Nioh

Don’t give us four new game plus modes that require broken ass builds. Everything else was amazing, though. Maybe more weapon types. We’re getting to create a character so this blew every other game out of the water by default when that was announced.

I still don't get how the loot system works. What do you do with all the excessive items? Any helpful FAQ?

Streamers that know how to play the game.

Comfy streaming time. twitch.tv/rainyy_
The guy seems shit, but it's better than nothing

So did they just send out promo codes to streamers for this? Seems a bit weird they just dropped it out of the blue then sent it out to streamers randomly when they promoted the demos for the first one pretty ferociously.

he's a charge blade master

at least he actually uses ki pulse unlike the previous guy

It's nowhere near comfy. How is this fucking possible that literally no one decent at game has access to alpha.

I think it was random but I don't know. I'm mad I still haven't gotten one. Dick move KT, they should make it open.

The first and second bosses are really fucking good

excess goes to breakdown at smithy or donation at shrine
donations at shrine gets you amrita and consumables (elixir and such)
breakdown at smithy gets you same rarity materials which you can use for forging or conversion to higher rarity materials
sinking patronage into rare dismantles gives you a chance to get enemy drop materials from dismantled weapons

there are a lot of filters that can help you sort by what you want to dismantle
there is also a list select feature (Y/triangle) that helps you quickly select and mass-dismantle/offer equipment as well as a locking feature (X/square) that prevents dismantling of items you like -- locked items are prevented from being selected by quick select

if you're past NG, whites and yellows usually get offered, and blues and purples get dismantled if you want

>How is this fucking possible that literally no one decent at game has access to alpha.
Someone good at it might have access, but there's very little overlap between "people good at video games" and "video game streamers" so even if good players have access to it, there's almost no chance we'll actually see them play.

What was the first boss? I did see the snake with snake arms

A demon of fiery wind, summons tornado and transforms into a giant whirlwind.
Can teleport around the arena but can also knock the water pots which makes him wet and vulnerable for a bit.

Let us start on a higher difficulty, more enemies and change death markers to summoning real players (npc if offline) along with a message of yes/no and how many people there are waiting to kill you.

nioh is a fucking gay stat whore simulator and I put 300 hours into the first game so I would know. I'm tired of looking at numbers so I'll probably skip this one or just casually play through the game once when it's on sale.

Fuck, I'm not even done with 1 yet because of how absurdly long it becomes. I still have the last 2 regions on WotW, last 4 regions of WotN and I'm only 20 levels deep in the abyss.

monhun speedrunners are interesting people. hes top 3 if not the best cb player in the world but his brain only works off of mh mechanics. once he gets a grip though he can roll a game no problem.

It's a closed alpha and they only sent codes out to streamers. Well done KT.

RNG. You get a key through an email or if you are a streamer.

This tree looks cool but almost every single node is just small percent bonuses like 1% more grapple damage. I was kinda hoping for more meaningful skill tree this time.

It's an alpha which means a lot of skills are not there, just like it was with the first game

Yeah, I hope you're right and they're just placeholders for now.

I can't even imagine what more high level demons and bosses will give in terms of skills.

what tree? where?

Check the streams.

that 20% regen while blocking one seemed huge
unless I never saw that in the first game

THERE ARE STREAMS ALREADY!? IT'S NOT THE 24TH YET

Try reading a fucking thread next time.

...

All of those passives were in the first game too.
There's a ton of empty nodes on the skill circle

why would he need to when your newfag ass and the other chalkboard underneath you spoonfeeds him

You mean the weapon skills? The skill tree follows the same design as the lists in the original game, except with a different look. Some unlockable abilities are straight up taken from the first game like the Odachi ones.

An invite.

i want that one dude to spam webms in dark souls threads again

because it's take less than 5 second to help this retard out and more meaningful than going "lul find it ur self"

I want the conqueror copypasta to come back.

>pretty much every enemy can drop a skill
>even bosses
So fucking sick

It wasn't even just Souls threads, anything even vaguely related you'd see him pop up. He was even appearing in Zelda threads for some reason at one stage.

Talking about the first one? Learn to Ki Pulse, you'll not only need it to recover most of your stamina after attacks but also to purify yokai realm. Human enemies will recover ki after a period of not attacking/receiving damage(With very few specific exceptions) but Yokai do not regain stamina unless they're in the yokai realm. On NG+ and beyond a Yasakani Magatama is for the most part required/useful since it cuts item set requirements by 1 piece. Honestly the biggest con of the first game is that after completing the story loot doesn't matter as much until the last difficulty. Everything you use in between that is just a stop gap to help you through the current difficulty and even then there are revenants and a couple of missions you can easily use to update your gear to the latest difficulty.

>you can summon npc help like dark souls

Why do so many people not realize you can select multiple items in your inventory?

So for those with access to the alpha hows the dual axes? As good as they look or a fun in concept poor in practice weapon?

>MHW shitter getting BTFO
LMAO

why was sekiro so shit for you user?

Pay attention to the mechanics and actually read what's on screen for menus, options and information. This avoids most things people bitch about and lets you learn what's fun about the game. Always experiment with attacks, combos and stances to see what's possible and make the most out of fights. Don't be this guy playing the Alpha of the sequel and ignoring shit that's been in since the Alpha of the first game.

blocking is very useful

He's been baiting for hours now. Just ignore.

Don't play it then. And stay out of nioh threads. Thanks :)

Hey redditfags, how do I pirate videos posted there?

fraps

Yes, the first one. Thanks guys, will try to apply this advice and not suck.

its a pretty good strategy desu, many people (most who are famous youtubers, etc) who get picked to play alpha/beta are so bad they either dont reach the endgame/meta or when they do theyre so shitty they dont reveal too much or they dont reveal some hidden faults a game would have.

Many games have repetitious, boring and/or bland content/meta that if potential customers(us) were to see it wr would be less inclined to buy it.

Granted that is not to say said game will be bad, its just a win/win situation for the company to do so

I just beat hundred eyes and now the DLC, way of the strong, and the abyss are all kicking my ass. Help

People really forget how powerful the block is in this game

>lycoris flower motif for the super yokai realm moves
but what does it mean

This kinda makes sense, I guess? If a more skilled player got their hands on the demo, they’d find an optimized way to beat the demo in the shortest time possible and just rinse and repeat. That’d make for some really boring streams, I suppose.

It's really fucking strong and interrupts even bosses

I prefer old living weapon

you could probably run through the game without ever using it

It does surprise me the other shitter who was worse than this streamer beat Enenra the first time

It's a pretty poor strategy for when they actually want to use it for feedback and improving the game though, but they don't listen to the right people anyway.

Living weapon was OP so they nerfed it into this. Discord also seems way weaker.

If they have another spider level I swear to god

The spiders in the first game were beyond triggering. Many attacks just randomly whiff against the small ones or medium sized ones when they are on elevated grounds. Also all the head hugging bullshit is too much. I don't even have Image result for fear of spiders
Arachnophobia but it drives me nuts how developers keeps shoving spiders in my face

It's not hard to respec so don't worry about stats too much.

For marketing purposes it's good strategy but I thought they wanted "feedback from fans of Nioh to tweak things"?

youtube.com/watch?v=y8w38o1u8_U

Time to update your gear to mostly divines. Couple of choices there but Way of the strong is recommended for higher level cap and divine gear drop rates, if you don't want to farm revenants just go "escort" Ginchiyo and she'll clear the map for you.

Weren't there attacks that could pierce through block like Ishida's wind slashes? But yeah blocking works 99% of the time

Hentai monster girls

If you're using the single sword, remember to not move the left analog stick to backwave and Iado-strike properly

Remove the two bosses bossfights in the endgame literally impossible or would require autism levels of practice

Making videogames is a business, and the one thing in a business that trumps everything else is making money. With this strategy they will have a higher potential capital yield by omitting possible faults their product(videogame) would have, and what better way to show off your videogame(product) and rest easy knowing that some bumbling popular chucklefuck is showing off your game AND not showing the bad?

Not pierce but blocking elemental damage only did a portion of it, not the whole thing.

Thats why they have 'selected' individuals who they are confident in their reviews of their game will have a positive impact when they actually change or tweak things.

Its all a business after all

this desu, loot was the worst part of the game for me, never felt happy for any loot dropping.

Some would, which means they'd be able to learn and fix those issues. Other people would still try and find the coolest shit and show it off anyway because if it's there it'll be found. Perhaps XLHGladiator got in this time.

>can customize yokai form
nice

More of the same

Been so used to Koei character creators being the same thing in every game in the same engine, so its nice to have a new one from them

I'd kind of like to see the loot stuff reigned in a bit, but it's not a deal-breaker for me, just a personal preference of mine.

IIRC, after the last DLC mission he disappeared alongside Hanzo to protect japan against yokai and spirit stone abusers

Nothing. He came back to Japan to solve the 1615 siege of Osaka.
He participates on the siege of Sanada-Maru and the siege of Osaka and defeats Sanada Yukimura and his officers, kills Toyotomi Hideyori and his mother, Lady Chacha (aka Yodogimi, pic related) and goes back home again.

I don't like the preset available in the alpha, but I'm holding off on judgement until we see some of the customization available.

To add on, Nioh is developed by the japs.
And usually they usually only listen to their native fanbase moreso than foreign ones, especially when it comes to making a game good because many western(American) game companies choose shortcuts to get a higher capital yield while fucking their audience over.

Komuso wearing youkai monk form with spear/katana

The wind blows. It is 7 in the morning, William-sama woke up to the cold morning. He got up, and went to the bathroom to wash his face. William-sama live in the traditional Dazaifu shrine, he only fought in a room though. The young couple is nice enough to let him stay in their shrine. William-sama grepped his kimono and wear it like a proper nihonjin, he walk to a window and smell the fresh nihonjin morning. “Ah, konbanwa anatas. What beautiful morning desu.” William-sama zoned out looking at the beach from his room. William-sama went upstairs to greet the couple. “Ah, ohayou Muneshige-san and Ginchiyo-chan”. The couple replied him with a warm smile and proceed with their breakfast while inviting William-sama. Although William-sama can not understand them, he easily could read what the couple is trying to say, he is born with this talent. “Arigato.” William-sama said, he then went downstairs to take a few things. He took a bokken and a katana, the katana is hidden in his kimono and the bokken is on his obi, this is to avoid his weapons breaking as he was warned last time by conquerors. William-sama will be going on his usual morning walk to sightseeing the glorious nihonjin country. “Itadakimasu Muneshige-san and Ginchiyo-chan”, they gave him a mixed smile and a slightly confused expression.

nioh 2 will probably, and when I say probably I mean definitely, have more than 30-40 hours worth of gameplay.

William-sama reached the village near the beach, he like to watch kodama playing as it is a something that can warm his pure heart. Suddenly, a sudden tremor. No, it’s more terrifying than that, it’s an earthquake, a huge one. The ground was shaking and beginning to crack, William-sama look at the kodama, they were running away terrified, “minna san! do not run around! Stay in place!” The kodama couldn’t understand what he was saying, he gestured what he was trying to say, he ordered the kodama to stay at the shrine as it is too difficult to find them all. But that was William-sama’s mistake, he look at the ship from afar. It was huge, a yokai is coming. William-sama widened his eyes and look at the kodama and yelled every Japanese word he knew “Arigatou gozaimasu! Gomenasai! Run away minna-san!” The kodama ran away, the oni is coming, it was at least 100ft tall. William-sama was ashamed with himself, he should have anticipated this, if he did the kodama would be far away by now. “sumimasen mina-san, it was my mistake”, he took his hidden katana and dual wield with the bokken and katana. As he ran towards the yokai trying to stop it, he uttered his last words. “Arigatou Tachibanas. For taking care of me” The onryoki strikes. A shout is heard; “I'm a Conqueror!”.

Every damn enemy drops a fucking set. So it's kinda annoying after 150h.

Confusion is now Corruption and it's own status ailment from what I can tell, though it's hard to tell if it has the defence down effect or if they just reused the icon for something else because damage is *still* too high, but that seems very strong to me. I'm a bit surprised they kept the Guardian Spirits themselves and the way the gauge works but otherwise it's pretty much what I expected, though creating the form sounds cool. I need to see more of the movesets themselves.

Depends on the person and the severity of the fear. For me it's like a wrestling with a giant flight response that tells me to close my eyes or the game. When I was younger any depiction of a spider had me drop the hell out of whatever game/show I was watching/playing. Managed to tone it down in recent years but even the arguably cuteish spider guardian spirit still makes me wince and when the enemy spiders ambush you from the ceilings or burst from the seal theres a chance I'll be surprised enough to scream even if I know it's coming.

Sekiro was a complete 180 from the traditional Souls formula and ended up just being a one and done polished action game. Nioh 2 is literally just Nioh but more and better. It makes sense.

Sekiro is söy repellent of the highest degree.

No. Sekiro was obviously a testbed from the start developed by the B team and a very shallow game to test the waters and pave the way for their real title that's been in development for the last 3 years by the A team which will be announced this E3.

Double axes look really dumb.
Lmao2kat was dumb too.

Not him but Sekiro is good, but not a masterpiece you fucking normalfag

honestly? nothing, nioh is very boring and ive given it multiple chances.

sekiro is normalfaggot watering hole of the highest degree. It sold like hotcakes and normalfaggots couldn't shut up about it for like 3 days on it's release all over twitter and rebbit.

Combat was great on paper in Nioh but they're nowhere near as technical as they are in Sekiro. Also, balance was awful. Some bosses were very hard and others too easy. Some monsters killed you too quickly. Ki management sucked, I'm sorry. Sure there are lots of flashy moves, but then it gets to a point where you must buff and then spam to kill everything including bosses. NG+++++ shit. Some really frustrating and absurd "fight 2 bosses at the same time" moments. Overall a nice experience for what it was. Not sure if I want to repeat the grind and farm though. Oh and shouldn't they hire monster designers? I remember only four enemies, the devil samurais, the mid-high yokai with 2 horns, the wheel of fire and the cyclope. Yeah...

Honestly senpai, nu-Team Ninja's problem is that they're too desperate for public approval and subsequently listen too much to shitters. Apart from the performance optimization and QoL improvements that likely would've come anyway, the final release of Nioh was a step back in nearly every way from the alpha demo thanks to scrubs bitching in the feedback surveys and on social media. The boss helmets too; Team Ninja went on and on in promotion about how they'd be exclusive rewards for clearing the demos and then on top of giving people more and more chances to earn them, they ended up putting them as a forging text drop in the final game. Again, all down to whining on Twitter and Facebook. Now with this sequel, on top of scrapping the Shibusawa staple of having a protag based on an IRL historical figure (which we know was down to people complaining on Facebook), they make the alpha a closed thing that's only sent out to Twitch streamers.

Answer this if you're so confident.

Nah, just make it like Demon's Souls where there are seperate worlds with different sections.

Single player games can't "die".

Pressing a button with a timing everytime you attack to gain back a little more Ki and getting careful not to step in their "yokai" zone, was fun to you? Because it was and then it gets old quickly. Sure in some fights you can fuck up and build up tension, and you can also drain the Ki of the bosses and finish them which is nice but aside from that...

>why did it die 1 month on release?
Because most people are too casual for a real game.

Nah, the level format worked because it let you go all over Japan instead of being contained to one small area.

The ones we've sen so far look very different, there probably won't be as many as there were Guardian Spirits but them being more fleshed out gives more opportunity for each to have it's niche.
Also the fact Guardian Spirits are still a thing makes me think it's even more likely that what I was hoping for will happen and we get Saiorse (maybe with Nekomata as a duo) back as a Living Weapon but with a proper Yukimura-tier moveset.

Not really surprising. Nioh wasn't a high-budget game by any means (remember it was a PS4 exclusive for year because KT literally couldn't afford the localization and marketing budget to ensure it got a simultaneous worldwide release like Shibusawa wanted, so he approached Sony for help) and it's been in development for only two years by this point.

>1550
We'll probably get to see Ii Naotora then, unf.

This is what Nioh 2 will be all about. Don't take their "you can now turn into monster too" bs seriously. It will definitely have the taste of a giant DLC. They didn't change anything, all animations, monsters etc. will be the same.

>it will taste like a good DLC
perfect. Nioh is already a god-tier game. They did exactly what everyone wanted. Opinions of faggots like you who got filtered by Umi-Bozu don't count.

Because they're 2 very different games and scratch different itches.

im pretty sure thats their mission statement, they want to address the common critiques while keeping the old, and the samey levels and enemy variety was the most common complaint, besides the loot system which was more divisive than universally hated

>It will definitely have the taste of a giant DLC. They didn't change anything, all animations, monsters etc. will be the same.

I'm actually fine with their decision but I really can't help but feel disappointed that we are also missing out on an evolution that you would get with a sequel.

IRL William Adams was basically kept as a gloried hostage by Ieyasu because he wanted an insight into Western naval tactics and ship building. When he actually had the opportunity to return home years later, he opted not to since he'd already been forced to rebuild his life in Japan plus he knew his wife had remarried.

Less feedback so they can pay more attention to it and judge for themselves is an honourable enough cause but they sure as hell didn't care about it the first time around with how the game ended up, and there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to who got the codes. Not (just) because I don't have one but from how sudden it was and the method, along with what little's been seen. Besides it can't be that hard to discern quality of feedback to an extent, but we get trained on it being on Yea Forums I suppose.

there's always chance for Nioh 3 with an even larger budget from 2's sales.
TeamNinja's problem is budget. Nioh 1 was a critical success despite being a budget game. This is a good direction and framework because it forced the devs to fill what they could've filled with extra budget by making the gameplay as best as possible and improve the core of the game.

How long after the alphas etc... for Nioh 1 did it release? We looking at a late 2019 or some time in 2020 release?

I like the idea of the loot system but I don't think it was implemented very well. Armor sets were objectively better than all random gear, and you can get a decent set only a few hours in the game which renders all drops useless.

Sony are publishing again, so I wouldn't get my hopes up about the sequel having much more money thrown at it.

As you can see from the replies I've got, they'd eat any shit with "Nioh" on it. And I've spent 150h on the original game, getting all trophies. But they're so desperate for new content that they're stupidly happy with getting exactly more of the same without any significant addition.
Koei Tecmo shouldn't even bother to do a new game at all. They should just put on new levels and these assholes would brainlessly play them again and again.
The devs shouldn't even make new monsters, new skills, why bother, if the FANS are waiting for NIOH 2. Just re-hash everything and let these mother fuckers pay 60$ day one.

>I'd wager early 2020.

There is no "consensus". Nobody has played it yet except a few streamers and we don't know their full move-set and skill tree. From what we've see though, I think they look fun. They incorporate throwing moves which looks cool as well. I've seen 3 throwing skills so far. One you hold triangle to throw it in mid stance I think, another is like an Iai SotC move but instead you throw them both, and finally, the trailer shows a move where he throws one high in the air before it comes back down on the enemy in sort of a delayed fashion.

mysterious samurai boss in the final DLC was the hypest thing of all the game and it was a complete surprise

Attached: KT Twitter.jpg (618x609, 67K)

Odachi covers it's swingspeed with it's range, make strong use of it. The stance swapping attacks aren't a replacement for proper Ki Pulsing and swapping when you want, rather they make your attacks themselves a bit more flexible without ending the string, and using the big range and reading the enemy's actions lets you benefit from that. Sakon tends to thrust directly forward but he does have uninterruptible attacks so try to use safer pokes from his sides and circle him when you dodge out if he's attacking, then chase him down with stronger moves. He's deadliest when at point blank.

Are you brain damaged?

>it worked like Dark Souls and there was no dedicated coop
you mean a mode completely dedicated to co-op?
nah, it's sort of like dark souls, except that instead of signs you pop into a menu at a shrine and you get summoned

yeah that's what I was wondering, whether or not you could play the whole level in coop and if you needed items to do it, guess I should have worded it better

I hope the port is better this time, some of the levels ran like shit for me even with low settings.

Sony have also got The Last of Us 2 coming late this year, which they'll plug as THE Christmas game, so anything lined up for Q4 this year will probably get held off for a couple months like how everyone tried to avoid FFXV at Christmas 2016.

They're all fun and they all have something going for them. You're missing out if you don't give all of them an honest chance.

Less civil war wankery. More youkais. If I wanted Sengoku war shit I would have played Samurai Warriors.

Except that yokai realm with a companion is literally that.

Welcome to how I feel just about every thread since the Alpha.
There are two modes of coop. One is using a (pretty easy to acquire) consumable at a shrine (checkpoints in the level where you do stuff), which lets you passively summon a player as a spirit to join you. If he dies he needs resummoned, if you die it's business as usual. Everything else is the same except I believe enemies might hit a bit harder
The other mode is Yokai Realm With a Companion. In this you match up ahead of time then choose a mission to play through. Both of you are the host and instead of shines being checkpoints, you have a shared gauge that lowers when someone dies, with you reviving each other to preserve it more. There's a few more enemies in this mode, some bosses have more defensive moves and beating levels counts for you both, so this lets you coop the whole game as well as being a generally awesome underplayed mode.

This, but with every female yokai.

Something like that would make testing new items beyond the first you get more interesting.

>TeamNinja
decent chance

They implied it, autist.

Leaf Glide is one of the first available skills and glitches her into an unkillable state if you land it, I don't remember if Haze or Water Shadow are locked behind the dojo but they're right next to it too. Also they were the first available skills in the Beta.

They kinda did that with gun tonfas and it was great. Hope there'll be more of that.

i wonder if yokai form in the character creator is actually choosing what type of yokai you choose into, rather than just stuff like color

Already confirmed

It can be kinda overwhelming at first but it all falls into place and starts to feel natural after a certain point
Blocking isn't even that big of a deal, it's just lot of people who were interested in the first game were soulsfags who were used to rolling head first into everything because the insane amount of i-frames dodge rolling has in that game, in comparison William's dodge has way less i-frames and is used more to get out of the way of an attack rather than rolling through it

Really? I didn't get the DLC

Cute ghosts and monsters.

Does it have any new weapons aside from the axes?

You're seriously missing out, senpai. The DLC stuff is among the best parts of the game.

sounds fun as fuck

Odachi is hilariously powerful. The Earthshatter move or whatever it's called has near-infinite super armor, reduces damage you take to like 1/5 of what you normally would, costs almost no ki to use, will take off 90% of an opponent's ki if they blocked it, and does good damage. You can beat most of the game using just that move, I should know because I did it.

Thanks dude I'll play tomorrow

>You can beat most of the game using just that move
That's no fun, though.

Because no one uses it. I used it once for fun and it works fine but the game is not unfair enough to justify it.

Oh well I was planning on a new playthrough, might as well get it first then.

Can the first one even be topped?

Attached: NiohCombat.webm (1280x720, 2.77M)

The streamer that showed it didn't save the video or whatever, so no, sorry.

It’s still unnecessary padding that takes up time.

Nothing more satisfying then blowing a man's head clean off with a Tangeshima.

If every random weapon changes one of your moves then it makes using and learning a weapon a bit more awkward when the game is about them having so many available options to master. Plus it just means you might not get a certain weapon with a move you like for a while, or one in a set you like could have moves you don't. Equipment already comes with cool unique effects, it's better when they aren't holding you back so severely like that. It's basically what happened with Tonfa Gun.

William will show in Nioh 2 due to time-traveler shit and you must fight him.

I require photo or video evidence of your claim, good user.

Last time i saw a similar response to that was when someone asked Kamiya about Bayonetta 2 getting ported

reddit.com/r/Nioh/comments/brtscu/female_yokai/

The first game's DLC had a Jin Hayabusa bossfight that you can get the Izuna Drop, Flame Dragon fireball, and his set from which has the Dragon Sword, a kusarigama, and the classic blue outfit. The sword glows with the full set bonus.

But thanks, user. I see some jiggle, good shit.

If you have a better source post it

hardest my ass. Succubitch is easily the hardest.

He's not that bad, come on. Raven tengu is harder than that guy. Fucking raven tengus.

Hino-Enma? Literally just dodge to the side on her paralysis beam attack and just slowly walk backwards on her melee moves, and she never hits you. You're just not used to a boss being that mobile yet in the game.

>pummeling your glowing weakpoint stomach with tonfas
nothing peronnel kid

>automatically counters with lightning bolt if you hit it too much

Tonfas weren't in the game until the dlc months later.

this is one of the most satisfying bosses in any game. the glowy bits were so satisfying to hit.

They added one later along with a windup time because people bitched enough.

>The game uses your build from the previous game if you have game data saved in your system.

It was an optional mission, but finally I can move onto the next region.

I have to ask, did you abuse the rock

>start as a great well designed fight but a bit weak to LWspam for a main boss if you can keep attacking with no gaps whatsoever
>get nerfed along with the rest of the game
>except as some sort of compromise they make him auto recover from being out of Ki and add an extra tracking lightning bolt near instantly after the first
>doesn't fix the "issue" because his weakpoint is still open right after, just lets him randomly instakill you since the attack wasn't intended that way while being even easier
>he's only the first half of the level
Oh how I pity Nue

>that doesn't have a telegraph
Stop smoking weed it's making your reaction time dog shit.

>he's only the first half of the level
Yeah but the 2nd half is piss-easy

No, but I was running in circles around the area, almost exclusively using high stance attacks with my spear because it dealt over 500 damage

Giant Frog was the hardest boss for me.

This kind of thing happens all the time with vidya, people get stuck on something for a while and drop the game from frustration. Then they come back after a while and trash the encounter.

I'm more implying that he was never even the main boss of the level anyway. Speaking of the two halves though, they fucked up hard moving the music to the indoor section, it was far better outside.
That's probably why you were stuck. Playing like that teaches you little. Muneshige in particular is meant to expose those complacent habits.

also the set bonus is really nice

this was the real wall for me, onryoki was fine after figuring out his attacks, batgirl was fine if you use needles and shoot her out of the air, nue was also fine after figuring out attacks, but this blob was frustrating with how tanky he was, and the second phase always got me overwhelmed with the adds

>game takes place in 1855
i guess we'll get kenshin and shingen fights, i want to know if the human bosses will be good too, since they obviously went through most of them in the first game.

No it doesn't take place in 1855

sorry i meant 1555

why wasnt nioh 2 at state of play

Because it's not an exclusive :)

give me the amazon press

why was monster hunter and ctr at state of play

You're supposed to light the torches which deal with the smaller ones or give you a fire buff. Or you can use any other source of fire. Fighting him without it it felt like the one boss that had an appropriate healthbar.

I dunno, who do i look like to you? Kaz Hirai?

i did, but it still felt really tanky

I dropped the game during last dlc on way of the demon. way too fucking hard, where do I farm to level up? also good OP builds out there?

It looks like they build up from the Living Weapon mechanic with the demon transformation, summons, etc. Hoping for more enemy variety, would like better level design (dont know how, tho). Couldnt care less for the character customization. As someone who got hooked to videogames back in the NES day thanks to Ninja Gaiden, this and Sekiro made my PS4 buy worth it, and Im going to play the fuck out of this. Only improvements, if they can pull it off, it doesnt matter if it isnt a masterpiece, its enough for me.

Wont lie, I left after finishing NG
>inb4 the real game starts at Way of the Fuck You
I cant do that shit anymore, good for you if you can still invest hundreds of hours on one videogame. I got 90 hours out of it, really liked it and Im buying the sequel day one.

Make sure you're making full use of stances, weakpoints Ki Pulse and how much Ki you have and they have to do as much damage as possible. You rarely ever have to stop attacking.
