No it isn't.

>TN releases all of their games in march
9 months wait.

>>713697812 (OP)
Hi

As a pconly fag, I'm actually glad I'll only have to wait a year and not fucking 2y

>>713698785
NG4 releases in october this year

>>713699791
The wait is even longer if you want to do the whole game with all the DLC it will get.

>>713700310
Considering how TN likes to lock so much of their endgame content behind dlc it's going to be a frustrating wait

>>713700021
Xbox's call. Game is already finished.

>>713700021
Wow a game that TN is merely 'advising', NG4 is platinum from top to bottom

I miss Hide :(

>>713697812 (OP)
Why did they drop the news almost a full year before release. There's nothing else I like the look of so I'm just stuck here replaying the other games I already dumped 300+ hours into

>>713701083
Surely you haven't played every Team Ninja Soulslike. Play Stranger of Paradise or some shit

>>713701168
You fool. I love Jack's game and have fucked my way through rifts already. Only game I haven't tried yet is wo long Johnson

>>713701083
>Why did they drop the news almost a full year before release.
For player feedback. It was a massive success for Nioh 1.

>>713701259
I really hope they listen to all the feedback. Unfortunately I'm a pcfag so didn't play alpha but I trust the dedicated fan community have provided legit feedback

>>713697812 (OP)
I miss Toyo...she was spunky.

>>713701079
Honeslty decent chance we see Hide or at least Wirriam. Knowing there's likely some time travel gimmick involved in the story means the game could easily be another "starts as a prequel but becomes a sequel". I think at the very least there will be a reference to Hiddy in dialogue as one of Nobunaga's retainers.

>>713701336
They'll listen but don't expect major changes, the shit people have been complaining about is deep baked mechanically and i doubt they'd rework the downgraded omnyo system for example

>>713697812 (OP)
I have a feeling I'll be strongly disappointed in this game cause my expectations are sky high after Nioh 2

>>713701441
Nioh 1 had weapon durability in the beta

>>713701441
From what I've seen I really dig the style switch system. I'm more worried about open ended levels hurting replayability and enemy density + difficulty suffering as a result of us getting more options in combat. The rest looks cool.

>>713701079
he was a mute in game and was a giant npc tho

>>713701441
>i doubt they'd rework the downgraded omnyo system for example
You've already been told that what was in the demo isn't fully representative of the system that's going to be in the full game. Hot takes like yours are built on a pile of ignorance.

>>713701698
Durability is a lot easier to remove compared to the stuff people have been complaining about in this alpha.

>>713701886
You're a retard and likely didn't play the demo, spells are locked to soul cores now, if the skill tree was still in the game and you could still set spells properly this would have been mentioned

Favorite yokai boss fights?

>>713702209
>You're a retard and likely didn't play the demo, spells are locked to soul cores now, if the skill tree was still in the game and you could still set spells properly this would have been mentioned

Do you know what every soul core we're going to get in Nioh 3? Do you even know how far you will be able to stack stuff before the game comes out?

No, you know none of this shit because we got a fraction of what is going to be in the game. Wait until the game is released because having a shit-fit over a demo is just embarrassing.

>>713702883
You call me pointing out something i don't like as a shitfit when they ask for feedback, maybe relax a little and leave the discussion to people who have actually played it,

>>713702212

>>713702209
yeah nioh 3 will also only have 6 weapons amirite?

>>713703401
The issue is that you're calling it a downgrade when not one of us know what the full potential of the system is going to be. Hate it all you want, I don't care, but be fucking honest about your ignorance of the system because again, no one knows what its full potential will be until all the content is completed.

>>713703401
>I played the demo for tutorial area and I see the full scope of the system now
retard

>>713703401
Retard, he was saying you obviously just want to be a doomer and shit up this (and probably every Nioh 3 thread before) thread.

>>713703585
Didn't mention weapons not sure what you're point is

>>713703654
It's a downgrade to go from a clear skill tree to relying on rng soul core drops for spells, it's a change that benefits nobody and is a good indication of the lack of a clear vision for what a third nioh game even looks like. Also pretty obvious you do care since you went straight to insults for no reason.

>>713703738
Wow i really shat up this thread where retards are talking about the wait

>>713704194
>0 reading comprehension
You said no onmyo tree in demo therefore no onmyo tree at all. Does that mean Nioh 3 will only have 6 weapons as well because no other trees can be seen? Retard.

>>713704507
The lack of a onmyo tree is obvious because they put them behind soul cores why would they do this if they also had a skill tree? did you think Wolong definitely had a MA skill tree after the alpha showed they were tied to rng drops?

>>713704782
Have you seen crucible weapons and weapon skills in demo? Now tell me why you also have weapon trees in demo, retard.

>>713704782
>Can get MA from Chijiko
>Nioh 3 will have no weapon skill tree
This is how retarded you sound

Yep the demo survey is definitely a mistake if retards like this are giving feedback.

>>713704194
>It's a downgrade to go from a clear skill tree to relying on rng soul core drops for spells, it's a change that benefits nobody and is a good indication of the lack of a clear vision for what a third nioh game even looks like.

Downgrade is a moot argument when no one knows what its full potential will be. Just take the L anon, there's no point arguing over a demo onmyo system.

How many onmyo spells did Nioh 2 have in total? 1 good thing I can think of with tying them to soul cores is that Nioh 3 will probably have a lot of yokai enemies (I'm assuming they will port everything from 1 & 2 and the demo alone had like 10 new ones) and if every 1 of them could drop a soul core we're looking at a lot of potential different spells.

>>713705476
>How many onmyo spells did Nioh 2 have in total?
Count them.

>>713705476
Here's Nioh 1's onmyo spells.

>>713704931
Pretty clear difference between these skills and fire talisman I being tied to a soul core i think. You guys seem to think only special spells come in these cores but it's basic shit. There is no reason to assume they would ALSO add a skill tree on top of this.

>>713705238
It's a downgrade freedom wise, why do i have to wait for a yokai to appear that may or may not drop a soul core instead of just unlocking the spell normally, what does this add to the game?

And yeah the point of the demo IS to argue about shit like this hence why they're asking for feedback. We went through this song and dance when the wolong alpha had martial arts tied to RNG.

>>713706012
>It's a downgrade freedom wise, why do i have to wait for a yokai to appear that may or may not drop a soul core instead of just unlocking the spell normally, what does this add to the game?
Have you forgotten how onmyo unlocks in previous games? Your complaint is still moot until we see the full game.

>>713706012
>doubling down
Just shut up, retard.
Soul cores are guaranteed on certain enemies. You would know if you replayed Nioh 2.
On the other hand, you need to invest 1 million levels into Spell to access some basic Onmyo skills.

>>713700927
How that's a problem? Plat are good dev, and TN is almost completely handling Ryu themselves and WoLong's director is 100% working on the game as well.

>>713710974
>shibata katsuie got to fuck this

>>713710974
So this is our new grandma, Nioh 3 bros

>>713711125
Some women are into ugly bastards.

Regarding Nine Tailed Fox, is there more than one of them? I only say this because Lady Oichi has one, yet this is before the release of the Nine Tailed Fox from The Mausoleum Of Evil. Not only that, Yodogimi's Nine Tailed Fox fuses with her to create the Nine Tailed Fox. Have I missed something because these events contradict one another.

On the topic of nioh. I'm currently doing a nioh 2 playthrough and have beaten the base game on its first difficulty
Since then I had a choice to start NG+ or try the DLC
The DLC right after what I beat the base game with felt quite hard, like I definitely felt undergeared/leveled coming fresh off the last boss. But after going NG+ for a bit and getting some gear there and trying again the opposite now its too easy. I don't want to just mow through it but I also don't want everything to just 1 tap me

So is there an ideal way to set my character up to do the base game DLC in a way that its at an appropriate level of challenge to my character and I'm not significantly over or under powered?

>>713701413
Makes me wonder how he/she's going to be implemented. I'm assuming Hiddy will have his default looks, but hopefully Nioh 3 will have a feature where it can read the save data of Nioh 2 match Hiddy to how he looked in your game.

>>713711523
I don't know why they show Nine Tailed Fox as being sealed within the mausoleum when Oichi has it as her guardian spirit. But there is only one I think. Oichi definitely had the same one as Yodogimi, but she knew that she could lose control and become taken over by the evil of her guardian spirit due to all the pain and suffering that she experienced. So she killed herself before that happened. Yodogimi similarly had a life of nothing but misery and losing the people she loved, the Nine Tailed Fox spirit within her made her turn that pain into a wish to just destroy everything. I see the Nine Tailed Fox as not an inherently evil thing, but as a boiling kettle that just explodes when the person has been through too much.

I never played Nioh 1's DLCs, is it worth going back for them? 2's combat makes it hard to go back to 1 desu.

Janomecho wife

>>713713675
>Janomecho wife

>>713713050
Yeah the DLC is safely the best part of Nioh for me. They are difficult but quite short and have all the best boss fights, along with some pretty good levels and set pieces. The siege of Osaka is also good to see if you are a fan of the history.

>>713697812 (OP)
It's been less than a month from the announcement and I'm already tired of waiting

Considering how mediocre the performance was for ROTR, I have no hope of running the game at 120fps on my 4080.

What would make a Wo Long 2 worth playing for you?

>>713714931
>remove morale
>make weapons more unique from each other (even if you have to remove similar ones like 3 different types of 1 handed sword)
>make skills learnable by leveling up/getting skill points instead of being socketed into weapons
>make parry not work on everything

does it make sens to play sop if I've never even touched a final fantasy game

>>713714931
Actual combo strings, and a shit ton of multi enemy fights, the game really shines in these sort of encounters but they're too rare

>>713715626
Doesn't matter when it comes to any Final Fantasy game.

>>713715626
You could play FF1 if you want some added value to the story but that's all. If FF1 doesn't appeal to you just play Jack's game.

>>713714931
I would play it just by it existing. Main things that I think need to be addressed
Enemy red attacks should require a different move in order to parry, one of the rare things sekiro does right. It gives way too much reward when it literally just uses the same parry input with no difference
You should be able to get 3 martial art skills very early into the game and you should be able to swap them, fixing this issue but locking it behind NG+ is retarded
I would want there to be more unique uses for martial arts, outside of fists they're just damage with the occasional launcher.
I want a dedicated PvP mode. Invasions are fun but I think there was a lot of potential in PvP. On that same subject, martial arts would need ways to vary the timing of them more or something because they're utterly useless because of how easy they are to parry and how you pretty much completely die if urs gets parried.

Best weapons: fists, tonfa, switchglaive
Worst weapons: axe, hatchets
Prove me wrong

Shill me on Strange of Paradise
I've tried it a few times and give up
It just seems like a much worse overlal mixture of Nioh and Wo Long
Like the jobs all seem to be 'press light attack and then press heavy attack for your eender', like there's very little variety in say :1+square, l1+triangle, ri+circlo kinda deal, like outside of a job having the special ability and the same light attack time X then heavy, it's just the same combat

>>713718236
hatchets are literally the only weapon in the game that can get you into close range from a further distance than any other weapon, it can also constantly do damage at range without, for the most part, being in danger
Like if the boss decides to sperg the fuck out and jump halfway across the arena, you can usually get a hatchet throw off to hit it. Evne a kusa is shit for it because of how slow the attack is but with a hatchet throw in high stance you just dodge the moment you want to dodge

>>713719257
>lmao why the fuck is she wearing an eyepatch over her perfectly fine eye?
She's a blacksmith, so she wears one to protect her eye from sparks when forging weapons and armor. Blacksmiths have been known to lose eyes.

>>713722056
then why not wear fucking glasses over both eyes?

I'm really tempted to go play some Nioh 2 again.

>>713722235
I'm playing Jack's game instead

>>713698234
>PC already confirmed

>>713722120
>then why not wear fucking glasses over both eyes?
Do you see any glass in the Sengoku period?

>>713722486
at least the same window is confirmed yeah, day 1 not sure

Was there a day/night cycle in the demo for 3 or is it frozen at a certain time of day?

>>713718994
its fun to soul shield
managing your break gauge with 2 classes and lightbringer is fun
its fun to constantly buff

I wished nioh 3 had adopted the constant buffing and the way lightbringer works

brehs... what if it sucks

>>713725274
Then we wait for Wo Long 2

>>713725361
what if that sucks

>>713725507
Rise of the Ronin 2

>>713725720
and if that sucks too

Is Nioh 2 anything like Strangers of paradise? That i have to farm for like 3 hours to take on the next superboss?

>>713697812 (OP)
I'm playing Death Stranding 2 right now, playing all the RE games from the first one because of RE9, and Ninja Gaiden 4 soon which is gonna be cool.

>>713727485
that's a lot of ifs...

>>713727807
No, you never have to grind to be able to beat the next level in Nioh 2. You can just play all the missions in the order they appear and you should never feel behind in terms of power level if you don't skip like all the side missions.

>>713727485
I don't think you like video games, anon

>>713727807
I never had to grind for Nioh 2 except maybe at the very start of the game where the bosses are wierdly among the hardest if not the hardest in the entire game, but grinding does very little in Nioh 2 in NG, you have to level up your own skill to get past those first 2/3 bosses and then the difficulty curve is a lot smoother.

Then again I dunno why you would grind in SoP as well. You get level 30 jobs pretty fast

>>713727807
You don't farm gear in Nioh games. Your gear is always going higher providing your progressing through the higher levels. You only farm gear if you're after something extremely rare, which you won't do until you're at end game content, which is the Underworld/Abyss.

Complete all 3 dlc on base ng then skip them for first 2 ng+ cycle
Ng is just a tutorial, focus on style, stance switching and fluxing

is the PC port of Wo Long as bad as people said?

Wo Long 2 when?

>>713744119
after Nioh 4

>>713737136
It'll probably have multiple ones like Rise of the Ronin did

>>713739445
You can probably bruteforce it by now if you have a good pc
Even Ronin unpatched is running flawlessly for me and looks beautiful. Maybe I'll try Wo Long soon

I liked the other reverse grip style more but gikei-ryu was cool too. I think Nioh 3 will reuses stuff from both of those styles and add new moves as well.
