Yeah that's fair, bosses can be more miss than hit in that one.

Sucks about the entire mission reset. That happens if you leave too right? That seems to be the downside of the mission structure compared to having an open world.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy that nioh is doing its own thing. But the stuff it does differently shows you the upsides or downsides of that compared to dark souls. Even nioh has its own flaws, like how you get so much more junk than dark souls but at the same time random stats means better weapon flexibility and builds.

Still would buy nioh 2 on day one.

I get junk all day in dark souls. Its way WAY worse in dark souls. 95% of the items don't fit my narrow DS build so they are out, if something is good its way underleveled and there is limited level up items so I have to waste finite resources on it. You are better served in Dark Souls by saying "I like straight swords" and googling what straight sword is best to use, because there is an answer. loot is not fun in Dark Souls. A purple drop in Nioh is exciting and able to be used right away.

On top of all that. The junk loot in Nioh is very valuable for leveling, leveling your items, or leveling your items another way, or money.

Respeccing in Nioh is also cheap as gently caress.


Edit:
You can still quit the game mid level and not lose progress, by the way.

Same goes for Suspend Mode.

You have to actively destroy your progress and quit the level on your own.

Free from more then one side mission, first one you buy is pocket change. Pretty hard to make a broken build in Nioh anyway. The stats all cross over to other things. You only have to respect if you want to change main weapon, you cant break your character. (im sure you could if you really tried.)

Spirit Only.

I bet there is a weapon that only scales with spirit and your Living Weapon lasts the whole level at that point.

I'm just past the Vampire, but I like it so far. The only thing I dislike was the fist boss, the Vampire Chick was okay, if a bit fast.

To stream to PC and then use a nonstandard controller? Basically I wanna use a Steam Controller with my PS4, and this seems like a simple alternative to shelling out $150 for a XIM4.

You could still get armor that scales with spirit. and that levels magic at 1/3 of magic so you would have some magic skills despite yourself. Probably the easiest purposeful gimp though.

It doesn't give you Skillpoints as far as I can remember, does it?

Have you looked into other Brands? I remember Hama made some poo poo ones, but there must be decent ones for a non ripoff price.

I haven't touched magic and have like 20 points, might be all the hair I ate though. I just noticed it going up as I raise my pokemon trainer level.

There are others that are still more than :10bux:, but more importantly I'd prefer a XIM or something like this because I'd have the flexibility of being able to play with a Mouse and KB if I wanted to, as well, and if I were to use a Mouse + KB there wouldn't be any mouse acceleration and wonky feel to it like with the Hori Tac Pro and stuff like that.

I could also then just plug in a driving wheel or flightstick (which I already have) and manually bind it and use it in games, if I wanted to.

You can't exit a mission part way, but if you're in a mission and you go to the menu and select exit to title, it saves your progress, exactly like it does in dark souls.

I think. I only ever do it at shrines, so it might not save your exact progress.

I see, that makes more sense. Theres the branch that makes you lose carried xp to warp out, that's all I know I could use when I forget to ammo up.

Ahhh... looked into them, seems there's one by iOGear called the Keymander, but apparently the game support is garbage on most of the knockoffs? I feel like if I have to go the outside peripheral route, I'll just go XIM4 since it has a large userbase and a lot of support on the devside such that they're fine tuning profiles for every game within a few days of them coming out... I remember getting a janky PS3 mouse+kb which was great initially but then after like 6 months the devside support start really lagging behind games, and then another 6 months after that they basically discontinued all software support, there was a PS3 OS Update that broke the peripheral, and there was no way to get it working again and it turned into a fancy paperweight.

There's an even better item that lets you out without losing anything, I think.

But really? why do you care about ammo so much? Yeah it's a bit annoying to not have any, but hardly a big deal. I guess I only use it to shoot snipers before they can harass me.

Yeah, but you can also just hit them. Or you can throw a rock at them. You can break yokai horns with rocks.

True. I guess I've gotten pretty good at nailing the horn or eye at distance, then closing for the "kill". Plus you can interrupt that cool chimera boss from anywhere in the arena

I think I'm going to start renting games, there are a bunch of ps4 titles from the past year that I really want to play but I don't want to pay money for becuase i'll either be bored of them in a week (Battlefield 1, For Honor, The Divison, UFC2) or will sail through and finish promptly or play once and forget about (Dishonored 2, The Last Guardian, Far Cry Primal). Anyone have any experience with Boomerang Rentals in the UK? £11.99 for 1 game at a time/unlimited per month sounds pretty good.

You should pretty much use the webstore for everything related to purchasing and downloading on your PS systems.

For example: If you have PS+ and you navigate the store on your PS4, you find the free PS4 games every month. However, if you have PS+ and you navigate it via the webstore, you will find the free PS4, PS3, and PSVita games every month.

Am I missing something, or is the (Nioh) Tachibana Muneshige optional boss insanely difficult?

Owl Inspector
Sep 14, 2011

I was cruising through the game and that was a sudden brick wall. It's pretty ridiculous and felt like he was cheating nonstop--constantly attacking with 0 ki, not getting prepped for a final blow even when he got hit at 0 ki, etc. It also revealed a lot of inconsistent bullshit with staggering, because apparently loving no one is capable of coding a game like this where staggering will actually make sense, so he'll go from getting staggered by 3 low stance light attacks in a row to suddenly shrugging off a mid stance heavy attack.

Was really enjoying the game before that point.

I'm aware of that, and I know it won't raise the existing framerate cap of older games, either. But games like Until Dawn could desperately use a hand in maintaining their target framerate.

There is another optional boss in the next area that is much, much easier to deal with. Trial by fire! He teaches you (or at least I learned) to not be greedy and only attack when it is safe and you have punished your opponent for overextending

I probably should have done that. Instead I bashed my face against that wall until I beat him.

That boss feels like it requires you to play perfectly, because if you gently caress up at the wrong time you're just dead, immediately. If it dealt significantly less damage and had significantly less health it'd be really fun, though.

It's optional for a reason. It is really punishing, but it's to prepare you for what fighting human bosses is like, compared to yokai bosses. If you can't beat him, no problem. If you learn how to beat him, later human bosses won't be nearly as bad.
