i feel like every single half-baked complaint about dark souls was essentially their GDD for this game this might be the first game in my life i take a pass on because it's too difficult. i guess this is what getting old means alternatively, dual swords are loving hot trash poo poo garbage and i'm just being overly punished for taking a massive handicap, but

Lakbay posted:What's the best way to use dual katanas? They seem to have the exact same problems as daggers in dark souls because they don't stagger too well and the speed pales in comparison to the dps of the other, slower weapons 1. get a buddy, this is the best and easiest thing to do, dual swords just aren't great at handling threats up front 2. if you hate putzing around with perfect ki-pulsing, dont use these weapons, Flux is massively important for damage on these more than any of the others 3. reforge an element on there 3a. invest in magic so you can have EVEN MORE element 4. invest in smoke bombs if you're feeling saucy? they currently completely negate aggro and leave enemies functionally stunned, so you can go up and blend them with water slashes or w/e 5. get all of the ki regen passives for guarding 6. use light armor, stay below 60% burden or whatever that number is for maximum agility 7. you know how your critical attacks suck? follow them up with iai strikes, the timing is such that almost every single enemy will wakeup straight into it after you execute a critical 8. just use more iai strikes in general, they're unblockable and while fairly punishable, you often get thrown past the enemy far enough to revert back to guarding e: 9. general gameplay tip: if you gently caress up and get hit, don't mash dodge, hold down the block button. you cannot dodge out of hitstun, but you can block out of it some hot tips i have stumbled upon in my equally futile quest to play only dual swords and feeling the same problems. like, unfortunately, dual swords are pretty rear end if you just want a grab-and-go weapon. they require a fuckload of setup for everything and a whole lot of unfun micromanagement. pick a different weapon.

like okay here we go, i've been using dual swords since i started the demo earlier in the week, have used nothing else, i have no samurai points invested anywhere else i've been trying to kill tachibana for literal days, never getting further than roughly 50% with the odd 10% here or there before succumbing. i switched to longsword and won in two attempts despite knowing nothing about the weapon combos and having no auxiliary skills invested, active/passive/otherwise. jfc

J.A.B.C. posted:Onryo gets hit hard with this. He will grab a ball and turn to face the visitor, and then the ball will launch violently out of his back to wreck your poo poo with full, hateful force. It was hilarious the first time but drat does it get annoying. He does that entirely without there needing to be a coop member along with you. It's real dumb.

Phantasium posted:I haven't tried any co-op stuff and I've never seen him do that. Rolled up to do a recording of it and the demo hardcrashed  Believe me, with something like DS that let you bounce around really fast, if you ever actually get behind him the thing just shoots backwards out of his hand. I was complaining about it earlier in the thread. It has happened on 100% of my fights with onryo

Hopefully it won't be bugged and I can redeem them properly. I got the bat helmet from the beta demo but the oni mask that came from the first boss didn't apply to my account properly.

The whole "multiple characters" thing is a farce, you play as William and can unlock body transformation magic to "play as "different" characters".

Aloofa posted:Sorry if this has been asked a few times but I'm wondering how easy it is to play co op. I typically play Souls style games completely co op. Is there a limit to how often you can summon? I was only able to finish the tutorial level and fight my way a bit on the first level. I didn't see any options to summon yet. Can't coop unless your partner has already beaten the level. It's bad.

Harrow posted:Or don't do that and just be like who the gently caress cares if someone decides they want to blaze through the game on easy mode with their buddy who already beat the game. My issue is that this right here is essentially the only form of coop, which really detracts from the experience. I want somebody to struggle WITH, not for somebody to eliminate all challenge entirely.

Internet Kraken posted:So how is the magic in this game compared to the Souls series? That's one thing I've been curious to see if they did right. Magic in Souls has always been pretty lacking. I haven't watched anyone that's actually used the omnyo magic though. If souls was "pretty lacking" for you, then you may as well consider the magic in this game to not exist at all.

If you ever need elixirs and are mad you can't buy any, just dump all of your elixir into storage, load up a level (in a region you have more kodama in obviously), himorogi fragment out, repeat process infinitely until capped out.

How to remove 100% of the challenge of this game. Step 1: Get a guardian spirit with an A- or higher in Gauge Rate and a B or higher in Recovery.  Step 2: Extraction Talismans.  Welcome to Nioh: Super Easy Mode. Additionally, stat points in Spirit improve all aspects of Living Weapon, and there is an Onmyo passive you can take to extend it even further. If you feel like really throwing the fishing net out, you can slot the 100 amrita soulstones on your hotbar to pump up living weapon/maintain the duration.
