So how would the story work with this "play as any NPC" thing? I'm not sure how to feel about this. Guess we just have to wait and see.
either you recruit people and then can play as them (think MGSV) ... or you can "hack" people and play as them ...

Did anyone end up grabbing Deathgarden? Tempted to grab it because a friend is digging it.
Did not enjoy the beta at all but apparently it’s better now?
user reviews seems to suggest it is indeed better now ;)

It'll be an EGS/Uplay exclusive and run like shit. WD2's port was AWFUL.
i think that's pretty much guaranteed by now (both things)

Argh! Screw the Screws in Void Bastards. I was about half way through a hard difficulty run with no deaths when I was swarmed by four of them. They managed to corner me in a small room with no other exits.

So I don't spoil any workbench upgrades for anyone that's still early on I'll spoiler tag this.
I ran out of zap charges and hadn't been able to upgrade it yet so it didn't have the longer stun or chain effect either. :crying-face:

Ha! I actually started on hard bastard difficulty after finishing up my normal run and quickly realized that was going to be too much for me right now.

So knocking it down one level and going for the monthly challenge is definitely a good motivator to keep trying and hopefully get good enough for hard bastard later. :)

And no kidding, I'm going to need all of the luck I can get. I'm still trying to play it like it's late game with all of the upgrades and obviously that is a huge mistake. :LOL:

Fucking. Finally.



I loved the game but holy shit, the endgame content is for people who don't value their own sanity. Which I guess includes me because I made it all the way to Way of the Wise, which is this game's equivalent of NG+++. I only made it as far as the second region, though, because at that point I was able to get through the missions ( and would level up like 20+ times along the way) but I would deal so little damage to the bosses that they were basically impossible.

The worst part is that I don't even want to uninstall it. The combat is just so good, I kinda want to keep playing. I should probably take a break and play something else for a little while, though, before I lose my mind or give myself an aneurysm... Preferably something nice and relaxing. Maybe I'll finally give Okami a shot, I've been on a Japan-themed streak since Sekiro, so why not keep it going.

I had to stop trying to hundo it. I fucking love the game and I can’t wait for 2. But god the endgame content and NG+ is a nightmare.

Yeah, I feel you. There were a few times where I considered giving up but the combat kept me completely hooked. Then when it was down to the last few achievements, I figured I kinda had to keep going. FromSoft has nothing on this game's NG+, though. You can power through most of NG+ pretty quickly in any Souls games but in Nioh it immediately becomes just as hard as it was when you were first starting the game. And it only increases exponentially from there. I'm honestly not sure what the hell they were thinking. I had so much trouble making it to just the 20th floor in the Abyss, I can't even begin to imagine making it all the way to 1000.

Those optional double bossfights at the end of nioh were fucking brutal
Yeah, those were honestly kinda bullshit. I don't feel bad at all for putting them off until much later when I was both overleveled and overgeared for them. And even then some boss combos were still kind of a pain in the ass to deal with.

Yeah, Nioh combat is just so good and I could play it forever. I'm still in the middle of the way of the strong, and combined with PS4 I'd probably clocked at 200+ hours already so far. It's a game that I can regularly postpone and revisit later.

Are launcher/client overlays decreasing game performance a bit? Like when I launch WD2 I have the Steam overlay, the uPlay overlay and the nVidia stuff is running as well.

Sadly the Steam overlay does not support capturing or else I would only use that.

Tweet is not loading on my end, but not deleted as I can access the original twitter post.
Just doing my part for on the Meta troubleshooting front :heroblob:

edit - and now the tweet is displayed in my reply thonkingemoji
edit 2 - and now it display correctly, that's it, I'm shit at user report, fuck it all


Beating Yuuki + Oda is definitely one of my proudest game accomplishments in recent years.
You people sure do a bad job at tempting me to play Nioh after admitting defeat on Sekiro.

bobnowhere Lol, 7 or 8!? I'm on at least my 12th client. Some are due to the game crashing and counting it as a death others are due to getting boxed in and dying. I may have to uninstall/reinstall as the game is crashing more frequently. Stupid Unity games aren't very stable on my rig.

I remembered i still need to finish WatchDogs but Aiden is such an unlikable prick that i just don't care about him, to the point that during invasions i just stand in the middle of the street and go and get a cuppa, if he's died when i get back then whatev's. I also hope it spoiled the fun for the invaders too. lol!

edit: bought nothing in sales yet but i have been redeeming keys from my various bundle accounts which is nice. Tempted by a couple of deals but if i miss them, eh, not bothered really.

EdwardTivrusky I definitely lost one to a bug. I quit for the night, came back the next day and all my food was gone and as soon as I moved to the next ship I starved to death. I think I lost two to pirate attacks, those guys are tough, no idea how to beat them and a few more due to getting surrounded in closed rooms. Once you get towards the end of the game, you really have to almost give up to die, they give you so much damage, health and even heart restarters.

Think I'm done with the GOG sale, bought Kingdom Come, Iconoclasts, Tower of Time and Sundered.
I've noticed there's no mention of Deep Silver on the GoG store page for Kingdom Come. Is this version self-publisher by the devs? The only reason why I haven't bought this game yet is because I don't want to give Deep Silver my money after the Metro Exodus exclusivity deal...

According to Wikipedia:
On 29 September 2016, it was announced that Warhorse Studios had signed a deal with Koch Media's game publishing division Deep Silver to publish the console versions, as well as the retail PC version.
So you should be fine with getting it digitally.

I know I'm just a random guy in a forum, but please don't support THQ financially. Hosting an AMA on a site known for tolerating child pornography should tank the company. Their weak ass apology doesnt cut it, the top brass must resign.

On a daily basis I see reports of missing children from their desperate relatives, I can't imagine what horrible stuff could be happening to them, since my country has the shameful distinction of being a capital for human trafficking and production of child porn. Please, PLEASE dont buy this game.

i get you are all feeling strong about it , i just wish people were so diligent about boycotint companies that do some real shit or have nasty history (like Fanta, Siemens or adidas) and not just byocotting work of developers that have litle to do with the two PR dudes that were for few minuts posting on vile forum , sure its really bad look , but hey lets all buy next slotmachines for kids game for our kids , lets all dring the drink that was created for the WW2 nazis and sportswear by nazi fashion creator ... all hunky dory

itt justs feel bit pretentious to me , but hey your mileage may vary

At least Epic is heavily against Child pornography and doesn't condone it at all.
yep Tim's best bro , the magician Randy is totally against it
