This game is sweet, I finished all three levels but I did replay the first one to help get me at little closer to level 25 before trying the twilight level. 90% of my deaths were from me pressing O to dodge then getting smacked in the face when nothing happened.

Campbell posted:Also it seems like the skills that tie Dodge to Ki Pulse are pretty mandatory - for some reason I interpreted those skills as basically adding a key press into that chain (like attack, attack, ki-pulse, dodge) instead of (attack, attack, dodge=ki-pulse). That way you get rid of an extraneous button for something you're doing anyway. This seemed to make high stance just that much better than everything else. Just doing a single strong attack with high stance then dodging away from the larger monsters seemed to work really well. Single swords just seemed the easiest compared to everything else. They have a fast animation, better range that I was expecting and solid damage. I played around with spears a little bit they seem fun, trading some damage for extra range. I really want to see what kinda of combos you can pull of with the spear. I cleared the first mission at level 11 with an axe, it destroyed trash mobs using high stance and did a pretty good job on the boss. The second boss's speed punished the slow swing speed of the axe and it gave me some trouble till I switched weapons.

Harrow posted:I think there's a control scheme you can choose that puts your light and strong attacks on R1/R2, if you don't feel like adjusting. Yes is very nice if only it switched X and O so I properly dodge.

What are you guys going with for prestige bonuses? I have a few and haven't decided yet. Part of me says % bonus are very good end game, other part of me says more loot is good. Also spears in low stance are kind of hilarious, I won a 1v6 by just running around and doing sweeping attacks.

There are lots of combos that are going to essentially one shot you if you eat the whole thing but with some points in body you should be able to to survive 2-3 hits of various combos. On a different note spears almost feel like cheating.

I feel like between living weapon and replenishable magics if you get a boss to 30% you can just blow your magical spirit wad to finish them. The whole game revolves around getting the ki pulse mechanic. It really punishes you for running out of ki. The game feels kind of deceptive because it gives you all these cool combos that you want to use but most of time you really shouldn't unless really good at using ki pulses and stance dancing. Weapon range feels important in this than the Souls games when it comes to bosses. It feels similar to Bloodborne in that respect.

MMF Freeway posted:Bat girl was like lady maria level for me. Lady Maria might be the best fight From has ever done imo. I was cursing the whole time while trying to beat it. It flight more about execution than anything else. Bat girl felt more like how does this stun mechanic work combined with ok what is she telegraphing now. I spent 10 attempts on bat girl kinda of just figuring out what stance and what weapon I want to use while trying to figure her out. After that I took me another 10 to actually killer her.

Deified Data posted:Hino-Enma took me two tries, as opposed to Onryoki's half dozen Once your over 3 it really requires lots of space and a weapon with good range. My current record is 6 humans in one of the early missions, I basically ran around in the circle with a spear in low stance for a few minutes. Sweeping attacks for everyone!

The game dumps a lot of anti-paralysis stuff and ranged ammo right before her boss room so I got the hint. Onryoki just hits like a truck and a lot of his attacks were tricky to dodge. H-E's biggest weakness is that she's almost always just attacking you in a straight line.
|
So in one of the dojo training missions I spent a good 15 minutes just trying to get the parry timing down. I can parry strong openings attacks but everything else just feels like rng if I actually get it. Also the risk vs reward for a parry doesn't seem that great.

Myrddin Emrys posted:Don't get me wrong, Bloodbourne was definitely tighter controlled than the Souls games, but it still felt "off" to me. Kind of hard to describe, but like there was lag between input and action. Not a *ton* but enough to get me killed sometimes and when it's a controls-related death I get upset. But some of that was just the lovely framerate. Every game needs to copy movie mode and action mode from now on. 60fps is just wonderful.

Stat scaling is weird, it seems like their is some more advanced interaction between your various scaling stats. It souls games it is pretty much (mulitplier A * primary stat) + (mulitpler B * secondary stat) + base damage = total damage. In Nioh if your primary stat is much higher than your secondary stat adding 1 point to your second stat can net you 5 damage compared to the 1 from the primary stat.

Tokyo Sex Whale posted:I'm at the spider castle and I saw a lvl 1 revenant. I am guessing someone used a book of reincarnation then went to hit something and forgot. Items aren't level restricted so it's a great idea to go and fight revenants that are higher level than you. A level one run in this game sounds much more annoying Dark Souls.

I prefer the leave the bonfires up until phase 2 that way they kill another round of adds. It is also a very good fight for high stance.

Snak posted:I am really hitting the stride wirh parrying. It's the most satisfying parry in any game I've ever played. Most games with parry mechanic, the psrry ends up being too good and too easy. Parrging is good here, but thete are so many types of attacks, and they are all different. Some can't be parried, some can only be parried by anticipation, and some can be parried easily. I can parry high stance attacks pretty well. I am just really inconsistent about getting haze II to work. I can't tell if my timing of heavy attack is off if it has to due with pressing/releasing block. Mid stance combo that ends with a jump back slash makes setting up lai strikes pretty easy. I am pretty good about using lai strikes on everything that isn't a boss. Using it on a boss seems like a great way to get instagibbed by a combo.

Harrow posted:Haze II wants you to hit light attack, not heavy attack, so that might be part of it. You need to basically double-tap square for a successful Haze to chain into Haze II. hmm I am doing controller option 2(iirc), which has block as Square, light attack as r1 and heavy attack as r2. I am 90% sure the tool tip said r1 for the parry whiling holding square and r2 for the backstab. I wonder if the tool tip is just wrong since I changed the controller layout.

Stacking bonus damage from behind is hilarious and amazing. 22% from my sword, 12% from the ninja skill, plus the mastery from swords means I more than double damage from behind. Edit: and I am pretty sure it work with haze II. Calidus fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Mar 1, 2017 |

I picked this up, I completely forgot how Nioh likes to kick you in the teeth at the beginning of the game. I think the first level took me 2 hours. Dodge being being any other button than circle should be illegal.

Finally clicked today, I was just bad at ki management and was greedy about getting extra hits. I ripped through 3 bosses today much trouble. Getting 10 points in Dex and Magic helped. Poison is nice with Yatsu-no-Kami.

Is it just me or are ranged soul cores just better than the melee ones? The animations a number of them seem really hard to use in boss fights without taking damage.
