Anyone still looking forward to this
>>342055678
goty
Demo was pretty shit, so no.
>>342055793
Nah Dark souls 3 and FF XV is competing for that,but Nioh is really high up there judging from the demo
Yes
It's super fun.
So far the only other game apart from Persona 5 that I'll be getting for my PS4
>>342055678
Yes, that and bannerlord are the only games I'm hyped for.
demo was pretty great, i just hope they didnt nerf it too much because of people crying
Definitely, this+Nier+The Last Guardian have me hyped.
Y E S
I'm pretty concerned about their response to the beta survey feedback, though. I really liked a lot of things they appear to be intending to modify for release. Most of the feedback seemed to be "it isn't just like muh souls pls remove any difficulty that I can't mitigate by trading hits and hoping for stunlock what do you mean use other mechanics exhaustion is unfair".
Still, I'll buy it on day 1 for sure. I ended up putting 20+ hours into the beta, went through all the content several times and spent more or less a whole day carrying shitters through the first zone so they'd have marks and hopefully be more likely to pick up the full game.
When the time ran out I was sitting on level 50.Axe 4 lyf
>>342056189
I'm actually kind of glad they remove that breathing animation when you run out of stamina,it seems to be there to inflate the difficulty
>>342056189
No it looks like a Japanese version of Dark Souls.
>>342056487
It's still in the game. Only difference is that the time you're in that state is cut in half.
>>342056291
>>342056436
There was a "changelog" somewhere or something that they plan to implement from the feedback, anyone got that?
Didn't they mention that only some more annoying parts were being removed, like weapons breaking and excessive stamina drain?
>team ninja game
>no oatmeal cookie
Yes.
>>342056189
>limited time demo
Literally why? Will it come back when the game is released?
>>342055678
You say "still" as if some new information has been released that would calm my erection.
>>342056720
I got u bruhh
http://teamninja-studio.com/nioh/us/demo.html
>>342056934
I think it was just to get feedback to fine tune things
>>342056934
because they wanted to get a bunch of feedback in a short time
there's another demo in a couple months
>>342056680
Nope they remove it so breathing wouldn't occur
>>342056720
https://www.vg247.com/2016/05/20/nioh-this-is-whats-getting-changed-based-on-alpha-feedback/
>>342056934
Believe it or not it was an honest to goodness testing beta. Presumably they'll release a new demo when the game's done but it's entirely understandable for them to take down the demo while the game is still in active development and keeping an up-to-date demo would be a fuck-ton of work and not really do anything for them.
Yes
I will probably lose hope in it if it doesn't get a world wide release date though
Nips casualed it down
>>342056720
>Excessive stamina drain
Doesn't exist if you knew Ki Pulse at all.
But they didn't explain Ki Pulse until after the initial hurdle and most people quit before then.
>>342057196
> remove durability of weapons and armor
What? They actually removed it?
>>342055678
Yes, because I am a sucker for feudal mystic japan.
>>342055678
I'm not completely sold on it yet but the alpha demo was definitely interesting so I'm going to keep an eye on it.
>>342057415
>this
holy shit the 'Asia' feedback graph
procure proficiency you casuls
>>342056189
Hahahahaha no. Just no. Just..... NO!
>>342056506
You do realize that Dark Souls is the Japanese version of Dark Souls right?
>>342057726
I think they mean a YOOOOOOOOOOO version of Dark Souls
>>342055678
Alpha demo was fantastic but I'm worried they ruin it due to feedback. If the game keeps the quality of the demo it'll be a GOTY contender.
Yeah. Did everyone else get to the second boss of the demo?
I heard they dumbed it down for console players. Is this true?
>>342057924
Someone post that Conqueror pasta
>>342057924
Yes and beat it.
>>342057924
I did it 100%
Did both stages twice and found all Kodamas
>>342057924
I beat Nue about 10 times.
Smacking the lightning out of it with my giant axe was 2fun2stop.
Took me quite a while the first time, though.
>>342057924
Beat it multiple times. Pretty fun fight.
Hell yeah, can't miss my boy William from merry old England slaying demons in Japan.
A literal gaijin, seems he's chasing some demon from England to Japan.
Also, new demo in August.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQpGYsvHR78
>>342057924
beat the whole demo twice
once with katanas, once with spears
>>342058028
>le conquered maymayplease do
>>342057196
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmZPYTEc7hM
Here's some recent gameplay. You can still see the breathing animation at 4:35
>>342058028
>tfw smashing the boxes in the boss room reliably gives you 3+ whetstones and glue
>never seen anyone else smashing them apart from me
Smashing environmental shit gives you SO FUCKING MANY items. I can't believe they're removing durability because people are too unobservant to realize that.
Will be my GOTY if FFXV ends up sucking.
>>342058572
>IF
give up hope ffXV is gonna be shit
they even cut the city
>>342058172
It's interesting since a lot of people said that he was half Nip before this, but according to the latest trailer and the prequel manga he's most likely full Britbong.
>>342058725
I thought it's still in it but it's just not a regular town? Even so I think people are overreacting about it. The real concern is the combat, but then again Witcher 3 proved good combat wasn't necessary for an rpg to be worthwhile.
>>342058028
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 f***ing Nioh, reminding the Conquered who they really are. And with little to no documentation in sight they hide behind s***posts 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 still says I'm not >>342055940. No, I'm a Conqueror.
>>342058463
Nice, will have a game to play in August, even if it's just a demo
>that music from the second stage in the demo is in the trailer
I liked it, but I still wish they had better boss music
The demon bird-bat waifu boss looks interesting
>>342058463
>>342058172
Okay I'm really starting to worry about the enemy variety in this game
No. Game wasn't very fun, looked like ass, ran like ass and the community is already more elitist than the dark souls community which in itself is a fucking achievement on it's own.
>>342058985
YES
Thank you
If it comes to PC I will
>>342055678
Yeah. Nothing much to discuss until the beta in a few months though.
>>342058985
>Mark of the Conqueror
That's nothing, real men are Nuemales.
>>342059135
i wouldnt worry too much yet
that area is directly after the second boss of the demo
>>342055678
Kurosawa's script dropped
Ki pulse mechanic dropped
Made easier to cater to casuals
Durability removed because people don't want to utilize different weapons and are autistic enough to "main" a weapon instead of being adaptable
I don't really think i want this anymore
>>342056189
>Not Nier or Bloodborne
>>342055943
>Dark souls 3
>FF XV
>competing for goty
I'll take sure fire ways to discredit your opinion for 500
I'm going to kill myself if it turns out worse than the demo because retards couldn't figure out the mechanics.
But will it have waifus?
Any ideas what will the Mark of the Conqueror be?
>>342059516
There was a QT Samurai in the new trailer.
>>342059364
>Ki pulse dropped
WHAT? WHEN?
>>342059364
This also, removed breathing animation after stamina depletion
I don't understand why they keep removing depth from the game, it blows my mind
>the real enemy is your stamina bar
wasn't planning on buying it at all, makes combat slow and boring, enemies aren't difficult either
>>342059670
>>342059647
both are still in
>>342059647
Read changelog dawg
>>342059447
Well what else is coming out this year that warrants a GOTY I mean there's Deus Ex: Mankind Divided,but that's it
>>342059647
Don't listen to him, anon.
>>342058463
Watch the video. Ki pulse hasn't gone anywhere.
>>342059447
>Das3
>Game of the year
Haha
>>342059671
Oh no you have to manage your resource, the horror!
>>342055678
This is one of the few games in 2016 that I'm really excited for (assuming it comes out in 2016). They don't make too many action games worth playing these days. But this year I get monhun and nioh so that's pretty sweet.
>>342059962
Learn to reading comprehension bruh
>>342059647
Ki Pulse still in
Shame about the durability though. Considering how many weapons you got, that wasn't exactly an issue
Sure you might have swapped from your katana to another katana that had like 2 less damage, but still
The gameplay video does seem to show that they've reduced the damage of enemies by quite a bit, specifically the Oni damage, as they would usually two or three-shot you
>tfw you got gud on the last day and couldn't beat the alpha in time
I just wanna play it again. Why did it have to be timed?
>>342059779
Sadly you have a gr8 point
Vidja is dead ;_;
>>342059670
That wasn't depth that stamina animation was a bullshit way to artificially make the game harder than it needed to be.Both Monster Hunter,and Dark Souls have a better stamina management system,and both still manage to be harder than Ni oh,I like the alpha demo,but the stamina system needed to be work or revamp
>>342060264
Thats prob because hes overleveled with high end armor for the e3 showcase
>>342059516
Legitimately, unironically, without pretense, honestly, who gives a fuck.
>>342060447
They didnt remove the breather. Just cut the time almost in half
>>342060576
>fighting the wall
Confirmed to be against trump
>>342060373
I tried anon
I tried as hard as I could
I spent the last six hours waiting for people to summon me so I could steamroll the first level for them and get them their mark
I managed to get the people who actually followed me from the beach to boss dead in less than half an hour
I'm sorry we didn't meet
>>342060626
Well I guess that's better
>>342058752
The protagonist of the original incarnation the game, whose name was Oni, back when it was based on the Kurosawa script was a mixed-race Eurasian. The William Adams-pastiche was created for the Team Ninja incarnation of the game.
>>342060756
You're a better man than I. I spent a day beating nue then booted it up once or twice more to fuck around and that was that.
I didn't want to get too much muscle memory for shit that might not make it into the final product.
>Nioh devs said that while Japan bitched most about the difficulty, the clear percentage for the demo was highest in Japan
>play demo at brother's
>Get him mark
>Bought me my own ps4 a week ago
Tfw no mark
Since it was hinted for PC too then yes
Not surprised. The japanese are the most beta cucks out there. Literally
>>342055678
why won't they just make another good ninja gaiden
Here's a list of stuff people have compiled from press interviews
>The game is currently 60-70% completed, but Team Ninja are still aiming to get it out by late 2016
>They're aiming to clock the main story of the game at around 30-40 hours
>None of Kurosawa's Oni script (That was subsequently finished by his son and tightened up by Kou Shibusawa to make it more videogame-y) that the game was originally based on has made it into the final version, with the exception of the protagonist being a blond samurai
>It was reaffirmed as a PS4 exclusive for the foreseeable future, but chances of a port didn't sound too good, as TN are still snakey and pissy about that DoA5 nude mod thing
>None of the prevalent sexuality from DoA and Ninja Gaiden will be there, since they felt it didn't match the tone of the game
>Around 100 side missions of varying objectives will be avaliable
>NG+ isn't a given, but they're aware of the demand for it
>No invasions, but a potential PvP arena
>The August beta demo consists of a tutorial dojo, the two levels from the alpha demo again and a new stage, the boss of which is that creepy demon lady from a few of the trailers
>William only understands basic Japanese, so the dub will be bilingual
>You will be more than likely to change the facial appearance of your revenant
Yeah but only due to jap folklore. The gemeplay is ok but could be better. My only real complaint is the horrible performance.
>>342061301
>None of Kurosawa's Oni script (That was subsequently finished by his son and tightened up by Kou Shibusawa to make it more videogame-y) that the game was originally based on has made it into the final version, with the exception of the protagonist being a blond samurai
And dropped
>>342061301
And visible changes made since the alpha
>The life and stamina bars are now more colourful, as is the spirit guardian gauge
>Quick-item slots have been made bigger on the HUD, and have been expanded to encompass the entire D-Pad; also it seems that two sets of items can be mapped to the D-Pad and swapped on the fly
>Quick weapon switching is now done with R1 + the D-Pad, with the weapon icons subsequently being moved over to the stance indicator
>A second missile weapon can now be equipped
>The lock-on system has been changed to work more similarly to Zelda or Souls
>William's breathers after running out of stamina seem to have been shortened by half
>Dodges and rolls now seem to have more weight to them and seem less glide-y than they were in the alpha
>Durability has been removed outright
>On-screen messages display whenever a proficiency point is earned for the equipped weapon, with a little display at the bottom of the screen showing how many you currently have
>Drop rate seems to have been toned down a bit, so every enemy isn't a piñata of useless gear
>>342061446
Did you try 'action' mode?
>>342055678
I think it would be better if they kept the durability but allow the weapon to refilled if you go to a temple.
I rather enjoy the low durability weapons in Nioh but fixing said weapon durability would be nice. Also fix the elixir system. I don't want to grind everytime i die.
Allow for stats reclassing.
>>342061446
It's ps4, what did you expect
>>342056846
The director isn't hayashi I think. That gives it a good chance of being good.
>>342055678
ya the demo made me excited for it.
Durability was such a useless mechanic in the alpha.
I was swimming in weapons and whetstones.
>>342061697
It's jointly directed by Hayashi and Yasuda.
>>342055678
its a shitty souls clone so no
>>342061513
>>342061301
Dang. This is sounding better and better. I think waifufags might be mad but they're pretty irrelevant.
>>342061513
>Breathers shorten by half
Ah man. I really enjoy it. The ki pulse and the nioh combat system allows you to keep your stamina going for a while longer.
If you lose all your stamina, you should be punished.
the dodge/rolls being less gildey makes sense. Low stance was getting a bit too ridiculous on that aspect. Buff High stance for mass damage and mid stance for combos/special attacks/skills.
The Drops rate being fixed is also nice. Just make sure the drops are useful for the level/area. Having so much loot and so little space is a problem. They should increase the space/find a way to teleport items to the storage room in a temple.
Weapon switching is also a good addition.
>>342061093
>Since it was hinted for PC too then yes
Don't make me say it!
>>342061093
Sauce. The performance gave me cancer.
>>342061840
The last good souls game came out 5 years ago
>>342062145
He's baiting, sorry senpai.
>>342058985
The funniest thing about this pasta is that it's true. At least in the heyday of GameFAQs people still had to do some critical thinking. Now with the advent of YouTube, ravenous dataminers systematically strip every last hint of mystery from a game days or even hours after its release. And instead of savoring the sweet experience of mastering the mechanics and uncovering the secrets themselves, these guileless philistines gulp it down in one go. Just as appreciating finer literature demands an adept reader, a challenging game requires a skilled gamer. What these Conquered are doing is reading the sparknotes and then claiming they read the book. No, you fucking didn't.
>>342055678
Sort off. I was hyped before the changes but they announced a second demo so I will wait and see how it plays now. If its too easy I wont get it anymore.
>>342061561
Yes. It was still pretty bad. Not unplayable, but quite annoying nonetheless.
>>342061676
I know, but I like my action games smooth. I will forever bitch at bag performance in them.
>>342062194
yea and this is just another clone cashing in on the "le so hard difficulty" bullshit
Unless they change the character behavior when locked on back to the way it was then not as much as i was.
>>342061796
Hopefully that other guy counters hayashi's stupidity.
>>342061846
Well, there is NotMomiji
>>342062248
Fug.
>>342061301
>>342061513
All of this sounds fantastic
The enemy variety is a bit of a concern from the footage so far, but the bosses are what I'm most interested in personally
>the demon-harpy-bat waifu is the next demo's boss
Based.
I hope we get the Conqueror of Conquerors Mark for that so >>342058985 can have a second part to it
>>342062464
Nioh will almost certainly have some of the best action combat this year.
>>342061501
The writing was on the wall.
The game went through three vastly different versions in gameplay and tone.
>>342062549
Vanilla NG3 was both of them, with RE being solely Yasuda, who is the bigger of the two on Nioh from what they've said, so that's a positive.
>>342055678
Nioh bothers me. I really love the gameplay but I have this huge distaste towards the entire Samurai and feudal Japan aesthetic.
I'll most likely get it and like it anyway. But it's vexing. I am almost positive that I very much enjoy or even love the game, but as mentioned my general distaste towards the aesthetics just makes it almost impossible for me to get excited.
Heres the optional tutorial area.
It's a dojo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=282cMo0Lk6A
>>342062953
You hate feudal japan? Why?
>>342062953
I understand m8.
I'm the opposite, i'm specifically drawn to this game thanks to its setting.
>>342063013
i hope it's not mandatory
>>342063230
In the demo it isn't.
Theres a promt asking if you want to do the tutorial and you can say no.
>>342060576
Is this super mario 64
>>342063826
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurikabe
>>342063826
Okami.
>>342063013
>1 enemy per piece of tutorial
Yeah this might be hard for people to comprehend
I mean, look at the guy struggling with the Ki Pulse and lockon
>>342064103
If people can't comprehend that they should just quit playing videogames.
It's clearly too complex for them.
>>342063013
Looks like they got rid of the huffing and puffing animation around 3:06. That's shitty.
>>342064540
They've shortened it by half, check 4:35 where the arrow trap breaks his guard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmZPYTEc7hM
>>342064540
it's still in
>>342064540
That's because it's the tutorial.
>>342062798
not saying much since games are shit now
>>342065227
Action games have never really had a fantastic showing. DMC Ninja Gaiden Bayonetta God hand, I'm sure I'm missing some but those are the main ones, and that's like 15 years worth of games.
>>342064760
>>342064820
>>342064905
That's a relief.
