You faggots seriously still care about metacritic scores in the year of our Lord 2026?
At best it could give you a hint of the exact opposite of the truth, like if journos suddenly start glazing a game you know it's gonna be shit and pozzed.
Other than that, game journos are literal subhumans and their opinion is worse than trash.

My main issue is the open field so far has been too easy but obviously the portion we have now is literally like lvls 1-10

but yeah it's clear the farming portion of the game will be replaying crucibles and hidden scrolls from the battle scroll and expedition menus which is basically traditionally nioh 1&2 structured.

I'm very cautious about this game. At the very lest I don't want to give Team Ninja any money anymore after they started with the censorship and woke crap post Nioh 2, but I'm even doubting if Nioh 3 is even worth the time and bandwidth of pirating it now.
The main things I'm afraid of, other than the aforementioned censorshit and wokeshit, is that the game could be dumbed down and homogenized for the niggercattle open world audience. Rise of the Ronin was exactly this, and I'm getting a lot of RotR vibes from the changes they decided to make in Nioh 3.
>>
>>732265126
You can set it to press R2 for the counter or hold R2 to swap, so you don't even need to worry about swapping back after countering.

You got two different flavors for that, either what >>732265184 said which you can change on options, or by changing the control type to the one more similar to Nioh 2, it puts the counter on R2+circle and the switch on R2+X

Great. I'll just set whatever changes back to basically be unpressable since the samurai rhythm combat isn't my jam

>>732265412
I personally don't blame anyone who missed something under that sea of options, so many shit scattered across like three different menus is a little bit on the overwhelming side, especially when half of it is for specific stuff that'll only matter in late game
>>
>>732264928
If they do end up pumping up difficulty, I really don't think they'll do so until strong to allow for broader appeal. That's clearly their intention with the open field, ninja style. A bit of a shame but since most of my time in nioh 2 is dots+ maybe it's not the worst thing if they really add some interesting new systems to successive dreams and make it hard.
>>
>>732265465
as long as there's more stuff like bloodedge demon i don't mind NG being a bit of a breeze, NG in Nioh 2 wasn't that hard either

you could also stick to samurai and learn how to properly fight mobs with deflect and ki exhaustion instead of dancing around in ninja style and tickling them, it will probably be a bit harder, but more rewarding

Do deflects do anything other than negate the ki drain you'd suffer if you blocked instead?

>>732265167
Well you can just try the demo but personally since they reuse a great deal of enemies the game is fundamentally way easier since you can jump. They also toned down the overall threat level of anything and everything as i guess they planned on you facing a much higher amount of enemies overall, but at least in the demo thats just not really happening. If your computer can run it just give the demo a go but i dont really see what this improves from 2 honestly.

don't know about other weapons but duals swords has deflecting cut to follow up deflects with an attack that builds a decent amount of martial arts gauge, also repositions you to their side

>>732265537
I hope the bloodedge demon is a sign of things to come. There is an attack he does in fire mode that is a wave you have to jump over.
More enemies need ways to force you to the air and counter you in the air.
>>
>>732265592
It builds your white glow attack meter and a ton of gear has "X proc on deflect" you could literally have that on all your gear and just full heal yourself every time you deflect.
>>
>>732265715
saw a boss on the jap dev stream yesterday that had a move like that, my guess is there are several bosses and mobs that have skills that you can/should jump over

>>732265753
yeah with the passive skills and passives on gear i think deflect builds are gonna be #1

>>732265954
have you considered deflect on a confused enemy though?
>>
>>732265592
Deflect forces humanoid enemies to drop their combo which is actually a HUGE buff to the player because of how fast they can burst you down or ki break you.
Otherwise, it's just there to give more power to C agility builds and enable weapon specific gimmicks, like the fact Severing Spin having a deflect guard point now.

Does that work as a deflect as far as additional effects from gear is concerned? 'cause in practice both it and Frost Moon: Humanity makes the deflect sound but eats out your ki

Ok so after watching a few peoples clips for bloodedge demon I realized they always scale to your lvl that's why they always will hit you hard as fuck.

They also have the name of players steam ID so a player dying in the world can cause them to spawn

I think this is still technically a deflect but the ki deduction is intentional since frost moon is op as is

>>
>>732266374
Both ninja 1kat and 2kat are completely different weapons compared to their samurai iterations and both of them have a lot of aerial potential
Claws complement fists nicely, it's like a fourth stance with emphasis on mobility
Tonfa lost literally nothing of value and kept its main gimmick
Hatchets can't fit together both boulder breaker and greased lighting but otherwise fulfil literally the same function as before and get access to their core movement techniques way faster
Splitstaff is the only weapon that lost a lot from the transition and it's unfortunate

Nah. I'm not poor. But I don't waste money. I have a 4070, which should be enough for most games. Especially ones like Nioh 3 that looks this bad. But that's not even the issue. The issue is that the grainy texture makes everything look like shit. If it was something that tanked performance, but made things look better, I could understand it. But this has no upsides at all.

I have a 4070 too and the game runs fine. I'm running it at 4k DLSS at 50% so it's 1080p. I get about 70-80fps on mostly high-ultra settings.
It's not running at 120 like Nioh 2, but that game is a 6 year old PS4 game.
Honestly, with preset L I could run it at 25% and it still looks pretty good. And with some lower settings, I can get it to 120.
Without framegen, of course.

They're hidden skills on special weapons dropped in Crucibles called Crucible weapons, and once you max on familiarity with the weapon you can assign it permanently without having the Crucible weapon equipped, like you learn it permanently. They're basically hidden weapon skills you can learn, and each one has their own unique ones.

1kat gets an absolutely kino broken one called Severing Spin and it drops pretty fast.

Can you guess who I tried making? And who turned out absolutely alien-looking? You really can't make anime characters in this game because they look too realistic. Why do 98% of male characters look ugly as sin in the game? It's like women get to look pretty and men get to look stupid.

The ONLY decent/cool looking male preset I've found is the default one. If you just use the default face/eyes and maybe change the hairstyle; your character will look good. If you change the face/eye structure even a tiny bit...it'll look like an alien. The hairstyles are all crap.

mid 70s to mid 80s. I expect 81 initially and probably settles around 78-79 after full release and a couple weeks.
Lines up about with my feelings on it. Fun, but only just barely above average. If there weren't complete garbage like code vein 2 to compare it to being released alongside it, I don't think nioh 3 would be seen as so decent.

Correction: mine looked fantastic before I uninstalled the demo for running poorly on my PC due to my shitty CPU
If I still had the game installed I'd share some tips, it's pretty easy to make a good looking male character if you're going with the direction the game wants to go, which is more grounded/realistic
>>732268057
To adapt anime characters to a game like this you have to make compromises, but only so far as the character still looks good with your eyes open and look perfectly like the character you're trying to make with your eyes narrowed or from afar
>>
>>732268541
He looks decent on the character creation screen, but once in-game...he looks like a trans alien bug. For some reason this is an issue most people have been experiencing. The character looks great in the creator, but once you see it in-game and zooming close up on the face...it looks much worse.

Not the case with Nioh though, there's literally no complex input in this game. All the complexity comes from executing each step in the correct form, not having comically difficult input execution.
Now as it comes to fighting games, I like it when harder inputs serve to gatekeep people from using certain strong moves, but otherwise it's a very superficial mechanic

Posting this again for Nioh 3 demo
For anyone having high CPU usage and high temps just disable turbo. There is 0 performance loss. I have tested this on a 9600X and I've dropped from 85C to 49-51C.

run this in powershell admin:

powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7 -ATTRIBUTES_HIDE (if this returns invalid parameter then use the one below)

powercfg -attributes SUB_PROCESSOR be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7 -ATTRIB_HIDE

(These commands when run correctly will not return anything. It'll just unhide a setting in the power plan menu.)
Go to "Edit Power Plan", then "Change advanced power settings" and under "Processor Power Management" set "Processor performance boost mode" to Disabled. You can just re-enable it when you require or you could set this on a different power plan so that you dont have to keep editing this setting, rather just change the power plan when you do want cpu boost.

On Linux just use:

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

this will disable boosting until restart. You can create a systemd service to do this on boot if you'd prefer. You can re-enable it by changing the 0 to a 1 and running the command again.

Imagine playing Dark Souls 1, but every humanoid enemy has a visible stamina bar that goes down every time they attack and regenerates just like your stamina does.
Monsters have a visible poise bar that allows you to stunlock them with your attacks upon depletion and score a critical hit if you manage to deplete another poise bar they have while stunlocked.
Being out of stamina and getting hit leads to a poise break, which allows enemies to exploit it very successfully, leading to you being left with 20% of your HP or death, though the same rules apply to them.
There's an active reload mechanic on your melee: if you press another button in time, you'll regenerate your stamina at a faster rate and allow to score more attacks or to not be poisebroken later on.
There are three stances for every weapon which allow you to trade higher attack power for higher stamina costs and slower rolls, use low attack power for quick and easy attacks that allow you to escape or a stance that allows you keep balance.
There are combat arts you unlock over time, you can do them at any time, but they still cost stamina.
There is a special bar that allows you to gain temporary invincibility and greatly increased attack power, though it is seldom used and goes down when you get attacked, so it's better to not mash it. Instead of an interconnected world, there are smaller, linear locations with doors being locked and unlocked later.
Blocking is available to any player at any time and completely negates damage, though at the cost of your stamina.
Ranged weapons are actually useful and can clear the field while simply approaching the enemy without a single melee hit.
Seeing the enemy weak spots is much easier and you're sort of expected to break them to deal increased poise damage.
Consumables are actually useful and some of them can be prepared at bonfires, though the very best are rare and better saved for special occasions.

I'm no combo mastermind either but smashed through both Nioh 1 (Kusarigama/dual swords) and 2 (fists mainly) with not much difficulty. Stance switching and fluxing really isn't difficult.
You sound like a sub 90 IQ souls brainlet.
Besides, you can play through without ever stance switching if you just equip an ooga booga axe and go high stance or make a magic build and cheese everything. I wouldn't recommend it but it's possible.

It's funny we get one of Nobunaga's spirit guardians right off the bat, and it isn't even that good except for DoT playstyle I figured we'll be fighting/seeing Nobunaga again in this game, probably be a re-used asset or something, but it'd be neat if they somewhat changed his design or gave him new spirit guardians.

I'm excited to see what they do with the Shinsengumi because it wouldn't make sense for them not to appear since we go to the Bakumatsu period. I hope their armor drops as a unique set. I also expect this to be the Nioh game with the MOST content because it's spanned out between three different periods, so you can cram tons of content into that. I'm expecting even more than Nioh 2 had.

If I do main a Ninja weapon it'll probably be that just for that parry alone. It's the ONLY parry I've seen/know of that can work on bigger yokai and not just the small ones.

I'm using an OLED monitor and it looks pretty good, but I do think the blacks are a bit...well too black/dark. I can change the mode on my monitor, but then it'll look too bright. I'd rather have realistic darkness than "lit-up" darkness. It's more immersive, but it does make it harder to see things. It's really something I'd see using for a horror game like Resident Evil or something.

>Nioh 3 is simply a good game because it's more of Nioh and Nioh 2 with a few extra dashes of different playstyles, a few new enemies, bigger environments, and some tiny gameplay tweaks. Those of you just looking for more. Nioh/Rise of the Ronin/Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty are getting exactly that. Everyone else will forget this even came out by the time Game of the Year awards start in December, because I'll exaggerate a bit by saying this is what AI would have made if you asked it to develop Nioh 3.

What even is this? The guy is making random AI comparisons and talking about the game awards? How are these people even allowed to review shit I'll never know

> Nioh 3 doesn't reinvent the series, and it does not need to. Instead, Team Ninja refines nearly every system the franchise has built over the years and layers meaningful additions on top. The dual combat styles, interconnected world, improved co-op structure, and player-friendly respec system all feel like natural evolutions rather than gimmicks.
> This is iterative design at its finest.
Exactly my impressions after the review. This isn't RotR 2 (i wish they would try it again in another era), this isn't Elden Sengoku, this is Nioh 3. I wanted things to get better and they got better.

nta but the ninja/samurai split is just weapon swapping with extra steps. that makes it even slower and less optimal.
>>
>>732272549
You still get dual weapons on both styles, it's a couple more hours in. Your opinion is bad and likely informed by your own lack of understanding of how to use the styles. It's "but I don't want to switch stances or ki pulse!!!"-tier moaning.

Oh man I fucked up and now my Samurai appearance looks like a preset while Ninja is the one I use

go back to the ninja customization and use the main setting to match appearance there.
>>
>>732272706
Go to your ninja screen and disable the option for separate appearances, your samurai will look like your ninja
>>
>>732272706
You can. If you want to reset Samurai to Ninja, go edit your looks. Ensure Ninja is active. Check the "same looks for both styles" box or whatever. Uncheck it, swap to Samurai, then customize from a shared base.

samurai/ninja isnt JUST a means to change your weapons, its also a means to allow the player to play both light and heavy style without the constant need to reset points and change armor whenever they feel like playing a different style as was the case in the previous games.
the change mechanic in Nioh 3 is genial and a true upgrade and improvement to the series.

Basically it's what we expected, gonna replay the entire open world and shit with the extras that's always been there, new gear rarity tweaked enemies and shit, one specific part he mentions is a Gozuki that's just casually walking around the roads in the first open field so bosses and minibosses will be appearing in parts they weren't in before, there's also a new mechanic of lowering your level to get better drops and sudama blessings will be a thing to get specific drops you want

That doesn't seems right to me. I spend 20+ hours on the demo alone and barely managed to find all the stuff in the area, I nearly missed some critical skills in not so obvious hidden paths.

Yes.
We'll have plenty of coomers thanks to the CC and all the waifu characters/yokai, and some honest retards that're just new to the game, but we will get far less willful retards and doomers, cause those faggots are /v/ staples at this point. They'll find other /v/ threads to shitpost in.

It's not that good. It becomes drawn out and repetitive because of the dual world shit (whatever it's called, already forgot) and enemies that feel copy pasted like half into the game.

Some of the areas i've seen in reviews are fucking gorgeous, some sort of a mountain area with cliffs, clouds and trees in particular
>>
>>732275062
Interesting, that means leakanon who said that there were only 3 open field areas was not telling the truth or had incomplete information from somewhere else.

DLC one is obviously going to be Way of the Nioh kek

Honestly, I've always liked the graphics and art-direction of Nioh. People shit on the way Nioh looks often, but I think it looks good. It's not the highest fidelity most graphically impressive game at all, but it has its own distinct style that instantly lets you know "this is Nioh!"
>>
>>732275315
You had to finish Nioh 2 on NG+4 to get everything done, so it's a given

Since there will only be two DLCs this time around I wonder if they will add more than one difficulty in one of them.

What are the 3rd and 4th difficulty going to be? What things are above the Shogun?
>>
>>732275331
I thought we met that Hanzo is 2 tho?
>>
>>732275098
in 2 it's mostly early Nobunaga years when he shows up and he's younger so they just used the same model as Jr., the game mostly avoids Tokugawa accomplishments since the focus is on Hideyoshi so we don't see Hanzo at this age again.
when he meets William he's dead and a frog.
This is like 27 years before Sekigahara

How well do the sliders from Wo Long / Nioh 2 translate over to this game? I only just heard that there was a demo out, and I'm thinking about trying to recreate my character from the previous games.

It's not great, the engine is changed so it's fucked up almost all existing creations when attempted to recreate. If you have a brain you can adjust it to make it better, but it'll never look exactly the same

This isn't Elden Ring, you tard. You don't "wander forever" because areas in LoP are actually well designed and not just an open field of nothingness. You know, like how classic action games used to be since the NES days, like the best parts in Demon's souls and DS1 used to be. Tasteless moron.
>>
>>732276007
Dang. Looks like I'll be spending a couple of hours in the character creator trying to fiddle around with values to make it look the same.

I don't know dodging has never been particularly powerful outside of those few skillsets that give you an extra invincibility state while being hit dodging in lowstance
ninja mode definitely has good dodging
I still think it's way more useful to simply dash out of the hitzone, there's no shortage of approach options.

There's nothing else to compare to. What then are the examples of good level design that aren't "corridors" in a Soulslike? Lost Izalith? Shrine of Amana? The shit flat swamps in DS3? You cunts are aggressively fucking stupid when it comes to whining about LoP.

You actually don't know what I was talking about, do you? You never played and don't know shit about other Souls games, so you're not aware of the fact I mentioned three other games besides ER in that post.

What are the examples of good level design? Still waiting.

Okita Soji is a boss and I've seen Shinsengumi grunts around so there is no way we won't get their set. I'm never taking it off once I get it.
