Nioh 3 is out go buy it: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3681010/Nioh_3/

is dis where all gameplay clips will be ? there is none in /v/

Does anyone have a demo save they can upload?
I just want to see how the game runs in the "open world" for me before I get the full game.

>>556474752
Maybe, /v/ has a schizo making half the posts in all the nioh threads right now so it's kind of hard to discuss shit

taking a break for lunch. game has been fucking awesome so far and it's running great for me, demo had some slowdown but not in the full game. maybe i fucked up some settings before idk.
one thing though, with lighting turned on it can get way too dark, and not the kind of dark gamma fixes, just pitch black shadows. whilst turning it off makes the game kinda fullbright flat and PS3-4ish, but at least i can see clearly. (off in screenshot)

could say the open world-y design is quite uninspired, not gonna have those jaw dropping moments like Sofia riverbed / Nokron in Elden ring. but a surprising amount plays like a typical Nioh level, making your way through winding mountain passages, clearing villages etc. this coastal cavern area early on is basically like a classic area map.

as for it being so much easier - gotta be honest i prefer power fantasy games and slaughtering my through everything, maybe taking just a couple of deaths to bosses. i guess ng+ is there, and/or ignoring a lot of the exploration to go straight through the main stuff and challenge yourself.

gameplay is just so damn fun that's what matter most.

Tonfa is probably much stronger in ninja stance, but who else finds dual ninja swords much more fun?

Agreed on the open world. The only good reveal I've seen so far was Lake Hamana but it turned out to be kind of a nothing-burger only notable because it was the Sloth Talisman which I'd been hoping they cut from the game.

the lighting just feels so broken at times with how it does the flashbang at times, my pc is a bit on the older side so I have to run it a bit turned down but it still looks great aside from that. I might try turning it off entirely next time.

personally expecting the big jaw dropping things to be in a later zone, really looking forward to getting out of the tutorial area in the evening.

After the demo content your next main mission has a recommended level of 39. (like 20 levels higher) Not a big fan of the push to engage with the world map shopping list to grind out levels.

Previous games did the same thing, or you jump into the next NG+ cycle and the mission is recommended 150 - 200+ levels higher. Knowing the mechanics and having a handle on your build matter more than level.

Does the game get harder in later regions? I'm still in region 1 but it's quite easy compared to previous games. I deal more damage and take less damage.

Alsol, why am I showered with ninja and samurai points? I already have everything I want. Now I'm just putting points in other weapon types just because until I unlock the skills that require specific missions or books.

I'm in a weird position of really not liking 1 (it was ok up until umibozu at which point it got worse and I dropped it) but I loved 2, basically did everything in NG besides beat Ren.

How's 3 in that sense? Closer to 1 or 2?

Does anyone remember the Nioh 1 side mission that's in the Umibozu map/arena, where you finally go into the boss room, and you fight mini umis and a dual blade ogre, then more minis and an eye ogre, then a fucking tengu guy? I don't know if there's more after him he always kills me. I got close once but died anyway.

I dropped the game while on that mission for literal YEARS and occasionally go back and try to beat it and continue but it's fucking impossible for me even with my guardian spirit form (when I'm lucky enough to fucking have it). I also literally can't figure out what I click to leave the mission, but I also refuse to anyway because back then I made it to the shrine literally 10 seconds away from the boss room door and I'm pretty sure you have to go through a whole big level beforehand.

I've never played a Nioh game before. What do you do about being over-leveled from exploring too much? The game is really fun when you are at the recommended level but I've got enough xp to double the recommended level and it is boring as shit to just steamroll everything. Do you all just intentionally lose levels to keep yourself in the sweet spot?
>>
>>556539562
Monitoring this post. I'm new aswell and tend to be so thorough I do/aquire literally everything in a single playthrough. This could be a problem for me later on.
>>
>>556539562
it was always like that. it's a cozy grinding game. in previous games there were 5 extra difficulties so you didn't feel obliged to full clear everything. idk about this one but i presume it's the same.
>>
>>556539562
Doesn't matter. When you get to NG+ the level requirement will jump up like 150-200+ but as you get NG+ drops you'll catch up in power relatively quickly. Learning the mechanics and figuring out how you want to play your character and building towards that carries most of the weight.
>>
How many more full maps are there after the first?
>>
>>556539562
Just keep playing, and have fun with bloodedge demons if you leveled up in the demo :)
I hit 65 in the demo so fighting bloodedge demons is way more fun they scale to your lvl but since your gear is still garbo in the first area they can literally one shot you with their back leap attack, this is in full heavy armor with high stam, steel talisman on too AND through block.

I had to actively hit and dodge to beat this one, it was my 5th kill I think they also get stronger the more you kill too on top of scaling to your lvl.
>>
>>556523936
early unique boss which is also in a early kino area
it kind of reinforces that feeling of "yeah this game is awesome" plus I'm sure all the guys love her look.

her dialogue is funny with english dub
>>
I don't understand the reason for the crossroads on the map directly after the demo where you either take the left or right path. There is a level 35 zone adjacent to the right path that drops level 41 gear which trivializes the whole west/south west section of chapter 1 if you didn't clear that part first. The enemies aren't even punishing and I wasn't looking at the map's region levels so I accidently fucked up the balancing for myself.

>>556545170
>souls
There's some key differences. There's an emphasis on managing the stamina bar, both yours and the opponents, a little like in Sekiro.
Your inputs will be more complicated than the usual Souls R1 spam. There's combos and key combinations you'll need for certain moves.
There's diablo-like loot for some reason but for the most part you can get by by picking the weapon with the highest damage number.
But other than requiring a few more tutorials, I wouldn't say it's too hard.
>where winds meet
I know nothing of that game

>>556545462
You can manage them in shrines. You can either put them into Yin boxes, which turns them into spell talismans you can use, or into Yang boxes, which turns them into Yokai pokeballs. You use the pokeball, the yokai pops out, uses an attack and dissapears.

Damage buff when attacking from behind. You apply confusion then mist and fuck them up, or mist to bat a multi hit attack like bloodedge spinning bounce away from you. Dodge is usually better but mist has its uses, or you can switch to burrow that makes you invuln long enough to fully regen ki.

starting w/ these skills, allows you to do an easy stance switching combo out of light or heavy. im sharing this because it's probably not super intuitive to start.

When it marks shit on your map, does it not show chests you can't get yet, or does it just arbitrarily not show all of the chests in an area?
>>
>>556580186
See the spirit that's next to the unlocked spirit vein
that's the treasure you're missing

the spirit icons on the big map are always important items and count towards the treasure chest counter

>>556583405
for whatever reason this game is big big power fantasy and not so difficult, at least early on. in nioh 2 you'd be suffering against the boss of the second mission until you learned the game mechanics
>>
When do I get 2 weapon slots?
>>
>>556583537
probably region 2

kind of crazy even though I spent a good 30 hours in the demo I'm still 9 hour into region 1 on the save save with the full game.

If the game is too easy do what I'm doing and just test out all the weapons as you go through the map on top of unlocking all crucible skills, made it way more fun, I did the same in 2 if things felt too easy I just used other weapons and leveled them up through the levels and used my main wep on bosses.
>>
Is my damage too low? I feel like I'm doing alright on the bosses but they just take forever so my mistakes really mount up over time.
>>
>>556585882
because you're just pressing square in mid stance with 2kat lil bro...at least do high stance square square triangle (cherry blossom) or god of wind II to break ki. and use your GS skill, they come out lightning fast in this game
>>
and if you got em staggered or against a wall you should water sword them pretty much every time
>>
is it just me or are scampuss the cutest open world mascots ever ? Koroks got nothing on these goofballs.
>>
>>556586274
i like the ferrets
>>
>>556586167
cherry blossom takes forever to come out and I literally used God of Wind II in the webm
I'll try to remember the spirit moves tho
>>
>>556586456
that was god of wind I after a full mid combo string. just spam the art itself. you need to avoid doing long quick attack combo strings and focus on using arts to deal damage. (god of wind I isn't that great, II is where it's worth)

i have like 500 hours of 2kating
>>
>>556586586
Well damn I got him. Thanks, 2katanon. Is Water Dance the optimal ki break punish or should I be looking for some heavy combos instead?
>>
>>556587694
water sword scales to infinity
>>
>can't hide 2nd weapon
fuuuck even Nioh 2 let you do that
>>
>>556587973
must be an oversight
>>
>>556587694
water sword is excellent ki punisher, if you ki bar is close to full
>>
>>556588065
yeah your only options atm is hide sheathed weapon or always display, hide sheathed hides both of your weapons, always display shows both my 2kat and 1kat at the same time, kinda annoying aesthetically

Which game has more nice cosy sunlit areas, nioh 3 or code vein 2 ?

Started playing a few hours ago and as per normal with this game, the story hits me with a weird whiplash in hindsight

>within 5 minutes he's slaughtering everything he comes across
lol

Also when the fuck do I get my first pair of fists? I've progressed the main story a chunk and I'm still stuck on weapons I don't give a fuck about
>>
>>556589001
it's random
>>
>>556588917
if you're asking about which one to buy, it's nioh 3. but i really like CV2 as well. good game. both games have a time traveling protagonist with a smallish open world.
>>
>>556589001
also you can just craft them at the blacksmith
>>
lots of sun in both games
>>
>>556589113
I meant the lighting. They both seem to feature a lot of dark/overcast environments, and too much of that makes me feel sad.
>>
>>556589247
CV2 is industrial post apocalyptic with strong color grading, you can change the weather whenever you want. nioh 3 has apocalyptic hellscape which you can cleanse and make a nice sunny day
>>
hoho, the boss rush is pretty challenging
>>
>>556589320
With this information I can defeat my weather-based autism
>>
>>556589565
both games prominently feature dark, gloomy indoor environments at times, it's just kind of how souls games work ya know
>>
>>556589001
check if you don't have a pair craftable. only they fucked up the categories and cestuses won't show up until you've had one in your inventory, so you have to scroll through the general tap to find it.

Does this game not have iframes
>>
>>556593472
it has lots of iframes. if you're in samurai mode, it depends on the stance. higher stance = more iframes but longer recovery. ninja's dodge and mist seem to be like low stance but travel way further

and you are invulnerable while grappling and casting living artifact

I've bought and played both previous titles but can't ever complete these games because the devs give up on enemy design after making like 5 enemies for the entire game.

Is this game any better at actually giving new shit to fight frequently? Its Open World slop now so I have my doubts but it be nice for a Nioh game to actually be good all the way through.

samurai dual katana was always the busted one. even in early nioh 1 single katana wasn't really op but they had to nerf it because more than 50% of the playerbase was using it exclusively anyway.

Dont listen to these Odachi basedboys . Axe has a skill that basically turns you into eh juggernaut. You run forward while taking no damage while holding the button and just push knock enemies over. You're literally unstoppable. If you want to be strong, be an Axe Chad.

This is incredibly easy to a fault. It's not even the player character getting stronger like some people are claiming, enemy stats are just tuned much lower and have easier movesets (wtf did they do to nure onna's lol)

That first boss is definitely harder than the roaming Gozuki in 2.
>>
>>556612905
that guys attacks have a massive wide range, during the demo when queueing for random multiplayer I had a ton of hosts who would rush in and die while I had the boss focused on me because it arcs all the way around him.

Fight Honda in Nioh 2 immediately when he unlocks and then fight Honda in Nioh 3 when he unlocks. This is super obvious stuff, not gas leaks or my old brain getting to getting to me. I also posted this while my character is alt tabbed in a hot spring and I'm hard now.
>>
>>556613736
I mean the range shouldn't matter if you get iframes, which I feel you should using mist. I don't want to click the block button.

Do a normal dodge, this becomes especially fun when you get the ability to throw a shuriken on perfect dodges like a true shit eating ninja.

Can you get Hanzo's set weapons on the first battle scroll you fight him in (the one you unlock after you rescue his cat and do the subsequent mission of catching it) or am I wasting my time grinding him there?
All he's dropping is his armor set and his old spear weapon that is a samurai only weapon.

Not that guy but I just fought him in 3. 1 try. He took me close to 40 in 2.

>>556613307
It is weird if you go back to nioh 2 and everything can still 1-2 shot you even in the heaviest armor on NG while nioh 3 makes you a tank god within the first 5 hours.
But I think they did the same thing as elden ring which is also much easier than the original dark souls games, with the open world nature they toned down dmg because you're spending more time in the field with higher mob density but also just like elden ring they also have a million shrines (graces) all over the place so even retards can progress.

it's a weird combination, I personally don't like either but I also understand they want money and casualfags bring in money.

block doesn't work like fromslop games, it's actually pretty vital in nioh.
Learn to appreciate and use block, don't just hold it down but sometimes you need a block buffer into a dodge to space out enough from enemies.
You also have to use properly timed blocks to get off deflects (parries)

it is? they just kinda bounce around

>>556614409
Adding, in nioh if you get hit by an attack you need to block the next hit to stop being staggered and dodge out of it, trying to dodge out of a combo that's already hit you will result in you getting bodied most of the time.

It's as per course for Nioh but now that it's open world it really feels weird when everybody everywhere is dead. Tokugawa's castle has 2 or 3 NPCs. The demo had more with the guards at the locked gates.

Nioh 2's character creation was way better than 3's.

Been playing non-stop since launch that I didn't know there was a general.
Anyway, my muscle memory keeps fucking me over for Ninja style.
I keep unconsciously trying to flux after I'm done attacking while in Ninja style, which just results in me wasting ninjutsu charges.
And while I'm on the subject of Ninja style, I'm enjoying it far more than I thought I would.
I still hate that you can't play weapons like Splitstaff and Hatchets the traditional samurai style, but as a whole, Ninja style (with all of its fun utility tools it gets) is the most Ninja I've felt playing a Nioh game. Old ninjutsu was boring. It was basically magic spellcasting but with a ninja paintjob. Ninja style in Nioh 3 actually feels like a nimble ninja.
I love that you have so many cool crowd control tools and even defensive tools.
Like, you have that ground spike wall that's literally airlifted from Wo Long's similarly designed earth element spell (both of them can stop projectiles). You also have Razor's Edge's Cicada Surge (renamed Cicada Shell).
I love even basic shit like summoning a temporary clone that's so useful for group fights.
I just wish that we had more than 3 possible ninjutsu a person could carry at any given time.
For those of you out there who are way further into the game than I am (I'm still in region 1), do you actually get to unlock more ninjutsu slots? Otherwise, this is an even lower carrying capability than launch Wo Long's measly 4 wizardries.

On a different note, I fucking HATE that interacting with objects is R1. So many times I try doing things like iai slashing and I end up trying to interact with a shiny on a corpse. I wish it was possible to separate the stance and interact functions. If that was possible, I'd buy one of those controllers with two back buttons and put interact on one and jump on another so that my controls can be 100% the same as Nioh 2. This R1 niggle is my biggest issue in the game, alongside Crucible Wasps.

The game is way too easy and it's entirely due to being able to super buff heavy attacks and martial arms in samurai style. If you took that out of the game, it'd be way more balanced already.
>>
>>556646663
>I wish it was possible to separate the stance and interact functions.
Are you sure it's not possible? You can customise control schemes beyond the default A-E schemes. I'm not sure about that exact case, but I got example swapped the Guardian skills on B scheme (cuz why the fuck did they but match the up/ down to icon positions)

>>556647245
How far in did you get? It seems to me like the difficulty rises in time (or maybe I'm just bad, but the Four Kings mission for example seems significantly harder than the stuff before it).

It has i-frames, what's going on with that fag is that he doesn't have hitboxes which properly follow the sword, instead it looks like he just gets a big fucking arc/circle which goes active when he starts to swing then stays active across a massive area for longer than your i-frames last. So dodging *through* the blade which should be the best way to avoid the swing with i-frames just ends with you getting hit by an invisible hitbox that is still behind him after the sword already passed by
>>
>>556647298
If you can separate those functions, then I can't find it.
First thing I did upon booting up the game was change my control settings to Type F. I know that you can further customize your controls by pressing X in that controller menu, but I wasn't able to find anything suggesting I could separate interact and stance.

The comments about the perceived lack of difficulty here and on other sites are surprising to me.
I can only comment on the first region since that's what I've experienced thus far, but it so far feels no different than the first regions of the previous two games.
In Nioh 1, the main source of anguish and death in region one was the side mission version of Muneshiggy and Hino Enma's paralysis as a knowledge check.
In Nioh 2, the only real source of anguish and death in region one was Yatsu No Kami. Mezuki was a creampuff tutorial boss (like Derrick and Yamagata in Nioh 1 and 3) and Enenra was only mildly challenging.
Most of my deaths in the first region of the previous two games were from those aforementioned boss fights. I didn't really die to regular enemies more than a handful of times.
Still, even if the rest of Nioh 3's base game stays at this level of difficulty, I wouldn't be worried, since both Nioh 1 and 2 ended up having Way/Dream of the Nioh difficulties and their respective Abyss/Depths that dished out tons of pain (especially if you used Stone of Penance+9 in the second game that guaranteed almost everything one-shot you).
Note that we've had this same rodeo before with Nioh 2 (pic related, which I grabbed from here https://www.powerpyx.com/is-nioh-2-harder-or-easier-than-nioh-1/). As we all know, the base game on Dream of the Samurai and the game at the Depths 20+ are two completely different beasts in terms of difficulty.
Some might object to the idea of difficulty backloaded to higher difficulty cycles and prefer difficulty to be frontloaded, and you're certainly free to feel that way. I have no problem with TN's approach to difficulty. As long as they end up delivering on a challenge by the end of the game's update cycle (as they always have), I'm fine.

At the same time in Nioh 3 it really really sucks going to previous areas while being overleveled, you're just 2 shotting every mob with light attacks. I really hope that someone's making a level scaling mod

>I really hope that someone's making a level scaling mod
Is there no Level Sync or Stone of Penance here in Nioh 3 at all?
With how much Nioh 3 is taking from literally every previous Nioh-era TN game, I'm genuinely surprised those two things aren't in the game (assuming of course they actually aren't in the game and not that they haven't been discovered yet).
A Stone of Penance and Level Sync is like a cost-free solution that keeps difficulty as high as players want the difficulty to be.

>>556654674
Proper affixes in gearing and buff stacking have always made a huge difference in damage output and defense. Even as far back as Nioh 1, you could find people using absolutely busted builds that just one- or two-shot bosses in that game's Abyss endgame mode at Floor 900+. Difficulty in these ARPG games have always been largely something you have to set for yourself. Once again, as long as Team Ninja manages to add ball-busting difficulty modifiers (that players can set themselves) by the end of the game's post-launch support cycle, I'm perfectly fine.

>>556654504

Are you talking about Saito Toshimitsu? If so, he wasn't even added to the game until patch 1.09 which came out in May of 2020 (the game came out in March of that year).
The only real filters that universally filtered everyone in Nioh 2's base game at launch that I could remember is Shibata Katsuie. And he was nerfed as a result (though I don't exactly remember how he was nerfed).
>>
>>556655372
no, you can only make your samurai form and ninja form look different within the same gender. i imagine a mod to let gender change between appearances will be made early.

No, most modern CPUs are designed to work at peak efficiency until 95-100c or so when they start thermal throttling. 80c under load is within the design spec. That said, if only one game like this is pushing CPU that high, then there is something odd going on. I can play other heavily CPU-intensive games and not see anything above 65-70c.

The game just keeps getting easier somehow. I think the hardest part was beating the prologue boss with 3 elixirs. The snake hand boss at the end of the first area got me a few times, and I think I used all my elixirs to beat it. Since then every boss and miniboss I run into is getting absolutely crushed and I'm just switching weapons randomly. I don't even have the skills unlocked and I'll even use weapons where I have the relevant scaling stats at 5. I have 25/28 unused samurai/ninja skill points. I feel like I just do insane damage for no reason. The lumber chop (hold triangle high stance) axe skill does like 3,000 damage and odachi has a similar attack.
I'm still having fun but I'm 18 hours in and definitely wondering if it's going to get harder before ng+

Naotora would never describe Naochika as her "adoptive brother".

The hard part about pre-nerf Shibata Katsuie wasn't that (that move actually was good for the player, because whenever he did that, his tusks would glow, which allowed you to break them with just about anything, even with a Brute burst counter slap, and breaking them would both stop him in his tracks and shave off like 20 percent of his max ki bar), but rather his insanely fast grab.
Which wasn't really an issue since by that point you have tons of soul cores that you could use to be invincible from grabs like Yoki, Namahage and Nurikabe. Him having a deadly grab was balanced out by how pitifully small his ki bar was.
But of course, people would rather bitch and moan instead of learn. The moment they encounter any sort of difficulty, they immediately cry and campaign for nerfs by whining incessantly online and finding other like-minded scrubs to raise a stink.

Because they follow the sjw doctrine out of greed rather than belief, so they end up accidentally skipping a few steps unless directly told to.

True woke niggers always ugly-fy female facescans on purpose as attractive women are problematic, which is why male facescans come out normal but women come out fucked. KT/Team Ninja facescans both and doesnt do "corrections" later because they think thats normal (just make them both good looking) and dont understand why would anyone do otherwise.

I think its a balancing act between better facial animation or better facial scanning. Capcoms faces look so different to their models but the faces are able to portray more subtle movements and realistic expressions, I remember being very impressed by the DMC5 photo mode and seeing all the face expressions characters make when you catch them mid action. Then you look at like the yakuza games or this and the faces are 1:1 but they still move their faces like ps2 npcs

Team Ninja basically is the reason for almost all of my gaming hardware purchases.
The only console purchase I made that wasn't due to a Team Ninja game was my 3DS. I bought it to play Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.

And in case you're curious, SOP does work on my PC, it's just that I had to basically use Special K to delete as much in the way of hair and fur textures as possible so that my game could run 55ish fps at the lowest possible settings. Some of you probably recall the bald Jack webms with zero lighting I posted on /v/ back when the game first came out. It drove me insane, so I bought an Xbox Series S where it runs 60fps like at least 90 percent of the time and where I don't have to make Jack bald just to do that.

It isnt much cut corner as much as it is common sense meets biased dogmas. They were never explicitly told to ugly-fy the women so they didnt do it as that makes no sense outside of the "pretty women are forbidden" mindset of woke.

They were however told directly to make men/women the typeA/B and that sexy outfits were no-no, so they got rid of them because they may not get why they get money for it but will gladly do for more good boy points. Make no mistake, if they were told "make the face scanned women fugly" they would do it in a heartbeat.

She retired when she became pregnant, which was like inbetween Nioh 1's development and its DLC. That's why she doesn't appear in it.

Ninja Yoki can do some solid ki and hp damage, his tracking isn't half bad either. I want to know if we're going to equip more than one soul core in the Yin side later or not. I made it to the Heian period and so far aside from 2 new guardian spirit options for overworld shit, I haven't unlocked anything else yet.

Unironically this. The amrita Sudama gives you is free Living Artifact. Spam him whenever you can and you'll always have enough amrita to have Living Artifact whenever you want, which is much better than a single Yokai attack the other summons give you.

I haven't seen a bloodedge demon since the demo zone is my game bricked (I fight like 5 revenants in every area atleast)

shouldn't it leave a big red arrow every time you kill a revenant?

they are never worth the hassle.

they used to but its been hours since they did that when they died

I can't qualify it but maybe it uses too much of the low stance moveset?

anyone found the fire shuriken manual?

the fuck is a bloodedge demon anyway
>>
>>556682553
he scales to your lvl, gives a fuck ton of amirita and also gives umbracite and demon blood crafting materials

umbracite so far only drops from bloodedge demon and if it works like nioh 2 it means you can only kill 1 bloodedge a day before a new one spawns.

So I heard you can use Guardian Spirit skills (R2+Square) to serve as burst counters in a way similar to Brute burst counter in Nioh 2. I tried it on a bunch of enemy red attacks and I can't seem to make it work. Do I have to equip a certain skill in order to do that or am I just timing it wrong?

>>556690386
It's only the first act that has the difficulty tuned down, and only until the last couple bosses. After that it's business as usual.

But, no, enemies that are straight up bullshit are not a good thing.

>tfw I finally found the skill text that allows me to have purity block from Nioh 2
It's called "Recoup" in this game.
Don't ask me where I got it from though, because I forgot (I typically clear like 3-4 small areas before cashing in all my skill texts and soul cores at a shrine).
Once I finally get this game's version of Ki Pulse: Man and get my elemental reduction on block to 100 percent, then my block will be invincible like it was in Nioh 2. I refuse to deflect. I refuse to even unlock it on my Samurai skill tree.
