>finally beat Nioh demo after 12-15 hours
>it's time to continue my Dark Souls 3 run
>it feels so clunky now
I can't be the only one
12-15 hour demo? how many levels and bosses is it?
>game has good and proper hit boxes on most enemies
My fucking dick, I love this game.
>>335754708
2 levels 2 bosses
>>335754708
Two levels, both are pretty large with hard enemies(you need to grind)
Two bosses
That fucking demo is clunky as shit, the fuck.
>>335754612
Even if you got your shit completely pushed in for the first hour or two while you learned how the game works, which is completely understandable, how on earth could it take you more than 5 or 6 hours to finish?
>>335755112
How is it clunky? It's certainly more fluid than any Souls game.
Eh I already deleted it..didn't seem good
I loved the demo but I had no problem switching games. Nioh is fast, but rigid and jarring. DaS3 is slow, but smoother.
>>335755157
The first area fucked me so many times
Even after learning the basics of the gameplay.
>>335755157
Exploring, trying out different gear, trying different skills, testing mechanics, etc
Anyone else couldn't get into soulsgame but are loving this game? For me, specifically, it's the combat. The combat feels really fluid and flashy in Nioh. In the Souls games I played (DaS 1 and 3), the combat felt kinda clunky but definitely slow. It may appeal to some people, but for me, it felt too deliberate and obtuse. I also didn't like how rolling looked and felt. It was largely unsatisfying to keep rolling to dodge enemies and the animation for it was lacking.
I am enjoying the alpha demo so far and I'm glad there are some new IPs coming out in the future that aren't completely shit.
>Get the key in the second level
>Go to the chest beyond that point

>Actively look around for ninjas before opening the chest, for the express purpose of maybe drawing one out and not getting ganked

PREPARE TO DIE XDDDD
>>335754612
PC when
This game's systems are way too complex to be explained in the couple tooltips they give you.
I spent about 2 hours just figuring out the basic combat, and I'm sure there's stuff I missed.
>Play Nioh
>Call something else clunky
Literal apologists. Is this the great new meme like Alpha Protocol being good?
>>335755901
Don't make us say it.
>>335754612
this is the worst fucking demo ever holy christ fuck whoever made this.
i can't stand the combat
it feels like a gimped ninja gaiden but instead of being smooth and acrobatic from the start requires you to invest insane amounts of time into it
and why do you do such shit damage the beginning? enemies take 2 full combos to kill and you die in like 2 hits
>>335755952
If you were playing Alpha Protocol for the gameplay you were playing it wrong.
>>335755952

>>335755901
https://www.vg247.com/2015/02/06/team-ninja-wont-make-any-more-pc-games-if-modders-are-naughty/
It took 3 hours after release for the first one to appear.
>>335755901
when it releases in NA
demo never ever though
>>335755952
The gameplay feels smooth as fuck i dont know what you are talking about
>2 enemies gang up on me
>Hit the dodge button a couple of times to roll away
>My character runs out of air and stops moving
>get 1 shotted lol
>revive at the beach and retry again
>the piece of shit game doesnt even have parry system or shields so I am FORCED to dodge but wait! The game has no iframes so its useless :^)
I never believed in artificial difficulty until I played this game. Its literally impossible just for the sake of it.
so is it true that it has a souls-like leveling system?
>>335756039
>and why do you do such shit damage the beginning? enemies take 2 full combos to kill and you die in like 2 hits
Because you were wearing literal minarine clothes
>>335756163
Did you play like 3 minutes? it has both parries and blocking
>>335756163
But it does have a parry system. Did you even read any of the tutorial notes in the menu?
Nioh demo > DS3
>>335756163
You have to unlock parries. Also learn to block dipshit.
>>335756256
marine*
Fucking corrector
>>335756225
Yeah, levelling is done at the shrine (Bonfire), as with Souls.
>>335756163
Why don't you actually bother to read the skills in the skill tree, parry is one of the first skills you can unlock, and there are two different ones you can unlock
>>335756319
actually for the barehanded parry you start the game with it, you don't have to spend points to learn it
downside is you're barehanded against an opponent
>>335755901
team ninja dislikes pc.
So did the game earn your preorder?
>>335756297
fucking this all the way.
>>335754612
Do you need PS+ to play the demo?
>When you realize how strong the block is
Game is still shit, closing the gap and mobility just feel plain awful. It also just feels like I am playing a bad game, something about it just isn't legit.
I love the dodging in this game, feels great to actually avoid the attack instead of relying on iframes for everything
>>335755697
I cant beat the second phase of the first boss. His Stamina regen blocking shit fucks me uo every time
>>335756442
no, i think even if you don't have ps+ you can even co-op as well
last boss is bullshit. the fucking tracking and the janky movements need some work
>>335756442
no, just download it from the store.
>>335756453
Watch your weight equipment retard, if its over 70% your mobility goes to the shitter
>coop partners stay even if you find and use new shrines
>coop partners get loot from both bodies, chests, and wolrd objects
>coop partners can join point at any stage in the level, meaning there are MANY more players to match to
>coop partners don't seem to be level restricted
Why has Souls not done any of this yet?
It should do literally all of it.
>>335756426
Maybe when more news comes out regarding it or a second demo closer to release.
>>335756163
>>335756297
Sad, but true.
>>335755789
Yep. This exactly the game I've been waiting for.
Look, I admire the FUCK out of the Souls games and they are a treasure to an otherwise shit industry variety and challenging-wise, but the combat in all of those games just aren't for me. Demon, Dark, Bloodborne, tried them all and I just couldn't.
I don't blame the games though, I know it's me fucking up. But my personal preferences on combat just weren't satisfied enough for me to devote the time and energy to git gud. Nioh does this for me though. Now I really want to git gud because the combat meshes with me so much. I'm dying so much more than I did in the Souls games I've mentioned, and I still want to keep pushing forward because how much fun I'm having with this combat.
Again, the Souls' combats are great but just not for me. Nioh is and I'm happy. [spoilers] Until the feedback gets fucked up and game will end up worse. fml [/spoilers]
Anyone get to use the various elemental buffs to their weapons? Do the different buffs apply different effects to the enemy?
>>335756510
The only thing bullshit about the last boss is when he decides to start calling down lightning when you're up in his ass so far you can't see the telegraph.
So the trick is to low stance and smack him around 4-5 times, dip out, charge up your Shark Power, wait until he does beam and then hit him in the face. He'll lose his lightning. Activate Shark and faceroll.
>>335756426
Honestly yeah, been craving for a game with good melee combat for a long time
>>335756591
How can you be a samurai bro? I can just conjure
Too much loot. I like the randomized stats, but holy shit I'm drowning in it here.
>>335754612
i found nioh much clunkier feeling than souls
really great demo though
>>335756591
souls would be shit if it implemented those features. they fit in nioh, but not at all in souls.
>>335756753
Fire does damage over time
I THINK thunder does some sort of breif stun or something
I don't know what water. wind and earth do.
>>335756426
Need to see how the game ends up from the feedback. Could be a better or worse product because of divide opinions are.
>>335756752
Don't you jinx you fuck.I'm legitimately having fun with this game
>>335756824
Select "Matchmaking" on level select screen.
Everyone I play with ends up getting themselves killed.
>zombies can grab you out of a combo and the lanky bastards have hyper armor

>lock on doesn't have you always facing the enemy so often swing and miss mid combo inb4 L1

I am seething with rage.
>>335754612
I never played a Souls game but this was really fun, when I fully upgraded the Katana mid stance and got a good weapon, the enemies were fun to fight. I can handle two enemies at once with the katana but 3+ needs practice
>>335756426
That depends. If they nerf it to shit and make it a lot easier then no. The one thing I hate about arpgs with diablo loot system is how easy and boring they are. You kill easy enemies to get loot to kill enemies even easier. The difficulty only kicks in after you are 100 hours in doing hardcore runs. In this game even if you have good gear you can still get fucked if you are not careful and I love it. Combat is a lot more fun too.
Be honest /v/
The fight clubs will be better than souls won't it?
>>335756756
need 12 spirit for sharkbro though
the lightnin shit is exactly my problem
the boss ai doesn't function properly. it decides to do whatever it wants no matter your positioning
If you all play as the same dude how do you coop?
is there sicknasty420 pvp?
>>335756926
>demons don't attack other humans, they all gang up on you
This made the least sense.
The demons are formed from the sadness of the dead people. Yet they ignore their murderers?
>>335754612
Combat is good, its the fucking item management and durability that need fixing. Makes it so tedious.
>>335756926
>not liking Ninja Oni
Fucking scrub.
>>335756591
Bloodborne did the bodies thing. You could pick up vials and other things from dead bodies as a coop hunter.
Everything else about loot though would break the structure of how Souls gives out items. They would have to randomize rewards for souls so that you can't just coop at the start of a zone to get rewards from later in the zone without exploring yourself.
Is this the new thread? Things are so much easier now that I have that door shortcut. Welp, time to attack another mist oni and get my shit slapped, wish me luck!
>>335754987
Do you get anything else for beating the second level or is it just the first boss that unlocks shit?
>>335756926
>lock on doesn't have you always facing the enemy so often swing and miss mid combo inb4 L1
This is the stupidest complaint i've seen about this game
Just look at the enemy before you attack.
>enemies have tiny aggro ranges but never stop chasing you if spotted, fuck archers
Wrong, they do stop.
>>335756984
how's the pvp?
>>335754612
Fuck the lame-ass boat demon.
Any tips for beating this thing?
I feel like I've got all it's attacks down but every time I fuck something up and get roasted.
>>335757063
Beat it, doesn't mean I have to like bullshit you sperm gargling memeing piece of human garbage.
This demo is fucking bullshit. Absolute fucking bullshit.
I sure would like to enjoy your game, and I sure would like to download your free DLC, but I can't even get the DLC because I have to beat the first boss, but I can't even get to the first boss because I KEEP FUCKING DISCONNECTING FROM THE GAME.
WHY IS A DEMO ALWAYS-ONLINE.
WHY.
I don't even think it's my internet either. When the game boots me out I am still clearly logged into psn, the game just won't make the fucking connection. I have to go run an internet connection test in the settings every single fucking time.
Oh, and when I do get back in, the game has set me back at the last shrine, and re spawned all the enemies.
FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU
>>335756926
You can get rid of the stamina drain areas. Use a ki burst
>>335756984
Yes, because Ni-Oh is Onimusha Souls. It's taking the best parts of souls and combining it with the best parts of forgotten Capcom. The only thing that can ruin this is Team Ninja suddenly deciding to go full Team Ninja.
>>335757041
He favors the lightning strikes when you get too far away from it.
Try hit and run tactics and activate the Dog. He's not as good as the Shark for that fight but he's good enough.
>>335756404
How do you backhand parry? Just time it with an enemy attack and press L1?
>>335754612
dark souls has felt clunky to me since day 1
>>335756920
how do you get to that screen if you're already deep into a mission?
>>335757292
Use the something branch item
It's description is something like "takes you back to your starting point" or something similar to that.
>>335756135
>https://www.vg247.com/2015/02/06/team-ninja-wont-make-any-more-pc-games-if-modders-are-naughty/
>P-please spend $5.99 on our m-moral bikini DLC and s-s-stop making and distributing the same shit for free.
>>335757191
It's an alpha demo. They need you to be sending data about your experiences. You constantly crashing will ultimately help them down the line.
>>335757181
But there's nothing bullshit about them, young lady. It's amazing how people are chimping out over this game because they have to play it reasonably conservatively.
>>335757114
Not him, but I do think the locking on system needs work. I don't get why it doesn't let you face the enemy for the duration of the lock. As of right now, the lock on just helps you see the enemies stamina and hp. It can be improved.
>>335756984
The potential is there but this is Team Ninja and if anyone here played Ninja Gaiden 3 you know how terrible and laggy the MP for that was.
>>335757114
No, they don't, they will chase you wherever you go. I didn't mean archer enemies chase you though, but if they see you, even if you were to take another route, they detect you from half a mile away. If this is the best they can do to make the game challenging they're failing miserably.
>>335757191
I never gave me connection problems
>>335757397
it fucking better be worth it because this is fucking unplayable.
I just stopped summoning those revenants.
I summoned about 5-10 of them and I was able to kill a lvl 1. What the fuck are they? AI controlled player characters from other peoples accounts?
>>335756426
I only played an hour or so but I can see that there is definitely good gameplay there, no fucking pre-order but I'll definitely pick it up I also like the fact that there are a shit ton of options/settings in the game, I hope we can change the control layout in the full game though
Where the input lag tests at?
>>335756984
If the parry, especially the barehand parry will stay the same then no. Everyone will just fish for parries
>>335757247
Block button and square. Similar to das you have you time it with the enemy attack.
>>335756084
>playing a GAME for the GAMEPLAY is wrong

>>335757367
does that reset your progress?
>>335757145
I had a worse time with the first boss than with Nue. Got the bastard on my fourth try without using guardian spirit shit.
Bait out the beam, then run up to its right and smack the face a couple times to instantly exhaust it.
Don't try to punish it when you're dodging the four bolts of fuckyoudead. Getting hit by one did like 900ish minimum to me at the end of my run.
>>335757542
They're an AI-controller avatar of a dead player that uses their equipment and imitates their fighting style. Killing them will make them drop a summoning cup and a piece of equipment that the player in-question died wearing.
>>335757542
They are where other players died. I assume you fight that player's character controlled by the AI.
Neat little gimmick. Sometimes they have good shit.
>tfw no one really mentions birdbro
BIRD BROS WW@?!
Nioh won't load past the main menu for me. I played yesterday but now it's saying it can't connect. Anyone else? Is there a fix?
>>335756926
>>zombies can grab you out of a combo
Grabs need to go. Everything else you mentioned is fine.
>>335757051
I don't know how it works to be honest.
The demon you fight on top of the buildings imply that he transformed into one. But then the final boss is made of a bunch of slave grudges
>>335757462
I've literally tested this and saw enemies turning away from me and giving up chasing me
>>335757674
Is the bird good?
Shark Trigger lasts fucking forever.
>>335757685
try doing what I did and running an internet connection test in your settings.
>>335757145
Equip armor with lightning resistance. I went from getting 1 shotted by it to being able to withstand several hits.

>literally
Fuck off and stop lying.
>>335757674
Is there a way to level up the mascots?
>>335756084
The guy is right. A game first and foremost needs to have gameplay be good, then you focus on narrative or whatever other garbage you want to implement.
>>335757615
This.
>>335756920
the netcode is pretty jank though
lots of teleporting around
>>335757674
Fuck yeah fellow bird bro!
>>335757096
I have the same question
>>335757828
They do give up if you lead them on long enough. I had three Oni after me in the storm shrine yesterday and managed to give them the slip.
>>335757859
Yes, but not in the demo.
>>335756926
I agree with the zombies being way too tanky. I mean they are fucking zombies with no armor they would not eat a hammet and keep walking. And yes humans enemies not attacking them is weird.
>>335757205
the fuck is that
>>335757881
Where the hell is dominance?
>>335757909
Oh absolutely. When I was summoned I got slapped by the giant balls of the boat boss over and over because they were teleporting.
>>335757791
So armor and stats in this game matter a lot unlike Bloodborne and DaS3?
>>335757749
Bird doesn't last nearly as long but it's still pretty solid. I think you take it more for its passives than its offense. If you dodge a lot it's great since it lowers ki consumption on a dodge by 15% and boosts item drop rate I believe.
>>335754612
Please tell me this boss is slightly harder than the first Oni giant you encounter in the village.
I really liked it up until Nue.
It's just a lame boss. If it were pushing my shit in, while being fun that'd be great.
But one shotting me with sporadic ranged attacks and summoning fucking adds is just obnoxious.
Didnt even feel rewarding when I beat him like I usually feel with a hard Boss. Just felt glad to get it out of the way.
>>335757828
Yes, literally.
I ran from the beginning of the second level to the shrine near the statue guys and turned round to see 2 of them walking away from me
Did you do the survey?
>>335757096
>>335757940
For me it was only the normal items reward you get after beating a level, nothing like the DLC you get after the first boos
>>335758015
Press the stance button after finishing an attack. Pay attention to the dead Japanese tutorial ghosts, anon.
>>335756926
>zombies can grab you out of a combo and the lanky bastards have hyper armor
Just stick to their sides/behind them? If they miss they lie on the ground and you walk up and do a heavy attack and you actually do a special stab animation that does a lot of damage.
>demons don't attack other humans, they all gang up on you
I'll admit this is kinda dumb
>ninja ogres
They're the easiest demons though
>stamina drain area cause why the fuck not
It exists for you to get rid of it with the stamina replenishing ki burst thing
>no frames
Turn on action mode in system settings in the main menu for better framerate
>lock on doesn't have you always facing the enemy so often swing and miss mid combo inb4 L1
Just face the general direction of the enemy and let go of the stick, there's a bit of homing on to your attacks when you're locked on to the enemy
>enemies have tiny aggro ranges but never stop chasing you if spotted, fuck archers
Gitgud, you're not supposed to be able to run away. Just shoot archers in the head before they become a problem, headshot damage is insane with bows you usually 1-shot weaker things.
>>335754612
>weeb and obscure exclusive with PS3 graphics
of course /v/ will say it's better than dark souls since the series has gone mainstream
>>335758075
Yes, particularly with weight limitations, which combined with the unforgiving stamina mechanics, makes managing it all far more important than in Souls.
>>335756163
iframes are literal casual tier.
>>335757824
Damn you are retarded. I knew you were going to strawman him.
No one is saying those things are bad fucknut, they are good, but if a game doesn't have good gameplay, something that defines video games for what they are and separates them from other medium, then it's garbage. If a game has a good story, you might aswell read the storyline and never play the game to begin with.
Gameplay and narrative needs to go hand in hand with video games.
>Hop off my boat, walk up to guy, he attacks me, i try to punch him I die, do this 3 more times die
>Find out I can clap, figure this must mean I should clap when he attacks
>clap, catches his katana and kills him
>wonder why I dropped his katana
>discover the inventory
i love this game
>>335758015
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt seeing as the game doesn't explain them for shit.
Basically, when you attack and your stamina/ki goes down, after the animation you'll see a blue bar fill up, hit R1 and you'll regain the blue portion of the drained stamina bar back and do a ki burst.
I like how the main character actually is a foreigner and not just a Japanese guy that looks white.
Can't find a single good spear in the first stage, beat all the bloodstains I saw, but still nothing over 90.
Do you get anything for beating nue and finding all the little cup people or is only for boat guy?
Also post Rivians
>>335758132
Yes. I told them to include difficulty options. I dont see why not. Diablo has it. Hard diffculty has higher drop rate and better items while lower doesnt. That way more people get to enjoy the game.
>>335758195
Why so salty bro?
>>335758096
When you see him doing the ranged attack, literally just keep walking around him.
>Summoning adds
What?
>>335758079
Whenever I use it I get a shit ton of good drops like yellows. I love it.
>>335758285
He's Eurasian in the story.
>>335758320
DLC's only for the first mission. Finding all the Kodama doesn't do anything apart from improve your buffs.
>>335758285
The character you play is based off of William Adams: British sailor who became the first western samurai and adviser to Ieyasu Tokugawa
>>335758334
>saying the truth is now being 'salty'

>>335758356
The door doesn't close until you engage the boss.
Anon probably had dudes chasing him. I know I did, because there's a little zombie fucker right outside the door.
>>335756426
ive tried killing nue for the last 10 hours, I cant, its just too hard tbqh
I wish the retail version would allow me to make a waifu protagonist, I don't like playing as Japanese Geralt
>>335758332
Kill yourself.
>>335758320
I found all the little guys but I don't know if they gave me anything
How do you get Spirit for the living weapon guys?
Some parts on the second stage were indeed bullshit but I hope they don't lower the difficulty because some faggots can't git gud.
How do you become a visitor?
The game makes me think if you made Bloodborne play like Bushido Blade, you'd end up with something like this.
It's very punishing on any mistake. And the gameplay is very exacting. Stamina management is paramount, and you won't even be thinking of fighting a goddamn boss let alone fighting more than a single guy until you've leveled up and figured out how to play.
>>335758451
It's actually really, really easy. The first bass was way more annoying.
>beat director
>get a full set and a sword
Oh man, no way this will be in the final
>>335758564
On the map screen, select the level you want to co-op on and press square.
>>335754612
So is this basically Onimusha meets Ninja Gaiden meets Dark Souls featuring Geralt of Rivia?
I can dig it.
>>335758384
Yeah its pretty great, I wonder if it affects elixir drop rates too. Bird with the healer blessing would be amazing.
>>335758479
I think there will be different playable characters. When you are on the map select screen for some reason a huge picture of William is on the right and his name is all shiny. That looks to me like a character select screen.
>>335758607
It took me an hour to figure out fucking him in the face while he shoots his beam de-electrifies him.
After that it was easy street.
>>335758581
Leveling up does nothing. It's more about getting better weapons and learning how to actually play the game.
>>335758163
>dead japenese tutorial ghost
nigga i thought that was Geralts subconcious speaking
>>335758285
Eeeeh, i get it that he is based on William Adams, but desu the story seems to be so losely based on the life of said figure it doesn't really make much sense to me WHY focus on Adams.
I guess its the idea that westerners only buy shit with westerners in it which is present in the cinema industry and to frame medieval japan thorugh the lens of someone who just came from japan and is seeing the shittiest place to live, where father sell their kids to save their hide, people betray each other, dudes become monsters, and bandits kill everyone.
But oh well, i'll see it when the game comes out
>>335758282
Thanks, I didn't remember which button it was,but it's not actually in the tutorial tips .
>>335754612
>quicktime events in every sword swing
>shitty textures
>awful tutorial
>no customization due to constant weapon degradation
>diablo tier loot
Nope. I screwed around for 2 hours and then said fuck it. Dark Souls 3 kicks the shit out of this alpha build trash.
>>335756297
I'm loving both of them.
>>335758775
Ni-Oh is based on an Akira Kurosawa script that was never made into a film.

They can swipe and go for a grab who?e on ten ground
Meant iframes
Cool but not facing the enemy always, an enemy you're LOCKED ON TO is dumb and I won't let that go, plus, if you kill the target it doesn't lock on to the nearest enemy, what are they fresh out of game design school?
>not supposed to be able to run away
Says who? Some archers have helmets and can't be headshotted by one arrow, all that dies is aggro them and their buddies and getting two shotted

There's influences from a whole bunch of different stuff (Souls/BB, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Bushido Blade, a little Ninja Gaiden and Genji), but the game feels distinctly like its own thing.
>>335758707
Leveling up gives you skill points to unlock the move sets. Is the stats that are all weird.
>>335758773
But there's a bunch of different voices. Including women.
Japanese Geralt might be fucked up compared to his Polish counterpart.
>>335756297
They're both good. Already finished both and looking forward to more.
>8/9
>TFW Bow and Arrows make the first level a breeze
>>335758498
woah there
Coming from a long time "Dark Souls is literally the best game ever" kinda guy...
I like Nioh more than Dark Sous
>>335758998
Where's your face!??!?!
>>335758864
Well, i imagine with all the transitions the game went through and its 10 years of development, they must be quite away from the original script.
The game went from a Ninja Gaiden clone, to a Dynasty Warriors clone to a Souls clone.
Nue tips plspls
>>335758881
*go for a grab while on the ground
>>335758332
You're everything that's wrong with games.
So let me ask this, as this seems like the appropriate place.
I never got to play Onimusha. Should I get in on that shit now? Release order? Anything worth skipping?
>>335758881
I am going to test this tomorrow but today I noticed if you shoot an enemy wearing a helmet in his exact face where the helmet does not cover you can deal the same high damage when they are not wearing helmets. I hope I am not mistaken.

>>335758332
/r/ing someone ban this beta shitter
>onisoulsa
This is fucking glorious.
>>335755901
PS3 exclusive. But is not like it's Onimusha or anything. I bet DS III will get a mod... eventually.
I'm loving it so far. Obviously it's very Souls inspired, but with Ninja Gaiden's more technical and punishing difficulty. I'm also getting vibes of Onimusha, Otogi, and even Bushido Blade. It's a lot of my favorite franchises rolled into one, and it's fantastic.
>>335759190
Confirmed. You can see the damage counter being bigger and bolder than normal, which is identical to the rear damage.
>>335759108
Summon visitor
Summon shark or dog
Proceed to make the boss fight too easy
>>335759148
1-3, skip the rest.
>inb4 that faggot that likes dawn of dreams
How do you get summon in this game? I want to co op with other peeps
>>335758881
i've never met a archer that can't be headshotted.
I'm serious, if they're using those rice helmets you should be able to headshot him pretty easily, and they have shitty HP, so if you miss the first, you should be able to kill him the second time
Most of the dudes you can't kill with headshots are the big officer dudes
>>335758332
>I told them to include difficulty options.
But how cant they make the game harder?
>>335759094
Yeah, it doesn't seem to based on the Kurosawa script anymore (Well, beyond the core of a Eurasian samurai based on William Adams fighting Oni in the 1600s), at least from now KT are advertising it. I remember when it was originally revealed, Tecmo wouldn't shut up about the Kurosawa connection and the Oni script and were clearing banking on that to move units. Since it was rerevealed at TGS last year, KT haven't mentioned either of the Kurosawas or the Oni script even once.
>>335759148
Yeah, Onimusha 1-3 are all still really good and worth playing (Get the Xbox version of 1 if you can, that has some additional stuff that makes it the best version). Dawn of Dreams is a bit polarizing, but worth a play. Ignore that crappy fighting game spin-off and the SRPG on the GBA.
>>335759415
>>335758650
>>335759392
But i've heard when you do co-op the boss quadruples in HP and in damage.
Does anyone know which mist ogre has the key? I've killed like 2 or 3 but still don't have it.
>>335759148
>1- One the best games ever made, perfect ambientation and feels.
>2- Multiple characters and RPG elements, don't fit well.
>3- Brainless pleasure, great pace and amazing graphics.
>4- What 2 wanted to be. An anime. Very different from the trilogy, but my second favorite.
Brawler gear is best gear
>>335758332
Fucking kill youself.
>Spend 3 hours fully exploring and beating the first level
>there's a second one
Jesus christ, this demo is huge. I almost don't want to do the second one not to spoil the full version if I decide to get it.
>>335759472
How do you return to the map screen?
>>335759148
Onimusha is a great series. If its possible I highly recommend getting the original Xbox version of the first one. Its called Genma Onimusha and is better than the Ps2 game. Better graphics, new areas, bosses and costumes. If you cant then just emulate the Ps2 games. Play all 4 games. Dawn of Dreams is great too.
But skip the shitty super smash brothers clone. God it was bad.
>>335759565
You can't do it manually, annoyingly. You have to finish a level to go back.
>>335754612
I dont hate this white boy protagonist, just as I dont hate Ryu in Ninja Gaiden.
But I cant really love these tryhard pretty boys either. Why cant they add a slutty female playable character?
>>335759558
Second level is actually rather condensed and small but you get to get good against a buncha yokai. Also the worst enemy known to man makes an appearance.
>beat both bosses so now I'm just helping people through the starting level
>these people don't pick up any drops
>90% of them use the axe exclusively in high stance
>none of them ki pulse
>none of them pick up whetstones, glue, or elixirs
These are the people complaining that the demo is way too difficult and are going to cause Team Ninja to change the difficulty. Let that sink in.
>>335759514
really?prove it fag
I don't have psn+, but still see revenants, some of them have such stupid names they can only be people, it's strange, guess you don't need psn+ to play online?
>>335758332
While I think you're a worthless casual, I will point out that even Ninja Gaiden Black had the Ninja Dog easy mode, and Ninja Gaiden 2 had the Path of the Acolyte. I'd still prefer if they keep the difficulty as is and don't throw in an alternative. Especially with the online functionality, I really don't want shitters clogging up the community. There are plenty of easier games for you to play.
co-oping in this game is so bad holy shit
>>335759695
Nope, not even for co-op.
>>335759605
maybe in a dlc
>>335759686
>i've heard
I'm just parroting what some anons said.
I didn't try it
>>335754612
>dat ugly graphics
Nice gook programming.
>>335759472
Doesn't it say Kurosawa's name in big letters in one of multiple splash screens in the beginning? Or am I thinking of something else?
>wear two katana
>only one shows up
I was really hoping for that "two katanas on the same side" thing you see all the time. That looks cool as fuck.
>>335759726
Why? I cant even summon anyone.
>>335759695
It's not really playing online. You are fighting AI controlled versions of their characters.
>>335759420
The ones wearing the wok helmets, who are never alone.
>>335759803
prove it you fuckin fag, this is a challenge your will not Walk away from
>download nioh
>"YooOoooOoOOOoooOOOOOOO"
really
I think the game would be perfect if you could map more consumables to the Dpad. Maybe one solution is like Dup is always your ninja stuff, right is your consumables and down is your magic stuff and you could press some button combo to cycle through them. im just trying to think of a way to fit that into the controls though
>PS4 exclusive
>>335759852
Do you mean Kou Shibusawa?Please check though, I'd like to be proven wrong here.
is it possible for this game to rip off souls any harder?
>>335759927
lol xD it doesn't do that!
>>335760006
Yes
It's called Salt and Sanctuary
>>335755952
>PS4
Sage
>>335760068
salt and sanctuary wasnt even doing it this hard
even the fucking ui is identical
>>335758332
That'll do nicely
>>335759912
but i'm far away from the ps4 anon
And i want to beat it by myself first...
>>335759891
You absolutely can headshot them.
I went through the city headshotting all archers
>>335760006
>hub area with a miko waifu
>>335760068
They really overdid it with that one. I still enjoyed it but I dont think it had enough new to be its own thing.
>>335759943
Wait no i thought of a better idea. Let left be your main weapon. Press left to cycle between those. Right are your consumeables. you can hotkey 5 or so of those. up and down cycles through them. thoughts?
>>335760006
Lords of the Fallen.
Salt and Sanctuary.
Eitr.
Nioh lifts a lot of ideas from Souls but the combat is very different and so is the setting, so I'm cool with it.
>>335755952
>>cool kid contrarian
Heroic
>>335760068
Salt and Sanctuary was actually good, at least.
Lords of the Fallen, on the other hand.
>>335760068
Sal i Santuario, it's ok?
>if your sword is bloody the sheathing animation includes a flick
>the flick splatters blood on the floor
I like it
>>335760153
S&S ripped it off whole sale and sucked on top of it. That is far worse. This game takes the souls system and put it on top of a great combat system.
Just solo'd Nue.
The Tombo-Kiri spear super fucks him.
>>335760006
Sure.
Just wait until the survey is over
So we're really doing this meme?
Are we actually pretending Nioh was better than ANY Souls game?
Why? Do we hate PCfags that much that we'll lie to ourselves?
>>335760153
You obviously didnt play Salt.
>>335760163
Must be a difference in gear obtained. What's the attack rating on your bow?
>>335756752
>I admire souls
>they're a treasure
holy fucking shit this delusion is unreal.
They're the same rehashed garbage like assassins creed. Except DS keeps rehashing much more than asscreed.
Gameplay is clunky, hitboxes are dogshit, performance is embarassing.
Where my niggas with the ishido masamune at?
This looks like a ps3 game and isn't half as good as DaS3..Why does v lie so much?
