>Could have had a great Ninja Gaiden spiritual sequel

Sigh
>>336020860
NG3 and Yaiba sucked anyway.
>>336020887
This desu senpai domokun famalam
>>336020860
YEAH. They were forced to make this game not a sequel to Ninja gaiden. 10 years ago.
Shut the fuck up, idiot.

He's referring to the fact that the second version of Nioh that was in development was scrapped explicitly because it was deemed too similar to Ninja Gaiden.
>>336021679
It was good decision because now you have le epik bonfires and ground is littered with bloodstains so you can see others are playing the fucking game as well.
>>336021752
If you'd played the demo you'd know that's not what dead players leave behind.
>>336020860
At least we got a real evolution in the Souls-like games. I was getting tired of DS2 and DS3 basically being reskins of DS.
>>336021752
The revenant system is actually pretty neat and one of the better ideas to have come out of the game.
Now, if only they'd tighten up that AI so they don't get fooled by the mid poke EVERY time.
>>336020860
Toukiden, a rip-off Monster Hunter.
Nioh, a rip-off Dark Souls + The Witcher.
Is this company even trying anymore.
>>336022087
>witcher
Spotted the slavshit.
>>336021925
Nigger the only Souls-like about Nioh is the slow pace. Which isn't Souls-like
God I hate you faggots so much

you etc
>>336022160
>ignoring bonfires, bloodstains, leveling, etc
The game is heavily inspired by Souls. I'm sure it's not an exact carbon copy, but to say the pace is the only thing it shares with Souls games make you look like a giant nigger-fucking faggot.
I'm sure Nioh only exists because from fucking doesn't want to make a Souls game set in the Eastern Lands that gets described so many times via items. Shit They even have Oni.
>>336022465
They said themselves that Demon's Souls was used as something of a template for what they wanted to do.
I think I like that a bit better than just one interconnected world like DaS or BB, honestly.
>Nioh is an actual good game with interesting twists on mechanics from both NG and Souls topped off with a dope ass Feudal Japanese Myth setting
>Both NG fags and Souls fags are denying it because it's not either NG or Souls exactly
You all sicken me.
>>336020860
Well maybe they don't want to make a game that plays exactly like another game series.
Kind of like how Remedy didn't put bullet time dive in their latest game even though it would have made it a lot better. They didn't want people to think that it was just re-skinned Max Payne.
Team Ninja is probably just trying to avoid people accusing them of only making Ninja Gaiden games.
I hope they do make another one though.
Ninja Gaiden 2 was the shit.
>>336022465
>leveling
jesus fucking christ
and bonfires are fucking checkpoints you fucking retard

completely different mechanic

>>336022623
I only played the demo a bit, but I like the way LMH stances work, as well as the way bloodstains work. My question is, is there a way to change stances mid-combo? I guess I also feel like Stamina drains a bit too quickly.
It's really good but i'm kinda bored with the whole feudal japan setting. Soulsborne has made me want more europ
>>336021938
They just keep walking right into that shit too.
>>336022908
>and bonfires are fucking checkpoints you fucking retard
They work the same as Souls. They let you level, they reset your progress, etc, etc, etc. I should also that the experience works the same as Souls games as well. Die, you get a chance to recover it, die again, you're fucked.
>bloodstains
True enough, I fucked up.
>>336022806
>dope ass feudal myth setting
>dynasty warriors
>toukiden
>every other tecmo weeb game
It looks awesome and I think it'll be big but don't pretend it's a new setting.
Nioh's combat is nothing like Dark Souls. Prove me wrong.
>>336022087
>dead or alive, fighting game rip off
>doax, mario party rip off
>>336022224
If you chuckle fucks are going to shitpost at least put some effort into it.
>>336023031
I prefer this setting over dark souls' setting but not bb
>>336020860
More like heighten game variety rather than just mashan dem buttons
>>336023264
Nobody said new.

Good time to be alive fampai.
>>336023358
As long as it has Uncle Dante I'd be fine with that.
>>336022087
>implying anyone wants to rip off The Shitcher
>>336022968
I don't think they necessarily combo into each other, I'm pretty sure you can unlock a Katana skill that gives you a free Ki Pulse for stance switching.
>>336023358
>you will never get to play a zelda soulslike
>>336023734
There was a Zelda Warriors game so anything is possible.
>>336020860
The last thing we needed was another shitty Ninja Gaiden. I can't believe there are people that liked that trash called Razors Edge.
>>336023795
True enough but I won't be holding my breath.
>>336023873
STOP with the "3RE was a bad game" meme already. NG3RE was extremely challenging and fun.
>>336023873
There are also plebs that thought Ninja Gaiden 2 was any good, so don't even bother.
>>336022087
>rip off of the witcher
What the hell are you going on about? How is it even mildly like witcher?
>>336020860
what gameplay variety in Ninja Gaiden? Everything was Izuna Drop
>>336020860
This game sold me on "lightning inus".
The adorableness' is electrifying.
>>336024715
>seriously fucking implying
2 was great. You make me sick.
>>336022465
You are right. This game is obviously supposed to sell to the souls crowd. Anybody that begs to differ is delusional, the way the game progresses is almost exactly the fucking same.
>>336023358
>There are even talks of slowing down the next DMC entry to make it "more methodical."
>>336023358
I fucking hate slow repetitive souls gameplay, repeating the same part a million times is just a way to save money in development
Ok, no>>336026501
That's bullshit, I dont believe you.
Devil may cry has to be fast. It being slow at all is cause you're being slow.
No.... No.
It's more like Onimusha than Souls
>What is Onimushaa ps3 was my first console xDDDD
>whitewashing
*sigh*
>>336026137
What have you got to say about THIS eh Nioh fags?
>>336028017
What needs to be explained?
>>336026501
>Dark Spirit SpardaEleGiggle has invaded
>>336027802
They could have known what Onimusha was if only Capcom made an HD collection
>>336028828
That might be worth it.
Heck, if you had a slower, more DMC1 Sparda prequel that could be cool.

Source on that?
>>336023358
Yeah good time to play the same games over again. Creativity is dead.
>Souls combat is clunky and slow, but also rewarding because it's methodical combat that involves stamina management and correct use of your start ups and cool downs
>all these imitators are focusing on the former attributes and not the latter
>the actual strengths of the souls' games combat aren't mutually exclusive with a fast gameplay tempo, it just hasn't been done yetWonderful 101 already integrated everything I like about Souls into the context of a Character Action game without sacrificing its speed or flow.
>>336036446
If they made that game but removed any and all touchscreen stuff from it I would love to give it a go. But not interested until then honestly. I gave it a shot at my friend's place. I've played a ton of character action and I just didn't like the morph mechanics.
>>336037113
You didn't just do the morphs with the R-stick?
>>336037254
I tried that too, I didn't like it. If I hadn't put hundred of hours into dmc bayonetta etc maybe I would be more willing to do it. Can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess.
>>336037452
It's all for nothing anyway. At the very end of the day advanced play requires the touch pad rather than the R-stick anyway since it has no minimum necessary input time.
I do like that, unlike Bayonetta almost every single move can be done raw and the combat is about creatively combining them, rather than Bayo's dial in combos.
>>336020860
>publisher over-riding developer priorities to appeal to mass market instead of target audience
this has been happening consistently over the past 8 years so what else is new?
