The souls killer
With that awful gameplay?
Haha, nope.
>fusion-ha onimusha and ninja gaiden
better than anything Fromtshit ever made. Souls is garbage.
Just beat the first boss. Game is hot garbage.
>>335740809
Should've began with a different topic.
Is parrying even worth it with katana's? It just seems more efficient to dodge/teleport instead.I'm only at the first boss.
>>335740809
Is this gonna be the next new neber eber ebin meme?
>>335741198
Yeah they can be since it gets you at their back if it's the square parry.
Cue 300 posts of Souls shitters complaining about the game when their argument essentially boils down to "game is too hard, where are my unlimited I-frames and insta-win backstab?"
This game made me feel like i was bad from gaming a feeling i have missed for a long time souls is just to easy

but i want to talk about nioh. and also i recently had a discussion with a souls fan who couldn't stop spouting literal shit, like how much better the stamina system in souls is or whatever.
>soulsbabbys can't handle ninja gaiden difficulty
what a shock
Onimusha >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Nioh
I wish they'd change the loot in this game. I would rather have meaningfull random drops than having 2 billion of them.
Hey guys i just got that new sword in Nioh. Tell me what you think!

c'mon, anon
they made gaijin protag for the people like you
>>335741507
Just offer the shit at shrines for all the elixirs you can carry.
Nioh is to souls what toukiden is to monhun. More Japanese, and still fun, but ultimately poorer copies
>>335741382
Don't feel too bad, I can't parry as well so I just get good dancing between low and high. On the upside your weapons don't break nearly as fast.
I finished the demo today, cant wait for this shit to get released
too bad it has no date yet
Who /MarkOfTheConqueror/ ?
>>335740809
Don't even start this OP. Both are good and realistically, a lot of people who like Souls, Onimusha, and action games in general will obviously be interested in Nioh as well. After playing the demo, Nioh is definitely more of it's own thing but some design choices do look inspired from Demons Souls. No FromSoft didn't invent everything they did in their games but the inspiration is pretty apparent.
>>335741413
Why would anyone be mad about a blatant Souls ripoff with terrible animations like those?
>>335740809
>only on Jewstation 4.1.0
>looks like a last gen game
>ridding the Soulsmeme popularity
Pass.
>>335741632
i disagree. it's more akin to soul sacrifice to monhun.
Good enough to stand on its own but quickly forgotten because people are fags

lel what? that's not even hard. You can beat boat oni with your eyes closed if you just use your fucking living weapon
>>335741630
Yeah but that's the problem. It's unnecessary micromanagement to filter out stuff you want to keep from all the garbage you loot and then having to offer the garbage. The loot feels kinda diablo-ish. I haven't tested it yet but if bosses would respawn that might even mean that you rerun the same levels to grind the bosses for loot and stuff. It just feels wierd in a game like this.

wow. i have no words.
>>335741720
why are you on /v/ at all since you obviously only want to shit on every videogame thread
>>335741710
heavily inspired from souls, i'll admit. for the better though, this game i can actually play. souls was boring me, for whatever reason. which is a shame because the premise was amazing when i first saw demons' souls. even imported the gook version
>>335740809
>absurdly high hit stun
>builds are non-existent because weapons come and go
>armor also suffers the same problem
>mission based
>worse combat than Bushido Blade
>better than Souls
The designs look great. I'd say the PVP, if it has it, will be better than Souls PVP though, I'll give it that. Bows are also way better in Nioh.
>>335741793
I'm a scrub who couldn't figure out how to use living weapon or ki burst.
>>335741950
i'd argue that the builds will be more centered around weapon TYPE rather than the weapon itself. Then again there's also a familiarity rating on the weapon screen that never goes up int he demo, which makes me believe you can increase the power of something if you really like it. Though that's just a theory. Same with armor of course.
My logic is basically the more familiar you are with something, the better you are at it...so it stands to reason that it'd somehow increase damage. Alternatively it's just by weapon TYPE, so the more familiar you are with weapon types, the more skills you unlock.
I fucking love this game. The more I learn the easier and more fun it gets. At first I was dodging every attack and getting killed because I thought that even if I blocked I would get damaged but it turns out blocking is like having a 100% physical dmg reduction shield from DaS.
>see axe fag
>axes consume a lot of stamina
>literally all I do is block until he gets tired and I finish him off
Enemies having their own fatigue system is so cool.
>>335739529
After the Portuguese first made contact with Japan in 1543, a large scale slave trade developed in which Portuguese purchased Japanese as slaves in Japan and sold them to various locations overseas, including Portugal itself, throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.[3][4] Many documents mention the large slave trade along with protests against the enslavement of Japanese. Japanese slaves are believed to be the first of their nation to end up in Europe, and the Portuguese purchased large numbers of Japanese slave girls to bring to Portugal for sexual purposes, as noted by the Church[citation needed]in 1555. Sebastian of Portugal feared that this was having a negative effect on Catholic proselytization since the slave trade in Japanese was growing to massive proportions, so he commanded that it be banned in 1571.[5][6]
Japanese slave women were even sold as concubines to black African crewmembers, along with their European counterrparts serving on Portuguese ships trading in Japan, mentioned by Luis Cerqueira, a Portuguese Jesuit, in a 1598 document.[7] Japanese slaves were brought by the Portuguese to Macau, where some of them not only ended up being enslaved to Portuguese, but as slaves to other slaves, with the Portuguese owning Malay and African slaves, who in turn owned Japanese slaves of their own.[8][9]
>boat oni round 2
>every time you get near him he does a 360 degree swipe
okay then, that's not really hard, it surprised me, but now it just takes fucking 20 minutes because I can hit him exactly once before he does an unblockable swipe. that's lame. First time was too easy, but this is just boring.
>>335742378
>using a triangle attack
>not a square
Anon come on. Also christ you have reach just tickle his chin with the point and you can kill him.
>>335742190
>familiarity
Okay, you may be right about builds of certain weapon types. I actually forgot that was even a thing.
Hopefully the full game has more skills, though. You could easily get a decent amount of skills for all the weapon types by level 14. I found myself just using any type I got my hands on, and I didn't feel like one was better than any other because of skills I've unlocked.
As little magic choices as there are, I'm almost certain the full release will have more.
It's the game souls katanafags always dreamed of.
>>335740809
I don't have a PS4. Is Nioh harder than the Souls games or is it all a meme?
>>335742667
The demo is way harder.
>>335742442
>tfw no cute japanese slave
>>335742667
About the same difficulty. It takes a little getting used to though.
>>335742667
It's different. Enemies have more reach / are faster and blocking seems to way to go. There are also a shit ton of enemies and if you walk 5 meters without looking around you they'll gang up with 5 faggots to bash your head in.
>>335742626
Axes are master race.
>>335742558
even at lvl 40 you cannot learn everything and have to specialize. The full game will definately have more skills and weapon types with even more skills and more magic shit as well. Plus a smith and a shop etc. Very hyped myself after the goat demo.
>>335742667
It's probably reaching meme status since the memers were expecting a Souls learning curve instead of it's own learning curve. No idea why though, it's not like it's a souls game.
>>335742530
First time I fought him he was really hard. Then I discovered you can block that ball chain spin and the fight got stupidly easy.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPunE4UzNqA
>>335740809
Game is pretty neat but it's stupid to lock all the basic moves behind level ups
>high-stance spear
>long range and high damage
>access to a quick 5 hit combo that insta-kills enemies that can be stunlocked
>enemies that can't be stunned can be dealt with by slapping and dodging with a huge margin for error
>scales off of fucking body, so you naturally build up health while tunneling damage damage
>relatively low requirements means you can pump stam for heavy armor if you need it
>long, high damaging combo makes the most out of sloth talisman
They better nerf it.
>>335742551
But I wanted to do the cool cinematic finisher.
Can someone make a new thread that doesn't begin with flamebait? Also, I finally beat the ninja oni and knocked over the second tree. I can see two mistclouds and three oni in the back of the area. What do?
Who Sharkspear here?
>>335742896
i'm talking phase 2 in the second go-around, after the balls are off, any time I try to get near him, front or back, to do some damage he IMMEDIATELY stops what he's doing mid-animation and does a turn-around swipe. Hits the full 360, and it's so fast that if you swing you'll be hit, can't block or backstep.
It's really just silly cause it just makes the fight a drawn out mess.
>>335743019
Yeah you could've done square to ki-break him and then do the grapple.
>>335743036
Be careful.
>>335743014
>not stance dancing
There's a reason why some people shouldn't pursue spear.
>>335740809
Game's a bag of wet dog shit, I played a couple souls games and they were mediocre to me, not really my genre but at least they were playable, I'd rather slam my hand in a car door than play any more of this. I'm just assuming most people in here that claim to like it are just baiting.
>>335742865
>smith
So good to know, my biggest complaint was not being able to repair my stuff without whetstones/glue. It really made my time with the game less enjoyable.
>>335743083
Phase 2 was so much easier though. Use your living weapon in that phase.
>>335743168
High stance also gets a skill that damages and knocks back enemies if you stance in/out of it, or even just ki pulse.
>>335740809
You're not a casual low stance pleb are ya?
>>335742896
Is Shark the best guardian? He looks overpowered.
>>335743221
I have both glue and stones maxed out at 9 each before the first boss. Try not tanking everything and die less, problem solved.
>>335740809
gameplays alright but my god is it ugly and aliased to hell.
>>335743228
Like I said, it's not about it being hard, it's the swipe. If I go in living weapon, I can't charge up a triangle, he hits me out of the burst attack, which leaves me with regular attacks which he still hits me out of, and knocks down the time immensely.
seriously go run through the first stage again, it's retarded.
Is there a way to switch between spells and magic quickly? Or is it only 3 slots for everything? Like the game so far.
>>335741950
>it's okay when DeS does it
I'm decent at souls games and bloodborne, but for some reason I can not get past the first 5-6 mobs in Nioh, how the fuck do I get good
>>335743285
yes you can solo the final boss in the demo in 1 minute with it without being hit.
>>335740809
I love how ps4 game scans are always 4k and then actually run at 900p
>>335743285
What even makes them different? Don't all of them just give you a weapon buff and a healthbar?
>>335743273
Anon if you're gonna call out plebs, at least say mid stance users.
>>335743285
Shark seems to have the most utility next to Kato.
>>335742378
hopefully onimusha block nullifies weapon degredation
>>335743397
souls games are piss easy, you memelord. This game isn't that hard either actually. You just have to practice and keep your equipment load under 70%. But when you try to show off or imply that you are good with soulsborne games then you probably will not git gud anyways.
why does he look like gerald
>>335743397
Blocking is better than dodging and use ki pulse
>>335743397
Block more and watch their stamina bar.
>>335741978
What are these things you speak of?
>>335741413
>"discuss"
>point out flaw
>"umad? lmao"
>>335743483
They have various benefits if you look at them. Kato is pretty all purposes and helps your Ki. Isonade gives you radar and Health per kill if your spirit's high enough. The Hawk increases your drop rate chance and lowers evasion cost.
Raiken is like a more specific Kato.
>My game betr then ur gam xD
>game u like sux lmao prov me rong
Great thread.
People can't possibly like both things right? You fucking infant.
>>335743483
How can you be so wrong? They last twice as long or short, let you take more or less hits before being done with the mode. They have various stats or dmg buffs from 0-20%. They have various amounts of stamina that you get back for hitting enemies. And so on. You can level them up in the full game too once its out.
>>335740809
Dark Souls > Demons Souls > Dark Souls 3 > Dark Souls 2 > Nioh > Bloodborne
Ninja Gaiden Black > Ninja Gaiden 2 > Ninja Gaiden 3 RE > Nioh
>>335742667
The more you play it, the easier it gets.
>>335742667
Poor man's Bloodborne
>>335743380
Does what?
Demon's Souls is easily the worst Souls game, I'll shit on it all day too.
>>335743325
Alternatively, there could be a better way to repair, which it seems there will be in the full game.
>>335743672
So like the Souls games?
>>335743653
Oh great, passive bonuses. Now I'll have to hit the boss only 20 times instead of 21.
>>335743662
>still angry over BB being ps4 exclusive
kek
>>335743662
you can't even compare Nioh to Dark Souls, they're entirely different animals with one or two similarities
>>335743778
Wow, I wasn't aware it was possible to have such shit taste, but congratulations you proved that wrong today.
>People are loving nioh
>People still don't think Lords of Fallen was a good dark souls game
I hate you guys, it's literally okay only when Japan does it . Fucking weebs
>>335741663
yep
>>335743806
Pretty much. The game has different mechanics that are not explained well so people are mad as hell. Once you get used to it its easy. First time I tried the demo it took me 2 hours to get to the second checkpoint. I started a new game today and I finished the first level with only 2 deaths. Feels good and reminds me of when I played Souls for the first time.
>>335743836
you are retarded, kiddo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6NEPWELCus
Please tell me how a radar is a passive bonus. Or how having extra ki is a passive bonus. Or how having unlimited stamina for one full minute is a passive bonus. I guess they are all the same and you are unable to do basic math. 20% of 20 is not 1. you fucking dimwit.
>>335741978
is it just me or didn't they explain properly what ki burst does?
>>335743924Japan makes dark souls
>>335743836
There is a guardian with a radar that is extremely useful.
>>335743924
lotf is 0/10. nioh is 9.5/10. git gud son.
>>335744054
you and the rest of modern gaymurs are retarded, sorry pal.
>>335743986Is the game worth getting a PS4 for?
>>335743913
If you think DeS is better than DS1, 2, or 3 from a gameplay perspective there's actually no hope for you.
>>335740809
I think if they fixed the camera and buffed up the katanas damage a little it will be a great game. I really like the bow
>>335744035
>Please tell me how a radar is a passive bonus. Or how having extra ki is a passive bonus. Or how having unlimited stamina for one full minute is a passive bonus
But they're all passive.
>>335744173
Neo
>>335740809
Is the demo out in NA yet?
>>335744173
If you loved onimusha then yes. If you want to get other nice stuff like BB while you are at it, yes as well. If you hate everything exclusive there is for ps4 and will die to the first enemy 20 times in ni-oh and then quit it forever then you will be disappointed.
>>335744173
Is never worth it to buy a new console for just 1 game. I bought a PS4 because there are like 10 I want to play.
>>335743613
living weapon: summon guardian animal and get elemental buff for your weapon etc.
ki burst: after combo press r1 to to focus. Gives you your stamina back way faster than waiting for it to refill would.
>>335743273
took from google. i'm an all stance, all weapon patrician. watch your tongue or i'll ram it up someones asshole.
>>335743442
i honestly never got the graphic complaints. i get that it's not as pretty as other games out htere, but for me personally it's not jarring or anything like that. Maybe you're just spoiled from years of having full hd or something?
>>335743615
>i-it's shit!
fantastic review sperglord
Either way, who'd take the opinion of a person with only one platform to play seriously? I don't.
>>335744293
yeah
>>335744054
pretty sure it was a tool tip you picked up
>>335744190
DES>=DS2>DS1>=DS3
The gameplay was better, in both DeS and DS2 than the shitfest DS1 was.
Nioh is pretty much in par with DeS for me from the demo.
>>335744228
I think your brain is passive. How about you try to at least make good shit posts you bumbling retard?
>>335744370
The only flaw I see with the stamina is that you shouldn't go into full blown asthma attack from running. Stamina should still go down, but when you run and it hits 0 you should start walking like souls.
>>335744054
The game does mention ki-burst and ki-recharge but it does it so poorly.
>Starting a thread by antagonizing people
Great idea. I'm sure you'll get some quality discussion you sperg.
>>335744228
They only activate when you use your guardian, they are actives.
>>335744515
If you want to play souls, you should play souls. Asking every game to rip off everything from souls and then cry how its a rip-off is fucking retarded. Stop the tumblr shit and go make your own game if you cannot git gud. Holy shit, neo /v/ is fucking cancer. How about you try to sprint like a madman for 200 meters in 80 pounds of armour?
>>335740809
So this game is for the souls hipsters. Got it.
>>335744535
it's ok when souls does it
>If your ghost kills many people it starts to glow gold letting everyone know he will fuck you up if you summon him.
>>335744121
>modern gamer
mom said you have to do your homework before you talk to your internet "friends".
>>335744717
Calm the fuck down man, I like both games. You can like a game and point out things that could be better, especially considering your enemies don't have the same standards and CAN run forever without their stamina shrinking.
>>335744634
Radar's passive, everything in the middle of it's section is passive. The bottom is active.
isn't it basically souls tho
>>335744173
Fuck no.
If it was Ninja Gaiden level good then yeah I'd say it's worth it but it's not even close assuming the demo is close to the actual game.
>>335744937
In the way soul sacrifice is basically monhun
>>335744957
But it plays nothing like Ninja Gaiden.
>>335744734
It's basically the 2nd rate MonHun ripoffs that came out on the Vita except this is a Souls ripoff.
>>335744819
>Being this butthurt over being called out on being a casual scrub.
I am old enough to have played ZacMcKraken, Betrayal of Krondor, Ur-Quan masters and so on. How about you get some ointment for your sore ass and stop trying to project this hard you twerp?
>>335744887
Enemies get stunlocked and run out of stamina after 1 combo more or less. If you wear light armour you can sprint for days in ni-oh.
>>335744442
all i remember is something about "use ki burst to focus on the battle and keep the combo going"
at first i thought it would just allow you to switch between stances to keep the attacks going. took me an hour to realize that you get more stamina back that way.
>>335745028
When did I say it did?
I mentioned Ninja Gaiden because it was made by the same company.
>same ui
>same currency
>heavy attacks and light attacks
>hard difficulty
>roll to avoid
>parries
tell me why I shouldn't just play Souls instead which has higher production values, atmosphere, graphics and better camera
>>335745059>>335744819
Betrayal at Krondor* stupid auto-shit.
>>335744805
So is there an option to Seppuku to essentially put your 'sign' down
>>335744515
on one hand i agree, on the other i find that it's a refreshing take on it. when you're out of stamina, you're really out. and it makes it especially important to take care it doesn't run out. that and the fact that you can use ki pulse to get some back makes it all workable and well done imo. In contrast, i've never really liked how souls can let you just roll like a motherfucker everytime you need to with no kickback for doing so (that i know of)
>>335745059
but i beat the demo in one go. wasn't as hard as you and all the other casual on /v/ make it sound like.
if you try you can beat the demo too anon.
>>335742551
>PLAY THE WAY I WANT YOU TO PLAY
>>335745059
True enough about the armor weight, but that doesn't really change that running shouldn't give you the same negatives as doing combos when it hits 0
>>335745175
There is a Harakiri Sword you can use to kill yourself.
People keep asking how to level. Just look at your weapon scaling and put stats on that. Is almost exactly like Dark Souls but it has way way more stats its overwhelming.
>>335745158
play Souls instead, no one gives a shit and no one will try to convince you to play this game
>>335745194
I already beat the demo 5 times you retard. See >>335744035
here is my vid. Feel free to post yours. Nobody ever said the game is hard except modern gaymurs like you. Stop projecting so hard you dumb kid.
>>335745183
I absolutely agree with attacking and dashing, just not running specifically. Like, if you waste all your stamina running and then attack I am fine with it.
>>335745320
Like armor, do I ignore the attack power and only focus on the stats? Shit is confusing me
>>335745240
Running in full armour is super exhausting. My friend was on the national team over here and used to run a lot. He puked when he ran too much.
Swinging your katana 6 times in a row is less exhausting than sprinting with full body armour. Also this is a video game, so they can balance it how they want. They went with semi-realistic but you want it to be casual shit. Just do >>335745296
this
>>335744805
No, gold ghosts are special ghosts that guarantee one type of drop (usually a particular weapon or armor piece with random roll stats). Red names are implemented NPC phantoms, white names are players.
Example, Jo the Fisherman in level 1 is a gold particles NPC phantom, and he will 100% every time you fight him drop a purple osafune kanemitsu katana
>>335745553
Holy fuck I have been ignoring every bloodstain because I thought they were all players.
>>335745521
Again, calm down anon. I am still liking the game and am going to buy it. But the fact that enemies can run forever with no stamina drop but you can't isn't really a smart move, especially considering there is a tool tip about retreating if things get testy.
>>335745351
but you are people calling names.
>Feel free to post yours
this isn't reddit
>>335745389
sounds fair.
>>335745320
Damn axes and their stamina requirement, they have it easy.
how do you summon people for help I'm stuck.
>>335745320
What is Familiarity?
>>335745779
>gets BTFO
>no I will not prove anything after having a big mouth
ok kid, sure. I totally believe you. ;)
>>335745762
You can outrun enemies easily though. I ran from the middle of the burning village to the 3rd shrine in 1 go and from 6 enemies only 1 actually followed me there all the way.
>Spend forever trying to beat boat Oni
>Replay the level
>Beat him first try
>>335740809
It's certainly more difficult.
>>335745909
Don't unless you absolutely need to. Summoning makes it harder.
>>335745909
offer a cup at a shrine and wait. You can keep playing while you wait.
>>335745926
its not implemented in the alpha demo.
Made it to the second shrine in the second mission. How close am I to the next boss?
anyone have that alpha feedback thing? can't remember what it was.
>>335745926
in the demo it does nothing. I assume it's either for unlocking more skills for a weapon type, or it strenghtens your weapon. the logic being that being familiar with something means you handle it better = more durability and/or strenght.
>>335745996
i got summoned for someone needing help on the first boss. fucking idiot ran into me and fell off the pier.
>>335746040
Right next to the boss
I killed the two oni guarding the mist could near the door at the back of the 2nd level, but then the oni that spawned from the cloud was completely different and just wrecked me. What am I doing wrong? I'm lvl. 31 and only using low stance katana. Do the guard oni go away forever, or do I have to fight another cyclops and two more fucking oni just to get another chance at getting my shit slapped? Don't tell me to summon a visitor, not gonna happen. I wanna git gud.
Great, the treads are already worse than souls threads. I was hoping for some nice threads, but i guess that will never happen
>>335745706
no, even player ghosts are just NPC controlled player bodies. They're like bloodstains in the souls series, but you can fight the ghost instead of watching it die, and if you're lucky get a piece of gear it's wearing (with different stats obviously)
how's my William?
>>335745996
>>335746027
how many players?
>>335746082
Well shit I guess I'm tripping.
Games fucking cool but fighting the shitty oni enemies and bosses are more painful then it should be for me.
I just can't find a flow to fight these types of enemies yet.
>>335745930
That is really cool anon, that didn't happen to me. And that doesn't change that enemies can run after you without stopping and when you hack up a lung, they get a free hit.
>>335746094
Not with yours and OP's attitude.
>>335745996
I ve helped a bunch of people on either level, didn't notice any increase in dificulty. Stunlocked everything to shit and the 2nd guy can stab enemies in the back while you block them. Super easy.
>>335746094
Maybe they would be if cunts would stop being crybabies with thin skin and going
>WAAAAAH SOULS WAAAAH ITS NOT THE SAME AT ALL
in the OP and throughout the thread.
>>335746084
there shouldn't be any fight where you can't take them on one at a time. the oni inside mists dissappear once you beat them once. there's also a shrine right next to the boss door so you can avoid all of them alltogether. need a key though IIRC
>>335746205
does it help at all that i regret being snarky in my op comment?
>>335746159
1
>>335746180
You can get free hits on them when they run out of stamina for swinging their axe a grand total of 4 times, its just fair. Enemies have to use shitty AI and you can stop running before you run out of stamina. You can watch a stamina bar, right anon?
>>335746079
IMPLYING is that you?
I was actually looking away and slid to the side, not into you, but sorry anyway
>>335746270
you are wrong. I ran past enemies in the 2nd level and I had to fight nue, one oni and one creeper with poison all at the same time. Wasn't even that hard actually.
what's the story here? why are humans and demons together?
>>335740809
>Get my weight to 99%
>Nobody can knock me back or over anymore.
Holy shit, this is how you become OP in this game, I get it now.
>>335746270
What about the oni that aren't inside the mists? Do I have to fight those fuckers again? Which one has the key, is it the one in the mist cloud that slapped my shit?
>>335746402
>>335746270
I just noticed I missunderstood you a little, yes you can actually sneak past those enemies, I was understanding you like you ve said that enemies cannot get into the boss room, nvm.
>>335746298
no, it was like...two days ago. my nick isn't implying. Hilarious though, guy struggling so bad, finally gets help, then fucks it up before even getting there
>>335746402
huh, must have taken the scenic route or some shit. I know i had to fight a dweller along with a bigger oni but that's it. There was ONE time i had to fight two cyclopses because i wasn't aware that the small tongue cunts evolve once they get you thrice.
>>335746295
Anon, you keep bringing up different points that don't relate. Yes I can watch a stamina bar, stop trying to belittle the person you are talking to.
The game straight up penalizes you for trying to run away from a fight when it tells you to retreat if things get rough, that is not smart. I don't hate it, I think it could be better.
Is there anything more useful than fire shurikens? Two of those things kill fucking everything.
>kiku-ichimonji
Good god.
Delicious weapon.
>>335746138
>960x540
Come on.
>>335746570
Ah, well I just did the same thing with that guy, I was looking away from the controller and slid right into the drink.
Activated the transition at the same time which caused an interesting bug, that is, my body stuck in the room watching the oni.
>>335746493
This is how you run out of stamina after 4 attacks you scrub. This game is about dodging and not about tanking.
>>335746614
running away from a fight means that you get to fight 1 enemy instead of 6. You can outrun them with one stamina bar. Not sure what your issue is.
>>335741161
This,tells you taking on groups of enemys is foolish pairs them together so they attack together
>ps2 graphics
>bland as shit environments
>few enemy variety
>enemy AI is bumfuck retarded and will spam the same moves until they run out of stamina
>spears are turning on easy mode
>UI, control scheme, bloostains, currency, bonfires ripped straight from Souls
goty
>>335746539
don't remember about the key. the oni's inside the mist only need to be fought once. Consider them temporary obstacles or some shit.
>>335746567
They can? the door closes for me so.
>>335746654
Raikiri or bust nigga. Shit's so ninja it's amazing
>>335746626
depends, the kekkai amulets make nue a bitch
>>335746706
I audibly laughed when i saw it. Even got the "oh no" emote in time. It's an amazing view really.
>>335746138
>agility C
you dun goofed.
>>335746167
>getting the hang of it
>90% of the onis health gone
>fuck up 1 time and he instant kill me with a grab
There has to be a way to make oni fights easier.
>>335746809
abuse the stamina. stagger their pants off and rape them no lube all homo
>>335746654
>mfw I get a Kiku-Ichimonji it does more damage against humans
>>335746809
Fire shurikens.
>You can literally commit Sudoku
Nice.
Also, how the fuck do you cast magic and equip shuriken and shit.
I beat the whole fucking game just with weapons and the bow.
>>335746712
Nope, I increased my Stamina and I have a 121 Katana with +11 earth damage. I'm wrecking everything.
>>335746809
High Stance, learn their openings, smack them in the head and bust their Ki gauge to weaken them significantly. Better learn 'em now cuz they're all over the second stage.
You won't be trashing them until late into the second stage really.
Fuck this bull shit. It's literally a cheap dark souls knock off. Why would you support this shit?
>>335746712
The issue is the inconsistency and that it is just an odd move. That, and I have had the guys in the village chase me all the way back to the first shrine, sometimes they just don't give up, and with unlimited stamina they can just sort of do it.
>>335746945
in the shrine nigga
>>335746945
>go to shrine
>select "ready jutsus"
>ready your jutsus
>?????
>profit
>>335746945
The bow is so fucking good in this game. Those 1.2k dmg headshots are delicious.
>>335746789
they can get it before it closes.
>>335746951
How is that related to stamina at all?
>>335746945
The shrine, equip jutsus. Leave shrine, go into equipment and put them in quick slots.
>>335747020
Because it's Ninja Gaiden + Onimusha you souls cuck.
>>335747023
It might be because it is an alpha but for me they stopped following me after half the burning village. I had one oni fall of a roof and get stuck in a house as well.
>>335746697
does it really matter?.
>>335746802
I like being tanky
>>335747020
Because its fun.
Has anyone else fought Ryu Hayabusa revenant yet?
>>335747069
I meant Heart and some Spirit for extra Ki.
I still see it as a Stamina Bar. Killed 3 Oni's now without dodging, Just walking around and beating down. Playing a tank is godmode.
>>335747143
Fuck off. It's dark souls weebified. Fuck that.
>>335747034
>>335747049
>>335747110
I don't have a jutsu option in my shrine.
Just
>Kodama blessing
>change Guardian
>level up
>make offering
Then there's 4 blank slots in the wheel.
Maybe my game's bugged?
>>335747258
Was it a player or NPC?
AKA what color was it's name
cause i've fought a billion and a half ryuhayabusa19823018239012 variants, but no npc ryu hayabusa
>>335747183
>does it really matter?.
Of course it matters. You asked how is your William. I cant see how he is with that small res. Upload a bigger pic you ninja dog.
>>335747284
Did you used a samurai point on the jutsu scrolls?
>>335747284
Did you spend skill points in the ninja and omnyo tabs of your skill menu?
>Nioh is better
>no souls is bettet
>NO NIOH IS BETTER SOULS BABBY
>FUCKING RIPOFF SOULS IS BETTER
>REEEEEEEE
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Why can't you people just shut the fuck up and enjoy video games?
>>335747183
Then play world of tanks. You get heavily punished for trying to turtle in a game about teleporting behind other people. If you like to play hard mode then you are doing it right though I guess. You can tank 13 hits while having B in agility with good gear. No reason to have C there as it ruins your stamina.
>>335747143
>I never played Onimusha
>>335747163
That honestly might be true. honestly, if they left it alone, but too down the agro range a bit it would be fine
>>335747380
Played em all and read the 2 mangas. Hell I even own the Pachinko game for the PS2 and the Dawn of Dreams movie.
>>335747358
>>335747360
Mmm. Fuck me then. I'm an idiot.
I was putting all my points in Katanas and spears.
I'll go end my life quietly.
>>335747365
most people are talking about the game, the rest are mad shitters. ignore the trolls, as usual.
>>335747284
separate skill points for ninja tab and magic tab under skills. better get to using.
>>335747273
it's really not
how do you get summoned to help people?
What do you think the last 2 missing tabs are? I bet 1 is a blacksmith.
>>335747449
All right then you know Nioh has way more in common with the Souls games then.
>>335747368
Nope it doesn't. Tank here and I've never ran out of Ki and I killed everything without any hassle. Enemies including Oni could barely hurt me.
>>335740809
This game looks like shit tho
>>335747460
You have separate skill points for ninja AND Omnyo. Sword, axe, and spear all share Samurai, which is why you get a gorillion damn Samurai points.
>>335747558
Upload video. I want to make a super tanky character too. Do you take a lot of damage or armor degradation?
>>335747543
Probably one be a shop.
>>335747543
Social links :^)
>>335747682
Oh god yes. I want to date a cute monster girl.
>walking backwards while locked on will present your back to the enemy
I tried to like this game
>>335747558
How many full combos can you do in a row without running out of stamina? How much stamian does a dodge cost you? I have the feeling that you do not even know how much stamina you are using on being a tank and just say nope because you can.
>Taking no damage when blocking with a fucking katana
>>335747552
How?
Oni = Onimusha
Japanese "History" = Onimusha
Different weapon mechanics = Onimusha
Different Elements = Onimusha
Powerful Enemies = Onimusha
Levelling Abilities = Onimusha
Combat = Ninja Gaiden
Loot System = Diablo
Or are you saying durability is exclusive to Dark Souls?
>>335747656
Armor deg doesn't really matter, I am sitting on 10 whetstones and the glue, and it heals half of EVERY equipped weapon and armor
>>335747284
You have to find all the Kodama in the first level in order to ready jutsu and magic.
>>335747836
So Weeb Souls?
>>335747836
he probably doesn't know onimusha had shrines and thinks dark souls invented checkpoints with bonfires. Or blood stains means that its 100% ripped off of souls. People are idiots.
>>335747763
>walking
no, you weren't walking
>>335740809
HEY GUYS REMEMBER THE "HALO KILLER"
>>335747821
I don't dodge, nothing can hurt me more than a slither.
I can do 3 Combos with no Ki Burst, but who plays like that.
>>335747763
If you hold the block button you do an automatic 180 and block their attack.
>>335747835
Folded over one gorillion times.
Does anyone else find it really odd that when you're on the map and go to a missions summary it shows a picture of William off to the side with a shiny label for his name? As if there was other characters to use?
>>335747836
Oni = Onimusha
Japanese "History" = Onimusha
Different weapon mechanics = Onimusha
Different Elements = Onimusha + souls
Powerful Enemies = Every fucking game
Levelling Abilities = Souls
Combat = Onimusha + souls
Loot System = Diablo
Fixed that for youI love the onimusha games
>>335740809
So far it is only a Alpha demo but it has so much to offer. Hope the full game has more weapons spells and abilities.
I had more fun bumbling through this demo than I had with the last third of DaS3.
