Enjoying the game? I'm 36 hours in and I haven't even left the first major area too busy exploring and doing side stuff.
Just sharing some screenshots I took. The game has a lot of scenic areas to take pictures.
This almost makes me want to try a no armor and no weapons run. It would depend on how big of a damage boost you get from it.
STEP IT UP SENPAI

>>732547715Yeah I'm enjoying it so far. I'm about halfway through the second open area
Please return my stances and ki recovery for my tonfa.
brehs the player characters ass is so fat i keep getting boners whilst playing
Even for the low standards of a nioh game this story is fucking dogshit.
>>732548149put on some pants, wench
>>732548175Holy fucking based. Nioh is back
Yea havin a blast™
>>732547715hope you're having fun nonny
>>732547715bullshit
>keep tutorial popups on >chuckle to myself everytime one pops up, thinking to myself what kind of a retard would forget inputs and mechanics>Suddenly my first Mujina>Completely forget what the input for the emote menu is>No tutorial popupAAAAAIIIIEEEE
>>732547715I'm having fun playing co-opI've not used samurai style once yet
>>732548629I've fucked up this input by misremembering three times now and hit the thing
>>732548503I'm counting demo playtime. I have 25 hours in the demo and 12 in the full game.
>>732547959is this why indians are seething at this game, TN copied one of their sacred bullshits?
>>732548629RB+Startor G on keyboard
any other blast havers?
>Fight a random named NPC revenant >He uses Splitstave>Almost manages to actually kill me >Had to burn 4 elixirs on him. Holy fuck. Splitstave is fucking obnoxious. It apparently has some move that just lets you stunlock and hit someone 15 times. He just keep spamming the same fucking combo/technique and I kept getting stunlocked.
There are so many bosses to choose from, why in the FUCK do I have to fight kamaitachi FOR THE THIRD TIME?
>>732548382Why do attacks phase through the boss?
>>732548880>>732548382I love blasting
who do i farm for the extraction talisman soul core
>>732549014>No armor Are you doing that for an actual reason like this >>732547791 or just a coomer? Or just doing it to increase the challenge? Or do you have the armor hidden?
>>732549014this has basically been every single human enemy in the game for me, but with tonfa instead.I don't know what they should've done to 'fix' it but it is far, far too easy to perma stunlock every human in the game, even with slow weapons like Axe because of Frost Moon keeping up the pressure.
I don't know if it's as useful as I think it is but this skill is pretty cool, you can cancel literally any move as soon as the hitbox comes out so the end lag is basically non-existent besides the style shift animation, and you don't actually have to change styles
>>732549074Human enemies are weak in general. I'm a 1kat main and I'm decimating them, granted you can just spam Severing Spin and Swift Step: Heavy. That's all you really need for 1kat. I hate to admit it but Severing Spin is disgustingly spammable and busted.
>>732549081fucking hell the end game nioh 3 character is going to be absolutely fucking cracked.
>>732549065>just a coomer? Or just doing it to increase the challenge?Why not both. But yea I've gone unarmored for all of chapter 1, getting started on chapter 2 now. Honestly not bad so far, surprisingly not that many one-shots
>accidentally sold my gaki chief soul cores and already did the mission in tokaido that guarantees onewhat do
>23 stamina + the skill that increases your equipload is enough to wear a full set of heavy armour and get A toughness while staying in B agility
>>732549243There are more Gaki chiefs to fight. And you can buy soul cores from Sudama in the Eternal Rift
This game is exactly what I wanted. I don't feel the open world is as bad as I feared coming off being bored with Rise of the Ronin
>>732549296Any idea where I could go grab one rn? And the sudama isn't selling gaki chief ones currently, I don''t know how often he refreshes. q
>Demon of PrideThis was great, favorite boss so far. I just got to Heian.
>>732549324Why do you need one right now?I'm not sure. Are you still in Sengoku era? There are definitely a few Gaki Chiefs to fight there, unless you've already killed them all.
i don't think i've found a single door that opens the first time you encounter it besides ones that lead to bosses.
>>732549378>Why do you need one right now?I got a good roll on my Iga Jonin set mostly having life recovery on amrita absorption so I want extraction talismans.
>>732549324There is a crucible wraith one in Futa Road iirc
>>732549420Killed him already :(
the axe weapon switch attack hits almost as hard as a high stance heavySwitchglaive+Axe and Tonfa+Hatchet feels diabolical.
>>732549081Real quick showcase
>>732549403Found one in Heian at Funaokayama.
does it feel like combat skills link from combos significantly quicker than in previous games or have i just forgotten?I'm talking about skills that are typically on an input like block + light/heavy attack, or the hold strong skills. They all link extremely quick in 3 whereas i feel like in 1 and 2 there was quite a delay if you did anything but do a combo string finisher.
Finished the first mapOnly had trouble with the demo boss and the final boss of the mapI enjoy the AC open world control town kind of gameplay but it may be because I havent played one in a while
>too retarded to remember any the combos>find myself just using the same attacks over and overhehehe tonfa go spinny
>>732549767do the Four lords of Takeda battle scroll for a taste of a proper mission.
>>732547715These graphics look very busy
How do you get rid of the nasty ghosting in this shit game?
i haven't finished nioh 2's dlc or rise of the ronin but i really want to try nioh 3.
>>732549853show a pic of your advanced resolution settings
>watching people struggle with masters and humans>meanwhile tonfa since nioh 1GET PULVERIZED GET PULVERIZED GET PULVERIZED GET PULVERIZED
>>732549490>style shift>only stays in samuraiwhat?
>>732549939You can alter the style shift input so that pressing (on controller) R2 + X will style shift you, while pressing R2 + O will perform a style shift counter while remaining in the same style.Comes like that by default if you use the nioh 2 control scheme.
>>732549876demo is free bwo
>>732549881
>>732550026>uses upscaling>complains about ghostinglol
>>732549876God I wish that were me
Did he deserve the nerfs?
>>732550026both upscaling and framegen at the same time is probably the culprit here. I'd lock it at 60fps native (120 with framegen) with DLAA or ~60% render resolution with no framegen.I'm playing with the former (DLAA with 2x framegen 60fps native for 120fps) and i experience no noticeable ghosting. I have also manually updated the version of DLSS the game is using with DLSS Swapper though, which might have helped.
I lost like 60 frames from 2 to 3 and the only difference I can see is that scampus fur looks better
>>732550119oh and to add onto this assuming you haven't already disabled motion blur like a proper human, having motion blur enabled with framegen or upscaling will absolute fuck games typically.
>>732550108No but he's a piece of shit so yes
>>732550141The actual difference is that it now loads 5 levels at the same time.
>use 1kat ninja mode for Futamata Castle>Skypiercer (Fire) + Falling Moon and Sky Rift aerial attacks>naruto running through the entire area avoiding all damage with Leaf Glide and Swallow Slash>constantly assassinating everything in sight while I never stop movingI finally get it Ninjafags. I am a ninja desu, so cool!
>>732550108I hate these fuckers
do field bosses respawn or no
>>732550231No
Crazy how you just get severing spin for FREE. KatanaGods always win.
>>732550289fuckk how am i meant to farm kamaitachi
>>732550313there's a level 41 battle scroll in the first era with him as the final boss bwo
>snow area bossesIt's like they said fuck it give everyone moves that covers 360 degrees
>>732547715>30 fpsdamn
>>732550349really? i 100%'d the first region and im not seeing any of those scrolls. There was a myth mission iin the overworld but that can't be repeated.
bros, what's the point of the jizo offerings exactly? i can't give them 99999, and every time i check, only 1500 is the max.
>>732550403you meant 51 not 41, i found it, thanks anon.
>>73255040351, not 41 actually
man i think i don't like gameplay for some reason and i don't know whyi like samurai fists, but can't choose weapon for ninja, maybe that's the reason..
Axe jump hold heavy might be my new favorite attack.
Any tips for the Spoilers for first era secret boss Demon of Pride?
>>732547715Is spear still fun?
>>732550540No they removed half its moveset.
>>732550502I think it highly depends on your playstyle and weapon.But try to use moves that deplete a lot of ki and then use a guardian spirit skill to see if you can't completely ki break him before he shifts into the dark realm and vice versa shifts out of the dark realm.He has a lot of big openings, but deal hella damage.
>>732550540Yeah, it's fun. I think it was a bit more fun in 2, but I don't have all the skills for it in 3 yet.
>>732550309How often do you find your ki bar inexplicably empty, anon?Circumcising spin is bait.
>>732550571>>732550759>No they removed half its moveset.Why?
How do I get to the quest up north west? I've been there apparently, but I can't remember the path. I tried going west from the shrine but I can't find any way up.
Elden Ring at homeEnjoy your honeymoon phase, loser.
havin a blast
>You can reset levels and skills as often as you like at the level up menusIt took them 3 fucking games to do this.
>>732550795Pretty sure a quest gets you there as I too had that box checked but had no idea how to get there when trying to explore.
>>732550790They didn't, I don't know why he said that.
>>732547715No, I refunded this garbage. I am willing to tolerate a lot of bullshit, but the game settings randomly resetting on each launch like a 2010 console port was something I thought we'd moved past.
>>732547715>Enjoying the game?very much so, difficulty starting to ramp up in region 2 and i've heard it gets pretty nutty in ng+
Quick question. Can you change your appearance after character creation?
I was so worried "Open Fields" would lead to the sub missions being lame but nah these are great.
>>732550880Yeah
>>732550880Yeah upstairs in the nu-Interim
5700xtbros?
How soon do you unlock your second weapon slot?I just realized that you need to max your familiarity with a crucible weapon to unlock their special moves, but I don't want to switch out my main weapon.
whats the point of ninja weapons
Did they really need to add their own peepee poopoo man?
>>732550502I felt like Samurai was better against him than Ninja. You want to be able to deflect some of his attacks so you can immediately capitalize on the opening it gets you with ki damaging movesThe move where he slowly forms the big ball of water before sending it off to explore, try and get close and dodge behind him when he sends off the water ball so you can get some attacks inThe move where he throws out two flat projectiles, deflect them so you can get some attacks in, you could ninja dodge through them too I guess. Get some ki breaking attacks in. In the dark realm he can follow this up with some crazy spinny move that you need to watch out forHis big 5~ hit combo that ends with the water ball attack can be outspaced and then punished or you can try to dodge behind and around or deflect them, also leaves him open for attacksHe has this three hit and two hit combo move that you should learn to deflect or ninja dodge as well to get ki breaking attacks in.Once his ki is in the red unload as many attacks on him as you can before he shifts into the dark realm. This is why I prefer Samurai with frost moon attacks on this boss. And if you can see that his red ki is low enough try to ki break him completely with a guardian spirit skill so you can get the grapple damage.Repeat the same thing in the dark realm, except be more careful.
>>732550943They're for people who want to go sonic fast and spam buttons like a kid on red cordial. It's fun once you get skills for them and can actually chain all the flips, dodges and attacks.
>>732551013He was in the other games.
>>732550795Replay the crucible mission there, it should be a drop from the boss.
Why is balancing so weird? Main missions are fine in difficulty but open world shennanigans and side stuff are stupidly easy
>>732551013>>732551050whos a peepee poopoo man
>>732550831I think hatchets are one of the better off ninja weapons going from 2 to 3.I still hope it gets the samurai variant back in an update or something, but they're crazy fun in 3 and translated very well to the ninja style.
Game can be kinda pretty at times when you stop and smell the roses
I guess I don't really understand what to do against yokai enemies when they still have ki. I can only hit them once or twice and then I usually kick them once and then back to dodging.Once they are out of ki I know I can spam a bunch of martial arts with the crit thingie. Should I be able to pop off more even they have ki?
>>732551106yasuke?
luv tonfa as ninjalove 1kat as samurailuv nioh 3 almost as much as nioh 2simple as x
>>732550938what? you can use four weapons?
>>732551013they had a doodoo man first ackshually
>>732551173oh, i havent seen him in 3 yet
>thought i will have to fight daidara bocchi>it's actually a part of a genuinely cool exploration setpiece NeatI love the world thus far.
>mimic chest>mimic donation boxwhat's next, mimic shrine
>>732548938Splitstaff is lowkey the most powerful ninja weaponInsane pressure, low commitment, high range on demand, insane amount of spirit force generation
>>732551159I don't really know not having seen your gameplay.You should be able to get more than just one or two attacks in a lot of the time.Yokai tend to have weakspots you can break to stun them for a long time though, so if you see a big yellow glowing horn try to use an attack that hits that spot. For example, high stance attacks with the katana against the Yoki enemy will often hit their horn for a horn break.
>>732551159attacks with kicks tend to do more ki damage
>>732551159Study their moveset. All of them have recovery windows where you can pull your big moves.
>>732548880I swear every time I try any combo on him he just puts up a wind barrier and shuts me down entirely.
did they nerf samurai dodge frames because ninja exists?
>>732551363Maybe, I haven't really felt it if they did.
How do I use odachi
>>732551110Tonfa weirdly feels like it lost a lot of it's identity. They basically made it a middle ground between ninja and samurai where you have the worst mobility of the ninja's but you are the tankiest and have a shit ton of iframes.But it kind of doesn't do the things it did in nioh 2.
>>732550502His water orb that explodes into 4 waves? You can get behind him while he's charging that for free damage. His grab attack? Has terrible tracking so once again rather than get distance, just run towards and around him avoid it and get hits in.His tail swipe can be jumped over. Whether or not he does follow up 1 or 2 attacks is a little random, good luck with that.His homing water orb will always diverge 2 times before chucking itself at you. Dodge on the third go around and you're safe.Use waterstop talismans, it'll save you a lot of pain.During his 2nd phase he'll spawn water orbs that act similar to water familiar talisman, they fling themselves at you after he does an attack occasionally.
>>732551363they feel exactly the same
DLC will add every weapon for both Samurai and Ninja plus 1 unique weapon for each.
>>732550938>>732551201After you finish the first region, you unlock the second level of samurai, ninja and onmyo training in the hub area. Completing the second samurai training gives you your second weapon slot.
>>732551363They're just difficult to learn. Low/Mid have like 10 frames which is still more than enough if you're pretty good at the game, but obviously it's rough for a lot of people. High roll has like 20 which is massive even for Dark Souls standards, but it's a slower recovery, the others sort of range between those two.
>>732551110i tried them a few times in 2. idk why they never clicked, they're the most fun ninja weapon to me atm, so fun i'm forgetting to switch back to samurai until bosses.
>>732551392>doesn't do the things it did in 2you can spam heavenly chain and Pulverize exactly like before, which is 95% of tonfa's gameplay outside of tonfa gun.
>>732551110Having finally gotten enough skills and time with them I agree. You can still zone opponents out with advancing storm, but the new sidestep throw that is just a quick flick of the stick+heavy attack input is so abusable and spammable that you can keep doing that on humans and they can't really stop you. against yokai you can keep them away just long enough until you've done enough ki damage with throws to just jump them afterwards. If Spiraling Death is in as a crucible skill I can only imagine how great it would be for status buildup again.
I can't tell if 3 is piss easy or if my skill in 2 has just carried over
I dont care for ninja weapons
>>732550831Yokaisisters n-not like this...
>nearly 2k hours across nioh 1 and 2>still having a brain overload from the amount of shit you can do with 1kat in 3>mind starts melting once i try adding yokai cores, onmyo and ninja stuff into the mix
also when do you unlock the ability to wield dos weapons
>>732551436I hope so. I have a hard time thinking of what interesting new weapons they could add though, I feel like everything is pretty covered.Maybe sais, but how would that moveset look like and be interesting?
>>732551560Both, at least the games becomes harder after the first area.
>>732551565What??
>>732551595as soon as you step foot in the 2nd map.
>>732550902>Nioh 2 literally looks better and runs betterLAMAO
>>732551586>I FEEL THE WARP OVERTAKING ME>IT IS A GOOD PAIN
>>732551560I think it's a bit of both. Having thought about it, of course Nioh 3 was always going to feel easier than 1 and 2 on a first playthrough because I've played those games hundreds of hours on much higher difficulties, but it's also a bit easier on a base difficulty level.I think it's overstated just how much though, 1 and 2 were not that much harder, so both things combine to make it seem way way easier.
>>732551630>runs betteri played nioh 2 and 60 and im playing nioh 3 at 60, keep seething jeet.
>thought that fists are ninja weapon>finally get them after 7 hours>it's samurai weapon>ninja got talons>talons suck dickhope i at least can use tonfa gun for big badaboom or maybe i'll try splitstaves
>>732551560It's a combination of having far higher power level (awakening 7 hours in, a ton of previously endgame abilities available early) and your skill carrying over.You can also afford to be far tankier now because C agility is not a suicide anymore and you can rapidly go into B territory with 260 toughness
>>732551669how you even get cestus
I just wear shit gear to make the game harder.
What's the difference between burst break with RT and style switch burst break? Do I just hold it longer? (control type B with longer window between RT presses)
>haven't been able to find a single visitor since launch>forced to git gudI am growing stronger...
>>732551707Some anon showed off a skill that increases the window for deflects, so I suspect equipping that and going C agility is going to be a very viable option. I just wish that bastard bothered to mention where he found that skill.
>>732551669Talons are great if you treat them as fourth stance for fists with insane mobility and forward momentum. It also allows you to free defensive drop and beyond infinity from fist inputs.
>>732551715i got it after killing first boss in hamamatsu castle
>Nioh 1The Samurai Nioh, introduces the basics and core systems that make the Nioh franchise gameplay identifiable and unique>Nioh 2The Yokai Nioh, what if the protagonist was a Yokai? The game then presents the kind of new gameplay mechanics that could arise from this question, with Yokai skills, soul cores, and a demonic transformation>Nioh 3The Ninja Nioh, this game expands the fantasy of the Ninja in the context of Nioh>Nioh 4What do you want?The obvious one would be to do an Onmyo Nioh that would add new mechanics related to Onmyo and magic.
DLC will add a third form, knight form, and lay the groundwork for World of Nioh
is it me or the hardest boss fights are the ones where bosses can consistently have moves or button reads to move just far enough that no combo path
>>732551750i just don't like it animation wise, attacking with claws etc
>>732551749I was literally playing with C agility from the start. Dumped all points into stamina to achieve B, but my time with C was completely manageable. Deflect, skills with deflect frames, mobility from frost moon, it all adds up.
>>732551770Yokai Shift will be a hero class and start at a higher level
>>732551526for me it's demon fang
>>732551749i dont think i have that skill and ive had no problems deflecting my way through with c agility so far
>>732551763Nioh in other countries, mainly so chinks can't make their own niohs
>>732551794how many hours to reach bakumatsu?also do they have any cool ninja armor sets like ronin?
>>732551763>>Nioh 4>What do you want?European folklore nioh mite b cool, dunno how that would work though
Most fun ninja weapon? I kjnow tonfa is OP as fuck, but what is the most fun? Starting to get tired of dual swords
>>732551818Kill all Yokai Shift players. Fucking faceroll class for shitterst. early alpha tester
>both Hiddy and Takechiyo can see Dark Realms>William could not>he likely went through a shit ton of dark realms just unga bunging his way through
>>732551885Kusa is really good against humans imo. 1kat is also surprisingly strong.
>>732549876Then play 3 first, you can finish the dlc later
>>732551885literally anything but 2kat and 1kat, their ninja movesets are so small compared to the other weapons
>>732551885Hatchets and 1kat have been very fun for me.
>>732551865make it like nioh 1. be some cool japanese historical figure that tracks demons back to europe.
>>732551827I don't just want it.
>>732551885All of them are fun in their own way. I think hatchets require the biggest amount of skill points to truly activate but they are also probably the most mechanically advanced and cool looking ninja weapon.
>>732551763>Nioh 46 weapon slots each. You wear a second pair of weapons on your feet at the same time. Holding RB + any button is a martial art even stick direction. Every LB + button is onmyo and ninja skills. 26 gyro movements (game is only playable with gyro controller) that activate yokai and guardian spirit moves. 500 systems that add passive skills.
>>732551828Had to Google, but having a setting in England during the war of the roses could be dope. Have some Japanese go be a hero in their homeland like William did in Japan.
>>732551646you're right actually, I did a fresh (incomplete) run of n2 a while before n3 and just swept through everything

>>732551436I'm expecting this too but it would be kinda lame to just sell us something they deliberately removed>>732551586Same I'm 10 hours in and I'm still fumbling with the buttons. for some reason my brain can't handle having both a dodge and a jump even though I played elden ring
>>732551945You're just describing that action game with the giraffe looking woman who has guns on her high heels.
>>732551952dom justo takayama's ship got blown off course and now he's time travelled to the war of the roses
where do i get beyond infinity for the ninja claws
>>732552023And god bless that giraffe woman, and her tits!
Axe is so fun in 3(except Frost Moon: Humanity).
I can only hope we get a lot of skill points later, because having ki pulse: heaven, man, and earth as skills hurts a little. That's 9 points for these.
>the demo is 85 fucking gigabytes
>90% of the way through Heian>zero instanced side missions found so farWhy is it so hard just to plop some enemies in an area and let you load into it?
>>732552032Would be interesting how they handle a catholic seeing spirit guides floating around. Dealing the the yokai would be easy for him tho, just slaying some demons for the Lord.
>>732551937I noticed it in my inventory after fighting the first boss in the snow area, some other anon said it's in the rift, so crack some spirit veins and check the hole behind the blacksmith, and clear the whole snow area before the very first boss.It's called Deflection Expert, but can't find any guides yet as journalist haven't gotten that far into the game apparently.
>>732552197Yeah it's fucking weird. The first area gave me hope but they fucked it up
>>732552219I've already beaten the second boss in the snow lands and haven't seen it. I must've missed it then in the introductory zone. Great Tengu was a little tricky, but the giant pig demon was both easy and hard if that makes sense. I thank TN that hatchets has a lot of ways to damage enemies without having to be right next to them, they carried me hard in that fight.
>>732550943For cheesing block-heavy masters with tonfa.
>about to fall off cliff>lock onto enemy>LT+X Tonfa in mid air>fly toward him and survivethis is up there with nioh 2 for me, damn.
It's retarded that they shove must have skills in with a bunch of literal garbage like 3 different skills that buff you if you perfect ki pulse a pool one for each stance.

>Heian doesn't even pretend to be an actual open world and it is literally just a big circle hallway with branching points in the west, south, and east where they put the dungeonsI had hope that the open world would improve after the starting area not that they would abandon the entire idea of an open world
I hate that 1kat is so much fun. It feels like the default and not unique at all. Kind of like playing as a human warrior in an RPG with classes and races. Yet I can't keep away from it.

>>732551113I love the way they use colours in this game. Everything is so vibrant. It's like the anti-medieval european grey filter.
>>732552614katana has always been nioh's equivalent to dark souls' sword and board
>>732552614Always bet on 1kat it will always get the most and fun skills. It's their baby.
>>732552585To be fair the devs have always said it's not an open world
>>732547715Is it the same autism simulator like rise of ronin?
>>732552647>too dumb to pirate games>calls others shitskins Sasuga
>>732551113It can't be pretty for the poorfags who need to disable everything.
>>732551745Yes you just hold it longer to switch styles instead. I'm not sure but I don't think it's a good idea to actually try to burst break with the held input since it looks like it takes longer for it to come out.
>>732552683>anti-medieval european grey filterWhat did he meme by this?
>>732552505>steam overlayWhy would you need this?
>>732552538Don't worry anon, we were just too busy playing GOTY to type.
Anyone know how to get the corpse item on a little cliff in the southwest of Heian by the shrine? It looks like there is a path up to it if I go further up but it's across water with no way to get over.
>>732552781You posted the literal one piece of media from the last 50 years that portrays realistic colours in a medieval setting.
>>732552763Damn, sounds like I'm a bit cucked then because I just picked up a skill that gives me improved ki damage when I do a burst break style switch but guess it won't be consistent.
>60fps >barely even stable>in 2026Am I losing my mind? How the fuck is this considered acceptable?
>>732552801did it do well or what, I can't read numbers
>>732552658So it is, thank you flat-anon.
It sucks that pressing stance + O no longer make MC wash the blood away from the swords, I love doing this in N1/N2/ROR
>creates the best action game of all time>creates the best soulslike of all time>hot chicks in every gameAre they the GOAT?
Fun game but the lighting is some stinky piece of ass.
>>732552852Best selling game on steam and largest launch week sales in TN history.It's a banger, basically. All the doomposting and reviewbombing (which if you filter steam reviews by language, is mostly non english speakers kek) failed.
>>732552852It has been the #1 selling game on Steam worldwide for 3 days now, and reached the biggest peak player count in the publisher's history. This baby just secured Team Ninja more funding and projects for the next 5 years at least.
>>732551113>>732552683Damn that looks good. What's your volumetric fog setting?
>>732552883I thought Nioh 2 was a one off for modern TN but I may have to concede they're one of the best devs today.
I’ve put more effort into trying to enjoy this game than the devs did in making it. It’s just not a good game, simple as.
>you get to choose any effect while reforgingWait, isn't this busted as fuck?
>>732552849in house engine btw
>>732552849Dunno I have 120fps at 4K.>>732552883They were until they censored fuku and onmyo ninja gear
Why the FUCK did they give a red glow to kusanagi's flying projectile attack?Did they not think for a single fucking second that MAYBE you could POSSIBLY mistake that for the BURST COUNTERABLE ATTACK????WHAT ARE THESE STUPID SLANTS THINKING
>>732552792screenshots and framerate monitoring
>>7325528833 has no hot chicks though, they killed and censored the only one.
>>732552846Some of those skills are inconsistent in that it will give you the effect anyway if you just do a regular burst break. Give it a try and see if theres a buff icon
>>732552921I just set it to the lowest thanks to a recommendation from another anon. Everything else is maxed.
>>732552919even though i'm upset that nioh's fanbase is going to have more normalfags as a result (just look at what elden ring's success did to the dark souls fanbase), i'm happy for team ninja that this game's been so successful
How's the game's performance? I have a 9070xt +9800x3d. Is 120/144fps@1440p achievable?
this guy wasn't that badstill ended with zero elixirs and a sliver of health though
>>73255304160 fps definitely, 120? maybe idk, try the demo and see
>>732552954> 120fps at 4KI can’t find a single clip on youtube of someone doing an enemy base in the north section of the open world where the performance doesn’t entirely go to shit, so I frankly don’t believe you. It’s not even really a hardware issue, it’s the engines inability to keep up with constantly loading in huge chunks of the level at random as you move between unmarked points that just trigger the game to reload every enemy and texture for an area you can’t even reach
>>732553041I have a 7800XT and 9800x3d, locked 60 no dlss, upscaling or framegen. 100% res scale. No dynamic resolution or frame rate. Borderless. Volumetric clouds at lowest because they do basically nothing but eat your cpu.Make sure EXPO is enabled in mobo settings bios. Enjoy a locked 60 brother.
>>732553041my 5080/9800x3d cannot get a smooth 60fps at 1440p without turning down some settings
Do we get the blacksmith option to re roll effects on weapons and armor later in the game? It's fucking annoying when I get some good high level gear but the effect are so ass its not worth using.
>fight a master revenant>he drops a set, guardian monk>he only drops two pieces of it>can’t fight him againwell fucking now what
>>732553041I have a better GPU but worse CPU than that and I get 120fps at the same resolution. You would be fine.
>>732553048>weaknesses: nolmao
bring back nioh 2 protagand his nyotengu youkai
>>732553107>don’t believe youhe's probably an NJudea GPU user who upscaled from 240p insisting it looks "just as good" as the real thing
>>732547715>Demon of Pride in the first zoneI REALLY hope this isn't a "super boss in every area" type deal, but it kinda felt like it.But thanks for the Lv 90 gear, I guess. Beats my Lv 50 shit.This is the only Nioh image I have.
>>732553164the rest of the set has just been dropping from random mobs for me
>finish open world quest>the quest giver appears as a ghost near me to save me the tripfucking thank you i wish Fromslop did this
>>732552970just use afterburner and rtss.
>>732553107>so I frankly don’t believe youNot him but I have a 5090 and been running this game 4k and everything maxxed out and my framerate locekd to 120 and it never dips. Oblivion Remastred was far, far more demanding than this game.
>>732553193demon of envy in next region anon xDshe was much easier
>>732552882What? Did they seriously remove this? I
>>732553249Atleast it's something differentThis guy wasn't even that hard, he was just really annoying unless you spam deflects.
Khazan or Nioh 3
>>732553278That's not even remotely true and Idk why of all things, someone would choose to lie about the chiburi animation being removed. It absolutely has not been.
>>732553107I never had this kind of issue. I get 4K120fps with or without framegen.>7800X3D>5070ti>>732553182megacope. If it looks 4K120 it's 4K120.
>>732553310i decided i wanted to learn how to deflect every move of his, took me a while
>beat demon of pride>drops level 90+ gear>currently have level 58 gear and am level 60
>>732552197huh? there's one for the rajomon place and one duel.
>>732550108They got nerfed? People are still dying to the fuckers.
>>732553321Nioh 3 is better total package but Khazan has best bosses
>>732553329I can't trigger it at all after a yokai fight. I think it only happens vs people. I can't trigger it nearly as often as I used to.
damn should I get this game everything works on my pirated copy but steam overlay and it bothers the fuck out of me
>>732553389They want to ease you into the gear autism that is coming in NG+
>>732553370>There are yokai that are resistant to confusion.Seems unfair when the whole point of confusion is that it fucks yokai up.
>>732553321Khazan has soul, Nioh 3 is soulless like most open world slop.
>>732553321Khazan is objectively superior in almost every way except for the bland ass setting. Nioh wouldn't be half as cool if it didn't have centuries of established culture, history and lore working for it. If you don't mind that, the choice should be ease.
>>732553442That's how it worked in 2 as well, genius. Yokais don't bleed blood.
>>732553321There's not really any reason to play Khazan when Nioh 3 exists
>>732553360holy shit this game is ugly. wow.
>>732553457>>732553467>fromsoftfags try a new angleyeah, this one's not working either
>>732553448Get it when it's on sale.
>>732553389Me quite literally 5 minutes ago
>>732553456it makes me how bad the last difficulty will be at this point after the last dlc
>it's rising againDiscord sisters... this is literally genocide
>>732553538Khazan has been pushed in these threads since the demo. It's pretty desperate.
>>732553442You only get blood on your weapons from attacking humans. This is the case for all 3 Nioh games.
>>732553563CHARTIE SHARTIES OBLITERATED AGAIN
>>732553406If you compare them to the first demo it's night and day how weak they are now.
>>732553563not expecting 100k, but 90 would be neat
>>732553563NO NO NO NO FUCKING STOP HOW THE FUCK COULD THIS HAPPEN
It’s pretty funny that TN’s approach to copying elden ring entirely missed the point. It’s all of the downsides of an open world with literally none of the upsides. There’s no exploration or cool secrets to find, just a series of 1-2 turn hallways inside of an ugly area that already was just filler. I hate this game with a burning passion tbqdesu.
>>732553563khazansisters... not like this...
>>732553321Is Khazan on sale right now? amazing bosses and has the most satisfying great sword gameplay ever. It's not going anywhere tho so nioh 3 first?
>>732553615then go back to elden ring
>>732552892>>732552919>actually follow up the series your fanbase loves>it sellswooooooow
>>732553563SAAAR DO NOT REDEEM THE FUCKING NIOHS 3 NOOOOO
>>732552967i just beat him and did not have this issue. there's a sound effect that always goes with burst counterable attacks.
>>732553360>that screamo lighting enable the fog, dude.
>mfw horse fucker in the four heavenly kings gauntlet.Fuck this guy. I was able to handle the previous three and Takeda Shingen after handedly but took me a couple of runs to beat the horse fucker and had to use all my elixir to do so
>>732553615This is the exact kind of open world approach I like, though shit I guess.The only thing I hate is the censorship and KT's shitty DEI fetish.
>>732553563Makes you wonder where they go from here?Nioh is the biggest KT franchise now. Do they TN go straight into making Nioh 4 or do they try something else, either Wo Long 2, NG 5, ROTR 2 or a new game completely?
>>732553647Khazan is a solid game, I wouldn't put it on par with Nioh 2, but the Koreans were on the right path. Even got the "relatively boring story with great combat" part down.
>>732553709Lightning stops him moving real quick.
>>732553615>Elden Ring>Cool secrets to findLolLMAO
I am the only man playing cestus
>>732553457>khazan>soulReminder that the devs released an update that turns the MC into a tranny in a desperate attempt to rope in some coomers after the game flopped.You can't get any more anti-soul than that
>>732553615>cool secrets to find and it's just Demi Human #72 and Crystal enemy #7811
>>732553726Stranger of Paradise 2
>>732553360my 5070ti and 9800x3d cant maintain 120fps at 1440p so you are full of shit
>>732553705Yeah I've been experimenting trying to fix the graphics with it off because some anon asked about it and I've been trying to help them, that's a screenshot I took from that effort.But it turns out it's impossible, you have to enable the fog or the contrast and blacks are fucked. So just like Nioh 2 it's gonna need a mod that keep the effect but turn it's intensity way downhttps://www.nexusmods.com/nioh2/mods/244
>>732553792I'm waiting to unlock more stuff for them before swapping to fists.
>>732553726Use the success of Nioh 3 to leverage themselves a sequel project for some dormant series or an action spin off in some big franchise. Then they'll also release a few other new projects that underperform, after which they'll break the Nioh 4 emergency glass.
>>732553792i keep trying em but i just aint a fan.
>>732553806>released an update that turns the MC into a trannythis sounds like some absolute /pol/tard bullshit
>>732553389Where's the demon of pride? I just killed the Heian crucible boss
>>732553841Your settings must be trash.
>>732553915open your mapopen the filterchange the filter on everything to 'only display things without a tick (aka only undiscovered things)'Demon of pride should be at the gold chest.
>>732553726Dead or Alive action game spinoff
>>732553806I think that was the only soul bit in Khazan.should've shipped with the female protag option, retarded it didn't.
>>732553902only /pol/ would complain about free skin meant spice up replays
>make hobo madara>go ham with fire and lightning ninjutsu hehe
>>732553981That's called Ninja Gaiden.
>>732553726Make their games easier and easier and more censored than ever.
>>732553943so you are running upcaling then i see
>shrine maiden set is now a samurai setNOOOOOOO
>>732553703Yeah I got him eventualy. I couldn't hear the burst counter effects over all the laser beams the bitch was shooting.
>>732554007NG doesnt have beach volleyball
>>732553792I'm here with you, brother!t. cestus+talons
>buffsI hated this in 2 and I hate it here
>>732553771>>Cool secrets to findfinding a giant iron maiden at the bottom of a wizard castle that sucked me up into its snake veins and teleported me to a volcano where I had to fight my way out was a cooler secret than any main part of this entire game
>Japanese game >not playing as a japanese looking guy
>>732553726I think this is the point where the enshittification begins. Nioh 3 will probably turn out to be the single highest selling game KT has ever made and they will want to replicate its success so expect even more pandering to normalfags, even more simplification, even more dumbing down of difficulty. And since Japanese execs are notoriously clueless about everything they will probably chalk a part of the game's success to it being more censored than before, so expect even more censored outfits in the future and no more flopping yokai titties.
>>732554120you look straight up mongol invader
has anyone found a single nurikabe yet?
>>732554220Yes, more than 5 by now (am in the 2nd region)
>>732554103I mean nobody is gonna argue that this game is even in the same ballpark as elden ring in terms of quality and atmosphere. what this game has is a gamified combo system that lets you melt bosses instead of learning their patterns.
>>732554220like 6 in the first map alone.
>>732554186>SuddenlyAs far as I'm concerned TN stopped existing when they stopped making ninja gaiden and started making dark souls clones.
>>732552763>>732552846retarded faggots even with hold to style change you can just tap it without changing to the style to parry the red attack
Reforge system is extra shit this time around, even TN is telling me not to bother with the stats on gear.
tengu niggas in shambles
>beat the first crucible >been exploring the world>having lots of fun>but the armor variety is nonexistent >everything for samurai I find would need significant stamina investment to get above c agilitywhere the fuck are the robes? the onmyo sets? ninja cannibalized fucking every lightweight armor
Another easy mode skill found
>>732554296I don't know what's got you so upset or confused, we already know that. He just wanted to know if the passives still work with the non style switch burst.
>>732554317>Style shift burst breakDoes that mean it doesn't work if you're using the GSS counters?What if you separate style shift and burst counter onto separate buttons?
>>732551159Hit weakspots, try to move in a way that makes them whiff a lot of attacks at once, jump over stuffThe point of the ki bar is to make you play honestly, you're not supposed to be going absolutely sicko mode on them while they have it

>>732554317i don't know man these extend your parryframes skills take way too many skillpoints for what they addits better to just get gud and use the points on something else that is strong
i want to parryslop every attack
Why is this game's loot colors so confusing so it'spurple>blue>yellow>whiteright?
>>732554317Clear enemy camp at this location and loot the chest.
>>732550795Do main mission. I think it will be the next area you will be sent to. It's strange since the area has a lower lv shown than the one you have to go to right now.
>>732554120Yeah I made Jack Garland in character creator, so what?

>>732554429the confusing part at the beginning for me was that blue was more rare than yellow
>>732554429from highest to lowest rarity, yes, until NG+ adds more colours.>so confusingthe vast majority of games since like early 2010's have had white be the lowest, yellow be the 2nd lowest and blue be the third lowest, then it's usually either purple or orange/gold, then the other one.
>>732554403It's not like i have every skill but a lot of them are just negligible dps increases besides some notable ones like versatility, yes if I was a super optimized player they would be better but this is only 6 points for a huge boost to survivability
>>732554514Its usually white, blue, yellow, then either purple or orange innit
honestly this open world feels like first ninja gaiden sometimes
>>732554564I think blue is rarer that yellow.
>>732554573u fkn wot m8
I feel like there should be an additional chance to get a crucible weapon on clearing a lesser crucible since they're one time only. I'm doing these with as many equipment and crucible weapon modifiers as I can muster and never seem to get any.

This game is aggressively ugly
>>732550831Hatchets were a mistake.
>>732554651it almost feels like the global illumination was added in at the end as an afterthought and by that point it was either too hard to fix or nobody wanted to do it because they figured that (you) would still buy it
>>732554573No... not at allNg1 despite having missions is an interconnected world that you have to travel between with no fast travel points at all and you open up shortcuts, if anything it's more like older DMC games and maybe dark souls

>jumping over attacks>backflipping from attacks>vaulting over attacks>suplexing enemies to avoid attacksok this is certified kino

>>732555019>where are the onmyo mages locks? where's the onmyo skill tree?you dont need them. All you need is soul cores now and you'll be playing as if omyo was maxed.
Splitstaff STINKS.
Shinsaku is based, the revolver is a cocktease though.
anyone think TN not putting Denuvo on Nioh 2 ironically helped Nioh 3 sales? 1 and 2 were Playstation ports that built up recognition slowly but the PC pirates got the word of mouth out that it is good and thus helped build popularityTN chads, are we winning?
This gave me more trouble than it should've had. Was getting killed in 2-3 attacks
>"I'll only play a few hours a day so I don't get burnt out">last night's play session, 713 minutesi'm hooked lads...
Like fuck, is the game really supposed to look like this? It makes me miss the red filter.
>>732555019You get a tier 2 lightning damage spell before entering the first dungeon that you wouldn't even get in Nioh 2 until completing 2 way of the onmyo missions, retardbro

>>732555241back when games looked great and ran well. oh how we’ve fallen.
>>732554480The only thing Elden Ring's open world has going for it is presentation. In terms of actual content i'm baffled how much better Nioh 3 thus far.>a separate setpiece dungeon purely to have Daidara Bocchi shooting shit at you
>>732555420the 500 ninja kills are probably today alone, i got a build that rapes now
>>732554480P horrendous example because Elden ring has numerous villages being raided and all of them are insanely more memorable and unique.>Albinauric village Is tied to multiple NPCs, a major story crest involving the secret medallions which unlocks a secret area with multiple new bosses (including malenia), has 3 unique weapons and a unique talisman, also it doesn’t have an arteria leaf funnily enough >that village with the flowers and crazy ladies dancing Has two unique weapons, two spells (one of which is tied to a painter spirit which has a minor lore revelation), the town is also part of Millicent’s quest, also doesn’t have an arteria lead funnily enough >jarburgTied to multiple NPC quests, gets invaded at one of their quest ends, is a wholly unique town because it is not aggressive, does actually have arteria leaf but the point is it’s a craftable loot spot, you get multiple cracked pots as well Buddy, I like nioh 3 but there’s a reason Elden ring is widely considered one of the greatest games ever made, you should play it instead of parroting muh open world memes.
>>732555420Fellow ignore Ninja bro
>open map>go to marked loot>"come back when you've finished a third of the game"One of the worst sins in gaming
>>732555483>>jarburgdidnt even work properly until almost a month after launch, that was pathetic
Nioh 3 is the only game in the series where I bother to stealth, jumping, the grass, enemy patrol routes, it’s like they actually bothered to factor it into level design which is cool. Makes the game actually feel like an rpg
>>732549081>end lag
>>732555579Who gives a shit? It works now. You’re saying this is a NIOH thread. You know the series that added stuff like NG+ cycles and depths after a month after launch, newfag?

I think there's a bug with this setting beyond the game just being poorly optomized
>>732555483I've seen more unique setpieces on the first map of Nioh 3 than in the entire base game of ER
>>732555668>It works now.hindu mindset
a new shitslop game has hit the toilet bowl i see
>>732555483NPC quests are the most worthless aspect of Elden Ring that involve doing a bunch of obscure actions in a set order only to be "rewarded" with some incomprehensible schizobabble about earning Zanzibart's forgiveness
>>732552538I spent the whole weekend with friends in a remote mountain cabin, playing couch coop games and boardgames and going to sauna.Now I will launch Nioh 3 for the first time, big fan of the earlier games but I know absolutely nothing about the third one.
>>732555676No, you haven’t. Just to compare take first region underground maps >the hino enma cave in nioh 3Pretty coolCompare to >fucking siofraIt’s an insanely brutal mogging
>>732555676t. entirely retarded disingenuous nigger
>>732555106Yeah the wheelmonk did absurd damage for some reason
>>732555723Elden Ring had the same shit, youtubers are retards and their SUPER BROKEN OVERPOWERED BUILD falls off after the first few bosses usually.
Literally me.
>>732555742Again, you should try actually playing games instead of being an ESL brownoid slopping out LLM memes
>>732555742Yeah, Lies of P spoiled me because how that game handled NPC questlines is a new gold standard. Nioh 3 is doing a good job so far too.
>>732555792>SUPER BROKEN OVERPOWERED BUILD falls off after the first few bosses usuallyThis, the thumbnail highlights a hit of 13k damage as something overpowered. It's fucking nothing.
>>732555106That exact same terrain is in nioh 2, it’s the bottom of the drained water section in the level with the kamaitachi
>>732554120cosmology of kyoto looking motherfucker.
>>732555845I wish nioh 3 did a bit more to veil the “go here kill this mob again” mission that seems to be every single quest
>>732551763isometric path of exile/diablo full autistic approach
>>732555713Are you >>732547959
>>732555810hot
>>732555917don’t do that. don’t give me hope.
I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST THE 4 FUCK ME MAN
>>732555929No, I like Team Ninja. That anon doesn't.
>There are still jeets itt trying to doompost and claim Nioh 3 is a flop.For what purpose?
>>732554619Pretty sad how you haven't realised all the things you describe in Elden Ring are simply things the player looks at. You the player are never actually doing anything cool in the game, it's just about standing in the designated vista spot to look at the skybox.
am i about to be assaulted
>>732555773Buddy they run Siofra into the ground immediately by turning it into an endless wasteland with no interesting shit to find. This pattern repeats many times with ER. I would genuinely prefer an expansive one-off cave like hino enma's underground to the abhorrent repetitive trek through the underground in ER.
>>732556014
>>732556068Slop sells these days.
>>732554480my biggest problem with elden ring is that since it's "big dark souls" the exploration aspect gets fucked hard, because all you can find is dark souls items, which means you'll constantly find shit that's 100% useless. since nioh does diablo loot, everything you find is worth at least money, bare minimum. going back to the hub with 200 pieces of shit is insanely beneficial, because it means you can level your weapon up, get a new one, soul extract, break everything down, etc. elden ring being made up of static items with singular uses hurt the world the same way it hurt breath of the wild. "number go up" is extremely powerful in open world games.
>>732556071Hey now you gotta give some credit to Fromsoft, in ER you sometimes pick up dung and find arterial leaves from a hidden path in the open world.
>>732556068most are tendies with a shit or no pc
>>732556125So why did Highguard flop? You're just coping because your Izzat depends on it.
>Finally get Miko set>It's ninja onlyFUCKI don't mind the ninja gameplay, but the separation of armor fucking SUCKS
>>732556071this takes the cake for biggest cope post in the entire thread holy shit
>>732556182Yeah i don't like it much either. If only you could layer the equipment from both sides onto eachother. Like using ninja armor as layered armor for samurai you feel me?
>>732556239He is almost completely right though
>>732547715bros I can't start the game until tuesdaydon't finish without me
>>732555483I've played Elden Ring more than you. It's From Software's worst game since 2009. All the things you described are superficial jingling keys that look cool, then you walk in and do the same boring shit you do in the entire game. Look at the enemy, wait for them to attack, roll, counter attack until they die. The NPC quests are all exactly the same with no exceptions: Find the NPC in the random spot they appear, give them an item, talk about vague nonsense, find them dead in a ditch.I still consider Elden Ring overall to be a "good" game. But the only reason it is so popular is because it's baby's first fantasy adventure game. Basically Skyrim but for the generation born in the 2000s.
>>732556281this isn’t r/nioh champ
>>732556182They had better patch in cross transmogging, I really don't see a good reason for it to be locked especially since both sides have light and heavy looking armor.
>>732556239post a single WEBM of the player character doing something cool in Elden Ring
Oh, NOW I get it. Jeets are brigading Nioh 3 threads because it has an Indian NPC in it.
Is nioh 2 or 3 better? I kinda want to just jump into 3 because I've been seeing a lot of it and it looks fun but I've had 2 in my backlog forever from some humble bundle or something and just never got around to it. I played 1 and it was okay.
>>732556480I prefer 2 slightly but 3 is VERY good.
>>732547715why does the map take so long to open
>>732556480If you start with 3, you'll hate 2 and if you start with 2 you'll hate 3. There is no winning choice here.
>>732556507Seems to be linked to your drive speeds, sometimes it loads ultra fast and sometimes it's slower when I'm in a big new area.
i feel ZESTY
>>732555478>this cave looks cute!>it's a whole fucking nioh dungeon i was in for 2 hourskinolicious.
>>732556424bro is playing in 480p
>>732556239All the memorable parts of Elden Ring are you finding a new place, seeing a big impressively designed area, or watching a boss enemy do something badass. Nobody ever talks about their cool build, or their favourite ways to fight enemies, or showing a clip of something skillful they did. The player character's gameplay and everything the player does is the least interesting thing about the game. And I would say the player is a pretty important part of a video game.
>>732556597>geralt if he trans or asian
>>732556621i had to downsize the screenshot because of 4chins limit
>>732556480Nioh 2 is the best Soulslike of the 3Nioh 3 is the best action game of the 3
>>732547715my enjoyment is waning. I feel like I experienced everything the game had in just the demo. Does it have ANY tricks all? The only thing I'm waiting for is getting two weapons.
>>732556643>geraltoh that's why
>>732556014Why the fuck did it go so much easier the second time?
>>732556605>shit load of verticality with two paths you can take to reach the end, several secrets, looks cool as fuck too with giant amrita crystalsGenuinely impressive
>Just fought Baba Noboharu or whatever>Get him down to like 200HP >No elixirs left >No spirt gauge left >Panic mode >Manage to ki break him >Severing Spin >Dies What a rush, and I beat him on my first try.
fuck yea time to go hit XXXY on some gooks in a rice field! this game is, dare i say, EPIC!!!
>>732556480They are both amazing but mechanically 3 is superior to 2.
>>732556507Depends on how much other shit is loading; seems like it HAS to finish loading whatever is in view before the map can open.
>diablo loot styleI'd be tempted but this one kills it for me
>>732556720
>>732556480Nioh 3 just came out, it's hasn't reached it's full stride knowing TN and how the DLC add so much more to the game. As it stands right now? A LOT OF POTENTIAL, the combat mechanics are the best part, and there's even more now between 2 modes. Of all the action games to have released this year, this is the best one, but it's also only 2 months into the new year.
>>732556784You don't really have to care about it on the first NG, just equip bigger number every now and then.The loot and itemization starts to matter at NG++ and beyond. And you can just disable the giant numbers and shining loot lights in the menu and play it like any other action game.
>>732552538Bird of a feath...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
>>732553742Khazan wasn't allowed to unleash its full power or it would have scared soulsfags. They can never know about sky Korea having a vietnam war against a gang of cyborg clown nazis.
snow area is medium difficulty compared to the first easy one imo, i find myself dying for just mashing XXXX with ninja
im still in the first area but the armor variety is horrible>samurai gets heavy shit>ninja gets light shit>overall the amount of sets just seems lower toohow are you supposed to make a light samurai build or something
i love nioh ost..
Fuck this faggot. "Oh, look at me I'm an Odachi master and I'm gonna spam the same move 30 times with my 1000% ki recovery and do big damage. I'll also block 95% of the time hahahaha"
beautiful...
This guy wasn't that hard but all he fucking did was spam Sign of the Cross over and over and over again like a retard.
>this spot with the crab blasting bubbles>strong attack the crab so hard it floats in the air back into the water and diesI lost my shit here
>>732557162Wow, that’s levels of KINO exploration that fagden ring couldn’t possibly imagine
Kill William. Behead William. Roundhouse kick William into the concrete. Slam dunk Joseph a trashcan. Crucify filthy William. Defecate into William's mouth. Launch William into the sun. Stir fry William in a frier. Toss William into active volcanoes. Urinate into William's sake bottle. Judo throw William into a wood chipper. Twist Willam's head off. Karate chop William in half. Curb stomp pregnant Okatsu. Trap William in a poison pool. Crush William under Gasha Dokuro. Liquefy William in a blood drink. Dissect William. Exterminate William with a gas cloud. Stomp William's skull with retainer boots. Cremate William in the Crucible. Lobotomize William the degenerate. Mandatory zombification for William. Grind Joseph fetus with an axe. Drown William in an Umibozu insides. Vaporize William with a hand cannon. Kick William down the stairs. Feed William to Yoki. Slice William with an axe
Pathetic, Hanzo-dono.
Game is ass, i can see why you guys need to hold each other dick to push trough the garbage.Ninja Gaiden Black died for this btw.
anyone found an odachi onmyo set like in nioh 2 from that hard as fuck fight? im pumping magic to scale my odachi and have fun with spells
>This game is ugl-
>>732557260skill and taste issue
>>732554429>>732554489It does help that if you look at the filters it will spell it out for you as well.
>>732557294havent seen textures like this since the ps1
Sure man whatever
>This game looks ba-
>there's another "Demon of" boss in the 2nd regionFUCK
>>732557339reminds of that shitty brown racing game for the ps3, motocross o algo
>https://nioh3.wiki.fextralife.com/Set+Bonuses>all the good light armor sets are ninja onlythe armor separation was the stupidest fucking choice they could have made

PHOAR XDDDD>It spends the ENTIRE battle making elephant noises, like the big monster version of the Wilhelm ScreamGuys, fuck everything else. THIS is the low point of the game for me. I'd feel less immersion breaking if the damn thing start farting.
>>732549420>Futa Road
>>732557417>theres only a single onmyo set>its ninja onlyL M A OMAO
>>732557356me, right now, with everything on standard or max on a 5080/9800x3d
Does anyone know if the Verstiality mystery skill for Samurai stacks multiple times with attacks like Severing Spin and Swift Step: Heavy? I think it does, but I honestly couldn't tell. If it does then that's pretty broken as you can easily get max stacks. Severing Spin hits, I think, like 5 times? And Swift Step: Heavy hits another 4 times? So, if you alternate between those two then that's max stacks right there.
Demon of Envy indeed less of a bitch like Demon of Pride, but holy shit some of her attacks are hard to read with all the flailing her snakes do around her.
>>732557417>get yorimitsus set without the retarded shoulder pad>its ninja onlyAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
we'll be right back
>>732557590I mean yea the game looks like shit, but at least it runs like shit and is really boring to play
>>732557647how does this work? every time i kill a revenant it tells me the malice is marked and i follow the arrow but get nothing
get raped
>>732551598>I feel like everything is pretty covered.Rifle and Katana for samurai and whip sword for ninja
>Almost 40 hours in >Haven't even fought Shingen Takada yet I'm just having fun going at my pace. I like clearing a map and doing all the side quests before moving on with the story. I'm noticing a lot of people are way farther than I am in the story though...I'm about to fight Shingen though, and the only things I haven't gotten on the first map are the spirit veins that I can't traverse yet, but other than that I've almost 100%'d the entire first map.
idk, guess you're not finding the right spotit just happened to be near the path I was going towardsanyway, he died KWAB
Please dear God someone sell me on a new weapon.I can't play 1kat for an entire game again, I just can't.
>>732557721>>732557830oops sorry meant to reply to you
Everyone died to a single jailer oni
Are there any downright bad weapons?
>>732557838Play axe and bash spam.
>>732557932Axe and Odachi
>>7325579322kat for ninja.
>>732555420I will always use a ninja build in every Nioh game. I'm sorry, but I'm just going to keep doing it
I didn't use Omnyo magic at all in Nioh 2 and I don't think I'll be using it in Nioh 3 either. I'm probably gimping myself, but magic in Nioh always felt weird to me. I like RP'ing as a samurai with a katana anyway, so I guess that's just my brand of autism. I know I cleared Nioh 2 with just 1kat/2kat and physical skills, maybe used Omnyo buff magic, but I never invested in it or used damaging magic.
>>732557417I'm pretty sure this is very simple to fix with mods and will be among the first ones to gain major traction
>>732558082Bro at least use lightning for the crabs to kill them quickly.
Back attacked a mob and sneak thief made it drop a smithing book. Killing it made it drop it again.Thought the drops you got from it were more random than this honestly.
>>732557594when you use a skill, you gain a stack. one stack per skill. the higher the stacks, the faster it'll fall off, plus you'll run out of skills to refresh it with anyway.i'm personally curious about the numbers. in 2 it was amazing, one of the best effects in the game. they might have toned it down here, or at this from this source of it. the descriptions mentions a stronger version.
>>732555420Played mostly ninja in the beginning but switched to samurai after for the fists
>>732558048I disagree, that's what I'm using and it's fun. Drifting Counter works on Yokai and it's probably one of the few, if not only parries that works on ALL Yokai, also SPIN TO WIN. I personally don't care for Ninja stance or any of the Ninja weapons, also I've noticed you take WAY more damage in Ninja stance, so you have to be confident about your evading/dodging skills. I've died in two hits to some elite enemies in Ninja stance, but Samurai stance took way less damage from the same hit. >>732558158Haven't gotten to crab enemies yet, but I'll keep that in mind. I know it's better to use certain elements to quickly kill certain enemies, like the water blob things that instantly die to fire damage. Unless you're talking about the crab enemies on the first map, then I just slashed them to death with my 1kat, wasn't even aware they were weak to lightning, but good to know. I guess using a magic build is nice if you know which enemy is weak against what element, probably dies much faster to it. >>732558262It's possible your luck/drop rate is fairly high? Idk just theorizing. I know you can pump your luck and equipment drop rate up quite a bit passively. >>732558282So, you don't get multiple stacks for each hit on one skill? That's lame, probably won't use it if that's the case.
>>732555420um
Can't wait to unlock my second weapon slot. I'm a 1kat main, but it'll be nice to switch to fists or 2kat just to switch things up, or combo between them. It sucks you go the entire first map/area with just one weapon for each style.
>>732558037odachi low stance has forever and will forever be my baby
>>732558369>also I've noticed you take WAY more damage in Ninja stance, so you have to be confident about your evading/dodging skills. I've died in two hits to some elite enemies in Ninja stance, but Samurai stance took way less damage from the same hit.might be an armor issue too. i switched to A toughness B agility in ninja right before the last fight of heian and i've noticed a lot cases of getting wtfpwned in ninja. but yes, still pretty squishy.>That's lame, probably won't use it if that's the case.it's designed to encourage you to utilize your full kit, not just the 2 or 3 most effective moves. but you don't have to use it, there's plenty of other ways to spend your points.
>>732557642That's Yoshitsune's armor.
>really like the weeb reverse grip 1kat style of ninja>no ki pulse>no deflecting>relies on rollslop to avoid damagewhy did they do this
>>732557721Did you keep killing revenants along the path, you need to triangulate the location by using multiple arrows
I seem to have posted this on the troll thread, halp? >>732558040
>>732558650>you need to triangulate the location by using multiple arrowssure seems tedious as fuck. is there any tangible rewards for it beyond some purple gear?
>>732558592Well, I'm using Iga set mostly on my Ninja right now, but I really don't like Ninja style, so I don't use it that much. I figured as a Ninja you should use light armor that lets you move fast? I didn't really think to use heavy armor in Ninja style, or something that slows me down. It probably is an armor issue though but figured using a Ninja set like Fuma or Iga was good for an early Ninja set.
>>732558082Onmyo in 1 and 2 was broken as hell, even if you were using one of the weaker builds like a fire build. I did, I had a fire switchglaive/hatchet build and only the higher levels of the depths stopped it from utterly wrecking shit. There's a lot of power hidden in the mage side of things and it has everything to do with confusion.
>>732555996they would literally overthrow the whole arpg market if they did it right, also not many if any asian fantasy arpgs...also graphics dont have to be the best since isometric games have huge fov and TN is obv terrible in this depratment
>>732558592>and i've noticed a lot cases of getting wtfpwned in ninja*a lot less cases, woops
>lightning shot, the basic lightning offensive spell comes from the giant long neck enemies that dont respawn>you just kinda have to pray you get it when you kill one>fire shot comes from wheelmonks>ive seen one wheelmonk in 20+ hours>wind shot comes from tengus>ive seen zero tengus in 20+ hourswhy the fuck did they magic the basic magic so hard to get
>>732558643Because ninjas are not the kind of dudes who block attacks and grit their teeth
>a forest>look inside>kamaitachi
>>732558643>needing parryslopsorry bro, us ninjas are hardcore gamersjump on the enemy and slash him down while dodging
>>732558717Also if the gear has anything to help you with Onmyo shit you can just blast shit endlessly, especially in Nioh 1. And every normal enemy dies in one [elemental] Shot onmyo cast
>>732558690Uh not really I guess, maybe some glory currency, I just like fighting it. They also don't spawn very often, I've been playing for like 8 hours today and I killed one at the start of my session and no more have spawned, it could be a daily thing or tied to story progression I'm not sure. But yeah killing revanants always creates a new arrow on the map pointing to where it is, it shouldn't take long if you have all the fast travel points
>>732558770>ninjas do not skillfully deflect blades during combat>they just awkwardly dash around
>>732558643They took 1kat and 2kat gave them "ninja" specific weapons with the same techniques basically. It's retarded. There are some unique moves specifically for ninja sword and dual ninja sword, but not very many. I don't like any of the Ninja weapons personally, but I'm considering experimenting with Splitstaff. Hatchets are honestly kind of fun if you can get good at the combos.My issue is the stat scaling, as a 1kat main I pump a lot of my points in Heart, and not many Ninja weapons scale with Heart. You really need to invest in Skill, so I'd have to like spilit my points between Heart and Skill, which I kind of don't want to do. There is a Reforge option at the blacksmith, but it appears it can only be used on purple level equipment only, or only certain kinds of equipment? It'd be easier if I can just reforge like a hatchet or splitstaff to scale with Heart instead of Skill. The only Ninja weapons that fucking scales with Heart is dual ninja swords and talons.
>>732558856>There is a Reforge option at the blacksmith, but it appears it can only be used on purple level equipment onlythis stops being an issue after like 10 hours because youre pretty much only using purple shit anyways
>>732558369>also I've noticed you take WAY more damage in Ninja stanceNo shit?
>>732558832Untouched Onmyo BETTER be in 3, I love being a master blaster, I intend to do it again here. Eventually, for now it's the usual NG of just equip highest attack/defense.
>>732558918Yeah? And that's why I don't like using it. >>732558901I don't actually know the requirements, as some purple gear can't be reforged and some can. It's odd. I haven't quite figured out how that works yet.
which thread are we moving to I have a question
>>732557294why does current realistic artstyle look so bad compared to older games like witcher 3?
Anyone notice that a lot of these revenants have absolute shit for gear? Do normies not realize this is a loot filled ARPG? What the fuck is a lvl 91 revenant doing with lvl 8 gear?
>>732558856i think every ninja weapon besides tonfa scales with either intellect or magic as well, so you could just pick one that scales with intellect and pump that since it doesn't matter which out of the 3 stats you level.
>>732558951it has to have + on it. you'll find gear and when you see its level it might be 32 (+1)
>>732558984But I'm not really using any spells or magic? So I kind of just always ignored intellect and magic stats. I thought that was mostly for Omnyo builds? I guess I could test it out since you can respec for free as many times as you want.
>>732558832>>732558927there is a single onmyo set in the game and its ninja stance onlyyes thats real
>>732558994Ahhhh I have noticed that +1 gear, wasn't sure what that meant. Good to know. Thanks.
>>732559030intellect is buff duration and ki regen (more than heart), which can serve the same purpose as leveling heart as more ki regen isn't much different to more raw ki.
>>732559106Woah, really? Damn. If that's the case then I'll just take all my Heart points and dump them into Intellect, of course some gear gives buffs that scale with your Heart stat, so depends on the armor set, but could always switch between them if I want to wear a certain armor set.
>>732547715>>732547743Your contrast is fucked up dude
>>732558037>axewrong it's overpowered as shit now thanks to MAs
Bakumatsu > Sengoku > Heian
>>732559201I thought it looked fine? But I'll play around with it.
>>732559174>whoa reallyhave you really never put (unconfirmed) points into every stat to see what each did
>>732558761All of those enemies are generic mobs in the second map dont fret.
>>732558037>axeaxe is beyond cracked with the addition of Frost Moon pulse attacks and Art Proficiency chains
>>732559285>30+ hours to get the spells you get in the first 10 minutes of the other two gamesis this a joke
loving the ninja drip
>>732559220Yamatai > Bakumatsu > Sengoku > Heian
>>732559220No shit. It's why they saved Bakamatsu as the final era...probably. It goes from most boring to most exciting. >>732559228I beat Nioh 1 and Nioh 2, and I know this will sound retarded/amazing, but I literally was so boring and stuck in my ways that I only put points into stats that I knew I was going to use. I know the game tells you what each stat actually does/affects, but since it's INTELLECT. I assumed it had more to do with MAGIC/MAGES, so I stayed away from it. I always focused on Heart, Stamina, Skill, and a bit of Constitution. I didn't invest anything into MAGIC and INTELLECT.
>>732551389FUCK IT, WE THUNDERBOLTFUCK IT, WE THUNDERBOLTFUCK IT, WE THUNDERBOLT
>>732559305You get the superior lightning AoE spell in the first region so I don't see the problem.
>>732551389find a stance you likefind a martial art you likehit buttonsdeflect
>>732559312>loving the ninja dripif this was any other nioh game it would just be the drip and you wouldnt be fucking forced to be in ninja stance im so annoyed
fightingcowboy saying that this game is leagues ahead of Nioh 2 is all I had to heargame is actual dogshit, now I know for sure
Never thought I'd like 1kat but the ninja 1kat is fucking great.
>>732559576mechanically the game actually is leagues ahead of 2. ive had more fun with the combat this ng cycle than i did any cycle of nioh 2. the only step back is the separation of armors and the early difficulty so far imo
>>732557590>5080>can't do ultralying?
>>732559576>big man like thing?>that mean...thing bad!
>>732559562maybe they should've added some yuro medieval armor to even the drip if they actually wanted to commit to the separation but alas
>>732559842>yuro medieval armorno faggot kill yourself
