It feels super cheap the enemy variety is garbage and the unique boss roster is very small they copy pasted like 50% of the enemies in this game from nioh 2

>>734123109
For you.

Game feels awfully unfinished after the 1st map.

>>734123109
The game is way too easy. I'm currently raping NG+ while underleveled and I don't even have a powerful build. People moved on.

Fire the person who decided for this game to be open world

>RE requiem

Gee its a wonder, for people with sub-80 IQ

Retarded post

It's too easy, there's like one real nioh boss for every eight bosses you encounter and enemies that were a sincere threat in 1 or 2 are now pushovers

>>734123109
Finished it, waiting a bit before going into ng+
Can only be assed to farm a yasakani so much when all the sets suck dick and we don't have ethereals yet

NG+ is an awful slog compared to previous game that it kills my drive to continue playing and talking about the game

Just beat kunimatsu in ng+, i thought the gaki talisman to slow down his would work here but he still regens Ki so fast even with 2 scampuss going up his ass. Took much longer for me to beat him compared to hiruko as I kept getting grabbed by his stupid grapple in phase 2 where he can quickly follow it up from his 3 swing melee combo, or played too greedy in the first phase.
I was almost considering also dropping sloth talisman on him to create more openings as shock status doesnt last long for him, but the lightning calamity still does a good amount of damage on him.

>>734123109

>>734125810
RE6 is fucking garbage. Even if you enjoy the retarded shooting for whatever reason, the game is still at least 60% atrocious setpieces. Capcom thought they could make Uncharted or Call of Duty and they couldn't come close.

>>734125619
This.

>>734123109
It's a big game.

>>734123109
It wasn't nearly as good as Nioh 2 and we have nothing new to look forward to until September

>>734125520
I was stuck on him for a couple days too. I just used soul devourer for the axe and actually learned his fight to beat him. In NG I barely got to see his moveset.

I'm definitely not sparing him at the end now

>>734123109
>only 1 million sold in 2 weeks despite the open world and casualization buff
Embarassing flop. Nioh 1 sold this many being only on PS4. Team Shitja is finished.

>>734123109
People completed the game we have for now and moved on to other games? Threads will resurge when DLCs hit I presume.

>>734125921
I don't give a fuck about th campaign I play mercenaries exclusively

>>734123109
If I don't talk about it, will it die?

I really like the open world and I don't know why people prefer the mission mode given how disconcerting it is for flow. The only downside is how long it takes to unlock refightable bosses. TN knows how much people like to do that

>>734123109
What's there to talk about? From the start half the threads was occupied by trannies jerking over their avatars and haing shipping wars over which yokai they'd like to look like. Now that they nerfed Todo all the shitter newfags that actually played it for the watered down casualized gameplay from older installments got too filtered to bother it can finally take it's rightful place on /vg/ - tranny central.

Streamlining missions to fit in an "open field" wasn't overall worth it. Missions had much more visual variety alone by not having to compromise in a shared world space. Addressing how much time was wasted in menus would've been much more productive.

>>734123109
They recycled a shit ton of content and somehow managed to have no variety in regular mobs, while having you fight Enenra, the Zuki bros and Kamaitachi multiple times. I completed the game but have no strong desire to replay it until the DLCs drop.

>>734123109
I finished NG and was too bored to play NG+

>>734123109

Prolly too poor to afford it. i know i am

>>734126447
Nioh 1 is also a better game

>>734128082
Nioh 1 has aged like milk gameplay wise. You would've been credible saying Nioh 2 where for example yokai cores shit all over summoning cores.

It was my first Nioh game and I put like 50hours in it. I loved it.

I want to try 2 now but I’m scared I’ll get filtered hard. Is it really that hard? And is there any way to be overpowered with a build like Ninja mode in 3 ?

>>734123109
I beat ng+, it was too easy, I've moved onto other things until performance is fixed and there's new dlc or something.

>>734123109
Nioh 2 was better and discussion lasted longer

>>734128314
I went back to nioh 2 about 1/3 of the way into 3 because i had never actually beaten 2

It is way harder, but putting all your points into ninjutsu power and tossing bombs is even cheesier than in 3

>>734128307
>Nioh 1 has aged like milk gameplay wise
Nonsense. Nioh 1 is just as fun to play today as it was back in the day. The extra moves from 2 are very nice additions, but you can still enjoy the first game plenty

Finished NG after 60 hours. It was good but I still think Nioh 2 was the peak of the franchise. Kunimatsu's fight after antiquity was the hardest mandatory boss fight in the whole game.

>>734128931
not really. Anytime I log in I get these BLOOD EDGE DEMON HAS APPEARED messages and I just stare at the screen wondering why would I want to kill that thing for 5th time again

>>734128770
I understand the lore reason coz takechiyo isn't a shiftling but yeah, its grim

Love the guardian spirit skill though, a flaming roundhouse kick will always be cool

I was the anon who complained about the boring heavy stance hold Y axe combat. I just unlocked the woodchopper homerun move which, lucky me, was from the first and only master I've killed so far and I'm having fun again.
I also unlocked the hold Y move that is the basic hold Y heavy stance move but with more damage, insane tracking and for some reason insane forward movement, which is pretty good.
Can I somehow have both of these moves in the same stance even if they regularly have the same input?
Like assign one of them to 'hold X' or something?

Gonna wait for Nioh Amritareign in which you team up to up to two other players to defeat the amrita lords on a map made of multiple fused time eras.

>>734129081
I never killed that thing because I'm pretty bad at the game or maybe it's because that thing is 20 times stronger than anything I've encountered so far.
Do you get some nice drops from that thing?

Dead Internet Theory is real.

>>734129223
I've killed it twice now, first at level 45ish and second time at level 100.
The first kill gave me some nice loot but you level up so fast when youre so low, and the second kill gave me literally level 11 stuff

you get the loot from the red graves around it and also his soulcore at your level but you outlevel everything in 10 minutes if you just go play the game that it doesn't seem like a good deal.

I'm confused, what you should be doing is mid stance tornado's edge -> victory rush -> tornado's edge because they chain together with the martial skill and you stack damage reduction / stam reduction so you can just keep going

>>734129353
StS2 will in EA for over a year and will be a total mess until it leaves EA in which case it'll be godlike again

Can't imagine playing any Nioh without 100% drop chance cheat and putting on a modest money multiplier, 1.5x or something like that.

I’m waiting a year or so until post-DLC when it gets the “GOTY” edition or w/e and goes on sale.

>>734123252
The 1st map sucked, 2nd and 3rd were tons better because they're just a bunch of typical Nioh stages stitched together and not open world slop.

It's the opposite. They ran out of Steam after the first map.

>story lacks the charm of the previous ones, despite having a better concept. Huge missed opportunity to expand Nioh outside Japanese history had they stuck with mission mode.
This is my only real issue. They had an excuse to do a lot of cool shit with the story and time travel and did absolutely none of it.

I thought the fish guy was gonna be the final boss, what do you mean there is more?

I finally got around to beating it last night, but I'm debating if it's even worth playing NG+. The design of this game doesn't really seem to lend itself to NG+ as well as the mission structure from 1 and 2. I also aptly predicted that the bosses would become more obnoxious with readability and attack spam due to the insanely overtuned defensive options in this game. Granting every weapon deflect or evade is a fucking mistake. Defensive mechanics being weapon exclusive is just a much more interesting design.

I still don't know how to really proceed the right way when a human blocks my combos, I just do the fire tornado move that I got from the second boss(from 2) and that usually overwhelms their Ki through sheer volume if nothing else. Don't know if it applies more to other weapons but that's been my splitstaff experience.

>>734133069
Literally heian is peak what are you talking about

>>734130629
I DONT KNOW WHY

>>734123109
I beat it. Taking a break before ng plus.

Why are you faggots attacking people who prefer the mission based style.

No wonder the discussion has died down

Is there a mod to change direction + triangle combos to triangle + circle or triangle + square or something? I hate these inputs.

I like hitting the monkey yokai when it's out of stamina. It looks like I'm playing punch out hehe!

There were back to back threads for at least a few weeks since the demo and some time after the release. There's a thread on /vg/ if you so desperately need that dopamine.

Don't get why people have a problem with Kunimatsu. He has the longest openings to attack.
Tutorial boss is the hardest one followed by tutorial boss on a horse; then the 2 phase Hiruko and Okita.

Huge map full of nothing
Very few new Yokai and unique bosses, lots of Yokai they literally could've just copy pasted are just missing for no reason (actually, it's because they can "sell" them as part of the DLCs)

I have over 30 hours in the game and there's TWO new outfits. Everything else is rehashed.

It's a good game for sure, but it's mildly disappointing in its current state. Gonna have to wait for the DLCs.

>>734133786
NG+ is just doing the dungeons and bosses. You have all your fast travel points outside these. It takes barely any time and there is no real difficulty increase. They'll throw in an Enenra in the dungeon but you can just run past it.

>>734136495
Tonfa, Axe, Odachi 1kat (in Nioh 1), Ninjutsu (in 2 and 3) and fists are all very fucking overpowered.

Schizobro?

I'm not minding NG+ that much
The new lesser crucibles are fun, the new enemy bases range from shit to good and the little changes to the world map with enemy spawns is nice
I wish they just shat out more bosses all over the place though, the enenra just placed as a regular enemy in the first crucible was cool and I want more of that

It's too easy for me so I went back to Nioh 1 to see how it was actually and not in my noob memories.

Turns out Nioh 1 was way harder but only at first, after a while the difficulty is about the same as 3 although normal enemies are still less aggressive than I'd like. I'll also replay Nioh 2 and finish the DLCs, maybe by the time I'm done Nioh 3 will get rebalanced. I hate ninja, it wasn't worth losing half of the weapons.

Fellas I'm going to make a magic spam build in 2. Just need to beat that one dojo mission to get the mage set smithing text. I see the light of the barrier talisman now. Fast Ki is great, and I want it to last.

should i try nioh 2 again

1 was hilariously broken if you used even 1% of it's mechanics
The most dangerous ganks were also all in the bathouse since it was 1 of 3 maps where leashing everything in a zone would spell death if you weren't using a good build.

The strongest most dangerous mooks weren't any of the yokai, it was the ninja due to their substantially lower post attack cooldown
2 on launch may have had Yatsu-no-kami, Ippon-Datara, Otakemaru and Kato ninjutsu. But 1 had literally the entire game working to help you ignore the encounter design.

>I have no idea what you are talking about
Check your crucible axes, there's one that drops with a skill that has "tornado" in the name. You can unlock the crucible skill for use outside the axe by maxing the familiarity on the crucible weapon with it.
Tornado's Edge is similar to the Mad Spinner skill but has a fixed length and doesn't have as long a recovery animation or the risk of running out of ki
"Victory Rush" is a skill in the Axe tree that turns your ki pulse into a forward movement. This doubles as an attack so you don't ever have to stop attacking.
That thing where your weapon turns white will remain active between skills. Tornado into Victory Rush means you get to stick to the enemy until you decide you dont want to any more and if you have "damage reduction on attack" from your gear and the Konjushi guardian spirit from Takeda you are essentially invincible while you do it.

It's less exploits and more how nearly every tool we got in Nioh 1 was retardedly strong on launch
It's (slightly) better balanced these days.

But I still remember when Power Pill was an over 30% damage buff without a single point invested into skill.
Launch Nioh was wild, man.

how the fuck i unlock the warrior adept quest?

>>734138865
progress the story and talk to the samurai dude

>>734133570
Doesn't have anything to do with trans-shit. My OC in Nioh 2 was a sexy DOA character, but samurai armor looks better on men. The story doesn't work all that much with a female protag. They should have given Takechiyo a more memorable design instead of giving us a character creator this time. There is no reason for giving him only 2 lines in the entire game.

I have over 150 hours, I have multiple build sets at +7/+8, and have done all of the content several times over. I could farm my gear even higher but there's no point when they're going to add new set bonuses and rarity in updates. I'll hop on for some coop runs from time to time but overall I'm at the waiting stage for DLC, Way of the Nioh difficulty and the inevitable endgame.

>>734138853
That's interesting, do you think this is also true for Nioh 2 on launch? I heard it was easier overall.
For Nioh 3 it's the first time I'm playing the first few versions so I'm surprised that stuff like >Todo or jank parry window bugs can even happens, not to mention the overall lacking difficulty

otoroshi is blasting my ass

>>734137593
Much higher difficulty and better level design. Which could have been in 3 even with the open world, they were nearly there imo, all areas just neededs a few more ennemies and traps and sections where you're locked into a tiny arena beyond just the crucibles and it would have been kino.
Also Ninja is a good idea executed badly. It wasn't worth losing the stances at all, not to replace it with 3 items.

Nioh 2 was easier because the player had more mechanics to actually interact with the shit that they're fighting. But there was also less (almost none) retarded double fights.

There was still broken shit;
>everything about Ninjutsu
>launch Ippon-datara, Gozuki, Mezuki, Mitsume Yazura, Nurikabe('s guard damage), Yatsu-no-kami, Otakemaru, and probably 1-2 more I'm not remembering.
>Kusarigama Blade Spin being literally fucking bullshit overpowered

Actual broken shit;
>Hatchets not properly applying elements
>Hatchets variant moves (Shadow/Light for dual toss) not properly scaling with passives
>Hatchets Arise having mediocre tracking
>Hat
Hatchets had some issues on launch man.
>Shuten Doji getting suck
>Azai getting stuck
>Yokai skills not properly level syncing down (this one impacted us because we used to run expeditions back then)
Also shit like the Oni-bi soul cores never fucking dropped until they buffed the drop rate.
But overall a lot of the funny balance nightmares in 1 was excised completely out of the game.

Coming from 1 to 2 was a leisurely vacation for the /v/ of that time.
I still have my docs from when I was working out Yokai Shift builds and compiling data was fun. But, I more fondly remember the co-op expeditions we had every day.

Anyways, 3's "easier" compared to 2 in the same way that 2 was when compared to 1. I still like it because the mechanical depth has expanded.
I put in my survey to enable simultaneous enemy attacks, but at 200 hours in, I'm not sure that'd be received well by the playerbase if it actually happened.
A lot of encounters would turn into a bathouse tier player blender if Itsumade+Bakegani+Tengu all were allowed to gank you simultaneously. I guess we'll see.

Whats the earliest you can do a stronk fist build? Or what's the "nuke bosses" option this time around? I like my grug axe gameplay but I'd love to make it even more braindead.

>>734143464
Soon as you get talisman of the fist I'm pretty sure
Even without shocks, bare handed onmyo is just very good

Might as well use it while farming before it gets it's inevitable nerf

Nioh 2 was so hard bro
>Slams 2 Ippons on the boss and melts his HP while he's out of ki

At least they are great in 3

>I put in my survey to enable simultaneous enemy attacks
Very based.
I just asked them to increase the difficulty without anything in particular, but yeah just increasing the aggression would do a lot

I've been making my girl half naked to increase difficulty.

>>734144431

No shit, you can one shot most bosses in every souls game and monster hunter if you abuse mechanics like that

>>734143936
I'll keep an eye out for the talisman then, thanks anon. I didn't even know you use onmyo with it

That's exactly how it works on Nioh 2. Unless you mean Playstation X.

>>734138453
>I don't think they really play anything else either, just Nioh all day every day with small breaks to try another franchise before going right back to Nioh. The hours on Nioh 2 people post are like no other game I've ever seen

Probably true considering how consistent the fanbase is, even though we never hear from them.

>>734123109
I think nioh 2 is better than nioh 3.

>>734143464
There's a skill under the Takeda crucible boss bridge that gives the bare fist damage I think but I don't remember where the "become unstaggerable" fists skill is

To this day, I still have not beaten the Toyotomi + Nine Tailed Fox sub mission from Nioh 1. In fact, after completing Two Kings and Meeting On The Other Shore, I spent a grand total of 5 minutes running around in the DLC duo fight before deciding I'd already received ample platters of Nioh's 2v1s.

>>734146518
Uh oh filtered by cunnychadsu.

>>734146650
i'm not even at him yet, i'm at the faggot fish nigger. every single boss is just a fucking slog of bullshit attacks. you can play perfectly for 90% of the fight and then just get one shot by some faggot grab attack that you mistimed by 0.0000000000000001 second. the only good parts of these games is running through the levels, boss fights are fun stops.

>>734146774
>he can't survive a grab
not my problem I play samurai, maybe stop being a gay ass ninja next time.

We all beat it and there isn't much endgame past making sets for when higher difficulties arrive

>>734146518
Really? I'm still on my first playthrough of 2 and I find the bosses by far the easiest parts of the game. Not in a bad way either, I think it's fun how much you can shit on them with your build, but they're not very challenging at all. I did die a bunch on the Nioh 3 demo first boss, that one had so much tracking it was crazy and it made me stop using mechanics and just focus on the basics to get through it, but on Nioh 2 the more bullshit I have the less the bosses can do about it.

>>734146608
Honestly understandable
Abyss double fights don't have regular double fights scripting either so it's just a nonstop gankfest where you kite one guy and ignore the other. They suck ass.

I will never play nioh 1, not until they make a remake that allows you to customize William into a cute anime girl.

>>734148337
That's already a feature.

Are full Onmyo magic builds still a thing in this game?

>>734148573
I don't want a model swap for an existing character I want a character creator.

Nah, I just finished nioh 1 and dlc for the first time in years and it’s a major mixed bag. It’s horrendously balanced even among the nioh series. 1 is the hardest. 2 is the easiest. Not really a positive for 1 though. Hideyori and nine tails is vile, you have to cheese it.
>>734143247
Yatsu was nerfed like 5 straight patches it was so broken

Takechiyo might as well be a silent protag, they barely ever say anything

I'm in the second region now and this shit is literally Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, Japan. I'm bored beyond belief. This is somehow even easier than Valhalla what the fuck.

People need to stop complaining about the game’s difficulty. None of the nioh games are hard unless you intentionally handicap yourself by not using literally anything.

>>734156934
Hot take: I think the open world in nioh 3 is techincally just the usual Nioh level structure but without loading screens, the open world is very linear.

>>734156397
The kino in question:
>reused bosses from the first game
>reused levels from the first game
>worse versions of base game bosses
>boss that brings back the worst gimmick from the first game (living weapon user that won’t stop attacking for one second)
>adds several of the worst enemies in the game

>>734128314
2 is not what I would call "hard", though it is more challenging than 1. But once you find a basic, simple build or setup that works and you don't worry too much about dynamically styling on every enemy, it's a lot easier. Once you learn the demon parry, you're basically set.

>>734157045
Cool, so I got to run around pointless content instead of having a level select.
I don't consider that gameplay and neither was collecting shitty POIs to unlock skills and skill points.

It's nothing but a detriment

>>734137593
Near enough every new feature 3 introduces feels like an admission that they ran out of ideas, it's uninspired as hell

Nioh 2 is my favorite game of all time but 3 might top it with its DLC. Stance dancing has never been better than nioh 3 and the new skills are badass

Did everything thrice over. There's nothing left for me except grinding more Glory just to level up other Clans.
I want more from the Open Field. As it is, there's little reason to go back to any of them once you've done the collectathons.
Everything is static, and the NG+ respawning Crucibles are a short lived novelty.
I want random roaming enemies, Yokai and Revenants chasing you through the map, occasional human vs yokai encounters you can join in on, things constantly respawning, Dark Realms popping up everywhere other than just the fixed locations, threat levels constantly escalating the longer you go without visiting a Shrine.

As an Abyss-equivalent, turn a more open/intact area of Kyoto into an endless playground of conflict. Shinsengumi, Choshu, and Tokugawa Yokai roaming around, fighting each other and you. Finding the exit to the next floor so you can fight a boss? Nah. You take some territory, kill enough Yokai and the boss will come find you.

Is there a hotspring in the last mission? I'm pretty sure I bathed in every hot spring in the game but I didn't get the achievement

>>734123109
nioh 2 is better tbqdesu

Open field killed it for me. It was always a good time in the older games to start a new level because you never really knew what you were gonna get. Even within one zone, you had wildly different environments and challenges. In Nioh 3, the whole map is pretty much the same thing.

Also, it's too easy and the cum sword mechanic is kind of stupid.

>>734123109

>>734159267
The last crucible in the 1st region to the north (west) has a hot spring that didn't count for me the first time I was in it so I had to restart the mission after I beat it.

So what's the best Soul Core? I've been using Mesugaki Chief for awhile now.

>>734160593
I just use whatever gives me the most attack.

My only issue with 3 is it further nerfed movement speed from 2 which was nerfed from 1. Crouch cancels dont make it much faster so my cope is DLC will give you at least 200% movement back. (Less than 1s 700% conditional but way better than 2s lol 80%).
Nioh games are like MH; the previous games with its DLCs makes the next base game zzzzzzzz

>Is there a hotspring in the last mission?
In the final mission where you fight the veil there is a hotspring,

>>734160578
Fighting is what these games are about. Nioh 3 is lesser because instead of a proper level, you have a bunch of tedious empty space with nothing to fight. The Hell's are the best part of the game, because they're actual levels instead of empty fields.

>>734161686
The field is full of enemies, if you decide not to go and kill them all that is on you.

>>734164462
Tired of Piercing Hurl after using it for as long as I did in Nioh 2, desudesu. I used to think Chain Hurl sucks too. I seem to remember the damage being really bad in 2, I can't say for sure though since I only used Piercing. I've come to like Chain a lot in 3.
Chain Hurl is nice because it'll lock down humans and smaller yokai while giving me a ton of time to decide when and where I want to go into Wild Surge. Humans also like to put themselves in situations where they're airborne as I'm chainhurling, which knocks them down for a free grapple.
By default the range is ass, but in situations where you have the high ground, you can get some really good damage in as the enemy tries to find their way up to you. iirc, Piercing can't aim at downward angles and will just fly over heads if you're at too high of an elevation.

>>734162804
There are few Skills that actually use Trained Throw, and you're still suffering the range disadvantage, so you're losing more damage from distance than you'd gain from the timing (like with Boulder Breaker's backdash before the second hatchet). It's useful if you really like using Piercing/Dual Hurl up close (1.15x damage) or the one very powerful use case of Greased Lightning (1.5x despite it not being a "throw").

The damage falloff on every thrown axe* happens pretty quick, like just outside of Quick melee distance, and it varies a bit between skill, but most drop down to around 75% damage at the furthest you could throw them on a level surface. Tireless Throw is worth it if you like throwing shit from a distance, running around and spamming Advancing Storm, sniping with Dual Hawks, and especially using the retreating skills like Death From Above and Boulder Breaker.
Use Tireless Throw. It's actually worth it.
*The high arc throws like Scaling Waterfall and Eagle Shadow don't suffer from ranged falloff. Just about everything else does.

Is it just me or do stats not affect weapons much at all. Skill seems like the best stat since it boosts martial arts and ninjutsu. Magic maybe if you do onmyo.

>>734170669
I just go for the one that increases ki so I can attack more times, spear and DB scale with it so that's cool since they are my favorite weapons.

>>734164671
because this is /v/ and most people here are retards who only know how to argue and bicker like children

>>734170669
It scales off the highest stat the most, the other two stats dont really matter as much
If you want to min max i remember that you want the highest stat at 72 before getting the secondary stat to 30 or 40
Also skill only increases martial arts damage by a really small amount even at 99, i think ninjutsu damage scales a bit better

Absolute garbage game and it's actually baffling why they went down this route. Open world slop no one asked for, terrible performance, no challenge in order to appeal to casuals, locking weapons to Samurai and Ninja mode for no reason; the list goes on and on. What the hell were they thinking!?

Most stats don't contribute much to your base variables, and see diminishing returns in the 20-45 range.
20 minimum everything for the sake of armor requirements and getting the most of each point.
40 Magic to unlock all Soul Core slots.
The rest, spend on whatever. Skill and Intellect are objectively the best stats and pushing them to 99 is worth it

Already done and waiting for the dlc.
