NIOH THREAD: DLC EDITION

So when do you think we're getting the DLC?

• Dragon of the North – Venture deep into Japan’s embattled Northern provinces

• Defiant Honor – Fight in the bloody Winter Campaign of the Siege of Osaka

• Bloodshed’s End – Bring the Siege of Osaka to an end during the Summer Campaign


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Osaka


>DLC #1 will introduce Date Masamune. This is supported by the fact that he is on the Season Pass image and that he HAS to be introduced prior to DLC #2 and #3 as he was a commander in the Siege of Osaka

>DLC #2 and #3 will take place 14 years after the Battle of Sekigahara (Where you fought Sakon Shima and the other guy with the Spiritfu before Kelley makes a giantass skeleton) as the second and third DLC deal with the Siege of Osaka in 1614

>The famous warrior, Yukimura Sanada takes part in this battle too on the opposing team. I'm not sure if he'll be a boss or not, since he commits seppuku from being tired after defeating a shit ton of people

>Ieyasu's third son takes part in this battle

>Ii Naomasa's (The Red Demon spear guy) son takes part in this way on Ieyasu's side

>Honda fights in this battle too

>This was the last major battle Ieyasu had. Finally defeating the son of Hideyoshi, Hideyori, he had gained control of Japan with no big opposition. Expect an ending with like, the sky clearing and a rainbow or something

tl:dr: I can't wait for the DLC

It's okay when sony does it

REMINDER THAT HANZO WILL DIE IN THIS DLC

HE DIED THERE HISTORICALLY. IT'S GONNA HAPPEN.

FEMALE

Getting Berserk musou instead of the dlc

So many better musou games

C'mon user, it's a reasonably priced season pass.

It's only $25 comapred to the retarded $40-50 standard that others charge.

The 3 DLC packs will probably add over 15 new missions. new weapons, new armor sets, etc.

but they don't have Guts and Griffith, and it can't be as bad Arslan was. . .

This is true, let us hope the content ends up being good. It definitely is reasonably priced

I wonder how they'll handle the battle.

>Nintendo announces DLC
>IT'S OVER NINTENDO IS FINISHED

>Anyone else announces DLC
>LET'S HAVE DAILY SHILL THREADS SUCKING THEIR DICKS THANK YOU CORPORATE OVERLORDS

i wish it would change genres to samurai warriors for a level

that'd be revolutionary

>buying Omega Force games

Probably some caves caves and more caves.

I like the game a lot but man, I can only take so many caves.

>Dragon of the North

This sounds like a pvp expansion

>game has total shit music
>blocks system music player and spotify app

They just gave up with certain aspects of this game.

So? The game does nothing to make you feel any sort of attachment to any of the characters. I dont give the first fuck if Hanzo dies.

>Nintendo announces $20 DLC
>In-game Switch shirt! xdddd 4th wall break amirite
>1 new dungeon! WOOOAH!
>"Original Story" (That'll probably just be only for that one dungeon and have no impact to the overall story)
>Hard MODE! that should've been in the game
>Gauntlet of enemies! woooohohohoa!


>Nioh has $25 DLC
>3 story DLC that continues the story of Edo era Japan
>Definitely will have new weapons and armor sets to coincide with the new characters that will be in the DLC
>Will probably eventually get PVP as a free expansion


Yeeeah.... For just $25, this is resonably priced. Nintendo's season pass is only worth $10 at best

H...Hey... I felt sad when the Old man sacrificed himself in the burning castle

Dragon quest wasn't bad.

>Some random ass old man who you never really interacted with before needlessly sacrifices himself when he can make a get away
>HAHA IM SENDING THEM TO HELL ANJIN!!
>They are just enemy soldiers following orders. They arent oni or goons of Kelly or anything

If they wanted me to feel for this guy they should have had him rescue me at some point or do a mission where he and I are tag teaming enemies or something.

The fact that you called him 'Old man' is telling.

I want to know the size of the content first before anything else. Each DLC better be at least 1 full region minimum. Their own twilight/ng+ variants included.

The diablo loot system means each zone will likely come with its own difficulty setting and a raise to item level. The game is balanced around endgame grinding for rare stats and putting together gear builds.

I hope we get to dual date masamune and his infamous six sword fighting style

You probably will as a friendly like Tachibana and Honda, since Date is allied with Ieyasu

This ain't a capcom game bro.

>tfw Nioh: Black

PLEASE

>date masamune
>six swords

that's wrong, sengoku basara needed variety since it was a musou so they decided to give him rule of cool six swords. Sanada didn't dual wield spears either

>Leyasu orders you killed
>hanzo lies to cover you and Leyasu knows he's lyign

How do you think mr 'peace at any cost' is going to treat the fame gaijan oni slayer returning to his japan?

What would be the best console for me?
I hate violent games.

I hate indie games

I do not like nintendo

I just want AAA games And look for games rated E for Everyone in the ESRB

>DW hate meme

the kill yourself gamestation

he'll probably have sword/gun like in Samurai Warriors

the only thing that will compel me to buy these DLCs is if tadakatsu is a glorious god of battle that shits on literally anything and everything

>L
Nigga you stupid.

Does anyone know what the titles are between unarmed samurai and martial arts novice? Been halfway through NG+ and beat some stuff up with my fists for good measure but I still apparently haven't done whatever it is you're supposed to do there.

One is Weaponless Wonder: Defeated a fiend with your bare hands

The price isn't the issue here. The dev clearly intended to end the game with siege of Osaka but the publisher decided to go full jew by having the customer pay extra.

>new weapon

Is this weapon class?

>shilling for Nooh-oh
Pathetic

lu bu, zhao yun, sun shang xiang dlc

As long as I can get the moth fuccboi guardian along with female transformations then I'm happy.

Also I just finally finished region 4 and that fucking Honda asshole, jesus christ. What is up with that regen spell he casts? Ruined my first attempt at him. Second attempt I did something that somehow canceled it. Anyone have any idea what that could have been?

How do you use kusarigama effectively?
I just got into NG+ and reset my stats from 1kat and axe build into spear and kusari build.
I can get around using spear but I just cant do shit properly with kusarigama. Took me almost a minute just to beat revenant that keep blocking.

Where's the source?

did you even play the game? Cause I thought this game was about William's journey to get his spiritfu back and defeat Kelley with his path intertwining with what was going on in Japan.

Yeah you're fucked if you let him use regen spell. It runs out after a while but it would fully heal him when it does.

How do I gather wool ?

>Cause I thought this game was about William's journey to get his spiritfu back and defeat Kelley with his path intertwining with what was going on in Japan
Do you even know the meaning of Nioh?

>Basing shit off the name alone

Nioh is righteous warrior/protector/ruler I think. Enlighten me if I'm wrong though Professor Basement.

>tfw too retarded to realize this guy hates you when you first meet him and have to prove yourself to him.

Did you miss a cutscene and a few missions, user?

W- Moth guardian is a boy?

Moth is cute

>have to prove yourself to him.

It was he who needed to prove himself to me and he never did. So good riddance.

>W- Moth guardian is a boy?
Yes.

>As long as I can get the moth fuccboi guardian along with female transformations then I'm happy.


People who play female avatars in a nutshell

so are all of the regions the same length? I'm about to be entering the fourth and I feel like I'm gonna grow tired of the game before I hit the end... the first three took 20hrs

Exactly. William realized he actually want to become one after being questioned by Ieyasu. Seeing that vision from Amrita about upcoming battle at Osaka means that his quest into becoming a Nioh isn't over yet.

Fuck Hanzo
Fuma is better

>beat Honda without getting hit
>thrice
>title never unlocks

Help. Does it have to be the one in the crystal mission or something? I was just doing his solo duel.

>mfw seeing William using Uroburos ability to disguise himself
THEN WHY CAN'T WE HAVE IT AS GUARDIAN SPIRIT AS WELL. TEAM NINJAAAAAAAAAAA

William realized he never put any thought into why he fights and he never makes any sort of affirmative comment about it one way or another. The whole shit is about getting his waifu back (Possibly for no other reason than to secure his immortality) and then the cliff hanger at the end is focused on Hanzo which implies he wants to save the closest thing he ever had to a friend

At no point do I see any indication of William wanting to be a benevolent ruler.

Don't think the solo ones do it, it wouldn't give me the title for the frog guy either until I did it in his actual level.

Because it wasn't a guardian spirit you dumb shit.

The bullshit one is the leper takes his moth with him.

And it is the same for Bloodborne.
>Hides Ludwig, Lawerance and Maria in the DLC
And yet it is one of the best DLC i played.

I think the humanoid spirits are the sentient ones and those ones cant be passed on

Lu Bu boss fight

Le Yasu Face

>No cool barehanded martial arts moves

This game failed me on that. I want some karate/aikido moves.

I hope they fix this in Nioh 2.

niohs dlc is literally cut content.
The fucking ending of the game is literally proof of this.

That could be pretty neat.

>All these people complaining about the DLC

>tfw I bought the game for only $42 AND the season pass for normal price... making my purchase STILL cheaper than the game by itself so it's as if I didn't get any cut content

Always easy to spot the jew. You out yourself by having this mush satisfaction over saving some shekels.

>The fucking ending of the game is literally proof of this.
Go ahead and justify this. I can't wait.

>square, square, triangle is fun meme
how you people remember to even breathe is beyond me

>He doesnt like saving money

Wow, you must be that one guy I sold my Fire Emblem Fates CE box to for $50

I'm not liking this ninja stage.

Please tell me the boss isn't hard.

One of the best bosses in the game actually. And he doesnt have any unfair bullshit tacked on either

Get the skills that let you throw out the weight and use them on humanoid blockers. It'll pull them to you and open them up for a hit or two. Make sure to grab the low stance combo extender, as that will allow you to pile on damage. The high stance sweep skill is amazing, too. You can use that to knock someone down and get a free final blow. The kick skill is, as always, very useful. Low stance has a fantastic quick and strong combo chains, while high stance is perfect for using on enemies getting up or recovering from a lack of ki. Low is also perfect for applying elements or status ailments. It's my preferred stance for most things, with high being used when I've created an opening. I haven't found too much use for mid stance aside from the kick, as I switched my "while blocking" skill on low stance to a move that whips the weight around in a 360. a few times before chucking it out.

DSP only died less than 20 times. You're good

...

Surely no level can be worse than that Umi-Bozu one, right?

That was the only bad one

Against the boss or the whole game?
If the later it isn't something great either.

Theres no point arguing with a retard that cant see this for himself.

>10 years in production to polish the game and make it remarkable experience
>non-cosmetic DLC announced before release
>people still defend this
This is why I don't buy KT vanilla games and why modern game market is shit

Boss

He has over 100 deaths

silver mines.

Atleast the poison rocks dont respawn

>say random dumb shit
>get called out
>has no argument whatsoever
>ad hominem
lol

Reminder: This Hanzo isn't the historical Hanzo. His father, pronounced Giant Toad, is the historical Hanzo.

Not the guy you are replying to but it looked more like an advertisement for the upcoming DLC than cut content. They literally grabbed 5 seconds of largely unfinished cutscenes and put it into a 'vision of the future'

Going to need you to explain how that is cut content.

Announced 10 years ago.
Movie fell through.
In development hell for 7 years.
3 years of actual development spread over the 10 years.

kek nintendrones in full retaliation mode after being BTFO

>Continued support announced before release
>This is considered a bad thing

Let me guess. The three patches that we've gotten since the game released to tweak balance and add stuff to the glory shop was also a case of the devs holding out on us right?

Unrelated; can anyone follow the fucking story in Nioh? The cutscenes are disjointed and unclear, on top of that theres a million different Japanese names, clans, and allegiances to keep track of that are just briefly mentioned in passing. I never really understand the premises of half the missions in this game, I totally given up on trying to follow it.

good game besides that

thanks for proving you never played one

>being this much good goy
I will just wait for GOTY this summer and buy it for $30 for Christmas. There is shitload other games to play that have finished content at release.

Ive noticed this about a lot of japanese and korean media. Asia just has a very different idea of how a good narrative works.

The story is this.
William is chasing after Kelley for stealing his Guardian Spirit. This so happens to take him to japan in which he lives through multiple historical events while searching for Kelley.
That's it.
Everything else is a warped recreation of Japanese history.

The fuck is this retard on about?

It is such a niche title that it had a limited release.
Don't expect a GOTY version of the game.

Its the leavings of the game being a Musou. They dont do anything to educate you on the characters or world. My advice is to stop reading the text and play it as William. You have no idea whats going on or what these people are saying. You're just here for your waifu

>My face when Nig nog Samurai's death was supposed to me emotional and touching
>When he was killed on the same level he was introduced

If they had good writers they would have painted nig nog samurai as your rival to keep in them with foreigners changing the face of Japan. But instead the devs just assumed everyone has played samurai warriors or at least had some cursory knowledge of the era and didn't do shit to bring uneducated players in.

This is why most people have an aversion to games with this kind of setting. They always just assume you as a player are a massive weeb.

Pic related. If you want to know anyting about anything you better open the in-game wiki

Besides all the supernatural stuff the game is filled with japanese history so it's a basically weeb version of Forest Gump.
