Not sure if this is unique to the PC version or not but this level has some fun render issues! Enemies are only visible at what is basically aggro range and the level is filled with ballistas/archers/fire bomb guys.

Seeing spider enemies and feeling it pretty bad, but at least I have a giant club with which to turn them into paste. Also, throwing knives are pretty good for picking fights from a distance.

I am disappoointed that the semi-PvP mechanic from Nioh 2 isn't back, I really liked that.

Babe Magnet posted:In a lot of ways coop may not actually be easier. Everything's got more health, and a game like this being so heavily parry focused, not having the boss attention on you at all times is probably going to be really annoying lol Yeah nah. I've been responding to recruit summons and bossing is way way WAY easier when you have multiple people stunlocking the boss and breaking their meter, not to mention all 3 people stacking/refreshing buffs. Also it doesn't seem like mobs are getting buffed at all. Diephoon fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Mar 3, 2023 |

Yeah I thought it would even out later but the bosses in this game have been pretty easy so far even without coop lol. I'm tempted to just permanently shelve the companions to try and even this out but I need that lore!! and their hats

I'm just bringing NPCs for the stages, where they don't contribute much unless you're outnumbered or fighting something scary (which I like), and sending them away for the bosses.

This game is loving awesome and a fantastic successor to Nioh 2. Wish there was a Chinese voice option though, the english voice acting is the only thing holding the game back.

That's the first thing I did in the demo, go back to the first stage right when starting the second. I think it's called "Travel"?

Yeah there is, but not only is the post-level screen immediate and mandatory, but getting back to a flag is another loading screen and then another menu. Just let me select the map lol

You can't skip the post boss cutscenes if you're helping a host and the host doesn't skip, even though the game kicks you out of the host's game after the cutscene anyway  Having a lot of fun pwning bosses with randos though.

I thought this bird in the 3rd level was really gonna gently caress me up, being 8 levels above me.

Been whining since Dark Souls 1 about games very obviously designed around a controller. Go play Mario 64 on KBM you goofballs.

mouselook being hosed is a valid complaint, but, at least for me, the core gameplay is rock solid enough that even that is only a mild irritation rather than a dealbreaker

Hel posted:Honestly I would like them to do more stuff like Wo Long, where they take the Nioh mechanics as a base and tweak, prune or add based on what sort of setting they are doing. But I also wouldn't say no to more Nioh games, Japanese setting or not. Ya I wouldn't mind it either way. As someone who loves feudal japan I am just happy we got a bunch of games in that setting. For the longest time it was just Way of the Samurai, Samurai Warriors and Total War Shogun. But in the last few years we had Nioh, Nioh 2, Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, Yakuza Ishin(remaster). We know that there is a Ghost of Tsushima sequel in the works, Team Ninja's Rise of The Ronin and Assassin Creed Japan. So there is lots of good poo poo in the works in that setting. I wish we had more games in the piracy age setting.

Steam reviews seem to be bad solely because it’s a poor port, but I’ll probably get it on PS5 so that’s irrelevant. How’s it looking gameplay-wise?

You can have it prioritize graphics or framerate, I picked framerate and it ran buttery smooth and didn't look terrible.

Yeah that’s pretty much how Nioh was too. If the combat is anything like nioh and it has good weapon options and set bonuses and stuff I’ll have fun. Hopefully it’s still upsettingly hard

How’s it looking gameplay-wise? the core gameplay loop whips rear end, parrying feels satisfying as hell, and the level design's a decent step up from nioh 2 with how everything interconnects. highly recommended if third person ARPG combat is your jam
