It's a good game...but not a good Nioh game
It's a great game and a great Nioh game.It just needs DLC, some competent tweaks to performance, and less jailer Oni.
It was good just too much open world filler. I was way over leveled by the end which never happened to me in Nioh before.
Man, my issue with ninja mode isn't even that it's more simplistic it's the fact that stat-wise it's STRONGER than samurai too. I only messed around with ninja in the first region but then switched exclusive to samurai but after completing the first crucible in bakumatsu (last region?) I decided to try ninja mode again and without putting any effort into any kind of builds or anything my general damage, ki damage, and even red ki damage is HIGHER than samurai. Fucking why? I'm using the ninja 1kat why is RAPING enemies vs my Odachi?
It's a good Nioh game...but not a good game
>>741796808they should have listened to me...an autistic gamer with 2000+ hours in nioh 1 and 2...I would've made a better nioh 3...
>>741797817no you wouldn't have
>>741797980yes I would have>add 3 superbosses in the base game>have ninja/onmyo has a natural part of the combat system instead of its own mode/voluntary mechanic>removed any super states, that shit is stupid>take away all cheesey options>have enemies with shortened movesets in the beginning then fill them out as the game progresses>have real platforming instead of unlockable mcguffins that unlock new areas>make buffs chain together but last not as long, this aint an RPG, if you have to rely on buffs you are a bitch>reward players for constantly switching stances by having a universal buff you get immediately that makes you move and act faster>add a fishing mini game
>>741798640>>add 3 superbosses in the base gameThis doesn't really mean anything. basically saying "uhh make game gooder">>have ninja/onmyo has a natural part of the combat system instead of its own mode/voluntary mechanicWo Long exists for that. Nioh is an ARPG at the end of the day and they intentionally made it so you can only play with one style if you want. Also Onmyo has always been cheesy.>>removed any super states, that shit is stupidOkay you're just a retard who wants to force people to play a very specific way then? Yeah man those 2k hours really proved you know the appeal of the series! >>make buffs chain together but last not as long, this aint an RPG, if you have to rely on buffs you are a bitch>>>this aint an RPGYou're a fucking midwit.
I tried the beta and the first thing you do is a walk and talk section. I alt+f4'd after seeing that shit. It is NOT a good game.
>>741799086>Okay you're just a retard who wants to force people to play a very specific way then?>defends the thing that lets you ignore the combat for a few seconds while you are invinciblelmao
>>741799248i haven't played since shortly after release but i cannot recall a 'walk and talk' section that lasted more than ~20 seconds before being interrupted by combat in the entire game.
>>741799370You are literally trying to force people to play a very specific way when Nioh has always gave players varieties of ways to interact with the system. Do not try and impose you're "le you didn't beat the game" shit onto Nioh. You're trying to say they should delete super modes not because they're a detriment to the actual combat because it PERSONALLY bothers you that some people can use them to bail them out of tough situations. Even though these modes get nerfed in every game. Living Weapon was definitely too strong but it also matched what human enemies could do so to some degree it's balanced (not counting dumb late game builds where LW has 100% up time).
it is the dark souls 2 of nioh
Nioh 3 is incredibly deep but it doesn't matter when the balance of damage and health is so FUCKED. Praying this gets fixed with DLCs or with the abyss equivalent mode
Hatchets > 1kat > Tonfa > 2kat > restsplitstaff, kusa, and talons basically don't even feel like real weapons to me. Boring and slow.
The story was likely changed halfway through.
>>741803165why
>>741796808Nah, the game is a good game and a good nioh game, it is just that 2 was perfect and will never be surpassed2 > 3 > 1
>>7418051212 is in no way perfect.
>>741805476Name 1 (one) game more perfect than Nioh 2.
>>741805121I really fucking hate yokai burst cancel
Moving away from selectable levels was a mistake, but it was a good game, it's just incomplete like 2 was before the DLC's.
>>741796808It's not finished yet, nig nog
Too bloatedDogshit level structure
>>741805712nioh 1
>>741796808>doesn't bore you to death in the first 10 hours>not a good Nioh gameSeems about right.
>>741806149How much did 2 change in the base game? Because I only played the complete edition but I was already in love with it on the first playthrough before the DLCs.
>>741800665Nioh 2s issue was that you basically had to spec into ninja and magic a little on every guild because there were quite a few cheap and powerful options. Shit like reduced damage and the stamina buff or the scroll that let you survive a fatal blow. You had enough left over after optimising that it was silly not to. It meant that builds all felt the same.
nioh 3 has 2 dlcs yet to be released, we have to talk about it when they dropnioh 2 is better for now.. but when nioh 3 catches up it'll be better
>>741798640>>take away all cheesey optionskill yourself
>>741807093It didn't change that much. The main thing is just more skills, there was one big patch that added a ton of new skills for almost every weapon somewhat randomly. Fists as a DLC weapon were also super fun which weren't in the base game.
>>741805762Wait, did 3 finally ditch that trash? Maybe I'll give it a try. Then again, I'm sure it's bloated UEslop that won't work on my machine.
>>741808627They didIt's not any more bloated than the other gamesIt runs like ass, had to enable frame gen like in rotr
>>741808627>Wait, did 3 finally ditch that trash?Sort of. Yokai skill system is technically gone, in that it's not a core mechanic. You skill have yokai cores and can summon yokai but they work like summoning them from a box like that one girl in Nioh 2 DLC but you never become a yokai cuz the protag isn't part yokai. You equip yokai summons in your item slot like magic spells.The protag in this game is part guardian spirit or something like that so you can use two guardian spirit skills. One is an attack that uses the GS with your character, another is just summoning them like in previous games but there are dedicated buttons to do this similar to yokai skills but again you only get 2. Burst counter still exists but now you either use a guardian spirit attack to stop them (similar to brute in nioh 2) or you use the style switch mechanic. Not all guardian spirit attacks are built the same and some burst attacks are definitely too slow to counter with a GS attack. Style switch also does not cancel your attacks like yokai skills did UNLESS you equip a specific skill but even then, it doesn't feel as broken as yokai skills did since style switch doesn't do anything besides switch styles or counter burst attacks
>>741796808>not a good Nioh gameNo shit, it's basically bunch of mechanics from all their recent titles jammed into one patchwork of a game.
>>741803467Bakumatsu doesn't make sense. It wasn't a war, if it was Takechiyo should be siding with his grandson.
>>741810369>Takechiyo should be siding with his grandson.If that were true, then he would also side with his brother who wants to kill him....The protag obviously fights for what he believes is right and the tokugawa in bakumatsu is not doing what's right. Also he's chasing after Himiko who is hanging with the chosu gang so
>>741809894
>>741810727The real Iemitsu sentenced his brother to death after a rebellion. And the time travel to the past could be Takechiyo's imagination from reading historical records.
