People were shilling this game for months and now that's

>>381487380
It's a singleplayer game with finite content, and things to talk about/discover.

>>381487380
>now that's it's been out there's like no discussion
It came out over 4 months ago among lots of other great games, that's not surprising. The only games still getting discussion that came out then are the waifu games.
Anyways, you should know that it's closer to Dark Souls than DMC or NG, but the combat is certainly much faster and has more depth than any Souls game. It suffers from enemy variety and going on maybe a bit too long but it's a great game nonetheless.

Nioh was fucking amazing. Once a fresh DLC pack comes out it will dominate the front page once again.

>>381487803
I didn't even realize it's been that long you'd think dlc would be out by now. Either way I'm going to go pick it up , it's on discount right now

>>381488519
The first DLC came out a month and a half ago so it's fairly old news, everybody is just waiting for the second one.

>>381487380
I'm still waiting for it to be $20

>>381487380
NiOh is great, I'm playing through it right now.
Hoping by the time I finish the first DLC, the second will have dropped.

Nioh has better combat than Blood Borne. So it did something right

>>381488990
I prefer Bloodborne's combat (and BB in general), but I think NiOh has better combat than the rest of the Souls games.

>>381487380
I got crucified in threads pre release for saying it looked just okay. Im glad i sold it for the same price i bought it a week after it came out.

I liked Nioh but sucked at it. One of the final levels that made you refight 4 bosses was quite annoying.

>>381487740
This. Exactly the same with Bloodborne.

>>381487380
It's nothing like DMC or Ninja Gaiden, it's kind of like a more action oriented onimusha that was inspired by soulslikes.

Not enough waifus to make constant x is best gurl threads. No an ambiguous villain to make x did nothing wrong threads.

>>381488990
This is a bold faced complete lie. I have both and Nioh is trash. The story is retarded, comical and makes no sense, the stages are too small and the missions are repetitive as fuck. Theres also nothing fun about the gameplay unless you DOOL WEAL and 99% of the items you collect are useless. It's a poor nip Souls.

>>381487380
The combat in this game is amazing, way more skill involved and less about memorizing enemy attack patterns. There is so much depth and mechanics that when you finally master the game you'll feel amazing. Pick up GR2 first, you'll fly through that game, and then play Nioh.

>>381487380
It's not bad but it's not the greatest thing.

>>381487380
It wasn't that great. Probably the best non-Soulsborne Soulsborne, but that ain't saying much.

it's the exact same combat as souls but improved with greater depth via stances, and more punishment for spamming
>99% of the items you collect are useless
git gud

>>381487380
It's extremely mediocre in just about everything.

Don't go in expecting Ninja Gaiden, there is nothing there besides some copy pasted assets.

What out for that last fag's intro. It's hard to find 2 videos that are good for comparison because fights tend to be over before the boss does everything it can do, but trust me when i say that 70% of her moveset is copy pasted from the NG boss,

There was plenty of discussion when it came out you just missed the window of the first few months

just sloth bro

I think this game compares more to Onimusha than DMC.
If you like Onimusha, this games great. For the first 10 hours or so, then it's just the same shit. I kept going because I like the art design and bosses.

>>381487380
People just finished the game and got bored. The DLC was kind of weak, too. Maybe the next DLCs will be better.

>>381493329
Sloth is broken as a concept, they can nerf it all they want, it will remain broken as long as it's in the game

It's... good. I didn't fall in love with it, though. Partly because it relies too much on Japanese history and myth that I really don't understand and partly because the randomized loot SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.

Like oh my god it suuuucks.You never get anything special that feels like it really changes the way you play. It's almost always just these boring incremental improvements. Even big damage boosts are rare. You're pretty much stuck with the same weapons from start to finish, unless you care enough to totally respec your Willy.

The fighting mechanics are pretty good though. I hope they get a sequel and trim all the fat.

>>381488519
how much?

>>381493609
There was literally a Dragon's Dogma thread a few minutes. A fucking half finished game is able to support a fandom for years and have a general.

I fucked myself over by going hammer at endgame

All my attacks are insanely strong, one heavy combo is enough to kill anything that isn't a boss. And bosses hp drops ludicrously fast as well

Haven't finished it (I'm missing the three missions unlocked after you finish the main story, but I personally liked it immensely; my GOTY 2017 so far.
It may not set your world on fire, but it is definitely worth a play if you like action games.
Source: I actually played it. Sorry for the garbage photo but I don't know how to take out screenshots from the PS4 without involving Twitter.

>>381494732
I don't hate it; quite the opposite but (in my opinion) every weapon's randomized special properties don't really influence the game; I just choose the weapon with the biggest damage number and went fine with it.

>>381494069
DD is meme trash, Nioh is superior in literally every way

>>381494732
IT'S NOT LIKE DARK SOULS HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED DARK SOULS IT'S FR*CKING EPIC IT WAS MY FIRST ACTION GAME?

Its like Dark Souls but bad

People hating on randomized loot is definitely a new thing. I dont remember it pre WoW.

>>381495294
you mean it's like dark souls but you haven't played it

>>381487380
It's my current GOTY.

>>381494036
Amazon has used copies for around 30-40 bucks. I was gonna get gravity rush first but it's still pretty expensive . Ffxv is only like 20 bucks on Amazon too though so I'm considering that too..

>>381487380
I didn't personally care for the style of gameplay. I've had enough of dark souls shit.

I played it for like 4 hours and didn't care anymore. It just didn't grip me. I think I don't care about vidya anymore but it's hard to tell. Any tests for this boys?

The random loot in the game is only bad when you're min maxing for an op build, I don't understand the bitching

>>381495443
tough choice desu

it's between this, yakuza 0 and persona 5 i think
man, 2017 has been stellar for vidya

>>381495482
If you get the chinese/english version of gravity rush it can be had for $20 bucks.

Protip, the game is in a made up language so there is no chinese or english voice acting. So nothing is lost buying this version.

how do i get the red demon torso? i've got literally every other par of the armour

>opposed to?
I'm sorry, but hitting an enemy once or twice and then taking a couple steps back for them to whiff their attack gets extremely boring after the first few missions. At least with Souls games I can blow through enemies I know I can blow through, and take my time on the harder ones. In Ni-Oh, you have to stop and take your time on every single enemy or you will be combo'd to death by starter mobs. It's horribly tedious and kills any want for me to pop the disc in.
>have you even played it?
Yes. Do you know what korean drops refers to?
>need your hand held?
If the game is going to be like that, then there's no reason to even have an HP bar, or even armor for that matter.
>0 fun for you
Look I like axes, but the mid-tier damage just doesn't make up for the stamina usage, and I'm forced to hit and wait and hit and wait even more than when I'm using other weapons.

It's a good game but it lacks a few key components that leads to the amount of discussion on /v/ that gives birth to generals

I was here at console release, threads lasted for at least 2 years both on /v/ as well as /vg/

>>381495816
>I'm sorry, but hitting an enemy once or twice and then taking a couple steps back
you weren't using any of your skills. if you get good with movement and timing you NEVER have to let up on attacking and can stay glued to enemies

>Yes. Do you know what korean drops refers to?
yes, rare drops. the only rare drops in Nioh are smithing texts, and you can stack stats so high that you'll get them in like 10 attempts at most. hardly korean

>If the game is going to be like that, then there's no reason to even have an HP bar, or even armor for that matter.
except you know, it's a Diablo style game. you're meant to MAKE BUILDS. if you want to tank more hits, use a fucking bulky high damage resistance set and set bonuses. i can take hits from bosses on WotD mode in my setup just fine

>Look I like axes, but the mid-tier damage just doesn't make up for the stamina usage, and I'm forced to hit and wait and hit and wait even more than when I'm using other weapons.
so you're just not familiar with ki pulse and flux mechanics, you know, the two most important things for combat in this game. if you're using the axe the way the game allows you you won't have stamina problems. and there are even builds that focus on having low stamina as well

if you couldn't figure out that it was a game you'd have to spend time to learn from the demos, then that's on you entirely

>>381496283
>Remember the constant DD threads before the PC release?

It literally had a general up on vg and got constant 500 reply threads. Get lost newfag.

You are blaming the game because you fucking suck and chose a boring playstyle. You are playing it like Dark Souls.

>you weren't using any of your skills.
You mean the abilities I have to unlock by hitting and waiting over and over again until I do unlock them?

>hardly korean
The fact that an enemy can drop the exact same equipment and weapons you currently have, with different stats (better or worse) makes it "korean". If you love having to stop the game whenever you pick something up to check it out, then I truly am sorry.

>MAKE BUILDS.
Yes I know this, but wearing big bulky shit as a necessity just to survive one combo is bad design, period.

>ki pulse and flux mechanics
They're interesting mechanics, but having to constantly shift my view up to the stamina bar to make sure I pull it well enough takes the player's attention away from the enemy(ies) they're fighting, and the stamina management just becomes a chore.

>>381496847
Soulsborne fan here. I choose a super boring build for my Nioh's character (sword main, axe secondary, no onmyo or ninjitsu at all) and I had no trouble through the game; I basically played it as a Bloodborne where you can block.
It's not Soul's fault; that guy is just a retard.

alright mate. you're pretty much admitting now that you just didn't realize what kind of game it was. probably heard someone say, "it's the new dark souls" and bought it without thinking at all

>You mean the abilities I have to unlock by hitting and waiting over and over again until I do unlock them?
you don't have to kill a single thing to have enough skill points to buy shit

>If you love having to stop the game whenever you pick something up to check it out, then I truly am sorry.
you don't play many Diablo style ARPG games. you NEVER need to check the low tier yellow shit you pick up. equip whatever is at the top of your list and highest level until you get to endgame where you can make builds, like in every Diablo game

>Yes I know this, but wearing big bulky shit as a necessity just to survive one combo is bad design, period.
so you're saying builds should not have significant impact on playstyle?

>They're interesting mechanics, but having to constantly shift my view up to the stamina bar to make sure I pull it well enough takes the player's attention away from the enemy(ies) they're fighting, and the stamina management just becomes a chore.
there are both audio and visual cues all over the damn screen telling you when to ki pulse AND telling you when you've done it right

keep hating the game and convincing people it's shit if you want. but at least don't lie

>>381497513
meant BB actually. and i didn't say DeS is shit, i said what you said. a flawed game that set a groundwork for sequels

>>381497419
You always replenish max because it gives you an attack boost along with several other benefits, including chaining moves together, switching weapons properly, and changing stances. The bar is irrelevant.

>>381497419
>You have to look at the bar to measure the amount of stamina you want to replenish.
What do you mean? You either go for a full Ki pulse when the particles are around you or a partial when you don't have the time for that. There is no reason to look at the bar.

>>381497775
>they keep flip flopping on it

Except I always did you lying samefag, you trundled about with 1 kat or axe and whined it was slow. I laughed in your face because 2kat and Spear were my mains before I beat the game and I could decimate mobs. I needed to take some time and get openings for bigger threats totally, but the idea that shitty fodder enemies posed a threat the entire game is so laughable.

because it's up to you to decide whether you want to have fun or not. you can play through every souls and even every DMC game using only 1 singular attack, no combos, and playing as slowly and passively as possible and still beat it. will it be fun? of course not, because you're actively trying not to have fun

every time I look it up it is referred to as either an "exclusive" or a "console exclusive" without ever clarifying which one it is, plus the 'only on playstation' logo was removed before release
I'm not playing sides here, I own both a ps4 and a gaming pc, I'd just rather avoid shelling out 60€ for an inferior version if there's a better one in the works

>>381498971
I played it for four and a half hours. I beat the vampire lady in the cave and said "okay this isn't really fun."
I bought it and returned it in the same day.

It's great, it just got quickly overshadowed.

BotW/Switch and Nier came out the month after it did, then Persona 5 in April, and then E3 dominated this past month.

>>381498994
He's not wrong. At no point in any Megaman game are you told to do a buster only run. But its fun as hell when you do

I enjoyed it, but put it down relatively fast and can't bring myself to pick it up again. Combat is excellent, but everything else is mediocre to bad.

I really loved Nioh, it got boring due to a severe lack of Enemy variety. But the game itself was unique and interesting to me.

>>381487380
I enjoyed it. The areas are all somewhat mazelike and samey, same with the enemies, but it's salvaged by the combat. The bosses are great for the most part and the art design is pretty good. The side quests however are garbage.

Yeah right, and them get out of stamina and have the boss stab you to death.

toughness and parry determine your overall block power

also pay more attention to damage reduction attributes, there is a reason why todo clan + heavy armor is op

Damage reduction is huge. Just compare your damage against Red meme vs Tatenashi revenants.

>Yeah right, and them get out of stamina and have the boss stab you to death.
Get more toughness and use weapons with higher parry stat. Also, don't block full combos. If you get hit, block the next hit and then dodge out of the combo.

Here's a tip lil nigga
Block one hit and roll away
I don't even know how you get out of stamina by blocking with heavy armor on.

Is the newer weapon type Strength based? If so I'd love to switch over from Axe.

>>381501171
you think making a Nioh 2 would get in the way of DOA games? you're delusional, they can coexist just fine. your waifu simulator will be just fine

its strength based

>>381502329
Probably, that's what I used when I farmed them before sloth was "nerfed". I think I used devigorate at one point as well.

DOA is only there for me to get more material for the actually good girls from the actually good action game series. THAT could be in jeopardy thanks to the SoulsShit, even if it's in the form of streamlining to appeal to the new audience. They have tried before and it blew up in their faces but expecting vidya companies to learn from past mistakes is living in fairytale land.

>>381502334
Do you have 99 stam + Todo, Tatenashi and Genbu (or Blue dragon)?
Use weapons with wind and weaken melee weapons (can also add Devigorate for added hilarity, but it's sort of an overkill)
Use onmyo talismans like protection, rejuvenation, steel, extraction talisman+auto-recovery on amrita absorption and the quickchange ninja scroll.
Also, mobs in the dlc have jacked damage and defence in general, but with the things listed above you should be fine

>>381502958

You dont even have to worry about blocking with proper stats, just facetank and spam your most damaging combo

more accurately
There was never going to be a new NG in development ever again. but now at the very least there's a chance of it happening

if anything people should love Nioh for giving Team Ninja "another shot" essentially. you think DOA game sales were going to fund your NG game?

No, it's not bad. In fact, I think it develops the soulsborne mechanics in a good way. It's just that the rest of it is uninspired and forgettable, as well as shoving some unnecessary and poorly implemented rpg systems and loot.

>>381487380

The game does a lot to seperate itself from the souls series which I would credit its success to. it's not just Samurai Souls, its fully its own thing

>Fully action combat fit with combos instead of the slow weighty souls combat
>Segregated levels instead of the metroidvania faux open world.
>Diablo style loot system instead of hand placed drops decorating the map and rewarding players for exploring.
>Closed off pvp instead of world invasions.
>Difficulty settings instead of NG+

The biggest weakness for Nioh comes from the miniscule amount of enemies. Some people claim level design was bad. but it wasn't. It was just that they had only so many enemies to work with that level design felt bad as a side effect. YES. ITS ANOTHER ROOM WHERE TOTALLY HIDDEN ARCHERS START SHOOTING AT YOU

>>381509157
You are so delusional it's not even funny. It's success is literally based on the fact that it is a Souls clone AND it sold it's soul (XDDDD) to be as much of a Souls Cline as it could. Go watch footage of the alpha if you were not here to play it.

All that you mentioned is secondary, the way you approach enemeis and traverse levels is exactly the same, and they can even be played the same.

>>381509907
I don't dispute that it has origins as a souls clone but I think it does enough to carve out its own niche in what is a fairly new genre of game. Compare it to something like Lords of the Fallen for example which floundered in all regards.

The point is that it should be in the same fucking "genre" or strive to be a Souls Clone, it's doing it for the sales alone. In the Alpha the movement and the way you approached fights was different, there was a lot more emphasis on blocking, stance switching and ki pulse, then the Souls shitters came in and flooded the feedback with "y cunt i crab walg bak n foth wen lok on!?!?".

There's no discussion because all the discussion is on /vg/. THis board is on fucking life support, half the threads are dedicated shitposting.

because in Diablo you're just boosting like one or 2 stats while in Dark Souls people have specific builds in mind that they're tailoring themselves towards, and it sucks if you don't find the right equipment to take advantage of it. I love Diablo but the one aspect of the randomized loot that really sucks is the tomes, since if you're playing a sorcerer you absolutely have to rely on tome drops, whereas the warrior can pretty much club his way through with whatever.

In context of Nioh? It means there is no reason to explore the map because that drop you see way over there is the middle of two Oni and a Ninja isn't anything special. its just another RNG weapon. Where as in other Souls and Souls-Like titles. Items on the map can be unique weapon and armor.
