So, we all can agree that making a game that you die in one or two hits is the laziest way to make it difficult

>>335720629
>If someone stabs me with no armor, I expect to walk away.
>>335718875
Just don't get hit m8.
>>335720629
>"The hardest difficulty is more realistic!"
>You die in three hits and the enemy dies in thirty
>>335718875
I guess that explains why dark souls is shit.
>>335718875
get better armour m8 and git gud
>>335721508
>baka gaijin against superior fundoshi-bearing nipponese
>>335721508
Get out of low-stance.
>>335718875
OK LISTEN THE FUCK UP OP.
The game isn't unfairly balanced, you're just way underleveled right at the start of the demo. Kicking down the ladder behind the shrine is priority number 1. After that, farm the 4 undead soldiers for XP to gain a few levels that you can put into Body, then put some samurai points into a preferred weapon and stance to get some better damage output.
Game gets way easier.
>>335722443
OP here, That sounds so fucking boring that hurts
>>335722652
Casuls get off my /v/.
Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>335722652
Then just give up and admit defeat.
>>335718875
Is thie true?
Because if it is god knows i getting PS4
DaS3 is still fun and all but 3 was really too easy
>>335722846
People who are already pulling the artificial difficulty card are mostly souls fans it seems.
>>335723018
>souls "fans"
So reddit
That means nothing to me
Show me some sick .webms, people.
>>335723018
But there's just as many people who pulled the artificial difficulty card with souls on every fucking release
>>335723347
>>335718875
What's the point of having enemies hit you if they won't kill you.
>>335723572
>grorious nihon steeru
>>335718875
>blablablabla I'm bad at video games
Ok
>>335722443
Does not matter what lvl. Everything in second level pretty much kills you instantly. I'm 27 getting killed
>>335725898
Because when you choose that level it clearly fucking says "Designed for level 25 or up"
>>335723572
Those back muscles make my heart go dokidoki.
>>335721508
Except for the fact that dudes who wear no armor die in 3-4 hits the same way you do.
NI-OH IS A GOOD DEMO. I ENJOY THE ALPHA MORE THAN THE ENTIRETY OF BLOODBORNE.
Niggas git gud pls.
Don't worry. The game will be much easier by release.
>>335718875
>feudal japanese action game
>white MC
I don't care if he's based on some faggot sailor, its fucking stupid as hell.
Game is a little unbalanced with enemy attack output. I'm not against a difficult game, but it just seems tedious for the sake of it. Not to mention, they throw mobs of enemies at you, while pushing the whole "lol 1v1 only a foolish samurai would take on 3!"
I was hoping for Samurai Ninja Gaiden, not a bootleg souls game.
>>335718875
No its just you taking huge damage bonus from back attacks, you should never freely show your back to the enemy.
Even the Witcher series have that mechanics, and you often see yourself get one-shotted from the back on the highest difficulty.
It would be nice is it was like Bushidi Blade. Everyone dies in 1-2 hits or us crippled, so encounters are challenging. As it I'd, it doesn't feel nice at all. The damage and gameplay Sony match up if that makes sense.
Plus all the tool tips say fight one at a time, but the second encounter is a small mob.
>>335728081
>>335729306
>but the second encounter is a small mob.
The two guys near the start? If you throw a rocket or slowly walk up, you can draw their aggro one at a time.
I found some pink named maul, and i'm wrecking shit
Katanas are pretty weak compared to axe and mauls, you can stagger anything in 1 hit with those
>>335729657
The only impossible one is somewhere behind the house. There is a mob turn his back in you and some loot, you have to turn your camera to see there are three guys hiding left and right behind the wall though. You can draw out that mob easily, but you will always draw those three guys altogether.
>>335718875
The more I played it the more I liked it after I found a decent spear and learned the power of high stance.
That said the things that NEED to change is the fact you gotta grind Elixirs and backing away from an enemy you're locked on means turning your back to him.
I'm enjoying this demo, just beat the boss. Took me a few tries but I finally got his patterns down. The spin is annoying but the second phase is a joke.
>>335721989
This, to be quite honest.
It's pretty clear from the demo that the OG weeb William Adams starts off with a far inferior chinese knock-off katana that hasn't been folded over a million times by superior Nipponese blacksmiths.
Literally the first katana drop you get from the japanese NPCs is streets ahead of your first sword, because they've been made by superior glorious nipponese blacksmiths to be used by Samurai, whom, as we all know, even the mighty Jews fear.

>shoot an arrow towards the guy on the right side, kill him
>look a little wider, but not fully. shoot an arrow towards a guy with his back turned, kill him.
>go to the other side, shoot an arrow at the guy you see, kill him.
>kill the last guy who is dealing with the body
that sure was hard
>>335730191
Heavy weapons are best for dealing with human or small zombie enemies. Those onis have no poise though, so katana is a better weapon for hit n run tactic.
>>335718875
yes
>>335730334
Technically, you can kill most of them without aggroing the whole mob, you just have to find the side entrance.
>>335730607
I just wait for them to attack, do the high stance triangle and dodge back, feels easier
Or maybe im just shit at katanas and conserving stamina
>>335718875
Is there ANY reason not to use the high stance on sword/spears maybe expect parries?
>>335730578
Oh I didn't get the bow on the other side at that moment, headshot did help a lot to thin some numbers. You don't need to go in from that entrance after the second shrine activated.
>>335723572
>Geralt, the early years.
>>335730578
>git gud like I did by having X random item drop for me
>what do you mean you don't have X yet? You should git gud lol
>want to be a dexfag but only axes and maces deal damage to bosses.
>>335718875
Depends on the game really. Playing Rayman legends and you literally die in one or two hits to anything and the challenge if anything is on the easier side of most platformers i've played. Dying in a few hits works well for most platformers in general, but it becomes more and more bullshit the more difficult the game makes it to not get hit and the distance between checkpoints within the game. It can be lazy like in contra.
>>335730770
There is a skill that let you chain high stance attacks, square then follow with a triangle will let you perform a jump attack which makes the target go prone, and you can do this chain all day to stunlock them.
>yfw /v/ will turn to even more worse shit than it already is when Nioh gets released and 1 in 3 threads will be about Niohfags versus Soulsfags and the shitposting will reach critical mass
>>335731138
you get the bow early faglord
>>335731138
The bow is a guaranteed drop, you just gotta find that obvious glowing spot.
There's even a ghostly guy telling you there's something in a shack in the woods.
>>335722443
>The game isn't unfairly balanced
Except when I'm fighting fundoshi wearing bandits and they need a full fucking combo to die from my 288att Axe in High Stance yet I get hit just once in full samurai gear and I'm down to half life.
>>335732196
You are underleveled
>>335732196
>they need a full fucking combo to die from my 288att Axe in High Stance
Literally untrue
>>335732315
I'm level 28 going mostly strength which is at 15. The rest went into body, dexterity and life.
>>335732378
I have an enchanted axe with like dark magic on it or something. They still need a full combo.
It's actually pretty easy
>Run past enemy
>They start a combo
>In Mid-Stance just hit, kick and pulse until red and dead
If you want full easy mode especially for mobs then go Spear
>>335718875
Is that Tom Cruise with a blonde wig?
What's gonna be the "git gud" of Nioh,because one the game comes out threads like this are gonna pop up every 5 fucking minutes.
>havent been even remotely interested in any new videogame in years
>this actually looks like something i would play and be interested in
>will never get to play it
Oh well. Enjoy your game bros.
>>335733830
Something with baka gaijins I bet.
>>335718875
Git gud faggot. I'm so tired of people saying that the demo was hard.
>>335722443
There's a ladder behind the shrine! That changes everything! I can't believe I missed it.
>>335725898
False, I started that mission at level 26, and theres no real difference with the first one in terms of difficulty. Nue is the only hard part.
>>335723018
But I love Souls and the difficulty is fine in Nioh. I don't know why some people are having problems with it.
>>335720629
You can walk away most of the time actually, you just won't survive for long after that.
>>335728663
They don't throw mobs at you at all. You bait shit out and fight one or two at a time at most. This is basic. To do this, you have to carefully go through a level so you don't aggro everything. Use rocks, arrows, bombs, or whatever projectiles you can find.
>>335730334
Sneak around the mountain path and get behind em
>>335722846
The demo is fairly unforgiving with you. The first enemy will kill you within a single combo with no ability to dodge out of it but you can instantly block mid combo to mitigate some damage. Likewise there's an axe "hollow" if you want a shitty DaS comparison who will one shot you but, again, you can sort of instant block it. The later stage enemies don't one shot you with their combos but the pace of the game requires that most enemies be taken in small groups (at most) in a duel like fashion. Most of the first bosses' attacks won't instant kill you (will two shot you) but some of them will one hit KO you and they're just portions of a combo and not some super long wind up attack that you can see coming easily.
The most important thing that's different compared to DaS is that you do need to find a balance of both blocking and dodging out since doing one gets you killed. Enemies also have stamina themselves and
you want to bait them into stamina draining attacks knowing you can attack back and they can't hit you.
Once you know how to properly bait enemies and when to chain stun them it's not as bad but at any given time even the fodder soldiers can just fucking kill you in two hits.
>>335730501
I can't do the second phase. When he runs right for me and slams his palm I can't get away.
>>335731138
Go into the forest path and a spirit will tell you to get his bow from the shack
>>335734396
you have a friend that has a PS4?
>>335733830
git sugoi, baka gaijin.
>>335718875
Putting armor on reduces the damage by alot. Too bad DS3 doesnt follow the same logic though.
Is there a way to quit the mission?
I was trying to do some matchmaking but pressed X on accident
>>335737268
Use one of those branch things, I forget what exactly they're called, they take you back to the mission select.
>>335722443
>the ladder behind the shrine
holy shit I think I'm fuckin blind
wheres the digital guide friends?
