i'm glad nioh 3 isn't all like the big open area they give you in the demo because while it's a cute zone to get comfy with the controls it also felt trivial to clear
February 10, 2026 at 7:57 PM
tbh they could still shoehorn those in anyway, i wouldn't mind it

tbh i was wondering how well the game would work open world and it seems that in map 2 they go "ah... well..." i'm having more fun with it now but i kinda miss doing that one temple map like 8 times with different enemy layouts

it's kind of funny that immediately after the demo area nioh 3's open world just kind of turns into "regular nioh levels but you walk from one to another instead of picking them on a menu"

the tragedy of video reencoding means you can't see that the kappa was oscillating up and down at like 144hz

i'd also like to directly confront the idea that, well, for "some reason", things that used to be forums, wikis, websites ended up on discord.

it's not a mystery. running a website, wiki, whatever, is hard. maintaining a community is hard. getting people to engage with things is hard.

forum.terminallevy.net i don't think 'forum' is the one-stop replacement but i've been running one for a couple months as a lil side project, they're fun to spin up

yeah and i'm the other way around, it's just entirely different brain modes i think

on some level i feel like giving up some convenience is inevitable if you want to switch to tools and services that aren't as evil, & the fact that it can be quite hard to do so is a big part of why these companies make the moves they do

spending a decade - that’s ten years, or 12.5% of an average human lifetime - making a fighting game only to immediately go ohhhhh wait a minute fighting games don’t make as much money as league of legends and we already own that let’s fire everyone

tbh much as i enjoy the forum it's definitely died down since the month i launched it! i do love the idea of forums but im not sure if everyone has the energy for them these days, which is a shame

i'm curious to see what later areas and ng+ will feel like because whatever the structure i've kind of felt like this game is way easier than 2 mostly due to the fact that creating 1v1s is very easy so far
February 9, 2026 at 4:27 PM
yea they still got one-off missions that reuse maps but it's much less than in 2, i liked the aspect of learning the layouts too
February 9, 2026 at 4:20 PM
on the whole it feels easier to turn fights into 1v1s but the real damage of open world is you have dickheads like me doing every single thing on the map & ending up 20+ levels above what the end of the zone wants you to be at

this was my big worry with the demo but like every single 'open world' area after the demo is a lot more structured and closed off and there's still missions that have mandatory fights. still kind of a step down in terms of forcing fights onto you but not as bad as i assumed it would be

my favourite style of experience is teen-appropriate
