What does re-doing the first mission reset again? Only progress/shortcuts right, not equipment? I finally beat the boss but the fucking PS4 didn't record the last part of the battle.

I took his wording 'huge swing' to mean what you referred to as the 'spin'. Not I don't know who means what. But I agree, sidestep (if you can call the slight movement needed a sidestep) the single downward crushing ball swings and block the spinning ball swings.
What does the camera mode option do?

Hakuna Matata /v/, my name is Jumbo Gumbo.
I'm a 27 year old American Afriboo (African fan for you white devils). I draw with berries and maggots on my stone tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior African games (Starving to Death, AIDS, Ball in a Cup).
I train with my bostaff every day, this inferior weapon can't cut clean through anything cause it's a stick, and is vastly inferior to any other weapon on Earth. I earned my bostaff license two years ago, and have been getting better with it every day.
I speak mouth clicking fluently, both Hibbity and Bibbity dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about African history and their Tribal Codes which I follow 100%.
When I get my Visa, I am moving to the Congo to not attend a prestigious college cause there isn't one. I hope I can make it past age 50!
I don't own any clothes, so I don't wear anything around town. I want to get used to walking around butt naked before I move to Africa, so I can fit in easier. I make clicking noises and rape my elders as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.
Wish me luck in Africa!

Haven't bothered with Nue yet, but Onryoki was easy af. All you have to do is hug his side; the fat ass can barely touch his toes. Nue's second phase is much easier than his first. His first phase's ball swing is his deadliest move. Its not the most damaging, his grapple is, but his grapple is so easy to avoid you should die just because you got grabbed by such an obvious move.

I just noticed that there's NPC revenants. I ignored the bloody graves because they're fucking EVERYWHERE. Do they give good drops? Gotta start checking those graves out now.

This is what consoles have always be for. Fun, well-made Japanese games with great fast-paced combat. The console war babies have tried their best to trivialize the role of [Japanese] console game development and it's impact of the medium. Officially I say play whatever's worth playing no matter the platform, it's all about the games themself.Secretly I draw deep, deep pleasure from the thought that no PCuck purist will lay his fat stinky hands on Nioh.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>335917519
Haven't gotten anything spectacular off of them. Best I found was what seemed to be a unique hammer, but that was from a random mob.

>Secretly I draw deep, deep pleasure from the thought that no PCuck purist will lay his fat stinky hands on Nioh.
To be honest, I think the Souls fanbase really only become cancer after DaS was released on the PC. DeS and DaS both had great fanbases and BB still has a decent fanbase but too much shitposting revolves BB.
>>335917648
I see. Then I haven't missed much by not fighting them. I just killed Onryoki and got to the other area. Let's see if I find any cool shit there.

No matter what it turns out to be, The Mark of the Conqueror is significant.
Before I say why I need to divide the Souls community into two general groups - Conquerors and Conquered - and quickly define both.
Both have basically been around since Demon's Souls, but the very nature of the Conquered demands that the Conquerors come first. Why? Because Conquers beat the path and light the way. Afterward, like mold or a rot, the Conquered seep into the community, ever at the heels of the Conquerors.
How is that? Either by a lack of information upon release or due to a self-imposed restriction, the Conqueror goes in blind. Conquerors embrace the challenge From Software has extended with each release in their Souls/Bloodborne Series while the Conquered abhor it. While Conquerors scratched and clawed their way through levels and boss fights, the Conquered poured over FAQs, Strategy Guides, Wiki Articles, Google Search Results, Let's Plays and How to Videos.
Therefore the Conquered subsist by virtue of the illumination spread over From's games by the Conquerors, entirely dependent on it. Overtime they've let themselves forget this, fancying themselves old hands as they bring their borrowed knowledge and tactics to bear on each successive release.
And then here comes fucking Nioh, reminding the Conquered who they really are. And with little to no documentation in sight they hide behind shitposts so they can cling to that "gud" status they worked so hard to attain. Eventually they'll be back. Once the Conquerors have shown the way, that is.
And that's why The Mark of the Conqueror is significant. No matter how superficial, uselessly cosmetic or quickly outclassed it is, it stills says I'm not this nigga >>335918337 No, I'm a Conqueror.
I think they should remove all pointless Dark Souls similarities to end all of this
the combat it self is great and has nothing to do with souls and they game is better without:
1- bonfires(instead of making it function like bone fire it will be better if they change it to a vendor like the vendors in NG, DMC and Bayonetta)
2- no pause...... seriously why take this from Souls?
3- weapon/armor durability
4- gestures
5- bloodstained 2.0
I think the game will be much better without any of those
manual save would be nice too.
>>335916716
seriously why the fuck cant I beat this demo? souls games are fucking easy compared.
though it doesn't help that the control scheme is just a jumbled souls scheme so I'm constantly fucking up button presses
>>335919616
So really you just want another Onimusha instead of a Souls-like.
>>335916796
Resets everything: shortcuts, non-respawning enemies, and loot.
Corpse dialogues and boss cinematic on't reset though, but I think there's a setting for that.

Is there any reason to use any of these shitty 110 damage sword rather than this ridiculous 300 damage axe? Also is there any reason to use high or low stances?

>>335919784
The only buttons that are shaerd with souls are movement and camera controls. Everything else, from items to attacks to stances, are in completely different buttons.
If it makes you feel any better, they'll probably include a souls-like control scheme in the final game (current one is locked on Control A).
>>335920328
Yes. faster, can break Ki gauge better. Swords are actually the strongest in the game because of the Raikri or whatever you get after the second boss.
also if you aren't building Heart you aren't increasing Sword damage.
>>335920328
High is good for hitting frog zombies and low is good against ninja yokai, for example.
I use low katana all the time, the constant free ki pulses are really nice.

What's the best weapon or armor you've all found?
It seems like the drops just get better and better, their's a lot of unique and legendary items to be found.
How the fuck does the ki system work
Why do I sometimes flash blue
When should I tap r1
>>335922304
Experiment and find out
>>335922304
Tap R1 when white bar completely overlaps with red bar, before green bar starts rising. It's like GoW active reload, the later you do it the better, but if you do it too late you don't get anything.
This is going to sound like the try-hardest thing ever, but I wish the Onis respawned
It feels too easy making it through certain segments without them.
When is this out anyway?
>>335922273
Well yeah. the higher your level and the further you are in a mission the better shit is given.
Bet weapon is the sword given to you for beating the second boss.
>>335922304
This >>335922732
But there's also a particle effect that swirls around your dude that you can watch for timing without having to look up at the bar
You can also do this by dodging if you're in Low stance.

The only thing I hate about this is the lack of decent targeting and the camera. The combat seems pretty good but it always feels like the AI knows when you release block.

it's worth getting atleast one magic buff and the exploding shuriken
>>335923973
Magic is great, haven't tried ninjutsu. The purification talisman makes the Nue fight way easier, and the slowdown talisman is simply too good.
Don't try to minmax, you get lots of skillpoints and you will want to switch weapons depending on enemies and drops anyways. I do recommend thst you prioritize katana, feels the most versatile and it looks cool.
What's the link between this and onimusha? People keep mentioning it.
>>335923973
magic is worth it to slap elemental debuffs on enemies and dispel greyscale smog. ninjutsu is worth it for exploding fire shuriken but not much else.

>>335924308
Just that some people who worked on Onimusha have been working on this, I think.
Are the equipment circles around revenants info just to show you what they were wearing, or do the colours indicate they have a better chance of dropping that type of item?

I think they're dev graves. They seem to drop more shit.

>>335920690
The second Oni I encountered after the third shrine right down in the street with the fire, was that a Ninja Yokai? I did get killed by that twice. Beat the fucker with a high stance.
>>335924992
It's funny because the game is absolute trash, yet everyone here is talking about it. And it's always like this,it's as if people here actually fucking enjoy really really bad games.
To much shit weapons drop for me, I hope it's just a demo thing.
>>335925349

>>335925512
I have one Legendary 300 damage katana, and one Rare 312 damage hammer, what's your level?
>>335916716
Why is weapon and armor durability so low? I know plenty of gear and repair items drop. But constantly repairing and changing equipment is so tedious. I hope they up the durability and give you a way to repair at the shrines. Other than that I wouldn't change much. MAYBE let you buy elixirs or give you more than three. Three wasn't much considering how aggressive certain enemies can be.

>>335925660
you can find more elixirs from enemies or get them by making offerings at a shrine
>>335925660
Agree about exilirs, if you do get into a shit situation, having 10 won't save you as you can't chug through hits.
>>335924992

>>335925125
No, dev graves are any with red names. My first time through each mission I fought each of them.
The glowing ones guarantee certain equipment drops in addition to anything else they might randomly drop. Like the one in the cave guarded by the ninja oni at the end of the first mission (fuck those ninja oni, by the way. Holy shit) will drop his fire katana.
>>335925336
Yeah, the 2kat backflipping ones. High also works but I found low to be fadter, you can attack / dash / attack and catch his backflips, and the short recovery lets you iframe through his attacks.

>>335917519
When you stand next to them, it gives you a vague idea of their loadout, so if they have a rare weapon, it'll show the sword/axe/polearm icon as yellow/magenta/blue. Same goes for armor.
Also, what exactly is the mechanic for staggering a yokai? I read that if you hit them after they do a big miasma move, it's easier to deplete, but it always seems to happen randomly.
Also how do I do an unarmed parry?
So who uses Axes/Hamers here?
>>335919784
>seriously why the fuck cant I beat this demo? souls games are fucking easy compared.
Because you're playing it like a souls game. Despite the similarities, this is a different beast.

Doesn't really matter to me so either or is fine.
>2- no pause...... seriously why take this from Souls?
What's wrong with it? You just need to kill one or two enemies that might walk a path and you're fine just sitting in one place for an extended period of time
>3- weapon/armor durability
Although I feel like the weapons degrade way too quickly, I can understand why they did it (or at least assume so). I think it's placing emphasis on actually getting good with your weapon instead of finding some fantastic weapon with great scaling etc. After playing for a couple hours you should be fine using any weapon regardless of its stats. Again though, it's really annoying having to replace equipment so often.
>4- gestures
Another point that I don't really care about. I don't see a reason not to have them though. It's just a way to communicate in a game that you can't really communicate.
>5- bloodstained 2.0
I only dislike this because a revenant, or whatever they're called, is insanely easy and give a fair amount of amrita as well as some decent equipment. Just makes the game a bit easier than I think it should be.
I hope they improve the AI because right now they are so easy to exploit.
>>335927198

>>335927654
>>335927670
First I started upgrading skill/dex because I figured a lighter weapon like a katana would need that or at least the spear. Then I actually checked the scaling and felt like a retard. I think everything is default except 14 body 12 heart 10 stamina and 15 skill. So it's not too bad and it's just a demo.
>>335916716
I wasn't feeling it, I'll continue to play but I'll blog how I feel about it, maybe I'm missing something but I feel like enemies do a bit too much damage
One of my major gripes is that I like the fighting; the stances and the options are great
What I don't like is having to lure out the guys with rocks to 1v1 them. Considering the damage the enemies do if you some how mess up, your chances of survival drop even more if another guy joins in
I'm still on the first area, I was playing around after work so maybe I just wasn't in the right mindset for it and I'm not giving it a fair chance
It's new to me but at the same time, I'm ready
Completely love the setting too
I don't like unusual/rare drops. I like the concept of special item drops and I like the novelty of wearing the best stat boosting gear and your character looking like the got dressed blind, I had a lot of fun doing that in TEKKEN 6 Campaign Mode
Obviously, the armours are more in theme rather than a suit jacket with a beanie and camo pants like T6 but I feel the stat bonuses
Anyways, that's how I feel about it
Feel free to yell git gud, I'll keep trying it out when I'm not so tired
(does the trial end on Monday?)
TL:DR
like it so far but enemies do too much damage
feel like combat is designed for 1v1 and I'm sick of throwing rocks
>>335928078
You can easily 4v1 once you get some decent armor and level up a bit.
>>335926340
Looks like it's gonna be the next Bloodborne. Rev up them goldfaces family.
>>335928078
>having to lure out the guys with rocks to 1v1 them.
you could just use a bow
you can even one shot people with a headshot
>>335928446
This. The bow makes the game a damn breeze.
>>335928078
Level up and get gear, then when you fight multiple enemies kite them, poke them when they come for you but watch out if they are in high stance and in the middle of an attack they have "poise" and those attack do a lot of damage
>>335928221
well, of course you can do that once you level up but I've only done a little dex and str for armours
>>335928446
I did pick up a bow, I just didn't use it
I suppose they want it necessary but I don't personally like to use bows
I feel like the katana is shafted with its durability being so low. Having low durability compared to the rest of the weapons is fine, but I feel maybe it's just that little bit too low
Not really into katanas
I picked up an axe, a bronze mallet, 2 spears, 2 different bows and 3 different katanas
>>335928078
>What I don't like is having to lure out the guys with rocks to 1v1 them.
You don't have to. It's possible to fight multiple enemies.It's FUN.Basically you suck. Keep at it, get better, level up and pick up better gear to increase survivability. Also unlock all defensive skills. Then get in there and play it like Batman or AssCreed, but the game requires discipline and intentional input. None of that pleb shit you find in other games.
>>335928078
Use midstance with staff to hit multiple enemies.
Also learn to use the 2 different parried on katana midstance.
Use triangle parry against people you are not locked on and attack wile the animation plays to make them fall over, this will take them off your back for a few seconds or if no one else is near you, you could even switch to high stance quickly and stab them while on the ground.
Use square parry for big damage against your main single target or just or other enemies on low health.
Also block obviously, its better if you can dodge, but if not just block.
>>335928846
I played all of the Souls games. It doesn't mean shit, but I anticipate a lot of things. I also played one of the Ninja Gaiden, I think it was Black
Still, it'll just take getting used to. I just don't want to rely on levelling up or something but it seems necessary because of armour requirements though I actually liked running around as a topless samurai

That's a good idea, I unlocked a bunch of skills but I suppose I should try variety, there's no issue in dying except, well, my weapon and armour durabilities... I block light stance enemies and sometimes mid, but I tend to be in mid stance and don't use heavy or light
I make use of the ki pulse too, I understand most of the mechanics I've been taught so far, it's just getting mashed by level 1 enemies
>>335929810
you can beat the game naked at level 1 if you want
but if you're having trouble with the game then fucking level up and use the bow and stop pretending you're too hardcore
Why is it that every single "difficult" game that came out in the last 15 years has god awful grab hit boxes?
Don't get me wrong, I just finished both Nioh levels and it was a pretty good experience, fairly challenging especially off the back of Dark Souls 3 being piss easy, but holy shit those grab hitboxes on the Zombies + some of the big enemies are really fucking bad.
>>335929320
You'll get there, it just takes time to get into a flow, I was in the first part of the first level for like 2-3 hours before it all clicked and I started playing better.
I still die, but no where near as often as I did.
>>335930251
I'll agree with you on the Zombies
I'm going to get meme'd here probably but remember that this -is- an alpha. Fill out the survey and complain about the grab boxes.
How much should I invest in stamina? I feel like the change from light encumbered to medium is fairly significant
So is the defense multiplier or the defense percentage more important in armor? Anyone know?
>>335930532
Yeah you're right it is an Alpha, I'l it just seems like a weird coincidence that grabs are always one of the biggest issues hitbox wise in so many games of recent memory
I will leave feedback though, good idea
Finally get into the house at the top of the hill

How do I deal with this
>>335931140
hit him
dont let him hit you
he doesnt respawn
>>335931140
Don't fight inside the building. Trigger it to spawn and run out into the courtyard so you have room to fight. He's not that hard, just make sure you dodge anything with a long-ish windup because that shit will kill you quick
>>335916716
i only played this game like 20 minutes last night and intend to play more later, but what is the point of the health bar if guys can kill me in 2 hits anyway? may as well just have two health dots with one getting taken away each strike and then one replenished for each health thing?
also those red swords things all over the ground, are those like summon signs where i actually fight another player when i touch one, or is it an npc with the gear of the player who died there?
>>335931725
>or is it an npc with the gear of the player who died there?
This
>>335931725
put on some armor
they're AI controlled player characters that died there

>BB still has a decent fanbase but too much shitposting revolves BB.
this. BB threads are actually pretty good if you filter out every post with "pcuck" "never ever" etc.
>>335931725
You won't get 2 shot after you get armor drops.
The rags you start with have basically no defense.
>>335931725
Well right now you die super easy because you don't have any armor to speak of. Once you start filling all your slots with actual armor, you'll be able to take more hits. You probably also either got hit in the back, or got hit while your stamina was out. Both of these greatly increase the amount of damage you take.
So don't turn your back on your enemy unless you're running the fuck away, and don't let yourself tire out.
>>335930630
Anyone?
IS THIS GAME BETTER THAN DARK SOULS AND BLOODBORNE?
Game seems fun from the videos I've seen, but I'd rather play the full game once it's out instead of the demo.
>>335927091
The Yokai have stamina bars just like humans, but they only drain upon hits and don't recover until a little after it's fully depleted.
That is the whitest looking samurai..
you can't say white people are whitewashing shit when everyone else is doing it too
dont know if it was mentioned before but csn you fix weps and gear?
>>335932127
It's different
If you enjoyed those and don't mind deviation from the formula you will likely enjoy this.
>>335932127
YES!
>>335932286
He is based on a historical figure.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Adams_(sailor)
>>335932286
Are you memeing or did you not get the memo yet somehow?
It's loosely based on this dude: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Adams_%28sailor%29
>>335932305
use whetstones to fix weapons and glue to fix armor
you can get them as drops or making offerings at a shrine
>>335932386
That's cool, but why is he a samurai?
The wiki states he's an explorer, adviser, trader, and helped in infrastructure

>Nioh has more potential than DS3.
I think it'll probably be another Lords of the Fallen. I want it to suceed and am playing the alpha a lot, but I much prefer DS' combat and european atmosphere.
>>335932446
thanks anon
>>335916716
>Still
>Can't
>Play
>>335932583
I suppose
>>335932305
Yes, use glue
>>335932515
Literally says he was a samurai in the first paragraph.
>>335932515
He was a samurai. He received the land and the swords and everything. Read the fucking article.
And William in the game is only loosely based on William Adams. Not everything has to be historically accurate.
>>335932343
Come on man. Bullshit. It lacks the level design, atmosphere and character. Also lack of enemy types, but of course this is just the demo
>>335932515
He was also eventually a Samurai
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVnwewsLj0Q
He was already dead, come the fuck on.
How do kodama blessings worth? Are they temporary, or last until death, etc?
>>335932626
Why not?
>>335932826
I think they're permanent until you change it but not sure
>>335932515
If you click on the contents that says "Western Samurai" it explains.
Of course, it appears him being a samurai was mostly an honorary title, hence the "loosely based on". But the general story (European winds up in Japan and helps a shogun establish control and changes the face of the country forever) is pretty good for a video game, and no more inaccurate than all the yokai that show up.
>>335932826
>>335932926
they stay until you change them
>>335932738
More of an honorific than a sword wielding badass. But whatever, it's a game
>>335932742
>Come on man. Bullshit. It lacks the level design, atmosphere and character. Also lack of enemy types, but of course this is just the demo
Even if DkS 3's atmosphere seems lacking, it'll never amount to what DkS 1 was for me.
>>335932936
Looks Identical to gearlt though. There's definitely pandering

Game is convinced I'm not online, because an always online demo is a thing. Kicks me, will not let me progress. Through 3 reinstalls.
I'm shitposting in these shill threads until someone has had the same problem.
I just want to play
>>335932936
To be honest, knowing Kurosawa, the original intention was to use the foreigner in a way that made Japan look odd to the viewer. You're supposed to be seeing it through the eyes of someone that isn't used to the culture, and in that respect it paints it in a different light.
It's possible they're still going to use that element and combine it with the whole yokai thing to make it an even stranger place.
>>335933037
I was never fond of Dark Souls 1 myself because I had already played Demons Souls. Everything felt like a retread of Demons Souls almost beat for beat up to Anor Londo, and then everything after Anor Londo felt so haphazard like they had no idea what they were doing.
Crystal Cavern was probably the only time I actually felt like I saw something new.
Dark Souls 1 didn't feel like it was doing its own thing until Artorias was released.
>>335933157
No fuck you
Every other game is flawless

Was designed before Geralt, funny enough.
Also he's blond, not white-haired, but it's hard to tell with the game's lighting
>>335933142
Never said there wasn't pandering. The first comment was about whitewashing, then whether or not he was a samurai.
What I'm most surprised about is the fact that this Koei Tecmo/Team Ninja game has had precisely zero big anime titty ladies show up.
Eagerly awaiting sexy big titty yokai in the beta build.
>>335933432
i had the problem at first
moved my router a bit and tried again
the game still sometimes freezes because it lost connection, but it always comes back
>>335933432
To post on TK\s facebook or something
>>335930251
It's mostly the animations that are a problem. It makes sense to take damage from a sword slash that hit your foot, but grabs that barely hit teleport you to the appropriate position so the animation can play out.
With that said, I'm pretty sure the Dancer has a bullshit grab as well.
>>335933628
>was designed before Geralt
Literally fuck off, the Witcher didn't start with 3.
>>335925512
Pick them up and offer them to the shrine for whetstones and elixir
>>335933142
Except Nioh started development in 2004, years before The Witcher games existed.
>>335933432
Can you get online with other games? Maybe its your PS4.
>>335933723
Witcher 1 was 2007
Ni-Oh was originally announced in 2004
>>335933723
>Witcher didn't start with 3.
And the Witcher didn't come out in 2004
>>335933723
Ni-Oh was in development before Witcher 1 you fucking pleb. This shit was supposed to be a launch title for PS3 and the design for William hasn't changed since 2005.
>>335933683
I'll try anything

How long did it take you guys to beat this demo? I'm about 3 hours in and feel no closer to finishing it than I did when I started. And there's another level? Jesus Christ
I just got an erection using High-Low stance switching fighting Nue
That's normal right
>>335934281
About four hours. I kept making dumb mistakes on bosses.
The stats don't make any sense though.
>>335934281
I played about 4 hours, but an hour of that was just on Nue because I didn't realise there was a bonfire literally 20 steps to his right in that locked area, I was having to clear enemies every single time I died.
So how does encumber net affect you? Is it just the three tiers, light/med/heavy, or Des the actual value matter? Like will I be clunker/regen slower with 60% vs 30%, despite both being medium encumbered?
>>335934281
the second area is shorter but it has tougher enemies
>>335916716
Now there are two games that make me want a PS4 really bad, can't wait until they're cheap as hell in five years.
Is there any other games that have something similar to the Ki system? I really wanted to try this game but I don't have a PS4, and the whole pressing a button to get more Ki is pretty cool
>>335934281
It should take anywhere from 4-8 hours depending on how good you are.
>>335934324
Man when you get those combos going and have the ki pulse bonus for stance switching unlocked you basically have unlimited stamina and endless style. It gets me erect doing heaven slashes into ki pulse shit.
>>335934434
>waiting 5 years to play games you want to play, just to save 100 bux
>>335934281
I played it in two segments but somewhere around 3-4 hours
>>335934490
I couldn't even find use in the Ki active reloading shit honestly, most enemies die before it's even useful.
how long does it take to fucking summon someone in this game
>>335933865
What about them books though? Didn't they come out in 1995.
>>335934618
I own an Atari 2600, an NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Boy, GBC, GBA, Playstation, PS2, Gamecube, XBOX, X360, PS3, XBONE, NDS, PSP, 3DS, and a mid-range PC with a lifetime of games, and I still play all of these pretty regularly except the Atari, NES, and Game Boys, which are cleaned twice a year but rarely played, and the PS2 era stuff which is at my parents' house. I don't have a pressing need to buy another console when I have so many games. Nioh looks sick as fuck though.
>>335932386
>>335932415
>Looks like "Western Samurai" is a link
Oh, cool, I want to know more about western samurai as a whole
>Go to click on it
>It's two separate links to "Western" and "Samurai"
Fuck
>>335935008
Is your implication that the Devs of a Samurai game in 2004 decided to copy their character design from a semi-obscure fantasy novel?
>>335935008
i'm sure some japanese devs read obscure polish books that didnt even get english translations before 2008
>>335935135
He's also implying that Japan has never once utilized the silver haired swordsman ever in their media.
>>335935135
I wasn't that anon saying Witcher was a copy of Nioh. I'm just saying that the design for Geralt could have been possibly before 2007 when the Witcher 1 came out.
>>335935739
* I meant Nioh was a copy of Witcher.
