Anyone know a good screen recorder, I can record it and dump it on catbox

ah fugg

Yeah, the game takes place earlier than Nioh 1 but apparently will have William show up in the game anyway?

Looks like we PCbros will get the definitive edition a little later.

Meh the alpha was horrible as someone who best ng+3 in the first

That monster design is fucking superb

Someone please explain how upgrading armor and weapons works in nioh

Still better than epic exclusive.

>Yeah, the game takes place earlier than Nioh 1
How the hell does that work when Tome is older and her grandfather is dead?

It just felt like dlc, with lots of,options removed, and a boring generic demon form mode instead of the unique spirit summins. Also looks like a 360 game for some reason, hopefully due to being an alpha though

It takes place when Nobunaga is around 20 years old

It's like 20 years before the first game or something

Nioh 1?
You don't upgrade the stats of the armor, you just change their attributes.
+5 amrita -> 4% extra fire defense
You are basically rolling perks for that armor piece.

That's disappointing. Did they still keep the Diablo-style loot?

>those demon forms
>boring and generic
>thinking that guardian spirits have gone anywhere
You haven't played the alpha

>PC version of Nioh released less than a year after the PS4 version
>even came with all the DLC at no extra cost
>they're still gonna pretend like Nioh 2 is an exclusive and they have no plans to port it
Fuck you Koei, this time I'm waiting.

Show me a single game that has a controllable demon form with telekinetic blades spinning around him
Or better yet, explain where the guardian spirits are gone when you can literally summon them by pressing a button combination during the oni mode
You can't because you haven't played the alpha so shut the fuck up, retard

Want to dive deeper and see what they've improved. I await the Steam PC release...

This game sucks. Am I missing something here?

I don't get it then. Unless it's Tome's mom or something. It looks like the same character, and the grandfather was replaced by a yokai so I assume he died and became one.

A game about martial artists that can't jump or climb.

I bet that even the next Spiderman game will lack jumping and climbing.

nope, nioh was bad
hopefully nioh 2 brings more variety

>1 year exclusivity?
6 months most likely

Dmc4 and 5 me to devil trigger

You haven't played the alpha

We'll get the complete game with all DLCs though and at a lower price, so it's fine by me. 6 months isn't that long and a lot of other games come out in early 2020.

You're not missing anything. Every single game ever made has people who like it and hate it. This one is no different. What you see as bad, others see differently or they may have played to a point that has been really entertaining and you havent etc etc.

You've made at least 2 shitty bait threads and they've both failed, faggot

Finally. I need something to wash that awful taste of Sekiro out of my mouth.

Are they going to dumb it down to hell again like they did the first game?

is this a prequel? looked like Oda at the end of the trailer.

Based.

50 years prior to Nioh 1

I doubt it. Judging from the alpha, it just feels like a shitty DLC to the first game.

Is Oda Nobunaga still alive?

F I L T E R E D

He's young during that time.
The game is most likely about accompanying him until his death, then accompanying Hideyoshi

>Nobunaga is gonna be the final boss
Fuck off with that shit.

This is a prequel to the first game, of course Wirriam is not gonna be the main character.

The game isn't hard. It's just so repetitive and boring.

yfw post game final boss is William

>you are hideyoshi
Does this mean you get to rape that chick and make her barren?

I thought we we're gonna play as an OC Donut Steel.

>*yawn* I kill 6 Tengu in my sleep...

Sure thing kiddo. Come back when you're man enough to play without Magic/Ninjutsu.

You're collectively known as Hideyoshi
The actual sandal bearer is the one doing the raping probably, while you're too busy solving problems and fighting demons

Just like every group project ever

Can't fucking wait. This and Elden Ring are the top two things I'm looking forward to. The alpha was great so I hope we get another demo.

Just like how they said they would give info when 2019 starts and we had nothing but radio silence until late spring.

Time is convoluted in feudal Japan.

Takeda Shingen is pretty obviously a shoe in for one of the human bosses, will probably use a war axe with a spirit form.

I want Wirriam-sama, though. He was a cool guy.
What weapon types do you hope will be added to the game? Is every precious weapon and their skills returning?

MC is half-oni so he may be immortal
Maybe there's a post-game battle with William where MC tests him

I thought it was gonna be a hell setting from the first trailer

>What weapon types do you hope will be added to the game?
I want a fucking giant shuriken or ninjatos.

I played the alpha too. You still have guardian spirits and their unique attacks. They're not gone at all, you just have yokai shift instead of lw which made your moveset much more distinct than lw. Also who cares about graphics, it looked fine. No options were removed, in fact, you had new things added like yokai skills.

If main character has a huge lifespan then he may be talking with Tomoe in future.

looks like they pulled an onimusha2 / genji.

lol.

where the fuck is william

Wirriam is apparently gonna be in the game in some capacity.
Really hope for the bo staff.

i could've sworn this came out already

All the demons come from 黄泉の国 so it kind of is.

Why do you care? You'd still be able to play a game with just a different launcher. With the same FPS and with the same PC without needing to use some trash-tier console.

I personally say its not THAT hard to shut anyone down

Anyone got tips for getting to floor 20 of the Abyss? Mothman keeps wrecking my shit on floor 19 and it's the last achievement I need.

>that fucking trailer
They're far too good at building hype.
What part of him do you need help with? I assume you're competent at the mechanics, so as far as fighting him, try to circle round him while also dodging his reactionary kick. If his LW form is an issue you can cancel it with your own activation or a Hamaya arrow headshot. Always expect his dash stab and be prepared for it.

>Mothman

May be a new weapon type.

All of them.

god that trailer looked sick

The enemy type using it was in the alpha where they were using double axes
So scythes are pretty much confirmed.

Attached: 1568147522357.jpg (950x1200, 182K)

Real farming scythes were used by folding the blade back into a sort of halberd (or as kusarigama) so it's probably a little stylish interpretation of that. In that regard it does seem possible as a new weapon class as it'd differentiate it from spears.

Very much so if you liked the game. It adds a huge amount of content through the difficulty modes and Abyss, the new levels and bosses are some of the best in the game and the new weapons are a ton of fun.

when he dodges through the round boi boss's swipe does the dodge move end in a jump?

Literally what Sekiro should've been.

probably because he ng+3 and nioh 2 is essentially the same game with new stuff. Don't burn yourself out to the point of no return and things might look more promising user

git gud

one of the few games im actually waiting for.i hope we get even more loot, and grind that's actually fun. fuck the abyss.

what did he mean by this?

Try reading the thread

we cant play as William-san anymore?fucking dropped

try sucking a dick

Nioh wasn't bad but man did it try to do a lot of things. Loot system that I found more annoying than good because it means sinking money into upgrading your equipment is kind of a wasted effort until you hit the endgame, little enemy variety, the mission-based structure and the so on. At least the core gameplay loop was good enough to make me finish it all including DLC and side-missions.

Can you put a benis in her?

It's a prequel with character creation. You could try making him, though the transformation option is still in the game and I don't think they'd miss that opportunity.

I remember that one time I had like 6k health, best armor I could have at this level, a defense boost and was blocking and yet one of those monk motherfuckers slapped me once and took off 3/4 of my HP.

That's when I learned playing this game as anything other than a DEX build is pointless.

You built wrong if you were hoping to take hits. Attack debuffs and % damage reduction (which for armour is dependent on it's type) has the strongest effect on enemy damage, and you can stack several different kinds of them. If you were blocking and still got hit then it was their grab which is one of their heaviest hitting attacks, but heavy armour leads to a nigh unbreakable guard otherwise. Proper tank strats are downright ridiculous if you actually spend a second trying things instead of doing the minimum and quitting.

Enemy variety was only an issue because the game is meaty. You have all the main missions plus multiple side missions. It has to recycle things for a good few of those side missions.

I liked the level based approach, open world wouldn't work for a game trying to be somewhat faithful to real history. All of feudal Japan condensed into one map would be silly, then again I feel that Lordran in DS1 is kind of silly with how cramped it all ultimately is. I know they retconned that in 3 with the ending of an age means everything smashes back together.

I'll agree with the loot system being a drag. At first its fun because of loads of bonuses and new stuff, then it gets grating, then annoying, then bad until you reach a catharsis of gear management.

I do hope they manage to knock this one out of the park though. Lots of enemies, more moves for each weapon type, yokai forms, good bosses, less reuse of levels and enemies and fix some hitboxes. That would be enough to win damn near everyone over.

That trailer is fucking amazing
>you play as the competent part of hideyoshi, helping nobunaga in unifying the nation and fighting demons in the meantime.
I cant fucking wait, i hope the fact that the game already had a direction from the start this time around will help it in terms of content (more specifically enemy variation).

I think back then I didn't really have that much debuffs on me but it wasn't a grab. DESU my problem is that for the biggest part of the game I felt like you're kind of forced to rely on your dodge which...I get it's that kinda game but I felt like it limits the amount of playstyles. Maybe I gave up too early.

Hope it's good too because as many gripes I had with the first game - it WAS pretty good and it was clear a lot of work went into it. I'm just hoping they're gonna do it like The Surge 2 and actually take input from the first game...which already happened with the demo/beta of the first Nioh. So yeah, here's hoping it's even better.

Are you Japanese?

i just want them to give us some ridiculously expensive waifu transformations to grind for. the end game kind of lost its allure for me because the only reason to keep grinding was to get marginal increases in your stats when you level up, and to help other people do cup missions.

>Nobunaga, lady cha cha, and possibly okatsu all returning
Neat

Will the story accommodate non-Japs at all? Little weird that some gaijin would just show up and be entrusted to help out. Also who was that woman at the end who is shown for like half a second? Famous actress I guess.

The loot system would be a drag if it wasn't for all the clear easy to use options for sorting and selecting letting you use the best equipment and discard the rest in seconds, but reading the bottom of any screen is too tough.

is it still mission based or are we open world now?

nyeah it'll still be mission based. i think an open world nioh would be a very ugly and flat affair

>no enemy variety at all.
shitty meme. Nioh had plenty of different enemy movesets, they are just not reskinned under different models in every area like in Souls
>horrible loot system
just don't be a retard
>boring bosses
compared to what?
>dead online
you can still find coop partners on ps4 in minutes any day

I'm guessing Okatsu.

I'd say you definitely gave up too early, blocking is not only largely effective on many different attacks but is important in general for stopping combos and safety. It's also directly strengthened by your armour and stops all physical damage by default. You have to learn to make use of both dodging and blocking where appropriate but you can build to lean more on one or the other. The defensive strats and builds are extremely powerful if you look into them.
>take input
The last time they did that it ruined the game.

Will you be able to make your character cute and funny in Nioh 2?

Since it's a prequel about Nobunaga we're bound to see Yasuke again.

>The last time they did that it ruined the game
I'm curious what exactly are you talking about? The only thing I remember is that they removed item durability because holy fuck that shit was annoying.

If there's one thing I want from this game is the ability to finally kill Maria. I know it's a prequel but fuck this smug bitch, fuck her bossfight and fuck anyone who wrote her into the game.

There was a lot but to try and summarize; they ruined the camera, broke the game with free circlestrafe, fucked up the damage tuning by overbuffing it for the player and enemies (which you've already experienced), while weakening and de-emphasizing Ki damage and management, on top of lowering enemy count which combines to make the already OP stuff completely broken, and dumped Dodge Pulse on every stance to ruin the natural learning curve. Even durability was fine as is due to how stances and whetstones worked. There's also many other things like weakpoint changes and overbuffing healing but suffice to say it hurt everything the game was designed around and it still being so good is merely a testament to the core design.

Not repeating the same mistake of buying this on PS4 again. Timed exclusives should be burned.

dude sometimes you LITERALLY don't have time to wait a fraction of a second for a ki pulse, that dodge pulse is very useful for situations like that. sure maybe you could say high stance shouldn't have it for some reason but i don't see why

is that oda nobunaga?
