I've played through the whole thing. I wouldn't call it a good game, but some of the level design is actually pretty good, the level where you're shrunk in the restaurant is pretty cool in this way. But the controls are awful, the humor falls flat, and there's too much bullshit like rail gun sections, etc that ruin any potential.

Yeah the thing about Ana is that it's not super obvious when you're doing well. Your stats are never gonna be amazing like some of the DPS and tank characters. Even the healing stats look a lot worse than a Mercy. But it's great when a teammate is fighting someone far away and I snipe a heal and it turns the battle and saves my teammate.

I like being able to be a healer and help my team, but Mercy is just kinda boring to play. Ana at least requires a lot of skill, it's fun still. Plus Ana can actually defend herself, I've won a lot of one vs ones versus flankers I shouldn't have won due to sleep darts and grenades. Ana's grenade is amazing.

In order to keep from getting flanked as easily though, you should actually stay closer to your group. Personally, I often love to basically be a part of the big core ground group, just a shade further back. Then I can stay unscoped, which makes it easy to heal people nearby. Like even though she's a sniper, I find I often don't want her to be way way back up high, because it makes it harder to be effective. Tailing my group on the ground often works much better.

Monster Bash for the DOS. Amazing game.

I *think* I remember that? Although what I remember wasn't so amazing, so maybe that was a different Monster Bash.


You play a kid in pajamas with a slingshot and you go around killing monsters and saving kidnapped pets. It's just a fun 2D shooter type of game with cool levels and design. Though I guess I don't know if it's considered good or not because I've never known anyone who played it. But I find it quite fun.

Batman Forever for the Sega Genesis.

I literally couldn't progress past the first part of the game because none of the controls made sense to me.

And by the first part of the game I mean the VERY BEGINNING. As in the first screen of the first stage.


I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out how the fuck to play that game as a kid. The game doesn't tell you how to do anything, and you have to do these complex button combos with perfect timing just to like open doors and fire your gadgets. There are tons of gadgets to pick from and I've only ever seen like one, because I literally have no idea how to use them. I think after much struggle I made it to level 3 once, but yeah, awful awful controls.

No the enemy variety is not exaggerated. Name a dark souls game that has an enemy type that appears in every single area. You can't. Nioh has multiple.

Bloodborne sort of has this problem but I don't care. If it's fun it's fun.


My point is that it's not as fun to fight the same enemy for the entire game. Nioh seems really difficult for the first 25%, but you've basically seen it all at that point and mastered the combat, so it's pretty smooth sailing from there until you get to some of the endgame optional stuff. The progression of difficulty is not great.

I know I'm ragging on it a lot but I did overall enjoy the game. The combat gameplay is maybe the best I've played of this style. You really feel like a god once you get good. Ki pulse was an ingenious idea, it creates a beautiful ebb and flow to battle. But in my mind it doesn't have the polish or attention to detail or variety to quite be on the same level as the souls series.

Level design is not quite on souls level either. There are a few highlights though for sure.

You don't realize how vital the huge interconnected world of souls is until you don't have it in nioh. Mission based just isn't the same, you lose immersion.

Nioh is a solid game but it is not quite on souls level overall. Mostly it's just too damn long and you spend that entire long game fighting the same vanilla yokai over and over and over. the bosses are quite fun though, I found the bosses to be the highlight for sure.

The other problem is lack of weapon variety. There are five weapon types, but each sword, spear, etc has the exact same move set. The loot system is also pretty uninspiring. Almost all the loot is randomized and you spend a large part of the game just managing a ridiculous number of items in your inventory.

Nioh has a better combat system than dark souls and that really helps. But the non-connected world and sever lack of enemy variety really hurt the game. It's still fun but you fight many of the same exact enemies in every level for the entire game.


yeah, i've heard the criticisms. sounds like it's not gonna be the true "successor" to souls since great/interesting level design is definitely a hallmark of the series as much as the combat.

at least i'll be coming into it with my expectations set. looking forward to the challenge!


When you first start nioh seems harder because it's much less forgiving in terms of raw damage. You can often quickly get 2-3 hit comboed and be dead before you know it.

But once you master the combat system the main game is relatively easy aside from a few hiccups here and there. Since you fight many of the same enemies the whole game you learn basically every move and every tell they have and the combat is super quick and responsive so you can dodge around everything all day. You definitely feel really good at the game

Fought Gael once and did alright, just ran out of estuary too soon, dude has a lot of health. Got him down to like 33% health left, doesn't seem toooo hard just a marathon so can't make too many mistakes.

Fought midir once and he one hit killed me almost instantly with a laser beam so that sucked.

Been practicing ariandel fight to try to go back and beat that. Finally got phase 1 down well, but I just can't get used to phase 3 yet since you get so little practice for it.

Is it? I'm not sure where he ranks among bosses in terms of difficulty. I've heard this dlc has one of the hardest bosses in the series but I don't know a whole lot otherwise. I think The only other bosses i beat the first time were yhorm, oceiros, and champion gundyr.

I still haven't beaten friede and the other wolf boss from the first dlc so I gotta go back and do that too.

DArk souls was never designed to be a speed run game so it's pretty ludicrous to expect there to be speed run designed levels, especially since speed running is a very niche market.

Also you definitely do not have to do anywhere near everything in the copse every time. There's multiple shortcuts and optional areas.

The only bottleneck thing you have to do is hit the lever to lower the bridge. Everything else you can literally just run past
