PC port

Hopes? Enough end game content. Maybe they add some rift like Diablo shit.

Nothing really. I liked the demo a lot. Day one buy.

Having only played the last demo, I hope the levels are more than just narrow corridors.

>What are your hopes for the game

Ninja Diablo Souls Gaiden Black.

More of the same, grinding for better loot, collecting sets, kiling enemies, getting stronger, getting better loot, killing stronger enemies, getting stronger, rinse and repeat until I have the best shit in the game with the best values against the hardest enemies, and then piss off and move on with my life to the next game.

Looks like Berserk.

Anons, recommend some good Japanese sengoku period movies I can watch to get hyped for this game.

As someone who wants to go 1 Katana, what stats do you guys think? How about heavy armour? Fuck I'm hyped for this pls advise honourable senpais

I wish it would have a deep or at least engaging storyline/worldbuilding like Souls games and Bloodborne.

I hope they adjust the balance and make it a bit easier so more 'average' gamers like myself can enjoy it

This is a preview of the Defiled Holy Mountain mission PS Access did last week. The level goes from Caverns, to a mountainside, to a forest, seems pretty big.

Nue map in Alpha was smaller than the Ogress level, but it had larger open areas and folded in on itself so it lasted a bit longer. Onryoki, the first map in Alpha/Beta and the final game's first mission, is bigger than the Ogress map, but about half the size of the Defiled Holy Mountain. And Hino-Enma's mission, another boss in Beta, had a map about the same size as Ogress from the last chance demo, but the entire map was very narrow so it felt a lot longer.

Basically, you'll see bigger maps, you'll see smaller maps, outside of being restricted to the kind of environments you'd see in Japan, they all seem to vary quite a bit from one another.

>wanting a lorefest like DS where your character has no personality or characteristics of their own

Fuck. That.
I'm sick of the silent protag of souls games that just some emotionless cunt. I'd take William over DS1,2 and bloodbornes protag any day of the week.

>William
>personality
>characteristics
He has a predefined appearance and that's about it.

...

>He didn't read the manga.
>He didn't watch the movie.
>He didn't follow the game at all.

You really should at least read a couple things if you're going to bother statements like that, at least you won't be as wrong as you are now.

Who's the dickhat ejaculate strainer?

He has a moral compass, he cares out Saoirse enough to go from Ireland all the way across the world to Japan, he hates Kerry, he admires one of the samurai's in the trailer that takes him in. There's much more in the manga user. You're behind.

Is Oni ever going to happen?

woah woah woah, movie? I knew about the others but wtf? how do I not know about this? why isn't Koei marketing this shit?

*script.

I'm sorry. Movie /script/.

On the plus side, if the game is a success commerically, which is very much looking like it will be the case. The movie isn't out of the realm of possibilities.

Just checked and the game is 49.99 on newegg for some reason, if anybody wants to save some tendie money

Tenkai Is a monk, onmyodo teacher and practitioner of the Tendai sect of Esoteric Buddhism. He wields great power in the art of guardian spirits. He is very concerned about Kelly’s misuse of his powers, and will lend William is aid against him.

Fuku is s disciple of Tenkai, and a female Onmyodo teacher. She is powerful in ssummoning spirits, and she sees through William’s ability, which is why she takes him under her wing to teach him her art.

Tenkai and Fuku meet william at the Honnoji Temple, after he has been cursed by the ice of a Yuki Onna. After that, they accompany him to Sekigahara, teaching him various aspects of the art of Onmyodo.

Nioh isn't related to the Kurosawa script anymore

A non-shit ki system that rewards the player instead of being an arbitrary button press at the end of each string and poke which has been fooling nu-males into thinking it's a deep game.
Also, the stance system is pointless as is even with the ki flash perk. Could just have more buttons desu.

Other than that, it looks great.

But that's wrong you fucking moron.

weeaboo foulsfaggot trash

I just want female skins

>I just want female skins

>rewards the player
but the ki system rewards the player with getting rid of yokai zones thatd rains your stamina

>the stance system is pointless as is even with the ki flash perk

The stance you use blocks attacks from that stance the best rather than a mid stance blocking a low stance.

>calls button mashing a 'system'

ITT delusional soulsfaggots

t. conquered.

but you can't button mash. The system is literally built against that. Even if you use the ki pulse and attack and continue doing so you run out of stamina either way, you have to back off and you can't circle strafe for backstabs to let your stamina come back because there is no backstabs. Why are you mad?

it's true though
they scrapped the original script

see

Like what? What would you change?

I think the current system works well.

see you retard

But that's wrong you fucking retard.

>Also, the stance system is pointless
>you get more KI if you stance switch
>you even get a damage buff if you stance switch

please stop posting.

he's right though
you're a fucking retard

"No"

How I usually did it is have about 10 points in every attribute (except for onmyo/jutsu unless I was going for that build) to meet all stat requirements for the armors. And pump the rest of my points into primary and secondary weapons stats

I lost all hopes after they kept revealing pointless and awful, art and tone inconsistent women to the game. There is literally no reason for their inclusion besides appeasing shithead otaku.

>you said that you were working on a script with Akira Kurosawa. I'm curious how much of that original script, how much of that collaboration, still exists within the Nioh that we're seeing right now.

>Well, practically, it just crashed, and we started again from square one. You can say that this game is entirely original and independent from that of Kurosawa's unfinished script

That "reward" is shit because it doesn't reward the player's efforts with fuckall and is basically a side effect of playing the game properly. On top of all that, to make the pulse system as seemingly as shitty as possible, they made it constant and really easy. So there's this brief adjustment period where you're getting used to it, and at this point you think you have this interesting mechanic, but after you get used to it, it just becomes a constant chore you have to do and not in a good or interesting way.

There should hage been multiple types of Ki pulses, including ones you use in offense (aka instant stamina on hit) instead of some pissbaby mechanic you use to reset neutral.

Stances still suck pretty bad even with that new knowledge.

I put spirit to 11 just for the bonuses from the summons. I usually prefer passives before actives though.

You're a retard.

...

Rewards offense instead of resetting neutral.
Multiple types of ki pulses, including one with much tighter timing for every landed hit providing a partial refund in stamina to allow players to continue offense for additional attacks if they have the timing. Or maybe a special finisher at the end of a string that has a property suck as knockdown or huge stam damge (like the kick, but better and with execution requirements). Like anything here.

more variety

Female skins

Oh yea, completely forgot to mention that I had 12 in spirit as well

I have no idea what build to go with at launch, everything seems pretty good in this game.

Also I don't know if I should actually put points into body at all given that you can get hp on gear / from spirit animal passives, gonna be hard to resist my souls cap values like getting 50 vit

I want to fight all these strong as fuck niggas from the Sengoku era

Post your glamourai (fashion souls for nioh)

Fuckin post your William's.

That the combat has enough variety for multiple play throughs. That it doesn't feel like another soulless sengoku era ripoff of a popular game like toukiden. I have not played the demos.

...

...

...

>jacking other characters style instead of making your own

4/10

>special finisher at the end of a string that has a property suck as knockdown
Thats in the game as a learnable skill

As for timing there is that as well, if you spam ki pulse after a attack string you don't get all your stamina back, only a small amount, you gotta wait to be able to ki pulse to get all of your stam back, but wait to long and you get nothing.

Will the story be good?

That THAT's the cover holy shit

Fuck your style, I want my bonuses.

Combat was cool, level design was poo.

Might pick up in a couple years for cheap with a cheap PS4.

just use refashion faggot

>Keeping all of one style
Fucking gross.
Notice how this guy has most of the same armor as you but looks completely different?
Don't be shit user

>Got some rare things on sale, Stranger

I literally never bothered with the blacksmith except for the soul whatever thing.

>720p
> On pro

No

Thats why you look like such a shit ass busta.
Like being penetrated in the hole so much you put them all over your outfit and entered a swordfight.

Oh, you will. It sounds like you'll have to beat the masters to earn the titles they have.

Not the cover, its fanart.

One of the best parts about Nioh is you can refashion armor into whatever you want and keep the same look the entire game if you want while still getting better armor. I'll be keeping at least one of every type and look of armor piece in my storage shed so I can mix shit up whenever I want.

That was a fuckin' home run idea right there. This games gonna be amazing for both souls fans and general fans of Team Ninja.

Thats wrong though.

Fashion-Oh isn't as catchy as Fashion Souls or Fashionborne though

Not fanart, it's the old art from before the rebuild.

That's the old 2005 era artwork for Nioh.

This is the current box art.

american version doesn't have asian people on the cover

Played ffirst demo was good

Ignored second demo since they casualized due to babies crrying.

No interest anymore. Either be dark souls hard which isnt even hard, or fuck off

...

Not as badass desu.

>since they casualized
>armor and weapons degrading so fast they broke mid-battle with bosses

Shut the fuck up.

SOMEONE POST THE WEBM OF THE DUDE WHO KEEPS DODGING AN ONI OGRE THING'S RUSH ATTACK

learn to git gud or shut the fuck up, you're ruining my gaming experience, baby

The game is roughly as difficult, if not more, than Souls in the latest versions though.

There's no difficulty in durability, just tedium. The only other difficulty change was you only wheeze when hit while out of stamina instead of the instant you're out.

I go both ways on it, I think it should have been kept in but in the alpha shit DID break way to fast.

But the last chance thing showed me its fine, weapon durability aint that big a loss.

Guess you're right, but in souls if you wanna wear a certain fashion you like you gotta deal with whatever negatives come with it.

You could argue "I'm gud so it doesn't matter." But Niohs refashion mechanic is just an objectively better way of handling aesthetic immersion.

there's nothing "git gud" about that you idiot. It's just hard for the sake of being hard, no skill required. Thank fuck you're not getting this game. I won't have to deal with autists like you.

This game could be 4k 120fps folded over 1000 times and it would still look pretty bad because of a he bland, generic western art style they used. The rest of the game looks so good that it doesn't matter though.

>learn to git gud
I said Shut the Fuck Up. Do you not understand English?

The old system was fucking absurd in its implementation and deserved to be scrapped. Anyone defending that shit is a goddamn imbecile. Even folks like XLHGladiator said the Alpha was irredeemably broken.

The game has items to fix equipment, and you can judge the state of your equipment before a battle and other solutions

Sorrry you don't like to think and be skilled

Wtf this game was being developed in 2005? I thought it was just fanart.

this. Alpha was just unnecessarily tedious

Got through the first demo just fine. I didn't have a million complains and go crying on twitter to the devs to make it easier

Please kill yourselves, you fucking autistic nerrdy faggot losers

Oh no I agree the mechanic in nioh is better, I was just saying the name aint as good.

They break at a extremely fast rate you fuck. Doesn't matter if you have the item to fix the equipment, doing that every 2 mins is tedious as fuck and you're more than likely going to run out of items to fix it at the rate they break.

You must have fucking LOVED the corrosive urns in DS2.

how about glamourai

Exactly, there wasn't anything "hard" about the weapon/armor degradation shit. It was nothing more than busywork.

I played the first demo so much I remember clear as day that even Onryoki's retaliatory backward swing (the one he does if you stand behind him) would fucking make your armor go into critical health.

One hit. In the situation where you need your armor most. And to repair your weapons and armor you need to sacrifice a quick slot just to repair that shit.

It was bad game design, pointed out by many, and dumped.

I bet the threads just get called "Nioh Fashion thread. What you boys
