yeah wo long was great!
visuals were still a bit confusing (to me) but it definitely felt more streamlined than nioh, which imho tries to do too many things at once
February 19, 2026 at 3:43 PM
thinking about doing a very small print run of this with like holo foil or something
i need to rembmer to post my art here too!

found some reaallly old art of mine aha
forgive the tiny resolution but these were scanned in like 2003?

yeah aha i tried nioh 2 right after finishing sekiro and phew it definitely suffered from the comparison

i do like the atmosphere and all of Nioh (and great great OSTs) but gameplay and visuals feel very confusing to me

there's something about the combat i find very confusing and enemy movesets very hard to read (a bit because of lighting/visuals) and i don't care much for the loot system and overabundance of weapons, makes it hard to stick to one thing

im glad they have their audience but just not for me

wish i liked playing these games

i wonder how long it'd take me to learn to draw faces as well as Naoki Urasawa

i also prefered the rosary bead system in 1 over 2, more customizable gameplay

i agree though that the quests were very cryptic and before they added all the QoL stuff in the updates/DLC, the game had LOTS of tedious backtracking
2 flowed much more naturally in that aspect
February 19, 2026 at 10:55 AM
im in the minority who prefers B1😅
2 def brought many QoL improvements and plays smoother, but i loved the weightiness and slower pace of 1, makes the game feel more grounded and raw .. while 2 plays a bit more like a more mainstream platformer
atmosphere was thicker and more metal in 1 too imho

honestly LVT's Melancholia, not because of the plot, which was whatever... but had to leave before the end to throw up because of the shaky cam
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

there's a bit in early dragon ball where Krillin fights a wereman and master roshi uses his shiny bald head as a makeshift moon to turn the wolf back into a man
