months KEKW

sterile stone
#

Aye now

#

Once Human was fire....

gray ice
#

There's plenty of good stuff out now

gray ice
sterile stone
#

I'm waiting for the long dark 2

#

Or any adjacent game.

#

I just found out about red incursion

fringe bay
#

I have a lot of variety fortunately

#

I’ve been practicing guilty gear in my spare time

sterile stone
#

And Exoborne looks dead in the water after playtesting was at it's mid point

fringe bay
#

My friends love my Ky KEKW_ogryn

acoustic dune
#

question
out of subject

fringe bay
#

Ye

acoustic dune
#

as someone seen the new discord ui?

fringe bay
#

Nope

gray ice
#

I think about playing apex sometimes but I just can't bring myself to do it anymore

sterile stone
#

I've got the new UI on my desktop

fringe bay
#

Mine updated but I didn’t notice any changes other than overlay

sterile stone
#

My laptop has the old UI

acoustic dune
sterile stone
#

The new one feels weird

fringe bay
#

I guess pleasant colors aren’t allowed anymore

acoustic dune
#

shits wack bruv

sterile stone
#

So now you got all types of people in pred lobbies

acoustic dune
#

cause i am a gremlin

fringe bay
#

Oh

acoustic dune
sterile stone
#

Ranked apex is dead ass kinda

#

Mirror v mirror

#

Everyone picks the same 2 robot characters

#

And their 3rd is whatever

acoustic dune
#

people still play apex?

#

next youll say people still play pubg

sterile stone
#

Brother....

fringe bay
#

Surprisingly yeah people still play pubg

sterile stone
#

Apex still eating good

sterile stone
fringe bay
#

Which is hilarious considering how dogshit it is

frosty herald
#

Mostly indian and chinese people play pubg

acoustic dune
gray ice
#

I did pred grind once, I don't really wanna do it again

acoustic dune
#

ITS SO FOCKING SMOL

#

dude they minisize it

sterile stone
#

I tried apex eons ago

#

Like during launch

#

I tried controller ina mouse and keyboard lobby

#

Got folded like a calzone

opaque island
#

apex was fun when everyone kinda sucked at it

#

or at least werent gods at it

sterile stone
#

I've heard the same for fortnite

fringe bay
#

Yeah I just don’t play battle royales

misty ravine
#

Literally every pvp game

opaque island
#

true

fringe bay
#

Only PvP games I play are fighting games, the finals, and Hunt: Showdown

grizzled aspen
sterile stone
#

Fighting games gotta be the worst way to relax

grizzled aspen
#

Like, lots.

fringe bay
grizzled aspen
#

At least 60% of pubg's playerbase, I'd wager, are recurring cheaters.

sterile stone

#

I like the funny forward kick aerial mist finer opener

sterile stone
#

Question

#

Y'all try killer instinct?

fringe bay
#

Nope

opaque island
#

nah

sterile stone
#

Word

opaque island
#

GG XRD REV vwas mine

sterile stone
#

So that game really didn't take off like that then.

fringe bay
#

I like strive and skullgirls, those are my two best

sterile stone
#

Skullgirls is a og

opaque island
#

skullgirls i tired the multiplayer once, got infinited and never played multiplayer again

sterile stone
#

Most because of that big band clip

fringe bay
#

Yeah don’t play either online honestly

#

Online skullgirls is cancer

#

I love losing 3 fourths of my health off a single grab from beo

sterile stone
fringe bay
#

Grappler meta is scawy

sterile stone
#

Reminded me of this

opaque island
gray ice
fringe bay
#

All about that standing light kick opener

#

I love free combos

sterile stone
gray ice
#

that poor valk thought they were getting away

opaque island
sterile stone
# gray ice

How the fuck did you even know that's a person

#

I dead ass woulda thought that was just map ambience

opaque island
# gray ice

i dont know any of the new characters, can they not like zig and zag

tranquil owl
#

He's got enough playtime under his belt he knows what to look for probably

gray ice
opaque island
#

but also good aim on your part

gray ice
#

i mean if you see him he was building momentum to turn

#

I got him before he could full turn

gray ice
#

sorry for delay was rollin

opaque island
#

did you drop your rift on them to force them through it into your team in that 3rd clipi?

gray ice
#

yes I did indeed perform a kidnapping on that man with wraith portal

#

he never saw it coming

opaque island
#

im glazeing you up dawg, that shuriken throw (forget the proper name) in that last clip was amazing too

gray ice
#

thanks mane

#

all these are gettin pretty old now im fairly washed KEKW

sterile stone
#

Yous a free man today?

gray ice
#

for now

#

skipped work to go to welding lab early

#

finals week so gotta make sure I'm good for the weld test

sterile stone
#

Mans wasting opportunity

#

Coulda been a CS pro

gray ice
#

yea if i wanted an ego check the size of mercury

opaque island
#

there's always a bigger fish

gray ice
#

I'm good enough to be above the general populace, dudes like imperialhal and Dizzy would still make me look like a child

opaque island
#

i may be a mid-high tier casual, but the second i set foot in any ranked or competitive mode, i get stomped

gray ice
#

The bell curve for skill is exponentially harder as you get to the higher end of it

carmine falcon
#

CS pros are literally superhuman juiced up freaks

#

bros have like 10k hours before they hit their teens

sterile stone
#

I feel like the skill ceiling regardless of game heavily leans more on communication and map knowledge than anything else.

opaque island
sterile stone
#

I'm sure a semi competent player could dome the shit out of a pro atleast 4/10 times if they out position them.

carmine falcon
#

nope

opaque island
carmine falcon
#

a good player wouldnt be caught like that in cs unless they're trolling

sterile stone
#

Yeah but things like over analyzing happens aswell.

gray ice
sterile stone
#

Not saying it's a constant.

gray ice
#

in apex for example, raw aim can get you pretty far

sterile stone
#

But it does happen.

gray ice
#

but siege for example a dude playing it like cod with good aim can get absolutely dogged by someone with better map knowledge

opaque island
#

the amount of times ive died to a noob in mordhau for example is higher than you'd think cause they will do things you just dont expect as an experienced player

gray ice
#

can't predict stooopid

opaque island
#

Siege is another one of those that were fun until everyone became really good

#

oh and the toxicity

#

always the toxicity

gray ice
#

siege was fps league for console players

#

as someone there from the launch I will stand by this statement

tranquil owl
#

Was?

gray ice
#

it just got a soft relaunch or sumn to Siege X iunno wtf is goin on widdit anymore

tranquil owl
#

Yeah, soft relaunch

sterile stone
tranquil owl
#

They made it f2p

carmine falcon
#

console gamers when they dont have to aim or track or be precise joedevious

tranquil owl
#

But ranked will cost a 1 time purchase, unless you already owned the game

#

Probably like 10 bucks

clever swan
#

controller gamers getting autoaim in a shooter makes me hate that shooter. fortnite is so tragic for this reason

sterile stone
#

I'm dog water on mouse and keyboard pvp cause I spent 90% of my life plaing controller

#

But for some reason

#

No one ever checks flanks

carmine falcon
tranquil owl
#

Fps games in general tend to be ass

gray ice
#

im def better on controller than mnk but i can do both

opaque island
sterile stone
#

I'm ehhh

tranquil owl
#

We get some fun ones now and then

#

And then a bunch of competitive focused titles that last for a year and fall off

wary latch
#

gotta say im not sure if im sold on a wooden flamer

image.png
opaque island
#

the older i get the harder it has been for me to do well in fps with mnk

clever swan
sterile stone
#

I'm pretty sure after 3 years of no controller I'm rusty as hell at it

gray ice
#

i was immediately sold on wood flamer

carmine falcon
spare talon
opaque island
tranquil owl
#

Siege has done a fairly good job at least staying alive instead of becoming cod and releasing the same game every year

opaque island
#

yes i know

carmine falcon
#

a wooden flamer is exactly the type of goofy shit i like

sterile stone
opaque island
#

this is making me want to try siege again, against my better judgement

misty ravine
sterile stone
spare talon
#

It's wooden accents on the outside frame of the flamer

tranquil owl
gray ice
#

I mean I knew they had stuff in the works for siege because they didn't wanna do siege 2 but wanted to update it still

clever swan
#

the 2b skin for siege is unforgivable

sterile stone
#

for honor exists despite ubisoft wanting that game to die so badly

opaque island
tranquil owl
#

Its more like the dev team themselves want the game to die

clever swan
#

shoulda put the 2b skin on dokkaebi or something

gray ice
#

i did mentally start checking out when the goofy skins rolled in on siege ngl

#

every game doesn't need goofy ass crossovers, why is master chief in my lobby dawg

opaque island
#

so i wont hate

clever swan
#

yeah but maybe a better character

#

for 2b

gray ice
#

or maybe not at all

tranquil owl
#

Ubi ceo doesn't give a shit about anything other than his paycheck, as has been made clear with him trying to get out of ubisoft after the shadows release

undone pewter
#

Vostroyan weapons are mastercrafts

clever swan
#

well siege is already a bit of a mockery of what rainbow six was

undone pewter
#

So wood will be fine

sterile stone
clever swan
#

so maybe crossovers arent so different

opaque island
#

im ngl, shadows does look like something i want to get (when it goes on sale in 2 months)

gray ice
clever swan
#

if anyone bought it for that purpose then they were disappointed

grizzled aspen
spare talon
grizzled aspen
#

I would know, I am one.

opaque island
#

I love for honor, but i hate for honor yknow?

tranquil owl
sterile stone
opaque island
#

like thats the kind of game i love

#

but fuck do i suck at it

gray ice
sterile stone
grizzled aspen
#

For honor is a super fun game until someone decides to be a meta crutching fucking turdlord that doesn't know what the sun looks like.

opaque island
sterile stone
#

Didn't you miss when Shugoki could insta kill you

#

When he was at low health

opaque island
#

or shaman biting your face off

tranquil owl
grizzled aspen
#

Oh and yeah shugo instakill was hilarious.

sterile stone
grizzled aspen
#

I hated his passive hyperarmor though.

sterile stone
#

I like how for the longest time Ubisoft just ignored hitokiri being the most absolute annoying character in game

tranquil owl
#

There's not much tech in fh at all at high level, its just a lot of knowledge with ridiculously high reaction times and good reads

sterile stone
#

Chargable heavies with armor

#

That's balanced

#

Right

#

🙂

opaque island
#

I was an orochi main, until centurion came out, and then i stopped playing not long after that

sterile stone
#

Same with shinobi

spare talon
#

I love for honor cuz I never have to play it and never will, thank you for honor for making this possible

opaque island
#

warmonger was the last character to release before I quit i think

tranquil owl
carmine falcon
#

for honor looks as scary to get into as every single medieval something melee game

tranquil owl
#

They introduced the ccu, make a shit load of changes

sterile stone
carmine falcon
#

oh i meant pvp

sterile stone
#

I heard that's a fun game

carmine falcon
#

mordhau for honor ect

clever swan
#

maybe pvp games are just cursed as a concept

tranquil owl
#

Technically game is a better spot than its been in a hot while, but its not fun for me anymore after 9 years

opaque island
sterile stone
#

Chiv 2 I've heard is fun

carmine falcon
opaque island
#

if you just go in and fight random people yea your gonna get stomped

carmine falcon
#

unless you're willing to put in the time you'll just get filtered

opaque island
#

you gotta pick your ifghts when you're learning

nimble fiber
opaque island
#

if i fought me when i first started mordhau with what i know now, i would clown on myself

#

no question

#

chivalry 2 is definitely easier to pick up and learn than mordhau for new players

#

I dont blame people for falling off when you die so much while your learning, but once it clicks its SO good

tranquil owl
frozen trench
#

oi

tranquil owl
#

But its all okay cause the user chose to do so themselves without any influence

frozen trench
#

has precognition always been 5 seconds?

#

i thought it was 2 second buff

opaque island
#

like its a legit problme

tranquil owl
#

Otherwise id be contradicting my previous statment

#

Fomo is 9/10ths of why sales are so good on games like ow for skins and packs in other games, etc

#

Mobile games just make it painfully obvious

opaque island
#

I consider myself blessed that my brain is not wired that way and i can just say meh, i dont care

tranquil owl
#

Me with basically every f2p pvp title

copper hawk
#

Not hard either

#

Easy to get into

#

With a highish skill ceiling that rewards you for knowing the game and playing well

opaque island
#

best advice for games like mordhau and chiv2 if you're learning is to either find someone in a duel server to teach you, or play the group gamemodes

copper hawk
#

I played w unepic cole after not playing for months and was in the top 3 despite late joining

tranquil owl
#

As a warning

copper hawk
#

It's rlly fun

opaque island
#

do not enter duel servers and just fight randoms or you will have a bad time

tranquil owl
#

Chiv 2 is addicting

copper hawk
#

Duel servers r the best place 2 learn yah

#

But when u learn the fundamentals just play the normal mode

#

64 lobby

tranquil owl
#

Never once worried about if i was the best player or near the best in the lobby

copper hawk
#

I play the middle knight class and just scrounge up weapons to either throw or use

#

I find a maul, sledge, or a dane axe and it's killin time

tranquil owl
#

Some archers are nutty with their dagger

copper hawk
tranquil owl
#

To the point they'll solo 2 mfs at the same time

opaque island
#

mordhau maul > than chiv 2 maul, cause it cronches

#

ifykyk

copper hawk
#

Hate mordhau

#

Hate the maul

#

Grr

opaque island
#

mordhau has better customisation and voicelines/emotes for sure

#

but playing chiv 2 feels more fun

frozen crystal
#

Chiv 2 was a blast when I played it. You really feel like you are in a battlefield

#

I was also a dirty spear user

obtuse garnet

#

No Man's Sky introducing palaeontology, with stuff like a personal museum, and also enemies to be unearthed

#

I Just made the mistake of updating discord, why cant they just leave the U.I be

#

why do they have to keep making "improvements"

jolly hound
tranquil owl
#

Discord ui changes are a like a plague

#

Slowly they'll turn you to papa nurgle

opaque island
#

okay i shrunk the left side and it looks better

tranquil owl
#

A soft light in the darkness

opaque island
#

apparently i dont know my lefts from my rights

tranquil owl
#

Can't decide between Stranger of Paradise or getting back into Nioh 2

#

The itch for tn gameplay has finally returned

opaque island
#

Nioh 2! use the fist weapons

spare talon
tranquil owl
#

Stranger of Paradise story was a lot better than I'd thought it would be too

#

Not great

#

But the lore is what sells it

tranquil owl
opaque island
#

cant be worse than FFXIII

#

that shit is convoluted, and im saying it as a fan of 13

tranquil owl
#

Its basically a prequel to ff1

#

Sets the stage for everything that happens in ff1, with a completely new perspective

opaque island
#

the gameplay of 16 looks really good too, i love my action combat

#

dont mind turn based

tranquil owl
#

16 was amazing

opaque island
#

but im action brained

tranquil owl
#

And it broke my heart

nimble fiber
#

hi action brained

tranquil owl
#

Didn't even do all the shit to get the legendary weapon, just beat tf out of the final boss casuse combat is so fluid you dont even care if your dmg isn't as good as it could be

#

The ifrit fights tho, they're too good

#

The game is a cinematic masterpiece a lot of the time, especially the combat scenes

Forward bash the kyo and do your followup light on the raider.

i get skill issued everytime i try playing it

grizzled aspen
#

Bash from neutral sucks.

#

It's super annoying to play against.

i just miss the days of playing gladiator and getting deflect impales

sterile stone
#

So you have another black prior situation then...

frozen trench
#

but my boomer ass washed up

sterile stone
#

I dash forward

#

Is it a bash

opaque island
#

I know im not helping, but....

sterile stone
#

Is it a guard break

#

Who knows

opaque island
#

zealot chat talk about darktide challenge

#

(impossible)

frozen trench
#

true

sterile stone
#

Rockstar gutting 90% of Bully's fighting mechanics

opaque island
#

which frozen pizza brand is the best?

#

oh

sterile stone
opaque island
sterile stone
#

Yeah

#

A dev had a tech build for it that never got implemented because it was too complicated at the time

#

Like if you go into the game's code

#

There's remnants of this

grizzled aspen
#

It's a read.

sterile stone
#

Like the greasers having a evade stat

grizzled aspen
#

You can't read moves from neutral.

sterile stone
#

But never having evade animations

#

The only faction in bully that has actual evade animations were the preps

grizzled aspen
#

So tiandi now either does forward bash or forward empty dodge and you read accordingly.

#

It's how every forward bash in the game works.

opaque island
sterile stone
grizzled aspen
#

Not hers!

#

Apparently outlanders get special treatment.

opaque island
#

are outlanders the newest faction?

grizzled aspen
#

Yeah.

opaque island
#

then thats why

grizzled aspen
#

And they're all REALLY annoying.

opaque island
#

they're the favorite rn

sterile stone
#

Pirate was a whole ass issue for what?

#

A year

#

two?

tranquil owl
#

Yeah they ruined bully

#

As good as it was back then, i couldn't bring myself to play it in modern day

sterile stone
#

It pisses me off knowing Jimmy had counter attacks for swings

tranquil owl
#

Just knowing what i know now

#

Jimmy was supposed to be mf Neo essentially

sterile stone
#

One neat little fact tho

#

Alot of Jimmy's moves that never got added to the game

#

Got shipped to Sleeping Dogs

tranquil owl
#

But ever since i played Nioh 1 i knew I'd found my niche

#

Team Ninja just brings peak combat

#

Rise of the Ronin combat is even inspired by an older title

frosty herald
#

team ninja makes peak

#

cant wait for nioh 3

tranquil owl
#

Nioh 2 took the formula and perfected it for them

magic basin
#

does anybody know how does the "event" portrait looks like? idk if its worth grinding for, mortis trials boring ngl

frosty herald
#

its an insignia

#

and it looks nice

perfectly ass combat heyooooooo

grizzled aspen

Still is.

#

Oh my God I hate discord.

grizzled aspen
sterile stone
grizzled aspen
#

Infinite forward feintable unblockable that you can't roll away from and it has instant hyperarmor.

magic basin
grizzled aspen
#

And she can do this until she runs out of stamina.

frosty herald
#

not at the moment

grizzled aspen
#

Infinitely.

sterile stone
#

Oh that's fun

tranquil owl
#

Which most chars have a roll catch, because they wanted to eliminate rolling away as a meta option, and encourage making reads

#

A foundation of the games combat

#

Goki used to be completely trivialized by people simply rolling away from anything they wanted to

#

Pirate became an issue because she could consistently recovery cancel with her side dodge attacks, she was stupid hard to get damage on if the player was half competent

#

So they removed the recovery cancel

#

Thankfully

untold junco
#

Nioh 1-2 were great, but ruined themselves with shitty Diablo-esque equipment trashfest

tranquil owl
#

Eh

#

Just simply an aspect that isn't for everyone

untold junco
#

it was alright, until i got to omegaendgame

#

which in Nioh 1 was required for achievments

tranquil owl
#

The best part of the games?

opaque island
#

that is my one complaint about nioh is the equipment system

tranquil owl
#

Nioh 1 abyss was ass

#

They removed the need for a shitty lw build in 2, introduced the idea that anything is viable if the player is good enough

untold junco
#

in Nioh 1 at some point you stopped doing damage if you didnt grind 2000h to get god rolls on your 1% drop chance Divine Quality Gear

#

so i didnt do 40 lvl abyss in Nioh 1 because it was so ass

tranquil owl
#

You didn't need that at all, you literally just needed a shitty easy to make lw build and you'd destroy everything

untold junco
#

im this one achievment away from Plat on Nioh 1 and it hurts

tranquil owl
#

Low health boost damage go brr

grizzled aspen
untold junco
tranquil owl
grizzled aspen
#

It's a feintable

roll catch
unblockable
hyperarmor
And it forces you into another instant unblockable 50/50 that you can't hit them out of.

tranquil owl
#

Comp community of fh makes up like 1% of the players but claim game should balanced around their level of play, which doesn't make sense

#

Cause the rest of the community suffers in turn

untold junco
tranquil owl
#

Yeah, i still have the problem of talking like a comp player when I talk about fh, which is an issue of itself

untold junco
#

I was never really good at this game, and when there were more and more classes that can just abuse one broken combo to instawin I just decided its not worth my time

tranquil owl
#

I was too invested, finally woke up and smelled the roses

#

Fh community makes lol players look like saints

grizzled aspen
#

Of those modifiers on that attack, ONE thing should go.

tranquil owl
#

Just check out the main fh discord for a day and you'll see

grizzled aspen
#

I personally think it shouldn't be unblockable.

untold junco
tranquil owl
#

Devs haven't touched that discord since like y3

tranquil owl
untold junco
#

generally speaking PVP games always have the worst community

untold junco
#

Their discord is such a shitfest

#

Worst community I've seen, ever

#

The fact that devs basically approve toxic gameplay doesnt help at all

grizzled aspen
#

Worst community I've ever seen was slanderous discord for fh.

#

Slanderous is like for honors tanner.

Oh yeh, Spin, look up Pooferllama on yt for Nioh 2, he's the one that showed me just how good the game is and why, with very good explanations, even does a whole playthrough trying to speak with the mind of a new player to explain both in words and visually what one can do, should do in certain situations, etc

#

He will change how you play Nioh 2

#

And constantly plays it using very low dmg builds just so he can combo on enemies longer

untold junco
#

Community, and devs are really bad at their job. Lot of bugs, terrible balance that changes every week without actually changing anything, the strongest class in the game is the one their CEO and main (and only) programist currently plays, they basically forcefuly (as in, banning people for doing that) removed every way to play the game without PVPing everyone everywhere

#

DaD is one of the worst game downfalls I've witnessed

#

and combat... jesus, its so bad

tranquil owl
#

Itemization is goofy sometimes, but once his words click and you start being able to put his advice into practice, you feel like a god

#

And the game openes up in a way it didnt before

#

For instance, there's a decent bit of anim canceling in nioh 2

#

Using your yokai skills

untold junco
#

Like, your hitbox is tied to your camera movement, because camera moves your top half of the body, so the "skillful" combat is basically swinging your camera around to not get hit, because there is no dodge mechanic

untold junco

#

So having a slot dedicated to a short skill that lasts for maybe a second or 2, becomes super beneficial

#

Oooh the endgame after the dlcs?

Nioh 1 is where I felt like i wanna fkin die when playing endgame so that's the game I dropped at like, abyss 30

What build did you end up running towards the end?

Muramasa from Ninja Gaiden is also the guy who sells your equipment in both Nioh games

That's so weird to me

#

Cause wasn't the first nioh a guy from England

Yes, but Muramasa is just a merchant

Nioh 2 stops being a soulsgame the moment you start fighting

Instinctively

untold junco

Because all other npcs use the same animation set, every where

#

but William gets his own because yes

tranquil owl
#

Cause team ninja showed me what I want from games

#

William is also in rise of the ronin as a secret boss fight

#

And you can use the basic sword stances

The point I'm making is that for delivering it on a film it has to be both believable and look good.
