I dont know how you would do it on windows. maybe using Ryzen Master i suppose?

Im on cachyOS and i just had to run

echo "0" | sudo tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/boost

It disables boost till the next time you reboot. If you want to re-enable it in the same session then just change the 0 to a 1.

Im playing at 1440p, 9600X and 9070XT.

there's another option where you burst counter by pressing R2 + O and change style by R2 + X

2kat drifting counter works on yokai and humans and puts you behind the enemy to get some buffed back hits off, also does decent ki damage from the parry.

Shit land, good vassals, ruthless, exiled his father, killed his son, killed his daughter wife (she died of sadness later) because the alliance wasn't useful anymore, good commander, fought Kenshin a few times and end up at stalemate always, and he had this useful triple alliance with the Imagawa and Hojo, he started to rape the Imagawa when Oda killed Yoshimoto, the only ones who helped the Imagawa were the Hojo, best clan btw

It just doesn't look very good. However /v/ is full of poorfag tech illiterate retards.
They can't run the game at max settings and even if they could many peoples fuck themselves over with bad settings.
For exemple many people complain about the girls looking less cute than in Nioh 2 but they're just fucking retards who turn off every single post processing effects, which includes the advanced skin shader that if you turn it off every characters looks older than they should and just not the intended art. Also the sharpness slider is maxed by default for some fucking reason. Maybe everyone is retarded, even the devs.

I did Baba in a few tries and I felt bad about it. I didn't feel like I did well, I basically just brute forced her down with high burst damage and healing when needed.

I felt a lot better about most other bosses because I actually played well.

I just did her in ninja first time, couldn't work out the timings but she's not actually very aggressive.

Redid her in co-op and busted her ki bar with a single limitless which was fucking satisfying.

Co-op is gay though, I was hoping I'd be helping noobs through a boss but instead they're a 30 second level-grinding speedrun with 2 overleveled phantoms.

Samurai feels rough until you can put points into getting deflect, high stance, an low stance. Try ninja mode for the spear guy boss in the tutorial since it feels more complete with the dodge. Dodge his attacks or hit RB to dodge behind him and hit him a few times then wait for him to attack, repeat.

Dodging to the side avoided most of his attacks to be honest. I also used the big cart in the middle of the area to hide behind sometimes. As a whole he stayed with the water swords for the majority of it so maybe stack water defense? I was level 33. I played it defensively in samurai for all of it cos I hate ninja.

His little side jump which he always attacks after is the easiest to avoid then get 1-2 hits in. Like most bosses, it's just a matter of learning patterns.

the game is for people who played nioh 1 and 2

i reckon they'll fix it but it could be any time between release and the last DLC coming out. people like to say they never fix their games but nioh 2 was a mess at release. wo long and rotr were also rough but did get better over time, not perfect but playable. nioh 3 is unplayable if your CPU doesn't have enough headroom. unless you're willing to sacrifice any quality of experience by going with frame gen

Something interesting to note here:
When the level loads in after you die, but before you respawn, if you change your character's location with cheat engine, fall damage will be disabled because you are falling before you even spawn.

play aggressive. get up in the enemies face and time your dodges/deflects. also block even if you can't deflect. blocking is very useful.

>>732089990
still a thing but works differently, soul cores can double function as either a summon (using seals) or as a traditional omnyo (each yokai provides a different spell) depending on which slot you put one in, in both cases you get a fixed amount of uses between rests. Leveling magic lets you slot more soul cores in the spaces that give you classic omnyo spells

Game options then control type, like the last page. Also options to turn on auto pickup of drops, filter what rarity drops to auto vs manually pick up, options to auto offer items at the shrine when you pray/sell when you speak to the sudama/dismantle at the blacksmith, rarity filters for the above options, etc. I have it set to auto pickup all loot and auto offer white and yellow drops at the shrine for amrita and items. Lock what blue and purple drops I want to keep and dismantle the rest at the smith for parts.

Did him in 2kat and dodged his multihit attacks and used drifting counter parry on his single hit attacks to rapidly deplete his stamina. There is a crucible skill that I like a lot, think its beheading spin or strike? Its either a light after heavy or heavy after light skill, it comes out pretty quick and does a lot of ki damage for 2kat. The animations aren't that long so you don't get caught by his quick swipes as much as other weapons and can be more aggressive.

The only real advantage of deflection is that it stops humanoid enemies from continuing their combo. It's a big advantage for sure, but you can also just pressure them like you did in the past nioh titles.

Nioh was never a looker, but 3 at full max settings looks ok too. There shouldn't be noise if you turn down the damn sharpening and noise settings

That gpu should be enough for the game too. So it all comes down to your cpus and I think they'll try to fix it.

If you're doing challenge runs, Meta builds are relevant. But my first shitty playthrough was largely on a non-optimized build and everything took longer. But it was fun and I kept coming back to play the game. Play at your own pace. If you're having trouble, go learn the game systems. If it's like other games, Nioh 3 will lock them in the first NG, hence the “NG+0 builds are irrelevant” thing, because the game locks mechanics per playthrough.

Wo Long and SOP made deflect more relevant. Because it is easier, Wo Long is considered the “deflect heavy one,” while you can't go to later NG's in SOP without deflect. It's just that one is a heavy build and the other is less complex (Wo Long).

Bad, Ninjutsu is fun throughout because you can use it on the move and it restores charges by playing the game. Onmyo is still boring, limited shit where you always have that "maybe I'll need it around this corner so I'll save it" thought in the back of your head while playing.

>>732095669
I can't relate. Everything about 3 is sick for me. Hatchets are improved with the new Ninja stance and air moves. All of the Samurai weapons are greatly improved by Deflect, Frost Moon, and Arts Proficiency. Nioh 2 has been deprecated and I did NOT expect to feel that way.

I really wanted to go fists from the start but I'm just not feeling it, the new mapping feels awkward and I feel like unbroken is too much work to keep up at this point... Maybe it's because I'm used to having endgame ki levels in Nioh 2 when we got them added.

I gotta ask, does anyone actually enjoy the Diablo loot, and why? What is fun about grinding to get dozens/hundreds of pieces of garbage with stats like "-2.9 ki usage in low stance" until you finally get one of the few rolls that increases your damage by a massive amount? This shit literally ruins the NG+ modes for me.
>>
>>732089330
>>732098876
its parry works on yokai as well
>>
>>732099742
I enjoy diablo loot in diablo
in nioh it's just poorly done
>>
>>732099742
I enjoy it because NG+ onwards I start playing videos on my other monitor, or listen to podcasts.
I find it chill.
>>
>>732099742
having a good reason to rerun levels is fun, Nioh 2 truly feels like a Diablo-style ARPG once you git gud and steamroll everything while running through for loot
>>
>>732099742
I would enjoy it more if you had the ability to customize it more. Running the same boss that you one shot in 2 seconds 5 billion times in a row and sifting through a trillion different loot drops isn't fun. There is quite literally zero reason that you shouldn't be able to just craft weapons and armor with a choice of set bonus and every stat on it. Or at the very least something like the ability to reroll set bonuses and stats so you can keep your current gear and just recycle the loot into it to refine it. It's fucking boring as is. It's shit in NG cause of how little impact it has and it's shit in NG+++++ cause the RNG is way too fucking harsh. After 5 fucking games you'd think TN would wise up and realize nobody likes but they're retarded Japs so no surprise there.
>>
>>732099742
one of the reasons i love Nioh, if there was no gear grind it would grow stale so quick
>>
>>732099797
Earthly Flow has always worked on yokai and even projectiles, they buffed the timing so that it's now instant instead of delayed. Unless you're referring to a different one in which I'd have to ask which one you're talking about.
>>
>>732100060
>and sifting through a trillion different loot drops isn't fun.
much easier in Nioh 3 with the advanced loot filters, can make it so you only get exclamation marks on upgrades, so you only pick up certain + or level values, that you automatically get rid of certain rarity gear through offering, selling or disassembling etc. massive QoL improvement over Nioh 2 where it was much more basic
>>
>>732099742
I don't hate it. It is sometimes an obstacle to enjoying the game, but it's tolerable.
>>
>>732100325
I'm speaking more about end game where you're looking for specific stats on your gear or specific set bonuses. I don't hate it before then, though I don't like it either.

drifting counter, you parry the attack while doing good ki damage and you zip behind the enemy. you have iframes until you stop behind them, so like when bloodedge demon does his smash with aoe splash damage if you parry the smash you avoid the damage on the splash.

>>732099742
I'm not really fond of the overall way Nioh does it's diabloot, or diabloot in general, where 99.9999% is junk littering the floor that you disassemble/sell/drop and the other 0.0001% is you sifting through insignificant modifiers just for the sake of it having something useful for your playstyle.
I hate the concept of weapon rarity most of all, as it immediately devalues everything that isn't the highest rank.
Despite there being a blacksmith that gets an increasing number of tricks over the course of the game, it lacks the one thing I wish it would have. I'd want to incrementally upgrade my Level 1 Sword all the way to being a powerhouse weapon in super NG++++++ endgame via the Smith upgrading every facet of it. Instead, there's no real way to do that; you're simply picking up and discarding weapons every few minutes, then only working with Divine Ethereal gear that starts dropping like candy.

Poison has been pretty good in this series as bonus damage. And with the change to the way ninja tools refill it'll probably only get better.

It wont outright kill enemies, but when used together with your normal moveset it'll do well.

Now we're talking.

The game allows it. Unfortunately, the game doesn't allow one Style to be a dude and the other a girl.
Otherwise, I'd have made Samurai Takechiyo and his loyal Ninja retainer who is a girl.
So instead it's Samurai dude Takechiyo and his unnamed Ninja uncle who is one of Ieyasu's many kids.

Why they hate them so much?

I want wo long's saber and whip brought over, and their fist combo system.
>>
a Naginata would be neato
>>
>>732102802
True but how would you differentiate it from the spear?
>>
>>732102802
switchglaive is as close as you're getting
maybe spear will get some naginata skins
>>
>>732102852
they could do the whole cestus/talons thing i guess
>>
>>732102852
RotR did that just fine. It's a glaive, you retarded faggot.
>>
>>732102256
Nioh 2
RotR has a slop open world, assassin's creed quests, and the weapons all do the same damage basically and have invariable swing speed or power if feels like. The game lacks any real soul. It along with Wo Long and SoP were TN's attempt at seeing how much they could get away with by removing content compared to Nioh 2.
>>
>>732102852
Make it a ninja weapon, then give it a much more fluid fast sweeping moveset just like how they made Fists and Claws different.
Also buff spear.

...but enough about Nioh 3
>>
>>732102802
What the fuck is Switchglaive mid stance? You would roll your eyes if I asked for a dedicated Scythe weapon.
>>
>>732102910
It is, but Nioh already has a lot for slashing moves for the spear. In RotR the spear was more thrust heavy from what i remember to help make it more distinct from the polearm.
>>
>>732101380
2kat and cestus for samurai, 2kat and hatchets for ninja.

I've been with Nioh since the very first alpha and 2kat was always my favorite and then hatchets in 2. I also liked fists a lot in 2 but they came in the last expansion so I didn't get quite as much time with them as other weapons since I played everything on release. I might mix in some ninja 1kat, talons, and whatever else occasionally though. Really happy with ninja 2kat so far, it's a lot of fun and I love the aerial focus and ground parries.

>>732103036
I said ROTR can't you read? No wonder you think the way you do. Inferior brain.

>Fomo building watching anons talk about the game
I really didn't expect my PC to fail to run the game considering I run nioh 2 at 1440 120 fps on high

Fucking cpu bottlenecks man
>>
>>732103191
time to upgrade anon
>>
Any new parries that work against yokai?
>>
>>732103191
What your system specs? You might be able to make do by turning some stuff down and using FSR3 frame gen

I can't bring myself to make a female character. Women can't historically be shogun. Sorry trannybros, I tried.

there's gonna be some sort of twist anyway, wouldn't surprise me if our char doesn't end up as shogun

the funny thing is playing on high vs normal makes no difference since my GPU handles the game fine, it's all cpu strain

crazy I can play REmake4 at 4k or RDR2 at high settings but ugly ass nioh 3 is the first game to KO this old thing
>>
>>732099742
As soon as it no longer play like an action game with numbers flying, I just quit.
I finished the game, why keep going? The only modern game I've seen with an actually interesting NG+++ is armored core 6.. but the reason is obvious.
>>
>>732103191
What cpu?
I have a old ryzen 3700x and I run 120 fps at 1080p perfectly but I had to mess with settings

Odachi and Axe
Hatchets and Claws
Me stronk.

will use the 2nd axe to mix arts/stat stick/make use of imbues later on.

any advice for a ryzen 2600/1660tilet? the next generation of gaming is looking pretty dire for me

stop shilling this. it adds noticeable input lag
>>
loser cant enjoy a game without trannies living in his head, sad
>>
>>732103493
Your CPU and GPU seems to be better than mine (3060ti and R9 3900x), and I can run this game at very high settings at 1080p resolution. That likely means something else is fucking you up, either an in game setting, another process, or malware.
>>
>>732103191
Stop being retarded and use framegen. It will help with the cpu bottleneck.
>b-BUT-ACK
shut up and use it.
No it doesn't add input lag unless you're a poor mfs with a radeon card, then I'm not sure, because radeon has no reflex.
>>
>>732103696

>>732103665
I don't notice it, and it's better than running the game at sub 30fps.
>>
>>732103769
stop telling us you having tranny porn on your pc, kid
>>
>>732103754
NTA but I'm on nvidia/intel and framegen definitely adds delay

it also doesn't even address the core issues of CPU fuckery since framegen mostly lowers GPU strain, if you sprint in a big area full of stuff you'll still drop to 20 fps

A new Nioh game is upon us which means some old and new truths.

sounds like an iq issue

It add like 5ms, that's not noticeable at all. Your monitor running at the higher refresh could even offset it entirely.

I'm willing to bet your reaction speed is over 200 ms.

I'm gonna 4kat + sg and there's nothing you can do about it.

Got that one covered at least.
AoE feathers aren't onmyo, but do they count as long range nukes?
>>
>>732103810
>CPU fuckery since framegen mostly lowers GPU
You guys are fucking retards.
It halves the fucking cpu usage. So YES, it help, NO, it doesn't add input lag (because Reflex from the driver is automatically forced) and if you're still tanking perf it must be the Vram, or even the SDD

>>732103976
You're completely coping and if you blame 5ms give or take of lag that might not even manifest itself because of the reduced monitor lag at higher refresh, you're a complete scrub. I don't give a shit if you're too poor to play this game lmao sucks to be you.

Good until this, you're a tranny.
