Re: Rise of the Ronin PC Port Announced for March 2025

Ryu_Niiyama

Welp I think that will be my last ps5 game. I have 10 ps5 games and at this point 7 of them have gone to pc (or xbox which is where I would have purchased if I had the same choice originally). . Since I purchase sony systems as exclusive boxes it looks like my best bet is to migrate back to PC. This solidifies that I won’t be getting a PS6 or Xbox successor. Just PC and Switch 2. Looks like I will have the same game access with less system spread. Will start saving for a GTX 5090.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows' Now 'Super Fluid' Parkour Was the Reason for Its Second Delay

Ryu_Niiyama

My most anticipated game of the year and I am avoiding all spoilers but I do hope they try to devolve the parkour a bit. What I loved about older AC games (the first one especially) was that you had to plan your path up buildings. Looking for cracks and hand holds. It was slower sure but more realistic and imo more fun. That has long since been traded for leap and sprint jumps that are faster but look more unrealistic. And while the recent game engine doesn’t turn you into a spider totem, it is more forgiving about your path. I hope Ubisoft toned that down a bit. I will love the game either way but I still hope.

Edit: I have heard that Yasuke and Naoe climb differently (as they should) and i am looking forward to playing through twice as either character. I am hoping that has an impact on the ending but don’t expect it.

Re: Intergalactic PS5's Toxic Detractors Peddling Patently Fake 'Leaked' Story Details

Ryu_Niiyama

It always weirds me out when people pull the “looks like a man” card. And then point at lack of hair. Because that for one ignores a women’s fashion statement as bald/shaved/cropped hair isn’t new in women’s fashion (it isn’t even edgy anymore) and for two ignores that women have genetics that factor into hair growth including length. My 4c hair doesn’t go past my shoulders (not that one can tell because I wear it naturally and my hair is in an afro). Is it body type? Because both the character and obviously the actress she is based on look like women. I know the plastic surgery industry has made it hard to recognize natural female physical characteristics but geeze this is insane. We have no gameplay no nothing to be this up in arms about and the crazies are having strokes about hair? Apparently men are way more fashonistos than I am. Because not even mean girls in high school sound like this.

Re: CD Projekt Red Confirms Ciri Recast for The Witcher 4 on PS5

Ryu_Niiyama

So essentially people had been playing as the “Aragorn (or arguably the Bilbo)” in 1-3 and now the game is switching to the “Frodo” based on the book lore. So what is the issue again? I didn’t enjoy the first 3 witcher games but the show has gotten me interested in the lore (no interest in reading the books still though) so I am curious to see how the story progresses. So I will keep my ear to the ground.

Re: SEGA Is Betting Big on Its Legendary Virtua Fighter Franchise As the Yakuza Team Plots an All-New Entry

Ryu_Niiyama

Y’ALL I am straight up crying right now. I feel like the dragon has been awoken from slumber. I was ready to step away from gaming after a few releases I want in 2025 come out. Was even concerned that I might be out growing the hobby. But no I simply needed games that I wanted to play. Nintendo has kept me engaged but there are certain games they don’t make. And I feel like almost every lost franchise that I love is getting some kind of attention right now. (Still waiting on TES6) Okami sequel, Onimusha, Shinobi, Ninja Gaiden side scroller…modern games like ghost of yotei and AC Shadows so much getting added to my hype list. I really need these games to be good but I haven’t felt this much anticipation in a while (as in for MULTIPLE games). Please be good. I may get back into stick building over this. Years of survey polls and emails to SEGA may have finally been answered. Cannot wait to see the VFCD response.

Re: Assassin's Creed Shadows Lays the Foundation for a New Modern-Day Narrative

Ryu_Niiyama

This is the AC I have been waiting for after the modern day storyline has gone off the rails (imo death of Juno) but i don’t know if they can piece the modern day narrative into a coherent story at this point, for me at least. As such for me AC:S will be my final AC but I am going all out (CE and hidden blade are preordered). For me I cared about the modern story to keep me interested in the series as not every assassin or locale/culture was fun/interesting to me so at this point with the modern storyline to pot I am just riding out finally going to Japan. I feel like losing Desilets (and possibly May) put the franchise in a slow crash and burn trajectory.

Re: More People Are Playing the Original Horizon Zero Dawn Than Its Remaster on PC

Ryu_Niiyama

From the PC perspective the original is a more recent release and now there is “already” a remaster? I bought the original for PS4 day 1 and I still felt it was too soon for a remaster. So I can see users with machines just as or more powerful than a PS5 not being bothered (especially if they aren’t aware what has changed). That being said I hope sony stays the course. They keep going all in for PC and i don’t have to buy a PS6. Win win for me.

Re: Fortnite Mixing It Up with Hip-Hop Chapter 2 Reboot

Ryu_Niiyama

@AfroMario I never said that. I asked if young teens are listening to these artists. When I was a teen it wasn’t popular to listen to artists that debuted 3-4 decades ago. (Not saying I didn’t listen to old music but it was still considered old. Which is my point.) That’s the logic. And since none of the folks replying to me are teens my question still stands.
