Gomenasai, /v/.
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?
>>335916716
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!

Mustard Race will never ever get this game lmoa
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.
>nani?
>axe to the face
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.
>>335916909
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.
>>335917554
>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.
>>335916716

Why do you keep saying sorry?
>>335917859

I fought one by the Shrine before Nue and he dropped a fucking Raikiri, which was neat.

Shark spirit and quit wearing light armor.
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.
>>335919868
Not him but yes.
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?
Where do I spent my gold? Also my shit keeps breaking send help
Anybody knows what the level cap in the demo is? Im at 45 and one lvl up costs 500k
>>335920429
t. Conquered
>>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.

>item box
For what purpose
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.
>Weeb souls
i'm loving it
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.
Action or movie mode, boise?
>tfw no ps4
hows the game anyway, is the weapon variety good?
>>335923052
"2016"
>>335923197
Only three weapons in the demo, but they all have three stances with light and heavy attacks, plus custom combos.

>>335923197
3 weapon types, but the movesets offered have more variety than souls borne. The combat itself had more depth too, though not to dmc/ng games. It's like a middle ground.
>>335923442
It's good but a bit unbalanced since its an alpha also only Germany needs a ps+ to get the demo

are magic or ninjutsu worth it? I'm also guessing it's a waste to spread points between multiple weapon skills
Does dodging give you I frames?
>>335918337
>unavoidable 1 shot lightning attack
all you need to do is walk to avoid it
>>335923973
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.

>Durr, talking about games is shilling.
No, you can tell by the posts that it's 90% marketers in this thread.
>>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?
>>335918636
>2kat
lmao
>>335924998
Unclear. Better question is what's up with the ones that have the golden glow.
I think they're dev graves. They seem to drop more shit.
How do I get summoned?
>>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
Viral marketing is supposed to sound like genuine people enjoying a game.
>>335924041
I think it does, I forward dashed through arrows lots of times.
>>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.
>>335925615
25 something, just beat the first boss
>>335923651
>>335923670
Nice
Any idea what the download size is? When's the last date to get it? Can u keep the demo or is it a trial?
>>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
No you can tell by your post that you're fucking retarded. Meme arrowing an argument doesn't invalidate the argument, you cuck.
>>335925660
Once you get the 15% elixir drop rate buff you basically are running with 10 elixirs at all times.
Whetstones and glues are a fucking problem though. I have a 351 damage sword and I want to use it.
>>335924296
>ninjutsu
The only ninjutsu I've really played around with would be the exploding shuriken, and those things are awesome. You can kill the "regular" big oni (the ones with the single big sword) with three volleys no problem.
>>335925816
About 3.5 gb, but PSN's shit tier connection makes the download take like 1 hour. I have a 200 mb connection and it was slow as shit.

>>335920469
then i think we found the answer, jim
>>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.

so many videos like these, fucking great
why does this game trigger people so hard
>>335926176

They should mark the dev graves differently somehow though. A different color than red maybe?

>>335926779
Do you all consider this kind of loot to be like Diablo/Borderlands?
>>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.
>>335926687
Personally I really like the flavor text of the tonbo-giri, with its legend as the dragonfly cutter and what that means symbolically.
Helps that the IRL Tonbo-Giri belonged to this guy.
>>335927060
Well it's a dark souls clone so let's see how it pans out
>>335919616
>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)
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
Its not just any dark souls clone either, but the first dark souls clone by a professional, nonshit studio.
>>335927135
Only for the little cyclops assholes. They can't backdash fast enough to get out of range.
>>335927060
DS3 has also already released, so "potential" isn't something you can really count on.
>>335927060
No shit, it has an actual good combat system instead of just roll for a shitton of iframes and spam quick attacks
>>335927060
DS clones finding success would be a great thing.
Hell, every game should have the equivalent of bloodstains and messages.

unarmed parry is the same as normal parry, block while unarmed and press either square or triangle.
Obviously to be unarmed you need to have one of your 2 weapon slots empty.

>>335927630
Good times, gotta remember those ki bursts though.
>>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?

>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.
>>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

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.

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.

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.

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.

>>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

Literally fuck off, the Witcher didn't start with 3.

Witcher 1 was 2007
Ni-Oh was originally announced in 2004

>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.

t. Conquered
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.

>>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.
>>335919868
Who the fuck wouldn't want another Onimusha instead of a Souls-like.
>>335935739
Sure, but it's not really relevant to the conversation of "hurr Geralt copy"
>>335935851
I completely want this game as it is and very much enjoy it.
But I'd kill a man to get another proper Onimusha. It's weird that the series was born and died entirely on the PS2

>>335936601
It's actually kind of a genius way to present an opinion you know is going to get meme'd on
Become the meme yourself. Go over the top. No one can talk shit about how cringeworthy it is because that's obviously the point; it's always posted with fedora images or white dudes with Katanas.
But it still lets us go "lol conquered" when people whine about it being too hard.
>>335933673
I'm sure Kasumi or Ayane or someone like that will be an unlockable character.
How do I get the guard break skill to work? The little video and lack of a listed button prompt makes it sound like it's something that happens automatically if i hit an enemies guard.
It also says "raise your guard to force the enemy to the ground" or something like that but hitting L1 didn't seem to do anything.
Also before anyone asks I am not in the wrong stance for this.
>>335934541
>Seeing a cyclops for the first time

How do you handle the first boss ball spin? Just block and eat the ki damage?

How do you fucking pass through them without activating that triangle + circle thing
Is there just no other way??
>>335927786
Bad enemy placement
Not properly explaining mechanics that are vital to make the game fair, this isn't a saga game
Stamina system needs a lot of adjustments
If you're going to compare this with Souls, it's a bad comparison because Souls is fair, even though it is hard (souls 2 aside, for many parts)
This one isn't fair a lot of times
>>335937782
Are you taking the shortcut from the shrine?
What I do is:
1.Drop down on the guy standing under the ramp, 1HKO him with high stance axe drop
2. Headshot the guy patrolling down the ramp
3. Headshot the archer by the dock
4. Kill the archer's buddy by luring him behind the house and fucking up
5. You can either just run to the boss or headshot the other patrolman just in case.
>>335937645
Probably. And preferably.

I won't give a fuck. KT might.

>>335938026
>Kill the archer's buddy by luring him behind the house and fucking up
fucking -him- up, I mean. Don't fuck up, that won't help.
>>335938013
This reads like someone that doesn't know how to play the game and refuses to learn how to play the game.
It's even sadder since that means not only did you ignore the voice over telling you how to do certain things, you also ignored the big exclamation point in the menu that leads you to the section with all the information on how to play.
>>335926570
You learn so much watching this kind of footage
>>335934402
Goddamn. Does anyone know this?
>>335938947
You can test yourself. Just equip 30, do a thing, mark your screen with tape or something where the stamina depletes to, equip 60, do it again.
>>335926570
>outfit almost identical to Geralt's white shirt in W3
kek
>>335938545
>leads you to the section with all the information on how to play
What the fuck?
I need to go somewhere to learn the basic, most important mechanics to manage to pass through the game
Have the designers not considered that there are people that will miss those things
Mandatory mechanics must be conveyed by mandatory sections
Oh my god, can you even into game design, just erase yourself from this world
>>335939639
The information is IN THE MENU and there's an exclamation mark everytime you get something new.
Reminder that using kekkai and sloth talismans+a hammer or axe make Nue a fucking joke. If you are struggling get some more strength and magic and just keep him staggered. I just had him staggered for nearly the entire fight using just a hammer and magic.
>>335939639
Holy shit you're a retard. You managed to ignore the fact that the game gives you a voice over for every mechanic, provides a video demonstration for every mechanic, and has a section in the MENU, the same menu you're always going to be accessing, that you can always go to in order to look it up.
If Dark Souls did what Ni-Oh is doing you faggots would call it hand holding.
It's way easier fighting bosses solo than summoning someone. Online will make the bosses spaz the fuck out and teleport.
game is quite easy once you get good weapons and gear, hype diminished :^(
>>335939639
That information is also presented in those voice clips you hear through the first area and it'll show you the appropriate buttons while it does this.

git gud illya, it's not even as hard as ninja gaiden on easy mode.
>>335939471
Yeah, I did something similar. It doesn't seem to, but it may be affecting the speed of the regen itself, and the pause before your ki starts coming back. I'm not sure. As far as increasing the cost of your attacks though, I think all that matters is what tier of encumberment you're in.
I think.
>>335941158
which ninja gaiden
also, ninja gaiden is actually fun in movement and skills
the souls style of this game takes a lot of the fun out of it
it's a half assed souls
half assed ninja gaiden
not being a master of either
Is there a list of all the kodamas? I feel I'm missing a couple
PC usere here
Just got back from my little brother house
Only half way done with the demo and still died upwards of 30 times.
This game kicked my ass and i love it.
Can't see what the low stance is there for tho,
it feels completely useless in most situations
Also
Is there fucking poise in this game?
Because some heavy armor enemys don't fucking flinch at all when i hit them.
>>335940180
It is but it is also still hard even with good gear. The bosses can still best your ass if you slip up and even enemies can fuck you up if aren't really trying.
Its also the fact that you know your enemies better after beating them before
>>335916716
just finished the demo.
tfw after playing this you realize from has finaly caved and made dark souls 3 pander to casuals.
>>335941761
Low stance is for dodges and quick pokes. Switch on the fly, low to dodge, high to punish etc.
The heavier enemies only flinch when their stamina is red, but then you can go fucking crazy on them.
>>335941310
It's a different NG. Buy skills, parry and punish mistakes, that's all you need and it's just like NG. Even the stamina is a non issue. >>335926570
>>335941761
There is poise I think. But there is a human poise and a yokai poise which operate differently.
Poise from what I can see is tied to both stance and weapon. As an axe user I see myself shrugging off attacks all the time. Poise is also affected by armor as well.
As for low stance using dodge will in low stance will activate a ki pulse so its very good for hit and run attacks against bosses and other slow opponents.
>>335941968
Okay that makes sence
I still ahven't gotten the axe so i don't know for sure how the low stance with that is
That reminds me
does the summon players thing work in the demo?
I havn't tried it yet since i abide by the "no summon on first playthrough rule form souls"
>>335926687
wait do all purples have lore on them? i fucking threw everything into trash thinking none of them do.
Any reliable way in killing those Stone Warriors at the 2nd shrine in the 2nd level?
They have just absurds amount of HP it seems.
Is it even worth it? I just ran past them and grabed the items.
>>335942646

Yes, but it gives the boss 4x health or something
>>335933863

Have you tried it without armor on?
>>335943180
In the mission select screen choose match making and you should automatically go to someone's world. There is a lot of people requesting help but not getting any because not that many can help.
>>335943267

>>335926570
That was genuinely impressive
what does the magic animal spirits do?? whos the strongest
>>335916716
I gotta say, I'm seriously disappointed. This wasn't even remotely entertaining to play.
I'm not sure what the rest of you are seeing that I'm not, this just seems like "knock-off Dark Souls in Japan featuring gimmicks" to me.
Don't forget to fill out the surveys anons.
I haven't played enough to really find deep flaws but I find grinding for items gets boring, especially since I need fucking rocks in areas where enemy placement is a deathtrap
There is no room for error when fighting samurais cause you'll get your shit kicked if you do
Parrying is kind of laggy but I don't know if its just user error. I press block and square when they begin their attack and get hit or I press square right when their sword is next to my face and get hit.
Otherwise I'll probably get it
>>335937679
>katana breaks with no way to get another
How? The game drops you a katana every 30 seconds
>>335937782
Lure them out 1 at a time.
Walking from the burning village there's a guy patrolling. You can shoot him with an arrow to either get his aggro or kill him if you get a headshot while he isn't aware.
Next is the 2 the on dock, shoot the one with the bow in the head and he'll die instantly, then fight the one with the polearm 1 on 1.
Then shoot the guy on the ramp.

jesus h christ, the game is awesome and i love it but the only thing remotely difficult is the fact that if you see an enemy and dont expect another one (at least) to crawl out of a hole somewhere when you initiate you are going to be fucking surprised when said enemies crawl out of said holes.
in any case i hope they fucking fix it because its fun as hell. also hoping for souls like duels not just npc shits

Can Team Ninja make a game that isn't reskinned Dead or Alive / Ninja Gaiden 3D?
Even Ninja Gaiden on original Xbox was basically a beatemup version of Dead or Alive.
Metroid Other M was Ninja Gaiden in space.

Most of the rarer weapons/gear do - the purples are the most full of lore.
Anyone else here familiar with William Adams' story before Nioh? I read about him in a book of historical anecdotes, but people in these threads keep referring to him as some well known hero in Japan, which I find weird because in all my studying of Japan not once did I hear him name brought up.

The bow is amazing, it's normal to get over 1000 damage if you get a headshot on an enemy that isn't aware of you.
If you want something to bait enemies but don't want to use a bow then get the shuriken in the ninjitsu tree, just one point and you get 6.

Nigger I am not following your argument here.
Are you actually implying that a japanese dev team would base their design for William Adams on an obscure Polish novel?
I just enjoy the game more than Souls game, can you people from both sides stop fucking shitposting?
I own the PS4 but I wish the game would be out on PC too so that you get the optimal combination of movie mode and action mode, but then again if Sony is paying for this then it's their call and good for Sony for funding a fairly niche market game
>>335946003

>>335946285
You can also walk to a bar with friends and order nothing but pepsi. You can go to an Italian restaurant and eat nothing but the bread they bring to the table.
Basically, you're making the game a lot less fun by playing it so fucking safe.
>>335946368
I'd be surpsirsed if the final game isn't running at 60fps in movie mode settings, there's no reason that it can't unless it's optimization is garbage. TN made games with way more shit going on and they run at 60fps
>>335946285
it wouldn't though. most enemies will r2 spam you to death in mid stance if you try that shit. honestly dont know what game youre playing.

Toukiden or the new DIssidia. Or games from KT like Samurai Warriors have 100+ enemies on screen and run at 60fps. The movie mode settings have nothing impressive that wouldn't allow them to easily run it at 60fps unless it's just a bad conversion from the PS3 leftovers
>>335947089

>>335947263
>KT like Samurai Warriors have 100+ enemies on screen and run at 60fps
None of the enemies have anything going on up there in their brain, and the environment were very bland
>>335947356
Only Toukiden. Dissidia is a completely new installment.
>>335947356
Toukiden yes, Dissidia is an Arcade port, but still. Nioh doesn't look impressive either, i'm totally fine with the action settings, i'm just wondering why the movie settings take a hit on the performance that hard
>>335946554
Anon pls
>>335947650
What?
You all act like it's a graphical masterpiece that could never run at 60fps
>Make a spear only fast blue weight build
>Easy mode
>Make a heavy armor axe and katana build
>Having an extremely hard time
Enemies deal very little damage to me but the stamina consumption for every action is so high I cant I cant defend myself after I attack. Blocking takes a bunch of stamina and the regen is a lot slower with 70% weight. I have to grind and put 30 points in stamina and strenght to make this viable and god damn I will do it because heavy armors look the coolest here.
>>335947531
the game handles alot better in 60fps
i can actually see the frames that let me parry now.
why the fuck even is 30fps a thing ugh
>>335933673

Hayashi is mediocre for action games as a whole, but it seems he finally got something. Unless he isn't directing this one.
>>335947089
They got it after their consecutive slaps in the face; DOA5 not really taking off despite toning down the ecchi, then NG3 still not taking off despite taking so many cue from trash western AAA devs.
I could almost hear them say "fuck it"
>>335947742
....heavy armor and katana, spear then?
i mean, you seem surprised a heavy weapon will deplete alot of stamina. you didnt think you could swing it like a katana did you? just because he is white doesnt mean he is a god, anon...
>>335947741
I get drops in action mode. They need voodoo magic to get 60 fps at movie level graphics by launch.
Encountered some strange bug after dying i dont know why but my max stamina got greatly reduced i could only hit once and then i had wait for seconds before my stamina started regenerating
what kind of trophies do you want to see in the final release
I want to see a trophy for completing the game with different builds like "finish the game with strength being your highest stat"; "finish the game with magic being your highest stat." Also, maybe some impossible completion trophies like "finish the game using only your starting gear."
>>335947759
I know, i just hope they'll actually lock the framerate, cause right now it's far from 60fps even in action mode
>>335947967
>just because he is white doesnt mean he is a god, anon...
So /pol/ lied to me? What the fuck.
>>335948009
Not a bug. You have too much weight on. If your equipment weight exceeds the allowed weight, every action, even a simple katana swing, takes all of your stamina away.
Increase your strength and choose lighter equipment.
>>335948051
"Date with a snake girl"
>>335947991
Or just good optimization. There's really nothing impressive about the graphics or effects that should lead to that many framedrops. Optimization always comes last, but still. It seems more like a PS3 game that they try to force on the PS4 hardware
>>335947864
hahah they toned down the ecchi because they thought every fuckshit complaining wasnt buying it because of the ecchi.
can you imagine, them scratching their heads wondering why the fuck people who didnt have an interest in the game in the first place wanted them to change it and why they listened.
>>335948190
oh ok thanks anon
>>335948051

>>335948430
>>335948374
>finish the game without summoning another player to help yo bytch azz
I know to summon someone you use the cup things but how do I get summoned?
When the full game is released, do you think they will let us keep our progress (items, weapons, gear) to take to the full game?
I've grown attached to my gear already, it would be cool to have the Mark of Conqueror DLC be to do so.
>>335916716
Reminder NiOh will also have a manga. It's style kind of remind me of Arakawa's, but its from some no name guy.
>>335948879
Maybe if they release another demo but it's unlikely that stuff from the alpha would carry over.
>>335916716
Does anyone have a guide for the kodamas? I can't find one on the second level. I searched fucking everywhere.
>>335948879
I doubt it, just like the Network Tests for souls games the enemy placement and shit will probably be totally different and i doubt you'll find the good gear that early on and i hope they'll balance the exp needed to level up, i could easily level up to lvl 30+ just by playing trough the demo which is a little too much
>>335949090
Did you find the one against the wall near the two One Eyed Ones in a corner?
Seems to be the one most miss.
>>335949045
So what are the chances of the Kurosawa script ever being used for something?
>>335949160
This makes me wonder if anyone has done some stupid grinding and has a stat at 99 yet.
>>335949325
Most likely, if 99 is even the highest level
>>335949325
I reached level 40 and already feel overpowered as fuck.
I'm assuming, or hoping, that the leveling gets tweaked by the time the full game rolls around.
>>335948879
It says the second demo level was tuned for level 25 but I hit level 30+ way too quickly for that to matter, there's no way you'd be able to bring things over to the full game without completely destroying the early game.
>>335920690
desu I find ninja yokai easiest to kill with distance and high stance spear
>>335926570
Neat. He almost bought it right at the end, completely out of stamina and the only reason he lived is the boss swung in the wrong direction inexplicably.
>>335949764
They're also pretty easy to get with guarding. I just wish I found out that earlier.
>Try to help someone beat the oni in the hut
>Goes in stays in the hut and dies immediately.
Yo common at least try to live.
Who is the director? Same guy of Ninja Gaiden 3? That is a red flag.
>>335950339
Play the demo before commenting on it, if the final game only improves on the demo it will be a great game.
>>335926570
This shit looks easy. Why are people complaining here on /v/ out of all places? /v/ is always making fun of casuals.
>>335950496
Because they don't even try to get used to the controls. And tehy think they can just rush thorugh without dying once for some reason. It's not an easy game, but it just takes some time to get sued to same with playing souls games for teh first time or any other game
>>335950496
Regardless of whether the game is easy or not, do you actually think watching someone speedrun it is a good representation of how the majority of players will find the difficulty?
>superior straight white male protagonist
Japan knows whats up.
>>335949231
Yes, I did.
I can't exactly remember all the locations of the ones I got, but I remember getting the one at the wall in the start, the one near the two One Eyed fucks, and the one hiding behind a crate with a zombie near where Nau is at. I cleared the entire level and I'm running around like a mad man trying to find the 6th Kodama.
So how many of you guys were actually able to help people doing match making, most of the people i play with run straight to their death
>>335923717
if you summon before beating a boss solo i can guarantee you bitch ass nigga is going to get yourself cucked at some point in your life
>>335948734
You have to beat the first level which takes you to the map screen. Go to a mission and hit x then square.
>>335951085

Why does he kick onis and bosses so much? I dont get it.
>>335951085
I've killed one nue and like three boat oni for first timers
>>335951553
Drains their ki, though bosses seem to have a few things you can destroy or hit that'll instantly break their guard.
>>335951553
Every enemy has stamina and kicks do tons of stamina dmg
>>335951553
Because it drains their ki letting him slap them around with his attacks.
>>335951704
Holy shit this changes everything.

Ye same thing happened to me yesterday. If you or your hosts connection is shit it happens. I was downloading something at the time and forgot to turn it off. After I did cleared up. Also seems to happen more often if your host hasn't done the boss before.
Speaking of co op are all hosts retarded or are you not able to pray at a shrine while you have someone summoned?
>only 3 weapon types
Dead on arrival.
>>335952820
>are you not able to pray at a shrine while you have someone summoned
You can. It teleports the summoned player to you and refreshes them as well. Though I think you're not allowed to interact with the shrine otherwise. Like the actual menus.
So do these samurai types eventually become easy as I get stronger? It takes like 3 minutes to kill one and they respawn.

Not the end of the world, but I'm a little disappointed there is no character creation. I'd like to see it as an option, if only for multiplayer. Like, a character you create to play as when you get summoned.
>>335956681
I've heard the same from a friend, but your playing as a main character. It would be tantamount to having character creation in Devil may Crystal, etc in my opinioname.
I have a friend that won't even play it because of that. Seems weird to me to care so much about that.(Not you, him)
>>335956914
Oh, I'm fine without it. Still loving this demo to death. Just feels a little silly when the multiplayer starts and I'm staring at myself.
