Most cases, you have to grind it out for months even, and you have to continue playing said game. I wouldn't dig into MK for the Esports value, but you should get into it because you want to.
I like that you continue to try and find other options. Props. There's a list of fighting games but they all come with time and preparation. Fighting games take time to even be decent unless you are multi-talented and adapt fast.
Same with Nioh, if Nioh somehow ended up in a not-so-great situation then oh well shit happens lel, on to the next because there is "always" better titles out there, luckily Nioh ended up pretty good so I support it, if it wasn't a good game then I wouldn't have supported it. Should be common...
I like DOA as much as anyone, but dear heavens I will never obsess to the heavens for it lol. Obsessions leads to clouding your judgment. Obsession also leads to do things like this, but as they say, it's your money and time.
Maybe expand your library of games more so that you don't have to...
Tecmo merged with Koei to form Koei Tecmo. It's still the same people.
Ninja Gaiden also released for the OG Xbox and Nioh with the latest titles (minus Yoshizawa). Still the same people.
If Nioh decided to hit the backburner, then Nioh isn't life either lol. You say you don't care about TN...
Supporting gacha is a sham because digging into gacha will just create more in that process. And yes, NG and Nioh is their own created franchises.
If you are that obsessed with DOA indoctrination then by all means, feel free to look silly I guess.
EDIT: Perfect time to use this tweet...
TN also does not make the deciding factor of continuing DOA. Koei Tecmo does. Why is it that people have to constantly hold your hand on why TN does these things to begin with? it's as clear as day. A fighting game vs an action-oriented genre. It's not rocket science on why they chose to...
You do realize that most of TN always had a focus to do things "more than just DOA" correct? and that's over 90% of them. DOA is a fighting game which is part of a niche genre, they can't continue to enforce DOA if the investment for it is piss poor vs other genres, it is perfectly normal to aim...
Nioh 2 is a good choice, since you can get plenty of customizations and create your own female (from a very good established game) with different range of outfits.
I doubt it's a fighting game, the genre is too niche. But it does take a new fresh of things if it is one.
It's still unknown who the director will be for the new IP, Hayashi may be involved but it doesn't automatically mean he would be the major handle of it.
Could vary. P4 and even 5 vanilla I thought was pretty alright imo since they provided some portions to get to know some of the early characters better so it wasn't a huge bore fest. Witcher III on the other hand I find it to be a bit worse in that department in every way. Every time I had to...
But then again, sometimes it is usually better to get the boring slow start things out the way just so that you don't have to deal with it later I guess lol.
@Hold_Junkie93 It usually varies for the game for me. Like The Witcher III had a hella boring start that I almost legit gave up on the game thinking it might of been not for me. Turns out that it was just the hurdle, some games I am not a fan of the slow start because of their approach to things.
