Why aren't you playing the GOTY, /v/?
>>723890034I am.
>>723890034Because NG is shit and platinum is shit
>>723890034I just got to chapter 8 I think, the drowned district. Best Plat game since Bayo 1.
>>723890150this is so hot... erm, I mean... This is so fucked up Ryu got like 4 levels!!! I love Ry... Playing as Ryu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He needs more levels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And weapons haha
>>723890131I kneel...
>>723890034Because I have a family and Christmas gifts to buy for all of them?
>>723890034there's no way she's not returning as a playable character right?
>tfw due to the lock on in this game, piercing void will hit enemies even if they jump out of the waybros...
I've been getting hard-filtered on normal difficulty in the first true mission (the pylon one) and am clawing my way forward inch by inch. Every new significant obstacle (multi-wave arena, and now the boss) I am dying over and over and over because I refuse to use consumables.I am having so much fun. I can't fucking CONCEIVE of what this game must be like even on hard mode, never mind on master ninja, unless you're an item-spamming shitter. Especially since I assume this works like other NG games where you lose all your upgrades on a new playthrough, so hard mode is not "okay it's tougher but you have your full kit from mission 1"
>>723890034love me wife Sexori
>>723890150>target demographic for NG4 are literal homosexual sodomites
>>723890382>I assume this works like other NG games where you lose all your upgrades on a new playthroughIf you start New Game, yeah. Chapter Challenge (which lets you play the whole game as ryu) can load a completed save file to carry over all collectibles, items and upgrades.
I wanted Platinum to make Anarchy Reigns 2 but this will have to suffice.

>>723890258>>723890262looks like no one can find it retards
>Having trouble with the fish boss>Realize you can just get him to kill his own dudesFuck I'm retarded
>>723890034are the girls playable too?this is important
>>723891423>use staff to kill ghost fish>they drop orbs>UT spam shark boss to deathnothing personnel...
>>723891520No.
>First run through on Hard>Not using itemsAm I brave or dumb as fuck
>>723890034I don't play yellowslop games
>>723890746I can't get a webm under 4MB without it looking like complete ass or only lasting 15 seconds.
How the fuck does the Raven clan not know about demons/yokai/fiends but have access to blood magic? I mean if they were just a government wetwork team then sure I could believe it up to the point where the world gets attacked by fiends in NG2 (barring Vigoor due to being an isolated nation) but I'm sure the NG/DOA/Nioh verse has been mask off on magical bullshit for awhile now.
>>723890034I am though.
Because my hand hurts from playing for 5 hours already today. Too many fucking buttons.
tit slop
>>723891762What is the in universe reason for there being yellow paint everywhere?
>>723891710You're still getting penalized for dying, might as well go full hog
>>723890034I don't play Platinum slop games.
>>723891710I would say don't be afraid to use items as even NG pros do on their MN runs, but you are actually doing yourself a favour in the long run: the more items you hold onto, the more ninjacoin you'll be getting from chests. Some of those NG+ items are quite pricey.
>>723891762its yellowkino dou
>>723891919>choosing to use or not use items on the basis of ranklame and gay>choosing to not use items because you want to git gud and items are for shittersbased and ninjapilled
what do i use the offset combo thingy for? ive just beaten the game without ever touching it and just remembered i had that ability. and now im wondering, whats the use case for it?
>>723892137Continuing strings after interruption by a dodge or block.
>>723891927This is Team Ninja kino.
>>723890150ryu gets to pound this every night
>>723892137I think it could be useful as a punisher when you do a couple of hits on someone, evade and then punish with a launcher, should be pretty good since perfect evade gives you very litte slowdown time and you dont have the time for a full string like in Bayo
>actual thread here >>723888948
>>723892803Slopspammer is in there as well.
>>723893178That's me
>>723890034>low polygon asswhy is this still allowed in 2025
>>723893178You lost and got raped
>>723894101>schizo is an assblasted tendie actuallylol lmao @ ur lyfe
>Game has dodging, perfect blocking and parry in weapon clashingFucking finally a game that does parrying right. I always hated perfect block or a dedicated parry button as the only option. And even still you can just stick to dodging. It's basically all I ever wanted.
>>723895152The only thing I dislike is that the "weapon clash" is basically just the perfect block on a different input; it has the same result (knock back enemy, opens a window for a counterattack) and the same timing (it's about when you press the button, it isn't hitbox-on-hitbox like in DMC).Would have been cooler if perfect block gave you some sort of buff or opening without causing the enemy stagger, and the weapon clash relied on you actually getting an attack out with the correct timing.
>>723896459They access different follow up abilities. Parry -> Heavy attack. Perfect Block -> Bloodraven/Gleamform, cost resource, break/interrupt super armour / special attack states of enemies.
>>723896607I know, but they still feel very mechanically similar, I would have preferred a little bit of distinction in terms of HOW they felt to use, rather than just what sort of attack/action they enabled.
>>723896607No actually, you have the same Y or bloodraven followups with either parry or perfect block. Reflect and fatal flash both have a bloodraven variant. The one big distinction with parry is that it gives essence orbs which allows you to UT bosses for free without them blocking it.
>>723896906As someone who holds block all the time since that's what you did in the last three games I don't mind that I'm not totally missing out on these kinds of timed counter moves. Knowing when you can let go of LT and get ready to perfect block is a skill I'm happy to learn in future playthroughs while focusing on dodges and parries this time.
>>723898115Yeah it's a genuinely good idea to just play it safe. 70% of my boss deaths on hard are just mistimed perfect blocks/parries because getting hit unsurprisingly hurts a lot. You literally cannot get hit as long as you hold block (within reason because you have a limit) and interrupt/dodge red attacks.
>>723898115I mean that's fair, I just think a little startlag on the parry would be nice. One of the first things I learned to do in NG4 was to guaranteed parry the basic mooks that do an uppercut-to-helmsplitter. Because even if you get hit by the uppercut, you can still tap attack as the helmsplitter lands to get the parry OUT of your own hitstun, and the timing is 100% consistent (you don't need to react to the AI choosing to attack, the follow up always has the same timing after the first hit). That's kind of broken, and it's a consequence of the "parry" being an input-driven action rather than a hitbox/animation-driven action.Meanwhile, I think perfect block should not stun the enemy at all. Maybe it could give you a big chunk boost to your blood meter and/or give you a window where you can do a single blood raven action for free as a follow up. Something that would allow you to perfect-block a whole series of enemy combo strikes for a massive boost. It would still reward you for having good timing, and it would still allow the player to choose WHICH well-timed response they wanted for tactical reasons (do I want essence and an opening to attack? Do I want to fill my meter and get a free super? Do I want a slowdown window with iframes to set up a launcher and izuna?) But the game feel would be different for each, testing slightly different skills, and allowing mastery of each one to massage a slightly different part of the brain.But this is just me wanking about game design. To be clear, I love the system in NG4, it feels awesome.
>>723890034I'M OLD, ALRIGHT?I can't play these games anymore. I've lost the Touch.
i tried to emulate black but the sound is all fucked up, im gonna have to conect the xbox S. Also the city doesn't have robots, just regular soldiers that shit probably happens in higher levels. Black is full of humans till the demon girl iirc. NG4 is horrible and so is NG2. 4 is slightly better than 2 because it's new. Should've boughted the new pokemon instead it looks fun
>>723891520Nope. Ayane's only in for like three minutes, don't get excited.
>>723898795aight i connected the elgato 4k card, time to rock and roll all night baby the ninja gay black way
>>723898795In hard mode they add robots that appear as soon as you enter the city. That's the cool thing about the game since it gets remixed every time you go up a difficulty.
>>723898691Play on Normal?Play on Hero Mode?
It's my GOTY but KT really shot themselves in the foot by not making this a Ryu game. You don't make a "comeback game" after 12 years and then try to push a new protag on people, that's not how this works unfortunately
>action game>gameplay is the focus>all the shills have to advertise a gameplay heavy title is coombaitBad sign. Whenever shill threads on /v/ don't open with a cool gameplay webm but instead just post the game's girls you know it's a bad game. Stellar Blade and Nier Automata are perfect proof of this.And literally every gacha thread.
>>723902469The reason Nier Automata got popular was literally because of 2B's fucking ass being spammed everywhere.
>>723902664Nier is a story focused game. The fat ass has to be in context and nobody gives a shit about Yakumo or Seori.
>>723902664yeah that's what I'm saying. If the shills try to lure you in with good looking girls and not gameplay then you know they have something to hide.
>>723902969NG4 is easily Platinum's best playing game since Bayo1 though and up there with NG2 in terms of fun factor
>>723903079gonna need some gameplay webms before I believe that
