Nioh is okay so far. It's like a less bad Lords of the Fallen. I should not have bought it for 60 bucks but I am enjoying myself.

Verdict on nioh after 4-ish hours: Eh, it's okay. I don't really see where the praise it got in reviews is coming from, imo it's not hard in the fun way where the difficulty comes from enemy and area design. The damage between you and enemies is really imbalanced- standard enemy types are pretty easy even if they can stun lock you to death in one combo, and big enemy types and bosses are way overpowered and can kill you in two hits. There's no compromise. The combat is fun though, the multiple stance thing is a cool idea. If I can get through the spiders I'll probably finish it. I regret buying it for 60 bucks.

I played each of the public betas and they were much easier and more balanced than this. When I said this:CJacobs posted:I would say that's not the unlikeliest explanation because that was the case with Dark Souls 2 for sure. There is precedent for hard-rear end games having slightly-less-hard-rear end demos. I did not expect to be so on the money.

Lakbay posted:Most people are finding retail release way easier than the demos, myself included I'm happy for you, but boy do I disagree that that's the case. As the gap between the difficulty of the designated "easy" mobs and "hard" mobs grows the more I play, the less I like the game. edit: Either way, the real lesson here is not "don't buy a game for 60 dollars without checking it out first", the real lesson is "don't buy a game for 60 dollars ever under any circumstances" CJacobs fucked around with this message at 15:15 on Feb 8, 2017 |

There's no compromise. The combat is fun though, the multiple stance thing is a cool idea. I think there' more Ninja Gaiden in the formula than you were expecting. It also requires re-thinking how you approach combat, as Bloodborne has probably left you with some habits that don't jive here. Since there were three trial periods it's been possible for some people to practice Nioh's fighting style before being thrown into the game, which makes the learning curve a lot smoother. Your verdict reads almost exactly like someone who plays a Souls game for the first time: enemies are too hard and I die too often. Here are some things to consider if you haven't already: Your equipped weight effects your Ki recovery and how much Ki is used when blocking. If you are wearing light armor, you want to be more evasive, and if you are wearing heavy armor, you can afford to block heavy attacks without getting stunned. Use your stones to single out enemies, and use your items liberally in general. Bombs seem plentiful and once you hit the limit (10 for basic, 5 for big) you can't pick up more. Put a point or two into Onmyo and Ninjitsu (Magic and Dexterity) so you can learn some self buffs like the elemental enchantments for your weapon and power pills, then use them on anything that looks remotely challenging. Pop them before walking into yokai mist. Use your Guardian Spirit ability liberally as well; it's triangle and circle when the circle in the upper left is full. It boosts your stats and provides some invincibility, and it fills up very quickly in between difficult fights (at least in my case). If you are getting stun locked mash out your Guardian Spirit, I've been able to activate it in between the second and third - and fatal - blows from a Yokai and it's a great life saver. Try a different weapon for a while. Don't worry about not being spec'd for it because respeccing is fairly cheap. Using different weapons builds their proficiency and earns you samurai skill points that you can dump into your preferred weapon. These points also get refunded during the respec, so don't worry about making mistakes. That said, the first abilities you should learn are the ones that effect all the weapon types because they offer boosts you'll be using constantly. If managing your Ki is tripping you up, practice with smaller combos and Ki Pulsing outside of combat. If you stack two elemental debuffs on an enemy it'll create a new debuff that really fucks the enemy up. This can be done by bringing a Guardian Spirit with a different element from your Onmyo enchantment, so keep that in mind if you hit a wall. It's a lot faster than Dark Souls, maybe faster than Bloodborne. Getting in to do some damage and getting out to zone your opponent are key skills and it's easy to get carried away with a combo that leaves you without Ki to block or dodge. Even big enemies who can kill you in one hit have moves that can be exploited, it just takes patience. But hey, if you still don't like it that's fine. There's going to be lots of good games this year.

Yeah, I didn't know that you had played the demos so I'm sorry if that post sounded like I was talking down to you. You can buy the respec item at the blacksmith for 10k (the price increases with each purchase) and I'm pretty sure it'll be an item that can be found in levels, too. So go nuts with your levels. In Training posted:I'm glad Nioh already has a crowd dedicated to the GameFAQs style posting to killed thousands of people's interest in the Souls series immediately Is this directed at my post, or is there a level of "git gud, it's so easy" that's floating around elsewhere? I think the worst are people proclaiming to have the one good build and recommends everyone else play the same way. All points into Strength, high stance Axe will probably get you through the game, but so will nearly any combination of stats and skills.

Yeah I specifically tried different things in each iteration of the Nioh demos and had no problems with any playstyle. If you just want to stick to one stance and one weapon there will be skills that make it viable for you. I think the thing most people don't do often enough because of Souls habits is block. Blocking is god tier in Nioh, takes very little stamina and avoids all physical damage.

From what I've read, the game has been tuned down a bit from the alpha and beta demos, but I'll have to see for myself tonight. I still think the greater pool of options in terms of skills/stances/magic makes this more accessible than Dark Souls, at least to people starting out with this kind of game. There are actual manuals and in-game tutorials about mechanics as opposed to wondering what the gently caress a pellet that "gives beasthood boners" does.

You can also press the Options button on any equipment or status screen and get a definition of what everything means. So instead of scratching your head about what "vs Yokai realm" means, the game will tell you in clear terms that it's your resistance to having your Ki sapped when standing in a yokai's impure circle. I think Dark Souls did that too, but there's a lot more granular bonus that equipment can confer in Nioh, and there's a page in the Status tab that lists all the active bonuses from equipment and Guardian Spirits. I don't know if that also includes the bonuses gained from earning titles or the kodama blessings, but it a cool way to review and see what synergies you've got going on. I found some light armor that made evading cost less Ki and it's really shaped my playthrough so far (just beat the bat caves). It's a good game and I like talking about it. I'll be here all day.
