Not long left now, have you completed it yet? Have you at least got your mark?
I'am a Conqueror, bitch!
>>336607157
Just completed it today, I had it download for a while now but didn't have enough time to play, then i found out it's a timed demo so i had to finish it soon. Great experience, one of the best demos I've ever played, definitely going to pick of the main game.
I didn't know it was timed, when does it end?
>>336607157
I didn't even get past the first few enemies.
I beat the first boss, but the second is just too much of a pain in the ass to get to from the respawn point.
I had a great time with it, i had more fun playing this than the whole of DS3.
The game is hard but the combat is so fun, its like ninja gaiden with stamina management. But the ki pulse makes skill rewarded by allowing for long combos.
good game looking forward to it.
>>336607957
You do know there's a second shrine right next to the boss door, right?
Yes, but I only played it for like an hour rushing to the end. I didn't really understand a lot about its mechanics.
>>336607957
There's a door you can unlock to the right of the boss gate, you need a key, though (hug the left wall and reach the left side of the temple, there's a chest there and it contains the key).
>>336607157
how do you redeem the mark?
the store page wont load for me
>>336607157
Can the mark even be downloaded right now? I got it on the day the demo went out, but it just takes me to the page, says I got it but doesn't let me download shit, even when going to the page again.
>>336607739
this
>tfw no ps4yet ;_;
>>336607739
They're not hard, just go high stance and kill them in 2-3 hits each. Now when you enter harbor district, that's when shit gets real.
I don't really like control layout, particularly the stance change, I think it would work better bound to d-pad.
Axe > katana > spear > hammer
Just sayan.
>>336609046
But anon... Axe and Hammer are the same weapon.
>>336609354
But they do different type of damage.
Got my mark last weekend then stopped, I didn't want to grind and spoil to much for myself
>Finally beat the first boss
>"Wow what a great demo, i would have never expected this much content."
>There's a second level
It does feel a bit tacked on, being short and with all those enemies just piled up infront of the boss door, but still that was quite amazing.
>>336607157
I beat it in one 6-8 hour sitting. I liked it and greatly look forward to the final product.
ITT: terrible boss designs?
I sure hope final game will have decent environment variety, the demo looks terrible on the visual front, just a muddy village at night with a few almost sprite fires scattered around. And considering old Japanese architecture it doesn't seem like it would be able to stand against souls series with their gothic cathedrals and fantasy castles.
i beat it and got all the little green dudes too.
idk if i'll buy it tho desu, it was ok but not something i want to really spend money on...
>>336611094
The demo takes place in japanese undead settlement, read the mission description. Have you seen japanese castles and shrines? They can get pretty big yknow.
>>336611331
I think he means the details inside those castles rather than pure scale.
i've died to the first boss more than 90% of souls bosses. that and the fact that if youre farming exp and someone gets summoned, you can't level up, and then lose all that exp to dying to the boss makes this game really unfun
Stuck on the first boss. Got any tips? He seems pretty slow but using just using quick attacks takes forever to chip away at his health.
When is time up on the demo? I keep forgetting to download it
So you don't have to complete the whole demo to get the dlc bonus?
>>336611476
I barely even bothered with levelling up, randomized loot pretty much guarantees that in time you'll get a weapon that deals fuckload more damage. I really think they made mistake of using this diabolo-liek system, it fucked up Darksiders 2 gameplay and it fucks up Ni-Oh as well.
>>336611607
Don't dash or roll, just run. It uses less Ki, it's faster and since he's slow he won't hit you.
>>336611607
You can block the chains when he sweeps but you can't block his balls. Save up a living weapon and activate it once the chains break and he gets into his second form for an easy win.
>>336611607
You can block the ball and chain when he spins without much trouble. Use bombs.
>>336611607
Don't get greedy
>evade attack
>hit him 1-2 times
>get away from him for the spin
When he loses the chains you can either do the same or just stay on the other side of the room and lob bombs at him after evading balls.
>>336611607
use a weapon with elemental damage
where is the mark of the conqueror in your data? it prompted me to download it after i beat the first stage but no progress bar came up and i dont see it in my storage?
>>336613090
There's nothing to download yet, for now it's just a digital license tied to your account through the PSN store
Shoulda made the mark for defeating the Nue, the Onryoki was too ez... well Nue was too
Beat it. Lots of fun, but the Nue boss was poorly designed. They really need to balance stuff out, the poor thing doesn't even stand a chance if you just go low stance katana to stagger his ribs and then pop living weapon. Then if you don't cheese him out like that, he's a total damage sponge, so you pretty much have to.
It's understandable given that the game is still a while off, but you have to worry the whole game might have balance issues like that.
Still great though, definitely going to pick it up when it's out
>>336611607
If you use that "prevent demon auras from draining your ki/regain stamina faster" scroll, you'll do a ton of damage.
That's how I killed him. My weak sword strikes wih the upper stance were doing almost 500 damage.
That and you'll nullify his evil aura so you won't have to worry about stamina
Beat boat guy, beat Nue, got every kodama and killed myself with the sudoku sword. 10/10 would play again
>>336609046
You couldn't be more wrong
Spear high stance > EVERYTHING if you have to get good at something get good at that and you will dominate the game
I beat the first boss but I didn't get the Chidori spear?
Finally beat that faggot Nue.
I really, really hope that they don't just nerf spirit mode into oblivion. In a game like this, you really should be able to do some overpowered things once in a while.
barely got it in time last night
feels bad how many tries onryoki took but my problem might be my choice of weapon (I put all my points in hammer shit because it was good against normal enemies). Once I realized that you can basically obliterate its ki with high stance attacks I got it down.
how do i progress in stage 2? i see a broken bridge but no ramp to get up to out of the pond
>>336616836
There's one back near the beginning of the level. Further on there are trees you can topple to make further ramps.
I got Mark of The Conqueror after a couple of hours the day it was released, I've just been too lazy to turn my PS4 on again to finish the second level. I'll just play it when it releases, whatever. Even though it's just a demo it's still the best game I've played in years, I just don't have much motivation to try and beat a game that I only have access to for a limited time.
Why does summoning a visitor take so long?
>>336619556
Not many people are trying to be summoned I guess.
>>336619556
It used to be instant, but the demo period is ending. So I doubt many people are left playing it.
Any word on when it will be released for PC?
I've played the alpha daily, probably 20 hours or more in. I have a lvl 43 and a lvl 1 I've been trying to beat first boss with, but I fail once I reach his second form. Still, I'm in love /v.
>>336611607
Bait his attacks, use low stance to dash into range and hit him once, then kick him. Repeat four times and his Ki will be gone. Then wail on him with supah saiyan mode.
>>336620539
i hope soon the framarate on movie mode is shit and action mode looks like ps3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Q0_D0nykqk&list=WL&index=10
3 on 1
>>336611607
Katina low stance, combo into kick until he staggers, living weapon the fuck out of him in mid stance. He should have varying degrees of health below halfway now, use sloth talisman and high stance axe until he's done. Bonus if you also have the ninja traps scattered all over the floor
>>336620838
Oh shit
>>336611607
>water element talisman
>katana high stance
>spam triangle twice after he attacks
>once his chains break activate living weapon water style
>spam triangle while dodging his 3 hit thrash attacks
>do not bother trying to hit him when he uses those balls
>do not stand in that gray/black mist he puts around him, it depletes your ki
there you go, in and out in less than 5 minutes.
FYI: I beat him at level 25 and put all my stats into stamina before realizing it caps at 20, then only gives +1 ki per level.
>>336607157
>tfw I'm stuck on the boat boss
Reeeeeee
I thought it ended yesterday?
>>336622896
Summon someone, you better beat it soon or you'll be conquered forever.
>>336607157
lol it's so shit. literally a ripoff of dark souls
>>336623216
It's literally nothing like Dark Souls other than a few design choices.
Finally beat that Onryoki...
Where my Late Night Shark Bros at?
>>336623115
We're still able to play it but they said it ends 5th May so it'll be committing sudoku any time now.
>>336623337
it is. literally just a different theme. I was expecting a totally unique experience like ninja gaiden and this is is the shit we got
how do you get on top of the castle and the nearby building in stage 2? i see no ladders
>>336623592
You gotta walk up the trees.
>>336623216
>>336623495
Please explain how you quickly regain Ki after an attack.
If you cannot answer this question you must accept the title of 'shitposter'.
>>336623495
>literally just a different theme
There are Souls mechanics in there like having to get your Amrita back when you die, but it has obvious differences.
>>336622568
I'm level 13. Think I missed something. Going to just try starting the demo over. Weapons have been getting worn down and I think I'll ease into it better if I reatart. Shouldn't take me long to get back here now that I'm not going in blind.
>>336623870
i cant reach the one on top of the hut still, rolling doesnt cut it
>>336624746
That one depends on positioning. It's possible to just simple run off the edge at the right angle to land on the lower one.
Please. Does anyone know what time the demo ends?
I'm off in 4 hours and in afraid I'll end up conquered
>>336625151
They said it ends 5th May so it'll be committing sudoku any time now.
Love the gameplay.
The armor and weapon degradation is awful though. Not a fan of everyone being the same guy either
mfw i summon someone to nue and they die immediately. what element hurts him anyway?
>>336623216
The only similarity is experience points being lost on death with a "grave" left behind until you recover it or die again. Not one other thing is similar or exclusive to the Souls IP.
>>336625437
Heh, I feel the same way.
I just beat Nue about 15 minutes ago, and yesterday I made several attempts to beat him but my armor and weapon were worn down to nothing. Still, the game lets you use weapons even if the durability is zero, and I stil beat both bosses with no durability left on the armor and weapons. i just don't really think about it because it's too much of a bother.
>>336625542
Several times I've summoned assholes that don't even help. They just stand their and use one of the continuous emotes
I downloaded mine through the HK PSN, and pic related pop up at 3am May 6th of my time. So yeah I assume everyone's demo will expire the same way depending on your time zone.
>tfw no more Nioh threads after today
>>336626220
Are you saying I have until 3 am?!
I'm contemplating burning down my work place to leave and get my mark
>>336626220
>>336626552It's 10 am in didgerydooland on the 6th and I'm still playing
>>336626332
Soon enough we'll have a full badass game to play.
Speaking of which, do we know how much content they plan to have on release? I don't expect it to be as long as a Souls game, but hopefully it's not short, like under 30 hours.
>>336626981
How is the leveling going to work? I mean the demos first level looks to be the real first level and people are getting leveling up like 15 times.
How do I put down my sign for others? I've beaten both stages of the demo four times on four separate characters and still haven't figured this out.
>>336627237
I want to know that too. I was level 21 after the second level, without grinding.
>>336627298
You need to go back to the map screen (himorogi branch if you're in a level right now) select one of the two levels and press 'square' for matchmaking.
Be warned it's pretty fucked up.
I CAN'T FIND THE FUCKING WARRIOR KODAMA ON THE SECOND LEVEL
IT'S THE LAST ONE I NEED
PLEASE HELP
>>336627659
>KODAMA
what do they even do?
>>336627756
Nothing really, buff drop rates of items.
Collecting all of them does nothing, but I'm 14/15 and I FUCKING WANT IT.
>>336627237
>>336627454
I feel like any less than 10 levels and this demo would be a mistake.
>>336627659
>>336627878
I don't know which one the warrior one is, but I seem to remember that there was one near the second shrine. Did you get that one?
Revenants are too easy. They absolutely cannot deal with you blocking
dying in one shot by enemies how do I stop this bullshit?
>>336628567
I found it. Literally right at the beginning of the level.
>>336629135
Dodge and block.
>>336629135
Block, dodge, find armour, raise body.
>>336629135
Stop using all your stamina and don't get hit in the back
>>336629221
Oh that one. Congrats. I'm on my way to get the one I missed from the first level. Wish me luck.
>Summon a guy for the boss, try to help but get my shit kicked in and he's promptly sent back
>Try again but this time I just stand back, throw bombs and shoot arrows
You're a conqueror.
;_;
I'm sorry, I'll do the boss again and solo it.
>>336630038
Woops wrong thread. Ignore.
So what did you fill in your survey anons?
>>336630278
More quick item slots.
>summon help
>they always die in two seconds
>get summoned as help
>host always dies in two seconds
How is everyone so bad at this game?
JUST LET ME BEAT THE LEVEL FOR YOU REEEE
>>336630952
/v/ and a few people uploading to YouTube are literally the 1%.
>can't beat nue
help
>>336630278
Improved asset fidelity.
Shit is muddy as fuck and I don't like it.
>muh gramfics
>>336631904
I'd say summon but most people are so garbage that you'll have an easier time beating him yourself.
Take sharky and build up ki charge killing trash. lure Nue into the entrance doorway, activate it and you should be able to shave off 80% of his health. Prepare water amulets too, they fuck his shit right up.
>>336630278
I told them that everything was perfect. The only suggestion I made was that maybe they should drop the durability system.
What I should have told them, but forgot to, was to NOT CHANGE THE DIFFICULTY. It's perfect, but I remember someone mentioning here that it might get toned down because of casuals. Man, I don't even consider myself hardcore and I thought it was perfect. Hopefully Team Ninja will stay true to their roots and not change it.
Oh, the other thing I loved about the levels was that there was a shrine next to every boss. I wish Demon's Souls was like that so that you didn't have to backtrack through half the level again just to learn how to fight the boss.
>>336631904
Stay away and wait for the opportunity. The best time to hit him is when he lunges at you for the bite but then misses and ends up crumpled on the floor. Then you run around to his belly and start attacking. I did this with low stance katana, and you can keep him stunlocked for about 12 hits.
Also remember to dodge his roll, and to run around (not sprint, just regular run) when he shakes around and drops the lightning from the sky.
>>336632138
I also like that you get to queue for Co-Op from the menu rather than having to fuck around in-world.
>>336607739
This. I hope that reward isn't that great.
>>336632054
>>336632438
Cheers lads, nailed him, sound advice
>>336607739
>>336608442
>>336632768
>tfw clearing out the entire level for shitters
keep summoning lads
>tfw people are too fucking stupid to just follow you through the level
>>336607157
I just beat Nue, and I was so hyped from winning, I went back and beat both the missions again.
When the fuck is the full release, I need this game in my life.
>>336634920
>tfw you could be bathing Elephants or sky diving in some exotic land having a real life full of wondrous experiences but instead we sit on our asses playing games we won't care about shortly down the road
Reminder that you ain't a real nigga if you didn't beat the second boss
>tfw just killed the Onryoki
Sprinting is way more useful than it should.
>>336630278
Told them the bosses and larger enemies had too much health and it was annoying to fight them
Drop system is shit and they should focus on quality over quantity with equipment
Lack of repair options other than rare consumable item drops is really annoying and you should be able to spend your souls/money at shrines to repair them
Yes I beat both bosses
>>336636487
*should be
>>336610816
is this loss?
>>336630278
What survey? I beat Nue, but I don't remember anything like that.
>>336637452
http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/form/nioh_us
>>336635770
What? No, fuck you
>neo Team Ninja made a somewhat decent game
How is this possible?
>>336636198
I can't... I'm getting better little by little but probably not fast enough to complete it before the demo ends.
>>336638261
hang out under the entrance so the lightning wont hit you(and more importantly won't leave demon aura or whatever it is) then get his stamina to zero, once you do, pop the fish spirit animal trigger and go to town stunlocking him to death
>>336611607
I'm back. Finally did it guys. Thanks for the help. Was worried I wasn't going to make it before the demo went down.
>>336638207
It's not actually that hard to make a game like Demon's Souls. I like Fromsoft, but they're kinda mediocre as far as devs go.
>>336630278
temple-chan is the best
>>336607157
i never found to the time to download this demo and I've never played Souls games before so I'm missing out
>>336636487
End he jumps over you a lot in the second form
>>336633504
Congrats.
>>336637452
If you look at the manual, it says to go to the URL to fill out the survey.
>Solo'd boatman
>Found all the kodamas
>Shoo shoo'd the Nue Nue solo
Feels so fucking good. This is a return to form for Team Ninja.
All the samurai gear is legit, and they even let us get some legendary weapons by the end of the demo.
>>336639536
The electricity sound effect on Raikiri is annoying as fuck. I hope they done it down. It shouldn't crackle nonstop.
>>336638804
excuse me baka gaijin
its a shinsha
>>336630278
Generally it's all pretty good, but I wanted music that stood out more. I also requested a Ryu Hayabusa revenant.
If we're lucky they'll have a dragon sword weapon in the final game.
>>336632054
>play through and beat the demo solo
>killed Nue on second attempt
>fought him a bunch more times to see if I could grind out better weapons
>at the point where I can kill the boss without taking a hit
>decide to help people with him
>every fucking time do something stupid and get bodied in the first few seconds
I don't get it. I just don't get it.
>>336630278
Tutorial messages are spread out too far apart and the text is too small. I'm not too fond of finding a bunch of copies of the same weapon with random effects either and the durability system is a bit fucked. I'd like if you could repair your equipment with gold, since it doesn't do anything aside from kodama blessings AFAIK.
Grab attack are also really annoying since they're just as fast as regular attacks and you can't do anything about them once you're grabbed. I got hit by attacks I'd definitely dodged or blocked too.
we have katanas, axes, and spears but since there are ninjas in game will we possibly get to use ninja swords and movesets? we already have jujutsu
>>336640219
Dragon Sword and/or Dark Dragon Blade would be great.
>>336640503
I imagine we might see Kusarigamas or Daggers too.Maybe even some Chinese Shortswords.
Post your conquerers
Have KT yanked the server yet?
>>336640364
>I'd like if you could repair your equipment with gold, since it doesn't do anything aside from kodama blessings AFAIK
A blacksmith is mentioned a couple of times, so presumably that's also where your gold'll be going.
>mfw i beat the first boss at level 9
how the fuck were you people like level 25 and shit?
>>336620838
man crazy shit like this is why i love Nioh
good balance between pure madness and grounded action RPG IMO
>>336620838
The juggles are some silly stuff
>>336620838
how come the stamina does not drain much?
also what are the differences between the inbued elements?
>>336642289
At some point of the video he uses the Ki Talisman so i think its that
I wish we could just play it in an offline mode when the alpha goes down. Here's to hoping they extend this a few more days. Looks like Team Ninja is finally moving back up.
>>336608895
Nah, stanch change is just fine and easy to adapt to. Especially since you can ki pulse into a new stance and benefit from that one skill.
Binding it to the d-pad means you'd have to claw if you wanted to move and stance dance at the same time.
But having to option to remap the controls is a must.
>>336642453
If it gets extended I'll be pretty unimpressed considering how many people I helped get their mark over the past few hours.
>>336621298
The floor ninja traps work on this boss? Goddamn, I love how this game is shaping up.
Just the fact that you can stamina break, stagger, and debilitate not just enemies but the bosses, too, was enough to sell me on Nioh.
does this game have autistic weapon blacksmithing and shit? I love when deeply japanese games have ultra fucking autistic item editing stuff.
Just looking at some random stuff about it so i dont have a great picture of the game yet
>>336636537
>Lack of repair options other than rare consumable item drops is really annoying and you should be able to spend your souls/money at shrines to repair them
The low durability isn't going to be a problem if they're going to keep the Diablo tier loot drop rates. You should get plenty of glue and whetstones from donating all of the shit that enemies drop.
Using souls to repair weapons would be the worst idea ever. If they're going to do that, they might as well just remove durability in the first place.
>>336640736
Stamina? Maybe Heart is what you wanted
>>336643098
No blacksmith so far
The game mentions those tho, so who knows on the full game.
>>336643321
Stamina does health, equip weight, and damage.
I wanted to B-mobility full warlord but didn't count on the level up requirements jacking up so much in the late 30s
>level 42-43
>200,000 amarita
JUST
>>336620838
>those juggles on enemies that are about to fall off ledges
Damn, that's a really clever way to rack up extra damage.
>>336643310
I never got glue or whetstones from donating, I only ever seemed to get spirit gems and the healing items.
>The low durability isn't going to be a problem if they're going to keep the Diablo tier loot drop rates.
And the diablo loot is annoying, inventory cluttering, time wasting shit so I hope they rethink it.
>>336643659
I found you can reliably get stones and glue from the crates inside the boat demon's arena.
>>336640736
If you'd put just one point in Spirit, you would have gotten a passive from any of your spirit animals. Fire Fox gives you +20% ki recovery speed.
Not my pic, by the way.
>>336643849
Yeah, I actually put my 42nd level into spirit just then.
Not that it makes a difference, given that the game is presumably going down in a few hours.
>>336643849
I forgot to mention that Fire Fox gives you that ki recovery passive at Spirit 10.
>>336643597
Something about this mechanic of them falling off ledges to their death after you nothing personnel them is just lovely
>>336643957
Yeah, good point.
>>336643659
I noticed that when I'm capped on elixers (and glue/whetstones, I assume as well) then I only get spirit stones.
I started using that as a way to stock up on them, to help out with early levelling whenever I got into a pinch or was just shy of meeting the next level requirement.
Demo is kill
I wasn't able to get the free DLC
I had no idea what the fuck I was doing
I found a second shrine and then kept trying to kill an Oni at level 7
I just gave up because I clearly fucked up somewhere. I wish the demo wasn't on a time limit though
>>336645198
level 7 is fine
I beat the first boss at level 11 and there's plenty of time to level up if you're only at the second shrine
>>336642453
You may have helped me anon. Good for you
>>336645437
>there's plenty of time to level up if you're only at the second shrine
did you forget the demo ends like now?
>>336645496
What I mean is he didn't fuck up anywhere. There's nothing wrong with being level 7 at the second shrine
>>336645437
How do you get summoned? I know how to summon but if I want to help someone
>>336645886
Go back to the map screen (using branch in you're in a level), select one of the levels and press square for matchmaking.
>>336646023
Thanks anon
>>336646023
>map screen
?
>>336646315
If you finish a level or use a himorogisdfhlewkj branch you get transported to a flat map screen where you can select either of the two levels or use shrines services. From there your can select matchmaking for either level.
>>336643310
>You should get plenty of glue and whetstones from donating all of the shit that enemies drop.
You get items from donating things? Well holy shit no wonder you barely get any Amrita for doing that.
Why is it no over yet?
>>336642642
fuck stance changing
try doing mid combo weapon switching
Something I haven't seen mentioned much thats pretty cool is the yin yang status where if you give an enemy multiple elemental debuffs they lose all ko, can't get it back with the demon mist, and take very increased damage.
Got my mark. I need this fucking game. Only problem I had was not understanding ki-pulse at first. It should be one of the first things you learn about and should be explained better.

tried it. overwatch was better.
Too hard for me. Will be waiting for a sale though.
is it over?
>>336607157
Oh fuck yea. I'm a conqueror. Just in time
Beat Nue at 10:55 my time last night. I saw some anons posting something about stone soldiers, is there more to the second level?
>>336650174
Nah, The stone soldiers are in a small locked courtyard next to Nue's entrance. There's a shrine in the that makes the trip back to Nue eze modo. If you missed it, it's really not a big deal.
I only got to fuck around in the first area because of responsibilities. I still really enjoyed it and will be getting the game, most likely day one. Wish I'd had more time with it.
got my marki never found the first boss
Doing the survey now, what is UI?
>>336650275
Totally missed it lol, not like the trip back is hard anyway when you open the gate by the first shrine. Spear/ax for life (or until I want to use katana again)
>>336641139
This
>>336623398
Fuck yeah
>>336650357
That's kinda impossible
>>336650357
You cannot miss the first boss and you cannot get the mark without killing the first boss
I FUCKING DID ITwith help
I just needed more time to grind for amrita and better armor

Please respond

Where are you doing the survey?

I defeated Nue for someone without seeing them.
They'd opened the door and fucked off to the over side of the map, and I got tired of waiting so I walked in the boss spawned, door shut, and they were locked out.
Acutally, thinking about it, that probably royally fucked their game over. You'd have to branch out and complete the level again.
Sorry m8.

Thanks.
The controls felt really bad. Tried changing the controls but only "control scheme a" was available.
Died to the second enemy and just went back to ds3
my only problem with this game is they need a better way to tell when you get a back attack on a enemy
>>336651557
But that's still impossible since you can't get to the 2nd level without beating the first boss and I'm pretty sure you can't be summoned unless you choose to be from the mission select screen, which again requires you to be the first level aka the first boss
>>336630278
fix the camera the game makes you fight in a lot of tight spaces and some times the camera will act up and make your character disappear
>>336651779
They should add stealth kills.
>>336651798
Yeah, I know, it was a tangent. It's not possible to beat boat boy without seeing it but it is possible to beat Nue without seeing it.
>>336652036
You have the option to go full ninja, I'm sure they will.

>>336652809
Speaking of, anyone else hoping they scrap the mission select screen for a completely seamless world? Mgsv really turned me off from them.
>>336653118
>scrapping the whole mission formatting six months before release
m8, there's good reason they're citing Demon's Souls over Dark Souls as a primary influence.
>>336653207I never played Demon's Souls, but Bloodborne's constant teleporting in and out to get where I needed/reset mobs got on my nerves after a while.let's not turn this into a souls shitfest tho
>>336607157
I got the mark! I'm in the second area using my baby Maja, the spin attack is so...not great but I love the hammer in High/low stance.
The first boss was cool and easy to dodge except for the chain spin which I realized AFTER beating him I should have blocked if I was still in range rather than trying to dodge through it.
Low stance is super safe with boss fights but also makes them long and tedious since it's low damage
Can anyone tell me what leveling spirit past all the Guardian spirits maximums does? Why are all the guardian spirits level 1? Can I level them up?
>>336607157
Yes, I completed both areas and I'm at level 49. I fucking LOVE the gameplay in this. The wait for the final release is going to be excruciating.
>>336653802
Yeah, the spin2win is garbage. You can swap it out for the AOE slam if you're not into it.
Conqueror reporting in. I made two characters and tried out all the weapons and skills.
Spear is high skill as fuck and really strong. Axe is dumb and easy but also really strong. Katana is in the middle for damage and skill. I hope we get more weapon categories or can learn new skills from doing quests/missions/objectives whatever else.
>>336630952
This shit frustrates the FUCK out of me. Hosts get fucking one-shotted, and when I summon they do dumb shit like run into giant groups.
>>336647291
>>336651779
I said in my Survey they need a separate tutorial for someone to learn the combat or littler the messages on how shit works closer together.
Still feel silly with everyone talking about blocking and I barely used it.It looks like it could've made my first run more fun. I'm too used to being able to two hand in DaS and dash around that I've grown not to trust it.
I think the game is gonna need a lot to help pad out it's replay value. I hope there's alternate missions in various areas and other objectives to go after later. That or I want like 30 or more levels or like a difficulty scaling system where you can make a level harder by adding more enemies to it.
>>336654551
>Summoned into world
>Host is wearing full Mariner gear
>Doesn't change gear even after I slaughter a dozen enemies for him
I ran off and aggro'd the whole map to get him killed. What a faggot.
>>336654551

Haven't had this little fun since getting people to light the windmill in DaSII
>People think Feudal Japan is overused as far as settings go
Are you guys fucking kidding me? We don't have enough of it these days. It's not like generic DnD fantasy isn't overused too.
>>336654664
Yeah, block always blocks 100% of damage in the Nioh demo.
It makes life much easier given that you only get three or so I-frames dodging.
>>336655103
The problem is that anything Japanese has been conflated with weaboos. I find myself cringing at Nioh sometimes even though it's not that YOOOO at all and I should know better.
How long's it going to take until we can admit it's mediocre without being told to git gud?
>>336655313
>Nioh
>Cringe
What's your problem? It's actually a really faithful and interesting take on the setting and mythology. The Yokai in particular are very faithfully depicted. Heck, even the Bandits and Ronin look the way I'd expect them to.
>>336655435
I'm a victim of popular culture fampai. The naruto running, overblown sound effects, and overly stylized combat makes me feel like some moeshit girl is going to pop out and start reciting anime tropes at me.
I know it's all perfectly sensible given the setting and context but Nioh makes me feel like "that guy".
They put the demo on a fucking finals week
FUCK
I managed to finish the demo tho
>>336656532
>getting an education
>>336655692
You should probably get over yourself bro. You're in the way of your own enjoyment. I bet you avoid "edgy" stuff too.
>>336656719
>being conquered IRL
I'm fucking over my final with this BUT I BEAT IT
didn't get anything after the second boss, Im assuming mark of the conquerer is all you get?
Is anyone brave enough to take a screenshot of the boat oni's butt?
>>336657021
Yeah, Mark of the Conquerer is it.
I think it's pretty fair. Lots of people would have trouble finding time to get all the way through that marathon of a demo and the second level is reward enough in of itself.
>>336607157
O CONQUISTADOR!
Guys? I think it's over...
Can't wait for the full version though. So long as they improve how it feels to fight Oni. At the moment you either cheese them with fire damage or have to use Ki Damage attacks until you can stunlock them. They aren't interactive enough.
>>336659563
They're actually pretty fun if you use low stance and keep your mobility high.
>>336657756
I actually really liked that second boss too which I didn't expect
>>336659563
They need to remove or heavily rework the movement-slow magic and well as reduce fire shuriken's damage by 70%
I was able to beat the whole demo with the hammer high stance square > triangle combo, bosses included, without making any fancy moves, only R1 ki recovery. No switching stances, no going to low stance to dodge with less ki, no parries, no nothing
All I needed was use the time-slow magic, throw a shuriken and then beat a boss or oni a handful of times
I want the game to make me use all the other interesting mechanics and make me suck less at the game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1dlnqYUEZw
>>336659563
I just used high stance spears square attack and immediately back off. That's also how I beat the level 20 Developer Revenant in the cave left of the boat.
>tfw enemies get iframes in their dodges too
I'll just be here, spamming low-style whenever ur ready 2 take damage china
I liked it and beat both bosses. I still believe the first boss had some really shit hitboxes even if I was poorly skilled my first run attempt. I hope nue is more representative of the bosses with a fresh look on the boss fights. And I'm impressed that I had to switch between stances to take on different enemies.Fuck the ninjas
>>336607157
First stage was GOB tier but second is visibly just final area of the level. Nue was GOAT though
>>336607957
You literally only need to kill 3 onis to have full access to second shrine next to the boss
>>336611476
CONQUERED
AND IT'S OVER! Good runs team. Tried my best to help people get conquerors
I hope the final game has a hevay amount of replayability for online. There had better be several fun endgame levels and more characters than just william.
>>336607157
>tfw I thought that demo didn't end until 5/8 and didn't realize that I had to finish it yesterday until 10 PM
>try to get as far as I can, but I get sidetracked with running around and killing enemies
>demo ends once I got a little bit past the burning village part where you can kick down the ladder and fight the demon on the rooftop
Fuck I wanted that DLC too.
