Have been fucking around in NG+. Pretty fun but I don't feel like progressing as much as I did in 1 and 2 on NG+ onwards. Will just get better with the combat and make some videos or something. Great game overall, looking forward to that dlc. Especially if it adds mechanics to respawn individual bosses in the open field.

He was mentioned multiple times. Also he did not appear in 2 until the DLC from what I remember. Keep that in mind. We do not have any DLC yet. He very well could be in 3 DLC.

All Yokai's are tied to some Onmyo item, so they probably had no item. It's really boggling how they now have this many enemies, which is a must for soulslike, and yet they just use Gakis and Jailers. Also jailers have nothing special, completely unmemorable.

Wakizashi was shorter and was for close quarters or indoor fighting where a katana would be unwieldy, and katana was for when outdoor fighting led to range giving them an advantage.

Nioh 3 literally does not use enough preexisting assets.
It's the same 5-6 Yokai in every fucking map.
There are a fucking ton of unused enemies and bosses that are just absent.
2 planned dlcs instead of 3.
No wirriam.
No hide.

Guess they spent 6 years making one big open map.

The name “Hanzo” is a hereditary title passed down through generations of ninja leaders from Iga Province (present-day western Mie Prefecture), inherited from his father, Masanari.
Oh okay, so he's a different Hanzo than the one in Nioh 1 and 2.
>>
>>733676687
This. I was skeptical of the new systems and open world but honestly it all comes together for a very fun game even if it's not as good as 2.

No, anon, I just don't remember so good. I didn't remember he was in the main game in 2 as the others pointed out he is.

This is my main issue with it. I don't want to fight shitass wasps, jailers, gaki or skeleton warriors a billion times when we have so many interesting yokai from previous games. Until the final bakumatsu act there were a total of 2 karasu tengus and neither of which you can fight again.

I played the game anon, you cant bullshit me.
theres plenty of new enemies and new variations of ones from previous games. a disingenuous nigger like you probably lumps all versions of jailer as one enemy when in fact they have different attacks and elemental properties.
now is Nioh 3 easier than previous games? yea I guess it is, specially if someone has hundreds of hours of experience from previous games. all though, still had a lot of fun and highly enjoyed playing through this new title.

>>733676810
I agree. I think people do need to accept that the latest game in a series will not always be the best. Changes will be made to try to keep the game fresh which are needed for the series to not be stale. And those changes may not always be refined to the maximum.

The open "field" design as the devs call it was a change that meant some of what they refined in 2 wouldn't be doable in 3. The ninja class addition could lead to balance issues because they didn't have a huge bedrock of testing of how it would play beyond internal testers and external alpha/beta testers. The desire to cover more time periods could've rubbed people the wrong way. The level design for Heian, for example, for me did not hit.

But to keep the series from stagnating, I accept that they need to mix it up so some of these parts that are inferior to Nioh 2 were a part of that process. Hopefully they will refine them for Nioh 4 if they decide to keep going.

Isn't William alive in RotR as a secret boss? Maybe he's immortal now

I love William as much as the next guy but just let him be at this point. Even the Nioh 2 cameo was reaching (in my humble opinion)
>>
>>733677478
Are we sure RotR is canon to Nioh? It could just be a fun reference, not meant to really be canon to either game
>>
>>733676687
>>733676810
I don't think it's plausible for a bad Nioh game to even be made. Its core gameplay and overall identity uniquely satisfies a specific niche of autists. It would take a concentrated effort to break that down which would be called out anyway.
>>
>>733676972

To be fair he still had a beef with Maria who ran away at the end of Nioh DLC, so his appearance in 2 trying to find her is completely justified.

They were both quite young when Ieyasu was still alive > Hanzo is an old man when Ieyasu's grandson is young > make sense

Holy fuck, this game is so damn badly coded that turning off dynamic resolution and dynamic fps stabilized my framerate even though you'd think they would help your framerate.
>>
>>733677571
Yeah Nioh 3 is still recognizable as Nioh despite the fact that it's easier than 1 or 2 and thus it still is enjoyable. They would have to remove or fundamentally simplify the Samurai class to lose the heart of Nioh. And even ninja contains a decent amount of aspects of Nioh 1-2's gameplay style even if ki pulsing isn't necessary and it doesn't have high/mid/low stance.
>>
>>733677595
William Adams died around the "present" time (~1620) of Nioh 3 before all the time faggotry.
Hanzo, your ninja trainer, is the same Hanzo in Nioh 1.
Hanzo with a spear is the earlier Hanzo, he was the Hanzo in most of 2 and the big ninja frog in 1.

>>733677936
Dynamic framerate is always bad as it leads to stutters which are noticeable. Zelda OoT runs at _20_ FPS yet feels like it runs at 30 because it's a rock solid 20 FPS.

Dynamic resolution can be bad because the game is always calculating or miscalculating what res you should be at given performance it's seeing. Technically its always best for you to manually go in, know based on testing what your system can handle and set it

The wackiest thing still has to be the slowmo whenever your fps isn't divisible by 30.
>>
>>733677936
There is something extremely fucky with how the game needs to simultaneously process levels, entities, animations, collisions, shaders and particles. It very often results in dropped and delayed inputs even at stable framerate.
>>
>>733678123
Kusa seemed rather nerfed to me in 3 but I didnt try it too much. The real question is is it fun for you? Because if it is then there's no reason to stop using it. Nor does it matter if other people arent using it. I'd support people using switchstaffs in 3 if they enjoy it.
>>
>>733675476
They could have a DLC with his son or grandson (they even mentioned he has a kid with Okatsu and you rescue him in 2) and a fight where you can get his armor, much like how you can get the Hayabusa gear/izuna drop from the Hayabusa clan members.

But Yasuke is unironically cool and beloved in Nioh as the Obsidian Samurai so this makes no sense. People can smell insincerity from a million yards away and Shadows reeked of it
>>
>>733678659
Here is the difference anon: Nioh is made by Japanese people. They are allowed to make a game like this. It isn't disrespectful to them, because they are the ones making it and have chosen to feature William heavily. Shadows was made by westerners.
>>
>>733678659
Yes, so?

>>733678804
I don't remember him doing much other than being a boss fight desu. Also he dropped a cool armor set and gave you a ghost bear so better than the gay nigger version from AC shadows at least

>>733678659
well, one of these games was made about japan by japanese people who had good intentions and wanted to show the audience something cool. the other game was created solely to push an agenda
not to mention yasuke was in nioh 1 and 2 and nobody minded
>>
>>733678659
Did we even play the same game anon? William beats up a bunch of historical figures yeah, he beats up Yasuke too. But as soon as it gets to the one historical figure Japan gives a shit about. Nobunaga, you're only allowed to get him to 25% HP, before he kicks your ass in a cutscene and dips in the main story.
>>
>>733678659
The Nioh depiction of Yasuke was great. The Obsidian Samurai, protecting his lord Nobunaga even after he knew he was dead
>>
>>733677595
That other anon is an idiot, the “present” of Nioh 3 (when tutorial takes place) is not that long after Nioh 1, William helps your grandpa take power. The Hanzo in tutorial is same Hanzo as Nioh 1. The Hanzo you meet in Warring States era is the Nioh 2 Hanzo, who turned into a Giant Toad (pronounced “Giant Toad”) sometime before Nioh 1.
>>
>>733678881
in 1 he was protecting Nobunaga's grave and William fights him
in 2 at Honnouji he told Hide to chase after Akechi while he holds the line and protect Nobunaga's corpse

>>733675476
I actually started Nioh 1 a few days ago. Currently getting filtered in the one mission where you're running through a bunch of basements with Amrita Demons and the red slimes that shoot paralyzing weapons show up. Having fun though it feels like the weapon balance in this game is a bit dubious. Sword and 2 Sword feel really strong along with Tonfas. Odachi seems ok, the rest either feel too slow and leave you vulnerable for too long without having the damage be worth it. For example the Axe feels weaker than Odachi despite the swings being slower and having less range while also having less skills available, and I have no clue what I'm supposed to be doing with the Spear since all the skills for it seem to take way too long to do, though the regular attacks are fine. Been swapping around to whatever weapon drops are the highest level atm and it seems to get me more samurai points for it but I've noticed the game gets much easier to handle when I'm just using some sword variation

William is one of the most important and influential foreigners in Japanese history and his impact on the country is so significant he could reasonably be attributed as a primary reason for Japan's isolationist but pro-Dutch policy for the entire Edo period. Yasuke is a footnote.

Yasuke isn't even a footnote. He's a "source needed"
The only guy who wrote about him was a known fabricator, and Nobunaga, famous for writing every little thing that came to mind never once wrote a sentence about him.

I think this is where I've landed as well. There are parts of the open world that isn't my favourite, and I think ninja screwing over the pre-nioh 3 enemies and (some) bosses is a little overkill in NG, but it's still a really fun combat system. Better they tried something new than just re-doing what they did before

I would put William and Joosten on the same level of significance. But William is probably liked a bit more for how much he assimilated into Japanese culture. Adams went full weeaboo, had Japanese kids, and refused to go back to England, whereas Joosten wanted to go back to the Netherlands so bad that it led to his death.

His story IRL was way more messed up. Ieyasu forbid him from leaving Japan and forcibly recruited him. He lost his original family in England and had to start a new one. He died 20 years later in Nagasaki.

Yup. Ieyasu made William a samurai to imprison him in Japan. That's the power of feudalism for ya. Pissed the Portuguese right off because they couldn't swindle Ieyasu with William being his western adviser.

what do you mean by that? senji tome is the blacksmith in the first two nioh games.

It's Senji Toyo in Nioh 2 and 3. She's a lot more assertive than Tome personality wise.

Senji Tome was the blacksmith in Nioh 1. Senji Toyo was the one in Nioh 2

yeah he ended up LIKING the country, while he couldn't return to his original family he STILL wrote to them, but then stopped when he actually legitimately fell in love with some japanese girl

skill issue
>>
>>733684323
you mean living weapon spam? that wasn't too bothersome, the bull guardian skill hardcountered their bullshit
the actual issue with humans in 2 and 3 is that you can just parry (not deflect, parry with skills) and suppress them to death without them being able to recover in any way.
I mean yeah they cheat their way out of hitstun halfway through, but you can easily hit them enough for them to be unable to even do that.
>>
>>733684741
>The reality is that Nioh has always been an easy series
That has always only been the case until you get the skills/onmyo spells you need to melt everyone. In Nioh 3 you get all you need from the start, basically.
>>
>>733684741
The difficulty is learning the mechanics and putting everything together. It's not an insormountable obstacle by any means, but it certainly qualifies as a decent difficulty curve.
Mind you, I was never enthused with how the early game in every nioh feels as if you're fighting with your hands and feet tied, TN hides way too many fundamental mechanics behind not just skill points but also story advancement barriers.
>>
>>733684865
Ever since they took out getting winded whenever you performed an action that would deplete your stamina from the very first Alpha, Nioh has not been capable of being hard without leaning on RPG elements like sheer damage from bosses. Really, the only difficult boss in the series was Shigazane

any that appear in a mission can be replayed from Battle Scroll menu (note “mission” includes far more than crucible, and pretty much includes any boss you fight in main story, or major side mission, like the cave with sexy vampire in act 1).

Most (all?) other bosses who don’t have a mission get some kind of repeatable gauntlet where they appear. EG the “demon of pride/envy/obsession” bosses are non repeatable until very late game you get a repeatable gauntlet with all 3.

In NG+ there’s even more, since every minor crucible is infinetly repeatable (requires a resource) and has bosses spread across each one.

Although I’m not sure if Masters are all repeatable. Some appear in gauntlet missions, but not all.

Claws are similar, but with wrists bent down and the other foot leading forward. I would have expected them to reuse Caestus low stance, but they went the extra mile to make claws more unique.

A guy in one of these threads told me it was actually harder than samurai
>>
>>733690678
Here's the nuance folks in this thread will not understand. For 80-90% of players they will do better on Ninja for everything up until the most end of endgame. At this point Samurai can perform better if you do 1 of two things, play with 95% -% DT and just spam hyper armor things. Or you are just simply a really good player to the point those 80-90% of players will never be able to replicate.

With such conditions you will absolutely shit on ninja players But you do have to wait until then and it is flat worse for most of the game.

what's the best way to farm glory? i see coop gives some but its really weird. 1 or 2 for killing enemies and up to 300 for finding shrines with a host, but the vast majority of summons put me in right before the boss of the level so i dont get to find any shrines

are expeditions better?

that's because he's a parry fag

its like asking a magebuild fag to play some spastic light attack melee build

>>733690905
>For 80-90% of players they will do better on Ninja for everything up until the most end of endgame.
Neh, with ninja you need to consistently hit dodge and that's beyond 60-70% players, they will benefit more from being able to block and then you get extension window on deflect and your only issue is elemental dmg which you can mitigate with right talismans, So realistically ninja is better for 20% player that are good good mechanically but suck at positioning so they need the mobility ninja have.
>>733691112
Find a spot near shrine with lots of graves and camp there then donate what you got from them, that castle near daidara bocchi is one of nice spots for that and ninja with tonfa+ explosive charge heavy will one shot most remnants.

I sort of disagree but not really in a super meaningful way. The reason I think you're leaving out for why my statement is true is that those 60-70% aren't going to be able to chain arts gauge, which is where samurai makes up the damage. I cannot tell you how many players I've talked to, including vets since nioh 1 that had no idea you can use frostmoon to extend arts gauge.

Thought the same thing at first until I stared using ninja for bosses. Bosses just can't keep up with ninja speed blitz and get their ki bar broken before they can do any real damage. Tonfas for human and 1kat for yokai bosses has been my my go to for ninja when I just want to delete a boss

Interesting. Maybe that's why ninja feels so good to me. I have the Nioh fundamentals down, but my positioning sucked and overextending was always my bane.

>>733691112
Expeditions build up a glory multiplier if you choose to keep playing with someone, but most people leave or disband after 1 mission/scroll. The easiest way I found to farm glory was to find a shrine with a bunch of graves nearby and to just burn them down with Thundering Calamity, along with a weapon like Tonfa, Axe, or Odachi that can easily butcher a revenant. Donate whatever gear you get after you're done.

Dam they fixed the bug where you could reset what your base soul match cost was. For those that don't know the further you get away from the items base level and + value the more soul matching cost. But until today you could drop an item, pick it back up and that would be it's new "Base" value
>>
Pufferpuss technique needs to be patched to have better tracking and have two of them pop up like the talisman summon. It's a fun technique but its damage is ass and it doesn't destroy a ki bar like the scampuss summon so really only using it because I think the scampuss are cute.

Final mission was pretty kino in everything but plot/writing. Even if it's a near exact parallel, Hiruko was not fleshed out enough like Kunimatsu was. It's very difficult to in your mind just copy in all one character's development for another and have it feel natural. Even if the player can, it isn't really a good method of storytelling.

>>733696934
Not him and I agree 2 is better, but many good games are "completely broken", that doesn't mean they can't be more fun than a completely balanced, polished game. Some of the best Japanese games are held together by duct tape, and others if you have the right knowledge can be broken and beaten in 30 mins or less.

Man DLC I want DLC 1 now, I hate the selection of Ninja spirits we have.

Tengu can't spirit burst to save her life but far and away the best stats, kongojishi has alright spirit skills but you're almost assuredly going to trade a red burst, bonuses are a little worse than tengu. Nekomata has far and away the best spirit skill with it being essentially a fighting game burst, but it's stats are completely irrelevant.

Other spirits are irrelevant on both fronts.

William appears.

He fan style shift between like 10 different builds depending on how player fights him. All of which are are recreations of busted Nioh 1 setups.
> if you use magic or any range, he switches to the 100% immunity to projectiles and elemental damage tank setup
> if you run out of ki he one-shots you with an Iai quick draw
> if you run away from him or dodge too many times he whips out the sloth talismans
> he inflicts confusion near instantly
> at beginning of fight he has a 25% chance of spending 30 seconds buffing himself, or a 25% chance of instantly pulling out a rifle and head shotting you, then killing you with final blow. And a 50% chance of bowing, if he bows and you don’t then he gets pisded off and activates infinite living weapon mode, popping Amrita crystals to keep it going forever.

If you beat him you get Saoirse as a spirit.

considering they put bandit bro and his sword in the game, rest his soul, I really like his simian scream vailed art where he learns to atleast stab the fuck before going berserk on the apebunga

Please tell me we're going back to antiquity with the DLCs

none nigga that game was straight ass

>>733706092
What was that dual sword spinny move you got at the end that ended in a grab if they were out of ki? That one.
>>
>>733706803
At this point might as well port all martial arts over

I liked all the ones with the cool grapple animations, which usually came from the katana styles. Some of them use the grapple hook, though, so I doubt any of the cool grapple hook ones would get in. Okita is in both games and you can get some of the moves he uses in Ronin, but technically in there his weapon type as a teammate is listed as some weird hybrid between odachi and katana, long katana or something.
Fist moves from both the guy who invented Judo and the super monk would be nice.
The thing I want the most is the revolver and also to move ninja tools like shuriken/kunai over to the ranged weapon slot. If the revolver is added, it would be cool to have Ryoma's special move where he fires revolver shots off the edge of his blade to light things on fire and as well as air combo you with it.

Is Wo Long worth playing? Done everything I care about doing in Nioh 3 until the DLC comes out and I want something to fill the void.

I want the retarded female charge scream brought back somehow nothing else is important

>>733707420
It's fun now
But despite it being the best integration of melee and magic in a videogame, it's still a parry game

as long as you accept it's a completely different game than Nioh, it's ok
>>
>>733707420
No. Play Wuchang instead, or Nioh 2.

It's legit fascinating to me how hard some people can struggle with Nioh. I'm reminded of the mentally deficient fella on reddit who was whining about being stuck on Yamagata for 6 straight hours when the demo dropped.
>>
>>733708242
Brother, you and I, we're like 9000 hours deep
People new to this game are going to eat shit to dwellers exactly like you and I ate shit to our very first Yoki/Onryoki
A stray memory now, but there were people on here getting hard filtered by Enki's when Nioh 2 launched

As "easy" as the games can be, until you learn how you're supposed to even play them that shit can be daunting.

>try out the control option that separates style change for burst attacks
>style switch cancel windows are slightly delayed
>swap back
I don't know how you guys do it. I switch stances way too much for that shit.

>>733708476
i remember struggling with gozuki hard first time i played Nioh 2, i didn't leave until he was dead though

i feel like the people who struggle the most are those who try to force a certain way of playing instead of learning how the game is meant to be played

>>733702838
No, some of the assets are carried over with Bakumatsu being basically a destroyed rendition of Kyoto. The characters looked significantly better in RotR however. Just compare Ine.
>>
>>733706803
All of them. TN made all these cool new weapons, attacks and stances only to be discarded like actual garbage.

use fire talisman and re-up it whenever he goes into yokai realm or whenever he has a long opening after one of his combo string/attacks

Think that was 0.00% before. So it might actually be usable now
