>a single studio is responsible for keeping peak action gameplay alive

Have you thanked Team Ninja today?

qrd on TN. why tf did they dick around with ronin and wolong just to go back to these series? was it worth it for them?

>>721091041
Ronin was an experiment to make way for Nioh 3 and to test what did/did not work, anon

>Ninja gaiden 3
>That wuchang clan game
Nah, not feeling it anymore. Nioh 2 was the last one I liked but that one also went downhill compared to the first.

>>721091041
They didn't want to milk it just because.
They learned a lot of things from making the other games after Nioh 2, now they can make an even better 3 rather than just rushing out and milking Nioh immediately for a 3rd game after 2 because it sold well.

>>721090696 (OP)
Thank you team shitja for ending my nioh addiction with the 3. Don't care about Gayden btw.

>>721090696 (OP)
Nioh 3 won't be good. Ninja Gaiden 4 is a Platinum game.

>>721090696 (OP)
These two games are the only reason I got a new gaming pc.
I'd love to see a Stranger of Paradise 2 but I made peace with the fact we'll never get it. NG4 will be a day 1 buy from me. I hope it puts Platinum back on track as well.

>>721091431
Nioh 3 will be good because I played the alpha and it was good.

>>721090696 (OP)
Odachi is a noob weapon.

>>721091041
I don't know about Wolong, but Rise of the Ronin might get a Satsuma Rebellion DLC at some point.

>>721091041
They didn't dick around with Ronin, its combat system is well sculpted like the one in the Nioh's, it's just that the open world is an absolute turd. Overall really feels like a PS2 game with modern combat and ubisoft style open world all strapped together. The effort is very respectable.

>>721093148
So funny seeing animations and enemies from ronin in nioh 3. I really hope they just say fuck it and port the entire katana moveset

>>721093148
The human bosses in Nioh sucked dick (especially in 1), I can't imagine playing a whole game of nothing but human bosses.

>>721093148
I have no idea what's 'ps2' about this game its the most 2014 game ever made, with features taken from whatevers popular this decade

>>721090696 (OP)
>Nioh 3
>open-world/field time wasting nonsense
>kusarigama, tonfa, hatchets and splitstaff lost their weapon stances
>samurai and ninja style split = double the inventory/build management autism
>graphics look bad
>performance suffers because of the open-world/field
Nioh 3 killed the IP for me. Not buying this abomination, maybe I will pirate it at some point.

Pre-ordered Ninja Gaiden 4 Deluxe Edition for 90 euros instead. Money talks.

>>721090696 (OP)
tbf a Team Ninja rep said in a recent interview that NG4's development is entirely done by Platinum

>>721093320
The bosses in ronin were fun af. Night and day compared to nioh human bosses

>>721093442
Pre ordering both. Keep posting your stale pasta

>>721093148

>>721091306
"learned alot of things' like removing stances for half the weapons, and a boring open world, clearly what everyone was asking for

>>721093562
The problem with human bosses in most games is that at least half of their animations are player animations and thus have no tells. Does Ronin address this?

>>721091041
Their leader Yasuda doesn't want to make another Nioh at all. Ronin was his beloved project, and Koei expected it to sell at least 5mil because how could a slopen world parryslop ever fail?
Nioh 3 was an initiative of the new employees and seems to be a Sengoku theme park quickly stitched with the parts of Ronin and Nioh 2.
Wo Long and SoP were cheap side games made to please the investors who want to see a game released at least once per year for some reason.

I for one am looking forward to exploring the war-torn, beautifully demon infested open-ended world of Nioh 3

>>721093343
>I have no idea what's 'ps2' about this game
The story and the quirkiness.
Seeing new NPC's entering the story every 5 seconds, each with their own unique bio, bond unlocks, dialogue, and the fact that the game is obscenely long and has a plethora of stuff most modern developers would consider extremely unconventional signal PS2 to me. It reminds me of old KT games like Kessen 3.

>>721093850
You're describing a 2014 Ubislop game here, all of these things are hallmarks of AC post origins

>>721093695
kek wtf happened in the webm

>>721093695
It copies fromshit and ubislop but adds actually fun combat

>>721093850
>le quirky chungus
>muh story
>muh gay bonds
>muh dialogue
Buy an ad shill

>>721093761
Wolong was expected to sell 2 million copies and was made for the chinese audience specifically, nothing cheap about it and every KT studio releases one game a year, it's their entire business model TN just suck at it.

>>721094025
he saw a w*man and got startled

Is nioh 2 fun? I played a little of it, I bought it but for some reason it was not grabbing me as much as the 1st one.

>>721094361
>no rebuttal, just verbal diarrhea

>>721094771
>t.

>>721094617
Nioh 2 is the greatest melee combat game of all time.

>>721094617
It's the peak of their post ng catalog though all their games are fun

Is Onimusha 1/2 worth getting?

>>721095103
They're fun, a lot of character like dmc1. If you can, get the steam remasters just because controls feel so good.

>>721094021
not really, AC games have few NPC's. RotN has like five trillion unique story NPC's

>>721094361
I'm gonna buy a 1 hour session with your whore mother methinks

>>721094463
>nothing cheap about it
It was obviously rushed as fuck and made by a less competent team. You couldn't use magic because of low morale (magic is supposed to be the main part of the combat), couldn't restock arrows, QoL features of Nioh like equipment comparison and collectathon counters were lost. The game has a glitchy lighting, looks like shit and had awful performance.

I'm a big Team Ninja fan but I'm honestly more excited for NG4 than Nioh 3. Platinum looks like they really are trying to deliver with NG4, while Nioh 3 looks kind of "oh shit we need to shit out a sequel because everything after Nioh 2 flopped"

>>721093761
SoP was more of a commission from SE but it probably also served the purpose of releasing games regularly. It was lower budget but I absolutely loved it and it's shame that we'll never get SoP2. Wo Long was okay but not as good as Nioh.

>>721093723
It should be noted that human boss is different from playerboss. Honda for example is a human boss and Hanzo is a playerboss. Hanzo has player movesets and dodges, Honda is unique and doesn't cheat like Hanzo.

>>721094617
Is breddy gud
>t. 780 hours played
But if you are on PC, I suggest getting a mod that guarantees the skill drops from bosses. I killed a certain boss 70 times before getting his skill before finding the mod.
