So I'm guessing these "red phantoms" everywhere are just peoples' bloodstains? That's neat. You can fight them.

This.

Oh. What's the time limit about? Does it have an online component? How many hours does it take to clear?

The boss is incomplete and the model is not synced well with the hitboxes. Its still doable.

>>335634361
Yep, there's co-op and touching bloodstains of other players allow you to fight AI-controlled revenants of that player for a chance to get some of the equipment that player died in.

It seems to be taking most people between 4 and 6 hours to do, depending on how good they are and how thoroughly they explore.

Basically. Right down to the gold phantoms and everything.

You need to clear at least the first stage before you can be summoned, though. And bear in mind it quadruples bosses' HP pool or something crazy like that if you have another person.

When voting tell them to lower the health of enemies. Also to decrease the stamina needed for attacks.

Didn't really have it on my radar, but kept it on the list since the PS4 trailer. And now i'm actually excited, won't be one of the best or most polished games ever, but probably a hidden gem of this generation

Super hyped if they keep the difficulty and add real pvp.
>>
>>335635165
I'm really excited for it! It manages to channel all of its influences really well, but still feel like its own animal. It's a bit rough in places and needs a little balancing, but it has the potential to be something legitimately really special.

>>335635185
Just take your time and when encountered with more than one enemy at a time, play conservatively and whittle them down a little at a time. And stamina management is FAR more vital than in Souls, so don't go into it expecting to be able to play like the Good Hunter or the Champion of Ash.

>>335635227
He's based on William Adams, a real-life explorer and Anglican missionary who went to Japan in the early 1600s and became the first ever white samurai. He still remains a cult hero in Japan 400 years after his death, so lots of fiction is based on him.

>>335635826
It defaulted to that
>>
>>335635567
Because it's a Japanese game for a Japanese Audience with a well-known historical white-samurai.

That's like complaining Jackie Chan isn't white when he plays a character in a Hollywood film.

>>335635546
Not yet, I want to see the beta to know what features are in. 3 weapons x 3 stance isn't enough and I think it will hit at most 1-2 weapons judging by the empty spaces in skill management.
>>
>>335635674
By accepting that it's an early build, that you can change the framerate and the fact that my eyes donÄt start to bleed when i play games below 60fps

>>335635865
Actually, the second level of the game says that it takes place in 1600.
>>
>>335635546
no I ll just buy it like I wanted to do it anyways. I barely pre-order. The game is fucking glorious though. Just killed final boss for 3rd time and in 1 minute 10 seconds getting hit once I think. Once you git gud its actually a little too easy right now.

Several of the hand out weapons and armor in the demo have +X% to item drop rate. You can also get the little green guys to add a constant increase to drp rate.

No westerners but this is a Japanese game for a Japanese audience who wants to play as an actual historical first English Samurai. Please fucking google William Adams and find out what you are talking about.

Real-life William Adams was an Englishman, whereas William in Nioh is Eurasian.

No, the real guy isn't half japanese, the guy in the game is.

Also just because the real guy got the title of samurai it doesn't mean he was particularly skilled with the Katana in any way.

Yeah, but the stats of the weapons don't matter too much unless it's a big increase. In the first stage you can pretty much use any weapon.

Not sure how I missed that, thanks pal.
>>
>>335637315
no easy mode is already the default, see here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6NEPWELCus
got hit exactly once because I rolled in the wrong direction. You can stunlock the final boss of the demo and /v/ is full of DSP tier casual scrubs. You can do the same with pontiff and nameless king in ds3 actually though.
>>
Hmmm, I wish weapons and armor didn't break so often. I've only come across a couple of whetstones and a single thing of glue.
>>
>>335637301
You need to buy the parry skill, it's not there by default.

L1+ Sqaure/Triangle but you need to buy the skill for that first.

>>335637326

The game looks kinda 'meh', though. I guess I wouldn't even download it after all, even if I had a PS4. I'll stick with DaS 3, katana run should be fun.
>>
>>335637509
Same with Abyss Watchers and many other bosses that /v/ claims are hard

I keep thinking is Souls and trying to dodge after you get hit even though I know it doesn't fucking work. Fuck.
>>
>>335637523
I have both maxed out at 9 each and you get new better gear faster than your old can get wrecked. Try dodging more often and dying less and equip some item find gear.

Sell your trash items at the shrine (You can bulk sell items below a certain rarity level that you set). You get random items mainly being: healing items, whetstones and glue

How do I go back to the mission select screen? I accidentally chose Mission 1 again after beating the boss.
Don't tell me I have to sprint through that fucking map and beat him again.
>>
Can you customize character? or am i stuck being asian geralt
>>
Theres an attack bonus for hitting from behind right?
>>
>>335637790
you can use an item to get back to the select screen but you need to have that item first. Not sure if you got it already, I think I received it in the 2nd level.
>>
>>335637845
The protagonist is a set character so you're stuck as him.
>>
>>335637903
yeah something like double dmg. Applies to you and enemies. The game even shows it to you via bold printed dmg numbers.
>>
>>335637903
Yeah, it's fucking huge too. If you use nippon folded steel, make sure to get the parry that puts you behind the enemy. It lets you kill pretty much anything in one combo.
>>
The demo was better than all of dark souls 3, good job fromsoft
>>
looks like shit.dont think ill d/l
>>
>>335637903
Yes, around x2 damage. That makes the Square parry really powerful.
>>
>>335637845
No, except for equipment. Which is good i think, maybe the character won't be a mute guy without any story
>>
>>335636060

Is dark souls not a samurai game? Then why do all these invaders I kill use only katanas?
>>
When you put points into things like dex and strength does the weapon it affect give you extra damage in purple? I'm not sure if Its that or one of my passives.
>>
I've been stuck on boat boss for hours, died at least 150 times.

Maybe I'm just shit but I die in 2 hits.

If it was on PC I could cheat, but I won't buy a game I can't progress in.
>>
>>335638090
Dark Souls is a "Knights using katanas even though it looks retarded" game.
>>
>>335637845
Yeah, I wonder why they Last Samurai'd this game
>>
Just beat it. I play a lot of action games, Ninja Gaiden DMC etc so it didn't give me that much trouble. I killed boat oni my 4th try I think and nue my 5th.

It's a fairly challenging game though, I died a bunch early on pulling more than an enemy or two. I also dumped stats into dumb shit, once I started putting them where my weapon wanted them to go I started fucking stuff up pretty quickly.

Overall solid game looking forward to the release, I really hope they don't tone it down because some people have shitty hand eye coordination.

So do we brag about this to PCucks or not?

>>335638127
The trick is that he's WAAAAAAAAAAAY easier in his second phase. Just play extremely passively in the first phase so you don't get hit at all, and then go balls out on the second phase where he doesn't have his stupid ball spin attack.

Not yet, demo is good but its unpolished as far as graphics go, they'll shitpost you down about how it looks like an Atari game or something.

Well shit I'm at a loss then. Maybe I switched katanas and forgot or something.

The spirit animal summon things definitely are overpowered as fuck, you can pretty much shit on a boss once activate as long as you don't get hit.

idort here, its better than ds3 and closer to onimusha and ninja gaiden. oh wait you wouldn't know about these even though you could emulate them, my bad. Feels good not being a poor shitposter.

Makes sense

I did it, I fucking did it.

Took two lightning charms and every mildly resistant lightning piece I had, but I fucking did it.

I still think that boss is bullshit. Fucking amount of damage it does, goddamn. Was doing fine lightly armoured up till then.

On a side note, spam Ki Pulses whenever you stagger a bitch because they're not getting up anytime soon.
>>
>people saying this is better than DaS3

Alright I hate PCucks too.. but seriously?
>>
>>335638412
you cannot get hit as the boss is out of stamina and stunlocked. You can beat him the same way without though, just takes longer as you will not have unlimited stamina.
>>
>>335638454
Fuck off, it's clear that YOU are the PCuck, and are trying to false flag to make the peaceful videogame loving Sony fanbase look bad.

We LOVE our PC friends, and are sad that they won't get the game on their platform of choice.

Can you guys just not make a big deal about the difficulty?

They are cancer. They killed the souls series. Hopefully they won't ruin the Nioh series either.

no buffing. It is not that hard if you can dodge.
>>
>>335638412
You still need to break his stamina or you can't stunlock him. I think each boss has a gimmick to instant breaking it like smacking Nue in the head as he charges his lightning. It's more of a finisher than a free combo to activate at any time.

I can't even kill the double katana fat guys so maybe the game isn't for me

My first impressions were that the game doesn't explain the mechanics very well at first. And that I noticed the insane difficulty at first.
I quit for the moment. But I'm planning on getting back. I really liked the game.

I'm not a parry guy but more of a wait for attack + dodge + attack. Which stance is best for this? High stance?
>>
>>335638606
Do a combo and look at your KI gauge, part of it turns red and slowly fills up again, you can press R1 at any time to get back that amount of KI. Don't press it too late though otherwise the red part of the Ki will be gone. You can also look at the particle effects around you, press R1 right before they form that circle around you
>>
>>335638167
I was surprised when I died in one hit at the start with no armor, but yeah I think the level of difficulty is just right in the demo. Really hope they don't listen to the casuals crying about it.
>>
>>335636462
On the Xbox you just need to change the country to have access to other stores. How comes you can't do the same on the PS4?
>>
>>335638970
The game doesnt explain anything just like dark and demons didnt. Its just the way these games are and its retarded
>>
>>335638970
>attack + dodge + attack

High stance with an attack.
>>
>>335635165

I was unimpressed with the game when I saw footage of it several months ago.

After playing the demo though I'm really looking forward to it. It's very fun and challenging.
>>
I'm level 11, just wandering around killing farmer dudes and bandits, then heading back to the Shrine and leveling up.
I opened the ladder shortcut, and got to an area with a bunch of bandits and a Samurai.

Where's the boss, what level should I be to fight him?

If the devs don't make it less difficult, I'll honestly be surprised.
>>
>>335638970
any stance works for this. I would stick to middle standard stance with katanas, those are the easiest imho. also >>335639102
is wrong. There is a tutorial, an ingame handbook and tooltips as well. Just have to have use your fucking eyes.
>>
>>335639102
Just press buttons and read the shit in the menus also corpses tell you a lot of stuff

>Where's the boss, what level should I be to fight him?
End of the level, you should not worry about level, but about your skill and understanding of the mechanics. Seriously, abuse backstabs damage and your guardian gauge.

I keep fucking forgetting to use the guardian guage even though it's clearly meant to be used on Oni's and bosses.
>>
>>335639191
Pretty much how every forum works
>>
They better not make this easier
>>
>>335638970
low stance would be best I think
>>
>>335639167
>where's the boss
On the coast. If you haven't gotten into the burning village, you'll need to beat the Yoki inside the house to do so.

>what level
Level really doesn't matter in this game, it changes fuck all.

Just the gear you get from the burning village and you'll do fine.
>>
>>335638970
High Stance = Big HP/Stamina damage + Big stamina consumption. Worst dodge, don't think can dodge out of attack

Middile Stance= Balance attack and evasion, Best blocks with most of the parrysa and can dodge out of attacks for a small cost

Low Stance = Lowest damage but has the best dodge and attacks the fastest, good for hit and run. Can dodge out of attacks for free.

Remember to press R1 after every combo to get back some stamina and never run out of stamina, there's no stamina debt and you are very vulnerable when in the Red.
>>
>>335639282
you can wreck all but the standard oni in 2 fire shurikens. Funny enough the basic slow oni takes 4-5 shurikens instead. But he is fucking slow though.
>>
>>335639191
It's team Ninja, the ones who make the Tutorial boss harder when people complained about it.
>>
>>335639363
>you can wreck all but the standard oni in 2 fire shurikens

I haven't put any points into shuriken. Fug
>>
>>335639298
Level does matter but skill is much more important. Although with good gear it gets a lot easier. I doubt that you would 2 shot kill enemies in 2nd level with starter gear. But you can 2 shot kill them with good gear though.
>>
>>335639191
I think the difficulty is fair so far. Haven't had enough time to get to the boss, but I got to the second shrine and all my deaths are me being a goof. I wouldn't even bother going to another forum because they'd just make up some bullshit for why its hard like that comment about them making it hard so the players couldn't get the free dlc at the end.
>>
>>335639290
Yeah, I don't even know why I visit that place anymore. It's just a huge circlejerk. Anyone who doesn't agree with the majority gets downvoted. But for this game I'm seeing this everywhere. Even on news site comment section, people complaining about it being too hard and too souls-like.

>>335639404
I hope so.
>>
>>335639282
>Guardian Guage

W-what's that?

Does this save or do I have to beat it in one go?

Is ninja gaiden as hard as this?

>>335639507
It saves.

>>335639491
The circle in the upper left, press triangle + circle when it's filled up ad go nuts
>>
>>335639416
Basic shurikens is just for baiting or finishing off, fire shuriken does like 80+550 dmg + 57 burn dmg per tick and ticks like 40 times or so.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6lU81YotxA fire shuriken is seriously OP
>>
I just want to be able to strafe on lock on jesus. Makes the gameplay kind of annoying without it.
>>
>>335639535
From what I remember? Fucking no. You didn't die in two hits in Ninja Gaiden.
>>
>>335639491
Equip a guardian spirit at the shrine, and press Circle+Triangle for HUGE DAMAGE

Y-y-you just don't get it, anon. It's all a ploy by the devs. They don't want us to give that free DLC so they made the demo artificial difficulty.
>>

Then do your part and fill the survey
>>
>>335639282
>>335639298
Is there a dedicated parry button?

Also, and apologies for the comparison, but is there an actual strafe lock on, like Dark Souls? So I can pull back the left stick or move right or left and have my character still stay looking at the enemy, rather than running around while the camera focuses on them?
>>
>>335639535
a lot harder. Like 5-10 times harder imho.
>>
>>335639630
MASSIVE DAMAGE?

>>335639291
We both know they will. They want to have sales after all.

Spear and Katana(Folded one million times btw) can parry by pressing buttons while blocking. You have to buy those skills first though.

>>335639676
COLOSSAL DAMAGE
>>
>>335639652
press L1 to block and then hit square or triangle at the right time to parry. IF you have the skill unlocked.
>>
>>335639652
Game has a bunch of different parrys. I get one for blocking last second I also have one on square and one on triangle that do different things.

The combat is really fucking fun.
>>
>>335639652
No, but you can immediately turn to the target by pressing R1 or Guard.
>>
>>335639698
They will just offer different difficulty modes. Did you never play ninja gaiden you scrub?
