If you guys don't remember...




Yeah, you think FF Versus XIII/XV is old? This is even older.

Nearly forgotten about this game again.

Anyways, limited time demo will be available from April 26th to May 5th. So... yeah, this game is even more obscure than FFXV at this point.

Japanese Geralt... lol.




Honestly, I like the decision of having both 900p/60fps and 1080p/30fps option. I don't see this game coming out this year though, tbh.

You all know that you can just use custom button assignment through your PS4 right? It applies system wide, so you don't have to deal with games forcing you to use a button config you don't want to.

I don't know what's the big issue here.

To those that think Nioh is a shallow Dark Souls copy cat, think again after watching this:






This was done on beta/last chance trial. Half the gameplay elements are still locked, so imagine the possibilities in the full game.
Nioh is shaping up to be something special where the many could unfortunately just shrug off because of the surface resemblance it has to Dark Souls. But look closer and it's almost nothing like it.

Day 1 for me after the last chance trial.

Don't parry boss?

Why the F not when it's possible to do this so easily?!

And... they're wrong, just like almost every "big-time" reviewer.

Unfortunately, most people will play this game with a Bloodborne/Dark Souls mentality. By playing Nioh like that, the game is worse than any Soulsborne game. Really, aside from some items, several minor mechanics (dodging for example), Nioh is almost NOTHING like Bloodborne.

The combat mechanics are much deeper, it's also several times faster paced (unless again, you play with a Bloodborne/Dark Souls mentality), and also much more flexible.

I blame the marketing by Sony too, saying to "scratch the Souls itch". Making Nioh sound like a Dark Souls clone with a Japanese feudal setting.

My suggestion is don't go in and play this game like Bloodborne. Otherwise like many have experienced, it's just boring and frustrating. USE the combos, quick switch weapons, cancel animations, quick parry and riposte. Ninja Gaiden vets, you all know what I'm talking about. Play it with the mentality of a slower NG game, not the other way around.

Wow seriously...? There's a video just above your post and you still ask the same question?

There's never been a Team Ninja game where you won't die repeatedly until you learn how the mechanics work.

Weapon upgrades, armor upgrades, stats buff... they're all there to help you make fights more manageable (easier or not is subjective). But it will not give you the ability to snow ball everything, you can only do that with your own skill.

You will die even more than you did in Bloodborne. I'm sure of it. I mentioned it in the previous page, you go into this game with a Bloodborne mentality and it'll kick your ass really, really hard.

If you think that is stressful, then this game isn't for you.

Pick up Yakuza 0 then. Best stress reliever in recent years.

If it makes you all feel better, the DLCs from the demos are pretty worthless overall.

Those who are on US PSN, check your weekly update newsletter from Sony. If you have 20% discount code, Nioh is on sale now on the store for $40.19. Put that discount code in and it's only $32. Insane value.

Check your weight percentage.

Below 30% = A (Blue)
Between 31% to 70% = B (Green)
Above 70% = C (Yellow)

Weight affects Ki consumption, rate of regen, how far you can dodge from side/backwards. You can however always dash no matter your weight and your swing speed is always affixed to the weapon type you are using.

Picking up this game again after 140 hours in Persona 5. Feels good to be back. Now, please drop the damn DLC already! Gaarrghh!

Grinding doesn't do anything. You get more amrita, you get to increase some stats... but that's it. What makes your character is the equipment build, not the stats. Stats won't save you from much, not a boss at least.

You either summon a visitor to help, keep trying, or fight remnants in hope of getting some better EQ. EQ makes all the difference in this game.

Breaking a controller for this game? Really? I wonder what you'd have done if this was NGB instead.

Get the standard edition, buy the season pass on sale when all 3 DLCs content are released.

At this point, I don't really like where the direction of the game is going. I like the main game, really do. But with the latest Masamune DLC, all TN has done was add 3 missions, 1 difficulty, a "new" weapon which isn't even new at all since it basically just rips off the moves from the spear and axe, then also nerfing almost every thing under the sun. Oh and PVP is unplayable at the moment.

So... yeah, get the main game which would tie you near 40-50 hours of gameplay. See if you want more after that and then decide.

Living weapon gauge replenish with amrita. You blindly hentam boss then of course it doesn't replenish la, no amrita also.

If you want to hentam boss and have amrita while doing so, then use a Extraction talisman before you fight.

Some bosses/enemies have weak spots, example Onryoki - its horns. So when you destroy his horns, of course got amrita la.

Ogress horns aren't her weak spot also....
