Souls babies couldn't play this game, since you can't magically roll through everything
Can you fucking retards stop fighting about which game is le teh epic hardcorest?
It's completely uninteresting and shows you both to be utterly pathetic.

No, the copypasta is ironic, you clearly haven't been in many of these threads if you think that all of the posting is.
>>336385718
Anon, you're acting suspiciously like a conquered.
>>336384340
How is this fight legit
A boss that is unable to counterattack in any way, beeing stunlocked to death trough repetitive button mashing. I dont have the cucksole can someone inform me about what is going on?

Game has active reload stamina. He's using the low-stamina cost stance that also gives you stamina when you dodge at the right time, but does very little damage. He's clearly also overleveled. The boss will only stagger when he's out of stamina, and the guy is doing a good job of managing both this stamina and Nue's.
But again, he's also overleveled and doing a fuckton of damage/stamina damage for the stance he's using.
>>336386081
>>336386313
Can we get a fucking eceleb containment board already?
>>336386082
You're so epic with your memes, bro. Sorry to disappoint but I've beaten both bosses and have all but three Kodamas.
>>336386390
Puh, I am glad to hear that, thanks for the input and enjoy one more good looking game.
(Sell me your ps 4 for a low price,please, pretty please.)
>>336383780
>Soles
>you fell for the PC gaming meme
Beat the first boss today, was fun as fuck. Game is pretty great but I feel like I'm just going to use high stance all the time because the damage.
There needs to be more 3rd person action games back on the market that aren't souls type games. This game is really not like souls at all besides when you die and have to recover your stuff.
>>336386807
Hah, be silent. Even if I would have bought a ps4, i could never afford the games for it.
So, it's basically Lords of the Fallen, but anime?
Guess it's good to see the Souls formula is popular enough to steal, I guess. Not like it much matters anyways, now that the series is over.
>>336386081

No judgment here lad, you can be honest
>>336387270
Not in any way. More like Onimisha with better combat.
>>336387324
I have no idea what BR stands for.
Broke? Yes, somewhat.
Brony? No
help me out here please.
>>336382860
After about 20 hours with the demo I can confidently say it's an improvement on Dark Souls, bosses aside.
The bosses were just sponges. Once you figured out when it was safe to stab them in the ass it was boring as fuck. No interactivity. Hopefully the end product will feature some more interactive boss fights.
The enemy design, art and atmosphere was fucking top notch - and the mechanics are deep enough for me to actually want to get better and learn more.
Unless they totally shit the bed and fuck the game completely despite the based as fuck demo, I'll be picking it up.
What stance does /v/ use?
High Stance reporting in
>>336387457
>Speaking of Onimusha, does this game have Issen in it?
>>336382860
In develpment since late 2009
nah it's shit
>>336387567
I use all of the Katana stance, though now that I've put some time into it, I'm very partial to low stance with minimal armor.
>>336382860
Why would I want to play some cheap knockoff when I can just play the real thing?
>>336387785
Cause dark souls isn't hard at all, it's poorly designed, and shallow
>>336387634
I think there's a skill that's similar you can unlock to use it but I'm terrible at counterattack timing.

I don't usually download demos but this gameplay seems pretty neat.
So if you beat the demo you get a free dlc? Just in case is there any way to buy the dlc later if you didn't finish in time?
>>336388390
You just need to beat the first boss
And it never specifies DLC, just that there's "A reward"
Which means it's a 90% chance to be some shitty weapon or armor that turns obsolete after the first half-hour of gamepla
>>336383780
It's one of those rare cases when it is like those chineese smartphones that are better and cheaper than western shit.

Fellow conquerors
Post you are Williams
Where do you get the armor William wears on the mission select screen? With the cape?
Beaten both missions twice now but never found it.
>>336389364
It's the Youngblood set.
Do I have enough time left to fully explore the demo?
>>336389889
There's still a few days left so yeah. Demo ends on the 5th.
>>336389889
Sorta
I beat it in 2 days, but on the second day I spent almost the whole day on it
It was really fun
Finally, beat the second boss. Just had to get gud. Souls babies wouldn't know nothin about that
>>336390261
2nd boss is easy though, it can take you less than 2 min

Look at the weapons shown left of the equipment - chain sickle and (double?) swords. Below the arrows you can also see a musket or flintlock pistol. Maybe those will be in the final game?
>>336391531
I'm thinking they'll be select able for other characters. I'm basing this on William's portrait and name showing up and taking up a huge amount of space on the stage select screen.
I'm thinking like a ninja girl. Kusarigama, two short katanas, and a firearm of some sort.
>>336390959

I'd be honest family, I'd buy the fuck out of an Xbone if it had Ninja Gaiden 2 backwards compatibility
>>336387956
Lore lol. I didn't even read the item descriptions in Dark Souls 3. It got boring after 4 games.
>>336395058
Why not just play it on 360...?
>>336395276
I had a 360 6+ years ago but I gave it away to a poorfag friend
Money aside, I just don't have the space for another console, my cabinet is full as of now and I really don't want to get another whole console just to play 1~2 games which is about what I'm interested in playing on it
What's the symbol above the stance wheel? It has a number on it that keeps rising and I can't figure out what it's for.
>>336396096
Isn't that your arrow count?
>>336396172
That sounds right because it won't go higher than 20.

Some anon mentioned we should get a sashimono as our reward that we can turn on and off.
>>336396778
Let's do some theory crafting then. Is there any character by Koei Techmo or Team Ninja that is referred to as "The Conquerer"?
>>336396959
not that i know, but i'd say fucking Doku
fuck that guy
>demo for a ps4 exclusive
>it's suddenly the greatest game ever
man the marketing for this game started early
>>336396950
I'm ok with this.
>>336382860
Finally got the Mark of the Conqueror. I always try to go into the Souls games blind and not use guides, and I wanted to do the same for this. So when I saw an anon mention using the spirit animal attack and onmyo (or whatever it's called) magic to make the boss easier I made a commitment to not using either. It was tough, as I'm typically not very good at these kinds of games (I've beaten all of the Souls games without summoning or guides, but it took me a very long time). But god damn if that wasn't satisfying. Haven't had a rush like that since Ninja Gaiden 2. Now time to work on the second area.
I just hope the entire game turns out as good as the alpha, and that it's a decent length. I think this has potential to be a GOTY contender, and could prove Team Ninja still can make great games outside of DOA.

Once I found out you could block the spin it went better. His 2nd phase is way easier.
>>336384340
Did this player git-gud or is the game face rolley?
from playing the demo I see alot of dead corpses on the first fucking mob, and then theres this guy raping Nue's face like its nothing without using the spirit
>>336403372
none of the enemy are going to pass up using their weapons so it'll be more like hand to sword combat
>>336398234
sent ;)
didn't play the demo but this game looks like shit both graphically and from gameplay standpoint, why are you so excited over it?
>>336403617
Living weapon just expedites the rape. If you're good enough you can low stance stun lock Nue just as easily. He uses a lightning charge to rebuild his ki making his chest blossom again meaning if you hit it he'll break again as soon as he's got his ki back.
You have to be good at pulse timing though.
>>336404016
Dont shit on the gameplay, its a mix of ninja blade/onimusha/ninja gaiden/dark souls

Why don't you play the demo, it's free. Decide for yourself rather than watch it on YouTube.

I just wanna help ffs
>>336382860
I honestly like (at least what little I've played of it) Nioh more than the Dark Souls games. The combat is a lot faster paced and more varied because of the stances but still has a lot of game play options and tactics open to the player. It makes 1-on-1 combat tense and multiple enemies especially difficult.
The fantasy, feudal Japanese setting of the game already makes it have more character than any of the Dark Souls games, which employed a drab, depressing European fantasy world. I don't think the score is on par with the Souls games, though.
The best part is howsilky smooththe game is compared to Dark Souls, the main reason I'm not getting Souls 3 until they release an update.
I don't use axes and I haven't used any low stances. Am I missing out?
>>336387567
Mid katana or unarmed. Winning fights in a single parry at any level is just great. Against the big dudes it's high stance axe all the way.
>>336405115
anyone got that pic showing art of the same era from mostly EU countries?
>>336408759
I killed literally the entire first stage for a guy and somehow he still managed to die. I have no clue how it happened.
>>336408897
Axe has some cool moves like a finisher where you hit the enemy with it, swing them around and throw them, give it a try.
best way to get arimata? should i beat up those red sword guys?
>>336408897
Low stance was the best way I found to kill the oni that crawl around and barf in your face
I had more fun with the demo than the entirety of DaS III. If Team Ninja manages to maintain that level of quality it's going to be goty.
Will there be more weapons?
>>336409238
Let the cyclops in area 2 take amrita from you twice so they transform. Kill them to get all your amrita back and then some.
>>336409463
Probably, see >>336391531
>>336387567
my first run I switched between high and mid stance spear.
Now I'm doing another run with katanas and mid stance is the most broken PoS ever. Stunlock every nigga on earth with square mashing.
>>336409645
that'd be cool if i wasn't in area one still...
>>336408897
Low stance katana is the highest damage output method in the game right now and has the ability to stun lock oni when they're out of ki, including bosses.
>>336403081

>>336405115
They placed no importance in it, there was a much stronger movement in writing and poetry.
Pictures and art were a necessity in medieval western culture because no one could fucking read, which lead to the strong development of picture art down the line.
>>336408060
and ninja gaiden has the best combat in an action game also graphics for it's time
>>336410491
They probably prioritize the closest player I believe.

This happens 4 more times, the 4th without me noticing until last minute.
Do I really have to clear out an area before going to the boss? I miss the fog gates...
>>336396959
Sun Ce in Dynasty Warriors is called the little conqueror. His main weapons are tonfas
>>336410948
You are at the second shrine I presume?
Timing is everything. Wait for the Oni to turn his back and try staying as close to the right as possible.
>>336410948
You can wait a couple seconds for the Oni to turn his back and walk away and the crawling guy you should be able to kill pretty quickly at this point. That said I would appreciate fog doors too.
>>336407229
It ends in a couple of days anyway. Game is legit, day 1.
>>336411008
Fuck me, I'm huge DW fan and I forgot about that.
I don't see why tonfas would be a weapon type in this game, though it is possible. Maybe it's just a skin for William? Sun Ce doesn't look too terribly different: darken the hair, remove the majority of the beard, and extend the goatee. Or maybe it'll be his armor instead.
>>336408060
>souls
>combat
BB is the only game with good combat.
>>336410346
Why?
Katana, 2kat, sickle and chain, firearms, bows, axes, hammers, spears; it's literally fine.
You get talisman magic and ninjutsu tools on your offhand as well. Plus we already know there are upgrade paths for each weapon with a single stance already having several moves.
Yesterday I promised you, my brethren, that I would get my mark of the conqueror and today I return triumphant.
>>336385596
I like it as a response to Dark Souls git gud fags.
For years they acted so smug telling anyone who had complaints/trouble with Dark Souls to "git gud". Then comes a game that kicks their ass. But they beat DARK SOULS!! Surely they can't be bad, the game is broken! So they complain the game is bullshit and then they're met with "conquered". The same kinda thing they dismissed others with.
The best part is that Mark of the Conqueror is a real thing they couldn't obtain. It isn't just an abstract dismissal like "git gud".
>>336412012
They should add nunchucks or tonfas
>>336412417
You're stupid.
>>336412417
You're really fucking retarded.
>>336412286
It wasn't as hard as some anons said, in fact you level up pretty fast compared to souls games and the boss have a pretty easy pattern.
How do I get good with spears?
>>336412675
>Conquisidator'd

>>336412484
Why? Who cares if it doesnt match the time period
>>336412870
Told them I would like see Naginatas in the survey. Even if it would just be another type of spear.
>>336412417
NO KANABO NO BUY
>>336412741
medium stance have a great combo, get the skill where you use the spear to do a kick and then just use square, square, square, traingle, then if the enemy have low life use triangle again to impale it, if not use R1 to refill your ki, dodge their next attack and repeat. With a good spear and some levels in body you can kill almost any normal enemy with that combo.
>>336412675
el mejicANO
So you only nave to beat the first level to get the mark?
Beat the first boss and got the mark of the conqueror. Do I get anything for completing the second level, or is it just practice?
>>336413425
yes, after killing the Demon in the boat the game ask you to go to the store to download it.
>>336413548
Great, I only have one more oni to kill to get to the boat. I will join the conquerors!
>>336413537
Why wouldn't you play the second level? You now get a grip on the game mechanics and the game can throw more challenge at you, why would you run away?
>>336413681
I didn't say I wouldn't play it, I'm just wondering if there's any extra benefit like Mark of the Conqueror. The demo ends on Thursday, so I only have tomorrow after work to play it.

No one cared about lords of the fallen either cuck
>>336413781
Nope no mark of the conqueror II. But it's still worth playing.
>>336412941
It's not that it doesn't match the time period (though now that you bring it up, it would be a little silly), but nunchucks and tonfa are dumb weapons to be used in actual life or death combat. A vigoorian flail would be alright, but that's not really just a set of nunchucks.
Any word on release date?
People conquering now are barely conquerors.
People asking for help and beuing guided by real conquerors.
>>336413919
>real conquerors.
Like dsp?
>>336413958
Like it or not, he's a conqueror.
He used a sacred ninjitsu technique before playing though so I don't know if it counts
>>336413863
lords of the fallen it's pretty bad desu

How come this game is only compared to dark souls and not to bloodborne?
We get constant "bloodborne>dark souls" threads and constant "nioh>dark souls threads" but where is the "bloodborne>nioh" or "nioh>bloodborne" threads?

I'd imagine you'll be able to use dual wield like the ninjas and maybe even the single sword moveset that the ninja uses. At least I hope so.

Because deep down everyone knows Dark Souls is the best.
Does anyone know how to use the move that releases ki to stun enemies properly? It says to press triangle at the end of the combo,but I already have moves that do that,nothing seems to work. Any ideas?
>>336383780
aw, did babby get his fee fees hurt by the mean demo?
Do I get anything for beating the second boss? The demo has already sold me on the game and I don't want to spoil any thing else before release.
>>336414380
It's really not though. Des and Bloodborne are both better. Ni-oh seems like ti could be better than all of them if they make the bosses more interesting to fight than not at all.
>>336414236
Because Dark Souls players are triggered so hard across the internet that they've been objectively proven to be worse at videogames than DSP.

I was interested in this game, and this gameplay looks cool and shit but be honest /v/, is this really like dark souls?
I don't like dark souls. Or bloodborne for that matter.
>>336414236
I'm an action game fag so I like bloodborne a lot. I imagine many of the people praising this game also like faster games. Therefore they are likely to prefer BB to DS and DeS much as I do.
That's the generous answer. The likely answer is that shitposting with an exclusive won't piss off as many people. This has a nice cross section with pissing off souls fans from all consoles, not just those who played bb.
>>336414236
I like Bloodborne as an overall game a lot more than I like Nioh so far (taking into account that Nioh is just a demo, obviously), but Nioh's combat feels REALLY good.

Nobunaga wore western armor, so there might be a western sword?
Speaking of which, since this does take place in the Sengoku era, I wonder if we'll see important people from that era.
>>336390959
This looks kinda like the Killer 7 CL guy
I'm impressed with the demo, I found no game-breaking bugs at all, that's impressive considering it's an alpha.
>>336414812
My only complaint about the combat is the lack of different finishers when the guys run out of stamina. Thinking back to Ninja Gaiden, there were always cool and gory as fuck finishing moves. Would like to see those implemented.
>>336414757
It has some strong similarities to Souls.
>level up using some sort of metaphysical currency that you use to increase individual stats that scale weapon damage at different rates
>drop your amrita/souls on death and need to go get them back
>checkpoints (shrines/bonfires) that you level up at and that respawn all enemies when you use them
Where it differs, though, is the combat, which is very, very different. That's what keeps it from being Japanese Lords of the Fallen: the combat is a whole other kind of game and it's very good.
>that map screen music tho
felt so awesome hearing it once I beat the first boss

>is this really like dark souls?
The combat is different, but there's some other similarities like how you lose your 'souls' when you die, the way the levels are designed are clearly imitating Souls design, stuff like that.
>>336415025
Yeah, I agree, that'd be really good. I hope we get more weapon types in the full game, too.
>>336414757
It looks like Dark Souls on the surface but plays nothing like it and those who try to play it as DaS are crying that the game is shit or too hard.
>>336414850
Nobunaga never used or manufactured western swords. He wore western armor because it was more efficient and allowed him to stand out from the other feudal lords. Beyond that his focus was on producing firearms.
During Nobunaga's time as a Feudal Lord Japan produced more firearms than anywhere else in the world.
Nobunaga literally didn't give a shit about swords in any capacity to the point where he only wore katana as a ceremonial piece of attire.

I have a pet peeve with souls games: Arrows cost XP. Is that still the case? Is there a single currency for levelling up and for buying shit?
>>336385365
I beat DeS. Got up to the Libraries in DS1. Sampled DS2. Hit a wall with Vordt in 3...
then I caught wind of this game and the upcoming demo. It took me about 3 to 4 days to beat the first level/boss but now i'm aggressively cutting through DS3 ever since
Thanks Nioh, for making megit gud

Everything starts after this title, god tier

Gold is separate from amrita (experience), but there are also no shops (at least in the demo). You can currently only use gold to buy shrine blessings, little passive buffs to drop rates and shit, and you can turn in your unwanted drops at shrines to get random consumables back (including arrows).
I'd guess there'll be shops in the full game because it seems like gold is used for nothing at all in the demo.
>>336414954
I've had the axe oni phase into the house he spawns on in the first stage several times.
I've also had the stone warriors phase into Nue's area on two occasions.
Have they said anything about how story heavy this is gonna be? Is it gonna be obscure and esoteric like DS and Bloodborne? Or is it going to be more traditional and cutscene like?
