Nioh demo is out.
>*cuts you into thousands of pieces and teleports behind you*
Remember to turn action mode on, to improve the FPS and fill the survey once you've finished it. http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/form/nioh_uk
If Dark Souls 3 feels like shit to you, this one might turn out worth your while.
>>335661857
>nioh_uk
Is there a non-muslim version?
I'll post a couple of webms
POST TIPS PLEASE I fucking suck at this game
>>335662909
Dont touch the glowing red sword mounds. Completely useless mechanic unless you want an ochako for some reason
The graphics fucking suck, this looks worse than dozens of PS3 games.
>>335663545
Though touch the ones with red names.They usually drop good shit.
>>335662909
Learn enemy behaviour.
Put points in your life if you're really bad in the game.
Learn to fight properly with a weapon type and stance before moving on to the next one. I personally prefer middle stance because you get nice parry bonuses.
Looks great, if I get a PS4 this seems like a good pick up.
Ps4 exclusive?
another forgotten game that I'll never play
HOLY SHIT WHY DOES EVERYONE HITS LIKE A MOTHERFUCKING TRUCKGame is fun but I really suck right not, it is not a carbon copy of Dark Souls as many people HERE said
>>335663929But it is
Animations feel ridiculously stiff, I hope they smooth it out before release.
>600p
>you didnt buy a ps4
Seriously how the fuck is 600p ok in 2016
So I just finished the demo. Fucking awesome game. Is there a better weapon than the electric katana that the boss drops? It outdamages even my hammer by 50 points. Tried a couple more runs but other than a pretty good spear nothing new seems to be dropping.
How many weapon types are in the demo?
I heard something about twin swords but I dont know where to get them.
>>335664213
By having the competition be even worse.
i have a hard time pulling off special move but i guess i need to git gud i guess.
>>335664213
by not being true :3
>>335662518
Spears already more viable than in souls.
>>335664539
I finished it. Have only seen Katanas, Spears, Axes, and Hammers. Although I think hammers and axes have the same moveset.
This game looks like shit.
When do enemies not one shot you? I'm wearing full armor and I'm still dying in one to two hits. I feel like it's hard for being hard's sake, not fun and challenging. It seems stupid as all fuck.
>>335664714
dont forget bows.
>>335664715
A-class input. Maybe you should try it.
>>335664814
I don't own a PS4 and this game didn't convince me to buy one.
Run the game at 30 fps at 1080p or 60fps at 720p. The game looks cool, as in the combat. But it looks worse than Dark Souls 1.
>>335664787
Try using equipment and investing in Life points.
>enemy raises arms to attack
>chance!
>hit him twice but he doesn't flinch
>kills me
Fug.
Pretty good for an alpha. I feel like all they need to do is fix moving and targeting and its near ready to ship.
>>335664715
It is shit. Poor controls, poor FPS and bad combat.
Alpha and all that, but these are things that need to be hammered out early in development.
>spears
>suppose to be good on crowed control
>cant stagger for shits.
>>335664810
Right. And bows. Unarmoured headshots hit like a fucking truck.
>>335664787
Put some points into health. The beginning of the game is by far the hardest part because you have awful damage reduction. Make sure not to get hit in the back because back hits will always end you (in the second level I got hit for 1700 damage.
If you're dodging make sure to be in low stance, if you're blocking make sure to be in middle stance. Get really good at the ki bursts (after a combo your stamina bar will turn blue and rapidly fill, if you hit R1 or change stances your stamina will be regen'd instantly to the end of the blue bar).
Beyond that learn the moveset of each stance. Learn to punish enemies when they're low on stamina.
>>335661857
Can you parry in Nioh?
>>335665094
>>335665141
>people are falling for the alpha meme
So what's a good all around build for when the full release comes out? Was thinking Skill/Body with some points in magic for the talisman buffs.
>>335665426
yes, unfortunately it doesnt pave way for ripostes. Just getting behind your enemy
>>335665358
Axe/Hammer is the best for crowd control. Spin2win
>>335665426
Yes, but the parries are mostly to put you in a favourable position, as opposed to dealing ridiculous damage. Except for the bare handed parry, which is essentially an insta kill.
>>335661857
how do you turn action mode on?
>>335661857
This game is incredibly bad. Lke, I actually didn't think something this bad could be created.
>>335665039
each stance has a unique perk.
high stance is that when swinging a heavy in it you will be immune to stagger from light hits(which is most probably what the enemy did to you)
mid stance has the least stamina consumption when blocking.
low stance has the stamina recovery mechanic activation on the evades and rolls too not just on r1
>>335665545
yeah, i learned that later.
>>335665548
It's a setting you access from the main menu
>>335665613
So if I see the enemy is gonna swing down on me, I should block or get the fuck out the way.
>>335665418
>Unarmoured headshots hit like a fucking truck.
Like they should.
I was positively surprised bows were actually viable.
>>335662315
how do you do it? guarding at the fright moment?
>>335661857
Can you switch the controls to make it x to interact and circle to roll?
>>335661857
>Completed the game
>Tried downloading DLC
>It bugs out
>Can't get back to the DLC screen again
My life is suffering.
>>335665585
Amazing input, faggot.
>>335665510
but it does pave way. they just dont tell you. buy the parry from the tree that is activated by triangle in block. after you successfully parry with this one press triangle again right away and you will stab your sword in their necks
>>335665901
Kill yourself, nigger.
>>335664047
it's combat is literally completely different
>>335665832
It's a mid-stance perk. You have to unlock it.
>>335665843
I think you can.
>>335665939
no u.
>>335664047
HOLY SHIT you can roll????? possible dark souls reference????
My only gripes with the game are those crawling fucks and grab attacks. Grab attacks because they have never, ever felt right in any sort of action game (Ninja Gaiden, Dark Souls, e.t.c.); they just feel dumb and the antithesis of the what the game is actually about. Thankfully they aren't 1 hit kills in Nioh.
The crawler enemies because they don't really fit with the game and they're massive cunts. Both of their grab attacks have fucking insane hyperarmour and have priority over every other action in the game it seems. I've been hit out of mid dodge for christ sakes by one of those cunts. Also they have stupidly huge range and accuracy with those firebombs.
>>335664708
Spears are the best weapons in both games and you clearly haven't used the dragonslayer spear in das3 it's op
I really, really want to like it... but I don't. The gore and samurai aesthetic is great but the difficulty is so far up its own ass that you can tell they just wanted to say "LOOK AT US, WE'RE WAY MORE DIFFICULT THAN DARK SOULS! BUY OUR GAME AND PRETEND TO BE SCARED/ANGRY ON YOUTUBE AND TWITCH SO WE DON'T HAVE TO PAY MARKETERS!" and yet it's not even a legitimate challenge, it's just absurd one hit deaths over and over. I don't even care about the graphics despite how outdated they are, but just holy shit what a disappointment. With a huge tweak to the damage values and stamina, as well as better level design and enemy placement, this could actually be really fun. Probably far too late for that though and they probably aren't interested in any input that compromises their "vision" of trying to outdo Dark Souls.
>>335665776
you either just dodge/roll and make them waste stamina then wail on them. or parry the swing and wail on them
>>335664924
typical pc cuck always has shit taste
>>335665852
Check the main menu
>>335666182
how do you parry?
>>335665956
>>335666034
I bet you think Lords of the Fallen isnt a souls clone either
Fash-Nioh! Post weeaboos!
>>335666136
Well their games had always been harder than Souls even before souls was created.
>>335666096
>My only gripes with the game are those crawling fucks and grab attacks.
Goddamn this. Those dudes were fucking dick in every regard.
>>335666280
I just want to wear the Youngblood armor the whole game, but i'd die at my first mistake
>>335661857
So are katanas actually good or are spears and axes better in every way?
>>335666357
They're the dogs/crows of this game
>>335665982
any idea on how? it won't let me in the controls menu
So I beat the boat-boss and decided I wanted to go back and explore the rest of the first level. How the fuck do I get back to the level select screen now though? Do I have to completely redo the first level to get back to it?
>>335666136
no. the damage values need to stay as is or the game will be ruined. the game punishes you if you play it like you are playing darksouls and rewards you for respecting the game and learning it. toning down damage values will make it viable for you to just play it the way you play other games and it will be ruined imho
>>335666349
Doesn't work here, it's not Ninja Gaiden and does not have the same fluidity or speed as that. It's a game that is trying to be Dark Souls, and therefore the comparison is valid and obvious.
>>335666261
The dream is alive!
>>335666442
Oh, I just presumed that was the case when I was flicking around this the title screen menu.
>>335666274
your fucking retarded that's a stupid comparison nioh isn't a souls clone in any way
>>335666096
>>335666357
The crawl faggots only fall down when their stamina drops to zero. You can take distance and wait for them to stand back up again.
This seemed like a good tactic to me.
>>335666270
first press the touch pad. go to the skill learning menu and learn the one that says triangle on block. now when you are holding block and you press triangle, you will do a brief animatiom with your sword. if the enemy attack lands on you during this animation you will parry it
So how long is the alpha?
The camera when locking on really fuck in bugs me. Instead of panning with your character, you still free run like a retard. Fun ass game though, spears are great.
Stupid question: How the fuck do I use bows and throw ninja stars and shit?
>>335666280
Just got done with Nue. Man I hope we get more fancy weapons like Rakiri. If only I wasn't such a stat whore I'd be wearing one of the bamboo hats.
The 1st boss is fucking insane. The timing for dodging his ball and chains is bullshit due to the half dash you do before the roll.
>>335666136
Damage is perfectly reasonable.
Why should you be able to take two slashes from the greatest sword to ever grace the Earth, the Katana, when you're wearing a shirt?
It was MADE for cutting down unarmored peasants.
Once you get armor, only axes are a threat.
>>335666627
I just went High Stance and bodied them, but sometimes their grabs just say fuck you
>>335666357
The worst part is they're very difficult to see and they always have one lying on the ground right beside every yakoi or whatever the notOni are called. I've literally been 3/4 through the swing animation with the high stance axe heavy attack and have been grabbed out of instantly by one of those shits that was in the path of the axe.
Also what the fuck is going on with captcha and its 'multiple correct solutions required please try more' bullshit. I miss old captcha.
>>335666634
Haven't finished it in 4 hours yet.
>>335666716
Is that a dual katana?
>>335666634
Pretty fucking long, I sat down for seven hours playing it but didn't beat the second boss.
>>335666724
Stay close to him while circle strafing and blocking. You can get easy hits until the second phase. After that, you need to time your dodges correctly whenever he goes to pick up one of the balls to throw. The balls can't be blocked, but the chain that connects to them can be.
>>335666706
Bows: equip and hold L2 to aim, R2 to fire.
Headshot kills most mobs in one shot. It's so satisfying.
>>335666552
Okay anon
>>335666634
Two levels. The first one is slightly bigger since it's a small island village. The second level has more yokai encounters and feature the worst enemy type in the game: ninja.
>>335666706
the lock on is for camera only. if you want to force you char to keep facing an enemy then hold down block and move while blocking.
equip a bow and arrows and you aim with l2 and fire with r2. ninja stuff you buy the skills to use them then put them on your dpad shortcut and use them like items
>>335666634
I beat it in about six or so hours. Most of that time will be spent in the first level learning how to not get bodied by everything else in the game. Second level seemed a lot smaller and probably only took about an hour. That was taking my time and exploring every nook and cranny of both maps too.
>>335666828
>dual katana?
Unfortunately not, it's just a katana and it's sheathe. It's the one you get from the second level. Well can get, I'm not sure how exact getting Rakiri is.
>>335666761
Turn on legacy captcha in settings.
>>335666854
Nice, thanks.
>>335666879
The ninjas weren't that bad. They did barely any stamina damage while mid stance blocking and were easy as fuck to parry. Unless you were primarily using axes or hammers then I understand your pain.
>>335666706
Ninjitsu and spells have to be attuned at a shrine
Then you equip them on the quickbar
Really wish there were more than three item slots since one is always gonna be elixir
Normal Shuriken are pretty much just better Stones, but Flame Shuriken kick ass, very useful
>>335667080
Mid stance is the best stance.
>>335666629
only for katans or can spears do it to?
>>335667080
I just got ambushed several times and am a little mad. Heavy stance axe makes quick work of them.
>>335667195
Spears, katanas, and bare fist
Bare fist does the most damage but Spear parry has the most utility, Katana parry just gets you behind the enemy
>>335665545
>as opposed to dealing ridiculous damage
>backside damage buff isn't ridiculous damage
>>335667331
Spear master race
>>335667405
It's only really 1.5x damage. The bare handed parry is what I'd call ridiculous damage.
>>335662909
don't get stamina penalty, and ki pulse
>>335667195
i still have not seen any parry move in the spear tree. i am dumping all my points in the swords tree. i can tell you for sure that the initial skills to learn for spear have no parries. beyond that i do not know yet. we may have parries for spear since learning skills unlocks new skills to learn. spear parry may be deep if it exists
so spear and katana or spear and axe? which is the better setup?
>>335665039
good poise actually matters for once
>>335667514
2 kat.
Kitana and then whatever you find preferable. I kinda wish the axe's low stance had a better finisher.
>>335667514
they are all useful. spears and axes destroy crowds. katanas i found most effective on samurais and ninjas
>>335666096
luckily the damage from the grab is nothing, just poison
>>335667640
Katanas are also pretty good on the oni/larger enemies.
How to defeat the boat demon once he decides fuck it and starts throwing his balls at you?
>>335667923
low stance.
How do I join someone elses game?
once you git gud at parrying the normal enemies become a lot easier
>>335668027
What just fuckin attack in low stance?
Can you invade another world as a dark spirit?
All my shit is broken and I'm out of whetstones, what do
What is the point of those red sword things? I assume they're where other players died or something, but why does it look like you can summon them to fight? Also, fighting more than one enemy at a time is impossible.
>>335668324
How to parry? Just block being real tricky?
>>335668398
Fight with your fists
>>335668398
Farm mobs for weapons.
Use the imp blessing bonus if you have that one yet.
>>335661857
Thought that was fucked up Witcher art at first.
>>335668473
It's a skill you have to buy for spears
>Nue
>>335661857
Everyone should be telling them that there needs to be more item shortcut slots. L3 isn't used at all so they should've made that weapon switch instead.
>>335667923
that's the easy part
>>335664708
I'm actually still using my starting spear from the herald and it's pretty fun
>>335668213
Please somebody! Anybody!
>>335668610
He does look pretty much exactly like Geralt. You start the game even wearing something very similar to Geralt's basic outfit without armor.
>>335661857
How the fuck do I beat the first boss??
His ball and chain attacks have a ranom one shot me move with NO tell according my shit skills
help me
>>335668390
the way i killed him is never attack. just move around and attack only after his jump attack. otherwise keep your distance and you kill him easy like this
>>335666552
Literal map design, combat and movement controls, even fucking texture design. This is a Chinese Dark Souls clone plain and simple and the first three webms shine this clear and bright as the fucking Sun. A part time modder could have done better to hide this obvious train wreck.
>>335668795
>>335668213
Second this, how do I get summoned?
>>335668961
When you finish the first level, you can select matchmaking for either of the two levels in the demo.
>shit breaks halfway through a single run of an area, making you farm for repair items which is boring dull pointless and dumb
>stances are just a wasted mechanic when you can stun lock any basic enemy with any stance and the bosses are quick enough to make doing anything but running in for a single quick swipe and then running away a totally improbable strategy, thus making all the stances in that case functionally identical
>Has a super move that charges over a long period of time but lasts like three seconds once you actually use it, subsequently making it a total waste to use on basic enemies that you can easily kill without it
>Except you also drop it when you die, so it's not even like you could continue to charge it between deaths while you kill enemies on your way back to the boss you just died to, again, making it pointless
>Game wants you to buy your way into skill trees governing specific types of weapons, yet also expects you to be switching weapon types all the time anyway since that favorite weapon of yours will break in two fucking minutes anyway
>Dodging even on low stance feels totally ineffectual unless you dodge backwards completely away from any attack- at no point do you feel the confidence to dodge through an attack and continue fighting both because the actual move is so finnicky on if you're going to take damage, and more important because any attack turns into a combo and takes out 2/3 of your healthbar, making you not want to experiment at all
>your experimenting is further punished by the health item grinding, repair item grinding, and the bizarre act of dropping your super move when you die
>the game fully expects you to use cheap, unfun, enemy-pulling tactics to fight them 1-on-1 because fighting multiple enemies is so ridiculously imbalanced; your options are either to already have a crowd control weapon equipped beforehand, or sprint until they leash
inb4 git gud. it's just not that good.
>>335665039
High stance means they can't be staggered dummy
If they raise their arms go for a dodge and they will lose a fuckton of ki then for a finish stab with triangle
>>335669019
Where is this at? I'm at the level selection screen and there is no option for joining, and the shrines themselves don't allow me to do anything but summon visitors.
>>335669156
Highlight the level and push square.
>>335668795
after finishing the level you can get into matchmaking on the map select screen. but it is all random. no way now to join specific people/friends
>those fucking yokai zombies
>the forces of the underworld and bandits team up to kill you
This is retarded, why do the bandits ignore the fucking demons?
I like the descriptions for some of the weapons
>>335668660
Nue's easy pz. Just get your spirit to ten and have Raiken. The lightning drops go in a series of three after the initial one so just walk away. Having Kekkai talismans are also pretty useful since he's underworld zones: the boss.
>>335669226
I'm so god damned dumb and blind because I completely missed it. I didn't realize the option was at the bottom of the selected level. Thanks buddy.
>>335669489
How big is the download lads?
>>335669697
>Trying out Ninjitsu
>Shurikens are meh, just essentially rocks
>Flame Shurikens are literally explosive death, melting the heavy enemies in pretty much just one
>Leveling it up further gives you exponentially more, because the second upgrade can be equipped with the first giving you 7
>The 3rd level will be 5, meaning you could have 13
Jesus, and the best part is you still get sword levels too so you're not completely gimped when you're out. Seems like the scaling is either bad for them or bugged though, since it seems to hit for the same regardless.
>>335669797
>ni-oh can either run at 1080/30 or 720/60
>the PS4 is officially as powerful as the Wii U
No wonder why Nioh and the PS4 Neo have a similar name.
>>335669536
What's Raiken?
uhhh excuse me but I asked
HOW BIG IS THE FUCKING DOWNLOAD?
>>335669935
probably one of the guardian spirits you can choose from
>>335666274
You can see the NG influence in the game from the webms alone.
The presentation is similar to a Souls game, but the combat looks like NG3 with more weight.
>>335668446
you summon them to fight and it's also where they died
>>335670028
Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word.
>>335670103
please
>>335670136
It's like 3.7gb.
Game could be decent, but only after some serious rebalancing for stamina, damage, weapon and armor condition, etc. Basically, just skew the numbers to somewhere more reasonable because it's just broken and annoying as is.
>>335669935
One of the guardian spirits, the last one if I'm right.
>>335670028
It's 3.4 gbs it's taking fucking forever for me
>>335666136
/thread
only full autists would want to learn so many new patterns for a fucking demo of a fucking japshit dev
I'll stick with what I know: Dark Souls
>>335669148
the stances are an amazing mechanic. managing and maximizing your stamina. always dodge in low. always block in mid. stances also provide you with the tools you need to deal with crowds instead of pulling 1 by 1 which you can still do. grinding is never an issue and experimenting is not punished at all quite the contrary. i kept finding myself overflooded with gear that i will not use and i just kept offering them and foind that i am always full on elixirs glue and whetstones.
the spirit super mode is for you to use strategically for perfect opportunities for immense burst. no need for ut to last long. example that debunks both your spirit and stances complaints: fighting first boss. get into high stance to have access to vertical hits. hit his horns. they will break and he gets stunned. go spirit saiyan and rape him.
All your text shows that you did not really play it, just watched it and shitposting.
and if you did play it then you sound like you refuse to learn the game
>>335666136
>>335670403
Get armor you faggots and learn to block, every block in the game guards all damage even your fists.
>>335661857
I really liked it. After I beat the boss on the ship is turned it off to reflect.
I think the Diablo/Borderlands loot system works well and helps seperate it from souls. The game was challenging but fair. Every death was my fault. The skill-tree was a cool addition. I really enjoy being able to fight other player's ghost via their bloodstain.
The only things I would change so far. Either give more elixirs or make them easier to find. 3 just isn't enough considering how much they heal.
Gear breaks WAY too quickly. It doesn't make the game more challenging, just annoying. I don't want to spend time grinding gear after getting beat up by a boss too many times. I didn't see a way to repair my gear other than my weapons via whetstones. And those are still very limited.
Hopefully the full game has character creation
>>335670438
Do breaking the horns on the normal Oni enemies do anything?
>>335668893
How does low stance help here?
>>335666738
>game is actually somewhat accurate historically
>>335670682
Bee stings and paper cuts, with a greater ability to dodge and get away from him.
>>335670551
no idea. never tried it on the normal ones. but i think it is a boss mechanic and not possible with normal one. just an assumption though i may be wrong
>>335670438
>grinding is never an issue
could've fooled me you daft cunt, seeing as the game is making me use progressively shittier weapons because it won't give me a fucking whetstone, making it harder and harder to fight the fucking boss when I'm using a basic shitty spear instead of my baller-ass axe.
Go suck Team Ninja's cock some more though. Everything they do is perfect and their alpha demo doesn't have any flaws. You're totally right. Yep, they should release the full game now because it's not like they have anything to improve on. It's not like the entire fucking point of the demo was to get feedback you stupid bitch.
>>335670761
It's possible. When I was going through Nue's level and got over to Oni central, I cut off an axe oni's horns. I didn't see much change in his behavior though. It's definitely very peculiar to aim for so it might not do anything to regular oni.
When you use those red sword things to fight "revenants" is that summoning actual players in or just an AI ghost of them?
>>335670941
Ai ghosts, unless it's a dev ghost then it's still an AI but it's more like an npc ghost.
>>335670229
>>335670061
Well, that was good advice. I beat him without too much trouble once I figured out how to avoid his lightning.
>>335670941
They're summoned way too fast to be real. It makes it even more aggravating when the computer mocks me when I die.
>>335670941
i thought they where real at first
>>335671070
Yeah the lighting's deceptively easy when you get a hang of it. Now baiting him into tumbling to show his tummy is harder.
How the hell do I use skills? I bought Heaven Flash and it says to press forward and X at the end of a combo but when I do he just dodges around like normal.
>>335670941
It's an AI-controlled avatar of that player that mimicks their fighting style and wears the equipment the player died wearing. Any stuff you get off a revenant is something that player had.
>tfw fine with playing on movie mode
Yeah, it sucks, but I really can't stand playing an HD game like this at a low resolution, especially since I can't play it on a CRT.
>>335671278
Same time, if it's the low stance katana ender then he'll run up an enemy and drop down if you pull it off. It's much easier on the bigger yokai.
which is the best guardian spirit also which stats are best to level?
first frame rate test.

seems fire is the major FPS killer.
>>335671486
>best guardian
Isonade or Kato, though Shark is best if you have 12 spirit. Your stats depend on your weapons, same with some of the more specialized armor.
>>335671317
It makes no sense why they couldn't make movie mode be 60 fps. Memes aside, the ps4 has run much better looking games at higher framerates.
>>335671557
Yeah, far and away the worst drops in the demo were around the burning village area near the docks.
>>335671350
Thanks. I also figured out that it seems to work more often if I hold X instead of tapping it once.
>never played any Souls game
>not having trouble with this demo
What the fuck? I stayed away from the Souls games because I don't exactly enjoy too punishing games but if they are easier than this then should I try them?
Or is /v/ just fucking horrible at vidya?
Music rip when?
>>335671668
Both, it's both.
>>335671668
Souls games are maybe a little easier on the whole than Nioh, but /v/ are largely Godawful at videogames, especially for the amount of time they put into them
>>335670545
>I didn't see a way to repair my gear other than my weapons via whetstones.
Nikawa Glue repairs all equipped armour. Don't know how you considered them rare, I was always carrying 9 of both. As soon as I had to use one enemies would drop more to replace them near instantly.
>That area in the burned village on the roof where a demon and TWO other human faggots team up to kill you
LITERALLY
FUCKING
IMPOSSIBLEHELP ME
>>335671834
>not sniping the humans for ez damage and then just lmaoing at the yokai
For real though, bows are great.
>>335671646
I mean, it IS only a demo.
>>335671929
>Using ranged weapons
Other tip that dosn't involve being a faggot?
>>335671956
git gud
What if the reason weapons are so fragile is because breaking enemy weapons will be a mechanic later on?
>>335671956
stop being you
>>335671956
Hit them until they die
>>335672019
You can already break enemy armour.
>>335672019
Or what if the reason weapons are so fragile is because actual Japanese weapons were fucking fragile as shit
Man I was really hoping I would like this game.
The combat and stances are interesting, but the first boss just isnt fun, and shit breaks way too quickly.
The level design isnt very good either.
Hopefully the final product is much different because it really does have a lot of potential.
>>335672115
So then we've been lied to all this time about the katana and its superior ability? I don't think I can accept that.
>>335671780
Thanks for the info. I stand by what I say about how fast gear degrades being annoying though.
So these Ochoko's are for summoning other players I guess? How do you get summoned? Or maybe its not even implemented yet.
>>335671775
Is there a lot of backtracking in Souls?
When is someone gonna post the locations of the little fuckers to send to the shrine
8/9 on the missions screen is like a massive middle finger
>>335669790
5 Gigs or so.
Do you get anything for finding all the kodama? I missed one in the first stage.
>>335671956
You're the one who cried about shit being impossible.
>>335672214
Yes anime has lied to you
>>335672201
>but the first boss just isnt fun
>Which means i am fucking shit and i cant git gud
Its Demon Souls all over again.
See you in 5 years worshipping Ni-OH 6
>>335672234
Not often, the game has tons of shortcuts you unlock as you go.
>>335672256
Same, I KNOW where the last one is, but I don't know how to reach it. It's just sitting in that mountainous foresty area near the shrine. it looks like you need to drop down from a higher ledge but I never found a path towards it.
Just a heads up
katana means japanese sword in nipponese
>>335672319
>Not finding a boss fun means I cant beat it
Nice
>>335672356
No, nihon-to does.
Yes, that triggered me
>>335669887
It'll become the norm. The whole point is that if you buy a Neo, you'll be able to play at 1080/60.
Watch it.
>>335671956
Trygitting gud.
>Ki isn't some magic shit instead its stamina
>levelling stamina dosn't level stamina
>instead heart does
Like.
What the fuck?
Just beat the chimera. Felt really good destroying it with mid stance katana and ki pulses. Staying to the left of it seemed to work the best. Only really dangerous attack was the lightning from above.
Overall great demo and I'm still really looking foward to this. I really wish they got rid of the random loot system though. I just keep acquiring so much shit and its a pain to keep on selling and switching out stuff. Weapons and armor are something that they should've actually took from Souls.
>>335672347
You talking about the one next to the shrine after the bow shed right? Just walk to the right after surprise axe man tries to attack you and there's a drop down right there.
>>335672201
Yeah, agreed, there's a good game somewhere in this but it's definitely not there. If it releases this fall, there's no way it changes enough to become that either. Shame.
Beat the demo earlier. Took a little to get used to, but once I did it was a lot of fun. One thing I don't get it the complaint about weapon durability that everyone seems to be complaining about. Is it because you all block all the time? I pretty much never used guard unless it was against a boss, and I pretty much solely used a katana the entire time. I never really had to use a whetstone, except for maybe 2-3 times, but by that time I already had 9 of them. The only thing that was rough was fighting more then 2 enemies, but even then utilizing parrying and backdashes it's really not that hard. Can't wait to play the full game and see the different locations and weapons to get. Enjoyed it a lot more then I thought I would.
Where the fuck do I have to go for the first boss?
I activated 3 shrines and the only part I haven't completely explored is when you have to dash through the flames in the village.
Do I have to continue through the flames?
How the fuck do I kill the Oni guarding the shortcut to the shrine in the temple?
He seems the same kind of oni as the first level boss whom I killed on the firt try, but this one is wrecking me.
>>335672797
Yes you must carry on through the fire and flames.
It's the big boat in the background.
how to farm ochoco cups?
>>335672497
You need to have a strong heart in order to fight to the death for the glory of Nippon
>tfw onimusha souls is brutalizing me and I love it
It's pretty fun. Only played for an hour or so but I've enjoyed it a lot so far.
>>335669489
>>335669697
>>335669797
>>335669879
Are all of the equipment descriptions this cool?
What does "summon visitor" do in the shrine? I thought this game didn't have any summoning system other than fighting AI phantoms.
>>335663929
It's realistic! I was surprised when the first enemy one shoted my level 20 with a throat slash.
>>335672912
blood mound things
>>335672950
there is coop.
>>335672816
The door shortcut for the start or the one that need a key?
>>335672837
How do I get good at fighting groups?
If there's more than two enemies I will probably die to them.
>>335663929
It doesn't copy everything from Souls (the stances and loot systems are the most different things) but there are so many other mechanics that are lifted pretty directly from Souls.
>>335673023
the one at the start, I manged to open it without killing the oni, then the oni killed me and now the fog is there I've done about 15 tries can't fucking down it even at half his health.
>>335661857
>die from 2-3 hits
>killing enemy takes 6-7 hits
>stamina drain punished too hard
>controls are clunky
>if lock camera on enemy and go back char will turn instead backstep facing the enemy
>camera is bad overall
>enemies will follow you forever
>also they are patrolling area so they can attack you from behind when you fighting another foes
>it works awful considering your health
>quckstep take too many stamina
>block usually take nothing, incouraging standing
in block and waiting enemy spend his stamina hitting air
>fighting more than one enemy is too hard so you forced to cheese and kite
>too many useless loot making you inventory garbage can but must carry fuckton of weapons cuz they break
Can any veterans of the demo give me some basic tips on how to fucking play this game.
Because I feel like I barely understand the combat especially ki
>>335673084
Mid stance and spears or axes, learn how to pull effectively and fuck people up quickly. Damas help as well.
Quick, post your William!
>>335673084
Don't fight groups unless you have great weapons, the game even warns you of this; just run away and separate them.
>>335673130
Low stance until it does its punches. It's a one eyed one right or just a regular yokai?
>>335663545
>Parry them once
>Win
Barehanded is a bit OP in that respect. Good for grinding co-op cups that you'll never use because using co-op makes the game harder.
>>335673149
Not him but how the hell do you separate people? I got caught up with 3 enemies and ran around the whole level like a fucking benny hill episode.
>>335673084
You have to utilize backdash a lot. I struggled at first but as I continued I learned how to better deal with them. Utilize parry when one charges ahead of the pack, and maybe open him up a bit then get off him cause the others will hit you. Utilize the ki burst to restore ki quickly so you dont get stuck. Basically just keep moving and utilize parries, if you have a spear that works well too for taking on groups. Just pick them off with what I said, and take your time don't over commit to a single opponent even if their health is low. Also try not to turn your back on the others since you take more damage.
>>335672939
Only a few weapons have cool little stories for their descriptions the rest have generic descriptions like "this is a hammer made of bronze" or "this is a katana made in X village"
>>335673148
I should take these in movie mode or whatever it's called.
>>335673230
You have to run pretty far, try using cliffs and buildings to break line of sight; if all else fails, just high stance heavy swing lesser enemies that outrun the veterans.
>>335673279
Horizontal swipes from axes/hammers also work well for crowd control.
How the fuck do you repair?
>>335673279
Ki burst?
