Have a copy on steam. Waiting for preload.

Capcom has been on a mostly positive run since RE7 and I am expecting another good entry.
At this point, I am just enjoying the slow implosion.

They literally ruin everything they touch.

The only thing they’ve put out that generated hype and created positive media buzz was hi fi rush and they immediately shitcanned that studio.

360 capitalized on Sony’s ps3 pricing blunder.

Time has shown that was a one off stroke of luck that will not be repeated.

Sony owns the segment of console gaming that Xbox tried to compete in. We have had 10+ years of people building digital libraries. Nobody is switching back over to the Xbox ecosystem after jumping ship during the Xbox one era.
Figured we would have at least gotten a bloodborne remake out of them, but oh well.
I look forward to the movements coming out of schwarma booty
been playing around with some randos and leveling a warlock.

I've noticed that the fire mages are far and away the highest damage dealers. at least initially.

I had started off as a summoner/eldrich build. After being dead weight for about 25 levels or so, I used a respec to copy the fire mage builds I was noticing. I quickly surged to mid 40's. I've recently added some summon skills and I have started binding high level unique enemies. the bound summons seem much more helpful (offensively and defensively) than the initial options that you can generate at will.

Overall, after some tweaks, I'm enjoying the new class.
Yeah, I am close to wrapping up now.

It was decent but nothing really tops first area, imo.
Just got through the third area.

Once I locked in, it hasn’t been too bad difficulty curve wise.

Hope the fourth area is longer than the third.

Took this guy out last night. Just spamming all kinds of horseshite out of his magic box. What an a-hole. :lol:
Konami has been making some interesting moves/collaborations with their IP recently. Not everything is a winner but I’m glad to see them becoming somewhat active again. They sit on some cool franchises and something is better than nothing.

Seems like the castlevania dlc tie in to Dead Cells was an audition and that the developers passed the test.
I had some inkling that Team Ninja was using actual historical figures and historical events to craft the narrative of these games.

Seems like it's a similar case with Wo Long/China and Rise of the Ronin/19th century Japan.

I don't know enough about Asian history, so it's mostly lost on me but the parallel with American figures makes it pretty funny to consider.
Progressed into second map/zone. Made some good progress. Went back to 1st map with some new guardian traversal skills and hit a few spots I couldn't hit previously.

Y'all come across the Demon of Pride yet? So much fun. :lol:
Pretty cool. I had already saw leaks about the warlock being added to Diablo 4 but I never would have guessed that they were adding him to Diablo 2 as well.

Being able to control or consume enemy mobs for abilities/buffs sounds like a cool mechanic if it’s executed well.
Spent some time last night running around collecting random bits and bobs that I missed while doing standard progression on the first map. Got stuck on one of the later bosses to the north.

While running around aimlessly, I started equipping Crucible weapons to unlock crucible skills (they can be used for any other weapon of that type once you max familiarity on a crucible weapon).

After doing that for a while, I went back and beat the brakes off the yokai general a-hole and now I'm progressing into another crucible.

Think my nioh rust has finally shaken off. Feels good, man.
I’ve noticed that the enemy designs and some boss designs are reused quite a bit even with my limited experience of the second title.

So long as I’m having fun with the combat, I don’t care so much.

I played the original Nioh forever ago.

I have owned Nioh 2 for quite some time but slept on it. Tried to speed run it to bridge the gap but decided to just jump straight into 3. Plot doesn’t seem to matter too much (at least not to me anyway).

I’ve mainly been trying to chain combos with samurai and turtling up for aggro. Ki management is getting easier. It’s a mixed bag whenever I try to do a red move counter. So satisfying when it works but sadly it’s anything but a sure thing,

I am largely doing glorified button mashing but I might try to be more strategic with stance changes and my movesets for weapons as the difficulty curve continues to climb.

Got this horsebound general yokai boss giving me fits currently.
still getting used to the combat loop in this game. I am enjoying myself overall, but I really need to learn the appropriate rhythm in boss fights.

I can get stomped the frick out by bosses in fromsoft titles and it won't bother me because I understand the rules and it usually feels fair.

Sometimes as I play this, the flow of combat shifts on a dime. I didn't think that I raged at games anymore. nope, I just wasn't playing nioh. :lol:

Having to unlearn my dark souls/elden ring roll spamming and focus on my blocking/ki management.

I thoroughly enjoy 99% of Resident Evil content. I don't see any indication that this will be a miss. Ready for it to come out.
Yeah, this place and most of the other TD oriented stuff like the discord server and steam group are low traffic to no traffic.

Thought I’d have a new outlet for gaming after building a pc but it’s all relatively dead.

Being in your 40s while gaming is essentially like being 80 anywhere else.
They do this to try and double dip as much as possible.

Most buy digital at this stage but it could convince some with a physical preference to buy it twice.

Then they’ll do a next gen re-release and a pc release.

It’s all based in maximizing sales for this title since we won’t get a peep about gta VII until we are all rotting in the ground. :lol:
I never played the original but I thoroughly enjoyed the remake.

It can drag at a few points, combat and enemy variety can be a little wanting, but the overall setting and premise carry it strongly the whole way, IMO.

The voice actor for James does an incredible job.
