Licky lick.
>>732810489>even during the Nioh 2 levels in the "present" where William wakes you upisn't it literally 1 level and 100% of the enemies present are yokai (other than the william boss fight)?
where do you find the fire shuriken and upgraded shrapnel bomb? Those are the only ninjutsu I'm missing
>>732812234Is this hide?
>>732812234>time travel>still no Uesugi Kenshin fightThis better be fucking DLC with how Takeda is a story boss.
>>732812401There's a side mission where you look for his son (it's full of yokai)
Where do I get cheats for this
>>732812689No, its Patrick

Best oni.Also where do I get gunsticks?>>732812619Upgraded shrapnel bomb was from early Bakumatsu IIRC. Or one of the last few accessible areas in Heian.

>>732812234Is there actually a side quest with Ibaraki or was I lied to?
I'm going to FUCK this thing

Nioh 3 blends deep Shinto and Buddhist philosophies with an authentic dark fantasy retelling of Japan’s Bakumatsu period, grounding its supernatural elements in shared regional history.>Nioh 3 has drawn more heavily from the broader souls-like audience than from its own direct predecessor. While loyalty remains high, with 66.6% of Steam players and 69.0% of PlayStation players having played Nioh 2, it is no longer the primary source of the audience.

>>732814667the chinese love killing the japanese
wtf, demon of envy is kicking my ass. game was baby mode for 20 hours and now there's this sudden wall
>>732815341>throw a lifeleech talisman at her>stack damage reduction>hold y to thunderbolt when she's close>if she moves away a little bit press a a hold y to cascading wave
>>732815206okay that one is pretty goodI mostly zoned out during his fight because I was already not crazy about Bakumatsu being a big period after RotR and thought Takasugi was a huge faggot in that gamethe thing that keeps sticking out to me from the music is the mongolian whistling or whatever it is in the Demon boss theme, because I know its a fucking stock music effect and some Tales game used the same thing a decade ago. Bugged the shit out of me then because its annoying, hated hearing it again
>>732814315excuse me nigger? nioh games have some incredible boss and story tracks
Does Todo go to A like in previous games or does it stay at C in 3? I'm asking because it's not moving.
Feels like I'm playing a continuation of Nioh 2. Went straight back to my bread and butter high moon combo and I'm demolishing everything. Why even use the ninja. Too many icons on the map. Let met get lost
>>732816132You can disable all icons on your map
>>732815653They're good but not memorable. Probably too complex. Sephiroth's theme is like 5 notes.
>>732816132>Why even use the ninjafree confusiontapping the ninja dodge button has the fastest traversal speed of any land based movement
>these things were actually realniggaz be shootin cannonballs at each other
I thought I saw people saying you get Oda's spirit guardian in Heian but I haven't found it
>>732816362it's in bakumatsu
>>732816362you get ho / oh in heian (boss rush) and kenjaku in bakumatsu (scroll quest)
Anyone else disappointed in the complete lack of guardian spirits? When they announced 3 was gonna be open world I figured we were gonna have tons of spirits return from 1 and 2 with new spirits all over the place to find and instead there's about 10 spirits in total.
>>732816518not only am i not impressed by the lack of them i am not a fan of them being fucking split into samurai and ninja
武智は一体何をするつもりなんだ?
>>732816630WE WUZ SHOGUNS N SHIET
>>732814315From my experience, there's only been a few bits of music that have really stood out to me.I also stopped caring about the story after Nioh 1.Though I still love Nioh 2 and 3.
>>7328165183 doesn't reuse enough, especially given that it's plot is literally time travel.
>>732816650https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yriUHpRBBic&tAnd I forgot the music I wanted to link.
>>732816679They're saving up the rest of it for the DLC
>>732816630My naga
>>732810193Boy are you going to hate it when they start using "GOOD YOKAI" in the subs.
>no more granny yokais in the 1st crucibleWhy
>get summoned>other visitor oneshots the boss with a spellcool. wasn't even a chinese name
>>732816792There is almost no level capping with Nioh online. Never has been. If you summon someone, as long as they've beaten that mission, they can be summoned. That means you can summon a level 1 challenge run schizo or a level 700 autist with a min/maxed build.Nioh has always been like this too. Summoning is basically approved cheating by the devs.
remember when nioh had soulhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3t532E8Cio
>>732816650>>732816719Nioh 1 unironically actually had a good story even if it was just William being inserted into historical events it worked because he had his own motivations for going around Japan and helping rando nips out. His theme track is also a banger.https://youtu.be/Jv5EGoSm0o4?si=zFvJENW8wamG7GYR
>>732816871also I thought coop would be the way to farm gloryguess not (this was a full crucible)
>>732817282You might not have noticed, but you get Glory during the map constantly. The end table doesn't show it, but it's usually a couple hundred if it's a full map. Though only 20 or so if it's just a boss.Even still, revenants will still be a better way to farm Glory regardless. But I still find co-op funner, even if it's retarded.
>>732817185>that music during Williams spirit cutscene
Nice 1800 year old waifu that has been waiting for you bro. It would be a shame if someone showed up and railed her before you went back to the origin point and realized who she is.
>>732814667>Alinea analyticsStopped reading there
>>732817282you probably end up with a bunch from trading all the loot you picked up in coop to the tea man
few drinks in and I still facetanked this with like 6 elixirs leftI AMTHE WALL
>>732814667Tf does the last point even mean? That it has a lot of new players?
>check the DLC names in the store>you will order the crucifixion and burning of Papistwilliam tells you to do it
>we need an enemy>ok boss, what should it do>nothing>coming right up
>>732817625they're saying that new players (33% of the audience) are now the primary audiencewhich is retarded since the primary audience is actually the 66% of players who have owned and played nioh 1 and 2
>mfw finally got a 1kat crucible weapon with sword of meditation.It's no thunderbolt but it will do.
>>732817661it's got an annoying grab attack i've been caught by a few times

not even close baby

guys is ninja mode ever hard required to progress the game? i dont want to use it as its too strong
>>732817930HOLY AXE

Actually got a driver timeout 30 hours in.
the shit this boss got me doing just to fucking beat it
>>732818393I feel like yours be better off getting some armor.
>people are shitting on the dubIt's actually decent to pretty good. It's just why do japanese people have a british accent
*beats the shit out of you and leaves you on the side of the road*nothin personel
>>732817725wait can anyone confirm this?I hadn't gotten the game yet either because performance was too shit
The very very end of chapter 1 and start of chapter 2 is so much better so far than the slog that was majority of chapter 1.There was no need for shit to unlock so slowly. Forget slowly, it feels like NOTHING unlocks until chapter 2.Literally "it gets good 25 hours in".
>>732818717devs don't do "accents" for dubs anymore, they just hire fucking anyone. This, Stalker 2, Titan Quest 2, all sound wrong in english
>>732818393this is why axe remains the best weapon>one stat>gives you apeshit damage>lets you wear the heaviest armor without being slow>give you up>even gives extra def because why not>tons of "scale with stamina" effects thrown around everywhere
>>732818856odachi scales with stamina though
>>732818856we need to nerf axe to the ground again
>>732817941No (besides the tutorial) I beat the entire game as 1kat samurai and I had fun
>>732818884odachi also happens to be a based weapon too, who knew?Axe scales the most with stamina though
>>732818856And claws scale with stamina. And Todo still synergises (the ki damage clan might be a better choice this time thougheverbeit).
>same engine>heavy armor with shoulder shields dont fold down like RoTR
>>732818893>againthey've never nerfed axe LMAOIt was buffed in nioh 2 (and was absolutely insane in it) AND THEY BUFFED IT AGAIN IN 3
>>732818956nah todo is based for maxed unga
>>732818980debating giving RotR another shot after nioh 3 only because the fashion is so good
Is Nioh 2 worth playing? I want to play Nioh 2 and Ninja Gaiden Black
>>732819189its the best one
>>732819101It's not worth it
Bros... they totally BUTCHERED Iai and Sign of the Cross this time round... I use Sword of Meditation for unga bunga'ing but it just not the same... please buff the unsheath attacks again Team NinGODS... I already bought your deluxe edition game...
>>732819336Yeah, Iai suck ass in Nioh 3.I remember doing paralyze one shot builds with Iai in Nioh 1 and 2, but with how weak it is here, it doesn't feel like it's possible.
Name 3 weapons that WON in nioh 3name 3 weapons thast LOST in nioh 3
>>732819336>Bros... they totally BUTCHERED Iai and Sign of the Cross this time round... I use Sword of Meditation for unga bunga'ing but it just not the same... please buff the unsheath attacks again Team NinGODS...

>>732812234I was promised more pics of whatever this hot bitch is, and you chucklefucks are talking about story instead
>>732819464That damage is so delicious. I will never get tired of doing backwave to Iai in Nioh 2.
>>732819336Pretty sure you can still get insane damage out of them if you stack up all the damage bonuses from your equipment and soul cores.
Insane how much damage I've lost without gun tonfas. I was already breezing through the game with light > devastation from behind and to think I could be doing 50% more damage if they weren't faggots by killing it off.
>>732819456>Won1Kat, Axe, Tonfa>LostSplitstaff, that's it
Performance any better since release?
>>732819464whats the build for this? i only ever built for fists and ninjutsu
Is the mid frost moon a universal parry?
>>732819472Calm down I finally got to her and took some pics just now
i hope they add janomecho again at some point, that was my fav guardian spirit
>>732812689No it's Dr. Jekyll
>>732819764no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who at TN loves her so much that she is like the one npc that exists purely for side quests that isn't a ghost?
>>732818856Remodel is a thing
What are some good combos for spear?
>Tutorial explicitly states your character isn't that good at fighting>Once you go back in time you're somehow the only person there that can fight Yokai
What is the justification for life corrosion as a mechanic?
>>732819962Her quest wouldn't quite work if she were a ghost considering it's helping her out in her doctor job.
>>732819990just spam martial arts when you glow white
>>732820030Someone on TN played Demon's Souls remake
>>732818893I think you should be thrown to the Gakis desu.
>>732812736>they add Uesugi Kenshin but follow that one batshit theory and make Kenshin a hot lady
I thought he was supposed to be my best bro. Then he fucked my immortal wife.
>>732820027It's not because of your strength that you're the only one who can fight them, anon. Didn't you notice that you need to use the amrita sword to enter the crucible and that the lady samurai who looks like a lesbian new zealander doesn't follow you into it?
>>732819789I can't remember, and fist weapons don't exist in Nioh 1.
>>732819813Man she looks so good on the upper part of her face, why did they give her the chinese stache.
>>732820243didnt see it was nioh 1. completely forgot you can just use different character models as appearance in 1. though it was a hiddy
>>732814667Its not the bakumatsu though
>>732820219When you see Honda Tadakatsu inside the second crucible he literally says he's not capable of fighting Yokai (I'm assuming he means the non-shitter ones).and he's the strongest guy on the Tokugawa side.
>>732820129Would unironically kill for cute Uesugi so Christkiller-chan can look cute as a samurai.
>>732814667You'll never see major devs making big projects linear again because open world makes the average person buying games go all googly eyed the same way rollercoaster setpieces and cinematic sequences do.
>>732820325The boss is Sanada Yukimura who doesn't appear in Nioh 2 or 3.
>>732820134NIGGA YO A FUKIN SHOGUN WHY THE FUCK YOU GOTTA CHOSE THE 1000 YEAR OLD USED GOODS GRANNY
>>732820465sorry for not being able to remember every japaniggas name anon
Sell me on your favorite weapon with a video
>>732820531Bit hard not to when he's one of the major antagonists of the DLC, and one of the best bosses in the game.
Kek that image op posted in the last thread to fix performance worked. I barely notice the downgrades in graphics but I think that's just cause the game is uglier than 1 and 2 in general but it runs a lot better now
>>732820408I interpreted it as he can't fight on in the crucible and the earlier statements were more about you being the only one available or the only one who can enter the crucibles at all. Rather than you being a shitter, I think it's more like Takechiyo didn't finish their training and aren't experienced. Either way it's fine, really. I mean, William started with no Katana training too iirc.
Just like Nioh 2 I have no idea what I'm doing so path of balance it is.
>>732820607i only remember him as the spear guy with janomecho. thats all he is to me
>>732820792Okay.
Man, the other areas weren't too bad in terms of performance, but the Bakumatsu runs like shit, especially after clearing the crucible, it keeps getting stuttering and assets loading in slowly after teleporting which wasn't a problem in any of the other areas.
>>732820823thank you for understanding
>>732812234Where the hell can I farm umbracite? I managed to beat Hiruko (demon lord variant) and started NG+ but jesus I didn't think they would make basic bitch umbracite so rare. Also that whole fight feels like bullshit, like there's a debuff that makes all attacks take more ki than the norm.
>>732820792Personally I don't remember anybody at all until I see their helmets. Like a man staring at boobs in the open, my eyes just glue to their foreheads whenever they're speaking.
>>732821026there are some dudes i will remember the names of but i mostly just remember the design and the spirits they had, if any.
ezclap
https://www.nippon.com/en/japan-topics/c10801/>After becoming shōgun, Iemitsu was not initially blessed with children. His wife Takako was the daughter of the kanpaku (regent) Takatsukasa Nobufusa, but they soon quarreled and spent little time together. Iemitsu was also apparently more interested in homosexual encounters with pages than in seeking out other women. Damn, Edo-era bussies are that good huh?
>>732820408I just assume that they can't fight inside the crucible because of the life corrosion effect which only you can dispel.At full corrosion you turn into a yokai just like what happened to Yoshitsune.
I mid stance.I only mid stance.I will only ever mid stance.
a guardian spirit to rival kongojishi, p nice
>>732821212Holy based. Roasties in shambles.
>>732819643>Pretty sure you can still get insane damage out of them if you stack up all the damage bonuses from your equipment and soul cores.It isn't about damage, it's about mechanics you love being removed in the next entry.
>>732821278based if 1katgay if anything else.
i beat the game bros. no visitors/co-op, no sloth! dont think i have it in me for ng+ sadly, maybe bench the game until complete edition?
>>732821436time to go back to underworld grinding in nioh 2
So the story once again was >evil guy isnt actually evil because>this ancient evil demon posesses the poor guy and compels him to do evil stuff? Holy fuck the japs have no imagination.
>>732821278Elden Ring player?
>>732821531i put 400hrs into nioh 2, cleared everything there, probably in my top 5 games of all time
>>732821535>once againThat wasn't the plot of the first game, and the second game's evil ancient demon was both the main villain himself and simply evil because he's evil.
what do I do with all the garbage the game gives me? i hate inventory clutter.
>>732821781Either offer it at a shrine for Amrita or disassemble it at the blacksmith.
>>732821781Go to your settings, turn on auto disassemble, set it to commons or uncommons or more depending on how far you are into the game.
>>732821278Holy fuck I love being a low stance 1kat GOD.
Is splitstaff good at high levels? I've been using 1kat for ninja since flying behind everything is too broken.
>>732812234
>>732821781The gear you pick up is both equipment and smithing materials. Everything you don't want just deconstruct. When you start coming across divine gear, those materials become a thing for upgrading.
>>732816356Some guy was making a modern one a few years ago when Biden made an offhanded comment about how you don't need a cannon for home defense, they're pretty fucking neato.
>>732821607how about 400 more
>>732818813They should have just made the entirety of chapter 1 the demo
>>732819101RotR is solid, but I was admittedly carried by how absolutely busted Iai stance is to the point it completely negates the rock-paper-scissors mechanic behind the stance system.
>>732821957I'm on NG+, I picked a splitstaff as one of my grace pieces but the full moveset isn't flowing together. I'll keep experimenting before giving up on it, the worst part of it is the aerial combat is underutilized and the mid-air quick attacks don't allow you to jump off the enemy indefinitely like other weapons.
Has anyone else had issues with boss AI bugging out? Usually human or human-shaped bosses. I fought Yoshitsune a couple of times and when he goes into his Demon Realm phase and jumps onto the lanterns, he would get stuck in a backflipping animation and just let me hit him with arrows/shuriken until his Ki was depleted. There was another boss too I can't remember where they did an aerial attack and got stuck in their falling animation but the game was registering it as me doing damage if I got near them so their health just depleted while they were stuck in the air.
>>732814315There are some great tracks but the problem with such games is that they are mostly used only for boss fights during which I don't really pay attention to the OST.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shCX2-dZXc0
>>732822612https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1IDG14OJSkI'm glad 3 still keeps the banger tradition
>>732822612That's when you notice it the most since it elevates the fights though, I was practically humming Tokichiro 2 and Otakemaru while fighting them.
>>732822662>it's the jojo anime composer>main villain has Dio's VA
so how is NG+?
i dont understand how people have fun going through the game for the first time with two visitors, im joining randoms and bosses are basically stunlocked the entire time and do none of their moves
>>732822886It's Demon basically.The final level is kino, lots of enemies including like 10 jobber bosses and 5 itsumades
>>732822886Can't say till dlc drop since they bring enemies from dlc on ng+ cycle and add depth/underground
>>732812234Thanks for beta testing and funding dlc :)
>>732822886They skipped Way of the Strong this time.
>>732821310Ieyasu's set let's you double dip into Ho-oh (samurai) and Ho-oh (ninja) which might make for a decent onmyo build.
Anyone found any solution to the extremely high CPU use in this game?It actually runs very well for me on ultra settings but heats up my CPU to almost 100 degrees, which can't be good in the long term.I have a Ryzen 9800
>>732823419literally just limit the cpu output to 99%
>>732822957I see numbers flash on the screen and my PP hard.
nice lava
>>732823419>100 degreesits over, something wrong on your end, game has been open for like 12hrs and just loaded hwinfo to check my temps
>>732819962Honda, Yoshitsune and Tomoe appear in side quests without being ghosts
>>732820630QRD?Do you have the image?
How the fuck do I leave a mission? I'm stuck in Four Heavenly Kings and there's no shrine and no button to leave on the map.
>>732823882Well they're not dead, so that helps.
>>732818717>why do japanese people have a british accentwhy are they speaking english
>>732824014system menu, near the bottom next to quit to title is the leave battle option
>>732824191Genuinely dumb as fuck they'd have it there, why is it buried under 2 different menus?
>>732814315Nioh 1 and 2 have amazing OSTs, 3's is good but not on the same level as 1 and 2.
>>732812619RIP. Fire shuriken was the first one I found and it's so useful.>Do you want to join the fray?Sure buddy I'll join your clan or whatever.
>>732817661I kinda like these fellows though
Do we know what the DLCs will be about yet?I believe 1 kind of hinted at it with the ending that war was coming and Birriam went back to Japan to help out and I think we knew 2 was going to be some first samurai thing.
where is he?
>>732816132Ninja doesn't have to do the retarded ki pulse and can attack more than 3 times without running out of ki.
>>732820030Even fighting bosses it's basically a non-issue. It goes away when you kill something, or use your special ability or heal which you do anyway because the corrosion means you lost health.
>Fire Foot Drill JumpI'm cumming
>>732824517>retarded ki pulseanon its ok we understand you have a really hard time timing it
Anyone else have issues sometimes where the game just will not let you use items at all?It's baffling. I press the button use medicine and the game registers the button press, the menu icon lights up, I hear the jingle, but the character does nothing, even if I keep pressing it it just does nothing. I have to do something like an attack or a dodge for the game to let me use items again.
>>732815242>Didn't Nioh 1 sell 1 million in a week or something despite being PS exclusive?No, it took 2-3 weeks.
>>732821957Feels too slow to me but that's using level 9 crucible weapon to learn moves in the level 35 area.
>>732825031Same issue. It's really weird since sometimes I'm just strafing the enemy and walking around waiting for my ki to recover when that happens.
>>732822957Some people are absolutely terrible at these games but feel the need to play and beat them anyway, so they have to run through the entire thing with a squad.And I’m not knocking co-op of you just want to play with your buddies, but I mean there’s some people who should just admit the game isn’t for them. I remember seeing some guy on the steam forums complaining that he was stuck in the first boss for over 6 hours and at that point it’s time to pack it up buddy.
>>732821212This is what they say about every losing faction's leader. History is a joke like CNN.
>>732820756Weapons have 3 stats listen on them based on their type. Ninjutsu uses skill. Omyo uses magic. Pump whatever stat gives you damage and don't bother with the rest other than equipment requirements. The level up screen shows what your equipment requires at the bottom.
>>732820630>>732823891There isn't one in the last thread. Game runs like shit. I turned everything down to disable frame gen just to make sure inputs aren't being eaten and random spots without enemies run the worst for some reason.
>>732824952When I'm done attacking it's because I have other buttons to press to not get hit.
>>732825504you know theres a passive that allows you to ki pulse when dodging
mfw the lack of armor sets for me to enjoy in nioh 3although crimson general and hollyhock sets are nice new ones, its only 2. there is too many recoloooooouuuuurs and the historical armor is kinda boring
what's the item that teleports you to the host? i see other people use it meanwhile i gotta run across the mission
WHY IS THE INTERIM SO EMPTYWHERE ARE ALL MY NPC BROS?ALL I GET ARE THE BARE ESSENTIALS AND THE FUCKING.. SHIT EATER!?!?
>>732825195I spent 3 hours on the first boss. It's way harder than anything else in the first 30 hours. Everything about it is counter-intuitive. You have to completely outrange his attacks or you have no ki to attack back when he gives an opening. Countering the red attack is mostly pointless and requires counting to 3 after you see it start. That's insanely long to delay what should be a reflex reaction.Also you have about 10 healing items going into it and don't know they drop from every enemy and you can just use them freely.Jumping is also counter-intuitive. I didn't see how OP that was until the level 35 revenant that spawns when you get rid of the huge sea monster. Fucker could just block me all day and jump attacks made him eat shit.
>>732825759You get all the pussy your heart could desire, why are you so mad?
>>732825730They removed more good armor than they added.
>>732812234endgame feels horrible this time around. why in the world can't i craft green tier weapons? what were they thinking?
>>732825536Good point. Gave up on samurai at the tutorial boss.
>>732825730I wore that green swordsman robe for like 70% of the game and never liked any other outfit until I got Yoshitsune's
>>732812689Yeah, I'd definitely love to hide between those breasts.
>>732824437shimabara id bet
>>732825971I wonder why they refused to give ANY of himiko's outfits at all because they were afraid that people with male avatars would wear them and the oldfucker koushibusawa would throw a fit
>>732826150You can get her Bakumatsu outfit thoughbeit.
YOU JUST LIKE YOSHITSUNE'S SET BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU BIGGER BOOOOBSSS
>>732826176I havent seen it
>>732825792I think it's less so the first boss is counter-intuitive and more the fact you have jack shit for tools/skills/moves and have as much defense as a piece of paper. I ended up baiting his attacks and raping him in ninja mode in short bursts before going back to baiting more of his attacks, and then DPS raced him at the end with Living Artifact mode. Though, literally no other boss in the game I've encountered so far has a similar rhythm to that faggot fuck Yamagata Masakage.
>>732826150they could just have gender specific variants
The new endgame is farming crafting materials to get the right stats onto gear and also having the money to do it. I can only hope you can craft divine gear later into NG+.
>>732826305>Crafting>in niohReally now?
>>732826289and have to let the trannylators have a stroke and have to pay for REPORATIONS? it is still kinda funny how they cant break the laws of time and force yasuke in this time period just because its took fucking early for him to be anywhere near japan
>>732826363been in nioh since the first game
>>732826363Please talk to my wife Senji Toyo-chan :(
Compared to Pride that was way easier.
>>732826403It is but it was always useless since farming equipment is much more faster.
>>732826381>it is still kinda funny how they cant break the laws of time and force yasuke in this time period99% sure I found the grave of some random fuck named Yasuke, but it wasn't the OBSIDIAN SAMURAI since the faggot revenant was using a tristaff.
How do I find the poop loving guy in the hub? I swear I’ve ran around the whole thing multiple times and can’t find out how to get to him.
>>732826639Check the blacksmith again
Just beat it, hardest part of the game wasn't the bosses it was finding those damned Crucible Wraiths while in the Crucible. They were hiding in the wackest places. Always behind some torn up wall that looks like you can't get over it.>>732826639ladder behind blacksmith
>>732826639Look in a mirror onii-chan.
>>732826514Envy and Obsession are noticeably easier, because you're facing them at a level that is more appropriate to face them at. Obsession you might even be a little overleveled when you face it. Cool design though.
>>732826663>>732826669Thank you. Didn’t even think about going behind her.>>732826684Hey
>>732826639>ew this place is filled with shit, help me get home to MY shitfilled pool>diesWhat the fuck was his problem?
>>732825759TAKECHIYO IS A FUCKING NERD WHO READS BOOKS AND FUCKS BUSSYHE DOESN'T GET TO HAVE ANY FRIENDS EXCEPT POOP MAN
>>732826738I'm like a Gaki. I see low-hanging fruit, I go for it.
>>732812234so, to the important questionsdo you fuck any yokai as ni oh 2 has envisioned?
>>732826832You play as a known boy fucker historically, so probably not.
>my brother backstabs me to steal my place as shogun>so i have to go back 400 years to stop himHuh?
>>732825759>Hide's interim has all his best friends, many of his enemies, his mother, a few animals>Takechiyo's interim is just three of his trainers and two people who somehow got transferred there from Hide's place
>>732826864When do we get some otoko no ko yokai then.
Where the fuck was Hiddy during all this time?William makes sense, but Hiddy..?
>>732818980just started this game after getting a bit bored of nioh 3's ng+what am i in for?
>mfw seeing the true face of a Bakegani for the first timeI actually laughed out loud, I never noticed that before.
>>732826890>>732826897Hiddy is such a gigachad that I feel really bad for making Takky a rip-off of my Nioh 2 Hiddy. Takechiyo was secretly Hiddy's retarded child and this is why you only have a quarter of the autism power, because your character traded it in for the gift of speech.
>>732826978What's so funny?
>>732826969its a bit more laid back then nioh, but it does have a lot of movesets which are totally not balanced at all
>>732827036Look at the model's belly in the character viewer. He's a scared boi
>>732827021
>>732826939Hide would be wandering around the land with Mumyo during the 1620s. In the 1570s Hide was campaigning with Nobunaga, in the 1200s Hide only showed up briefly and later than Takechiyo (Hide appears when Yoshitsune dies), and by the 1860s the timeline would be so fucked by crucible shit that it can't be reconciled with what we know.
>>732827090Hide time traveled, obviously.
>>732819962>one npc that exists purely for side quests that isn't a ghost?Same guy must fucking love Meestar Glover too.
>>732826939What can Hiddy do? His dagger only connected him with very specific periods in time related to his mother and uncle. He probably had his hands full just trying to stop demonic invasion. To unfuck the world you needed Dr Who powers like Takechiyo.
Splitstaff is so shit at actually doing ki/damage but the moves are so nice
>>732812234ah
>Japan is a demonic hellhole with only one city left that isn't as bad.>The whole land is diseased, rotten and just going into a crucible will pretty much kill you instantly (at best).>Despite all this, there's still some chucklefuck that comes all the way to Kyoto just to sell cannonsWhat the fuck is wrong with *nglos!?
>>732812234Everything I feared when I heard this game was going to be open world pretty much came to pass.I don't understand what is gained by making people run around a giant map for hours and spamming collectables everywhere. Even worse, the later is actually upgrades and unlocks you want, so you have to go out of your way to grab them all.This game also has the weakest story out of the three despite giving the player a more strongly defined character than a mute who could only draw a knife had the character "hide" on it
>>732827208Kusanagi had the time traveling powers, and he only appeared to use them to send Takechiyo to specific points in time to combat the spread of the Crucible. He doesn't really have any actual control over it, the little dog creature does.
Hattori Hanzo every two minutes:>I wish Anjin were here...>You remind me of a certain blue-eyed samurai, heh.>William-dono..Literally me.
>>732815206This was the only time in the game I really enjoyed the sound track and it was over almost immediately.So yeah, this exception doesn't make the rest not lame
why do people say this game is easier than 1 and 2I breezed through 1 and 2 but i'm getting filtered hard here
>>732827310The man was from Scotland, walking around the Crucible to him was probably a slight improvement to his homeland's condition.
>>732827409That was a very Japanese looking Scotsman.
Is this game upscalingslop?
>>732821652tokichiro was the villain of 2 and it was because of the evil demon who's evil just because. kunimatsu is the villain of 3 and it's because of an evil demon who's evil just because. it's the exact same fucking thing, only difference is kunimatsu wasn't as major a historical figure as toyotomi fucking hideyoshi.
>>732827397I think once you figure out what shit works, just keep at it. I've been getting a very, VERY powerful power trip from spamming the same three attacks all day erryday (>>732821886)
>>732827505Kunimatsu was evil because he was consumed by jealousy, and an ancient demon decided to intensify those feelings and make it into an actual demon. 3 times in fact.
>>732814667This is always the worst part.They make a mass appeal version of a previously well received game and it's a massive success, which means every future entry will be dumbed down even more.Maybe the DLC can salvage the game but I can't say I'm hopeful.There's barely an missions available for multiplayer and I have 0 desire to do open world expeditions.
>>732827551I love splitstaff from 2 and I try to use it exclusively in 3, but it boss fights are difficult as hell for meKamaitachi raped my anus, killed him finally but took many triesMeanwhile Nioh 2 kamaitachi was a pushover
>>732827613He's a pushover here, the difference is that Splitstaff had its moveset condensed into one stance, so you're probably lacking the options you used to have.
the funny part is despite being in all three gameshonda largely lived to retirement shame we couldnt get any more comment out of (you) or nekomata about him
>>732827613Apparently they nerfed the shit out of the splitstaff, at least as far as base damage goes. Best equalizer I've found has been magic and kunai. The description doesn't mention it at all, but kunai will do crit damage if you hit someone from behind with it and it has the same recharge amount as shurikens.
>Unlock Versatility with Cestus>Doing 2x the damage>Stun locking bosses>Still haven't even unlocked adept samurai skillsMhmmm, still as busted as in Nioh 2 I see.
>>732827473I turned it off and my game immediately ran better at native than with upscaling. So, no, maybe>>732827613Splitstaff hits hard, but is just gutted for both speed and ki damage purposes with stance removal. It's sad to see, it was my second favorite weapon.
>>732827737>>732827693I love my staves and I really don't like the ninja/samurai stance swappingI guess i'll just suffer through the game with splitstaff anyway
>>732824437>>7328261301 was obvious from the start because the osaka siege is literally the defining ending of the sengoku period and official start of the tokugawa shogunate2 literally tells you about the 3 dlcs during the final battle and final cutscene, with each Otakemaru's phase having one of the dlc's as background of the fight3 is weirdly aimless with it's dlc in that regard. Takechiyo as emperor only 2 defining things is killing his brother and telling the christians to GTFO out of japan so most people think at least one of them will be about the latter.
>when the bosses keep spawning after you have already killed four4 (four) heavenly gods my ass
>>732827095>Hide only showed up briefly and later than Takechiyo (Hide appears when Yoshitsune dies)you got it backwards bro, benkei is dead in 3 but 2's dlc happens before that.
>>732827310Who needs cannons more than people with demons to shoot?
>>732826890>An Ancient Evil awakens>manipulates several AMBITIOUS men throughout the ages>You gotta go through time to slap their collective shit>Also meet a girl who is the ancient evil's brother and only she can... give you a mirror so you can go time hopping
>>732826939too busy farming
>*Fursona flies towards you* I had to turn into a demon to become ShōgunThis villain backstory every time, again, huh
>>732827586what you said is true and what i said is true.
>>7328166502's story was already weaker because they insister on giving players a custom character that stands around in cutscenes and doesn't really have a will of their own instead of a real person3 is even weaker somehow. I should have known it was going to suck when Hanzo jobbed in the fucking intro
>>732827869It's because the Nioh 3 time travel goes to "the darkest timeline" where things are worse than they were in history. e.g. Shinsaku is the only loyalist left and Okita Soji is the only Shinsengumi left (ironically)
>>732827851Just high stance axe them first try lol
>>732816757They also say ayakashi every time it says youkai in the sub titles
>join rando in coop as visitor>forgot my weapon is permanently imbued with fire>1 shot myself by hitting a fire barrellollmao
>>732828045
>>732827697It's also stated that he's good with kids and used to play with Takechiyo when he was small.Shame he died when MC was like 10 years old.
>>732827397Man its way easier for meI'm only up to baba whatshisface at the end of warring states and he's the only boss that's taken more than a couple tries aside from the crucible snake grannyEvery other boss has been a pushover
>>732814315No. This one is mostly a step down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG3dokqloV4
>>732814315I remember literally nothing from my time with Nioh 2 except the youkai I raped along the way.
>>732827992wouldn't be so bad if the whole emotional arc of the story wasn't riding on the connection between tokichiro and the custom character lump. it's a real testament to his actor that it works as well as it does.
>>732828025except benkei famously dies in a last stand on the kyoto bridge against a bunch of dudes and yoshimoto directly references that in that one sidequest where you fight a bunch of yokai of the guys benkei killed on said bridgeit's one of the main things we know about the dude. he was a master of a bunch of weapons and he kicked some fucking ass on a bridge when he died.
>>732814315Most nioh tracks aren't super memorable outside of the game, but they work well with how they're used ingame. The Interim theme is one I like.
>>732826514120gb and look at the fucking Rock TEXTURE, LOOK AT IT
Nioh 2's protagonist was the best because he fits the setting the best, being a half-yokai.There's not much about him in the main story, but it builds up towards the end and DLCs. Same is true for William too if you'd take off your nostalgia goggles.
>>732827397By what? If you use even half the tools, none of the regular enemies and even a good amount of bosses almost can't fight back at all
>>732827397>Level design being more open means less chance of you getting fucked by ganks>Less snipers>New tech for sam and ninja mode is fucking op>yokai attacks and grabs have lower damage>straight up possibly enemy AI might be fucked (too many instances of enemies just standing still for no reason)Bosses are actually harder in general, but the rest above makes the game as a whole easier.
Games need some great heels like Edward Kelley.>"Fight, you samurai fools!"Classic.Now it's all misunderstood manipulated dweebs who are actually noble and shit.
>>732828318I seriously could not give a single fuckIts an action game not a looking at walls game
>>732828427Eddy was 100% a dick but i cant blame the man when he was literally created this way.
>>732828331I just really love the spirit video for Saorise in the first one desu.
>>732828427I loved that they made sure every historical samurai, no matter how much of a scumbag or a failure they were, had some redeeming quality or generous depiction in the games but the two English dudes in Nioh are the most comically evil motherfuckers.
>>732826809
>>732828474I'd have loved to see more spirit stone shit that wasn't Japanese.
>>732828446Cocksucking Faggots like you are why modern games keep feeling and running shittier and shitter
>>732828427only gaijins are allowed to be just plain evil
>>732828232The cost of having a mute player character is that they always need a sidekick that talks and makes all the decisions for them.And yeah they at least made it work by making the guy a bro and even support you after you save him from being evil
>>732828521Pumping Hide full of white Japanese children.
>>732827397>Fill cum meter>Skills now cost almost zero ki>Versatility is free>Skill that gives infinite hyper armor during cum combo>Skill that gives like 30% lifesteal on cum combo>Use ki damaging moves until cum meter fills, then chain your strongest damaging skills on yokai while they can't do anythingThey had to add like 90% DR on bosses during phase transitions or you could literally 1 combo them as soon as their ki runs out. Human enemies can't do shit against your infinite skill spam either, and it's better to turn of grapple so you don't accidentally grapple them and edge instead of actually blowing your load. Shit is so easy it's unreal
>>732828520I don't know, if anything it makes it even weirder.Everyone wants to stop the war and bring peace and be the best for the people and they do it by killing everyone around them all of the time, bringing literal demons into the world and all that shit.Just makes them seem completely insane.
>>732817462He never got further than simping for her
>>732828531Faggots like you are why budgets are bloated and games have shit derivitive gameplay
>>732827820Big dicked expert ninja master here, just beat the game using nothing but ninja weapons and I spent equal time with them all. You need to stop with that splitstaff slander. Admittedly it needs the crucible Ebb and Flow, it's a must-have for the weapon. But once you have that Seesaw Strike and Ebb and Flow can crush health bars and ki.Orion's Belt is a great pressure move and deserves the up + triangle spot for now, Serpent Sweep, Unruly Revolution are solid. Radiant Moon is one of the better "get behind the enemy" moves. And Coiled Strike can be used twice in mid-air. The weapon can put out damage comparable to the ninja 2kat, no I'm not joking.
>>732828609Yokai women are for human ojisans exclusively.
I expected second phse but no he's supposed to be that easy
>unmarked npc gives you a key
>>732817941No. I crushed the game with Samurai and never felt pressed to switch. There's an option in-game to detach the burst counter from the style switch so that you aren't ever forced into it.
the amount of actual missions (battle scrolls) in this game is patheticwhat the fuck happened
>>732828520It's better than running 100 years of bullshit propaganda about how one side was uniquely evil even after the war has ended
Kagetoki is an impressively bad fight, genuinely breaks all the rules of the game
Is it just straight up impossible to craft divines this time?
Honestly if they just made the next nioh like a complete fantasy setting I would prefer that. I know it won't be because KT just reuses its assets for easy production but the boring alt history style story has gotten stale.
>>732812234I'm surprised they got a safe horny muscle mommy right by giving it tits and some subcutaneous fat for the face instead of turning it into an ugly man, bravo.
>>732829282wait for the DLC and be sure to buy it like a good goy to unlock more gameplay features
>>732829048It feels like the open world sucked up a lot of dev time.>NPCs don't always comment if you go take a bath.>They don't react to gestures>There aren't unique summons/'invader' swords that give lore/dialogue.>Fewer side missions with different ways of completing themIt's a shame.
L1+square/triangle is just brute counter.You thought I would learn parryslop?
>natural progression has me almost 20 levels over the recommended level at all times>have to un level and use lower lvl equipment just to clear everything in a single small combo>permanently carrying around 1.6 million amrita that I'm not even bothered about potentially losingWas this even play tested? I wanted this game to beat my ass.
>>732828031took a few tries but got them, i just wasn't expecting the fifth bossit is what it is
>>732829373I've seen a bunch of people say how it is now so much better than the stage based design of the past games.But they will also bitch that they can't explore into gated off areas that are set pieces for a story mission, which is a problem that only exist because of the open world.I really don't understand what the open world adds that wasn't done better by the arcade like design of 1 and 2
>>732829402You did not beat bloodedge demon
>>732828331counter pointin nioh i get to play as a fair haired blue eyed gaijin that travels to nippon becomes the most influential force in the current landscape gets a ninja waifu gf while beating every nippon noble because they messed with my fursona back in ireland
>>732829436It WAS playtested, they wanted it easier, and more normalfag friendly. The positive reviews for RotR were "you can pet the cat", and now you can pet the cat AND the sky weasel, AND the game is easier for everyone.
>Spear in 1 and 2>try other things in 3 before going back to SpearI am alone on this pointy mountain.
>>732829436it needed to be braindead easy for the new audiencethe first boss you fight at the end of the intro is the only hurdle if you don't know how to play yet and after that you need to gimp yourself the worst part is all of the 300 fucking locks you hate to pick up are guarded by enemies that can never touch you if you don't play like a retard
>>732829504Not having a billion variations of do the level at night but backwards or some shit.
>trying to get an armor set>oh sorry this set only drops from 2 bosses and neither of them are farmableNice fucking game
>>732829504Me neither, I like the stage-based design.Also ran way better...
>>732817930>>732817705This exact combo one-shot me from a revenantHe was at 10% health and just slow-walked to me for an instakill. Burst out laughing.
>>732829587That was me with tonfa, and now I'm told I'm a retard casual brained niggerman when I was told I was a no damage doing waste of space if I didn't tonfa gun to do moderate damage in Nioh 2 for years. At least spear got to stay the same.
>>732829436Open world is the epitome of >We need to reward the player for doing optional content but we also can't have it impossible for players to just do the main story.Which means that if side content gives any rewards, you will make the actual game piss easy. There are ways around this, but open world games suffer heavily from it as they are usually rife with side content.
>>732829573Annoyingly everything else was a step up from ronin imo. The open world is actually more dense and smaller this time round and actually so I don't end up searching for fights like in ronin. Everything else is questionable though. How is enemy variety so poor despite 2 having such a great diverse selection?>>732829645It's a real shame that we regressed from getting points through using the weapons back to this nioh 1 style communal point pool, just because it can be slotted into the open world checklist structure. I maxed out all 4 of my weapons and am still swimming in points. On top of that all the build crafting feels kinda pointless because arts proficiency combos are broken from level 1
>>732829653doing the level backwards at night is objectively more variation than you'll get out of fighting the Nth "beat 3 waves of enemies" crucible spike or clearing out an enemy base so you get a samurai lock
>>732812953The big bomb is when you go back to the ice map and use a guardian skill to fight the monk master, it's on the roof on the right relative to the master.
>>732826514I just unlocked pride and got facerolled. Can't wait until I unlock 1kat's 'Counters are easier, retard'
>>732829436Stop complaining about base difficulty when we know from the previous two entries there are going to be multiple difficultly modes.
>>732829645intro boss baited the fuck out of me I thought it would be a proper game after not piss easy
>>732829757I would be fine with the enemy variety if they didn't just give us the same few low tier enemies over and over and over. Skeletons, new dudes with the horns and spear things, and gakis, everywhere. Why not those surrounding stronger enemies? Worst thing, NG+ has NEARLY the same placement unless you empower a camp, which requires an item and doesn't really give you a bigger reward, I believe from my time doing it that it just slightly increases your chances at maxed level gear.So the only way to get somewhat challenging enemy placement is to farm easy missions for a 1x camp empowerment per mission clear, rather than that just being the game.Longterm Nioh 3 play, if it remains this way, won't be a thing. The systems just do not work with being a grindable ARPG.
>>732829757All the excess points just go into the skills that are marked "+1 damage to samurai/ninja" once you can't do anything else with them.I suppose they thought this was better than having dump stats for your points or that it would be interesting to give you less total points than you need to unlock everything, because you can just reset them at any time
>>732829857Do you really, actually believe that the game is going to be as difficult as Nioh 1 or 2 when it's selling this well, which is a big boon for them? There's literally no chance. None.
>>732829898>every map is cluttered with skeletons and jailer onis
>>732829898Ironically they also took away the invisibility buffs in 2, so you need to deal with the shitty weak enemies in situations where you can't simply run past and lose them
>>732812234>Licky lick.Nah.
>>732829898The Gakis get used noticeably less this time around, because Gaki is really only dangerous when hiding behind in a bush, in a tree, generally somewhere where you won't see it and it can do that grab on you and become big gaki. Here, the open fields don't help it at all, so this enemy type that really needs the element of surprise just gets the worst showing. Enki is hardly used, Yoki as well strangely since the new enemies mostly take the spotlight, but not the Japanese werewolf that would've been interesting to keep around as a more consistent enemy. He's fast, with a reasonably difficult attack pattern to learn to deflect or evade, and breaking his claws causes big ki damage. Sadly he's quite rare, same with the pot granny.
>>732830049>armored bore Come on now
People keep saying the game is easy, but I don't see a new player having a easy time with some of these bosses
>New Game+ has you replay the entire story instead of completing 60% to move on to the next new game+ I'm really not feeling it
>>732830091It's easier on first play than Nioh 1 or 2 for a new player. Forums are flooded with people admitting they hated or couldn't finish Nioh 1 and 2, but love this one. It's simply a more accessible game, purposefully.
>>732829667What the fuck were they thinking? Can you even reset the field bosses like you can enemy bases and lesser crucibles in NG+?
>>732830091The issue is that it's only challenging for new players. Returning players will stomp everything and will likely have to wait for complete edition before there is any challenging content. Similar to other games like sop, wo long. It's just a shame but hopefully we'll get our fill
>>732830091The new player audience wont hesitate to use the co-op feature and summon a level 150 visitor shitting on their level 20 boss in 10 seconds flat
>>732830103Should have kept everything cleared, no new bonuses for redoing everything, and filled the map with dangerous enemies that are empowered randomly to give the best drops.
>>732830202I want an answer to this as well. Most fun bosses are one off encounters, is there any way to farm them???
>>732830202all of the POIs respawn, every single chest and kodama, even if they don't give you unique rewards anymore
>>732830091It's the 3rd game in the series, it shouldn't be for fucking new players.
>>732830258No, I meant can I actually farm the field bosses in NG+. I know everything respawns ONCE when you start NG+
>>732812234I NEED SEX
>>732830241Yeah it would have been great if there had been new challenges in each region and they let you move to the next once you've beaten enough of them.moving through NG+ was always just a test if you could beat enough bosses to move to the final boss
>>732812234I love it but it's too easy and makes me want to return to 1 and 2.
>>732830306There's a mechanic that lets you respawn enemy bases and crucible spike battles, so in a way you can re-fight themBut it requires a limited resource that isn't easy to obtain
>>732830352But anon, the bosses I have to farm aren't in an enemy base or lesser crucibles
>>732830103bro you can just teleport straight to the shrine closest to the mission then run to the boss with the wolf speed corethe only annoying part is the fish boss because if you dont do the side mission you have to fight the agent nigga before the boss every time
>>732829667>>732830202U rike opan worrd gaem mekaniks.
>>732827602There are literally dozens of missions wtf are you talking about
>join friends expedition>he explored a bit more than me and already killed blood spurting ogin >return to my world>get to ogin area but she's not thereThanks team ninja
Team ninja please bring back demon scrolls. All I want is ball busting waves of enemies and bosses
>>732830575They already teased demon scrolls with that one side mission that puts you into an enrera meat grinder.
>>732830406I think strong enemy field bosses do respawn under ceratin conditions, i was able to fight kamaitachi twice but he hasn't respawned for a 3rd time.Worried the 2nd time may have been a bug now
>>732830575Should have been in the base for some semblance of "endgame" as everyone expects something to do now due to playing complete editions. I want to want to play.
>>732829983I'm not that anon, but I want you to know that even shitposting this kind of rhetoric makes you a wretched faggot
!
>>732830683>I want to want to play.This is my sentiment too.>>732830638Exactly. I feel teased
>>732830686>needing to tell me that you're not that anon as though it's going to leave his anonymous name soiled for all timeWelcome to Reddit, heart of the Internet
>>732830719
>scampuss is one of the first cores you can acquire and it keeps being relevant the entire game because it's literally a diet scampuss summoning bell from 2
>>732829983How do you know it's selling well? They haven't announced any sales milestones yet.
They really should have sprinkled tengu around more and made a variant too.
>>732830683maybe a year of console exclusivity was worth it if it meant you get the DLC included instead of $120 for half a game
As great as it feels, having all these dmc tier options to mix up combat freely just removes all challenge from the game.
I hope we will get Yorimitsu's onmyo box casting animation at some point, they brought it for the onmyo dude.
>>732830829>a skill allows you to animation cancel out of any animation with your summonsThis is ludicrous
>>732830683I've never actually beaten nioh 2, now i'm hearing NG+ is the "true" game like torment difficulty in diabloMight actually put down 3 and go back to that because it sounds awesome. Won't even start a new game because i remember i had just beaten saito and was about to start act 3
>>732827869that's fucked, because irl, benkei died guarding yoshitsune so that yoshi could commit suicide in peace
>>732830937the games went up to NG+5 and had some new mechanics to power you up further on each round
>>732830937NG+ in nioh 2 is a jokeEasier than NGNG++ though is where the game forces you to learn game mechanics
>>732830937Nioh 2 has like 5 ng+ cycles and the very first ng+ you do is probably easier than base game. It gets very juicy later on though.
>>732830937Nioh 2 is addiction city for a lot of us. It has systems layered on systems, things to grind to increase drop rates, scrolls that have game changing abilities like ultimate courage, where having a certain level of courage decreases your ki useage, or ultimate stamina making you a gigatank or the fastest man alive, all from scrolls that you enter into and do waves of enemies concluded with a turbo boss. It's amazing.
>>732830920Yeah, that was the point when i started using them essentially as 2's yokai cores.
>>732830842Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they go back to temporary PS exclusivity after this.It doesn't seem to be selling that well on PC (Mewgenics came out yesterday and already has more review than Nioh 3 which came out last week) and being a temporary exclusive makes dumb snoys more likely to buy the game out of fanboyism for their platform not to mention the bribe money they probably receive from Sony for doing this.
>>732831019This post has me salivating. Just thinking about my 500 hours in nioh 2 just makes me want to come back even if I haven't finished 3.
Is it actually good?
>>732830937It has multiple NG+ up to like NG+++++. It starts super easy but near the last NG+ it was whupping my ass. You actually had to use the new gameplay and itemization options the higher difficulties gave you to keep up with what you had to fight. The final DLC boss was a brick wall for me on like NG+++.
>>732819472https://youtu.be/RK66El0d4bA?t=10560This timestamp
>>732831019I'm afraid nioh 2 doomposters who said 3 wouldn't come close to 2 are correct so far. I hope the dlcs introduce some big changes but I don't see myself putting in as much time into 3 as I did into 2
>>732831019I already fuck hard with the blacksmith in regular NGAnd now i'm reading about divine graces and star stats which i hope are better than nioh 3's which have been largely dissapointing, shit like 7 water damage which makes no difference
>>732831092>fluid as fuck even without AP, finally got enough skills to fill all inputs>Frost Moon makes it feel like monster hunter hammer, especially the overhead chop in high stance>the new crucible spin2win is fast as fuck and insanely satisfying to land, feels like Cloud's Infinity's End from FF7r>when AP kicks in you become an immortal rape train>flash attack restores insane amount of spirit forceYes
>>732831219Just adding some more interesting items and set bonuses and a few more systems, all of which were added in the NIOH 2 DLC would be more than enough.
So whats better? nioh 2 or 3? I'm liking 3 but I don't think i really played 2 at all but i thought I had. Thinking I might go back and try 2 again or stick with 3? (3s performance is so bad rn tho)
>>732831280If we compare set bonuses from the base game, 3 BTFOs 2 by a long shot. I think we will get something as insane as wo long's ethereal graces by the end.
what did I think of it?
>720p native on ps5 pro upscaled to 4kits not even a hardware issue other games that are much more visually impressive upscale from a better base resolution AND look better. what the fuck did they do?
>>732831470japanese code folded a thousand times
>>732831236>axe player>havent found a single axe crucible and i'm done already done with heian
>>732831470The engineers at koei in charge of maintaining and updating the katana engine fell for the nu-rendering kool aid.None of their games have run well since SoP
>>732831219I think some added sub-missions/twilight missions would add alot to the Nioh 3 NG experience. I also want to see one skill added to most of the ninja weapons. And there's plenty of space on the controller, weapons like Talons can get a hold square skill, and Splitstaff can get a "press down + triangle after a light attack" move like the Kusarigama already has.I think ninja mode deserves more credit, mostly because of mist, it's an awesome mechanic
>>732831059>Mewgenics came out yesterday and already has more review than Nioh 3It also is by the same fucking dev as Binding of Isaac and is basically $25. No shit it has more reviews.
>>732830762
>farmed the smithing texts for yoshitsunes armor sets>i can look cool nowfinally some good fucking food
>>732831280>>732831627Good suggestions. Hope they go with these
>beat demon of obsession>dont get to watch the cutsceneepic
Every time I play a Nioh game I wonder why the loot system is such abysmal dogshit. I understand they want a diablo-esque loot system. The problem is that this shit does not scale at all at the lower levels and so the entire loot system is fucking irrelevant until the end of the game and/or NG+ cycles.So because of NG+ autists the entire game is flooded with every random gaki dropping 3000000 pieces of loot I have to mash R1 on to pick up that I'm eventually going to have to delete because it's useless. It's so tiresome.
>>732831323Both of them are amazing and i can absolutely say that 3 is at the very least on par with 2. Better combat system and base game enemy roster, level design on par with 2 but in a very satisfying open field design, worse story, but gameplay is 99% of these games, so...
>>732831852>auto loot on>play normally until you're getting 1 shot>auto equip agility B>play normally
>>732831852>loot I have to mash R1 on to pick up
>>732831627I was an avid hatchet player in 2 and despite the fact i really want both boulder breaker and greased lighting, i think it's such an amazingly fun and well designed weapon in 3 i love ninja mode thanks to it aloneThat aerial drill move is insane.
>>732832006Completely agree and I weeped as well when I found out I couldn't have both sheathe skills but the new aerial moves are just too fucking good.
>>732831865hmm I think i agree so far. I don't remember much of 2 but Hide was a much better protag rather than the time jumping emperor we are in 3. I think maybe i'll try 2 again while waiting for 3 to get some patches. my pc is pretty good but i gotta cap 3 at 60fps, Thanks
>>732831982Why the fuck is this off by default
I've never played a Nioh game before. Will I be lost starting with this one?Briefly watched a someone stream it and it looked wild. All the different skill trees and skills, the stances, some kind of transformation ultimate they used. Looks like a lot of shit going on.
>>732832058At the very least pseudo boulder breaker is now on a flash attack, and it's an immensely useful move
>>732832104>but Hide was a much better protagWilliam was the only good protag, both Hide and our MC in Nioh 3 are basically mutesTN suck at story and fashion, how they were able to regress from Rise of the Ronin in the fashion area idk.i love Nioh 3, but holy fuck there are areas they could and should improve upon.
Any other settings that are off by default that should be on?
>>732818893>nerf>in a single player game
>>732832132I like picking up the loot piñata individually.
>>732832213>turn on the ability to burst counter without switching styles>suddenly im playing nioh againwe're back at it
>>732831852Stop hoarding equipment, you fully well know that you're supposed to dispose loot constantly until you get access to divine and ethereal gear.
is bare-handed still a thing?i know it was a meme "build" even with all the boosts but i remember it being pretty fun to mess around with in Nioh 2 with the sword parry and the set that let you ki-pulse while unarmed
>>732812736>Nioh 3 >still no KenshinThis fucking niggers better add him and Hojo Ujiyasu. Also we need a Shimazu DLC
>can't beat any boss unless I use tonfasAre they broken or have I found my playstyle?
https://www.reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/1r2pqlo/keep_an_empty_weapon_slot_if_youre_using_ninjutsu/anyone tested this? apparently your ninja weapon affects ninjutsu damage
>>732832287Yes, and they even gave it powerful skills.
>>732812736>>732832290If he is DLC, do you think Team Ninja will have a story where his ambition is because he's possessed by a yokai?
>>732832429Damn. My big bomb was doing 1/3rd of a boss health if I hit it mostly in its back but it might just be a one shot now.
>DLC 1: Hell Rising (expected September 2026) >DLC 2: Bloody Insurrection (expected February 2027)Any theories about the time periods?Shimabara Rebellion?
>>732821535Yeah sorta except it's actually (you) creating a paradox by making the ancient demon guy decide to fuck with you specifically because you stopped him in the first place.
>>732832151It can be alot, even for those of us that played 1&2. Way more weapon skills than most of these types of games. A weapon skill/martial art for every single situation the enemies can put you in. It'd say it's one of those games where you absolutely cannot ignore mechanics. You've gotta learn them all. With maybe some unga bunga Axe exceptions.just try the demo
>>732831656I just realized this game cost twice as much for less content
>>732832593>1 year to potentially fix the gameDoes this mean that NG+4 and +5 will also not be added until then?
>>732832771Then go and play it you fucking retard. How stupid can you be to think an action game is gonna sell the same as a shitty single player le comfy one
>>732821535>a game called NIOH is about the balance of light and dark causing calamity and warwoah...
>>732832838>fixThere's nothing to fix, it's already a great game. Expect some quality of life patches before the DLCs.
>>732832843That wasn't meant to be about edmunds game, I couldn't care less about his cringe ass peepeepoopoo humor.I meant in relation to what Nioh 2 was sold for.
>>732819962I choose Atsuko over her but it was really painful because Ine was really cute and the scene was really hot. I'm going to do it next time, and then Sana
>>732821535Yep.Nioh 2 plot: Hideyoshi possessed by deity OtakemaruNioh 3 plot: Kunimatsu possessed by deity Hiruko.
>>732832838>NG+4 and +5>base game only has ng+id be surprised if we get that far considering we're only getting 2 dlcs instead of the usual 3
>>732820408>he's the strongest guy on the Tokugawa side.He has been a jobber for 3 games now, Tadakatsu is quite pathetic in Nioh
>>732812234She was such a fun boss. Cool moveset with similar tells for different attacks. Really enjoyed it.
>>732832995Nioh 1: British possesed by Zionists
So the DLCs will likely be about Keian Uprising and Shimabara Rebellion
>>732832593All I want is a kenshin fight. How tf do you have Shingen in the game but not Kenshin
>>732833043>base game only has ng+Really? I haven't played far into NG+ yet but I figured there would be at least more than that.That sucks.
>>732833071I expected her to be as unga as Shuten, but she is a graceful sword duelist. Certainly one of the best bosses in 3.
>>732822006>Fuuma isn't a demon of chaos or a redhead hot ladyWasted
>>732830070They should have let the gakis evolve into gaki chiefs if they grab you
>>732833080>Nioh 1: British possesed by ZionistsNah man. Edward Kelly and John Dee were English occult assholes.
>>732833231Yeah, a highlight thus far.
>>732833231Who's the artist?
>>732831092Yes. I've stacked 70% "damage reduction when attacking" and after I hit a leech talisman on an enemy I am effectively immortal as long as I keep applying pressure and handle ki pulsing well.
>>732833338Search for nioh on pixiv
>>732825759Nobody want to be friends with the Tokugawa, the most jewish clan of Nihon
>>732812234Downgrade from Nioh 2
>>732833284me in the back
>>732825759>Hanzo and Fuuka fuck off after you complete the training questsFuck you team ninja
>>732833047They hobbled him between 2 and 3. His fight was a total joke in this one instead of the nightmare he was in 2.
>>732833284god I miss when the games at least attempted to have an interesting storybut I have people saying the story was also bad and not worth paying attention to anywaymaybe it's because you had to read, which is becoming and impossible feat
>>732831827I bet it would've worked fine on Playstation
>>732833521another weird decision by TN
>>732831827nigga install vp9 codec from microsaar store
>>732833690Same. No one wants to take the risk of doing retarded sounding things these days. It's irritating.
>>732833690The problem with Nioh 1 is that you have to have some idea of the Sengoku period to fully enjoy it. And you're right about people not wanting to read. There's a text box before you start a mission, and not everything is in English, meaning some people are going to zone out mentally when hearing the story in Japanese. I know I had to play the story several times for me to get what's going off lore wise, along with the subtext of character relationships. Example. Here's the tengu boss guy from Nioh 2 and Nioh 3. You wouldn't be hyped to see someone like this unless you had some idea of Japanese historic figures.
>>732825759That's just how the Interim works, they fuck off once their unfinished business is finished
>>732834039>The quest-completed text blurps are gone tooNOO I LOVED THEM
They should remake Nioh 1 with all the mechanics of 3. William's story is worth it.
>>732832463No, I think he'll be a good guy, the enemy would be either the Takeda or the Hojo
>>732834181>They should remake Nioh 1 with all the mechanics of 3. William's story is worth it.Fuck no. Nioh 1's mechanics are unique and I find them more fun than Nioh 2 (with Nioh 3 looking largely the same mechanically).
>>732834039this pic will never not be funny to me>>732827143
>you can actually turn the annoying "hold R1" shit into a single clickWish I knew that sooner.
>>732833603He was quite easy in Nioh 2 too...he only had one dangerous move that could one shoot you
>>732834286Nioh 3 gives you so much power you become busted without much effort and the enemies can't really keep up.I can't imagine what it is like if you actually optimize it, but >>732833392 already sounds pretty OP
>>732834181Nioh 4 will bring back Uirriammu, Hide and 'Chiyo and you are free to change between characters on a large open world doing random shit
>>732834181i had the same ideathey are out of stories to tell and nioh is their only good series so may aswell remake the first one
>>732834442>>732834442>>732834442
>>732834369You can also just turn on automatic looting for items
why are the best yokai bosses girls?
>>732834181I am usually against remakes but fighting Maria with deflect sounds fun as fuck
>>732834454they can always make a futuristic cyber Nioh where all the clans also all still exist for some reason
>>732829869First zone is very easy if you do all of it, you're immediately overlevelled. I don't want to skip all the content though so I'm hoping the difficulty picks up
>>732834478I did that after beating my first bloodedge demon, but I didn't realize I could make interacting with object also not a pain in the butt.
>>732834489I wish they would stop doing that make up under their eyes to look like they have eye lids instead of slits
>>732834454They aren't out of stories, there's a lot about Heian and Sengoku they haven't touch yet. They could even touch the molgol invasion if they want to
>>732834582You lose no matter what because if you don't go for the loot spots you wont get samurai/ninja points and skill unlocks
>>732834538>they can always make a futuristic cyber NiohGod I hope not, I hate future shit. It's so lame
>>732834181Yes, lets turn the best Nioh game into generic slop with dogshit casual mass appeal faggotry. Nah eat shit and die.Nioh 1 is peak.
>>7328348101 is not going anywhere you can play it any time you want (you wont be playing it again)
This game sucks, hoping the next FROM game is teased soon.
>>732835184I am playing it on a weekly basis, much better than the dogshit that is nioh 3.
my biggest complaint is the nightshade mask hiding bangs for no reasonsecond biggest complaint is having to specify a level and being unable to just press left to go to max level when mass selecting items to disassemble
