I can't believe people is excited about this slop. 14 weapons yet they all manage to feel the same. Every single mission has the same objective: explore, get fucked, kill boss, leave. WTF? Who enjoys this.Yes this is bait, now post your Hopes and Fears about Kinoh 3.
>hopesit's as good as if not better than 2>fearsit's worse than 2
>>729884325i can't believe the demo comes out on my birthday. thanks team ninja
Sar, for the Nioh 1, what is the 'most fum# weapon?Durgasoft needs to play again and do the DLCI'm learning towards 2kat or maybe spear since it seems like they lose the least going from 2 to 1>>729884325PC DEMO???? FUCK YESHopes? Hatchets are better than 2 for control scheme without the more skills modFears: the above will be a lie and Wirriam won't get to once again rape the fuck out of a QT jap
No one genuinely likes the Nioh games; people pretend to because they hate From Software and use those games as an anti-From, anti Dark Souls / anti Elden Ring weapon.
>>729884616Game comes a week before my birthday. I wasn't planning on getting it first day but the hype is too big to dismiss.
>>729884783Nioh is kino because you can't outlevel the content like you can souls gamesMizayki gave you a choiceNioh didn't
>>729884715Kusa and Tonfa are pretty fun, but you have to try and find your own, some people enjoy the big ass Odachis and Axes more.
>>729884715I ended up maining Kusarigama and Dual KatanaThe kusarigama is just so versatile. You can throw the weighted end for longer range attacks and hit multiple enemies with sweep attacks. There's also light spam attacks that drain enemy stamina quickly.
>>729885025the weapons i see the most online are fists and switchglaive, but every weapon seems to see pretty normal use among the playerbase. except for kusa and hatchets. rarely ever see either of those two
I hope they add ranged only as an option.
>>729884783I too like reading how fromsoft vets get filtered in nioh
>>729884783kek i like both series but you fromies are a salty bunch
>>729884783I remember when people would say this about Monster Hunter before those turned into baby games for babies
I need it now. I booted the alpha up yesterday in hopes that it would somehow glitch and let me in again but of course it didn't. The beginning of January always sucks, everything always releases either towards the end of it or in February/March.
>been using axe for the whole game>get a purple odachi that's way better than everything I have>decide to use it for a bit since it uses similar stats>it's fun as fuck Holy shit, 2 cakes
>>729884325Based. Pre ordered and can't wait for demo.
>>729884325>hopesI can use the axe the whole game>fearsThey make me use things that are not the axe
>>7298847151kat deals like 2-3x damage compared to 2, so it'd be retarded to not main it in 1Morning Moon and Kick are especially powerful compared to 2
>>729890554>They make me use things that are not the axeteam ninja would never give the player a million options only to pigeonhole them into only using a few
>>729884715Every weapon is fun and powerful just like how they're all fun and powerful in 2 so it's a question only you can really answer going into the game and you also have no reason not to use them all, particularly because of the way Proficiency and Samurai skill points work in Nioh 1. In terms of weapons that are the most similar in both games while everything gets a lot of nice upgrades and moves I would maybe say 2kat, Kusarigama and Axe are perhaps the most similar to how they are in 2 but even then it's not exact. Picking Spear so you can use Wild Spear when it was good is also an option, in 1 it would recover pretty much instantly so you could use it much more as a mobility tool.
>>729884325you lost the culture war you fucking retard. just kill yourself already
Nioh 2 > 3forced sissy style will ruin build variety end of discussions
>>729891130This.They basically gimped half the weapon types in the game, so now the game has fewer actual weapons compared to 2.I'll never understand why they made it like this instead of just taking Nioh 2 and adding on top of it.
>>729891130NIoh 1 & 2 have no jumping or aerial attacks which is pretty retarded for a CAG made by Ninja Gaiden devs. 3 will be superior for this reason alone.

>>729891336Lu bu, my beloved
>>729891220reason was most likely to make the whole experience more casual for new players, they are already hard riding the elden ring post release hype trainthe game might actually do a decent and better job with its open field concept compared to ER but gameplay will suck ass
>>729891130It's optional>>729891220Both styles have all the weapons. It's just retards who bought into anti-marketing that think the game is now split into two categories of play>>729891330Nioh 2 has a few iirc - not direct but shit like odachi's flip overhead, the spear's jump, hatchets has the air throwno direct, yes but they are still useed for mobilitynot to mention the fuckery of yokai skills
>>729891220Because there's nothing to add on top of Nioh 2. It's done. It has everything. They could've added the Wo Long shit but who cares?
>>729891330nioh is a pretty grounded experience and always was, they couldve added a lot of new aerial attacks to low stance, like flying monkey from spear or anything smilarkeep coping
>>729891543exactly its pretty refined, imo stance system couldve been updated a bit but core gameplay was goodif anything less loot bloat and better jutsu system was needed if anything
>>729891521"optional" but by not using it u are gimped, half of cool weapons and entire ninjutsu are taken hostage by this styleand dont even mention the double equipment diablo grind autism that they are introducing
>>729884325name a single bad team ninja game. you just absolutely can’t you faggot, YOU CAN’T!
>>729891809Styles*, every single weapon is available inboth samurai and ninjaYou make a good argument about ninjutsuI play on PC and will use my own CE table I'll make myself since it's mostly going to be the same values
>>729890371holy zased. this game is one of only a handful that warrants pre-ordering
>>729891829Wo Long and Ronin are basically literal dogshit.
>>729891336Neat, didn't really show much though.
>>729891946>literal dogshitbut enough about your taste, faggot
>>729891946the only thing that is shit is your opinions, nigger.
>>729891892no they are not, stop spreading false information
>>729884783You are projecting very hard lol
>>729892564They might have changed it from when it was played in JapanBut I will test the demo with cheat engine and some data extractors
Is he in?
>>729892916You'll probably fight another ancestor or something and I'm sure we'll get his ninpo as well. I guess with time travel shenanigans they could have you travel to the future and fight Ryu himself but I don't think they'll do that.
>>729884325I'm calling it now>ninja mode is so broken you'd be stupid to not always play in that modeor>ninja mode is so useless/weak you'll never use past the tutorial for itwith no in between what so ever
>>729891809all the base kits are still there, it's really just an extra damage mode for when you get behind enemies to do extra backstab damage. it's just another way for skill expression that you can ignore if you want to play the game like dark souls like some people do with ki pulsing.
I don't like TN games because the loot does not even matter for the first play thoughThat's just bad design
>>729894246im not switching my entire fucking guy into a different guy to do none of that gay shit
>>729891590low stance jumping attacks would be cool
>>729894506agree, they gotta go all in in ng with endgame level gear or atleast ng+ or dont do it at all
>>729894549yep, literally keep dodge on X, shift interact to R1 like in nioh 3 and add a whole new attack for each stance with O for even more attacks and combos
>>729894541there's a button to toggle, it's pretty easy to swap in and out of when you want extra backstab damage.
>>729894756I.WILL.NOT.BE.SWITCHING.INTO.A.DIFFERENT.FAGGOT.IN.THIS.GAME.
>>729884783It's not a pissing contest. I like both.
>>729891590>nioh is a pretty grounded experienceLOL
>>729895114are u retarded or what?
>To further differentiate the gameplay between Samurai and Ninja, the team decided not to give Ninja Ki Pulse, despite it being one of the signature gameplay elements in past games.
>first playthrough of 2>get to gozuki/mezuki rematch in tokichiro's castlewife>they both get staggered at the same time and right on top of each otherguhehehehe
>>729895236u are supposed to spam bombs and other faggot skills while ur ki regens, still retarded way to play
>>729895236fuck yeah ninja 24/7 here I come
>>729894839It's the same guy.
Only played Nioh 2 and enjoyed it. I think some other game came inbetween so I never finished it. Probably 60-70% of a first walkthrough. That's years ago. Should I do another run and finish this time before Nioh 3 arrives? Or will it burn me out?Or should I play Nioh 1 instead which I haven't yet?
>>729895467with different gear and literally everything else
>>729895570do you become a completely different person when you wear a different color shirt?
>>729895236>ninja has no stance switching or ki pulsingSo basically everyone except for the autists will be playing in ninja mode all the time? Most of the broader audience hated stance switching and ki pulsing/fluxing
>>729895539at this point I would restart a playthrough of 2 and just finish the first difficulty. Then play 1 if you get the feeling for it. Honestly, I don't know why people go straight to 2, sequential order is always better.
>>729895539yeah do a fresh save, but dont bother playing these next weapons; tonfa, kusarigama, splitstaff, and hatchets as they are all getting a big overhaul in nioh 3 and wont have stances what so everso stick with any other weapons, the ones that will be available in samurai style with all of their prior skills and mechanics
>>7298955392 kind of makes 1 feel redundant since it plays so similar the only reason to really play 1 is because you want to see wirriam's story. Didn't like wo long and how it felt like a watered down nioh plus I'm really tired of 3 kingdoms shit. Ronin looke somewhat interesting, but I've heard mixed things and mainlt it's not as good as nioh 2.
>>729895704u can literally beat the game in mid stance, if u get really hooked then u will start to enjoy the mechanics that the game offerseven without fluxing and ki pulsing game still plays as a better dark souls clone so its still a plus
>>7298957942kat is also ninja exclusive I think too in nioh 3
wait a min, if ninjutsu is in a different character, does this mean you can't item cancel ninpo anymore?
>>729895996nope, katana and dual katana will be preserved for samurai still, ninja just get its own version of those two but they dont play the same
>>729895236It serves the same purpose of resetting recovery and continuing attack strings so you use it the same way basically. I don't know about other weapons but it looks like talons have a skill that makes it restore ki at least. I know there's a common skill for enabling it to dispel yokai pools.
>>729896004it means game is ass to put it short
>>729895704>Most of the broader audience hated stance switching and ki pulsing/fluxingPure bullshit. If you don't like those you're not a fan of Nioh.
what is weird is that, what about all of those nioh 2 "ninja-like" agile moves like flying monkey for spear or swift step quick teleport on katana or literally anything of that naturethose are not very samurai-like are they? wheres the logic?
>>729896392they are crucial early game but in endgame scenario players are so used to these mechanics that they mostly use it to expand their movesetjust by abusing yokai skills u negate the entire concept of ki regen imobut yes early game its what some people find enjoying and makes them fall in love with the game with everything else alongside that
>>729896395The series has always had ninja stuff, it was never meant to be purely samurai-only weapons and play-styles. They're just turning it into it's own mode this time.
>>729896938thats not what im arguing, u could already have a ninja in prior games, its called abusing lowstance skills and ninjutsu to stay mobile and fast aka play as a ninja ON ANY WEAPON
>>729895907>Ronin looke somewhat interestingRonin is amazing if you like the setting. Sword combat is the best so far, no other game can compete. Shadows, Ghost of Yotei, etc. everything feels like a huge downgrade in comparison. But it also gets a bit repetitive after a while because it has that ubisoft open world formula.
>>729897142I don't really know what you're arguing, I just wanted to chime in and say that's it's not really weird that 1 and 2 had acrobatic and ninja stuff.
>>729896395because its cool
>>729890554There will probably be some obligatory platforming/jumping to scale things, requiring you to switch to Ninja.Equip hatchets. Now you have three axe.
>>729897595well yeah, good point, so why introduce a whole new style instead of just building upon this concept in low stance is beyond me...
