I am sad that pressing back no longer makes you turn around when locked on and that being a spammy dummy no longer punishes you as hard but I guess those are the sacrifices for some more mass market appeal.

The new lock-on is good and the beta is amazing. And thank god for getting rid of durability. That kind of constant micromanaging has no place in a proper action game

blocking heavy attacks costs a lot more stamina now. like the first boss's ball spin will eat your entire gauge

Weird detail about the beta: The game is account specific when you download it. However, when you download it on another account it just.... Sort overwrites the rights for the 2nd account without actually downloading the files. This also works when using accounts from different regions. This was handy because Australia got the beta before EUR

I see it on the US PSN store but its not downloadable. Guess it needs a bit of time still? Its on the other regional stores though.

Oh holy poo poo. So in the alpha demo there were 2-4 item shortcut slots. Now there are 8. Great improvement.

Does it screw you If you rid of the first demo for the Mark? Meaning it doesn't save your completion of it.

Hey so everyone's favorite low stance evade ki pulse is gone, but guess where it went? That's right: High stance can now Ki Pulse by evading. Which is great because ki management in high stance is hard.

With my experience with Koei Tecmo translations, it's probably looking for the Japanese version of the mark.

How does the ki pulse thing work again?

Fuligin posted:How does the ki pulse thing work again? you see part of your stamina bar turn red as you're doing a combo, and it gets longer and longer as you combo. As you finish, the bar will start filling backwards. Pressing R1 will return to you the stamina that has back-filled at the time you press it. So if you wait longer you get more stamina back, but you have to time it right because if you wait too long you get nothing. You can also swap stances while doing it by pressing R1 + face button, and some skills will return bonus stamina if you do so.

Except it's better to not look at your stamina bar and instead look at the ring of blue energy around your guy. When it turns into a ring, thats when you hit the button to ki pulse. I havent played a lot of the beta yet, but it feels like they've made the window a lot more forgiving.

Well now the game hands out skill points like candy, so it's even less important than before. I'm playing around with the dual swords since they're new. They are pretty good. They scale off of skill, rather than heart, like the single sword.

is there a way to know if the beta is recognizing mark of the conqueror? i got it in my psn purchase history but the game doesn't know about it as far as i can tell.

How are guns? I'm thinking about going spears but leveling Skill for good gun damage is tempting. I did really enjoy the bow last time.

Dual swords are crazy good but I'm also rusty as all hell. Water sword or whatever it's called is the poo poo.

Harrow posted:How are guns? I'm thinking about going spears but leveling Skill for good gun damage is tempting. I did really enjoy the bow last time. Well like I said, skill is also the main stat for dual swords, so if it's what guns use, it would be a good stat to try 2 new weapons at once. I'm really conflicted on the control schemes. All of melee feels better with type A, having stance on R1 feels really smooth and L1 as block is natural. The problem is that with the attack buttons on the thumb, ranged weapons are now garbage. I also really like L2 to be ranged. Also it took me a second to figure it out, but the only differences between control types A/B and C/D are that A/B use the touchpad for the menu and the options button for gestures, and C/D swap them.

Doing a pixel perfect ki pulse just as your gauge stops being red removes the negative color yokai areas. Did it do that in the last test? Another reason to master the ki pulse now

Does anyone else feel like the ki pulse window is huge now? Square>square>triangle>r1 and stance switching feels so good. So much cleaner than r1>r1>r2>l1 And also circle+triangle for living weapon is way better than circle+r2.

Living Weapon feels stronger than before. Maybe I didn't use it enough, but it absolutely tore apart the first few oni and those guys gave me a lot of trouble in the Alpha. Overall though I feel like the combat is less fluid. I can't quite put my finger on why, but melee combat feels... jerkier, maybe? I dunno.
