>>732368226You will never be a From Software game.You imitate the shape without understanding the purpose. You pile mechanics on top of mechanics, mistaking excess for depth and complexity for vision. Your worlds are stitched together like levels on a checklist, not places meant to linger in the mind. Nothing breathes. Nothing trusts the player. Everything is explained, categorized, and reduced to numbers.You compensate constantly. More loot, more stats, more menus, more systems, anything to distract from the absence of atmosphere. Where they create tension through emptiness, you fill space with clutter. Where they allow ambiguity, you smother it with tutorials and optimization paths.You are not cruel in the way that teaches, only exhausting in the way that repeats. Your difficulty is loud, mechanical, transactional. Learn pattern, execute, collect reward, move on. No unease, no awe, no lingering dread, just efficiency masquerading as challenge.Players will compare you endlessly, because comparison is all you offer. You exist in the shadow you chase, defined entirely by what you are not. You borrow the language, the posture, the reputation, but none of the restraint or confidence that made it matter.You are not misunderstood. You are understood perfectly, and found wanting.

>>732368226I can't wait until the touristniggers fuck off onto the next current thing so we can have slow, cozy nioh threads again
Where can I buy the cheapest copy of Nioh 3 right now?
>fromtard schizo going max meltdown for the past day of threads after the reviews droppedkekkypow
>>732368313well it's not much but I like red hair
is uesugi kenshin in the game or nah
>>732368547Nioh 2 release threads were so fucking kinoHopefully the DLC threads for 3 will be much better
>waiting for my loaded keyBut I suppose it doesn't matter much, I've got some shopping to do anyway. I'd still download when I'm out anyway.
>>732368564Probably gameseal. I got the deluxe pack with pre-order bonuses for 80 bucks
Is there any secret Living Artifact tech?
Does RotR have levels or is it purely open world?
>>732368226What? It’s basically SoP’s dual job system.
>HDR implementation is trash againWhy do so many devs have trouble with this?
>>732368269>>732368332have these been debunked yet?
>>732368727it does have levels, but they're a lot more linear than nioh levels, but still fun.the addition of sneaking and stealth kills was surprising one of my favorite parts of the game.
>>732368226
Looking at the other maps after the demo, I only wish they were bigger and more open like Ronin or Elden Ring. It would have been cool to have a mount too.
>>732368870no, Asmon is still doing reacts
How long until someone games out another KINO endless LA build? The devs never got over how buckbroken the LW builds made them
>>732369007just eat some spirit stones?
The most powerful being in the Nioh universe looks like this?!?!?!?
>>732368332Nioh doesn't play like a fromsoft game because it isn't a fromsoft game. I get that is hard for (((some people))) to understand but its the truth.
>>732368657Probably not in the base game. He wasn't involved in any major conflicts in 1572, so he's likely not going get anything but a passing mention.
It's over

>scampuss soulDid they nerf the shit out of it? In 2, watching 3 of those little guys destroy every boss' ki was fun.

>game is woke
I used both jobs about equally, like Jack would
>>732368450Probably because the game takes place in Japan in a violent period of history.
asmon will rage quit at the second boss
>>732369117>shingen gets a huge glowup, yet team ninja continues to pretend his greatest rival doesn't existfucking pathetic, i tell you
>>732368332Sounds like classic Arcade and NES game design.
>>732369332he won't even start before we get it on ps5
>>732368332didn't read a word :)
>>732369082It's not the same.
>>732369349One of the DLCs might involve the Battle of Tedorigawa, but of course that takes place against Nobunaga in 1577 as Shingen would have died in 1573.
>>732368701Did you get a key right away or do they send them when the game actually releases?
>>732368658RotR PC release threads were great as well. I guess it's just cause all the media attention nioh 3 is getting right now. by the time the DLC comes around, no-one aside from nioh fans will give a shit, so we'll have good threads again then.>>732369294I respect your strength and trust you implicitly
>>732368226Real niohggas are mixing sam and ninj together.I'm personally using my ninja mode for its ridica-mobility to close distances instantly, position myself, and open enemies up for tanky samurai combos all more efficiently.There's even a meter for your arts gauge in ninja mode, and meters for your ninjutsus in sam mode. Plus attacking in sam mode will recover your ninjutsu meters, and attacking in ninj mode will fill up your arts guage.
That looks familiar
>>732369317kys yasuda you can make the warring states period not look like boring shit in every game!
>>732368313
>>732369650ah, i doubt it. but a guy can dream. i'd fucking cream my pantsu if the dlc covered the uesugi, especially since so much of the sengoku jidai has already been covered across the 3 nioh games
>>732369718I was mixing samurai and ninja together but now I just treat it as shuriken mode for when the wasps show up.It just wasn't worth the trouble for me. Deflect is way better than dodge and deflect just breaks the combat wide open.My last two days of the demo have been literally nothing but deflect and sword meditation.I understand that there are "style points" in playing another way but I want the game to present a challenge that requires me to use the full toolkit if that is what is required to win, or spam one overpowered move if that is what is required to win. Anything else feels dishonest.As far as mobility, I seem to move faster than anyone else in multiplayer just spamming the slide tackle.
>shazamtrannies rn on the left
>>732369420>Sounds like classic Arcade and NES game design.Everything about Nioh's maximalist design is actually straight out of the gacha design rulebook. I'm shocked they havent done a free2play version yet honestly.

(Repost since I did it too late last thread)So why does everyone love 1kat so much? Didn’t think much of it at first and fell into other weps when I played. Decided to give it a whirl and booted up a new guy just for it. Seems like it has tons of parries and shit both those don’t even seem worth it until much later? Like I was fighting the Green something samurai human boss and I party his attack for one free weak attack and that’s it. Otherwise I did no damage, no ki damage, and it took me a few tries to wear him down. Deflecting his stupid judgment cut insta exhausted him and that’s how I ended up killing him. Meanwhile, I killed that guy in five seconds using Odachi on my first dude. Im not sure I see the hype and I didn’t see any skill that really stood out to me.
>>732368901this ugly retard
>>732370073Fair enough. You play more practically.Personally I am looking to style beast with as many moves as I can manage, so I'm really excited for the full game to come out so we can have access to 4 entirely different movesets all swappable on the fly.
>>732370334scampuss, for the luck>inb4 it's uselessyou've got to believe
>>732370397>why do people want to use a katana in a game about samurai and ninjas
>>732370272that's me that's my webbum
>>732370073You could at least use the ninjutsu to dump elemental damage on the bosses. Blustered, Electrified, Confused, then swap to Samurai and you should be doing shitloads of more damage for a while, and easier.
>>732370501I understand it’s thematic and appealing but I see people saying how broken and strong it is. I haven’t felt like it was very powerful so far.
>Kinda didn't feel like running coop as I am a shitter and lv 20 (de-leveled on purpose)>notice you can run coop alone?!>the levels are literally harder and more fun with more enemies aroundWhy the fuck didn't you cunts tell meNow I'm thinking that I shouldn't pirate the game or I'll miss out on these better levels.
im using spear and kusari gama
>>732370073>Deflect is way better than dodge and deflect just breaks the combat wide open.I felt like Doomguy fighting off the forces of hell when I was trying to make this point to n*nja players a couple of threads back. I never liked the parrying in Sekiro because it solves the game, and while I like it more here, I still don't think it's good game design.
>>732370515i used to see this same exact hiddy quite often in co-op and could never understand why
what weapons seem strong to you guys? I just don't mesh with dual axe so I'm looking for something else, maybe even just bog standard katana
>>732370676parry kino is fun and good game design
>>732370380
>>73237039715 frame invincible low stance dash
Ninja Mode is such a shitty clumsy addition that doesn't intergrate into Nioh's existing design well at all, what were they thinking?
>>732370334sudama just for the life drain on lighting passive >>732370397your post doesn't really make it clear what nioh you're playing, but most people like in general because it has really flashly and strong active skills and every flows together really well.also the parries absolutely fuck human enemies, for example: using haze to parry a human guarantees the haze follow up attack, a fully charged iai quickdraw when they fall to the ground and an attack as they're getting up (flowing shadow, severing spin, high stance heavy). then for yokai it has a bunch of great ki depletion options (kick, shadow sword, sword ki)
>>73237078715 out of 30? 60? 120?
>>732370676i love parries and deflects. they're just fun "no, fuck you" moves. like the old karate master guy who just smacks away the young arrogant punk's hand and knocks him off balance
>>73237082560 frames
>>732370821>your post doesn't really make it clear what nioh you're playing,yes it does. he's clearly talking about 3 because he mentioned the green samurai guy. did you not play the demo, anon?
The crucible area was shit
I can't find the last collectible treasure chest or w/e in the Crucible
i ate too many chips while playing the demo last night and my mouth is all torn up :(
>>732370563You're right, I should. In nioh 2 I tried getting into confusion but it was always more trouble than it was worth if I couldn't do it "trivially" (like lategame getting an elemental weapon got you half there and I think the other half I got with yokai abilities), I remember one element decaying before the other element could apply when trying to do it just spamming ninjutsu, but I haven't tried it in nioh 3. Though having even more damage sounds kind of obscene.>>732370676Yeah, it sounds just "good" on paper, iframes aren't unique in nioh, but its that you can have iframes without having to move at all that makes a difference. I find that yokai are a lot easier to manage if you can stay smack bang in front of them since the timings all get much simpler, and AI becomes much more predictable.
>>732370956Where do I find this?
>>732370934i'm sorry, but i tune tf out when i see ippon spam. that's just cheap af
>>732370971happens to the best of us buddy
Just got back from the gym, better prepare yourselves so you don't get a heart attack.
>>732370956>>732371019The last one for me was that: after the long neck one, in that building that then leads to the path to the shrine, you can sort of go behind that building then jump up some platforms to get on top of the building you passed through earlier (after the jailer oni that blows some gaki, there was a building with red wraiths, it's on top of that).
>>732371019crucible
why is code vein 2 more popular?
DLC NAMES GOT LEAKED BY PS STORE
>>732371113cause it has an identity unlike this bootleg From sloppa
>>732370397In nioh 3 specifically>Swift step (heavy)This thing is bonkers good. Really solid damage, super fast, good at avoiding damage, and only requires doing a low stance light so requires practically no setup.>Severing spinSomeone had to be off their rocker to think adding a huge aoe with huge damage and built in deflect was a good idea>Sword of meditationYes, I would like ALL of your damage pleaseHonorable mention for the anime as fuck parry.My takeaway is that its all in the skills. The baseline moveset is pretty mediocre and morning moon is the only standout, which is just reliable damage thats good at de-horning.
>>732371167Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>732371029It's pretty basic katana work otherwise. Overkills on the dodge spam too.Kinda sloppy webm, desu.
>>732371212I don't remember the name but there is also a good "hold Y" on low stance.
Meta?
>>732370821I guess I just need more Samurai points. Shame I’m limited in the demo I can’t believe they changed that shit. I understand the strength of parries against humans but generally I always found them to be extremely non-threatening besides the bosses. Hopefully this game adds more threatening human dudes.
>>732371374Nightreign
>>732370947I wouldn't call it shit but I was surprised how obscure the pathing was, very PS2 game like. I would have thought by now they'd make these areas bigger but with more branching paths but nope, still winding bullshit where you have to find ambiguous pathing up a broken building ect ect
>>732371374Yeah I should have mentioned night rain, its very good, particularly before you get crucible skills. I don't use it that much anymore but thats only because the other stuff I listed is just so good.
>>732369294That's not Jack
>>7323713852 of those (severing spin and sword of meditation) are crucible arts, so they don't require samurai skills, but require getting a weapon with them and grinding familiarity.
>>732371167Hell Rising could be anything, Bloody Insurrection is likely the Boshin War since that marked the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the end of the Edo Period.
>>732370676It's not realistic to parry literally everything, deflect beaking the combat is simply not a thing, unless you learned an enemy so perfectly you'll get it everytime but at that point a parry wouldn't make any difference vs a dodge, and if anything ninja timed dodge can make you move behind ennemies and fuck them up with big dick damage that samurai doesn't get to enjoy from behind. Parries are only bad gamedesign when they're either your only real defensive option or too easy to get/mash with a huge windows, it's especially garbage when all of thise applies like in Doom TDA.In sekiro's case it was bad too, because parrying directly led to a free kill or stab (on most bosses was effectively 50% damage, just parry and mash R1 until the game does damage for you), which is not a thing in Nioh 3.Nioh 3's deflect simply doesn't quality as parry slop as it does none of these things.
>>732371212Interesting. I’ll give these skills a shot. I’m probably just too early to see the power of the weapon with my limited points. Doesn’t help I had to spend the first 5 in the base samurai tree. I was probably just spoiled because Odachi felt very strong pretty much right out of the box.
>>732371385Honestly, it's nice styling on unremarkable bandits after going through the crucible or something and fighting nonstop teleporting, shapeshifting, fire breathing yokai.
>>732371212The 3-hit combo off your heavy attack is godsend for humanoids and smaller foes. Generally i think 1kat's base moveset is fanastic, it has everything, from gap closers to pokes. Hell you start off with a Stinger and it only gets better after you unlock frost moon moves to reposition in low stance to follow it up with a stinger.
>>732370787mean while axe just spams high stance heavy and kills it 10x faster
>find an old clip of me being flabbergasted at a nioh 1 co-op experience>realize that this armor is better than any armor in nioh 2will it be in 3
Ninja gaiden is for giga chads, while Nioh is for web cucks. This is evident by people copying NG characters into their open world slop. Ninja Garden will NEVER be open world slop.
>>732369689You get it when it releases and theres a cgance it'll have already been redeemed.
>>732371485I see. I haven’t gotten to the crucible yet so I didn’t have the chance to grab any. I’ll check them out.
>>732371673nioh is more popular than ninja gayden

>>732371673NG is dead anon, let it go
>>732370676ah the "parry is an offensive move" schizo is back again!Tell me anon, how would you feel if you didnt try to make this retarded point a couple threads back? kek
>>732371385honestly, night rain and heaven flash lightning is all you need to make sword feel good in the demo
>>732370787>no confusion and water appliedbro is washed, he ain't clearing Underworld Depths 30 nigga
>>732370956They're all marked on the map, are you for real.
>>732371673Yeah but people want to pretend to be hardcode gamer with none of the actual effort to beat an actually hard game.I hate soulslike but at least Nioh feels like a proper action game in general.nothing wrong with being a weeb when the alternative is westcuckry.
I didn't get very far in the demo. Does Ninja have stances or something else to make combat more interesting?
>almost 7 hours leftI hope you got your caffeinated drinks ready, east coast anons
>>732372076>people want to pretend to be hardcode gamer with none of the actual effort to beat an actually hard game.That's core fanbase of ninja gaiden these days.
>>732372062This last one just isn't and the way to get there wasn't obvious
>>732372095man im 31 years old i cant do the midnight release shit anymore. ill just play tomorrow.
why am I supposed to do with this? it feels like a wast to just throw it all away, but I don't want to be overleveled...>>732372095>comes out at 5am in GMT my sleep schedule was fucked anyway
>>732371952Grinded all the crucible fists.I just need the points for dreadslayer and all the defensive drop shit, then I'll basically have my full old moveset from nioh 2 back, plus all the new air moves and talon moves.Can't wait to get hyper armor limitless.
>>732372201Throw that shit away anon. I'm around level 55 and will do the same
Which skill is he using to zap through the enemy?Timestampedhttps://youtu.be/ZxnYbpedD-8?si=dg5GjXQD_PDASfqn&t=25
>>732372080Ninja replaced stances with a ninja tool system. Much of your combat moves is now going to be done through directional inputs instead, somewhat similar to fighting games.
I hate how garbage movement feels in Nioh
farrrrk just let me play the game ya faggots! reeeee
Ninja stance was a fucking mistakeWhy cripple like half the weapons in the game for no reason?
>>732372080Air combat, make sure you get the aerial stuff for your ninja weapon.
>>732372172I'm 36 myself, and I can usually at least hold out until 2 AM
>>732370676Honestly I have to agree. Why would you ever dodge or block and lose ki when you can deflect and gain ki. It's too busted imo.
>>732372201Levels don't matter hardly as much as gear anyway.Level away imo.
>>732372297What's the deal with the weapon variety? Only 4 weapons for Samurai and 4 for Ninja, and there's overlap?
>>732368226What is this ninja mode meme?as a samurai only GAWD I feel like samurai is 10x stronger>tankier>hits harder>has superior combos and crucible abilities
>>732372291can't remember what it's called, but its one of the first skills on the bottom portion of the ninja tree>>732372297control scheme b puts active skills back on r1+square/r1+triangle ect. should be the default control scheme honestly
>>732372291bloodedge demons scale to your lvl so the lower lvl you are the easier they are.Which is why higher level players get chunked hard, we're fighting a lvl 60 version with lvl 20 gear.
Kurama Blade Dance seems cool, but I trigger it accidentally too often and it's very long and I end up punished. Any better LB + X options for 1kat?
>>732372390Shared weapons have different animations, and of course Ninja Mode attacks faster and has more ranged capabilities in exchange for being weaker than the Samurai.
>>732372130Last time I checked, NG doesn't have so many copes that let's you beat the games for free:>summons>leveling, grinding, gearing>coop, let me solo her>broken builds>broken magic>exploiting elemental weaknesses and other rpg systems that are not skillI love everything team ninja is doing but I'll never take this genre seriously, people beating these games means nothing compared to beating NG master ninja/umn or stuff like god hand on DIE.I have more respect for people beating AC Last Raven than any of the fromsoft's soulshit
>>732372172>>732372361do you both look like this?
>>732372531I'm mostly fighting the fps, but I can't upgrade with RAM costing $500

>>732372576Ninja gaiden is solved by holding Y
>>732368313here is a free 2b-like cutie
Pre order shit is just stuff you can eventually farm in the game right?
>>732372667Even for NG2 that's not true
>>732372390TN is full of lazy hacks
>>732372638ripit's sad because a year ago you would have had enough for the best ram on the market and still had plenty of money left over
>>732372576love harsh looking hime cut women
>>732372297Nah, you can change it in the settings so the direction shit's mainly button presses again.But stuff like opportunist will still have a directional input, despite having none in nioh 2.Btw it's weird it has such a unique input now, but you can't put it on high or low stance. Must have something to do with their obsession with mid stance being the "parry" stance.
>Samurai with a bow>Ninja with a fuckoff cannon
>>732372687lol nocant make retards spend 80 bucks without fomo
>>732372687the hellfire stuff? probably not but they give it out anyway with the complete editionsame happened with the daemon armor in nioh 2
>>732372703Come on anon, we've all played them
Lobos is incorporating light AND (occasionally) heavy attacks in his mid stance odachi gameplay. SoulsGODS are just built diff
>>732372576no one cares lil ladninja gaiden on nes is 10x harder than your nu ninja gaiden anyway
>>732372397More mobility, and ninjutsus are just handy as hell.
>>732372576>UTs through your entire series
I really hope we get more ninjutsu slots in the DLC at least.
>>732371626That armor looks like Justice Ministry Armor which is in nioh 2 only difference is the color is purple
>>732369718This is what I have been doing too. Picked two opposite weapons purposefully - Odachi and Hatchets. Throw and close the distance, hit a nice hatchet combo, swap to sam while close, block and keep hitting, and when I want to back off or the boss makes distance, back to ninja. Really fun once I got the hang of it with the Bloodedge demon. That boss has equal amounts of close range combos and "get off me" AoE moves, so swapping made perfect sense. I hope this is a sign of what the rest of the game has in store. I will bitch about the forward+triangle being a bit iffy at times. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Most likely a "me" issue and not the game, but still frustrating with how often I heavy attack instead of use the skill. Also RIP Kusarigama my beloved. It feels hollow now. Too many moves locked to the same input, and I was pretty reliant on all 3 stances various moves, like low dodge light and, ofc, high heavy.
>>732372920I hope we get more guardian spirit slots. 2x2 after 3x2 core slots in 2 is tragic
>>732372961>opposite weapons>virtually same scaling
Nude mods when?
>>732371085>>732371750Ty Anons
nice
>>732368313someone try to make her in Nioh 3 pls
>>732371673If Ninja Gaiden ever wants to sell again, it probably will have to open world, or at least have "open zones".Honestly I wouldn't mind TN taking a crack at it after Nioh 3.
>>732372853so is ohmyo magic which is godtier on samuraiweakness + lifeseal the boss then steel talisman + carnage and you can face tank everything while dishing out 10k+ dmg hits.

>>732373045NG will never sell again. New audiences don't care, old fans are too busy fighting about whether any of the games are good to begin with. The community is outright schizo.

>>732373235Slow down buddy, light INTO strong? Nah, it's light string or a single heavy. And it works. He'll beat the game effortlessly.
>>732373305ninja is cool though one of my favorite sets the shinobi set is locked to ninja I basically just refashioned to that for all of nioh 2.

No DRM?
2 was more fun desu
>open the game>cicada shillNice try team ninjoke
>>732368226The lack of vaulting and auto-climbing makes me feel like an asshole. But one of the worst things about NIoh 3 is that they keep selling the endgame. In fact, most RPGs still sell the endgame for almost the price of the original game. I can overlook it with indies because they're cheap, but in games like this, they're really expensive.
>>732373270Burrow ninja skill one? If so just browse the thread.
>>732372892and yet only 1% of players have completed Master Ninja difficulty. Meanwhile everyone cleared dark soul.
>>732374187not that one, it was a small unmarked chest, finally got it
>>732368226If you didn't use stylishly both modes in every single fight with a real Yokai you didn't beat the demo.
I wish Samurai could enemy step.
>>732373747why are everyone's robes so ragged in these games
>>732374217>1%So you're talking about one of the dogshit games with universally agreed upon terrible bosses and bad cameras. Of course most people don't make themselves sit through that shit because there is no joy to be had. NG4 has 5% MN completion on Steam.
I'm gonna finally beat both wo long or rise of ronin before buying thisWith one should I start with?
>>732374374>enemy stepWhat is that?
>>732374374You can swap midair. Enemy step with a ninja, swap to samurai, use aerial finisher.
underappreciated girl
How many hours until release?
>>732374432Ok faggot, the point still stands.
>>732374628cookieface
>>732372786NG2 at least feels like its designed around the UT spam.I think the difference between nioh and NG is in the RPG mechanics. The combat doesn't feel as specifically designed.
>>732374518yeah it works. it takes an instant to swap though.>>732374451when you press jump on an enemy to bounce off of their face. Not sure how the games calls that skill but it's how it's called in DMC
What will he think of the game?
>>732374649Less than 7 hours
>>732374652What's the point? I actually don't know that a significantly higher portion of DS players complete NG+ playthroughs (what MN is) than NG players beat MN. Have you already looked that up or are you just assuming?
>>732368226beat the demo with high stance spear. even the blood edge demon got shafted. the little twirl you do on ki bursts is funhow are the new areas?
>>732374805it's not an itagaki ng so it's mid at best
>>732374764I wish samurai couldn't jump in combat and had another attack or defensive skill under that button.
>>732372679Wow that looks so much better than the Reddit one.
If you don't like the CC you can just cover the face with bangsBrilliant
>>732373337sexdownloading wo long right now
>>732374720Problem with ng2 is that it has a fantastic combat system but most of the game is wasted on shitty enemies like van gelfs, against whom there's little incentive to experiment and be creative when you can just forward Y with claws. Meanwhile the human enemies are mostly IS ninjas that force you to string together wind path, guillotine, ots and uts to iframe the shurikens. Also stopping yourself from just spamming uts when it solves every issue is annoying. I shouldn't have to limit myself to not get bored.
>>732374805Who cares, he outed himself as a tourist the second he started talking about games outside of shmups and beatemups
>Realize there's no preloading so even when the game releases I won't be able to play and will need to spend an hour downloading it
>>732374805It's the antithesis of everything he stands for>mechanics creep>open world>piss easy
>>732375096I'm gonna download it in 20 minutes then spoil it for you

>>732374954oh damn I totally forgot that you could change the length. I was thinking of using those bangs
>>732374805Only saw his ng4 video but it was hilariously retarded so I assume his opinions on everything are retarded and secondary.
>>732375334>change the length...wait, what?I need to boot the demo back up to fix my character NOW
>>732372679Is this Playstation? Sliders for PC?
>>732371526>It's not realistic to parry literally everything, deflect beaking the combat is simply not a thingYou don't have to deflect everything. That's what's so completely busted about deflecting. If you try to deflect and fail, at worst, you block.>at that point a parry wouldn't make any difference vs a dodge, and if anything ninja timed dodge can make you move behind ennemies and fuck them up with big dick damage that samurai doesn't get to enjoy from behind.Deflecting would still be better because once your martial gauge is full, and deflecting builds a ton of martial gauge, Samurai does his critical damage regardless of positioning, so long as you do a heavy attack or a skill. Plus, since you recover faster from deflecting than you do dodging AND you are right in front of the enemy you get to attack faster. Deflecting has the outward appearance of being a mechanic that requires skill, but the moment you actually think and analyze it you realize that it is byfar and away the most accessible and effective mechanic the game can offer any player to trivialize any challenge. Essentially, Samurai looks at all the effort you have to put in to do your job as ninja, laughs, and does Moonlight Snow for as much if not more damage than you without having to move an inch
>>732375005I don't mind the van gelfs but I think the game's tendency to make you five five of them at once with no other enemies is what makes it monotonous.And against humans I reckon a lot of the issue is the removal of the DS kick strings. They were gimmicky in NG1 so I'm not surprised that they got shitcanned in favor of more delimbing slash attacks although any DS string with more than three hits is obscenely decadent anyway. However once they made wallbangs delimb that meant that wallbanging was extremely valuable, and the only way to do it when using DS is with GT. Surprise surprise GT became bread and butter. Kick strings would have given you another option for this with a difference spacing.So NG2's definitely got mistakes in its design, its not like NG1 where it all fits together almost perfectly.But all of this is pretty nuanced, and that to me already makes it a lot better than nioh's 'expressive' form of gameplay where the attacks you use are driven pretty much solely off of what you WANT to use. I much preferred the NG style of playing to the challenge, particularly because so many action games eg. DMC already take the expressive approach. Itagaki's gameplay seemed fairly unique in that regard, and its a shame that TN abandoned that when itagaki left.
>>732370805I think it's fun but also quite overpowered at least in the demo. It's way too fucking fast for the current enemies.
Just dropped by to say I uninstalled Steam for good.
>>732370805Filtered doomer
>>732368481>Fromsoft bait didn't work so now trying to throw shade at CV2lmao you Jeets are beyond pathetic.
>>732375692Why?
Whitegoat actually gets routinely obliterated which is surprising to see.
>>732375792his computer is from 2006 he doesnt have enough ram to run it anymore
>>732374837The point is that normalfags will never actually appreciate difficult games and the best they'll accept is piss easy new game souls that aren't anywhere close to being actually difficult because of all the options these games have to help the players finish the game.
>>732373004They play very differently. One is quick and the melee is short reaching, one is slower and has totally different combos. The scaling is a nothingburger because it can just be changed in the new reforging or whatever they call it in Nioh 3.>>732373609Thank you! I didnt think to check the controls. I will do that.
>>732375648Yeah great point, we'll see how it feel in the long run, really Samurai should be stronger.
>>732375825he's no Ongbal
type E/F controls are so much better why aren't they default
So what's a good Ninja weapon if I'm using 1kat for Samurai? Just go with Sword again?
>>732368226How's the difficulty? I heard it's easier than 2 which I found easier than 1. This might not keep my interest if it's too easy.
>>732373703February 6th in Japan, February 5th in the Western Hemisphere
>>732376173they thought sekiroids couldn't handle a two button burst parry
>>732376119let's see ongbal's non cherrypicked gameplay. post the stream.
>>732376252Supposedly NG+ is a lot harder compared to NG this time around so they're not pretending that the first playthrough isn't a tutorial anymore
Yea I'm just not gonna pay for a mid game
>>732376173B is the best. You really need quick ninja swap.
>>732373045They need to drop the semifixed camera meme and make it properly third personNoone wants to get hit/die because they cant see shit, like it happens all the time in NG
kusari gama makes me feel cool :)
>>732371019I found this yesterday, it's so weak. I assume it's more for utility rather than damage.
>>732376543>like it happens all the time in NGNo it doesn't
>>732376443I like having control over whether I style switch or burst counter too much though.
>>732376575Yes it does
>>732375653What do you think of Monster Hunter? The good ones of course, I find them to be a nice blend between expression and improvisation. Their design choice of having no health bars and damage numbers also reminds me of how Itagaki games had a higher emphasis on learning the enemies moveset and behavior. the fact no one in the action game scene ever talks about MH is beyond me.
Anything I can go do in the demo in a bit while waiting for steam release? I finished the hag bitch and got to the tower, got my clear data, did all the big marked events on the map. All I missed are some kodamas I think
>>732376119funny how ongbal's a shit ton better than pooferllama despite nioh 3 being ongbal's first nioh game
>>732376575not in 4, in the old dogshit ones
>>732376543I use the "camera doesnt follow lock on" in nioh 3, I like it a lot. Would be cool if they added an option to either having soft lock on or tapping R3 retargeted instead of toggling.
>>732376201tonfa are busted but I like staff and 2kat
>>732375825He does usually spam some high apm and more difficult combos. Makes you worse off in the short term but in the long term you'll get the muscle memory to do some sick shit.That's my impression at least.
>>732375517yeah its ps5, dont know the sliders for PC solly...
>>732376653I would say to kill Raiju but I think they patched the way to get to him
>>732376658some jeet's 5000 hours is no match for Ongbal's 5 hours
>>732372576>I'll never take this genre seriously>I have more respectWhy do autists think they're so important? No one gives a fuck about your respect or what you take seriously when it comes to video games, you annoying sperg.
>>732376646It really doesn't
>>732376739You don't need combos beyond R1 R1 R1 and lobos is proving it
>>732376713There is an option that centers camera on guard, isn't there? Maybe that could work for you?
>>732376543Only the low iq have issue with 3rd person that's not locked to where they're looking. So you're probably right. But I will hate it and literally ignore a new NG that does this.
>>732376119Ongbal shortcircuits the second he's not playing a 1v1 variation of simon says. You can see it from his dropped ng2b gameplay.
>>732376864Okay? No one said that you do.
>>732376653Did you do Princess Tsubaki mission?Maybe grind some crucible arts?
>>732376805>Why do autists think they're so important?Because I'm the protagonist of my life, nihilistcuck.
>>732368226Post Lady DMC made in Nioh 3.Alternatively, post Epstein.
>>732376864I remember he did the same in DMC3, dude is brainrotted from playing thousands of hours of dark souls
>>732376965NTA but you reminded me to finish unlocking severe whatever for 1kat so I will do that now
>>732376652As soon as I read monster hunter it clicked. I think the different approach to mobility and positioning as well as not having the "juggling threats" aspect of most action games I am excluding the double trouble type fights here puts it in an utterly different category of game for me. It also doesn't help that the only "good ones" I played were on the DS and briefly on the Wii, which cramped my enjoyment of them as an action game.You are right though, monster hunter does share the "right tool for the job" philosophy with ninja gaiden, also another game that ditched challenge outright for player expression. What a shame.
>>732376878Shit, really? When I was playing I was wishing for exactly that, I went through the settings like three times looking for interesting stuff and somehow must have missed it.
>>732374805>open world = lower gameplay density stretch out into a full video honestly there isnt much to say abut nioh 3 they made the game way to easy in the open world and then placed some challenging bosses for the veterans in the optional areas. understandable since the average casual os a knuckle dragger. from soft proved this is the correct approach with elden cockring.
>>732376119'member when Ongbal got utterly BTFO by NG2B?I 'member
>>732376805Way to miss to the point you absolute cuckhold
>>732376969No, you're just a retard with no self awareness that probably quotes Shadow the Hedgehog when you think about childhood bullies.>>732374701>>732374601I'm sorry for their condition, hopefully there are jaw implants in the Edo period.
>>732377240You lost doomtroon
>>732377181Basic game settings, fifth page, Reset Camera Upon Guarding
>>732377338Oh hell yeah. The sheer variety of settings in this game is nothing like I've ever seen before. Fighting without lockon has always been a thing in these dark souls lockon action games but its always been awkward and niche, that they'd lean into it and give you settings to actually play like that is great.
>>732372638RAM is rarely going to be the performance bottleneck.
>>732368226I solved the system upgrade. Enemies scale with the player but with level caps per NG and area. In this case, you receive less XP per area and enemies stop leveling up at a certain level. This keeps the game challenging and keeps the NG+ loop thing going in the series.
>>732368226ninja mode? nigger, i played in multiplayer, used living artifact, used the lvl 58 weapons you get from that one glitch, used the parries, used the OP crucible skills, used the game breaking double elemental stacking, used the double switch exploit, used the onmyo magic with the fast cast and OP summoning, and i DID in fact complete the demo. now what do you think about that huh? what now?
>>732376713I used that in nioh 2 as well and it was amazing. I can't believe ronin didn't have that feature.It makes lock-on games so much less cancer.
>>732377795based mechanics user and video game player
>>732377795wtf prod is that you?!
this game is really easy. They should have named the styles "Good Mode" and "Shitty Mode"

This year is low-key but quite kino:RE9Nioh 3Tides of Annihilation
>>732371167>2dlcsOh so this is why they cut so many yokai, so that they have something to fill the fuckhuge maps (4 returning+2 or 3 new yokai+2 to 6 retrains, that in each dlc)Though that does makes me wonder how they will deal with ng+3, which released with dlc3? Sure hope this doesnt mean there will only be two new difficulties post launch.
>>732378452yes but i get bored easily with games like this for some reason. i beat nioh1 three time and nioh2 only twice. fighting the same bosses over and over doesn't hook me like it does in monster hunter, for example. i don't know why since it's basically the same concept.
>>732368313Who's that on the left supposed to be? Is it a literally me dude?Cause he looks like literally me
