Lets have a chill Nioh thread

...

Game sucks. Where's Bloodborne 2?

I just finished the game. It gets a 8/10 from me. Was pretty nice. Could be improved here and there to really stand out but it's worth a try if you like Souls.

could they fix some of those things with patches?

I keep hearing its easier than BB, which was plenty easy for seasons Souls fans. Is it true?

its hard at first then it dies down to souls level. At least it did for me. Shit ton of content though

>bought game because of ign rating
>play 5 hours of game
>combat is so janky and unfulfilling
>story literally is inexistant
>enemies react to almost nothing

Thats the last time I listen to IGN

Not really maybe with DLC. The enemy variety isn't that big. Many recolors/reskins with the same movesets. Most side missions aren't that fun. The level design in some stages is pure garbage other are really fun. It's just inconsistent overall. Also some bosses are really fun other are just boring and somehow they reuse the most boring ones for side missions etc.

I played through all Souls games (even Lords of the Fallen), all Ninja Gaiden games and even all Onimusha games. The game was challenging in the beginning but after I got a comfortable setup it got progressively easier. Usually it took me only 2 tries for bosses. Overall the game is not hard for souls fans.

>No NG++ confirmed
>divine weapon bonus levels only got up to +5

fuck
the endgame stuff on NG+ had better be absolutely brutal

So how is the level design? Is it the same level as what we saw in the alpha & beta? That's pretty much the only thing holding me back on Nioh.

Never ever, peacock.

The starter pokemons are shit, are the other pokemons better?

>shit ton of content
>already finished

Yeah, no. This game seems like it's too sparse for the full price.

>a grand total of 5 areas
>in two different shades
>the entire game
You know what a demo is right?

The water starter is best because it evolves nicely into using the other pokemon

i was one of the few who got the review copy

I meant to ask is it the same level of quality. As in, can I expect the real game to have actually well designed levels in it somewhere or are they just as shitty as in the tests?

How is 1kat? 2kat seems kinda weird so far. Thinking about going 1kat/spear.

If you want DaS1 level design forget it. Some levels are nice but most levels confine you into narrow paths all the time that open up into some bigger arieas. But the shrines are always near and the shortcuts are almost useless if you know what you are doing.

Beat the game with 1kat/axe. Towards the end I didn't use the axe anymore and went full 1kat. Shit was pretty fun.

>Believing Lies on the internet.

Gonna pick it up today.
Is it as hard as they say or is its difficulty a meme like dark souls'?

This Hino bitch is really fucking me up.

That is quite unfortunate. An RPG with a gimped combat system (good by souls standards, not very good by action game standards) but none of the other good elements to make up for it. Why didn't they just make another Ninja Gaiden if they weren't going to do this game properly?

More like action difficulty where when you get used to it, the only challenge is groups/bosses

It's not harder really maybe the same but less tedious.

How long is the game?

>pcucks shitposting
>while everyone else is playing
How's the petition going? kek

If you rush it and you're good then it's around 15 to 20 hours.

Most people are finishing the main story around 30 to 40 hours.

nice

>mark of the conqueror still bugged
Nice fucking game

>using my last 2 vacation days this friday and monday to play nioh for 96 hours straing

you can redownload it through the playstore

of course there's no NG++, there's not even a NG+

it's a "post-game" with unlocks (like a new selectable difficulty mode), you don't start over

they'll release Bloodborne 2 with PS5.

>played 1kat in alpha
>2kat in beta
>Kurisgama thing in last chance

Tell me bros. How is axe and spear?

Spear seems OP from streams I saw, just team rolls through bosses
Axe is too slow

It was so disappointing finding out this person ISNT a trap

>tfw 1 try with shit gears and level
still remembered her pattern from the beta

I'm playing the first few missions and using the Spear feels cheap and dirty as fuck.

> Fast
> Long Range
> depletes Ki like a motherfucker
> breaks guard easily and staggers

I've already beat the first two bosses with relative ease.

I'm very interested in using the Axe but I feel like the combos may be too slow to not get shit on in two hits by everything.

The real problem with the spear is that its tied to a stat that everyone is going to be investing in anyway. they need to change that

NEVER

Body? It's not really a big deal, eventually starts to give you less and you might prefer Stamina if you want HP (for equip load .. if you care for HP it probably means you want good armor too).

Dexterity with Kusarigama is a lot bigger deal since it gets you ninjutsu.

They need to change fucking everything in this game

720p 60 fps regular ps4
'movie' mode 900p 30 fps regular ps4
1080p 60 fps pro
'movie' mode 2160p 30 fps pro
Thoughts?

This. People are pointing out all kinds of issue and all I'm seeing is an inconsistent mess that should strayed true to its vision in the alpha. The game is already feeling like a chore for me because it's just not fun.

You know what would fix half the issues people are having? Putting durability back in. Seeing how OP the gear can get it's more apparent now why they had it in the first place than it was when people demanded they remove it.

not like it mattered much even in the alpha, you could farm whetstone super easily and I assume the smith (if had been in the alpha) would've had a repair option

it's just that thing you'd have to do on the side, and still end up using your best gears anyway

>non-stop shilling right up until the day of release
>suddenly dead quiet

What did Sup Forums mean by this?

>Do same quest 5 times to farm raging bull set
>BUT LOL YOU CANT WEAR IT
>Have trouble boss
>Put on set for the extra numbers and win
>Set gets 90% destroyed in the process
>All that grinding for literally nothing

No thanks I"ll pass

people are playing the game

maybe
get this
just maybe
they are playing the game

It's only out in America right now which is in various states of being asleep
Plus the prerelease streams killed a lot of the excitement for it, Sony should've made a cutoff point like Namco did for DS3 (before MS created a loophole).

people are playing, duh?

the only reason I'm here is that I'm a gigantic faggot who /motion sickness/ after playing 8 hours, and need a break to recover

playing the game, dipshit

>already finished it

whaat..? how? how many hours did you spend on it?

>they are playing the game

Yeah no, I remember when BB came out and the whole board was exploding. If this was good people would be here talking about it.

4

Took me around 40h or something, got it already on saturday morning and beat it just 2h ago.

Explain, did you just rush to the main boss? it's impossbile to beat the whole game and fighting each boss that fast

Is going up spiral staircases really fucked for anyone else?

The camera keep sperging out

it's not as good as bloodborne and doesn't have nearly as much of a following, there's no sense trying to make a comparison. People are grossly underestimating just how many bloodborne threads there were prior to release.

some people even have over 100h on it already with pretty much everything done, physical copy been in the wild for a week now

That's cause those threads were assravaged PC players falseflagging.

britbong here, just came in the post
shit's tight, basically a not broken souls game
it's been a while since i've played just a fucking good game and i can tell i'm going to enjoy the hell out of this

Did anyone else get 2 preorder codes from Amazon with one not working?

Someone post the pasta

this

london? I don't recall anything weird in those, I recall I was manually turning the camera though

you could try turning off the automatic camera adjustment too, unless you like it anyway

i used to believe those feelings then i got passed the first three hours of MGSV

what the fuck? i thought the game released yesterday/today

>it's not as good as bloodborne

But you retards constantly claimed it was a soulskiller. What happened?

Game's JUST released, why are you people lying about being finished?

protip: don't fight on ledges while you're on the high ground

half your fucking attacks will miss

yeah they sent me two as well but you are able to redeem one of them. The other one was sent because of a glitch

>complain about not knowing where to walk in the water and how it instantly kills you
>user: "lol, try swimming in armor.. of course you'll drown"
>finish london in full plate armor
>this happens

But I thought it'd be over if you have the high ground...

They realized it was just an entire game of chalice dungeons with a weebshit re-skin so they decided they were FINISHED with the game.

Post your Glamourai

yes, but stores in some regions always break street dates and they've received game's shipment a week ago or so

Most of the game is optional content.

> average weight

how can you tolerate playing like that

the controls and dodges feel unresponsive as shit

nice falseflag

Why lying? Got the physical copy on saturday. And every new stage was already littered with corpses of people that got there before me. I saw people already showing off their copy a week ago. Not everybody is waiting for the digital copy to unlock.

sooo.. they're lying?

My copy arrived earlier (UK)

What a jolly game.

ANY DUTCHFAGS IN HERE? WHEN DO YOU RECEIVE YOUR PHYSICAL COPY AND WHAT STOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I hope it goes on sale soon.

I liked the demo but it didn't give me the feel it's a 60 euro game unfortunately.

ill get the game later today but here is mine from the demo

>falseflag
>implying pcucks even know what chalice dungeons are

did you get any pre order bonuses with it i for the life of me can't fucking find shit on it

Is there a way to spec your character to play like Ninja Gaiden or DMC where you don't have to pay too much attention to stamina like the Souls games?

I can't stop reading Suneate as Sun Eater with the r cut off because the text box is too small.

Help.

if you preordered from amazon check your email

>tfw you can't sell/dismantle any of the pre-order stuff and it's all obsolete (and could smith better versions anyway)
forever there in storage for no reason... literally only used for the first area (minus prologue)

Guys, before I start the game, should I use the default controller layout or the soulslike one?

mine is still preparing for dispatch so no email yet
but the uk one does come with pre order bonus?

default

No. You can go light armor and use dual katanas or kuras and play like a ninja but even then you will run out of stamina.

people have had the game for days
we already know that there's only one additional difficulty and no real post game beyond the 2 2v1 fights and one easy boss back in England. There's no NG cycles or anything, so Mark of the Warrior is it, there's no way to make the game harder for yourself past that point without immediately resorting to challenge runs.

This is yet another game that could've used a bloody palace style thing to extend its playtime past 50 hours that will never get one. Either all the longevity will come from the pvp or it'll die quietly.

as long as you ki pulse / ki pulse dodge properly, stamina is really.. just not an issue, it's just constant combos/dodging

get yourself in blue weight for extra regen on top, and you can eventually get your ki pretty damn high if you wish
