I'm not a furry, but...
>>733787084nigga that ain't a furrythat's a neko
Let's be real, if Kunimatsu was your bratty little sister instead of generic crazy laugh japanese twink, the story would have improved tenfold
oh look its the content i already paid for in nioh 2
wo long won.
>>733787326Yeah before they bloated it with all the shitter-pandering updates.
>>733787326it's crazy I waited so long for TN to return to form with Nioh 3 and make the sequel that finally builds off 2 for real, only for it to end up being worse than Wo Long.
>>733787326Wo Long mogs Nioh 3 so hard it ain't even funny>Only ~10k less peak players despite being free on Gamepass day 1 (would have had much more peak players if it wasn't)>Probably much smaller development budget - Nioh 3 credits are 12 minutes long, Wo Long's are 5 minutes, which is shorter than Expedition 33>Chad mission-based structure vs soicuck virgin open world slopWo Long did much more with much less budget and Nioh 3 flopped hard. They should have made Wo Long 2 instead.
Every time I see Nioh 3 posted it's actually a boss or enemy from the other games
>>733787230>if Kunimatsu was your bratty little sister
>>733787463Nioh 3 has been EldenRingified though. That's why the open(world)fields are boring and NG+ feels like a huge chore.
>>733787326>>733787406>>733787517try to be slightly less obvious with your raid
>>733787084Ng4 dlc trailer drop and it felt so underwhelming Also a missed opportunity to bank on nioh popularity with a collab of some sort
>>733787571NG+ wasn't a chore at all. I blasted through all the bosses and had a great time.
>all those Wo Long vs Nioh 3 postsDid the discord find a new shitposting angle? Haven't seen that one yet.
>>733787230>cunnymatsu
>>733787571Real nioh begins after ng++ when all dlcs drop with underground/depth
>>733787678They also made sure to mix in the usual Elden Ring seethe. At this point if your game has a dedicated shitposting discord, it's a good sign you're playing a real game and not the usual western wokesIop
>>733787316damn, kinda like how you fight most of the nioh 1 yokai in nioh 2 as padded content as well?
absolute
>>733787084Not even furry you faggot
>>733787641Most people in these threads dropped this game after trying NG+. Especially Nioh2 peeps.>>733787756I agree, but if it's still going to reuse this boring openworld as it is, I don't think it'll be as popular as the previous games were.
cinema
>>733787835>after trying NG+lmao
>>733787816>>733787896WUXIANATMOSPHEREKINO
The Wo Longslopper need to make their own thread, but they won't of course because nobody would post in it kek
Are any good ranged builds possible like they were in nioh 2? It seems much harder to pull off without any good set supports.
>>733787678>Shit on the newest title by "praising" one of the older titlesIt's the oldest trick in the book really, you can see it in a more blatant manner with shitposters somehow praising RE6 to get (You)s in RE9 threads, it's doesn't matter whether a legitimate argument is presented or not so long as threads devolve into shitposting.
I'm too good at stealth bros. It should be in less open world/open zone games. I want more gameplay and less "oops half of the enemies in camp are dead and now there's only 2 left and both of them are weaklings"
>>733787835"After trying." lol I hope they got filtered long before NG+.Most people playing this game are probably streamer-watching vaxxies so I hope they drop it ASAP to leave the true kino for the pure TN autists.And wo long was fun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CaJB_c6UnkNo, I will not learn how to play ninja style
>>733787962>>733788149How do you want people to know if they like something it they don't try it first, huh? What else is there to do in this game after finishing it, getting all achievements, farming yasukuni before entering NG+ and realising: oh this shit is boring. Why? The openworld is terrible to replay.
Now I understand why most Niohfags skip this one. Hopefully 2 will be better
>>733788279Kino absolutely gorgeous too, what set is that?
>>733787819sauce
Anyone else's game crashing a lot more after the recent patch?
>>733788971Mine only has a fatal error crash every time I completely close the game. It's very strange.
>>733788971No crashes, but I have noticed some weird instances where it feels like buttons are not responding. My controller seems to work fine with other games, but there is a delay with nioh 3.
>>733787084So who's the strongest protag?Hiddy beat william and take is just william tier with ninja movesWould he be the weakest?Is hiddy the strongest lil demon man to ever live?
>>733788294I didn't really touch the open would in NG+ because:>1: all shrines except those in mission areas are unlocked and>2: I collected and explored everything in NG.>How do you want people to know if they like something it they don't try it first, huh?It's the fact that they don't like it that makes me not like them. Yes really. I know way too many obnoxious normalfags that started gaming in their 20s when they discovered Dota2 after decades of not being able to comprehend anything other than FIFA. There are an overwhelming number of people like this in every hobby. Go to a metal festival and see how many millennial retards you meet that started listening to metal in their 30s and try to shoehorn in their neoliberal politics (pic related).
>>733789157Definitely Hiddy. Doesn't need pokeballs to summon other demons to help.
>>733787406>>733787326>every weapon plays the same because nothing you do except parrying matter>combat depth of a puddle compared to nioh>dogshit fortitude systemNo matter how much you spam it it will never come true
>>733787084What the hell I never noticed the veins
>returns>becomes the most broken yokai coreDamn imagine if she was in 2That's like having a Baku as a guardian core.
Once again this game does not get enough credit for how well made its open fields and the level design within them are. I'm now half way through the 2nd map its been amazing. Also the new captcha is cancer
>>733788971I'm still playing the demo until they fix things, but I can't even do that anymore. It won't start up from steam and I tried everything. To be fair I'm using Windows 10 because they refuse to "update" to 11, so maybe that's the problem.
>>733790671I like the level design.I just wish it ran better
>>733787084Why does her hand or paw or whatever look like that? Is it an Unreal Engine game?
>>733790731No, that is not the problem.Im on windows 10 running 1080p 60 fps no problem.
>>733790671the first map sucked ass though
>>733791223Good
>>733791223>you only get this if you use VPN>but then you can't post with VPN anyway because of the VPN adblocker detectionwhat did the gookjew mean by this
>>733790973That's a fur mesh rendering trick that's been around for decades. It makes one or more partially transparent duplicates over that part of the model to give it a fuzzy look.
>>733791223I wish. However theres zero chance they create an actual filter. The whole design of Nioh 3 seems to be "accesible nioh"
>>733788540>skipping dlc and higher difficulties. You didnt play the game
>>733790596>only two Yang slots>can't have a Yokaifu trio of Hino-Enma, Joro-Gumo and MermaidI wish for a third Yang slot for DLC.
Do I need the spirit vein to get here?
>>733788540Learn the difference between nioh fans and tourists. All 3 games plus wo long and ronin are great
>>733788713Minamoto's set. General of Ruin is the best set bonus in the game imo
>>733787326I tried Wo Long and it had too much parryslop, I hate parryslop
>>733792127Yep.
>>733787326Chad long mogs nioh slop
>>733789157Hide is retardedly strong. Half demon which means yokai shift, and infinite yokai summoning with Anima which no other protag has. Hide's demon/spirit side means they can come back from the dead, and having Sohayamaru also makes them immortal again on top of that. Hide can also have insane NG+++ effects like Ultimate Magic that no other character can get (for now).
>>733790995I verified the files, deleted and reinstalled, admin mode, etc, nothing. It literally initiates in steam and then steam closes it. It was working fine before the update, so I just don't know what's going on.
Swapping clans after becoming deputy leader or does the bonus go higher if you rank up?
>>733792987Donate to get it up then switch.
>>733792987last bonus is at 30k
Alright bros what clans do I use now that Todo was fixed and Shinsengumi got nerfed?
>>733789157Hideyoshi is absurdly powerful with potentially no upper limit since he can absorb other Yokai to copy their power and make it his own, and his Yokai blood makes him functionally immortal. Hide has the greatest flexibility when it comes to time travel thanks to an inherit attachment to the Interim. The simple passage of time would have him become vastly more powerful than anyone else.Takechiyo's power mostly comes from Kusanagi and other guardian spirits, and while they do grant incredible power, the power is borrowed by Chiyo. He gets time travel, but it is bound to the Mirror and the Rift that function primarily to pursue Hiruko across time. Of the three, Chiyo's still mortal, so he's going to pass on some time in the 1600s and that's that.William has the lowest upper limit in terms of raw strength and ability, but he is literally immortal thanks to Saoirse. Where the other two canonically time travel to escape death, William just can't die. Also really high charisma.Hide post-DLC >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hide in the main story >= William > Takechiyo
Nioh 3 soundtrack is the weakest of the trilogy but this track is as good as all the best from Nioh 1/2 in my opinionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4S7Fvo_e5M
I liked the part where Takechiyo walked up and said "Takechiyo"
>>733795013I have always been /sanada/ for maximum samurai combos and style
>>733795271>Of the three, Chiyo's still mortal,Is he?Kusanagi is the spirit of rebirth itself. It is bound to Take exclusively among the entire timeline according to Himiko. He may have the most powerful source of immortality out of 3.
>>733795376Shingen 1st phase is amazing and as much as I love these games I genuinely can't remember any tracks from 1 and 2.
the only good ost in 3 is takasugi's
>>733789157It's not really a fair comparison since Hiddy isn't even human
>90% of the world exploration becomes obsolete in NG+That's pretty fucking retarded
>>733795376>>733796479https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwWvPjErPPE
>>733795376I think it's the best in the series honestly, at the very least I 'noticed' the music way more in this game compared to 1 and 2Definitely has the best use of the main Nioh theme when it kicks in during the final boss
Bakamatsu so far is the most intensive area in terms of performance.Has anyone tried any of those Nioh 3 fix mods? To mess with things like LOD to hopefully get better performance? I'm talking about a locked 60 instead of dips to 50 as I run around the map.
>>733797124Did you try turning off the anti-soul gas?
now that I think about it, our protagonist are not NEARLY as horny enoughWilliam only having ONE childHide practically being a monk because the yokai nature makes hide fear having childrenTakechiyo not being nearly as sickly as he was irl and participating in martial practices seriously despite not being better then kunimitsu
>>733797361I had it on low because it looked alright in some areas, but if turning it off is the easy answer then I'll just do that.
>>7337971121 > 3 > 2In terms of OST
>>733797594Hide and Mumyo casually fucked after their sweaty training together and that's my headcanon.
game runs like niggershit at 55 fps and uses 30% of my cpu+gpu. typical incompetent nip engineering.
https://x.com/OLTO1229/status/2026581010507559328how the fuck does he do it
>>733795376>Nioh 3 soundtrack is the weakest of the trilogyIs it now?Warring States Saigagake, Traveler of Light, all Crucible related themes, Shinsaku, the theme that sounds during the warehouse mission (can't find it), Death Veil + Final Battle are some of the best tracks in the entire trilogy.I'd say the only thing it lacks right now is a tragic theme akin to Azai Nagamasa, although you can argue it's Shinsaku's theme because of how deeply fucked Bakumatsu is.The ost is easily on par with 2.
Wouldn't recommend giving way to that kind of thing in your mind. That's a landing strip for abomination to land, just saying. It isn't necesarilly going to be that way but iniquity only finds place in people because they concede ground or aren't careful. On a more topical note, I haven't spent much time in these souls sorts of games. I'm wondering, is Nioh a fine place to start? I hear it's relatively quite different from Dark Souls which I have a little bit of experience with. I've seen it also compared to Ninja Gaiden a number of times. Ninja Gaiden Black is one of my favorite games of all time.
>>733788279Just like the other games, the worst thing you can do is give the bosses too much space where they will do their big bullshit attacks.
>>733797594Nioh 4 taking place during the arrival of the Black Ships, starring a Sailor (you) under Commodore Perry and H. A. Adams.The protag gets stronger by banging as many local women as possible.>>733798173Ho-Oh Downburst, and Fire Foot Drill [Kick] on Hatchets.
>>733789157>So who's the strongest protag?Mechanically? Takechiyo, not even close. In Ninja mode he's more agile that Feral Hiddy. He is a better onmyo mage than both, he's a far better ninja and AP/Frost Moon plus onmyo infused altered arts make him a far stronger samurai too.Story-wise? Hard to tell. All 3 of them are immortal in their own way, but i'd say Takechiyo's source of immortality is by far the most bullshit one because he wields Kusanagi, the spirit of rebirth. Takechiyo's gimmick is his insane connection to guardian spirits in general which turns him into a "holy" version of Hiddy in a way. I'd say thus far Take and Hiddy are equal and William is below them but he's still a gigachad.
im having a lot of fun but i can't imagine myself exploring all the areas again in ng+
>>733796512>>733798760The duality of mankind
>>733797847Wo Long mogs the entire Nioh series in the OST department unironically.
>>733798760I wouldn't bother either once you know what comes after the highest difficulty. When all the DLC comes out, I would just speed through everything to the Abyss/Underworld.
>>733798760You don't have to, you keep all your shrines and progression. You can do minor crucibles and spikes again because those still give upgrades but there's no reason to do anything in between story missions if you don't want to.
>>733798760You dont really. I just beelined every crucible to fight the final boss in NG+
>>733798760You guys keep saying this but elden ring is still the most replayable souls game
holy niggershit optimization what the fuck, did they switch to shartreal engine 5?
>>733798760Meh i'm just wandering around the map and fighting everything along my way. I feel the NG+ flows better than in the previous entries.
Does Takechiyo have a canon appearance like Hiddy? I can't see him as anything other than my character
>>733799087>Does Takechiyo have a canon appearancethe real takechiyo was a fat gay chud
>Try to coop>Have to sit through the entire fucking cutscene after a boss dies>Sometimes the loading times take forever because you spawn in at the same time as some poorfag on an HDD>Niggers with broken builds melting the bosses before you even get to fight themMiserable experience
>>733799039i tried to replay eldy three times and i just couldn'tit's just exhaustingso i just did the dlc with my first toon
does nioh 3 have obsidian samurai?
>>733799039Listen buddy, I love Elden Ring, but after the initial burst of playthroughs I did trying out all the different builds, I can only replay it between big breaks now because I don't want to run around to pick up all the seeds and it's just so long. Meanwhile I can run all three Souls games in less than the time it takes to beat ER. There's just no contest for replayability. That being said, I just noticed I don't typically replay any of the Nioh games from the beginning besides the first one. 2 I only ever used one character but just played them for a really long time and it seems to be shaping up that way for 3 as well.
>>733799294lol lmaoits funny how he isnt even in anymore despite the devs wearing goycattle pin in prthat dumb fuck who jacked off himself really fucked up that they cant bring the nigger back at all
Honestly what's the point of these forced flame wars, like why do they do it, is it just for fun or are they actually paid to shit the board up with constant bait or do they have some kind of vendetta for the website or something
>>733799597Disingenuous shitposting. They don't care about any of the games, the point is to seed chaos.
>>733787084>Wanting to have sex with furry women =/= being a furry yourself
>>733799087Yes
>>733787326Maybe if all the weapons didn't feel the same
>>733799039Elden Ring is the only game in that series that loses its replay value before you even finish it the first time. When you realise that every dungeon looks the same and has mostly the same enemies, you lose any reason to explore them. It's not like any dungeon has a worthwhile weapon or item as a reward apart from the smithing stone caves.
>>733799698Why? That's fucking gay, I don't understand normalniggers.
>>733799597All resources are already accounted for (money, real estate, ect), the only thing left to fight over is your attention, and because you only have so much of it, it is the dirtiest most desperate battlefield of all. Unfortunately, places like this where people gather to discuss things are the perfect wells to poison to compete for your limited time for their product or idealogy.
>>733799898The point is to make people angry and either steer conversation in a certain direction or to derail it altogether. Same thing as forum sliding or glowy posting. Think back to the tortanic shit and major releases since, they just want to demoralize people and make everyone argue because that is how they get their jollies.
>>733799597>Honestly what's the point of these forced flame warsThey're desperate for attention because they have none in real life.
>>733799925>>733800163>>733800282I miss the old internet. There were trolls and flame wars but it was a lot less gay and the people on it had more in common with each other. I hate these new people so much, idk where they came from but god I wish they would go back.
Shame about Bolting Boar in Nioh 3. I wonder why the nerf.
>>733800368Odachi feels like the only samurai weapon that actually lost some of its identity between the titles. They need to reconsider the nerf.
>>733788849Look up rikose on exhentai
>>733800368>that poor little oni-bi thrown in thereThey may be annoying little shits but you leave him alone!
>>733798760You don't explore again. The open field would be awful to actually have to explore again. I'm convinced that NG+ is supposed to receive several additional battle scrolls that remix areas altogether.
>>733788301
>>733800798you're cute
>>733800852<3
>>733800352Unfortunately it isn't ever coming back. Once the internet entered the mainstream consciousness there became incentive to control the flow of information. It's only going to get worse from where with bots entering the mix
>>733800779They will progressively introduce more changes with each NG+ more likely. They will probably make hard mode crucible spikes the default difficulty too, and those are super fun.
with how much side stuff I've been doing I thought I'd be way overleveled for the main quest but nope, the main quest requirement now is level 100 and I'm level 107, and I did pretty much everything there is to do in the game so far except for battle scolls
>>733801015
>>733801139The levels don't mean shit in Nioh
>>733800798code please <3
>>733801145Nice.
>>733800352>idk where they came from but god I wish they would go back.bots and third world getting phones with internet access. we unironically need a segregated internet
>>733801268N3P-mu[y6x9+7HxRS
>>733801619thanks
Huh? My game just softlocked at the shrine, I closed the shrine menu but my character is still in the praying position and I can move or do anything, I can only move the camera, has this happened to anyone else?
Almost all the armor in this game is really fucking ugly if you want something feminine for a female samurai. It's the training robes and that's it.The ninja armor isn't much better.
>>733801708They just updated it so samurai can transmog ninja sets and vice versa, so you can mix and match any set in the game for transmogs now.
>>733798978You wanna collect the wraiths and smaller crucibles as well.
>>733801708>>733802062The fashion is sorely downgraded from RotR
>>733802095crucibles sure but blue cores? kinda fucking useless the extra bonus is miniscule
>>733802207Two extra effect slots is more important than you think
>>733802207It's literally extra anima capacity from 2, aka one of the most meaningful bonuses you can get in a late game.
>>733802062>They just updated it so samurai can transmog ninja sets and vice versaWait really? That's nice
>>733789157how would a "canon" hide fight go
>>733789157Takechiyo wins every fight he had except the very first Kunimatsu where he was still weakWilliam can't defeat Nobunaga and Hiddy vs Raikou was a drawTakechiyo wins
>>733802390>It's literally extra anima capacity from 2, aka one of the most meaningful bonuses you can get in a late game.what the fuck are you babbling abouti see a blue soul coreit has the same fucking stats as a yellow oneit has the same summon amount as a yellow onethe only difference is that there is now a 3rd bonus like "0.8% more ki damage dealt" on it, ie worthless garbageoh i see what happened, you're illiterate and couldn't understand what i typedi said "crucibles sure"yes you should do the crucibles and spikes again, THOSE are worthwhileblue cores aren't really worth it though
>>733799294no which is a shame because i like his armor
>>733802584You know you can change the stats on blue cores right?
>>733802457Random Ippon Datara shift during attack strings
>>733802776correctand they're all fucking worthless garbage with 0 actual impact>1% more elemental damage>thunder lifeleech c (1 hp per hit, woaw)>0.5% more gold
>>733802457Yoshitatsu with tonfa and Sohayamaru, Sohaya and Baku for guardian spirit summons. Otakemaru, Ippon-Datara, Kasha soul core attacks.
Really wish they'd just ported over every armor set. Weird how Ieyasu's armor isn't in the game, it's basically the starter set, but where's the helmet
nobody talks about wolong because it's a pixellated mess and doesn't render properly so you can barely tell what's going on
How are magic builds in nioh 3? I've never tried a proper onmyo or ninjutsu build in any of the nioh games, but messing around with the elemental attacks has me curious. I haven't finished my first playthrough yet so a lot of stuff is still unavailable to me.
>>733802457Yatsu no Kami soul core in your face. Tonfa demon dance to never let you regain a single point of ki.
>>733803026nobody talks about wolong cause the gameplay is ass
>Beyond Infinity on ninja style>eats the whole Ki bar>Beyond Infinity on samurai style>only eats a third
just beat 1st boss (samurai guy) and it took like 30min until i remembered these games are just like elden dogshitring ie. you just go next to the boss to trigger its 10 hit combo and then wait on the maximum range and just tip toe the edge until he's done attacking and then you get your few hits in and rinse and repeatunironically no other playstyle exists or is worth anything, literally trigger the boss nonstop sperg combo, then wait until its over and attack
whats the worst weapon
>>733788540>Now I understand why most Niohfags skip this one. Hopefully 2 will be betterNioh 1 is the best because there are no gaki enemies.
>>733803030you basically buff unarmed damage (since magic damage is tied to weapon damage and unarmed is the strongest weapon) and then you spam hell spells and can basically nuke any boss to death in 1 or 2 hits
>>733803013Ieyasu's armor in 3, the Righteous set, is just a recolor of this minus the helmet. It really is weird that it wasn't brought back.
kyievcebcedas rite chud
why is my game so dark
>>733789157Hiddy defeats Nightmare Bringer that was powerful enough to warp nature and relativity itself around it through sheer malevolence. Chiyo defeats Hiruko after he's empowered by over a millennia of gestalt crucinite by Kunimatsu breaking the possession. William defeats Yamato No Orochi and Nine Tails with Sanada's assistance. They're all accomplished of legendary feats but Hiddy is slaying cosmic eldritch deities compared to ancient and powerful monsters.
>>733787678Yeah, and as you can tell, it's not working either. lmao
>>733803592That's abnormal. Nioh 3 has issues with darkness and lighting balance but not like that.
>>733803030I always do a partial onmyo build in these games mainly for the status debuffs and ranged attacks to chip down enemy hp/ki. Two, three shots are enough to proc the debuffs so it's honestly convenient.
>>733803847yeah i realized its because the game has only dynamic global illumination and no fallback so when you turn that off the lightbulb in the sky turns off the game is a technical disaster
>>733803225splitstaff and its not even close
I need a new difficulty right now... Everything is too easy
>>733804089Splitstaff has always felt weak without mystic dyad, hoping we get scrolls or orange weapons in the first DLC.
this gmae actually runs worse than bordershit 4 and looks even worse than bordershit 4
Am I stupid or is the fact that samurai and ninja styles don't have separate stats and soul cores really detrimental for hybrid builds? I wanna use both simultaneously but my stat allocation and soul cores really favor one over the other. Am I doing it wrong?
>>733802457>Boss Hideyoshi Phase 1Normal Hide in Samurai style, using 2Kat, specifically Ogo & Nagamei Masamune.Uses a variety of lower level difficulty Yokai transformations like Gaki and Ippon-Datara>Phase 2 at 50% healthActivates Yokai Form, starting the phase with Brute.Certain attacks automatically cause Hide to shift between Brute & Feral & Phantom.>Phase 3, Health restored, new arenaNormal Hide again, changes to Ninja with Gun Tonfa and N1Kat (Sohayamaru)Uses boss level Yokai transformations like Onryoki and Mezuki.Tokichiro's monkey guardian has a chance to appear when Hide is below 40% Life.
>>733787084It flopped
>>733803449why is ieyasu wearing a newsie hat in this game anyway
>>733804520Weapons that have + values can have their scaling stats changed, so once you hit NG+ it gets easier to get your build online (for a price).
>>733804359Splitstaff and Kusarigama both suffered for that where the weapon was incomplete and shit without mystic dyadExcept Kusarigama is fun to use and splitstaff is still the stamina guzzling piece of shit that requires a specific build to even use
>>733799294No(t yet) Maybe DLC, because I want that set
>>733804693Anon you have to give it up. Nioh 3 saved Team Ninja and we will have to look forward to Nioh 4 and 5.
im not having fun brehsgame just runs like dog shit, no matter if i run on low or max its 40-50 fps
>>733787326why did you speed up the footage to make it look cuhraazieer?
>>733801015i like this>>733801145but this is registering as dogshit in my mind and i can't explain why
>>733803013>>733803449>>733804854I wish Ieyasu looked like the actor from the first game. This becomes a problem when you hire actors for their facial features as well as their voice.
>>733805250He did not. That boss is a beyblade of rape. Missed a single swing? Enjoy losing 80% HP.
>>733805372I don't like AI as much as the next guy but I'm not going to say no to giant flopping yokai titties, you might be gay
>>733804927I loved splitstaff in 2, spent most of the time in low stance with shin breaker (extra ki damage), changing ways (think I had lightning on it), and I think side splitter (with fire) to break ki and apply elements. High stance held heavy had that meaty downward thunk with long range to break horns and heads outside of most enemy attack ranges, the basic mid combos hit decently, but its a weapon that you definitely had to build for health on amrita absorb since you will always trade damage while letting your attacks go.
How long is the final area? I just went back to the present and beat up my brother and thought the final boss was happening but nope. It looks HUGE Also is axe just hilariously OP or is it just me? I basically stopped using other weapons because its just disgusting
>>733803221You can definitely play Nioh games like that, if you are EXTREMELY bad at games. If you are any good you would realise how capable your character is compared to elden dogshitring and how many moves and tools are in your arsenal.
>>733805475ohhhhh, that explains it, it's pajeet ai slop. makes sense
>>733804604>Final secret phase>Spawns 3 scampuss that push your shit in and fuck your ki bar beyond recognition
Got Demon of Obsession down.Easiest of the 3 I'd say since by that point of the game you've got plenty of tools to spank him.
>>733805682Bakumatsu is almost as big as Sengoku and has several extensive side dungeons.
>>733802142Trve.They did add more casualware to 3, among a couple of other sets that're quite nice despite how busy they are.Not enough new sets in general though, plus it's missing more old sets now than 2 was. If you don't want to look like generic samurai armor man, there goes like over half outfits in the game for you. Again.RotR not only had loads of stylish shit, but it had a layering system too.You had a lot of options for big flowy haoris and hakamas, but there was western stuff like suits complete with slacks, dress shoes, dress shirts, etc. as well.You could dress in a nice variety of straight kimonos, one sleeved kimonos, short or long haoris, wear sick capes and scarves over them, or just wear a suit or an officer uniform. Or you could blend the two styles together and create a east and west fusion fit.
>>733805682It's big, feels bigger than the first area because you have every traversal spirit vein unlocked so you can pretty much explore every thing immediately
uninstalled the gamewas getting 40-50 fps regardless of settings and then i get to the 1st little village and it's stuttering nonstop on 12700klet's give it 1 year of patches
>>733804604>>733805872>also has 8 elixirs
>>733795376>Nioh 3 soundtrack is the weakest of the trilogyIt has most of the good songs from Nioh 1, it has most of the songs from Nioh 2, and the new songs are almost entirely all great. For the new songs in general, the dynamic transitions are notably better, likely owing entirely to Akihiro Manabe being more familiar with the format. As much as I like the boss themes of Nioh 2, Mezuki's theme at low health, Yatsu no Kami's theme at low health, and Kasha's theme at low health all looped very short segments. It is VERY noticeable. The horns blaring in Mezuki's theme is alright in game but standalone on the ost it's the least exciting part of the track.More then any of this though, I'm pretty glad that all 3 OST's have a very distinct unique identity. Something like the layered percussion in Baba Nobuharu's theme (which you won't even hear if your headphones are shit) the use of vocals and just generally seldom used instruments these days. The various "Demon of ____"by a regular composer in this industry are just great. That said, because of it's open world nature, especially in the second map and beyond, my mind kept drifting towards Toukiden 2; I don't think you're going to get a better "everything is fucked in fantasy japan" than that in a videogame.
>>733806071
>>733806071RoTR definitely lean more into visualsIt kinda sucks how Nioh 3 Bakumatsu Kyoto look like just a flying island full of jagged rocks and shitRoTR Bakumatsu Kyoto looks great
>>733797124Are you guys running this game at 1440p or 4k or 120fps? That's the thing about people saying the performance is bad, I can never really tell if they are trying to run it beyond capabilities of mankind's hardware
>>733805448why was he such an asshole kike in the first game but he is bro tier in 3?
>>733806627no the game is literally unplayable unless you have poor standards or you have 5k dollar pc
>>733806841>William sees a myriad of curses over his head>nearly bites his tongue off over losing one of his alliesHe was just an older, troubled man
>>733806915>5kMine was 2k and I'm running it fine idk
>>733806841In a cutscene, he tells William that his ambition is to end war, and will sacrifice everything dear to him to achieve it.
>>733807072poor standards then. people with 5k rigs aren't getting stable 60 fps which is like the bare minimum for action games.
>>733806627The game isn't optomized well but if you hadn't noticed from the posts since launch, there are more than a few pors using 6 year old hardware"Wow why can't this shit run 1440 120fps on my 30XX and 10th gen intel CPU
>>733806125Did you enable fsr? Game is literally unplayable without it, and even then it still has terrible frame pacing
>>733807290yes every permutation of low settings (and standard) and its just cpu limited, it was only loading every other core of my cpu so probably just not using HT properly, anyway its uninstalled
>>733807208>he fell for the goyvidia marketing (again)ampere is only 20-30% slower than the current gen equivalents
>>733807624He says, running hardware too shit to brute force modern videogame "optimization"
>>733801708im cute and feminine
>>733806841>didn't pay attention
>mfw there's four mapsI'm 40h in, in the middle of the Heian era and you're telling me I'm less than HALFWAY done?
>>733807839The next map is basically a giant Strangers of Paradise dungeon but the third era is nearly twice as big as Heian.
jjk crossover when
>>733807839YeahI don't know how people were saying the game is short took me like 65 hours to beat and I took my timeIt's pretty beefy even with only 3 maps
>>733807793>too shit to brute force modern videogame "optimization"because you have too low standards and think game running shit is good enough.post specs then post your frametime graph
>>733807941Given that both Hiddy and Take fodderize Ryomen, it won't be a good crossover for JJK
>wearing pants>and using a western saberbased or cringe
>>733808003>wah wahStandards have nothing to do with anythingYou've had 8 years to learn this isn't getting better
>>733806390Nioh 3's Bakumatsu is actually RotR's Kyoto but destroyed. The structure, buildings and landmarks align.
>>733808156>>and using a western saberbased
>>733788279tool assisted
>>733808181dont take it too harsh. most people can't notice a frametime fluctuation of +-100ms, and use "2K" to describe wqhd/1440p and don't even know how to check their frametime graphs because it's not something they even feel because they can't perceive high ms fluctuation, you included.
>>733807837>didn't pay attentionyes that's why i asked
>>733808156the last shogun is the definition of cringe>>733808310yeah I noticed too. the brothel/red light district building look pretty much identical.
>>733795376there are some real bangers but yeah, you're right it's the weakest
On NG+ i'm actually coming to conclusion that despite being visually samey bakumatsu is by far the best era. Best variety of encounters and mechanically diverse situations (especially thanks to the gunmen), best enemy variety, by far the best side dungeons too.Kasha's warehouse in particular is a joy to revisit, i love this level and i hope DLC makes more vertical levels like this.That's not to say two other eras are bad or anything, i like all 3.
>>733808156when are we getting an actual saber/rapier weapon in nioh
>>733808357I am glad you think it's too good rather than calling me out on fumbling near the end when he whiffs 2 hits and I panic like an idiot mashing block before hitting the air.
>>733808680Despite not liking it visually I think I like Bakumatsu the best too, gameplay wise. and it does make sense the areas are corridor-y cause the land is fuckedSengoku is just kinda boringI don't care about Heian cause I just hate snow areas in general
>>733808680They obviously put the most time and effort into Sengoku but Bakumatsu shows a maturation of their open field concept yeah. A DLC with the presentation of Sengoku but format of Bakumatsu will easily be the best.
>Yamatai is just a corridor and a dungeon>can't even go back to itwtfUnironically would have been the most interesting open world area
>>733809217yeah but they actually had to create stuff for it so that's why it's only a short part
>>733809104Gone like my yasakani
>get rise of the ronin because I already finished nioh and wanted moreI don't know if I'm feeling this parry system bros...
>>733809397You were warned
>>733809397The game bombed for a reason and Yasuda gambled everything on Nioh 3 anon
>>733808696never
>>733806915Have you considered that you don't need to max out games? Have you considered that by doing so you are actually shortening the lifespan of your hardware in a time period when a new CPU/GPU/RAM/SSD will be a VERY bad thing to have to buy? You should be playing at 1080p 60fps with power saver modes on to limit temperatures.Now here have a "disgusting" image of how this game looks at 1080p
>>733809397>don't like the combatI hope you like open world collecting because otherwise there's nothing else
>>733789157I don't care. Hiddy is the most fun to play.
>>733809308I thought the veteran's armor was it but they just look quite similar
>>733809397I ended up loving it
>>733806841Wirriam is a literal stranger to him, Chiyo is his grandson.Also, you meet him earlier in the timeline compared to Nioh 1 so he isn't as much of an asshole yet.
>>733809759i really doubt you are getting stable 16ms frametime with this game's performance unless you have at the minimum 7/9800x3d
Lost some playtime due to steam cloud. I'm sad.
>>733810093I believe there are multiple backup saves now, you might be able to save it
>>733809616I know this isn't the thread for it but launch wo long and RotR both tried to handle loot "criticisms" in different ways and both made the gearing terrible for the majority of the first playthrough.
>>733808156Historically accurate
>>733808696right after we get the oxtail blade
will i like wo long if i liked nioh 3 and 2?
>>733810391He should have worn this in game, it would be a nice change of pace. Chilling with Thomas was already neat
>>733808156Cavalry/Naval sabres are the coolest fucking swords and I need them to port the Saber fighting styles from Ronin to Nioh 3 right now.
>>733810496>will I like wo longprobably not
>>733810496maybe, I did
>>733810496It was alright
RIP He died as he lived.
>>733810496I'd try SoP or Rise before Wo Long if you're gonna stick to KT. I did not like Wo Long.
>>733810496Long as you don't go in expecting Nioh or even SoP. It's still (partially) a parry game. If you don't like those, Wo Long isn't going to change that.It has a lot of the same philosophies towards moveset design as the typical parry game.
So, either she's a yokai, or she's gonna die horribly.
>>733811618don't worry, that's my wife and I defend her very well
>>733811618Bakumatsu is when they realised it's actually possible to just put living normal humans in the game world and it makes the world feel more alive and filled with content.
Why do you think they made Wo Long and Rise instead of other Niohs or Nioh spin offs? Do you think they had a passion for trying something new?
>>733812169Can only hope they add a new Field in the DLC which has a mostly intact town with neutral NPCs walking around, defending their homes from random yokai invasions.
>I don't vibe with this universe
>Masamune Date died a year before the Shimabara RebellionOh, we're probably not going to see him in the Nioh 3 DLCs unless he's a Revenant or someone revives him
>>733812527These guys are saying the performance is bad on enemy roaming maps. I can only imagine how much more of a performance hit variable npc behavior would be
>>>/vg/
>>733812196Director said he wanted to take a break from the franchise and try something new, so you're spot on.
>>733812619yeah, but we'll probably see musashi again, as he participated in the shimabara rebellion
I let the yokai go by mistake because I thought some kind of dialog was coming and she just ran off. Fuck wish I deep sixed that ho
>>733787084>"furry"Amateurs.
Ain't Ii clan bonuses are really fucking good?You basically get +10% melee damage, A agility and A toughness, all Crimson General perks (and he has ki damage bonus)A agility A toughness alone is absolutely insane.
>>733813025Yagyu Jubei will likely also appear since his dad is in this game, and is only 4 years younger than Takechiyo
>>733806390The only map that looks good is Sengoku. Everything else is just spiky black diarrhea.
>>733812564I've seen so many random enemies just kill themselves instead of fighting in this game. I don't remember it being that common in the other games.
>>733813030Same, I was confused cause the game hasn't done anything like that before>>733813727Probably because the game is most vertical than ever before. Plenty of pathfinding confusion happened in my playthrough, from enemies jumping off to their death to just jump from one platform to another over and over again cause they can't figure out how to reach me.
>>733813030you get a new accessory if you go back to where the quest startedit's shit
>>733810553wdym? its literally his outfit below all his armor
>>733807208I mean, I eventually got the game running alright, but a game that looks like it's 2016 should run a lot better. My computer almost freezes if i alt-tab out of this bullshit, whereas even a game as famously taxing as CP2077 with Raytracing runs a lot smoother. The only game that ran this bad for me recently was DD2. This game's optimization is dogshit.
>>733813896Who fucking cares if you can't see it
i was like 35 hours into Nioh 2 when i switched to 3 and now it's hard to go back to it after beating 3 fffuuuu
>>733787084I just beat her and unlocked the cannons i guess? cannons are not marked on the map though? is it really worth running around looking for cannons?
>>733787084nioh newfag playing 2 rn, since im trying to use odachi and a little bit of fists ive been leveling strength and using heavy armor but im not getting much out of that stat and heavy armor. Do i level another stat instead? Also ive been neglecting magic and ninja skills to go full unga bunga but are they actually mandatory to use?
>>733814076You must go back, Nioh 2 has a great ending scenario
>Got all Ninja and Samurai titles, 500+ kills with every weapon>Hatchets and Splitstaff have become my favorites, regularly Weapon Flash between them>Spear locked in for one Samurai weapon>Can't decide on a second Samurai weapon
>>733814480oh i'm definitely going to, i'm going to finish wrapping up NG+ in 3 so i can properly go balls deep
>>733812619Still miffed we didn't a Maria rematch in Nioh 2, the assets were all there
>>733792149>nioh 1 and 2 are good, the rest is meme shitftfy
>>733812619How much Christian imagery will be in the Shimabara DLC?
>>733815110I'm mad we didn't get Hino-Enma. Chaining her soul core would be cool a fuck, goddamn it.
>>733815110What was the point of her cliffhanger in 1 if she was going to get gibbed in a cutscene in a game she never appeared in until that point
>finally hitting Beyond Infinity 100% of the timeFeels good man
>>733815148A good amount I imagine. They better go all out with making Amukusa Shiros design
can i get a QRD on NG+? is there some gear i should be targetting or anything that isn't obvious aside from just doing the main objectives again?
>>733815148So much it will make us think the next Nioh will be set in the Crusades or 100 Years War
>>733816359Reminded me of I think the producer of Nioh saying he wanted to make Nioh but set in Ireland with Irish folklore as the main setting or something like that. Would be dope.
>>733815148>Open Field around Hara Castle>Shiro's Christian rebels fighting Crucible-wielding Katsuie>You side with the Christians to clear out the Crucible and then you peace out, letting history take its course>Shiro displays the ability to banish Yokai with holy miracles>The Lord and holy powers confirmed canon in Nioh universe>Your Guardian Spirit roster gets expanded with Guardian Angels>Several weapon types get Christian imagery, like a splitstaff with a cross on each end, and an axe which is just a big crucifix
it'd be interesting to assume that our iemitsu isnt as much of a degen compared to the actual one because we had a yagyuu and hanzo training our ass so we never have a chance to think about it
>>733816689>Iemitsu>Siding with the christiansHearty kek
>>733817357some people just dont remember who told the tokugawa about how bad that faction of christians wereespecially being a direct victim of such a thing.
>>733815148christians as the bad guy...? That's kind of radical anon
>>733817357Historically, Iemitsu was told secondhand about the shit going down there by the corrupt lords who had been turning Amakusa and Shimabara into a hellhole for many years prior; he wasn't there. The Christian rebels couldn't maintain their position and get their side heard, so the Shogunate sent dudes to execute them all.If Takechiyo goes there in person, either he's going to side with whomever is not generating a Crucible, or he'll be able to recognize which side was doing dastardly shit and why the Christians rebelled.
>>733816124Do all the main missions then help others going through it in expeditions
So Nioh has dual-axes as a weapon type and it has a weird anime-weapon imported from Bloodborne...But Nioh doesn't have kanabos (maces)? A weapon mythologically associated with all things Demon related?Bruh department? I'd like to file a claim.
>>733818912It's in a weird spot like polearm where it would need a whole new original moveset
>>733818912Kanabos are just reskinned axes
>>733818912bloodborne wishes it was like nioh
>>733810496i really like wo long, and the DLC weapons were kino, whip and longsword would be right at home in nioh 3 desuwhip is a great ninja weapon and longsword has a huge focus on charging to differentiate it from odachi since that's a combo weapon
>need to wait for boss to render every retry>he can start attacking before being visibledont do open world when your engine can't handle it
>>733813363A agility A toughness is alright, but A toughness isnt as good as you think because its so easy to get actual real hyper armor during arts gauge attacks through cheap passive skills, and you're giving up huge regular damage bonuses to run 5p red general setits good for early game, but its like the drake sword, other stuff outscales it quickly with a little bit of investmentyou cant even play around it as like "5 pieces of red general equipment" and run the bow and odachi and yasakani and run 3 pieces of good armor with good bonuses (2p warrior of the east and 3p demon hunter for 25% martial arts damage)
>>733819947do you have this on an HDD or something I've never had this issueyour PC might be dying
>>733810496I normally don't like parry centric games (wasn't a fan of it in sekiro or lies of P) but for some reason I thought it felt really good in wo long. give it a shot
>>733818412They will make Amakusa have some sob story about how he was a good boy christian but then muh crucinite, like every other fucking cunt in this game.
>>733814504axe/sword if you like being OP2kat/cestus if you like strugglingodachi for the most mid weapon of all time
>>733818912not many good images of it apparently, but you can literally get shuten doji's kanabo
>>733820019it happens on specific situations when the enemy is in a slightly different rendering zone than the origin shrine
>>733818912can you really make a whole movelist from it that's completely separate from axes/hammers?
>>733818912theres a few axes that are maces
>>733820228>can you make a moveset fully seperate from axe/hammersis 2kat moveset really all that different from 1kat moveset?is spear moveset REALLY all that different from switchglaive moveset?low/mid/high stance is fairly homogenous regardless of weapon, and you could easily make more martial arts for a club/axe style weapon that are the separating factors between a kanabo and an axe classeither way, we are literally waiting for shuten to come back and then we have a literal kanabo, but my points is that regardless of the weapon they could make it meaningfully separate even with a similar light/heavy chain
>>733820056Wasn't fond of the Axe while I used it, it made me wonder if the actual Axe type equipped determines total reach, I had an Oak Hammer equipped most of the time by coincidence, but I used a Brute Axe appearance and I could see half of my axe swings pass right through enemies.If only I could equip three Ninja weapons, I'd slot in the N2Kat or Talons just for having solid well rounded aggressive moves that feel more consistent than the Samurai 2Kat and Cestus.I do have an Odachi collecting dust on my back right now, while I like doing Dempsey Rolls, Moonlit Snow, and Breeze loops, it doesn't really give me incentive to swap to over sticking to the spear.
They fucking ran out of biomes by Heian.The sequel to the timeless classic, piss filter - purple sludge filter.
>>733821519small company, they will make next game better due to all the money they made now
>>733820549>is 2kat moveset really all that different from 1kat moveset?ummm, yes. anon... i can't believe you thought you were onto something here>is spear moveset REALLY all that different from switchglaive moveset?also yesquick question: are you retarded or are you trying out baiting for the first time
>>733821519There's no way to outdo the greatest biome: stinky poop water.
>>733821519Bakumatsu started out really strong with the pleasure district too, it was all downhill from there. They did the Shinsengumi dirty too. At least the final crucible was fun.
I don't even understand what made kunimatsu so hardI died to him like 10 times more than my worst struggles so far but objectively his stuff isn't that hard to manageI thought I just sucked but a lot people had trouble too
>>733787084look at those titty veins!
>>733805872Nothing can survive three Scampus at once
>>7338219591kat >high stance is big swipes, high reach. finisher is morning moon, big damage high commitment>mid stance is medium speed, kick finisher as an option>low stance is quick and weak, exceptional dodge>iai strikes2kat>high stance is... big swipes, and lots of reach... and cherry blossom is a strong and high commitment finisher...>mid stance is... swipes with a kick finisher...>low stance is fast attacks and a good dodge>and it has iai...spear and glaive also have a lot in common just in terms of low/mid/high stance ranges and speeds (high stance 2 big swings, low stance short and quick) there are some outlier moves like flying monkey and arc of chaos but its not like comparing ninja tonfas to odachi or something. weapons that are similar in size and shape clearly share similarities
>>733822301who's the coomer boss of this game?
>>733822182Yokai boss hyperarmor and burst damage with human boss tracking and ki restoration
>>733822182it was a bit of a difficulty curve, I think a lot of people got caught off guard
>>733822405Tate Eboshi WILL suck eat your dick and you WILL like it
>>733822359ah, so you're just retarded. got it
>>733822182I don't get it either, he wasn't anything specialHardest bosses were easily takeda shingen (Forma human) and the final boss.
>>733822182he's early enough that people's only real experience with the human bosses in the game were 4 heavenly kings and kagetoki. normal people would have assumed kagetoki was the outlier since he has the infinite ki/hyper armor bullshit and cancels out of stun, unlike the 2 human bosses in 4 heavenly kings, so it surprises you when you find out that's just how human bosses are in the game
>>733822737Shingen is only artificially difficult with the omniversal fan parry and fast grab
>>733822763Kagetoki can be bullied like every human boss up to him, the biggest problem is that unlike 99% of the human bosses he actually has several moves that let him disengage with you and suddenly you're in hatchets hell and have to pin him down again.
>>733819996A toughness is more for getting less Ki damage from blocking if you suck at deflecting, but in ng+ it feels like you want to stack more -guard ki consumption instead because they deal more ki damage now even at A toughness
>>733822891>kagetoki can be bullied like every human bossliterally no he cant, he gets hyper armor on attacks and even casting onmyo unlike literally every other human in the game. he can cancel out of stagger into blocking mid combo even with zero stamina, start regenerating stamina, and then transition into an attack with hyper armor (all while regaining stamina faster than you can deplete it even when constantly attacking)he is literally a world of difference from the human bosses in map 1, and even any of the masters in map 1, 2 or 3
>>733822737?I first tried Shingen, he felt pretty manageable.
>>733822737>final bosssecond try, but maybe I was overleveled (my gear was around level 140)I feel like I barely see his moveset
how does this run on 4080
>>733822737I was a fag and kept using bolting boar to slap his ass onto the ground and beat him first try
why so many recycled bosses
>>733802457It would be extremely painful
>>733806390That looks like Hide's dad's fortress from Nioh 2, but intact
>>733810357Ronin's gearing was terrible for every time of the day>set bonus placement are completely randomized, any thing can have any bonus>farming is not even a thing because everyone can drop everything>the bonuses you get for the first NG are all generic shit like +10% attack, there are only 2 sets that alter the mechanics and they are only available after NGshit sucks I 100% the game but never cared about the gear at all
>>733824423Counter-argument: it had my wife
>>733824495bro is that the default twin blade
>>733802142The outfit in RotR with the partially exposed chest and tight pants was absolute sex
>>733824543yea
>>733824631hella
>>733824495It's almost like Nioh 3 should've had builds and bonds
>>733825076nah
>>733823038literally yes he can, bolting boar into groundquake. repeat til dead
holy fucking shit, this game fell off HARD after the todo clan nerf. wtf
>>733825921they turned off the fun mode, the only people left are onmyo spammers and soulsfags who dont even play the game, just complain
>>733825921>todo clan nerfwhat's that?
>>733814504The more I play 1kat the harder I find it to escape it.
>>733826016Todo clan bonus was bugged and doubled your HP
>>733825921>check the charts>business as usualTodo fags are trying a new narrative
>>733826095Shameful display of them oh my
>>733826095bro if I don't have double HP the game is LITERALLY unplayable
