Gort posted:Any experienced Nioh players wanna help me out? Sell everything for amrita at the blacksmith. Don't bother with soul matching and bullshit it's expensive and you don't need it for NG. For now get levels in heart and magic, plus one other thing for a secondary weapon/weight reduction (spears are very good). Always stay in the green weight range. Magic might not appeal greatly but being able to empower weapons with elements or cast stat debuffs is of huge importance at times. Sloth is a crutch but crutches are good when you've broken your legs off kicking a demon 400 times for no reward.

Samurai Sanders posted:Well what do you know. Your "real name" is showing Neat, so it seems all Asian versions are effectively identical, they just have a different "default" language they fall back to if your language isn't set to an officially supported language (when my console is English, my copy reverts to Traditional Chinese; I presume yours would revert to Japanese in that instance), and probably some product code variances to restrict which store(s) you can get your DLC from. Are retail discs still a major component of Japanese game sales (as in way more than digital sales and not close to even like it is in the West)? I'm assuming so since they're typically cheaper, at least now, and the trade-in ability must still be appealing to many. I also wonder if, like how some English speakers in parts of Europe/Australia/New Zealand will shop on US PSN, there's a subset of Japanese people who just buy from the Hong Kong PSN store in Japan, at least for the games where it's known the Asian version also supports Japanese (and may in fact only be in Japanese because stuff can get really weird in those territories), since those are typically 25% cheaper or thereabouts, including for disc copies which I imagine must be trivial to import from HK or Taiwan.

Ghots of Tsushima's trailer was cool but it's been so long since we've seen gameplay I forgot what the game is actually going to be like. Went to dig a gameplay trailer up and it looks like the only one is from 2018. Seems like it's essentially Assassin's Creed?

Alright I gotta be honest I’ve been in a really poo poo place lately and it’s been super hard to care about anything especially videogames. I’m not really compelled to play anything currently in my mix. Not even Yakuza even though I finally resubbed my plus for it. Should I grab something new? Force myself back into one I have going? I know you all chatted a bit about mental health and games recently. It’s usually a go to for pulling me out of bad times but lately I haven’t bothered. I miss it even though it’s always available. Brains are loving dumb. I’ve been reading Borges lately for the first time though in my ~actually doing something time~ and man, what a fantastic writer. I would play a Borges game.

I think we all are in some respects. I have been reading comics instead of gaming and when I do game it has been ten minutes and then I would rather be elsewhere. We have slumps and they are a bummer and perhaps this is a slump you are having too. Do not force yourself to game, maybe a breather is needed. Maybe doing other things will bring the spark back. You do not have to game to come chat here Also if you are doing the therapy stuff or taking medication, double check they are doing well too. Gaming will always be here!

I cannot get over how good that Doom Eternal soundtrack trailer is. I think I'm going to hold off on buying it until I clear some of my single player game backlog (looking at you, Yakuza 0!) and the price drops a little bit. I'm awful at shooters and don't feel like spending $60 to suck at a videogame.

Maybe my concern is misplaced, but in my experience this is a natural outcome for anyone who plays video games habitually. Anything that is a habit can gradually over time become indistinguishable from routine, and I don't know about you, but for me Games aren't fun anymore when playing them feels routine. I often bow out of a game long before I'm finished because the act of playing certain games had become so routine it felt like a chore. These are the times where I take breaks, usually to read comics or find some other outlet, in addition to reading posts here of people in similar situations. It's at least of a small comfort to me to read these forums, where mostly people are really supportive, even though I don't post much. I don't know who Borges is, what kind of writing do they do, could you recommend a title? Hope things improve for you soon!

Brains are loving dumb. I’ve been reading Borges lately for the first time though in my ~actually doing something time~ and man, what a fantastic writer. I would play a Borges game. When I don't feel great I normally try a new videogame genre or something that I never gave a shot before. When I first tried Dark Souls years ago I didn't like it but tried again while having problems and it just clicked and now I'm in love with the series and that kind of game. I find games with a lot of numbers and theorycrafting like The Division 1/2 help me to focus and others like Prey or Control have enviroments that disconnect me from real life, helping me relax. Books, series and such are good tools too, just juggle stuff until you find something that makes you feel better. Running or walking long distances are great for your brain and your body.

What kind of games do you usually play? We’ve been in a bit of a release drought since the beginning of this year, but we’re about to get a whole bunch of big stuff all at once in the next few weeks if any of those sound interesting to you. On the horizon: Nioh 2 (3/13), DOOM Eternal and Animal Crossing (3/20), Resident Evil 3 Remake (4/3), and Final Fantasy 7 Remake (4/10). I’m a bit overwhelmed by all of it tbh.

I don’t know if you have Dreams or not, KD, but the music making software is super fun to use, and the game-making stuff too of course, but the coolest stuff I’ve found, and have had the most fun doing, is like making weird little art installations I guess. Stuff like this: https://youtu.be/I7-s_V3TJeg And https://youtu.be/BuBAVTP0q2E are some of the more interesting things I’ve found and similar to stuff I’ve been working on since I’ve been basically just making music and trying to do more abstract visual art stuff since I’m awful at it and it’s easier to make stuff like that than like animating a person in a way that doesn’t look awful. Plus it makes me feel like I’m not totally wasting my time and of course you can just browse other peoples’ Dreams and it’s like playing Newgrounds or browsing Youtube.

Borges is (well, was) an Argentine short story writer and one of the original inventors of magical realism. If you played Kentucky Route Zero it owes a lot to him.

I’m playing Kentucky Route Zero on PS4 for the first time and it is good. Edit: but it makes me want to play disco elysium with a controller, just because I want to play it again and the comparisons to that game made me check out KRZ, and I’ve never clicked a mouse so frequently in my life before playing Disco Elysium.

Just saw the Ghost of Tsushima story trailer. The game looks absolutely gorgeous, the story looks pretty good which is a + for a suckerpunch game. I just feel like if the combat is as fun as the infamous games this could be a big *hit.

Are you experiencing tiredness or ennui in general my dude? Sometimes when I'm down on things I lose interest in hobbies I normally enjoy, it's quite common. If reading is making you happy read a bit more! I didn't play video games for a couple of months but now I'm back on a gaming rampage!

Yeah I need details on combat mechanics before I start getting excited. I think the most significant gameplay we've seen has been from the E3 2018 video, and all I can suss out is that 1) there's combat and 2) there's stealth kills. If the combat and stealth can't keep me engaged then I'm not going to want to slog through it, no matter how good the story and visuals are.
