We must prepare for nioh 3. Practice your ki pulse techniques daily.

I missed the demo, how was it?
Nioh 2 is probably my favourite game of the past decade

You will never be Japanese

>>714208247
good thing no one said that then

>>714208247
And I'm so glad for that fact.
Anyway sell me on Nioh 1 if i liked Dark Souls 1 and 2 but hated 3.
I love Ninja Gaiden 1 and vanilla NG2 but I know that team ninja has been incompetent ever since it's release, so I don't expect Nioh to have nearly as good action as NG. How is it as an RPG?

>>714208678
it's an RPG just like Dark Souls, as in it's not.

>>714208192
Mine too

>>714208192
very promising. potential to be better than 2 for sure
my only issue is that ninja mode never clicked for me. Maybe it'll open up more with new abilities and experience, but it didn't feel very satisfying to me in the demo

>>714209551
>very promising. potential to be better than 2
I think so too. There's definitely a lot of potential for ninja style and hopefully they expand on what you can do

>>714208076 (OP)
Is KI pulse technique like male kegels?

>>714209551
Ninja is actually super satisfying if you become proficient at class switching depending on what you need to do. Basically all good players developed a style where they synergize samurai and ninja modes instead of using one of them exclusively.

>>714208076 (OP)
My favorite thing to do in 2 was fight Yasuke on the hardest difficulty with my female tiddy hiddy, and if I lost I’d draw him mercilessly fucking her and not play for the rest of the day

And when I won, I’d draw her fucking me

Needless to say, I lost a lot. But each time was so exciting and exasperating. When I finally won, I didn’t care too much

>Basically all good players developed a style where they synergize samurai and ninja modes instead of using one of them exclusively.
I see that. It worked very well in stranger of paradise. I haven't played the demo but could style switch be done to animation cancel anything?

>>714210034
yeah, I'm sure samurai just feels so much better because that's what I have 1000+ hours of practice on already, whereas ninja is something I need to learn from scratch

People can say anything about Nioh 2's story but the finale was fucking incredible, easily among the most satisfying endings i've seen in the entire genre.

Is 2 worth checking out if you finished the first one? I platinum it last year.

>>714212023
Absolutely

>>714212206
Is 2 busted as the first game where you had the infinite living weapon exploit if you didn't patch it?

>>714208076 (OP)
She has a white boyfriend

>>714212498
No but it doesn't need it. Nioh 2 has a million optiond to break the game and have fun.

>she has a white boyfriend

I didn't get a chance to play the demo, but is it true they basically took your abilities and made it so you can only use them with certain weapons? Like apparently you can only use Ki pulse and blocking with certain weapons and only dodge with other, different weapons or something? Because if that's the case fucking yuck.

Then what's the difference between these Samurai and Ninja modes exactly? I keep hearing weird contradictory things.

>>714213347
BASED

Is it okay to start straight with Nioh 2 instead of 1? Is it true that game is just as hard as Ninja Gaiden where everything one-shot you?

>>714213403
It's like the job switch from stranger of paradise. Basically samurai style has same old nioh gameplay with some new stuff like perfect blocks, charge up attacks and the ability to do an attack right after a ki pulse. Hitting the switch style button and going into ninja mode has a different equipment loadout you can have. In ninja mode you dont have stances for weapons and it plays a bit more like a standard action game. I think the worry is that there's not enough inputs to have active skill variety in ninja mode and you can't ki pulse. Instead you do perfect dodges which can recover ki and instead of stances you assign ninjutsu skills to r1 triangle, square, cross. Attacking recovers ninjutsu charges, you can even do air combos and generally be faster. Theres a lot more inputs for active skills too with ninja mode using directional input so maybe we'll still see a healthy variety of skills.

>>714213403
>Then what's the difference between these Samurai and Ninja modes exactly? I keep hearing weird contradictory things.
Ninja mode doesn't have stances and ki pulse.

>>714213989
there was a passive trait in the alpha that lets ninja cleanse yokai pools with the quick dodge

>>714214092
Then that's ki pulsing as well because that's an ability in the previous Nioh games. Not having ki pulse isn't as big as a deal some people make it out to be. Kekkai/Barrier talisman purges yokai pools when you walk onto them.

>>714208678
It's $7.50 right now. Just try it.

>>714213592
yes. Not even close to being as difficult.

>>714213592
I don't recall anything one shotting me in ninja gaiden, nor do I recall anything one shotting me in nioh

>>714215042
>nor do I recall anything one shotting me in nioh
Then you're someone who has never played through to end game content.

Ninja mode has "Mist" which still has the same animation canceling property of a ki pulse, just without the ki regain and yokai dispel. In exchange you get a little bit of movement if the stick is held down and you can enable the yokai dispel with a skill. So all you're really missing is the ki restoration and stances but the muscle memory of "do an attack string and hit R1 to cancel recovery" still remains the same so it doesn't feel that off. You can instead "flux" into a ninjutsu instead of a stance using that old flux muscle memory. You've also got more air options and Mist can cancel the air hang time lag as well. I was hesitant about ninja mode at first but by the end of the demo I was enjoying it a lot. I would like to see a few more active inputs for it though. Like let us have a few different strong attack combo enders that change depending on what stage of light it comes after. Ninja mode should be closer to playing Ninja Gaiden while Samurai mode is Nioh, or at least that's how I want to look at it.

>>714215365
Not 1, I finished main campaign and DLC of 1 then moved onto 2 where I dumped 300 hours in, cleared underworld etc

That's the way I see it too, but I doubt we would get the Hayabusa moveset because it would just outclass 1kat completely.

>>714215842
1 kat is kino protag weapon

I might actually use mostly 1kat this time around, especially since ninja mode gets a reverse grip 1kat.

All I need to know is if I should keep searching.

>gear is worthless in nioh2
hope they rework it in 3

>>714215394
Being able to use Mist to disengage and use Ninjutsu for Ki regen, or just Evading for it helps make up for Ki management that might be missing, but Mist should be fully cancellable with Ninjutsu to bring that across. I don't think it will need different strong combo enders based on attack stage provided they actually make use of all the directional inputs they now have access to, but that in itself is something extremely important for them to do. There was already enough inputs for them to have all the skills so now they absolutely have no excuse.

>>714223217
It's never been worthless. But if you're on the first playthrough and think gear will solve your problems better than actually learning how to play then you're wrong.
