Bombadilillo: Feb 28, 2009; The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

FF15 never gets impossible, the worst it gets is tedious. When you buy 99 phoenix downs and your group gauge charges while you use them. So even if everyone in the party gets wiped in a single hit, you can just revive them and by the time your done you can unleash a group attack. (Overwhelm works well here) of course you could theoretically run out of items, and it doesn't work on certain end game dungeons. but for the game and hunts it just makes it boring as a punishment.

Can you literally just change it back to normal for that fight? Like if so, that means there's nothing stopping you from doing a ton of content in easy mode and post game content and get over leveled and kill the final boss in normal mode?

Play on normal. If you are going for trophies, the amount of side stuff you will do with have you overleveled and stomping the main game in literally no time. This is a game where you have to really try to stay properly challenged.

I usually never tell someone to play on a difficulty, but drat, this game is easy if you like to explore the tiniest bit.

Does party mode save progress for both people? The downfall of souls coop was having to do areas multiple times for each player.

YES! That's something I love. If you do it souls style and just summon a phantom then only the host gets credit, but if you do the "yokai realm with a companion" (everything has bad translations) then you both get full progress and rewards. Its great. You can also bring each other back to life if you die!

If you want to just play Nioh with a friend, that's definitely the way to go. You don't have to stop and re-summon each other ever; you stay in a party. Even if you fail the mission, you stay together, and start over as a party together right away. No soapstones!

The change is since that makes things so much easier, you have to do the level in a single go. No saving at shrines/bonfires. But shrines do give you bonuses, and refill your party meter. (see the Nioh thread for more details https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3773772)

I had no idea, this literally just sold the game for me.

Warning: if you die too much in the true co-op mode (completely drain the party bar, bar is shared between players) it counts as a failure for both people and makes you restart the whole mission. So it's not an easy mode

How long is a "mission" equivalent to a Dark Soul Boss to Boss?

Think of it as... the entirety of Darkroot Garden and Basin, more or less?
Basically, not small. Someone who knows what they're doing can easily bumrush the boss location though, and there are 4 or so "bonfires" in the area, so around that big.

This makes me less excited, that's a long rear end session to commit to. Im sure there will be plenty of regular Souls summoning people to help me if I need it. Really glad about multiple options though.

With how customizable the rest of the experience is, it doesnt seem like involuntary invasions really fit in.

Dark Souls you lose community hints or lifebar by not opening yourself to danger.

In DS2 people were encouraged to think of human form health as having bonus health. If Nioh drops PvP invasions in later with a bonus for becoming vulnerable I imagine it would go off better presentation wise then DS2s health shrinking mechanic.

Its really not that long. I think he's kinda overstating it. Its more like just Garden up to Sif, although I guess Basin was really short anyways.

The level in the last beta was basically like Garden. The last beta was basically No Man's Warf and Forest of Fallen Giants, slightly smaller than FoFG even.

Its a good long run but its not insanely long or anything, since you don't really have to stop or back-track. Its a fast shot through where you're both killing and rezzing each other so you never stop. And if you do fail, you just start right over at the beginning

Plus if you fail, you keep all the loot you got, plus you keep 25% of the XP you earned. You don't lose everything in that mode when you wipe, but there's no bloodstains.

Cool. Am I understanding that you get infinite tries to get to your bloodstain. But once you get it you can lose it again immediately?

The trick is don't care about your backlog and only buy games once they reach 50% off or more.

Unless it's a game with multiplayer and/or you're gonna jump into it right now.

I still have the Witcher 3 and mgsv on my backlog but I paid less than half price for them. And I bought re7 but I'm very supportive of that series and I already played it for a hour yesterday in VR. And it'll be a decent game I can put half a hour in every night for a while and I'll eventually finish it. Then I got gravity rush 2 digital code discounted from a goon and that'll be my daily play.

In summary who the gently caress cares, play whatever you feel like and have fun. K know there's several of us that bought more than 5 games thanks to holiday sales and we're still playing Bf1 and tf2 the most.

Honestly I think of it as getting more choices not creating a bigger backlog.

Your system is objectively dumb and bad because you haven't played Witcher 3 yet. Glad you jumped in cheap to NOT play GOTY 2016 (Blood and Wine). Money well spent?

I just got Witcher 3 a few weeks ago when it plus both expansions went on sale for $25, and it's my favorite RPG since Baldur's Gate 2. I'm trying to spread it out playing only a couple hours here and there because I know that once I'm done with it I'll probably have to wait another 17 years for a game I like as much. It's odd because I didn't like Witcher 1 and 2 much at all, didn't even bother finishing them.

Witcher 2 feels like a tech demo for Wither 3 at this point. And 1 was just old school PC. Blood and Wine is the best video game, do everything else before that because it makes the main game hard to go back to.

Nioh offering 1080p/60 makes me actually want a pro for the first time. If every game hits 1080p/60 Ill eventually upgrade. Worth noting the PS4 regular running 720p/60 is pretty pathetic.

RE7 is definitely just a rental at this point

Mankind Divided before it, I expect it to be dirt cheap used in 2 weeks. MD dropped to like $15 really quick.

This is such an amazing time for games releases that games without replayability are being comfortably discarded.

Res Evil 7
Nioh
Mass Effect
Horizon Zero Dawn
Neir
(also Breath of the Wild but that's neither here nor there)

All in the next 2 months. And holy poo poo, only RE7 out of that list is a short game. Its a bonified Golden Age Gentlegoons.

It took me about 50 minutes to download that beta the other day. It's pretty fun! I spent 40 minutes dueling this one dude over and over, just poking around and feeling out the game mechanics and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, the matchmaking for Domination (4v4 control point mode) is broken right now so I started up Yakuza 0.

On a scale from Mash A to Dark Souls, hows the combat?

Bombadilillo: Feb 28, 2009; The dock really fucks a case or nerfing it.

For honor is good. I can tell its deep enough that anybody who wants to scratch the dark souls PvP itch is probably better served here.

I don't care for mobas but the main mode seems to be very along those lines. The 2 vs 2 seems to 99% who gets the first kill because 2 vs 1 is just impossible unless they are low health.

I like pve more then PvP so I think Nioh is where I will be spending my time. But this is very good for PvP.

Mostly I guess I'm surprised its not lovely. I don't know if I want to grind to get new characters. Cause all the missions for money are to play the game mode that doesnt loving work. Ill check back tomorrow and see if I can.

If you were interested in this game at all its worth a serious look.

It would be neat if it had an actual proper story campaign that set you up against increasingly difficult AI in the various game modes to the backdrop of a story. That way it would be its own standalone thing that also introduces you to the game's gameplay in a focused but more organic fashion. I'd be surprised if they bothered to put in that effort though.

From what I played so far. The AI is WAY harder then players. Everybodies probably getting their legs. But the AI murders me and I hold my own PvP.

Man, I do not loving understand For Honor.

I get that I'm supposed to block where the indicator says. Ok, no problem. So I do that a bit and then a viking does his throw move where he runs me back on his shoulder and throws me on the ground and then it's game over. I just don't understand. Either they don't explain poo poo on how to play, or their game is just a "pick the one beast character, hope for best..."

It's frustrating because at it's core this could be something good. Instead it just makes me mad to have some fuckstick beat up on me helplessly.

The bash and throw, Viking its the rush. its what you use to guard break someone who is just guarding. So that's the effective counter to you blocking.

Soft Shell Crab posted:

Why did For Honor beta download 8 gig patch after the beta has ended? Also the game is fun but it's combat system needs some work. Rewards too much passive play after you get stuff like parries and counter guard breaks down.

The 1 on 1 duels were fine, with depth and what seems like the ability to learn new strategies.

The game modes make to sense. 2 on 2 is determined by who gets the first kill because 2 on 1 is near impossible. And the Moba mode which I couldn't get working until I got bored seems worse. It will be 100% about who coordinates where to go better because outnumbering the opponent is almost an autowin.. I have no interest in that.
