That's my favorite Harlan Ellison story.

When I read stuff about Persona 5 on GAF I think "Man, this game is kinda fucked in a bunch of different ways" but then I actually play it and I think "But also I'm enjoying the hell out of it?"

Hires?
Perfect! My renewal was tomorrow, so it's amazing timing.
Kinda expected that from the "2-week" thing in Bombcast
I just think I have a high tolerance for stuff people call out as bad or just plain bullshit. It's a game I've had serious issues with putting down.
Welp, extended my sub.
I joined last year when they were running the same sale and enjoyed the premium content (and I still so much stuff to watch)
My PayPal info was apparently saved to their website which I did not expect.. didn't even need any confirmation other than clinking the "extended my sub" link

I'm good until 2019 now. Through the lows and highs, Giant Bomb remains one of my primary sources of entertainment and I hope the site continues to grow.
I thought the Nier combat got better halfway thru route B when it started to be more challenging. Dropping it down to Easy would have made it less interesting for me.

Reupped through August 2018 because why not.
I think I'm gonna wait out the new hires and see what happens with West this year before re-upping
I'm good until September the 10th. No need to re-up for me at this point. They'll have a Thanksgiving sale around that time anyway.

I cant put my finger on it but why is nioh not as good as the souls games? It's completely serviceable in every way, the combat at face value seems more in depth but it doesn't really grab me.
It's more Ninja Gaiden than Souls.
I've heard it has issues with atmosphere, level design, and enemy variety. That's why I've held off on shelling out nearly 100 Canadian buckaroos on it
the level design sucks
people always forget the level design when they make all those Soulsvanias or retro FPS games

basically this. It's not interesting aesthetically either but that's imo. It's just a very one-note game in every respect. Little enemy variety, encounter variety, level variety... it's all just kind of the same loop over and over again. And it's a pretty good loop, because the core combat is really fucking good. I might actually prefer the movement and combat over Souls. But everything else is just a bit lacking. Souls isn't just great because of combat, it also has amazing world-building, interesting lore to discover if you want to, a fantastic art style, intricate level design... Nioh doesn't really have any of those things. Also I think the loot and inventory stuff sucks. Lots of busywork and micromanagement but little in the way of satisfying progression.
These are kinda my thoughts on it, except I actually prefer Souls-style more deliberate and "heavy" movement and combat.
Bought Nioh at launch too, but traded it in soon afterwards.

100% agree with you on this. Fun game, but I tapped out at like hour 30 because it got a bit to repetitive. Hope they make a sequel.

After my wife loved watching the Persona 4 Endurance Run and loving her own subsequent play-through, we just got this in today, it's going above the TV with other similarly styled art.

That is pretty cool
I could never get into Dark Souls or Bloodborne, but love Nioh. I've had such a blast with it.
This premium sale comes at the perfect time as I'm about to run out in 2 weeks.
that's rad
That is so cute. I hope she played P4G!
Whatever issues people seem to have with the game, I put 100 hours in less than two weeks into it. The game consumed my free time like no other in many years. The only issue I personally have now is that I finished the game.

and then for TFA he read every single pre-release spoiler and later said he didn't enjoy it much because he knew what happens.

I watched a movie made in 1977 and knew all the scenes in TFA, there's no avoiding that one.
I liked it more than BB and especially DeS in a lot of ways, but it is a really long game if you're of average ability like me.

Thanks for the compliments on the print duders! This is the other matching one we got, not a Pikmin guy myself, but I like the colors:
Artist name for both prints is Kyle Fewell
No, she played the original... She loved Chie so much, partially because of the original voice actress. So what's the general consensus on her replacement for P4G?

Nioh is a game that could most use an expansion pack. Just needs more enemy variety.
The base mechanics are pretty awesome though.

A sequel with more enemy variety (and maybe a connected world) would be awesome!

oh. he still exists, huh.
Did you think Ea killed him when Live 17 didn't come out?
