Team shitja never made a single good game, simple as
Fpbp
>responding to yourself
Shameful.
>damascus steel!!!
>it's just folded and etched crap
damascus is metalslop for poser blacksmiths who bought their equipment with their software engineer white collar high paying job and they should kill themselves
You can’t even make Damascus steel anymore it’s a lost art that cannot be replicated
Yeah exactly. What if in 2000 years they'll be like "here's some straight sex" and it's just 2 male robots fricking eachother. they should call it damascrap i tell you hwat
>2 male robots fricking eachother.
Yeah, but will they be built from folded and etched steel?
Well yeah but they'll call it aluminium
Damn next you'll tell me pig iron is bad.
What is wrong with the ki bar?
Ki bar is artificial difficulty.
Kill you+ self buddy
The stamina bar is artificial difficulty...
...
Yes. It is an arbitrary gate keeping of action.
Gameplay is an arbitrary gatekeeping of winning
Frick off
I have beaten the underworld solo dude. The ki bar is stupid mechanically and lore wise. The player character in 2 is a demon. There is no reason to have human limitations like William.
>I don't know how to ki pulse
okay fine
use the fricking barrier talismans or else sacred water if you're too moronic to play with a basic mechanic
I know how to ki pulse.
No, you clearly don't if you think it's making the game too difficult
It is artificially difficult not really difficult. It slows down action. It may as well not be there as well considering you can get back Ki when you use your soul moves.
>soul moves
My fricking sides
homie, go back to soulsslop please
You know what I mean though. The anima moves.
Please, go back to the games you enjoy that you can just facetank in
Nioh, like actual good combat games, are not for you
I already told you I beat this game inside and out. I love this game but that doesn’t mean I don’t have any complaints over it. It’s very clear you think it has no flaws but look buddy you don’t get to decide that. Feel free to love it I am content enjoying it.
Of course it has flaws
The ki system for example, filters morons.
I’m not talking about ki pulse. I am talking about the ki bar itself.
Ok but ki pulsing filters morons
it's a flaw as it stops morons playing the game and enjoying it
Ki pulse is actually a noob trap.
You're right.
Flux is where it's at.
No, spamming soul cores is where it's at. But Ki pulse and flux do have some niche uses.
>No, spamming soul cores is where it's at.
If you're not using them almost exclusively as combo extenders, you're a gay and a combolet.
>But Ki pulse and flux do have some niche uses.
Nope. Once you get good at fluxing you should be done simply ki pulsing. You should be fluxing at the end of every combo you dish that doesn't end with a soul core ability.
>2kat purity
that's not my yokai fists corruption ki destroyers.
You use them for fricking everything.
>extenders
>dps
>stagger
>ki damage
>damage reduction
>cancels
>ki regen
Weapon attacks are pretty underpowered compared to soulcores. The main purpose of weapons is charging anima. You are wasting a lot of potential not firing off Kiryoki or something every 2 seconds in your webm.
is this webm satire? there's not one flux here, just grugsmashing and nearly dying
>trolling
why?
Look I'm sure it felt good to finally beat ninja boy and I'm really happy for you but please don't act as if know shit about the game, come back in 500 more hours sweatie
>bro there's no ki pulse
Well that's trolling since the video shows others
>okay butt like imma double down on trolling
uwu
I said flux, not ki pulse. They're not the same, go play the game before u act all big newbie.
>t-t-t-triple down on the trolling
Again
why????
Get better and come back here. I'll be around, we can have a discussion when u learn the game.
Yeah listen, you're just getting into a flame war here, I get it
Okay, I get it
Ki is a wonderful mechanic and the fact that it's not like the standard slop of 'bro you have limitations but the AI shits on you so like git gud bro!!!! and just totes rely on your turn like it's a turn based game' is what you like
That's TOTALLY cool or 'kewl'. It's just not what Nioh is about. Nioh isn't a turn based action game.
>implying that webm was an example
lol
You're not even replying to the same anon anymore, moron.
it's a soulsslop troll, anon
Best to ignore it
I'm already a demon, anon.
I already scattered his sorrow to the heartless sea.
Why did I never realize they would put a fricking Dempsey Roll in for fists.
Fuark I already beat the game, is there really any point in doing the diablo 2 gear grind?
You need stamina because this is a souls game and not a ninja gaiden game.
Gaiden/dmc has no stamina so it has no run and (almost) none of "I trap you in a room, now kill all this waves of enemies".
With the current design you need stamina, otherwise you could just run pass 90% of the game
Didn't ask + you're israeli
the diablo loot drops are so fricking boring and basic. legit d3 tier itemization. What filtered me most was the map design. Legit puke
go back to dark souls then you loser
what is this sword and why do i see it so much in games based in grorious nippon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-Branched_Sword
Ceremonial sword the Koreans gave to the Japanese.
Ki bar is fine, anon
It just makes it so most enemies deal with the same limitations as you
If you're coming from shitty action games where the enemy cheats like in the souls games, I can see why you find it limiting as Nioh isn't a turn based game like most games that claim to be action games. It's a 100% action game, not a turn based one
Diablo loot is a filter for morons. Untill Way/Dream of the Wise, you can get by with just getting new drops with higher numbers and keeping at your desired weight.
i think the diablo loot would be more interesting if it was changed out about as quickly as you would in like borderlands 1 or 2.
You just change through gear so much and so quickly in nioh that they feel like they have little impact unless you have a full set bonus
Im sure late game wise the loot system really shines but i never played any "koei souls" game to the far late game. most fun i had was with strangers to paradise
the point is the loot system for minmaxing is for gays
Outside of getting 2x throwing damage in Nioh 1 for your ninjutsu shit, there is zero reason to farm for 'optimal sets
The diablo gear doesn't matter untill WoTD at the earliest since you very easily upgrade stuff you like to parity before then and the progression is very generous for the first few Ways.
WoTW is when you gotta start actually caring about buildcrafting beyond big number = 🙂
t.played a little bit of nioh 2
I HATE NURE-ONNA
I HATE NURE-ONNA
THEY DODGE AROUND LIKE moronS AND DON'T STAGGER
They die really fast
Ki pulsing is easy and once you realize that diablo loot doesn't matter until later difficulties, it's not that bad to get what you want unless you're going for absolute perfection
Easy with the splitstaff. High stance heavy extended can smash their heads before they get close enough to attack. Love the weapon but it really needs mystic dyad to feel good to use.
Diablo loot is a noob trap that filterd me out of nioh1. In the end you don't need good loot till ng+3. A good set for you playstyles is the only thing you need, also the whole forge system is useless once you get to Wise because you unlock "lucky drop" on your accessories and orange loot can't be forged
I could also argue that good stat placement dosen't matter till ng+2.
The only thing you really need to check is agility, toughness defence and hp. Also untouched nimpo/omnyo if you play mage
maybe you should have played nioh 1 instead?
The loot is one of the things that made me love Nioh 2. kys homosexual.
that sword looks fricking moronic
me too, the ki pulse system is fricking cancer. So excited the next Nioh spiritual successor game coming out soon does away with that entire garbage mechanic
I want TN to make a Nioh like without the diablo loot. Its cool that Nioh is a well made ARPG and bu endgame you have to also consider builds but for most players the loot is just needless busy work every mission or so.
You don't need to consider builds at all for the first play through and only really need to start actually making a competent one for NG+3.
It's honestly one of the best for progression since it's totally optional for the first playthrough where the vast majority of the playerbase check out and only starts to actually matter once you've decided that yeah I do like this enough to do it 5 times.
You can clear DotN with a clownsuit and set requirements -1. Which is less annoying than trying to get the right ethereal drops for an actual set.
Rise of the ronin's rumored not to frick with loot.
>soul cores are now yokai skills
Tell me you saw shit from a soulslop comparison video without telling me you never played the game
>Ki bar
Literally just stamina
>Diablo loot
Literally the best part of the game, it gives it actual replay value unlike other souikeslop which I've never had the urge to play after beating.
>we will never get gameplay as good as NiOh2 ever again
i dont understand how they even managed it
The ki bar is fine. Diablo loot is fricking trash, and needs to stop.
Double Fluxing with Odachi and Axe is a gamechanger.
Goes from running out of Stamina easy to having infinite stamina early on.
Im convinced all these super aggresive and long combos I see vids of from this game is from several new game plusses down the line. I dont have anywhere near enough Ki or magic to be spamming shit. Less than a handful of attacks or 2 yokai abilities will fully deplete my bars, and I'm three parts in.
Despite all the advice to the contrary, poking and dodging around yokai really does work best. I'll maybe string together a few things if it's down to red ki.
Getting good with ki pulsing and then fluxing will go a long way in managing your stamina.
Takes too much time. In the heat of battle, I often have to dodge out of the way before I can do a well timed ki pulse. I only find it usable if the enemy isn't doing anything.
I guess you got more attack pattern memorization and muscle memorization to do then.
You'll get it down eventually if you just keep trying. And remember, you can always lab at the dojo.
no you stupid frick you can't spawn enemies other than some samurais skeletons and shitter yoki in the dojo
I know, fricking moron idiot.
You can still practice moves there though. Like ki pulsing and fluxing.
Perfecting your build.
By the end of the game you can really trick yourself out with some pretty game changing special effects, especially from picture scrolls.
I've restarted this game like 6 or 7 times, and playing slow and steady is the best I've performed so far lol. Aggresive play just isn't happening.
I also swear people have been lying about how "good" blocking is supposed to be in this game. Yokai will genereally break your guard super easily, and you'll barely have ki to counterattack anyway.
I've rerolled in a guard build right now and I can agree. I can barely do it with ultimate courage, boar guardian for anima on guard, and Acla grace (+100 Def, easier timely guard and -30 ki consume on guard). And of course you just don't guard everything unless you are sure you can timely guard it
iirc blocking depends on the type of armor you're wearing.
If you're running light or medium, you should probably consider blocking something of a last resort.
You can still be very effective playing reactionary instead of proactively. There's a lot of parries for example, even a couple you can use on yokai. The fist skill, opportunist, might be the best parry in the game since it works on virtually any physical attack, from basic humans to supermassive yokai bosses.
Block is "good" because you dodge instantly if you hold block and can get out of a stunlock. There are pretty strong weapon skills with guard frames. It also activates and deactivates instantly so you don't have to hold it all the time. You usually can block a couple of hits if you use heavy armor.
I honestly like all the customisation options in Nioh 2.
I hope they keep this for Rise of the Ronin but I doubt it.
Might have the best character creator since dragon's dogma, not counting subslop like black desert or honey select.
Nioh 2 is the last major release featuring males and females. All current and future games have 01s and 02s
The ki bar is cool but it's almost pointless by the end because double fluxing is so easy to do and there's virtually no reason not to do it whenever possible. I hope they make ki management a little more important for the next one because they might as well cut out all the RPG mechanics otherwise and make it a straight action game.
Diablo loot always sucked in these games, they should take it out because it's either useless or it's so good that it allows shitters to coast. And it's always garbage filler content.
Nioh was a very weird curve.
At first gear is pointless and you just equip the best you drop and try to play minimally decent as possible.
Then gear matters little but you've got to git gud and really master movesets both yours and enemies'.
Then everything devolves into a moronic minmax in which very little matters other than sinergies and nuking enemies as fast as possible.
