Thread 720141535

This webm summarizes the game perfectly. You can be on top of a fight, but as soon as you make a single mistake you die instantly. What were they thinking?.

so don't make mistakes?

always knew water benders were fucking horseshit

just seems like discount fromsoft

>>720142376
It's like fromsoft but fun to play

This is really one of the greatest games ever and its difficulty is why. You can just stop whenever you're ready, you get a complete experience of nearly 100% of all content. You can stop in Samurai or go all the way to literal hell.

>>720142393
it's mid

>>720142480
But enough about fromsoft, this is a nioh thread

I like Nioh's combat but everything else is just so fucking unremarkable
Weapon feedback is mediocre, ost is unnoticeable, art direction is okay, level design ranges from dogshit to decent.
They're enjoyable games to play but they don't leave a lasting impression

>>720142990
Combat is all that matters. I don't play arpgs because the ost and art direction is peak when gameplay is mediocre at best.

I'm playing through the game for the first time and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. For bosses is this a play defensively until it's my turn while maybe throwing in a few projectiles kind of game? Do I figure out what yokai abilities and extra moves from weapons I can use to dodge an attack and still hit them? Should I be using items a lot more?

>>720141535 (OP)
>>720142230
The Alpha Demo Feedback Report by Team Ninja confirmed that:

1. The boring, time-wasting, meaningless open-world is here to stay.
2. The dumbed down Ninja Style not having Weapon Stances and locking around 50% of the previous weapons to Ninja Style is here to stay.
3. The dumbed down, casualized and much more passive Humanoid enemy AI is here to stay.

Nioh 3 will be a time-wasting open-world slop, soulless, casualized, dumbed down, downgrade of Nioh 1 and Nioh 2. Don't bother coping and saying "b-but it isn't open-world, it is open-field xDDD", both open-world and open-field waste your time with meaningless emptyness between actual gameplay and content.

I might buy the "complete edition" of Nioh 3 when it is on a 50%+ sale in the far future, but I am not purchasing this game anymore on launch.

RIP Nioh IP.
RIP Team Ninja.

>>720143264
>waaah its dumbed down
No it isn't, serve your pasta elsewhere fag

>>720141535 (OP)
>>720142230
It wasn't enough that Nioh 3 will have a time wasting boring open-world.
It wasn't enough that Nioh 3 will remove a lot of gameplay and build variety by having 30-40% of the weapons LOCKED to "Ninja Style", while "Ninja Style" doesn't have Weapon Stances for those weapons.
It wasn't enough that Nioh 3 will have dumbed down humanoid AI who are now much more passive in fights in which you are 1v2+ vs them and don't really attack you.

Team Ninja confirmed that they want to casualize and dumb down Nioh 3 more:
- Adjust gimmicks and enemies that were unreasonably difficult.
- Make the motions for using Elixirs faster.
- Make highly requested adjustments while maintaining the tension of encounters with formidable enemies. (they are lying here, highly requested means dumbing it down, tension won't be maintained, it will be reduced)
- Make adjustments to the performance of some overpowered enemies.
- Reduce the HP for some overpowered enemies.
- Reduce the target tracking abilities of enemies to make it possible to flee from them.
- Improve replayability by making it possible for players to fully recover from Life Corrosion when their Guardian Spirits return to their side.
- Make it possible to recover from Life Corrosion by using Elixirs via the effects of Jizo Blessings.
- Decrease the speed of Scampusses just after they have moved.

I am not buying this dumbed down and casualized Nioh 3, Team Ninja has sold out.

>>720143125
The game gives you all these options and encourages you to experiment. Do what you want. I advise being aggressive and learning how yokai and human bosses work

>>720141535 (OP)

>>720143367
>I am not buying this dumbed down and casualized Nioh 3
Don't worry, I will. Keep crying

>>720143109
It's a complete package, Nioh has like 9/10 combat and 4 or 5/10 everything else
I'd rather settle for a consistent 7/10

>>720143496
>look at me eating shit! hah! are you mad yet?

Let's say I have an accessory that has Reflect Projectile (Timely Guard), but it's one of my weakest defense accessories. Is there a way I can transfer that skill onto an accessory with higher defense?

>>720143572
>seething so hard you shit up every thread with your stale pasta
Keep up the good work for free lmao

>>720143610
If it has a transfer icon. It won't.

>>720143610
No, that skill is exclusive to yata mirror.

>>720143397
The main issue I'm running into right now is stamina because I'm blocking a lot but I guess I should be changing to low stance more to mix in dodging. I am being pretty aggressive but I kinda lose myself in that aggression sometimes and get killed.
Also for yokai counters am I supposed to time it with when it's about to hit me or like once they flash and get ready to do the attack?

>>720141535 (OP)
It is the result of the current parasitic cult that has latched onto games. The cult that shames people for asking for lower difficulty in games. You have to have your balls kicked every second of gameplay otherwise they can't feel like they accomplish anything in life.

>>720143753
>>720143772
Dang it, okay thanks.

>>720143367
You're clearly not an ogNiohbro.
Sad.

>>720143982
You could maybe temper a luck drop accessory on to the weak thing and pray the rng gods of yomi

>>720143857
For stamina learn flux 1 and flux 2. This, along with some other mechanics, incentivises constant stance switching to access all your skills and to regain stamina to keep up pressure.
The yokai counters depend on what guardian spirit you have. For example brute you can just counter as soon as you see the red mist around an enemy. The brute interrupts with his counter. The phantom should be activated the exact moment the enemy attack connected with you and the feral is a dodge where their attack should connect with your after images. The colour of the guardian spirit icon (red purple or blue) next to your health indicates which type of yokai your spirit belongs to and therefore which counter timing to use

>>720144142
Very helpful thanks anon

>>720141535 (OP)
Is that the bitch from DoA? I never beat Hyabusa in Nioh 1, maybe I should go back and do that.

>the game lets you utterly dominate bosses and drain them of ki
>somehow, I believe, the best course of action is to have the weakest armor possible, incredibly low fucking health so much that I can get one shot by basic moves

Surely, Team Ninja need to add some sort of 'easy mode'

>>720143857
Make sure your toughness is high enough. It correlates to how much ki you lose on block.

>>720142184
He lost health right before that, I can't see what was hitting him before the water splash

>>720143857
>>720144142
The real issue people face with stamina is not that they don’t regain enough of it, but that the stamina cost of many attacks is incredibly high early on and that people don’t yet have enough experience to judge whether it’s safe to attack or not. It means that you can do a simple combo, like high stance fast attack into twin moons for example, which consumes about 70% of your ki bar, get hit during that, be put into fatigued state, grabbed and killed. The best advice to avoid it is not to empty your ki bar unless you are absolutely sure that you won’t get hit. Stick with the attacks that have faster recovery are less ki hungry.

>>720145006
Sacred water and the auto purification talisman I think help a lot early game for ki but it's been a while since I played

>>720145215
I should really use my Sacred Waters more. I have hoard of shit I never use. How many item tabs do you guys use? I only use two, one for my Elixirs and Jutsus, and one for my Onmyo shit.

>>720141535 (OP)
Not only is that the special endgame area you unlock after going through 5 difficulty modes, you have several stackable defensive options specifically to allow single mistakes which work even at that point.
>>720144542
The water is what hit him. It just got interrupted because he hit her at the exact same time in a near-DSP level act, making it hard to see.

>>720144374
>Team Ninja need to add some sort of 'easy mode'
They probably will in Nioh 3 or tone down the overall difficulty and make it piss easy by default.

>>720145006
That's the game's way of showing you the value of mid and low stance attacks, the latter in particular being extremely safe and low cost. It's also where the enemy's Ki comes in, heavier attacks are intended to be used when you've created the opening via depleting their Ki.
>>720145215
Sacred Water is often forgotten and can be quite convenient but Barrier Talismans auto purifying Yokai Realms prevent you from getting the valuable buffs and Anima those provide, making them worse overall. Flux regardless is important to learn not just for Ki recovery but for animation cancelling and safety.

Anyone got that video of the guy prebuffing for like a solid minute only to get instantly fucked by Benkei?

>>720141535 (OP)
nothin personnel tryhards

>>720141535 (OP)
Should I play the first one first or do I just play the second one?

>>720147241
Nioh 2 is a better game but it doesn't have a difficulty curve. If anything it has a difficulty valley. It expects you to be a pro at Nioh 1 and gets easier.

>>720147241
The second one is better in almost every way but has more mechanics and things to enjoy learning. The first is still a fantastic game in its own right but doesn't have quite as many QoL options and can feel both easier and rougher to get a grasp on early on since it has less mechanics and takes more time introducing them. You can't go wrong either way and it's just a matter of how much time you want to spend enjoying the series as a whole.

>>720141535 (OP)
>but as soon as you make a single mistake you die instantly
It applies to enemies as well.

>>720144040
>They made Nioh 1 easier too after demo so that makes it okay!

>>720144374
>Surely, Team Ninja need to add some sort of 'easy mode'
They are dumbing down Nioh 3 dramatically, it will already be easy, but I hope they add difficulty options, the franchise is already ruined and raped with the changes Nioh 3 made, might aswell go all out and make it the casual dogshit it so desperately wants to be.

Hard to tell if it'd be worse if they were being paid or if they're actually doing it for free.

What did we think about the IGN boss fight trailer?

Looks kino to me.

I love rainbow vomit particle effect visuals.

>>720151483
You don't even know what that means

>>720151409
The boss fight itself and everything about the game looks great including the new info of things they said they'd add like 4 weapons, but the guy playing it was utterly awful and they should have gotten someone that actually knows how to play the game.

>>720141535 (OP)
>one of my webms used to start a shitpost thread
ma i'm famous
for a better explanation, you are genuinely NEVER supposed to be anywhere near nyotengu or doing big damage dump moves on her because she does moves instantly that will kill you if you're nearby, the whole fight you basically just take your punishes and back off unless you're completely airtight. I was overextending here because she was both out of ki and almost dead (notice how I didn't even ki pulse the dual hawks) but it was just funny how the water got me without a real animation as she was staggered as planned by the attack but the hitbox came out anyway
honestly her parry should make people more mad even though it is technically dodgeable
also yeah stone of penance +9 and all that
