I adore this game and I'm gonna plunk down the cash the second I get a chance to on the PSN. Playing this game reminds me of how I felt playing Demon's Souls all the way back when it first came out and I'm really enjoying learning how it all works and putting the systems together. It's got a lot of that first-try Demon's jank to it and obviously can't be as polished as the final Dark Souls which had years of prior work built up but I think Team Ninja really has something here with this. Stamina affecting everyone is a really cool decision, I like the damage system where position and hit location matters, and the setting is such a wonderful breath of fresh air from Soulsborne's. At first I didn't really care for the loot system because I do enjoy Souls' style of unique drops placed around the world, but it scratches that Diablo/Borderlands-y coloured loot itch when you slice off a spear guy's head and like five items drop out of him. What exactly do the Kodamas do when you rescue them? I found 6/7 when going through the fishing village and can't remember for the life of me what they did.

Nioh is at Gamescom 2016! Here's their press release and a new trailer, looks like we're going to mess up some spider cave this time around.quote:Following the overwhelming success of the Alpha Demo in April—as well as the community’s generous feedback—the Nioh Beta Demo will incorporate a number of gameplay changes made with fans in mind, which will be immediately noticeable upon their return to the village of Usuki. This first stage of the demo will offer new challenges and the opportunity to once again fight for the mysterious Mark of the Conqueror DLC. Warriors who conquered Usuki and procured the DLC during the Alpha Demo won’t be left wanting, however, as they will receive a set of weapons and more starting money. These champions will also have the opportunity to play through the new Nakatsu stage without having to clear Usuki again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjwZRxPUd1g

Belzac posted:I pretty much only buy digital at this point. But SCEA is such a joke I might actually get Nioh from a gamestop or something similar and save myself 4 hours of reloading the store. If Nioh is like every other PS4 game on the PSN, it'll probably have preloading.

The PS4 Slim is apparently going to make it even easier to swap out hard drives. Allegedly there's just a little cover you can take off the side of the unit and slide the hard drive right out.

Nioh will have PS4 Pro support and will be published by Sony in North America and Europe so I'm fairly positive that rules out a PC port.

The rewards for clearing the alpha and the beta have been revealed. Another neat feature is that the game has a vanity system for its gear, so you can change your good stat gear to look like any other gear you want while keeping the stats intact!

I feel like I need some kind of little Ni-Oh play guide to get the most out of this because I see everyone talking about ki pulses and stance switches and whatnot and here I am just kind of fumbling around with a katana in middle stance and acting like its Dark Souls.

Alright I'm locked in on digital deluxe and ready to roll. I was going to just get the standard physical edition, but game prices in Canada are so messed up that it costs $91 in total after tax for a retail game but the PSN (which doesn't charge taxes) is selling the digital deluxe for $100 so I effectively got the season pass for an extra 9 dollars. Thanks PSN!

Snak posted:Does the game feel a lot easier than the demos to anyone else? I have only played up through the first main mission and the afformentioned submission, but I am kicking some serious rear end. I figure it's just the playstyle updates they did between betas or maybe just the time spent on the game during them, but I feel a lot more proficient at this too.

Yardbomb posted:Red Demon and Warrior of the West are pretty much on 9/10 revs I ever fight, I fight all of them. I just reached the fourth region and just about every Revenant I'm fighting now pays out in Red Demon. I used to get all Warrior of the West and just built up like that but I guess the game's gonna force my katana-waving rear end to change over to Red Demon at this rate. At least you guys make it sound really useful.

So is the game really meant to ramp up hard in mission level later on? I've just finished the Sekigahara Region and most of the levels were easily 10-15 levels higher than what I currently was, and it's not like I'm speedrunning I'm going out of my way to kill everything and comb every inch of the maps and do co-op too.JBP posted:Was going to say this. The last time I was surprised by a cool new enemy was in region 2 I think (the big tongue dudes). There are the birds men and the ribbon ladies, but gently caress the bird man and the ribbon lady can't fight for poo poo. My immediate reaction to the stage that had an arena with two bird men was gently caress THIS NOISE (got it in two tries)

Wow, this Sawamura castle stage is terrible. I keep getting lost, there's all these jerk-rear end spiders, and that last Kodama took me 25 minutes before I gave up and just used a YouTube guide instead. gently caress you Sawamura castle.

Oxxidation posted:It's not very stylish, but Tengu are really easy to plink to death with hit-and-run attacks. Their kick-spin combo hits really hard and has full 360° coverage, which also means they can easily be tricked into spamming it and opening themselves up for a hit or two at a time. Just have to watch out for the occasional staff-swing they chain onto the end. Yeah that's how I'm handling it. You bait out the one-two combo, get a couple hits, keep an itchy trigger finger on the guard if they do the stick follow-up. It works for most times except that awful mission where you fight two at once.

Debut footage of William in Musou Stars. He's got his own stage which looks like the Tower of London and they even worked Ki Pulse into his moveset, but it sounds like he's got a different voice actor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGgPzt7RhZU

Just finished this up, 86 deaths at around 60-ish hours? What a wonderful game, even if that final boss is a little disappointing. Definitely have to run through this on NG+ and get into this Divine stuff.

RatHat posted:Just finished the final main mission. Did anyone else find the triple clone Kelley fight harder than the actual boss? You can sort of shimmy into the room and only get one or two of them to spawn at once. I learned very early on in this game that a lot of human enemies are really easy to bait into getting close enough for Iai attacks so I just dissected them one at a time with a few Iais each.

I wish it were easier to access these Twilight Missions. All I have left to do for the Platinum is get the Blacksmith requests out of the way and get 100% mission completion, but I can apparently only do 4 at most every day and there's something like 9 missions total. Oh well, at least this gives me the chance to kill more time at Ohashi Bridge and grind Revenants for divine drops!

Forgot to mention this but the Golden Nioh Armor coincides with title update 1.04. No English language patch notes but if you want to Google Translate then here you go. From the sounds of "Fixed a problem that certain enemies sometimes continue to emit Amrita" I guess they fixed the Teahouse glitch. Here's an image of the Golden Nioh Armor too.

Deified Data posted:Okay so what's the gimmick for Orochi? I've heard enough people trash this fight to know that it won't be fun to learn. What I did was use the giant Amrita stones as cover while getting in close to the snake head and bait out the bite. You dodge it, they bite the rock, and the Amrita that comes out goes into the snake head all at once and causes them to OD on Amrita. When they OD on the Amrita, their head flops onto the ground and you can stab the crystal horn they have and do huge damage.

Attack 508, purple "change to attack (heart) A+" making it still the strongest thing I have despite being level 58. I can use soul match to bring it to level 74, which makes the attack 533, bit brings the "change to attack (heart) A-" When you rebuild the familiarity it should return to A+

I get the feeling that Nioh's plot was designed with the idea that the Japanese have a good idea of how the Warring States conflict went so they just broadstroke a ton of the events in between the cutscenes with that in mind but when it comes to foreigners we're just confused.

Yorkshire Pudding posted:By the way, most of the character models (Ieyasu, Hattori, Okatsu) are based (very accurately) on the famous Japanese actors who voice them in game. On a related note, I enjoy that Tecmo Koei has a single unified "look" for Nobunaga Oda that only slightly changes from game to game. So whether he's a demon king, a samurai warlord, an undead overlord, or a tiny cat he's got the same basic features established in Samurai Warriors.

I actually did the Meeting on the Other Shore first and found it way easier than the Nioh one, like Lady Noh just kind of trundles around firing stuff from a distance and Oda does rushdown so all you had to do was run to one end, let Nobunaga charge at you, do your sloth/carnage/nerfing stuff and whale on him and when Noh got in your face you just ran to the other end. Took me like 3 tries.

Ineffiable posted:Just made it to NG+ and played around for a few hours in it. It wasn't that hard to get the trophy, just a little bit of a pain. First thing you should do is go talk to the blacksmiths, mash X through their dialogue over and over again as you eventually get questions you can answer for free points. I think I got a dozen or so points this way. Put every point you get into increasing the rate of selling values. I then went to the small bridge submission in the 4th area and farmed revenants for divine gear, filled my entire inventory with them (if you trigger the fight or run out of revenants just run off the bridge) and then took these items back to the blacksmith to sell them. You're going to get at least a couple million out of all that, and then what you do is spend it on Books of Reincarnation. When you buy enough of them the price raises to a million a pop. It can cost roughly 20 million IIRC to get the 60 points you need for the requests.
