Niohbros, newfags are buying the game, it's time to go back and carry their ass through snek

But I feel so much slower for some reason. Am I just imagining it?
>defence
The multiplier or the bonuses?

I don't know, might be something to do with your playstyle.

>skill issue
C'mon, not this again! Not for Nioh!

I only use Fuma Ninja armor and haven't had much trouble so far. Last boss I beat was the owl. Ninjutsu feels super strong at this point.

This and maybe you'll get a few pieces of a set that will align with your character if you're lucky

Maybe there's a tiny increase in movement speed and roll distance, but outside of that, minimal ki regen increase (which is whatever because of ki pulse and yokai abilities anyway), and a whopping -6% ki cost on attacks. The difference between medium and heavy is significantly higher (+37.5% ki cost). But there are so many variables in that game it could be anything.

How do I decide on just two weapon types? I wanna use a Odachi, Yari, Katana and tonfa...

>The multiplier or the bonuses?
The biggest number you see when you look at the armor stats screen

Don't just stick with two then.

Loathsome

Fair enough, from what I gather Nioh 2 is slightly easier than 1 or at least better balanced.
Every enemy being able to 2-3 shot me feels really extreme and I just got to the Umi.

Can you actually summon a random to help you? I just did the mission that unlocked the mystic skill things so I'm a bit far but I thought it was just the blue phantoms who seemed pretty useless

You have the NPC blue grave phantoms, some are developers, some are players
You have summons from the shrine like Souls
You have Expeditions for proper co-op with more enemies and rezzes

I LOVE THE ABYSS
ENDLESS BLOODSHED FOR HIGHER NUMBERS

Buddha fucking Christ that goddamn Owl.

He's really not that bad, just flies a lot.

It was still a cunt to deal with when it all went dark

Yeah

What's the deal with all the revenants who have Sloth also wearing heavy armor and wielding a fast weapon? How do these people function?

Damn, what armor set is this?

>bought both nioh 1 and 2
>game is too hard and gave up on 2nd or 3rd stage

If you're trying to play it like Dark Souls you need to stop that. It is very much NOT dark souls.

Maybe I have in the first hour, but I honestly have no idea how to play it

tried playing this again recently but i've finally dropped it for real this time, it's just too boring even with the ki pulsing and everything

>Tried to do a level 30 Twilight mission because I'm like level 40
>Get my ass absolutely handed to me
>Try to do a story mission
>Boss just fucking wrecks me
Man it doesn't get easier, apparently its not as bad in 2 but 1 just has everything fucking eviscerate you in 2-3 hits max.

He's too powerful...

The biggest thing you need to do is get into the habit remembering to ki pulse. It's got a unique rhythm. You want to be aggressive but not crazy.

>Ng+ cycles
They're called difficulty levels.

Honestly the way I describe nioh is like a fighting game. It's all about spacing and footsies. Spacing is the most important part. You move so much faster than you do in souls games that spacing to bait enemies into attacking is a huge part of the game. When enemies stop attacking they regen their stamina. Which means your goal is to apply pressure to them so they don't stop attacking which lets you drain all their stamina. If you back off they will attempt to regen their stam back. Balancing aggression and safety is where nioh truly shines.

Like toshimitsu for example. People have trouble with him but they are probably trying to play it like a souls game.

And if you really want to cheese it just use Onmyo. Sloth magic and the one that slows enemy ki regen, I forget what it's called, can really fuck up an enemies day.

I describe Nioh as Diablo, Dark souls and Ninja Gaiden in a blender because that's what it is.

But gameplay wise it has nothing similar to dark souls. This is what baits people into playing it wrong. They don't see that you typed ninja gaiden along with that they only see "dark souls".

Yeah it really should be specified that its Souls checkpointing more than anything

its more like whole package of souls rpg elements, ng gameplay and diablo loot

How are the PC mods?

I put like 200+ hours into this on the PS4 but haven't played it in a year or so and I really like the game. But not sure how much more I'd get out of it if I bought it again on PC.

>whole package of souls rpg elements
Not really.

You want at least A-level weight.
Doing ki-damage is more important than anything since you want to interrupt and stun your opponent as quickly as possible. It's a game about being aggressive and offensive, not being passive and defensive. This isn't some gay souls game.
Also always block, even when you dodge. If you do these things you won't need heavy armor.

model/clothes swaps mostly. Nothing interesting.

Mostly just shitty and a few good nude mods

maybe I'll try it again, but it's really discouraging getting destroyed by absolutely anything, no matter how basic, in 2 hits
I can't remember, but I felt like both blocking and dashing took away so much stamina

yes really, you are being disingenuous

>the female enemies are the most cancerous to fight
What did Team Ninja mean by this?

That's kind of the shame about the way things are now. Everything is always compared to the popular thing. Even games being HARD now is enough to call it Soulslike.

None of those are a purely Souls thing, you'd be as well arguing the new God of War is soulsian because it has NG+ and rpg stats.
Its really just the checkpointing.

Soulsgames aren't even hard though. Normies (this board) are just fucking retards.

I love how Nioh filters soulsbabbies.

Blocking is a safety net. If you see in the vid I'm holding block, but technically I don't want to get hit while blocking. What it does is if you time your dodge wrong, it'll hit the block instead which keeps you safe but is still punishing to your stamina. I got hit while blocking a few times in the video but usually it's fine. Only once I blocked a huge hit and it drained all my stam and knocked me over which I got heavily punished for.

>habaneros aren't even spicy dude you guys just have no tolerance

>I felt like both blocking and dashing took away so much stamina
DO THE DOJO MISSIONS AND LEARN TO KI-PULSE YOU FUCKING RETARD.

I agree but that's where things stand.
