New Nioh demo thread here.
Should be out for all regions by now? But those in Germany need playstation + to download.
>Be American

Thanks for saving Japan, William!
Are there estus shards to have more heals in the demo?
Seems weird that you can only have one combo ender when the menu seems to imply that you can set different combo enders for different combos.
>>335586558
Some enemies drop additional medicine that can stack up to 9 (I think), but you burn through those and you're back to starting with 3 again.
>>335586541
Is that the ending screen after completing the boat demon?
>>335586656
probably will be on the final game
>>335586558
Donate items at the shrine and they'll yield items like healing and equipment repair.
>>335586705
thats cool as hell
Loving this game. I completed the demo in 2 hours, now i'm just grinding for better stats/gear but it is still fun.
I only use the high stance, game hasn't forced me to use the others yet.
is there a backstab?
>>335586704
Certainly is. Killing him will take you to a map screen, where you can pick the second mission at the rainy temple.
>>335586705

>>335586705
so... it's Onimusha?
which would/be awesome really and I hope.
>>335586705
nice
>>335586872
I think you'll only ever need two stances.
Mid and high if you're a strength build, mid and low if you're a dex build.
>Cuckmany
>Americucks
>Your weapon reflects lighting
So that is where my FPS is going to work.
>>335586887
Holy fuck, that is a lot of content for a demo.
>>335586896
There's pretty apparent influences from a whole bunch of stuff (Souls/Bloodborne, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai and even a little Ninja Gaiden and Genji), but it feels distinctly like its own thing.
Also everyone who finishes it should go and fill out this feedback survey.
http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/form/nioh_uk
Set your brightness to max if you want an easy mode.
>>335586894
>>335586705
Not even my Mongolian cartoons are like that anymore, sadly. But that was nice.
>>335586896
This is nothing like Onimusha. Has anybody on this board actually played Onimusha?
Go emulate it right now and say that retarded shit again.
>>335587062
Yeah it's about four hours, assuming regular skill level. You can get a fair amount of extra time fighting the revenants/doing multiplayer as well.
>>335587062
Yeah, between about four and six hours, depending on how good you are and how thoroughly you explore.
>>335587153
" Did you get The Mark of the Conqueror?"
Is this one for completing it?
>>335587437
No, you get it after beating the first boss.

The thought of those two working out great and becoming more commonly implemented things is pretty exciting.

>>335588482
gotta say its a bit weird, its only on the front of the demo page, if u go into the catalog its not there, but again its a temp demo
Reminder that if you are not fighting an oni it is stretching a loli's holes with its massive oni cock.
Think of the lolis, anon. Go fight an oni to prevent them from being used like oni onaholes.
Post your characters
Been playing this game for a while.
With some polishing this game can be a legit goat game. The ARPG mechanics paired with the gameplay are nice. Stats and armor actually do mean something unlike the Souls games. The difference of being unarmored and having some equip on is like night and day.
Big issues are the framerate. it's awful even with the action mode enabled.
Whats the meaning kd NiOh? Looks like some chemical formula
Is having lighting in a video game forbidden in the 8th generation?
>>335588021
makes the game look like shit and cannot maintain 60 fps. so not that good kek
>>335587198
Its actually incredibly similar to Onimusha Dawn of Dreams. What with the floaty orbs and everything.
>>335589002
>>335589149
Well it's an early build after, optimization usually comes last
>Oh wow finally I'm managing to dodge his wrecking balls after 25 tries

It was supposed to be a PS3 game, so it probably hasn't changed too much since then

Wait,
How did you get it in the US?
>>335586705
would be nice if you can snuff out light source and stealth.
>>335589412
to elaborate on that, 仁 in classical japanese had the same meaning as in Chinese and meant a philosopher in the type of Confucius.

I wish the combat felt more meaty.
If you have a europe account you cand download and play it. I am playing it now in america
>played through it 3 times already
It's pretty nice and every weapon and tool actually feels like it's useful
>>335590153
Nope sorry man, you could do remote play from PS4 to get it on Pc but it's ps4 exclusive, sorry.
>>335590153
Yes I own one thank you for asking
>>335590153
What about my PC?
>>335590153
PC? PC? HUEHUEHUEHUEHUE
You can customize your character at least a bit? Or maybe in the full version. Still playing it regardless.
>>335590510
Not in the demo, at least.I asked for changeable hairstyles and facial hair in the survey.
>>335590582
Hope they do it. At least like how it is in Way of the Samurai.
>>335590182
Fuuuuuuuuuuck

I playe through the demo 3 times once with pretty much no armor and two times with heavy nice looking armor, as long as you're below 70% you'll have no problems.
I keep getting soo close to beating first boss then i get hit once then KO.
I fucking hate how i hit square once with my axe and this faggot keeps trying to do combos.

>>335590182
This is so fucking badass that I cannot wait to see playthroughs of people eating the game just using this.
this coming out in burger land ?
>>335591651
It is funny because Jodan is a homonym for both the word joke and the high stance in japanese swordplay!
>>335591780
We got a demo, it's 99.5% we'll get the complete game.
>>335590153
Pretty unlikely. Team Ninja doesn't like PC after experimenting with it, and Koei Tecmo is comfortable letting them do what they want so long as Dead or Alive brings in the money.
Development Hell games are never fucking good you dumbass morons, goddamn get it already.
Mechanically I like it, but I am done with the alpha already. Didn't even finish, Ill just wait for the final game when they actually have balance stuff in it.
>>335591904
>Development hell games are never good.
Resident Evil 4 and Metal Gear Rising says hello.
>>335591904
Okay, i will still enjoy FFXV, Last Guardian and Nioh

Where is the second shrine, I would like to play the game further but starting at the very beginning all the time I get either gangraped by a mob or demon is stupid
I am too bad at this game it seems, how to gid gud?
>>335592985
Use rocks and the bow to bait out enemies one by one.
When fighting a demon just dodge right and hit when they miss.
>>335592985
There's a shortcut back to first one and the second one is in a small path with those axe zombie enemies, there's also a thrird one later on

How do you repair your weapon? I'm at the boss and most of my weapons are broken
>>335593417
Whetstones.
>>335593417
as far as i know, you can find loot that repairs your gear.
>>335590894
Okay, what the fuck is that girl doing?I'm hoping to see more realistic combat in the sense of traditional Japanese martial arts but anime is cool too. Did you see the iaijutsu parry kill webm?
Finally found all the kodamas, no reward though.
>>335593690
Air hula hoop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpGtAe2qAjA
The fact that the boss gets to pick up those balls and you can't destroy them is bullshit
How many weapons in the demo?
>>335593935
activate your guardian once his stamina is low and you can stun lock him.
>>335594014
At least Katana, Dual Katana, Axe, Hammer, Bow, Spear
>>335594014
only 3 weapon types, swords spears and hammers.
but with all the stances, skill trees and abilities it takes a lot of time to master one weapon type.
FUCK THESE ZOMBIE THINGS ARE THE MOST ANNOYING SHIT EVER
NOTHING FUCKING HITS THEM WHEN THEY CRAWL AND THEY CAN JUST TANK ANY HIT AND GRAB YOU
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
what dose all the Guardians do and how do you lvl them up?
>>335594496
katana high stance swings vertically.
>>335594948
THEY ARE TOO FUCKING FAST AND JUST GRAB ME BEFORE I CAN HIT THEM
>>335595047
Yeah it's a little weird, they even power through the hammer attacks most of the time
>>335595120
that said this second fucking level
gear drops get so much higher
>get one shot by a big cyclops thing before i can open shortcut
aaaaaa
How do I dodge Onryoki's AoE attack? I feel like I'm missing something
Are there pvp in this game?
>>335595603
Not like in Dark Souls, you can summon dead players phantoms as NPCs, but maybe the full game will have actual invasions since there is actual coop
Some of the mechanics are a bit weird. I'm fighting that first Oni in the village and it's very hard to tell what he's telegraphing. A hit or two and you're dead. Should I just ignore this fight for now? I'm level 10 I think. Also, what's the difference between Strength and Dexterity?
>>335595603
Not in the demo but final will have it.
>>335595829
Strength helps Axe more.
Also Strength increases equip weight.
Dexterity gives more Ninja points.
>>335595829
Nah you can beat him. Usually just double dodging behind enemies works, hit him 2-3 times and roll away again
>>335595930
What's Ninja Points?
My friend downloaded the demo and said he hates it. Says its just like Dark Souls.
I FUCKING DID IT, BOAT DEMON IS DEAD
The real Ni-oh starts here, the next level is 10 times better.
Am i the only one who thinks the guy looks like geralt in the hearts of stone cover?
>>335596061
okay
It's not an instant kill unfortunately.
>>335596094
Looks like Brad
>>335596058
They are like Samurai points but for more dexterity base things.
For example you can make you dodge cost less stamina.
From the menu (pressing the touch pad not the shrine), go to the right to the tab where you unlock weapon techs, then inside that tab scroll across to find it.
>>335596271
Oh shit. Didn't saw that.
>>335596152
I love kicking people over ledges
>>335596113
Well is he right? Is it like Dark Souls?
>>335592446
epic! So this is the legendary I le hate vidya xD. This is going on r/4chan for le upboats
>>335596401
Not exactly, more like Dark Souls + Onimusha + Genji + Ninja Gaiden + it's own mechanics
If you just play it like Dark Souls you will die right away
>>335586350
Is japan whitefacing their game? Why is the Samurai white? Is it to get a bigger audience in the west? Will negros get mad?
>>335596519
They're still not over that one time Hitler called them Honorary Aryans.
>>335596519
He's William Adams.
>>335596152
>>335591904
>>335592212
And Metroid Prime, and Ico, and Deadly Premonition, DMC, Silent Hill
>>335586350
When will it release? Looks like I got another reason to go IDORT along with FF15 and Ace Combat.
>>335596741
I don't think they've set a date yet, but probably in autumn sometime.
>>335596152
this game is too cool
How to kill the ninja oni?
I told them I wanted torches in this game, also to not add dogs.
>>335597137
Is there any game where dog enemies aren't annoying shitbags
>>335597106
bait out the twirly move, get a feel for how long it travels then walk just outside its range and punish it when its over.
>>335591408
What, I'm like 88% and am doing fine.
phone wall
>>335597246
Pokemon?
>>335597306
but those fuckers keep draining my stamina!
>>335597246
No, I get triggered just trying to recall one good dog enemy.
>>335591524
Not him but what? I didn't know that was a thing... I thought they only gave these passive bonuses.
>Koei Tecmo
>Team Ninja
What the fuck, these are the last companies I'd expect to release an excellent game. Fuck that alpha was so good.
>>335597914
One of the bodies tell you.
Press O + Triangle when your thing in the top right is ready.
>>335597914
Press triangle and circle when the upper left icon is filled
>>335597982
Hopefully it won't have 10000 DLC weapons and armors and bosses
Alright fuck this, gave the first boss like 30 tries and keeps fucking me up when his life is like 1/5 away from dying.
How do i summon in this shit?
Wait, is that game finally released? I remembered seeing it back in 2006 and thought it was vaporware since.
>>335598108
Think again fuck boi.
>>335598112
Go to a shrine and summon, never worked for me though
>>335598156
Why? "le fuck boi"
>All these anons that say the boat boss gets easy in his second form
He's a fuck ton way harder to deal with
>>335598112
did you try guardian spirits?
>Bootleg Tenchu Z with magic
No thanks.
>>335598367
Mine literally only lasts for 10 seconds and takes a while to come up.
Is it out in the U.S. yet?
>Want to re-play level
>Everything resets
Why... This should be an option at best.
>>335596629
>>335596152
It seems way too easy to do for how useful a technique it is.
>>335598338
Sprint and roll, you need to put a distance between him and you, when he use close attacks, punish him with one or two hit and sprint/roll again.
>>335598983
Try it yourself
>>335599097
Can't. Don't have a PS4.
>>335599216
I love how all the complaints are from people without the game.
I've noticed that you can put some yokai instantly into flashing stamina mode.
For the first boss if you land a strong attack in his face after the double swing.
For the second boss its easiest during the lighting from mouth move.
For the cyclops you can do a strong attack in his eye after the belly flop.
Once they're in flashing stamina you can stun lock them with regular attacks (or activate guardian), and their stamina doesn't recharge until they've done a special recharge move, so if you're good at Ki pulsing you can do huge damage.
>>335599392
It wasn't a complaint, it was an observation.
>MFW I cant even get the 4/5th batch of bandits in the first level
Holy shit I suck so much. If you try to block them with your sword your gaurd breaks immediately and if you use the axe, they just rush you like a motherfucker.
>>335599216
>>335599476

>>335600231
No it isn't unless you mash the attack button non stop like it's souls. Just do a combo and press r1 to get almost all your stamina back

my biggest issue is the item management.
you pick up a ton of crap constantly, you can only have 200 items and you have no way to efficiently bulk donate them to the shrine. (I know you can triangle select them but you're still selecting one item at the time)
the nioh demo is my goty so far
>>335602220
The game is really good but for some reason it made me feel dizzy and nauseated. I normally never experience motion sickness, not even in way faster and hectic games.
>>335587937
This Alpha is designed so Team Ninja can get feedback for the full game, shit will be changed drastically from what was presented here
Terrible equipment and stamina system, fuck this
>>335598520
This pretty much, not enjoying this demo at all.
The camera is too far back to avoid the hyper armor of the axe bandits. Some stances do terrible damage for no reason. No story, why am I fighting these little naked japs? Why do I keep coming back to life?
>>335598338
>first boss
>hard
tell that to the second bosses instakill aoe lightning
Okay just played about an hour and I gotta say I am very impressed.
I thought it would be a competent souls clone, but it actually manages to feel like its own thing. The combat feels more like Ninja gaiden than souls.
I died to a bunch of those enemy player phantoms on the very first beach and got super frustrated, but after getting used to it I started doing cool shit and beating them easily (are they NPC's or actual players? Some were good, some were shit and some even taunted)
also
>spear low stance animations
>>335602627
Because it's fucking alpha for feedback. You expect a full story mode from a network test in a souls game?
>>335602220
this
12 hours so far with a fucking demo
>>335602627
>The camera is too far back to avoid the hyper armor of the axe bandits.
camera is ok, what is hyper armor and how they killing you with it?????????
>Some stances do terrible damage for no reason.
depends on the enemy and how they fight
>No story, why am I fighting these little naked japs?
cause its a demo?
>Why do I keep coming back to life?
cause its a video game?
>>335602548

HOW DO I REPAIR WEAPONS. This shit breaks like nothing (well they ARE katanas after all)
This is Dark Souls 2 tier of weapons durability
>go into house
>weird black aura in the corner
>go to it
>BOSS TIME ALL OF A SUDDEN
>it smashes me hard into the wall, wall breaks, I land in the front yard
>boss steps out of the house and into the yard with me
This is seriously some cool ass shit they have going on here. I hope most of the bosses have as inspired designs in terms of staging.
>>335603498
there are whetstones and other weapons to pick up and figure out. It is actually a clever way of forcing you to give more weapons a chance when you start out, whereas later weapons will have higher durability
>>335603498
At least in DaS2 you could repair for free at bonfires, not in this garbage. You need a whetstone, which seem pretty rare considering how fast shit breaks.
>>335602627
Also why can't I use light attack into heavy attack? I mean even Dynasty Warriors lets you do that.
Why aren't I facing the target I'm locked onto, it looks ridiculous and is sluggish when you are changing directions being that you character has to TURN THE FUCK AROUND
When you are just running normally why does the main character lean left or right like he's on a motorcycle when you turn?
When I lock onto something why don't I pull my sword out?
This game has major issues
>>335603498
donating items at the shrine has a chance of yielding item like healing, weapon and armor repair and consumables that gives souls.
How do you make Low Stance work? The back & slash damage is quite weak so I assume it's a technical stance, but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with it.
>Struggle through all the first level
>fuck those samurai
>fuck those spearmen
>fuck those archers
>fcuk those zombies
>FUCK THOSE FUCKING ONI
And then I killed the boss on my first try.
The fucking ninja oni are harder than him.Axes are OP
how do i beat the second boss good fucking christ
if i stay behind it it just shits out that aoe lightning that one shots
if im in the front it just does massive swipes which rape my face
wat do
>>335603802
>Also why can't I use light attack into heavy attack? I mean even Dynasty Warriors lets you do that.
You can, just level up and learn the skill.
>Why aren't I facing the target I'm locked onto, it looks ridiculous and is sluggish when you are changing directions being that you character has to TURN THE FUCK AROUND
Because you take extra damage when being hit in the back, this is literally the easiest part of gitting gud in this game.
>When I lock onto something why don't I pull my sword out?
When I'm in Firelink Shrine in DS3, why can't I sheathe my sword? Pro tip: Nobody cares.
>7/9 kodama
FUCK
where are the other two?!
>>335604167
run around while keeping him at distance.
wait for lighting from the mouth attack or failed throw (he comes sliding with his back towards you).
then attack his face until he is stunned (stamina bar flashing red) then activate guardian and go to town.

there is one behind a rowboat near the boss entrance.
there is a bunch in the forest area that can be easy to miss.

You use it for quick stamina breaks on onis. The forward+x drains a huge amount of stamina off of every enemy so you can stunlock them with heavy for damage. Also unlike the other stances, you can get stamina back by dodging when your bar is filling up so you can continue your combo.
>mfw this is Dark Souls with an actual combat system

Im not sure but I used it for fighting groups because its faster and has sweep attacks, instead of using moves that leave you exposed it allows you to hit and move before another enemy comes in to hit you.
Yay, just beat the ship demon and got my free DLC unlocked.
The first part was the hardest but it gets so much easier once I defeated the big guy in the house.

I'd rather just have a new Ninja Gaiden/Shinobi but this is alright I guess.

Ok that sound interesting. So you are supposed to switch through the stances instead of sticking with one.
