What's everyone's wish list for the upcoming DLC?
Onmyoji style.
>>733632173>>733632809Just practice it with the game muted until you can hit it consistently. Relying on audio cues is for schmucks
>>733638206Return of the elite enemies from Nioh 2 The Last Samurai
>>733638270>Just practice it with the game muted until you can hit it consistently.This is the wayThat's how I learned how to use Jecht's timings in dissidia
>>733638206Open field maps that aren't ruins.Transmog options shared between samurai and ninja.More martial arts and more weapons.More battle scrolls.
>>733638206More Guardian Spirit skills, not Guardian Spirits but skills to use on the ones we have now. Some of the GS have decent passives but dog shit skills that I don't like using them. Maybe a third Yin spot for Yokai summoning, but I swear they get their damage from your magic stat. Actually I'm certain they get their damage calculated from the magic stat.
Is there a dojo in this game? I haven't been able to find it.
>>733638206On the survey I put better transmogs, Wirriam, removing simultaneous enemy aggression restrictions, a stage where you properly fight double Gokuzi+Mezuki solo, Yatsuo-no-kami, using the right themes for boss fights (Kasha getting Enera's theme in that one battle scroll bugs me), and more Battle scrolls in general.>>733638418In a battle scroll
>>733638343Easthetically, the maps in this game are honestly dogshit. Every map after Sengoku is a pile of black diarrhea with spikes and amorphous generic "evil" visuals. 1 and 2 two had a lot better variety and some areas were downright pretty.
>>733638506>EastheticallyWell, I really fucked that one up.
>>733638206Now that I think on it, I also wish that enhanced crucibles capped off with a boss fightEven a human ascended revenant would be okay. I don't care if that shit is cramped, put Ryomen Sukuna in there.
Big increase in enemy variety and more spirit animals. Bring Mumyo back as a Master for some Switchglaive skill. More of the stronger youkai, less filler trash like Gaki, Jailer and Shunobon. Permanent hub Fuku. Boss fight with Perry.
>>733638206I can't be the only one
>>733638813no, they just look like legs to me because i'm not a raging faggot
>>733638797There are a lot of fights with parry anon, most people just don't use them.
>>733638206>What's everyone's wish list for the upcoming DLC?playing as hiddy in dlc
>>733637552They're fine and funI was pretty resistant to the idea at first. But here I am 150 hours in just having fun going from one end of the map to the other, redoing myths or lesser crucibles in between sessions of doing battle scrolls.In Nioh 1 and 2 there were about two dozen stages I simply just didn't redo, but I find myself redoing most of the shit in Nioh 3. I'll see how I feel about that as the months pass
man, i just cannot get into ninja
>>733638863R2
>>733638863There's the easy route of spamming ninjutsu and the hard route of learning how to actually consistently maneuver behind a yokai and getting better at air combos.
What new weapons could we potentially get?Nunchucks for ninja sounds cool but could they do anything tonfa couldn't?
>>733638797Enemy variety is actually insane, they just use fodder demons too much for some reason. NG+ gives positive change in that regard but i want even more changes. They are really afraid of going all out with enemy placements, probably because playtesters got raped repeatedly.
>>733638506I do like some of the vistas in 3, but even with all of the defiled temple stuff, it never has anything with the atmosphere of the Nue temple, or the start of Umi-Bozu's level in 1. Or hell, the level in 1 where you fight Ogress, with the spider lilies leading to her. Hell, even the massive underground cave complex in 2 where we bang a hundred Nure-Onna and kill Yatsu no Kami, there was nowhere like that in 3.
>>733638965>samuraiWar Fan. An onmyo focused weapon that gives you abilities similar to the Great Tengu, the main gimmick is that a lot of its attacks have elemental imbues. Lots of dance-like moves.Think about Anji from Guilty Gear.>NinjaSai, either one or dual wielded. Relentless buttfuck 100000% aggression mode weapon with short range but very low attack commitment, can attack during Mist.
>>733638965a fan for ninja would be sick
>>733638206Are there guardless katanas in this series?
>>733638965a kanabō for samurai. kinda competes with the hammer tho. maybe it could be slightly smaller?sai and nunchuks for ninja could be neat.other than these 3 I really can't think of anything the game might be missing unless it's some fantasy weapon like the switchglaive.
>>733638969They clearly make a distinction between mooks and elite mooks, but they should be treating a lot of elites as regular mooks, and reducing a lot of the actual trash. Skeletons stop showing up nearly as much in the later stages, but you still have a constant diet of Gaki etc. Bakumatsu harps on the whole "Youkai being used with the Shogunate forces" thing, so why'd they not bring back Rokurokubi? Why do we never fight a sewing circle of multiple Yamanba and a Sunakake-Onna at the same time?
>>733638848>In Nioh 1 and 2 there were about two dozen stages I simply just didn't redo, but I find myself redoing most of the shit in Nioh 3. I'll see how I feel about that as the months passThis is my experience too. Nioh 3's world on ng+ is a constant feed of enemies to fight, i don't speedrun the content nearly as much as i did in previous games.It helps they actually changed some placements around. Double mermaid gank in hino enma cave was very cool for example.
>>733638995>Hell, even the massive underground cave complex in 2 where we bang a hundred Nure-Onna and kill Yatsu no Kami, there was nowhere like that in 3.There's literally a cave like this. And it's pretty atmospheric too.
>>733638506Agree. 3 in general feels to me like a game they didn't want to make.
>>733638813I see it and I am the biggest futachad on this site
>>733639267They really could do some themed missions. Only women yokai, children and the elderly... could be fun.
>>733639710There are a few missions like this, like the one in a whorehouse by the end full of angry female yokai.
>>733639595Ironically during the reveal they said this was the game they made specifically because Team Ninja staff wanted to do it. As opposed to the usual process of the TN heads or KT telling them to make it, the lower level staff proposed it and got the project approved.
I can't believe there was no ice lady in Heian. I was 100% locked in on ice lady. All those corpse memory lines about it getting suddenly cold.
>>733638863>get glacial calamity>get backstab damage>maneuver directly behind an enemy>one shot itninja is so busted this is all i do and i literally melt everything in the game in seconds
Should I play this now or wait for the DLC and play NG4 in the meantime?
Better enemy aggro ranges would be ideal, but I probably fucked up taking stealth from the titles early.Also yokai need SOME delay between zero ki and the puddle/dark realm, it's ridiculous.
>>733639898She is Nobunaga's wife, she will never come back because there was a story reason for her to exist in the first place. At best they can pick another tragic woman to serve as a yuki-onna.
>>733639903you have to get to bakumatsu firstbut yeah, the lightning shotgun also hits like a truck
>>733638965More of a consideration since we touch on bakumatsu period but if they were to add RotR weapons bayonets would be a neat samurai weapon while ninja could use the oxtail blade
>>733638965Umbrella with sharp spines, armored canopy, needle point and a hidden blade in the handleWhipblade with a Revolver on the sideBayonet Rifle ported from RoninAsymmetric dual wielding of one Hatchet and one Tonfa
>>733638965
I want cool new weaponsMaybe a pistol, honestly I'm not sure what they could add at this point without going further into the monster hunter hole like they did with switchglaive
>>733639987>whip out guardian spirit attack to reduce max ki to 0>boss says nuh uh and starts his dark realm exit just as it reaches 0, poising through itMotherFUCKER
Think they could add a naginata without it being a retread of spear or mid-Switchglaive?
>>733640776No. And while i love switchglaive, i think they shot themselves in a dick with it. They could add naginata AND a scythe separately.
>>733640776not really. I think a proper glaive like weapon would share too much DNA with SGlaive, Spear and Odachi. I really wish we could use something like the red fire horseguy from Sengoku had. No dice, unfortunately.
They are 100% adding a gun, as evidenced by the fact they removed the gunsticks blast
>>733638206I want endgame streamlined. Think SoP's gilgamesh DLC with rifts.Openworld isn't suited for NG+ at all.
Does ANY NPC react to gestures like in 2? Why was Hiddy more socially adept than Iemitsu?
>>733640842Do the Japanese even have scythes? I'm under the impression that they don't have anything bigger than the kama sickles- which were weaponised into kusarigama.
>>733640914>they removed the gunsticks blastHoly shit I was looking for that yesterday but couldn't find it, I thought it'd show up later. It's just gone?
>>733641569they did have something called a nagigama which was larger than a kama but not as big as a euroscythe. I think this is because the main use for a scythe is collecting cereals for bread and alcohol and grasses to feed cows. neither of those were cultivated in japan and I guess a big scythe wasn't of much use in collecting rice as I do not think you can let it fall down into the water like you would with wheat.
>>733640914>lower range than other ranged tools>but can act mid-combo with a single tap>needs to be reloaded>if you shoot during a roll or a dodge, does sick gunkata like movespls
>>733641762right, i see. it's a kama with an extra-long handle but the blade looks pretty much the same as on a normal sickle.
I feel like they missed a big opportunity to rework onmyo into its own playstyle, like ninja. I hate this boring consumable thing they keep insisting on. Wo Long did magic the right way.
>>733641658It's baked into the Living Artifact Tonfa combos. No more normal Gun Tonfa effect.
Victory rape
>>733639995Why not just make a slightly altered Yuki-Onna model that is unrelated to Princess Noh? She was an interesting fight, and one of a handful of yokai bosses that isn't immune or heavily resistant to fire. There were far too many enemies in Nioh 2 that were resistant to fire, hurt me deeply that my go to favorite element was being discriminated against.
>>733641892Wo Long also had much more fun melee spells, some of the guardian skills feel pretty clunky and flat in comparison. Nothing comes close to the drill kick. I'm comparing them because they were both martial arts'y elemental attacks
>>733641516Because Hiddy can only speak in gestures, whereas Takechiyo is just autistic.
Posting here since I don't want to make a thread, but Nioh 3 and RotR taught me that gamers are retarded and/or poor. Every bad review of these games is related to performance. I put together a rig with a relatively high end CPU (7950x) and upper mid range GPU (9070) and both run smooth as butter at 120 fps 1440p. I have a sneaking suspicion that if I fire up MH Wilds it will also work perfectly well and /v/ is just full of people trying to run these on hardware that was considered high end 15 years ago or bought a 4k monitor and set their games to 4k despite not having the specs to back that up.
>>733642183Wo long had almost no martial arts though. Add those into the equation, especially with Nioh 3 having elemental variants of some martial arts, and compare then.
>>733638206I just want bosses that are tougher and adding more of them to the world, like 90% of crucible spikes are guarded by at most a couple ninja oni or something. There was nothing like the fights from Nioh 2's dlc here, the toughest fights are battle scrolls where you fight like 3 bosses in a row.
>>733642285Its half and halfGames now look either the same or worse than games 10 years ago but perform worse, so now its noticeableI also have decent hardware and dont have the performance issues, but I do acknowledge that these recent titles heat up my gpu more than they should
>>733642285Did you ask chatgpt to make this ragebaitI give it a 1.5/10
>>733642326Well of course it had less than Nioh in general. Just saying that TN could've gone crazier with the guardian skills. Some are alright, but some feel like a wet noodle or are too floaty. Opportunist on fists feels more satisfying as a parry than the Tanuki slap, for example
Yo what happened to my niggas the onyudo? These fuckers struck fear into me when I first saw them as William and they could be pretty dangerous if you weren't careful in 2. If all the guys to copy paste from the last games why didn't they make the cut? Also, I feel like the AI is much less aggressive. If a nure-onna paralyzed you in 2 you bet your ass her grab is the next thing queued if it lands. Here it never happened. And they need to fix the humans walking backwards thing. You can just stand there and put your controller down and they won't do shit.
>>733642612>onyudoaren't those the little kids with big tongues that only get big after the manage to lick you? I saw a few in 3 but they were very lethargic and none of them managed to get a lick in.
>>733642706No they are the big monks with the long tonguesThey deck you in the fucking head
>>733642510I'm not baiting, it's time to upgrade from AM4 and your 3050.
>>733642706You're thinking of the midget cyclops, Onyudo were the slap happy demon monks with the garland of skulls around their neck. Also the big ass tongue and bulging eyes, because that's pretty common for Japanese monsters.
I find myself exclusively using Ninja Style not because I think it's better, but because it has Enemy Sensor and that's way too good for exploration
>>733642736>>733642792ah, right. then I guess they're extinct. will probably make a comeback in DLC, same as the long neck yokai and whatever else they didn't include.
>>733642756I'm not going to bother explaining to your mentally challenged brain so I will just call you a corpo boot licking retard and move on with my day. Great job for existing in my mind for 5 minutes. Now goodbye
>>733642612It's not just humans, Yokai will start backing off if another AI is attacking presently. It's kind of annoying given that they rarely bother to gang up on you to take advantage of their superior numbers in group fights.
>>733642793i use it because of izuna drop lol
>>733643716>switching to ninja stance only for izuna dropI hate that they took it away from fists
do you guys actually use all 4 weapons?I can barely remember how to use one weapon for Ninja and one for Samurai
>>733642793You could go for Ieyasu's set to get the dual spirit effects.
>>733643815cestus takedown 3 is like a gayer version, but talons feel so good, and the glowing ember mystic art and yokai banisher skill are like a small ki pulse that also lets me backstab
HANDGUN
>>733643858Yes. Well, i try.AP works with flash attacks. So if you got your enemy out of ki and you have a weapon type with a better damage output, you can flash attack into another weapon and continue combo chain. This works exceptionally well with the axe for example - you can seamlessly go its high damage attacks from a flash attack.Ninja has some really good flash attacks too. Hatchets move you back half the bloody screen away for example. Excellent reposition tool with good damage.
>>733638965Chigiriki are like japanese maces, that could make for a samurai weapon. But yeah, they kinda went through pretty much every type of weapon used.
I finally beat Nioh 2 and all I got was a stupid stone! Does it give me better drops only when the bar is full?
>>733638206>What's everyone's wish list for the upcoming DLC?a fun end game grind so we don't blow through all the new content in a couple of days, also QoL updates
>>733638206I wish for areas that aren't a black and red visual diarrhea.
>>733645262how do you manage to focus while playing
I was starting to forgive this game for being a letdown until I unlocked Ocean Zephyr only for my rage to multiply tenfold. WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THAT A SNAPPY DODGE USED BETWEEN MARTIAL ARTS TO KEEP STACKING THE COUNTER WORKS AS A HOLD MOVE? Can any brother here point me towards a mod for Fuku?
>>733645394well I assume she only has tits in the front so that's not much of an issue
>>733645394i'm just grinding scion of the gods now for my remaining 170 pieces, i do little photo sessions inbetween to keep my sanity>>733645459the back can be a bit distracting too
>>733643858No i want to keep my holstered weapon visible and having two makes you look like a dweeb, no option to hide only the inactive set, also 4 is just too muchI'm having fun actually using throwables and spells now, it's just so much better as replenishables
>>733638206I want them to go back and completely rework the open world enemy encounters. Add more enemies everywhere and make higher tier yokai more frequent.Also, add more variants of existing enemies.We're 3 games in and the big samurai skeletons still haven't learned to use any weapon other than the axe.Add some yokis with spears or glaives.Add a tengu wizard with fans that bombards you with wind/lighting magic.Add a magatsu warrior that dual wields 2 two-handed weapons with its 4 hands.It's way less effort than making entirely new enemies and can make the encounters a lot more fun.
>>733645553speaking of reworking the open world, get rid of the stupid sands shit and make all crucible shit and enemy camps enhanced by default
>>733645553>It's way less effort than making entirely new enemiesIt's really not since the bulk of the work is in animations and what you're describing are entirely new animation sets for humanoid enemies. Humanoid animations are inherently much harder which is why you see things like Bees being made as filler which are functionally non-animated
Stop trying to impregnate the banana oni
>>733646552It's the rules, I beat her twice in a fair fight and now she has to be my wife.
>>733638206More martial arts, especially for the odachi which can't even cancel quick attacks into them with the same degree of freedom other weapons can, but at least one or two for each weapon would be idealAlso more enemy types and aggressive AI
more like banana phoni amirite
>>733646947ring ring ring ring ring ring ringbanana phoni
>>733638206>add ninja mode, removes izuna drop from cestuses, and limits it to ninja due to ninja gaiden ninja shenanigans>bolting boar doesn't work on yokai anymorewhy'd they gut my two main weapons
>whitegoat doing lvl 1 nakes NG runLooks fun
>>733647102Both him and Blackboss started doing their obligatory CBT sessionsBoth seem to be predominantly samurai so no ninny shenanigans either
I'm in antiquity, i wasn't expecting anything but the story really is trash so farThe first 2 at least had a bit of engagement going but now it's completely reduced to "human doing bad thing because stones" with no garish
>>733647137Haven't watched much but for whitegoat is using a decent amount of ninja atleast in the open world.
>>733647162the answer is greedno one needs a billion dollars but billionaires exist
>>733638206gunkatno more purple goyslop levels with burning rocks, please ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
>>733647162The story exists to justify asset reuse.
>>733647162>first 2You mean Nioh 2You can't be looping Nioh 1 in that unless you've forgotten literally all of that game and John Dee's entire masterplan.
>>733638965WIRESFORNINJA
now THIS is 1kat kino! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dX7CdMfP54U
>>733647834>style shift flow works for same stance swapsMan I never knew that
>>733647834Bud, just catbox the NSFW images.https://catbox.moe/
>>733647834how do I get this grapple?
>>733647909i was trying to catbox yesterday, but i guess i had a shit link or something, page wouldn't load, thanks though https://files.catbox.moe/45tral.jpg
>>733648009Crucible skill
>>733647834that's how i'd aspire to play 1 kat, not spamming sword of meditation, i'd add benzaiten to the minamoto though for some extra versatility
>>733647808I would fucking cum
do you have hide weapons/headgear?I was thinking of just leaving 1 kat visible for maximum ludokino
>>733648158Can't hide weapons IIRC but you can hide helmet
>>733638965Hoop for Samurai
>>733648287>>733647808Both great suggestions
how the fuck do I get gold?forging is expensive as hell
>>733648737Sell shit or donate to your clan
>Almost done with the first map on my level 1 run without losing any amrita.Feel like a rich man with nothing to spend it on.
>>733648158Not individually. You only have the option to display or hide sheathed weapons in this one.
>>733648913Again, what the fuck is with this studio and half assed shit laying everywhere?I'm so sick of this
>>733648737filter so everything purple and below gets sold, then donate all your other shit to clan
>>733638206I dropped it. I feel like they went way too overboard with the loot autism. It was bearable in the previous game but having to lootmax incremental upgrades for two classes on one character now, it’s too much. I was spending more time in menus than playing the game. I also felt that enemy placement and the general level design has taken a large step backwards compared to the tightly curated design in previous games.Have fun without me, guys and see you back in Nioh 2.
What's with this nigga
>>733640393Pistol and shortsword combo could be neat, something akin to like a dragon Issin
>>733649249You a retard nigga just use the auto equip button
Please tell me that the final boss only has one health bar, or at least two with a check point inbetween? It's filtering me hard.
>>733647834>that finishholy kino
>>733648287Kinda sick actually
>it's a Hachiman episode
Love this white drip
>>733648287Absolutely the most retarded weapon
>>733650008if you die too many times it gets upgraded to four health bars
>>733650742The game notified me that the boss got bumped up to NG++ after I died 50 times in the fight
Will the dlc add tempering? Would be nice to not have to farm for extra toughness which in nioh 2 i rolled on every armor piece
How do I most easily craft an entire set? Just for the achievment where you have to equip every piece in a piece, so it doesn't matter which.
>download the new nude mode>the tits are so big they clip through every armorkekstill worth it
>>733651195get this while you wait for more outfit mods https://www.nexusmods.com/nioh3/mods/56https://files.catbox.moe/deuuea.jpg
where can i farm tonfas with paralyze?
Why the fuck am I on 98% kodamas and 99% shrines and I can't see any more on the map?
>>733651554Put some clothes on you dirty harlot
The ambush gaki got me again... now I gotta fight a fatter one. One day I'll learn to look up every so often. I've learned to check for traps near shines though.
>>733651905but that defeats the point of having a nude mod
>>733651071You get Ieyasus armor smithing text when you do his mission in the first map so probably that
>>733642087
>>733652183nude mods suck, I get the reason why someone likes them but they're meh
>>733638206Im six hours in, please tell me there some bespoke levels somewhere like the bathhouse, even as separate mini missions Nioh levels were dogshit but a few were actually kino
>>733653403The whorewhouse level was alright but otherwise it's pretty shit
>>733638965Sword and pistol for sam
>>733653202Skimpy mods are best, full on nudity looks silly in an action game
>>733638206bring back my boy william
>>733651579pretty sure this one is a guaranteed drop from somewhere
Was it safe to use a 100% drop chance trainer in Nioh 2? Do you know if it's safe in Nioh 3? I have such a trainer but so far I have only tried it in offline mode.
>>733638206An endgame loop, I want to play more I just don't want to mindlessly grind 3 the same 3 enemies in a hallway.
>>733655541no it downloads nerve gas on your computer
>>733655541>is it safe to use a trainer in a single player gameGee I wonder
>>733655706Well it's not 100% singleplayer though, that's why I'm asking, it has online elements. I guess there's no way to detect the droprate cheat in the end now that I think about it
am i just schizophrenic or are some of the locations in 3 lifted in some way from 2? i swear to god the layout of certain areas give me intense deja vu
>>733655791You can just go offline for the time you farm if you're concerned. I don't think there was ever any issue with max droprate cheatengine in N1/N2.
>>733639987enemy ki in general is horrible this time aroundmost bosses just totally ignore it, and it gets even worse with human enemies since they get tons of hyper armor all the time now.bakumatsu introduction faggot boss literally just turns on "infinite ki and no stun cheat" when he gets to half healtheven if you can just bulldoze him with some cheese RPG build its still lame as fuck for it to just be a raw stat check with no real way to play around it
>>733655791It's 100% safe. You can even go online and 1shot bosses for other people with cheat engine and nobody bats an eye

>>733656156https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ha1nuyW7dncOne of the intros you never skip
>>733656029>bakumatsu introduction faggot bossContender for the "easiest boss in the game" award
>>733656270he's talking about this guy? my tonfas raped his ki over and over
>>733638390Across the board they should retool the second skillsI would prefer they be buffs for instanceAlso the tanuki parry fucking sucks, doesn't burst counter, and sucks
>>733656270dat fucking yari ashigaru drip nigga.
fucking hell why are the statue soldiers so anal in 3
>>733656156https://youtu.be/A077Ux7RWOg
>>733639595It's a game made with a probably tight budget and time scheduleI'm basing this on the volume of reused stuff and the fact that the game has like 5 new yokai bossesAnd the cosmetic options are unacceptableAlso teahouse guy is important, but is alsmost strictly a dialogue NPC who doesnt yeet any dogshit tea-wares
>>733656010parts of bakumatsu are from rotr and at least the beginning of Heian is the same place you go in Nioh 2 DLC 1. I forget if there are others
>>733656792I still have no fucking clue how to deal decent damage to them
>>733638206Ninja gaiden x nioh
>>733656029Not as bad as that shinsengumi fuck
And add spider ninjas(tactical) to nioh3
What did you say that you wanted to see in the survey? For me it's>hub on each map instead of a single separate hub, so the player feels more a part of the game world and has more reason to exist in it outside of missions >Bloodedge Demon is a good way to give the player a reason to return to and interact with the main map after finishing the story. Make the rewards for killing one WORTH farming it, over us just camping a shrine in a crucible and killing mobs for more loot. >MORE dynamic events like Bloodedge Demon like respawning super bosses on the open world, or randomly spawning mini themed armies. This will make the player want to run around the world for loot rather than grinding a few enemies on repeat >There should have been some yokai exclusive to each time period to make the maps feel more unique. >Heian and Antiquity should have been a single map. Separating them made Heian feel half-baked and Antiquity an afterthought. If all of Heian was rolled into the Antiquity map you would have had 3 fully fleshed out maps. >It's OK to reuse Yokai enemies across this series. The more unique yokai the better. Just don't overuse them. The long-necked yokai were wildly overused in 2, as the jailer oni are in 3. >More dynamic events in-game like the one in Bakumatsu where you can kill Okita in a side mission to avoid the double boss in the crucible. >On the final NG cycle, have one of the maps be in "Twilight Mode" at a time, on rotation.This is the closest I've felt to an open world game where I just want to run around the actual world with my cool builds and kill stuff, they just need to give us more of a reason to do so
What's the highest % chance you can get untouched magic to? I just wanna spam fireballs at niggas.
>>733656950Weak to elementsWeak while attackingWeak while broken (don't miss your burst)Weak while all those things, from the rear Or you can just poke with a spear at range until they die
>>733656792I have 0 issues with ninja as stone sentries are comically slow dark souls 2 enemies that get gaped and raped from behind, add some water damage on top and it's over
>>733657065>they just need to give us more of a reason to do soAnd actually have enemies in the map, they are way too sparse. I'm not asking for mmo-tier situation where every 15 meters you meet a mob, but at least saturate the surroundings of enemy camps
>>733656156Really gives those ps2 games vibe
>>733656829Best track of nioh2, Otakemaru is 2nd place.
>>733657103Can't remember the exact number, but I'm pretty sure it's around 46%Samurai has to use the dual protection set that lets you get benefits from both guardian spirits and use ho-oh on both stances
>>733638206>What's everyone's wish list for the upcoming DLC?If you did everything, you fight fucking Enenra like four or five goddamn times and that dumb double nigger statue at least three times. I want more boss variety.
>>733657065I view jailer oni as a more threatening gakiGaki by comparison have zero threat Yes I know thorned gaki exist but you literally can't tell they're different other than how many people are dying to them
>>733657065>>Heian and Antiquity should have been a single map. Separating them made Heian feel half-baked and Antiquity an afterthought. If all of Heian was rolled into the Antiquity map you would have had 3 fully fleshed out maps.Anon, you know this wouldn't work from a plot standpoint right? There's no historical way to introduce Himiko as herself in Heian era, only her assumed identity. To show her origin and her conflict with Hiruko it had to be a different era
>>733656029I agree 100%. Ieiasu what's his name with the murakumo, and the other faggotlord with the axes, are incredibly unfun.
>>733657260>EnenraFuck off, faggot. We need more Kamaitachi representation.
>>733657157Shogun's Journey helps with that a bit with some cool new enemy placements, I like the Gozuki boss that replaces the staff guy in the farm fields for example, but yeah, hopefully in Nioh's Journey they'll go fully crazy with the enemy density.
>>733657373>hopefully in Nioh's Journey they'll go fully crazy with the enemy densityThey won't
>>733657164I dunno I find it hard to pick a favoriteAll the fights having 4 phases of music does wonders for the game's presentation
>>733657334Heian shouldn't have existed at all. We do almost nothing story related there. It all should have been part of Antiquity. We're talking about something that should have been done early in development anyway, it's not like I'm suggesting they change it now that the story is set in stone
>Purity splitstaff>Shincrusher spamYup, it's yokai grapplin' time.
>>733657337You don't fight ieyasu You're thinking kunimatsu TokugawaYeah summoner guy is a right prick though
>>733657492But how would you know that Yoshitsune was going through the same kind of brotherly shenanigans as you if not for the Heian era segment???
>>733657482It has been a while so a lot of the songs arent clear in my mind but the 3 that i can recall is azai's, otaku's and monkey's motif, so they tend to be my favorite.
Seeing as how everyone is insistent on being a faggot, let me finally be the one start things off heterosexually: >Bring back the thigh windows for Fuka (No more censorship)>Remove the "CE" from all the timestamps to "AD," because that's retarded secularist bullshit >Ibaraki Doji returns, only now we can romance her instead of that immortal Queen strumpet who who opened her legs for every warlord she came across >An option to fucking HIDE the second melee weapon for Samurai/Ninja. Holy shit, Koei, what the fuck are you doing. Nioh 2 would have made this is a standard package deal, baka >If Nioh 3 is going to insist on reusing assets, they may as well go all out and bring back every single fucking armor from Nioh 1 and 2. Not sure why this game is missing half of the fashion from 2 especially, but it's not fucking copacetic. Where is my Benkei set? Sarutobi armor? Nobunaga armors? Don't half-ass the reused asset>Buff Splitstaves and force whomever decided the Kobo Daishi set should be MEDIUM ARMOR instead of light to commit seppuku. What a retarded decision. No wonder I kept running out of ki my first time through. No Splitstaff build should revolve around medium armor gear. >Bring back William and the Shiftling
>>733656895>It's a game made with a probably tight budget and time scheduleclearly. doing NG+ at the moment and now that I can fast travel straight to the missions and skip all the pointless open areas I notice how short this game is.
>>733657492Not necessarily true, we start a pattern there to set a trendThe trend that is>Be the time policeIf it makes sense, it wouldn't be so obvious if it was just sengoku and bakumatsuBasically the game needed more time to cook
>>733657065>all of this text and nothing about censorship
>>733638206>wish list for the upcoming DLC?Fuku's hips in their full glory.
>>733656156For me it's Azai Namagasas theme made me really feel like shit when I was farming his ass for his smithing text and skill scroll. https://youtu.be/YN8Z76TXSrs?si=Jtm3XT-FuulJ92JQ
>80% damage reduction while attacking>Life recovery after amrita absorption>Extraction talismanYup its gaming time
>>733657803>Be the time policeFeels like a cheap side mission. They should have focused on doing shit across time that are directly tied to Hiruko and Kunimatsu's shenanigans. Heian is just "yeah this guy was being a bad boy with amrita too! >:)">>733657825If I had thought about it I genuinely would have included it but I was hyper focused on the gameplay because I really do enjoy this game. Slipped my mind
>>733657492They likely wanted to tell a story with some figures of that period. For the overall plot it isn't 100% necessary besides establishing the idea the cycle of repeated use of the Crucible has been going on throughout the ages and someone is behind it.
>>733658000WHERE THE FUCK DO I SLOT MY SLOTH TALISMAN?Trips of truth
>>733658038The conflict between tenguman and birdman is supposed to mirror the one between (you) and Kunimatsu.Which is all bullshit because tenguman should have been dead in 1190.
>>733657692Because she gave me so much trouble so it's burned in my mind>Tate eboshi's spooky lady doing the moan-singingI also think yoshimoto/the lightning elephant archer is really cool and sounds JapaneseAnd on that front im fond of mezuki since its the first taste the player has of how the music changes between normal/yokai realm (if you start with Nioh 2)I actually can't think of a song I feel meh about in Nioh except maybe enenra because as ankns have pointed out it's just discount xmen
>>733658000How are people stacking _80%_ damage reduction while attacking? Is it just grinding?
I think I am just getting to the end of the 2nd era after beating Ibaraki. What a ride. About how much of the game do I have left?
>>733657769>Bring back... The shiftlingOnly if they implement save syncing so it's [your dude]
>>733657793To be fair clearing NG+ was about the same pace in nioh2
>>733657769>secularistUnironic christcucks are still a thing?
>>733658283I think there's a clan with ~20%, a guardian spirit with ~10% and soul core with ~10%, the rest from gear sets/graces/substats or sth.
>>733657831By extension they should be more coomer esqueThey make fucking dead or alive, it's clearly a conscious choice in the nioh-likes when they don't implement coom
>>733658403https://www.youtube.com/shorts/zhtsoo-AgYs
>>733658284Quite a bit
>>733658284After Heian you have a relatively short side mission followed by 2 bosses in near succession, one of which is the game's biggest wall and gatekeeper to the final era. Then you just have Bakumatsu which is as long as you make it. It lets you skip almost all the side content if you want but there will be consequences to not cleaning up the Shinsengumi in the sword quest.
>>733658218Get rid of weakness. They'll tickle you anyway when facetanking>>7336582832 PC KintaroKongojishi guardian spiritYamatai piecesGozuki/Sentry Soul CoreKato Clan bonusesI could probably get this up to 86 if I add more yamatai but I like kintaro bonuses

>>733658478>why funny science nigger does X
>>733658218Proccing confusion (2+ elemental ailments iirc) is more important than a slowIt translates to what feels like the largest damage spike in the game
>>733656156This has been my favorite track in 3. Just hung out before the boss fight to listen to it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQwk8D9qBg0
>>733658540"minus damage taken while attacking" isn't a RNG stat as of right now. However the Yamatai heavy armor has it innately.
>>733658220Not with the power of amrita!
>>733651767You're probably missing something in the starting area for the Heian Era.You need to scroll the map all the way up to see it and it doesn't have a completion checklist for some reason.
>>733658124Oh I fully realize what they were going for, but the Pokemon brothers still felt mostly irrelevant and half baked.
>>733658572Is funny science nigger a christcuck, you dumb faggot?
>>733638206How about a DLC that DEcensors the game?!
>>733658780No clue, I don't watch him
Where is the crucible Sentry in NG+? I need the blue core
>>733658792Sell me a fan service pack TN, I don't givr a fuck if it's not in the season pass, call it 2010 and set it on Zack islandIll fucking pay for it Ill even buy dead or alive 7But FUCKING DO IT
>>733659047I'm assuming it's still in antiquity since I've never seen one out of itIt's bizarre that it takes until NG+ to unlock RNG crucible enemiesI unlocked half my blues just clearing crucibles on the map
>>733658792What makes no sense is they censor some tiny bit of the outfits but yet still allow the character to run around almost naked. I do not get the logic.
>>733658218Drop Life Leech, you can get better healing from Extraction and a couple Heal on Absorption effects on your gear.
>>733638332Timing Jecht's attacks is what gets your friends to hate you permanently.
>>733659047>I need the blue corefor what?
>>733659643So I can change the rare affix to whatever I want for my build
>>733657896Takechiyo's grandfather btw
don't you lose ki for getting hit
>>733660103you do but the lower your agility the less it happensalso you lose way more ki for getting hit while blocking depending on the attack
>>733658792decensor what?
>>733660158i'm just wondering how viable ungabunga is if the boss rapes your ki anyway when trading blows
>>733660476I think all the censorship seething is because of omyo slut doesn't have exposed thigh anymore, which granted, is tragic, but that's all I'm aware of besides localizer trannies forcing in Type A/B slop
>>733660764Where does she secrete those fluids?
>>733660630>localizer trannies forcing in Type A/B slopits even more funny when there are things you cannot cross anyway
>>733638206should i grab ng4 on sale while i wait for this to get cheaper
>>733660629it isbecause a clean hit to my knowledge rarely does a large amount of ki damage except for specific attacksand even then depending on your choice of guardian spirit you would just use guardian spirit to get your ki regenerating immediatelysince even ki pulse has a short delay before ki starts refilling
>nerf the shit out of female fashion that 95% of females CaC players will always remove the top on sam fashion >sexualize the SHIT out of yokai femaleswhat did they mean by this
>>733660890>for this to get cheaperlollmao>should i grab ng4 on saleSure, it's a decent game
>>733661191Bad women are allowed to be sexy
>>733647834>"Sekiro" buildPlease stop....TOP! CEASE!
>>733661191Don't forget the main girl is an uggo whore
>>733661252This but unironically. Japan has autistic "rules" about portraying heroines vs portraying villainesses in media for some reason
>>733661191I like her but I was a little disappointed something cooler wasn't in the coffin.
>>733661191Seriously, Ibaraki is the single biggest demonic waifubait in the series. She exists to repeatedly lose and submit to you, she even acknowledges how strong you are.
this game killed my PSU, I just went out and replaced it with a new one but damn. be careful if you try playing this on an rm750, I upgraded to rm1000x and it seems to be doing ok now…
>>733661626At least it didn't fry your GPU like it did mine
>>733661626A game cannot kill your psu, your system was unstable in the first place.
>>733647834How does he cancel the endlag of Reverse Impact?
>>733661529>the single biggest demonic waifubait in the series.Aren't you forgetting someone...?
So if I switch clans, I keep the bonus I unlocked and can mix and match clan bonuses?
>>733661816>forcing my way through Nioh 2 after dropping it because I didn't care about the story a t a l l compared to 1>get to this SHIT Orochi reskin>summon people to blast me through the rest of the gameThat shit was the final straw

>>733657669Yes exactly, Kunimatsu. That's who I meant.

>>733662846what
im so cute!
Onmyo sorcerer should be a third class. It would have given give Neoh 3 a trifecta.
>>733662806>>733662882Go into the options and enable more pages. Somewhere in those menus is the setting.2 is the default, but you can get up to 4.
>>733662891You look 'special'.
>>733663021i may be stupid but im not retarded!
Nioh as a series operates on a historical character power tier difficulty setting; whereby the games are easier or harder depending on how historically powerful the character you are playing as would be based on their characteristics in a blend of the game world's version of history and actual history.-William Adams, a westerner adoptive samurai with some prowess for seeing spirits, and a man in an unfamiliar land, was granted a small estate by Tokugawa Ieyasu, so playing as him, we have the toughest time of it and the most struggle to overcome.-Hide, a half-yokai, half-human with extraordinary powers as a result, who was also secretly the behind the scenes half of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's powerbase would be extremely powerful. Thus Nioh 2 is relatively easy, with only a few stumbling blocks, often when facing the most powerful yokai.-Takechiyo, grandchild of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and hand picked to ascend to the seat of shogun by Ieyasu himself, was trained by Ieyasu's closest advisors from a young age and has an ability for seeing spirits as well. As such Takechiyo would be very powerful and thus Nioh 3 is relatively easy, except in the cases where you come up against someone with similar pedigree: Hiruko or Kunimatsu for example.
>>733662939>dumb down even more weapons to give yet another casting class
>finish NG+now what?
>Oh no! My healing is all gone and both the boss and I are close to death, what will I-Oh wait I have a gun. Ggez not even close.
>>733663348Now you either grind for the absolutely minmaxed gear that will be obsolete after the next update or wait for the DLCs
>>733663348Wait a year I guess.As a PC fag who only played Nioh1 and 2 once they were out with all dlcs already makes me feel like Nioh 3 is just straight up unfinished, so much shit missing.
>>733663246Ieyasu was a fat nigger opportunist who did nothing of importance but profit off the exploits of his two betters. Imagine having everything handed to you on a plate and your rule only lasts 200 years lmao
>>733639696samefag
>>733663246this is one of the dumbest non-off topic posts I've ever read
>>733661746>endlag
>>733663348I join coops to see wacky things. Yesterday I saw a guy got his jump interrupted and fell to his death by a rock from Gaki lmao.
>>733663672Yet it scales the difficulty of the games perfectly
>>733663856Do you just let them walk into traps you know are there or do you try and clear is before they get hit by the ceiling gaki?
>>733647834it's kinda cool to see this guy play nioh after he avoided the series for so long. also, funnily enough, i fought kunimatsu the same way sans build>>733661746he's using a style shift cancel skill
>>733638206Tanto. Dual Pistol. (they add it to every game then make it unusable)
>>733664089I usually just follow the host. Clearing everything would ruin their experience.
>>733663548counterpoint: he is DUH SHOGUN and is just simply better than you on a genetic and spiritual level
>>733663856I really like random coops. Just now we almost made it to the crucible boss but host just randomly exploded to death because of jailer oni.>>733664191There are so many people in coop that run around clearing everything with elemental spam.
Nioh 1 is how you end a game. Orochi opening up the fighting area shows it knows PRESENTATION! Ignore the epilogue
>1katAmazing rebalance of almost the entire kit. Several previously terrible moves (Reverse Impact, Severing Spin, Swift Step) are now absolutely incredible. For some reason high stance light combo chain has more lag between attacks.>2katBy far the best iteration of the weapon yet. Rajin is finally good. Sign of the Cross became even better as it pierces through, cementing it as the best iai weapon. Inputs were spread out in a way that gives you access to almost the entire kit at once which is something you see with other weapons too.>AxeOf all weapons, Axe received the biggest buff and rework. Finally has attacks on basically every input. Got ridiculous new abilities like Victory Rush. Feels insanely fluid and fun to use, in some ways reminds me about monhun hammer now thanks to the way it combos flow with frost moon. Amazing>CestusLiterally in the "improving the perfection" territory. The only bad thing i can say about it is that Ocean Zephyr's new input method sucks, it should be on a guard dodge and not guard + hold dodge, that shit exists to maintain stacks and i cannot do it right now.>SpearReceived nothing truly new but generally got most of its kit buffed and moved around. The fact you get Triple Threat early is ridiculous.>SwitchglaiveFrost Moon and stance switch abilities give the weapon essentially 6 ways to end or chain any combo. Gets Arc of Chaos and Mumyo's mid stance hold super early now so it's even stronger than it was in 2.>OdachiOf all the samurai weapons, the only one that feels nerfed. Too many hold triangle inputs but two vacant guard X slots. Bolting Boar is gigafucked and is essentially useless. Most hold triangle abilities feel nerfed for no reason. Cool new low stance skills and a powerful fire aoe, but otherwise feels like a pale shadow of its former self. The only weapon that really needs a buff. At least let me map more skills.
>>733663548it cant be helped when every one keeps jobbing
>>733664670And then the actual fight starts and it's the second biggest piece of shit in that game behind Gashadokuro
>>733664670If presentation is what you want, 3 beats it tenfold>the fucking floating castle reveal>the climb as you get assailed by assmad Murakumo>the insane zero gravity castle>the fucking Death Veil gauntlet as everyone cheers on you>the god damned final Hiruko changing the arena's element
>>733663548>be person in time of great strife>things get hairy time and time again>manages his enemies and allies to enough of a degree that he won the shogun bowl and didnt die on the way to itidk sounds like he was pretty clever
>>733663856I had a guy summon me while he was out wandering around ice land last night. He was over by the set of busted houses you have to cross to get to the island with a spirit vein that leads to a master. Not sure if he was revisiting to go fight it or if it was his first time through the era. Anyways, I load in and spin my camera to orient on him, only to watch as a Jailer Oni nails his ass with the ice projectile mid jump and makes him drown.
If they do not add gun/1h sword or saber or something that should already be in the base game this entire game was a waste of fucking time and so was Rise which was just a beta version of this game. Seriously there was no fucking point to this shit if they don't add more weapons.
>>733663548Sounds like he was an extremely smart person.
>>733647834That guy is too good at video games
>>733663548I wouldn't mind my rule lasting 200 years.
>>733663246William has the most powerful bullshit in the game. All of the stackable armor bonuses got drummed out of the entire series because of how easily William trivialized everything.
Why did he do it
>>733665467Amrita autism.
>>733664696I find myself going back to standard sign of the cross and raijin. The extra range and lightning damage isn't necessarily worth that much delay. I also don't like that it primarily has only parries in samurai style. Funnily at least random slice has viable tracking now and can tidal wave away certain enemies.
>>733665467He had a bad day and it was Monday so he was salty he had to get up for work.
>>733665467he saw the nigger and thought it was a yokai and his lord was fraternizing with them, there for he must kill his lord.
>>733665629Yeah random slice is super strong now. Rajin's delay doesn't bother me because you should mostly use it as a zero ki punish to begin with.
what does the "there's a strong negative ki" message in coop mean?
>>733642612A bunch of yokai like tesso, onyudo and namahage are missing. We can only assume they're being withheld for DLC.
bets they're delaying the first balance pass until after the new 1million sales models armor is done?
>>733666412I still can't get over how cute Scampusses are
>>733638206I wish cost of main game going down to 60 monay so that I can get it at a reasonable price during a sale
>>733666538
>>733638206Why did they censor her?
>>733638206>DLC is 40$
how is co op calculated? is it just level based? if i already farmed my way up to like 230 should i be de-leveling and throwing it into silibar ingots if i want to actually play with other people?
>>733666974No the game scales your stats down, you dont have to do the souls thing
>>733666918you have 6 fucking months to save up, go lawn or sell fish or something
>>733664696odachi bouncing off of blocking humans in mid stance now is a fucking war crime
>>733666918Good.
>>733667040Really?So I could have been playing with my friend on my main instead of my ninja which Im not really liking?
>>733666918You could've bought the ultimate edition at release for 75 bucks
>>733638206>What's everyone's wish list for the upcoming DLC?>DLC1Samurai style SplitstaffNinja style SpearNew Samurai weaponNew Ninja weaponBetter levels and more variety with the visuals for levelsReturn of enemies like Namahage and othersNew NG+ difficulty introduces DLC enemies to the base game>DLC2New Samurai WeaponNew Ninja WeaponMore old enemies return and more DLC enemies are introduced to the base game on the new difficulty
>>733666918Nioh is worth every penny
>>733662806>>733662857options? what the fuck are those?
I just want ninja 1kat to have more skills, and balance it some.It might as well just be the kicking weapon at this point.
>>733667156i miss these enemies
>>733638206Samurai stance for weapons that don't have itI miss high stance split staff so much
>>733667139>So I could have been playing with my friend on my main instead of my ninja which Im not really liking?what on earth are you talking about, your main and your ninja share the same stats and level, just not the same gearand even if they didnt yes thats correctits not 100% intuitive but>story>host>open slot to friiendsand then it should be fairly easy to spot your friend's play sessionthe multiplayer system is seamless and works very well and im kind of annoyed no one talks about it more
>>7336646961kat also has arguably the best low and mid stance frost moon attacks.
>>733667297the dash spamming combo is good at getting back shotsthe backflip into slash past is also good for positioningits more that the quick>kick martial art combo comes out remarkably fast and does way too much damage for anyone to have any reason to try the other moves in the kit
>>733667416I mean a separate character I made for that playthrough obviously.
I burnt out on Bakumatsu and can't even finish the base gameI hate ubislop collectibles. It feels like I'm just checking boxes. It's so fucking boring.
>>733667634So stop doing them?Are you an idiot with no self control?
>>733667364>we lost the candy vans>instead we got 1-off exploding chariotsI HATE TEAM NINJA AIIIIEEEEEEEE
>>733667668Im autistic and need to collect everything
>Reverse Impact was based on Shigurui's technique>in Shigurui it's basically a lighting fast instakill if it lands but with a considerable end lag>in 2, Reverse Impact sucked ass and was too weak>now it's actually exactly as strong as it should beBasado
>>733667668>Eat around the shit in your plateNigger
>>733667634>>733667748You know it's better to just blast through the main obvious stuff and then grab the collectables afterward?the game auto shows you where everything is on the map that way lolso instead of spending 40 minutes trying to find that specific thing you just bring up the map and "oh it's right there" and spend maybe 2 minutes teleporting back somewhere to snag it real quick.
Is Mystic Dyad in this game?
>>733667917No, not yet at least.
>>733667917No, plenty of stuff is missing (read: waiting for dlc)
>>733667748>im burnt out>but also autistic and need to collect everythingno no noyoure just fucking stupid
>>733667297Now that's an interesting idea for a weapon.
This game is bananas why didn't /v/ tell me nioh series is batshit (good)
>>733638206gun weapon
>>733668229not as interesting as an actual fleshed out unarmed moveset>inb4 cestus/claws
Finished the game last night it really is a step down from nioh 2.>Last 3rd of the game is just dogshit and the 4 lesser crucible fights might be the worst "boss rush" I have seen in a game.>Story makes no sense and feels like they only did time travel to justify the resused asset's>No William is just terrible>The bosses feel like TN saw Elden Ring and went fuck yeah what if we had those move sets and then adden Element damage to every attack>Open world is just ubislop>Game is just not fun to play the farther in you get
>>733668206Explain >>733668564 thenIt's obvious the last part of the game is a boring slog
>>733668229Cestus has a ton of kick attacks.
>>733668623not my experiencemost people get bored in all games in all genresYou would know that if you talk(ed) to people about the games they "burn out" of on the regularnot my problem you have an adderall dependency
>>733668564Most of that is arguable but the story really is weirdly bad. It practically doesn't even exist. There are almost no present characters to even tell one, much less for a Nioh game.
>>733668640Hatchet has the best kick move.
>>733668564Correct on all counts except one, impressive
>>733666412I'm not playing until they make it a lot harder so they better hurry the fuck up
>>733668623Worked on my machine.
>>733668763Nah. It's just that I stop playing games if I stop having fun.Beat plenty of games last year, and even this year.
>>733668640Yeah, but I'd like a kick based weapon that has a small handful of punches. I don't really think it's something they could pull off in Nioh, though. I can, however, see them adding in a weapon or a moveset like this in their next Wo Long/RotR styled game.
>>733662806Takechiyo is just not as good at yokai summoning and onmyo magic as Hide
>>733668976"Beat plenty of games last year, and even this year."okay, then they were fast enough for your ADD brain, again, its a you problemDiscovering everything is piss easy, and theres a decent amount of variety but everything is intuitively designedagain, not my problem and no one forced you to collect everythingwhich for the record is different from beating the game
Still won't top Nioh 2
>>733668792>have a perfectly serviceable story line with fighting Kunimatsu and the rebellions that will be featured in the DLCs without time travel>durrrrr lets introduce this ancient whore, her evil brother and go to Heian and Bakumatsu for little to no reason
>use living artifact>the long ass scene plays>scene drops me in the middle of the boss' combo>stop locking on the boss for some reason so I don't even know where the boss is>get hit constantly>living artifact endsWhat a fucking piece of shit transformation
>play coop>get summoned for the first crucible boss>accidentally kill him in 10 seconds, cucking the hostSo there are no level limits and the bosses don't receive half damage if one cooperator and 1/3 if two? Game balance is fucked.
>>733638206Rebalance the game so it's not so pitifully easy.trying out Todo and how bullshit broken that is made me notice that simply doing the opposite would help this game a lot.So yeah just slash the player's max HP by 50% (and fix Todo) and then we should be good.
>>733638965Blunt damage and a throw like the switchglaive skill. Also bring over the whip from wo long. I would love if we got the chinese saber moveset from wo long as well.
wow they really styled the shisengumi outfit up for this game.I wish they stuck with the striking blue. it's got that something.
>>733668792Nioh didn't have a great story all that much but even really simple things are worse in 3.Your brother just spends the entire game being a fucking bitch.>wahh I'm so much more talented than the MC>I SHOULD BE SHOGUNContrast with 2 where Tokichiro starts out a really good, friendly guy who just wants peace between men and Yokai and gets corrupted.Maybe it's a jap thing what with their fixation on being fucking perfect and social order putting the most talented as the only people to be valued, but I can't see anyone finding the shogun kid tragic or relatable in 3. He's just a whiny bitch complaining for no reason.
>>733669208from what I've seen it's the expeditions that scale you down while being summoned as a visitor just lets you steamroll shit
>>733669220nigga its your own fucking choice to pick todowhat the fuck are you talking aboutyou are going into the options menu in skyrim and turning the difficulty slider to "very easy" and then complaining that the game isnt challenging you enoughuse another fucking clan you mouth breather
>>733667776But now iai quickdraw is useless.
>>733669208If you really want to cheese you can summon two phantoms and fuck the boss in 3 seconds
How are the Yokai Shifts in 3?
>>733669337shit
>>733669310It was useless since 2. They overnerfed it after how strong it was in 1. At least they salvaged night rain, and tiger sprint is as useful as it ever was.
>>733669290It's in line with Yoshinobu being corrupted and tyrannically crushing Kyoto
>>733669375Shit in a good way or in a bad way?
>>733669337there's no more yokai shift, you get living weapon again, and its still really powerfulyokai abilities are now onmyo items you ready and they are used like items, but you can still auto cancel into them if you want with a pretty low cost skill
>>733669290The shinsengumi outlets in RotR were great. Shame you got cucked hard if you sided with them.>>733669307Regardless of that, 100% extra HP for the cost of one of your clan slots is just laughable. Shinsengumi is way overtuned as well.
>>733667776is he grabbing the sword with his toes for a slingshot effect?
>>733669337There are no yokai shifts, dumbdumb
>>733669337Very spammable once you get a passive that charges it with guardian spirit attack and a bunch of pleiades passives. Changes your weapon's light attacks and gives each weapon a super attack.There's a passive that cuts the timer but stops it from being depleted by enemy attacks that makes it truly feel like a super mode
>>733642183Fire pillar and stone spikes were fantastic to throw into your combos.
>>733669501That is actually exactly what he's doing.
>>733669501Initially he was planting the sword into the ground to slingshot the blade at super high speed but then started using his fucked up toes for support so he's no longer restricted to certain terrain.
>>733669493>the cost of going into the options menu for 4x hp in skyrim is simply TOO LOW>the OPTIONS MENU is TOO LOW COST>NERF THE OPTIONS MENU
>>733669337You only get 1 burst counterYokai skills are independent summons that miss half the time due to the delay for summoning themIt's the pokeball set up the girl had in 2 DLCShift form is just your equipped weapon with a slightly adjusted moveset Yokai skills are locked to specific guardian spirits, function as optional burst counters, and cannot be changed outHalf the weapons have no stances Ninjutsu is now mapped to face buttons, replenishes on hitOnmyo now works by junctioning soul cores, different cores provide different talismansYou can pick either a pokeball or a junction for talismans
>>733669307It's too easy even without Todo you stupid nig.This "You control the buttons you press" cope argument is bullshit, it's the devs' job to balance the game, not me.They need to fix Todo, there's no excuse around it. And they need to either make the enemies more aggressive, or increase the enemy numbers, or make them hit a lot harder, along with less max HP in general.>reddit spacingfuck you. Using the features of the game has nothing to do with a difficulty option, again completely retarded.
Is the third map really this small or does it open up?
>>733669650It's bigger than the second (unless you mean the Yamatai era, that's just a literal Nioh level)
>>733669649>It's too easy even without Todo you stupid nig.Without Todo it's literally the same difficulty as any other Nioh game, i'm getting chunked for 80% of my HP on ng+ in particular.
>>733669649refer to >>733669619
>>733669650It's small and full of exactly one (1) Yokai which was two (2) moves and is just a stone guy.There is nothing else to see or do.Have fun.
>>733669650Bakumatsu? It's fucking big.
>>733669783>Without Todo it's literally the same difficulty as any other Nioh gameNo, just no, it's not anywhere near close and I replayed the older games just to check, the previous games are like 10 times harder especially in the beginning.
>>733669612>>733669617amazing
If you damagemaxx, can you actually kill the giant crow or does it always fly away?Same question with the exploding wheel monk chariots, before they explode.
>all these people glazing nioh 2 saying it's better in every way despite the gameplay in 3 being better>nioh 3 isn't even complete yet because no dlc have been released yettell me how i know you haven't cleared the depths in nioh 2 without telling me you haven't cleared it.
>>733669879>he previous games are like 10 times harderyou're fucking retarded lmaonioh 1 is completely lethargic compared to shit 3 dumps at you
>>733638206Challenging NG+ that makes summoning be useful. Revamp the co-op setup to enter a waitlist instead of fail to connect > retry. Make it so that you can stay looking for coop while in training ground so that you can test out other weapons while waiting at least. Make the co-op better instead of an afterthought. Make the DLC harder to incentivize summoning.
>>733669929The crow that shoots volleys of purple crows at you in Heian?You need to shoot it at each encounter until it flies away. If you made it fly off each time, you kill it at the last location.
So many people told me Sword of Meditation was good but I can't for the life of me find an opening to use it against bosses
>>733669929>If you damagemaxx, can you actually kill the giant crow or does it always fly away?You can't kill itt. tested it with one shot cannon builds
>>733668987>kick cycle>spinning kicks>strong attack combos>defensive drop+sunrise>dancing kick>fracture foe>stomp>high stance frost moon>the kick sweep ender of reckless chargeCestus basically already is a kick weapon with a small handful of punches. Well, okay, not really but you can definitely do a "kick build" and put a heavy emphasis on kicking things with it. I like to repeatedly chain kick cycle, spinning kicks, and high frost moons together for a nonstop high kick barrage.
>>733669983That's objectively false.
So what's the best way to grind title for weapon specific kills?
>>733669856antiquity
>>733670125You're objectively retarded or just flat out dogshit at video games.
>>733670125>the "10 times harder" games in question
>>733670191It's like 2 Nioh maps patched together. It was a huge disappointment
>>733670101Defensive drop sunrise is one of the best cestus abilities too. Especially once you realize how many attacks you can duck under.
>>733670278it IS 2 nioh maps patched togetherthere's another area after antiquity that's larger than warring states and has more to do
>>733670259That's a fucking Yoki, a "hard" enemy from the first level of the first game. They haven't gotten harder.
Ninja>High assrape damage>Fast>Agile>Big-ass damage from regenerating ninjutsuSamurai>Slow>Shit dodge>Uhh you can block>You can build up your cum meter to try doing a combo which will get interruptedidgi, this shit sucks, why the fuck would I ever switch to Samurai
Nioh 2's difficulty is all pretty frontloaded desu.Once you get past Yatsu no Kami it's completely smooth sailing until maybe Ryomen Sukuna if you're slow on the water arrow dodging. And then nothing until Otakemaru himself.Saito the cheater Toshimizu wasn't even in the base game either. He was added in an update to the base game alongside various other arena boss battles.While Nioh 3 enemies do go down easy it's not like their predecessors were particularly hard either.
>>733670356>they backloaded almost everything in to BakumatsuNot sure how to feel about this
>>733670480I thought Nioh was supposed to be challenging
>>733670051you don't have to do the full charge every time. the short version might be fine. against yokai you can use something like a scampuss, or skeleton summon while they're out of stam so they stay stunlocked while you do your autism walk.
>>733670405this is dream of the niohhe has 3 billion amritain a late game areanioh 1 is hard if you have cerebral palsy or frequent amnesia + narcolepsy nioh 3 bosses run fucking laps around every single enemy and boss in nioh 1 combined. just because your autistic ass has PTSD from getting one shot back in 2014 does not mean that it is a hard game, people were just used to playing fucking zeldas where you could rubberband the shield button down in a boss fight and go make a sandwich during it
>>733670574Nioh is like PoE or Warframe: only as challenging as you make it out to be
I like yoki because they're fun punching bags. The ninja kusarigama variants don't fuck around though.
>>733670473Ninja does not have anything approaching high damage, except a couple of ninjutsu. Samurai looping powerful martial arts disintegrates the entire game. Use heavy armor on samurai, then never get interrupted again.
>>733670639The fags with handcannon and DLC 3 yoki versions are by far the biggest bullshit.
>>733670639>The ninja kusarigama variants don't fuck around though.Fuck the cannon Yoki as well. Scary nigs desu especially when they get purple in later difficulties.
>>733670512they only really backloaded the very strong skills to bakumatsuthere's plenty to actually collect in all the regions, small ones included, but unfortunately a lot of the early game stuff is trash like the charged heavy aerial skills or some shitty ninjutsu or somethingthe skillpoints are always welcome though. really hoping they add more skill points to NG+ cycles, that would make me 100% the game again if they did
How do I get shitloads of travel amulets? I can buy them from Sudama bro but he can't let you fill your storage with them, only the 20 you can hold at a time.
What's the homeward bone equivalent and how do I get it? I need to evacuate a million amrita from the bossfight.
>>733670625I don’t understand this move it says the sword needs to be sheathed but then it has to be set at one of the stance positions.
>>733670473>shit dodgeMy 2kat's Minds Eye would like to have a word with you after class.
>>733670473I switch to samurai after ki breaking as a ninja. You build up the cum meter in ninja. It's very easy to chain from one form to another and punish as a samurai. Yokai skills are there only if I fuck up the flow from getting hit, I can still punish using one of those once they're broken. Ain't no ninja skill hit as hard as a cum meter 1kat doing that broken ass downward ground attack you unlock. I don't know the name of it but who the fuck was responsible for balancing the damage that one skill does?
>>733670661ninja can kill some bosses in a single light attack string from behind with buffs
>>733670661I'm doing 26k damage with a charged tonfa strike on bosses, I'm not seeing what in the Samurai's arsenal gets remotely close. Unless you keep spamming a combo and you somehow luck out and it doesn't get interrupted by a nigger tossing a rock.
>>733670634"Hard" as in "how hard it is to complete the game", not cherry pick a single enemy you retard. Nioh1 is harder to finish than Nioh3. Even level hazards in Nioh1 are harder, for example, the infamous boat/water level. You are so retarded that you might also be insane.
>>733670864sword of meditation can hit for 6 digits
>Can't do chain Iai quickdraws because the semen gauge fucks with your ki>Trying to do another Iai after a Iai just sheathes your swordWhat a GARBAGE fucking system.
>>733670813which move? Flowing Mist? that teleporting parry? it can't work with a sheathed sword because you need to hold down block to activate it. that stuff is just a description of what the character does (which is sheathe the sword when you click the button)
>>733670949just chain flux + frostmoons inbetween iai
>>733670765When I said "backloaded" I meant that they dumped most of the content in the last zone, Bakumatsu. It had most side quests and battle scroll missions (might be wrong on the battle scrolls point). Overall it was what each zone should've been
>>733670926And you'd have a better chance of winning the lottery than landing it, so that's kinda irrelevant to the conversation.
>>733670949You can chain iais, it just has finicky timing. I've managed to chain 3 before fucking it up. Seems like a tighter window than it was in 2 during the pulse. It's also just not as impressive. Maybe if you pull it off at the end of a bigger combo when your meter is maxed out, but half the time the bosses move or back up during part of your string anyway.
Is the "Demon of pride" suposedly to be doable as soon as you unlock him? I tried but hits like a fucking truck. Lvl 65 btw.
>>733670985Yes the parry I think it says “from a sheathed stance” or something but I guess it’s just describing the attack
>>733671029samurai passive skill gives you hyper armor with active semen gauge and is free to chain infinitely with flux and frostmoon
>>733670473>>733670856>slow>shit dodgepick neitherhttps://x.com/xelod93/status/2024135767270855092
>>733670813You can sheathe in any stances, like iai quickdraw and the move sheathes it for you anyway so just be in mid stance.
>>733669310Nah it's still a powerful move. Just not busted
>>733671080Absolutely, but it is an optional fight for a reason.
>>733671029I literally walk through attack barrages and hit them once.
>>733671080It's technically doable but it's not meant to be done at the level you're are
>>733671080He's a superboss with level 90 loot. Beat him now, it's funnier this way.
>>733671150It does like half the damage of moves that take a quarter of the time. That fucking attack where you dig the sword into the ground and slash it upwards does double.
>>733669172Just turn the scene off
is it normal to be so out of breath?i'm ki pulsing yet it takes like 2 attacks to erase that bar. feels more old man lung cancer than dark souls. guess i'm impatient.
>>733671049You can chain Iais perfectly without the semen gauge. If the semen gauge activates Iai doesn't consume Ki(?) i guess so you can't do a pulse+sheathe combo.
who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to shoehorn me into playing dexfagwhy are half the weapons gone if i don't want to play dexfagninja more like fucking twirly queen estrogenmancer gay
>>733671301Early game I'm presuming? It's normal in the early levels
>>733671301The strong attack button will do just that.Make sure you are ki pulsing properly and not prematurely so you get the ki back instead of like 50% back. And also start your fluxing or aim to unlock that.
>>733671301lower your weight class. agility increases the amount of stamina it costs to attack, C agility is a huge downgrade from B
>>733670949Stop trying to play the game like nioh 1 and play it like nioh 3.
I think Kurama Sword Dance SUCKS!
nioh 1 is an arcade gamenioh 2 is a rhythm gamenioh 3 is devil may cry
>>733643858I do. More like two or three at a time depending on the enemy.Staff + Hatchets + Spear as my main trio, with guest appearance from 2Kat.Staff and Hatchets have great synergy together, especially their Weapon Flashes.Staff and Spear together are excellent at generating a ton of Spirit/Jutsu/Arts, I never have to let up with Powerful Shift.Hatchets + 2Kat to force my way through the guard of human enemies.
>>733671405yeah i just finished the first castle with axe>>733671453i was heavy on the strong attack button yeah, but mobs can be so tanky and grabby so i probably shouldn't do that.>>733671467ah right, i went stamina/magic build but i'm heavy. i wanted to guard like as a turtle.
>>733669783Yep, Shinpachi can instantly kill you with Thunderbolt without it.
>>733671535Same. It's just too long.
>>733671706your best bet for guarding is to just learn to deflect unfortunatelythere is a passive skill later on that makes the window easier, and its easier to recommend because its a 30% buff to the deflect window
>>733671764what's that skill called/how do I get it? I've been using 3 pieces the swordmaster set for a similiar bonus, but a skill would be nice.
>>733671925Have you looked at your skill window?
>>733667156>Samurai style Splitstaffnot happening>Ninja style Spearalso not happening
>>733671925deflection expert is the name of the skill, i dont remember where i got it but i think its kind of far into the game. it might be on a sudama shop? sorry, i finished all collectables like a week ago or something
>>733670784Summoners candle from outside, travel amulet from inside
>>733669983>literally lying
>>733671993wrong. you get it after act 1. it's under the blacksmith's building
>>733670259You're disingenuous as fuck.

>>733672092Elden Ring still has player summoning, ergo it is well implemented, Nioh3 will have no summoning in two months.
>>733672092>Compare to souls games where the multiplay is so clunky and cumbersome it might as well be an afterthoughtHey fuck you! We have 3rd party mods that make the co-op almost bearable!!Nioh 3 PvP when?
>>733672081>under the blacksmith's buildingsomewhere around the guy who bathes in shit?
>>733672192Nioh pvp would be just silly like Diablo 2 and Path of Exile 1 pvp. Not as crazy and incomprehensible, but just as retarded lmaoPeople would make pvp builds that seem untouchable and unbreakable for anyone who accidentally took part in it without knowing every secret of the mechanics.

>>733672191Nioh 2 has been active since launch.Hell coop was still active in Nioh 1 in 2022 when I went back and 100%’d it on ps4. Nioh’s coop is way more open than Fromsoft’s because there’s no level gated (and weapon upgraded) matchmaking, anyone can play with anyone.Which is terrible for balance, if you ever summon in Nioh you can expect them to just kill boss in 2 seconds. But it makes finding games very easy, the game can maintain a healthy coop system with very low player count.
>>733672373>Nioh pvp would be just silly like Diablo 2 and Path of Exile 1 pvpExactly, but it would be a nice sideshow from all the grinding. I'm probably the only one who wishes for the PvP system from Nioh 1 to return.I guess we can't have fun for the sake of fun anymore
>>733672191Elden Ring summoning wasn't looking too great last time I tried it. My sign didn't get a single summon for an hour on Consort Radahn. Nightreign and seamless must've split the coop players even more
>>733672680Nono I much prefer arbitrarily over leveling and having no one to interact with
>>733672192>Constantly runs away to throw hatchets and kunai at you
>>733672674>Trading hits>In a game where your poise is shit and every move gets interruptedNigger just admit you're a heavy armor shitter who can't press an input on time to save his life.
>>733672926>teleports behing youNothing personnel, kid
>>733672191ER's random coop is dead for years. Fucking try to queue right now and take how long it takes to find a single match.
>>733672991NTA but there's a skill that stops that from happening.
>>733672926>>733672993>dies>quick change scroll spawns you in the air>get a plunging attack on the other guy who just killed you
>>733638206Nioh 2 > 3 > 1
>>733672191>Nioh3 will have no summoning in two months.i don't think that'll ever be the case. I got summoned for co-op very regularly in 2 throughout its entire lifespan
>>733672904I don’t understand why no one can seemingly do downscaling properly.Overleveled phantoms in Fromsoft are just insanely overpowered, and Nioh as well, the game attempts to downscale higher level players, but you’d barely notice because the effect is so minimal it might as well not exist.Every dev doing it seems to be overly cautious when downscaling, like they don’t wanna accidentally make a high level player worse than a lower level one, but the result is always just being super overpowered. Especially in Fromsoft games where overleveled phantoms require a password to even appear, they should be nerfed to be statistically worse than an on-level person.
Where is Yasuke?
>>733673098This but 1 > 2 > 3
>>733673165Died with Nobunaga's storyline, sadly
>>733672991Even if that were true at least I play the game>Certain attacks have poise built in>Certain sets have conditional poise>There are skills that apply poise>Landing your hit but still eating a hit and getting flinched out of a combo is still a trade Again if you can't fathom that concept you're a fucking idiot and I'm just as retarded for trying to get through your tard ass logic
>>733670259Yep, the Nioh 2 wank around here is embarrassing
>>733673165Didn't William kill him?
>>733673098>>7336731922 > 3 > > > 1
>>733673341Them's fighting words nigga
>>733672802I can def see your point, in my opinion the worst thing after a tacked-on and unnecessary pvp system is a pvp system that is never implemented in fear of it being too unbalanced or broken.
>>733673159>Nioh as well, the game attempts to downscale higher level players, but you’d barely notice because the effect is so minimal it might as well not exist.In Nioh the real problem is the calamities and hell skills are very strong>Now have 3 people actively spamming them>Now factor in that 2 ninjas can get their rear attack bonus in on the regular >Now factor in that even with gear scaling your enhancements, scalings, and bonuses are still scaled down to a phase of the game that's balanced around you not having minmaxd gearAnd it's not surprising that heir content is trivialAlso confusion is OP
is the tonfas parry bugged or something? can't land for shit
>>733673098We're also looking at two completed games with DLC compared to one without. Withholding final judgement but nioh 2 is going to be tough to beat, the underworld and depths were just fantastic, scrolls gave you a lot of flexibility in making your builds, and the yokai forms added some good granularity to plugging weakness or final tweaks to your preferred weapons.
>>733673556Buffs aside the way the shiftling uses yokai summons is just funner for stun breaks and combo finishersAlso I'm going to sound like a shitter for saying this but them drawing amrita on hit was also really useful
3 COULD shape up to be even better than 2 with the DLCs but I doubt it. Nioh 1 will always be number 1 in my heart
>>733673341Id put Nioh 2 and 3 about even
>>733673696Totes mah goats, being able to yokai form through grabs or certain attacks let you keep the pressure up against bosses that could also fuck you up in a couple attacks at the high levels. Nioh 2 was at a good balance of this is complete bullshit but let you also stack the bullshit in your favor so it evened out.
>>733667060It's not about being able to afford it but is it worth paying that much.
aahhh~
>>7336737031 is just the cleanest game. After that it feels like they didn't understand what made the first one special and tacked on a bunch of bloat mechanics. They're fun to play with, don't get me wrong, but the games are a mess now and it's clear fans of 1 and 2 want different things out of the experience
I don't remember what the water and wind debuffs do
What are the most "bullshitty" ninjutsus? I'm not impressed by what I've seen so far.
Why the fuck is the title for killing 50 Koroka when there's almost zero in the game?
>>733673975this is fucking dead wrong lol1 is fun but its way too simple. there's nothing in the game outside of stances and onmyo/ninjutsu. you arent working towards any larger mechanic or goal, you just hit them until they die there's no momentum
>>733673998>waterenemy takes more damage (-20%)>windenemy takes more ki damage (idk how much) and does less damage (-20%)
>>7336740701 was more concerned with you mastering the mechanics that are present. 2 hands you 50 menus and different systems then tells you Idk do whatever the fuck you want with that and make it work.
>>733673975You are so biased2 is such a massive leap from 1
>>733674070You know the shitty meme pic about normies or women invading fan spaces or something? Imagine I posted that pic, that's you right now.
>>733674016bakumatsu, kizuna defilement or whatever the name of the mission is called in NG+ has a respawning koroka right past the 2nd shrine
>>7336739752 is a masterpiece in controlsNever in any console game have I actively and frequently used all my buttons with such frequency>2 yokai parries that favor different boss bursts, typically from different bosses>Form change get out of jail free card>Summons>Gadgets>4x4 quick slots>Blocking and dodging fare favorably against different enemy attacks, ie blocking weak attacks but dodging visually powerful ones>Like 10 different ways to keep your ki going in combat that don't involve "running away to regain stamina"Game is pure engagement if you choose to engage it
>>733672991>In a game where your poise is shitwhich fucking game are you playing
>>733674160>1 was about mastering the mechanicsyeah, and once you mastered flux and stances there's nothing else to work towards, you just figure out what moves work on what guys and then you hit them with it and block/dodge until they die>>733674224>the "normies" in question want the games to get more advanced and complex as the series goes oninteresting that you want to be the cattle gamer with one button to press and zero mechanics added after literally 12 years of gamesgo back to e33 or whatever cave you crawled out of
>>733672470None of you are making sure the boss is "open" stop lying to yourselves, it's not that kind of game
>>733674009>Fire calamityIt's like a hand grenade, and if for nothing else contributes to confusion>Lightning calamityBecause quick burst and can pierce if you know how to line enemies upAlso slow from lightning debuff>Glacial calamityIt's an ice shotgun>Fire shurikensGuaranteed to do fucky things to humans, does modest damage
>>733674009ShadowstitchWorks on everything, every time.If the unconditional complete instant freeze lasted any longer, it would be the most busted thing in the game.
When I look at the number of unique soul cores I have in this game, I do not understand people saying there are not enough yokai
>>733674463>t. i play like a spastic retard so everyone must as well
>>733674463See you're working too hardYou could just show the retard in question that sword of meditation has like the most poise in the fucking game so you don't even need to exploit martial arts proficiency
>>733674436>interesting that you want to be the cattle gamer with one button to press and zero mechanics added after literally 12 years of gamesBut that's quite literally what you're advocating for
>>733674582The problem is their inability to use any of the more interesting ones outside of a solo fight at the end of a questline
hiruko is kicking my assholecan't ever seem to be able to parry his slowest biggest swing downbarely flinches from bursttons of shit farting around
>>733674582I think the overall amount is good but they are underutilized in favor of Gakis and Jailer Oni being everywhere. When I first saw an Enki I was pretty happy. Same for an Ippon.But they are a rarity and need to show up in groups instead of as quest mid bosses.I have yet to see the NG+ remix of enemies though.
>>733674176>>733674278>>733674436>literally proving my point2 players like (You) want so many gameplay systems that they can literally ignore several and still be meaningfully powerful. There's nothing wrong with that, but that's the difference between 1 and 2 players. I prefer less systems, but I am expected to master and utilize them all to their fullest extent. A few of you are outright upset you had to actually learn fights and the nuances of combat instead of just spamming your super heckin demon moves, judging by your posts
>>733674717>1 is the cleanest game, no bloated mechanics"no it isnt">you are normies invading the game"you want a simpler game">no you doso you want more mechanics then? you think nioh 2 and 3 are better than 1?
>>733673975You are correct, Nioh1 people probably left, so Nioh2 felt like a mod instead of a game. It is most notable in the music direction, Nioh1 is much better and its sequels are eclectic. It's the same for the mechanics, they take from 1 and then lack direction or knowing the intent. In a way it's easier to make a sequel with the reused assets but in another way it's harder due to constraints and understanding what you are building on. In the end it's the same Nioh1 combat that the game rests upon.
>>733674582because some of them are used like twice in the whole game and because the game is so easy people no longer notice the difference between a normal yoki and a ninja yoki
I had more fun with Nioh 2 than Nioh 1 and that means it's the better game.
>>733673975Nioh 1 is the easiest to break so far, I haven't played Nioh 3 very far yet though and have about 400 hours in Nioh 2.Nioh 1 you can get insane amounts of Unlimited [thing] or basically endless Living Weapon, and it isn't even difficult to get such gear.Nioh 2 just added so much additional mechanics that do not feel tacked on or forced that it's very hard to see any reason to prefer 1 over 2, other than the obvious ones like William, the story, or the fact that one might like it the best because it was the first Nioh you played.
>>733674878Are we sure Nioh 1 people left? Japanese studios are a lot more stable than western ones. They don't just get rid of huge swaths of people in between games like western studios do. There are exceptions. But even Square Enix has a lot of people there still from the old days, due to how Japanese corporate culture is different than the west.
>>733674837There might've been some miscommunication here>you think nioh 2 and 3 are better than 1?Absolutely not. 1 > 2 > 3
>>733674582In their defenseConsidering non-NG+>Like 2 koroka in the whole game, at the middle and end of the game>Sentries in the shortest chapter exclusively >Enenra and kasha are optional, but 1 mandatory each but it doesn't count because muh reused content doesn't count or something retarded>Genuinely arguing that the 5 yoki subtypes don't deserve to be considered distinct enemies just because>1 mandatory itsumadeIdk what else maybe they just want more variety more frequentlySomehow I 100% am sure NG++ will address this>
>>733674463I use Axe with high damage soak while attacking, I don't need to wait, I create the openings I want.
>>733674829>I prefer less systemswhy do you think your prefence is more "correct" than theirs?you said it yourself >>733673975>it's clear fans of 1 and 2 want different things out of the experiencethere really isn't a point to anything you're arguing because of how subjective this is
>>733674494Don't forget Ice (water) making the enemies take more damage. Glacial and Lightning are mainstays in my Ninja setup. Third spot is the one I change up a lot. Poison Breath, Fire Shuriken, and like >>733674575 said, Shadowstitch is also really good and sees use from me.
>>733674924Nioh 1 requires knowledge to do the broken stuff, however. That isn't really a problem. Speed runners break tons of good games. Those games still serve their functions; they aren't meant to be hard for the people who want to look up or plan broken builds. The average person dropped into Nioh 1 will get wrecked for awhile until they get good.
>>733675092>why do you think your prefence is more "correct" than theirs?I don't. If you read the posts, it was the seething replies from 2 players that insist they are """"objectively"""" correct. I simply said 1 and 2 players want different things out of this series, which is true.
>>733674829Well I haven't played Nioh 1 but a guy I know's complaint was>You make a mistake and you game over for itNioh2 punished you with damage but you had wakeups, and could trade escape/insurance for pure aggression using the spirit gaugeAnd that translates to funNioh 2 always manages to give you at least 3 options for a particular predicament, and the flexibility is refreshing compared to classic souls "I dodge and then I hit"
>>733674980so then why are you whining about a lack of complexity in the later games when they are literally nioh 1 with extra stuff added to themi like nioh 2 and 3 because they give me more options to play around with on top of the stuff from 1. 1 gets extremely stale extremely quickly because the ONLY thing there is to do is swing your weapon or shoot onmyo/ninjutsu, and there is no greater strategy involved. you have no additional meters you are building, you have no extra unique mechanics, nothing
>can already make myself virtually invincible while melting bossesCan't wait what the endgame will be like
