ITT : autistic things done to limit ourselves

>Living Weapon is OP
>feel bad
>???
>pretend its William's equivalent of Kamehameha and use it on enemies only 1 hit from dying

Its the most satisfying fucking thing I swear.

Is that autistic? I found myself only using it in pinch scenarios, whether I was about to die or the boss was one hit away and unleashing a shitstorm of aoe.

Living weapon trivializes most of the game.

>Living weapon trivializes most of the game

Nioh is so damn broken I can name a dozen things that should be nerfed or patched. Starting with fucking sloth.

Another thing i do to make it harder is use half magic half ninja tools. Full magic just cheeses everything, and ninjutsu is useless

I honestly dont know why people summon visitors. Only takes 3 tries of dying to a boss to understand all its phases

I turn off the console and restart if I ever faint/cart in Monster Hunter. If I can't beat it without dying I'm not good enough.

I quit playing Jean D'Arc when I realised I got to the final boss without any of my guys dying and when I got there one of them did and I got a tutorial on what to do if they die. I felt so shit I quit and never played it again.

it was fun

>the 1 life turnoff

Fuck me I used to do this too, especially during my roleplay Battlefield days where you add more suspense to the campaign and play realistically. You'd be surprised how cautiously you play like a real soldier would with 1 life given a day.

I literally run through the whole stage in living weapon spaming blade spin it's fun as fuck.

Fucking kill yourself nerffag.

>Go 80 magic and 20 ninjutsu
>Have 6 sloth and 8 foot spike things

Yes they do stack and the results are hilarious, cant wait to cheese PvP

>I turn off the console and restart if I ever faint/cart in Monster Hunter.

I'm not sure if that counts as a limitation, since some people do that just to avoid wasting some annoying-to-farm buff items.

One of the reasons the Souls series is famous is the difficulty. But go ahead and keep playing a broken ass game. Shame because I love Nioh's setting and the heart they put into it. Aside from Raven Tengus and the Oda/Noh boss fight its piss easy

Devs wont include sloth i promise you. Too fucking OP and annoying on the recieving end. Imagine fighting two flying bolts. Who would want that

I only remember to use it when I drain boss stamina. I've beaten Ogress and my kill count with living weapon is 1.

Fuck you. Bet you're the same nigger screaming about durability to this day.

Yeah youre probably right. A man can dream.

I've been using the spider spirit and it's pretty good. I dropped it to try the ice butterflies as well, but I don't like them as much.

Talking about living weapon here. The special attack feels kinda shitty for the butterflies.

>always treid to kill the bosses with the dragon sword/dual katana
>after they beat me like 20 times I've said fuck it, picked the scyte and killed them under 10 seconds

In GTA I would never kill any cops. And if they shot my tires I just stayed in the car and let myself be arrested. Yes you robbed someone, but it isnt worth losing your life over.

>after they beat me like 20 times I've said fuck it, picked the scyte and killed them under 10 seconds

Yep this is me but for Nioh. I fought honorably the whole damn game until I finally went back and faced Muneshige who can one hit you with speed sword. Had to cheese him by running around a rock. Felt like a loser.

It is when the monster is damaged enough or breakable items have been farmed.

Even before the harder difficulties came out I never used wall-listen for The Last Of Us. Piss easy game though

Im a realisticfag so I neglected VATS in F4 even on Survivor.

Call me autistic but i also only slept in the beds no earlier or later than 10pm. If i couldnt find a bed time to sleep then I didnt deserve to save my game

>durability

Of what, weapons? Not that guy but it would make sense to make it hard like the demo again. No game should have only bosses be difficult.

After I beat Receiver for the first time I decided to do some challenge runs that satisfied my gun autism, like having to put the 1911 into condition 3 (safety on, chamber empty, hammer down) every time I wasn't actively shooting at something, or playing russian roulette with the revolver by loading 1-3 shots at a time into random positions in the cylinder.

The game seemed daunting at first but once you got it figured out it was pretty simple, so the challenge was nice.

I use only when enemies are below 25% hp, it's a solid and satisfying way to finish the fight. Not really autistic.

I don't use Living Weapon unless I know I'm going to win because it makes it cinematic as fuck when you completely thrash a boss, then pull out your 2kat and expel their vast defilement from the land of the rising sun with Paired Raiken.

Call me autistic but I only use Hi-Nezumi since no NPC claimed it for themself, so its like my own guardian spirit

How? DS and Dual Katana are powerful as fuck as well, specially the dual katana. When you get the Blade of the Archfiend, it does even more damage than the Scythe.

You could also use Daiba or Kato or something, couldn't you? I loved Kato.

Hi-nezumi is really good for anything but a guardian spirit summon.

Hi-Nezumi is great for magic build. Too bad its explosive attack sucks a mean bowl of dick. The smaller animals are better for passive effects anyway

I ended up being a huge faggot and using Suzaku for most of the game after I got him. I had to be a double nigger and use Atlas Bear for Oda / Yuki-onna though because I'm terrible.

I played shirtless because I'm a raging homosexual and think William is attractive.

Pretty much the same reason why people play chicks in fighting games

Guardian Talismans are fucking OP with Atlas Bear.

Fag.

>never summon anyone, no matter how hard the boss is
>never minmax armor or weapon, use only whatever looks cool and fun to use

Going shirtless is OP though with certain bosses. Similar to when Rock Lee cheesed Gaara for a while after releasing the weights. The speed boost feels incredible.

People complain about Hino-enma aggressiveness but I literally fought her naked. She cant touch with all the added ki from losing heavy weight

I've only ever used it on Yokai/bosses.

I forget I even have it unless I'm fighting a boss or a particularly annoying Youkai where it'd be useful.

I never level Vitality/Health in Souls/Borne/Nioh games. I always felt like I was cheapening my experience of the game by being able to face tank hits multiple times instead of accepting my failure and dying.
It's 100% autistic and I'm aware, but I can't seem to have fun if there's no punishment for messing up. I think it also helps prepare me for my inevitable SL1/BL4 runs.
But now that I've finished all the games, I'm in a hell where there's no games out currently that appeal to me. I should dig up Ninja Gaiden Black and play that, or Onimusha 3. I hear those are fun.

>playing Dark Souls in winter
>go to painted world
>open window so room becomes freezing for better immersion

I have done this for other games too

The best way to play any souls game imo.

PvP meta will be fishing for daiba guardian talisman hits because it allows permenant stunlock, and its unparryable

I do this for winter movies, dont feel bad

>Buy some sheep intestines from a private butcher
>Put them inside a tupperware container
>Leave them in my computer room for several days until they have rotted and smell like human remains
>Play Saya no Uta for maximum immersion

They wont include guardian spirits hopefully. Nioh just wont work as PvP naturally. William is Jesus

In open world games I literally wont heal myself unless i leave or finish a battle for immersion

Nobunaga is a boss? Fuck I need to get a ps4 now..

Why are you japs obsessed with Oda? Why is he in every game?

Because he the equivalent of Obama. Evil, tyrannical dictator.

I did a DaS1 level 1 run not only because I enjoyed the challenge, but also because you do not have to choose how to spend your talent points and there is a canonical choice for your starting class.

"B-but muh Demon King!"

That makes Ieyasu Trump right?
America will be unified for at least 150 years, hooray!

Trump is Ishida Mitsunari. Decapitation is impeachment. Ieyasu Tokugawa is Bernie Sanders. Tenkai is Jeb Bush. Slow and steady always win race.

>Ieyasu Tokugawa is Bernie Sanders
Ieyasu wasn't a communist

Ieyasu was murderer. Close enough.

he was literally hitler before literally hitler even existed

You don't need to use stuff you don't want.
You make the game as difficult as you want to.
Are you really that salty that others are cheesing some things cause they're not that good and now make it so it's not as much as an achievement to have beaten the game?
Fuck off, the game is fine.

You see all the horrid shit people did during the Warring States period?

You see all the horrid shit Ieyasu Tokugawa did?

All of that shit is BABY FOOD compared to what Nobunaga did. Motherfucker had his forces go on fucking depopulating rampages.

how do i make the game hard then, no weapons?

>village rebels
>nobunaga says no dont do that
>village says fuck you and rebels
>nobunaga sends forces in and decapitates every man, woman, child and dog
>neighboring villages calm the fuck down

he was a p good guy

>people wanting nerfs
>in single player games

I don't know how you guys are alive right because that's the most cancerous thing I've read all day.

>>never minmax armor or weapon, use only whatever looks cool and fun to use
Thank fucking god Nioh lets you refashion your gear to anything you have collected. Half the armor sets are ugly as fuck all together, but mixed they can make some cool looking fashions.

ya games should be faceroll easy with no depth whatsoever

baka

>level be level 80
>Next area is level 87

Did i do something wrong?

You can get his armor, weapon, guardian spirit and skin to wear.

Dont argue with him user. He is right. It should not be up to the devs at all how hard a game is supposed to be. The players are supposed to post between eahother and decide what weapons and skills a game should never have had in the first place. It is our job, not the devs, to decide how to make a game challenging by ignoring key features of a game that could have been fun if nerfed. But remember, thats OUR job. Not the devs.

The game's plenty challenging enough. Just because it literally doesn't nail your balls to the wall like Dark Souls doesn't mean it's bad.

it means average ilvl not character level
its also exaggerated by like 50+ levels
missions in ng++ is like lv300-400 but you're likely just 125 and can clear it easy

niohisnt like souls where your damage comes from stats, it comes from weapons/armor

Refashion is so stupid. Makes you not appreciate armor and weapons for what they are.

>The game's plenty challenging enough
it really isn't
and im a casual gamer that plays video game seldomly

Thanks mate. Useful info. Didn't really want to start grindling areas just to level up. Glad i do not have to

Why is everyone complaining about stuff being too strong? I sort of enjoyed feeling like it went from a Dark Souls start into a Diablo esque tear through everything game. Even in Souls after the first play through anyone with half a brain just rips through the game after that.

Nioh is comfy difficult if you use heavy armor. Just hard enough to keep your attention, but not so annoying as to kill you every 5 seconds because you didn't see a shadow creep up behind you for a backstab.
It gets more stressful the lighter your armor. Your damage potential goes up, but so does the risk.

it shows

because it gets boring steamrolling everything from 5 minutes in, you usually save that bit at the end when you got the best gear and weapons.

>game is challenging

Not if you use the easilly available sloth. Which you can.

You see, no one feels like beating Nioh is an achievment because everybody beats it. They are able to, with sloth on them.

Sloth should just not be usable on bosses or it should do what it says (only slowing move speed).

Anyone know where to get a cannon smithing text?

I guess to each their own. But after 5 souls games I'm kind of burnt out on banging my head on a wall. I also didn't start really steamrolling until the last couple of missions in Nioh but that could just be me rushing through missions.

Playing non challengemode R&C 2 with starting weapons + wrench.
Got as far as Second swamp boss (beat that) and walled on Thug HQ

There should be a pure skill mode where you only use wooden weapons with no LW, no items and no armor (or a basic set automatically put on like the dojo missions) and then a casual anything goes mode. Include a ninja, magic, bare fist mode where you get pre-set items aswell.

>Nioh is challenging
Not if you use sloth.
Not if you use Dual Swords
Not if you use Ninjutsu
Not if you use Onmyo
Not if you use Infinite Living Weapon sets
Not if you use Kusarigama
Not if you use Heavy Armor builds


Nioh is just a boring slog with no depth and challenge, I have little interest in 100% it after how much of a snoozefest clearing it once was

>tfw used sloth all game and summoned visitors for half the missions
I'm 180 hours in with the plat and still enjoying it though.

"What they are" is a pile of statistics and set bonuses attached to a character model. If a player wants to change their look without sacrificing statistical advantages, more power to them. I doubt they will allow refashioned looks for PvP, same as Revenants.

Different strokes for different folks, my best bud has been playing runescape for 10 years.

I always play through Painted World wearing Slumbering Dragoncrest Ring
It somehow adds to more ambience

>thread about autistic things you do in vidya
>soulsfag ruin the thread by arguing about their game

>One of the reasons the Souls series is famous is the difficulty
Nioh isn't part of the Souls series, though.
>b-b-b--but it's a Souls-like
kys

Might as well ask here, I'm bad at making decisions. Just did an axe run, spear or kusa next? I don't like respeccing into a totally different build I'd rather just make a new character.

kusa

>One of the reasons the Souls series is famous is the difficulty.
I found one of the PC souls fags.

Souls are not famous because of the difficulty. Souls are famous because they avoid the hold-your-hand approach that plagues current video games. They are highly praised because the games can be as easy or as hard as you want them to be. If you want an easy time go high poise (das1) and shit on things, or go caster (das2) and hex shit to death, or abuse bleed (das3) and facerol, or if all else fails summon fagsl; if you want a tough time go for hyper rtsr set ups, go SL1, go great weapons (das3). Souls are good games because you as a player decide where to go, what to do, how to play.

Nioh doesn't do any of these things, no matter how you play the difficulty doesn't do anything, the game holds your hand and each mission is very linear for you as a player. Your only freedom is when to do sub-missions.

Nioh and Souls are apples to oranges, they should stop being compared.

So basically I shouldnt use half the fucking features of the game? Jesus. Someone recommend me an actual hard game

Life.

sad but true

Agree, this game is fucking stupid. I can't even reroll my stats. How do they expect me to enjoy playing if I'm stuck as a fat fuck procrastinator? I need to start over so I can put my spec into a trade skill and education instead of dropping out because of stupid artificial difficulty resulting in me little hell spawns that im forced to pay for every month

you could always admit yourself to a mental hospital . They will feed you and take care of you

But then I can't shitpost

>not playing the game 1Kat+spear+bow only

I'm having the time of my life.

people already have infinite block builds. its hilarious to watch someone not lose any stamina while blocking a wheelmonk or standing in middle of the two kings and not getting touched because his sword is up

TO ALL THE FAGGOTS SAYING "HAHA NERFFAGS BTFO" IT SHOULD NOT BE UP TO THE PLAYER TO MAKE HIMSELF WEAKER IN A GAME. GAMES ABOUT IMMERSION. YOU SHOULD AT EVERY SECOND HAVE A DESIRE TO BE YOUR STRONGEST IN A WORLD OF SURVIVAL SO FUCK YOU IF YOU WANT TO ROLEPPAY AS A KEK WHO FEELS THE NEED TO GIVE HIS ENEMIES A CHANCE. FUCK YOU.
