It's fucking samurai Dark Souls you idiots, it's cut and paste Dark Souls with a samurai costume. That doesn't mean it isn't a good game but seriously? How are people actually denying this?

You rememeber quite wrong.
Each weapon had a switch between two attack styles and each attack style had like 4 different attacks.

Yeah because souls is the first game in history that has you swing a sword in third person and is the first game to have am emphasis on boss fights

What next all fighting games are a rip off of each other, all military games? stealth? walking simulator? Souls is a generic RPG which has an emphasis on boss fights. Believe it or not boss fights where the norm back in the day, unbelievable I know.

Dark souls is just Zelda with better combat and level design. It's a goddamn copy of the Zelda formula. How can people literally not see this.

It's not pvp, It's like Phantoms from Demon's Souls. There are some NPC ones but most of them are players that died. You can summon their revenant and kill them for a chance to get a piece of equipment they wear.

>>
>>335863579
Its a very good mechanic honestly. It seems to be harder as you go up in level and revenants feel unique from each other. I had one that refused to get out of low stance and just spammed the fuck out of attacks. Then I had another one thay went mid stance and used the thrust attack every other time I let down my guard.

I've played DaS3, to say it's the same as DaS2 or DaS or even Bloodborne is akin to saying all Megaman games are the same or all MarioKarts are, which is to say really really wrong

It goes until may 5th. You are two oni demons and a few captains away from the boss. Then there is another level.

Tenchu 1 had all the features you mentioned to be copied from Souls games. You're either born in mid 2000's or completely ignorant about the subject you're trying to talk about.

It's the whole "everybody is copying God of War" again. GoW borrows the fuck outta Devil May Cry and at some extent Rygar, but that doesn't mean they're not different things overall.

The game plays fine in movie mode, but you can lower the resolution and increase the framerate in action mode.

You can tell that the game will be 1080p/60fps int he final release anyway by looking at recent video releases.

Hell, movie mode isn't even capped at 30. It goes at high as 60 when you look towards the ocean.

Anyone have any tips for the first boss?

I feel like you just need to take it slow and only poke when he does something wildly unsafe. its easy enough to just block his swinging balls in phase 1. though phase 2 is giving me a lot of trouble
>>
>>335867508
Beat the mission. Get 5 as standard.
>>
>>335867635
what mission? you mean the first level?

i'm stuck on the first boss
>>
>>335867085
They're retarded and think on the most abstract level possible.

>>
>>335858876
Pathetic
>>
>>335867508

You don't need more than 3 elixirs for boss fights, just git gud and learn how to not get fucked over by the various moves(both the bosses have telegraphed as fuck attacks that are easy as heck to dodge as long as you stay at green equipment ratio)
>>
>>335867586
Whack him as he's running to pick up the balls, he's absurdly vulnerable. The balls themselves are easy to dodge so long as you have some room between yourself and him. If he runs out of stamina, unleash your guardian spirit and pour on the damage.
>>
>>335867572
Going by that video I feel like it would have played like Dynasty Warriors, which is a floaty and forgettable series.
>>
is this game supposed to be hard as fuck or am i just bad?
>dying in two hits with armor
what the fuck mayne
>>
>>335867586
Get the talisman that wards off Yokai areas.
Add the sword burst attack to your mid and high styles. burst down his stamina and then switch to Low style and wreck his shit.
>>
>>335867774
how the fuck do i unleash the guardian spirit? i never put points into the spirit tab, so am i just not able to do it? when i push the buttons to do it nothing happens
>>
>>335867807
It's supposed to be hard. You get better armor later on that helps, but armor literally doesn't matter when it comes to the bosses. they'll most likely 1~2 shot you.
>>
>>335867807

It's hard until you get down the mechanics and learn how to manage your ki

Don't try to play it like its dark souls
>>
>>335867926
Level spirit to 10. It's very much worth it. Either that or grab a fire talisman.
>>
>>335867832
ok, so thats where i'm most confused

what the fuck is the point of the stances? high seems to do more damage i guess. and what do you mean add sword burst? and what talisman? is it a random drop or a guaranteed pick up somewhere?

and the fuck is a yokai area? those swirly grey spots that seem to suck out stamina?
>>
>>335868061
High is good for pure damage and damage, mid is good for blocking.parrying, low is good for taking advantage of the ki restoration dodging.
>>
>>335868212
>damage and damage
Meant to say damage and combos. Most of the best combos are high stance.

Ok, it's obvious the games are similair, but what I want to know.

Is it worth downloading the demo?
>>
>>335868061
High does more damage and higher range but slow.
Medium is the most defensive with parries and counter attacks and medium speed and damage.
Low is quick low damage attacks and focused on dodging due to the Ki burst happening during dodges instead of the press of R1.
>>
Why does enemies having stamina bars in a game like this seem like such a unique and novel concept?

That said, I hope there's a no HUD hardcore mode.
>>
>>335868350
>Is it worth downloading the demo?

Yes don't take /v/ idiocy seriously
>>
>>335868350
Yes, it's time limited and you also get free DLC for the main game if you beat the first area, with a second area that's optional but gives you a further taste of the game.

I mean even if you end up not liking it, it's just a demo that you downloaded and tried for free.

Nope, soulsfags and PCfats can keep on crying, maybe start up another petition for it like you did with the souls series.
You'll NEVER get bloodborne, and you'll NEVER get Nioh so suck it. But no, getting Dark souls 2 was soooooo worth it right? that piece of shit was probably the PC game of the year!

so i have about a week to beat the first boss to get the full game reward right? dudes been giving me trouble, though i imagine i can beat him before may 5th...

i hope the game saves your progress. i have absolutely no interest in getting back up to the first boss again. it was fun, but took a while

I just don't get how some "people" can have problems with such a simple fight.
>>
>>335858406
It's Dark Souls with decent combat, what's the issue?
>>
>>335869614
dude kills me in like 2 hits

is it worth it just to go light armor and go for pokes? i hate slow patient fights

Normal armor is generally the best balance between defense and speed.

anyone want to be summoned to fight the first boss with me?
Waiting at the top shrine on top of the village by axe wielding maniac.

I have the summon up.

not really, if youve played fromsofts older games kings field and shadow tower, its just a improved version of those games
>>
>>335858406

Well you cucks pay for Dark Souls rehashes as soon as they release.

Why not pay for another one?
>>
>>335869705

I killed him with normal armor and high stance only.

It simply comes down to managing your ki, dodging/blocking his attacks and punishing them with strong attacks. When he starts throwing the balls you have to dodge them since they cant be blocked, which is easy enough to do if you can get the timing down.
>>
>>335870085
Dont summon for him, learn how to beat him properly, you'll come out feeling way more accomplished, he is easy when you just learn how to beat him
>>
>>335870220
Alright. Any tips then? tried four times can't beat him.

Are people denying it?

It obviously takes things from DS but also plays vastly differently, it's a whole new set of rules you have to learn and it's refreshing to be challenged and intrigued again after the bore that was DS3

I feel like the game didn't even this this much of an heavy HUD "inspiration" on Souls

Anyway you are equally as stupid for pretending like this is a literaly copy/paste, both sides are retarded.
>>

It feels like it's trying to cash in on Souls popularity, but still trying to do it's own thing at the same time.

Use his size/speed to your advantage. Don't face tank but don't be afraid to go close to his body, use stronger attacks and don't forget you can block a fair amount of his attacks.

Summoning also makes the boss stronger I believe. Once you figure out how to punish him properly you'll find it a lot easier

I guess that's their plan. I don't mind because at the end of the day it's clearly a different game.
On one hand having such a similar HUD and checkpoint system will make it sell more because of the comparisons, on the other it'll attract mindless shitposters half of whom never played the game.

>>335870516
Above all else I hope for the swift death of nintendo or a port of MonHun outside of the fucking 3DS. I love the game but MAN am I tired of the 240p tiny ass screen and hand cramps. The whole reason why I'm skipping MHGen is because it's still on 3DS the game not being that great and all the shitty gunlance changes help in my decision too

My best hope for a non-portable MonHun is that chinese rip-off MMO. fuck me.
>>
>>335867286

The only thing that needs fixing to me is the lock on system cause it like the game encourages you to get into one on one duels and strafe and move around slowly and counter and parry, but the lock on system need to be similar to demon souls with its circle strafing when locked on and you van run away when you hold run button .
>>
>>335870612
Thanks, I got a lot closer to beating him that time. and pretty quickly too.
>>
>>335871136
Awesome dude, you'll get him in no time.
>>
>>335871102
The lock on system works better like it is because you aren't supposed to be treating it like a one on one duel when multiple people are there. This isn't dark souls.
>>
>>335870085
You talking about the boss with the ball and chains? What part about him is hard for you?
>>
>>335869414
Here is a good strat for the boss. Hug that mother fuckers side like your are made of glue. Block those swinging chain attacks. Keep wailing on him and using Ki Pulse to regain stamina. When he gets to the second phase bait him into throwing those balls across the ship. When he does his walk cycle to pick them up attack him. When he goes after you avoid him. Easy peasy
>>
Can anybody confirm this? I'm using the wind talisman on my spear and it seems to have extended range and lessen the consumption of my ki meter.
>>
>>335871121
try moving the analog stick slightly and you will strafe

>>335858406
What the FUCK is this piece of shit? Just got the demo and it throws you into an ugly ass world where everything one-shots you. Fun. Got really far just being careful as shit and you start at the beginning. Souls like. Epic.

its ok in general. Dark Souls popularized a very specific kind of game and now other people have been trying to follow it's success, to varying degrees of success.

Lords of the Fallen, was not a success, for very specific reasons. NiOh is looking to be one, for other reasons

After you clear the forest to the left. How did you die to those brainless samurai though? They have the same moveset as you and will literally spam their attacks until they are out of Ki.

It took me a while but I finally killed that fucking Oni on the boat. Felt good man

Now I'm getting my ass kicked all over again in the second level

Is there a better path to take to get towards the back of the burning village? It looks like I have to go through some flames to get to another segment that is near the tower I can see by the edge of the wall. Those flames just tear my health apart, though.
>>
>>335875994
You get around the village by traversing the rooftops.
>>
>>335875994
you're not suppused to go through any flames
there's a ladder
look around more
>>
Who else /nue/ here? If you got the first boss, you can get the second. Keep at it lads
>>
>>335876235
Nue is actually way easier than I thought he would be. It's a really intimidating fight but if you just watch them for a bit you realize that his attacks are really easy to dodge and then if you hit him in the face when doing the lighting breath, he just can be stunlocked as long as you have Ki or living weapon.
>>
>>335876197
I saw the ladder, if it's the one I'm thinking of. I figured it was the end of the path I got on towards the start of that village.

Also, any tips for fighting those dual wielding Oni? I know I can technically skip him if I circle around to the back of the village, but I'd like to git gud at fighting them. They almost always dance or flip away right as I'm repositioning myself after their attacks.
>>
What is the use of sword ki? I'm not talking about the ki pulse for regaining stamina/ki, I'm talking about the unlockable combo move that makes the sword flash. It says it stuns enemies in a radius but it doesn't do anything at all to those dwellers or the demon enemies. And as for stun the kick does the same thing to humans and knocks them further back while doing damage and ki damage. In a group fight you're better off luring them to a bottleneck than risking that shitty move. That low stance heaven attack that makes you jump up and slash down is useless too. Some enemies can continue moving and be out of the way as you come down with the slash and it only works if you're right up in their face when you do the input. Better off just doing more normal attacks instead of using that one.
>>
>>335877351
Sword Ki is an AOE kick that does slightly less damage, you pop it when you are surrounded but kick is superior on virtue of being spammable

Low Stance heaven attack is a gap closer since your combo strings knocks them out halfway.
>>
>>335858406

>>
>>335877351
The Ki pulse move doesn't do much damage, but its used to drain the enemy ki therefore effectively putting them in stun state so u can cut their penises off.
>>
>>335874725
If you have normal or heavy armor on and full health nothing one shots you. If you have light armor then don't get hit.
You did unlock the shortcut leading back to the shrine right? So that you could get back to the boat easier?
