PC Edition skin deep thoughts
Been playing it for like 3 hours
Port is barebones but is decently optimized and plays wonderfully
I'm enjoying the gameplay but the KI system is still making me iffy since the lock on hack and slash closely reminds me of Souls so I forget about it.
I like that the particles indicate when you have to prompt the right bumper but many times theres just too much shit going on for you to notice their pattern so too many times you have to look at the KI bar which can zone you out of combat for precious seconds.
I understand the concept but the execution is leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion, maybe a more blatant visual cue like William having a blue aura for a couple seconds would fix this.
Otherwise the combat is really enjoyable and the system really stops you from just spamming attacks.
Not too fond of the bloat usually found on other Koei games, seriously the forge system is a really mixed bag and you gather so much shit sometimes that disposing of them one by one is a chore.
I can't put my finger on the loot, its not bad but its not good either, it gives me meaningful shit but only after giving me 100 items that are worst than what I already have.
Map system surprised me but it makes sense since this is mission based, It simply wasn't expecting it to have side missions.
Unlocking skills/combos is fine.
Consumable shortcut system is great for a gamepad and the consumable themselves have great variety.
Killing shit feels great from the executions to the dismemberement.
Still don't understand how does the Yokai Ki system works besides the obvious AoE circle that can be cancelled with KI gain and Salt.
It goes extremely slowly once they get hit or attack, but sometimes a single attack from me will completely deplete their Ki and incapacitate/make them stunnable.
Maybe its one of the 1000 passive abilities I have?
Didn't look like it though
Game looks passable visually though some vistas look really good like the burning village giving you an awesome glimpse of what you're about to get into but it really feels like an outdated engine, the one they use for most of their Musou and licensed games, static objects everywhere, enemies and William himself walk like they have no weight to them, some really iffy physics.
Overall its pretty fun, but some shit really bothers me, it might get better once I get the hang of it better, the influence from Dark Souls is extremely obvious, from the intro to the consumable variation tjough.

Yokai have weak spots that completely deplete their ki if you hit them in it. Like the horns on the ogres.
Also the ki pulse system works better once you get more used to it, but it's awkward at first
6f9e21 No.13760514
>>13760464
yeah, the ki pulse is actually what made the combat so satisfying for me
47abb7 No.13760543
>>13760464
Ah, I see
So the hornless ones don't have that weak point and thats why hitting them in the head didn't deplete their Ki right?
>Also the ki pulse system works better once you get more used to it
Yeah, the issue is when I trade weapons from the one I use the most since I'm more used to doing Ki pulse via the rhythm of the combos than actually looking at the cues/Ki bar.
>>13760514
It pretty much stops you from spamming attacks and forces you to approach combat more carefully.

> the KI system
It takes a while to get the timing for the ki system. It helps when you actually have some weapon skills that take advantage of pulsing.
>Still don't understand how does the Yokai Ki system works besides the obvious AoE circle that can be cancelled with KI gain and Salt.
Youkai ki is less stamina and more mana. When they have any amount of ki they effectively have infinite ki. But they have to spend ki to do certain special attacks and their ki doesnt regenerate unless they summon a underworld portal, or walk into one that's already summoned.
>It goes extremely slowly once they get hit or attack, but sometimes a single attack from me will completely deplete their Ki and incapacitate/make them stunnable.
Certain yoikai have weak spots that can completely break their ki. The most obvious are the oni. Strong attacks break their horns and put them down for the count for several seconds. The amrita eye on the back of wheelmonks are another example. You just have to observe different enemies to see what put's them down the easiest.
Ninjutsu is great at depleting ki.
>Odachi best weapon class
Yes they are. Consider pairing them with axes.

yeah, there's an easy ranged set in the game. You can either huck shurikens constantly or shoot people with a rifle/hand cannon, bows are useless.

Spear is fun i am really liking the game so far outside of how clunky it feels to change stance in the middle of fight, i would gladly rebind stances to d-pad and use active items the way you currently change stances. I hate the fact that i cant no longer play this kind of games for longer periods of time without getting my eyes drying and feeling like shit though, i just hope that the gear progression and stat bloating dont trivialize the difficulty as it's been a long ass time since i actually enjoyed a game.

You should use them. It's basically the best spell in the game and the most versatile one too. It changes with whatever GS you have equipped in the primary slot. Some of the attacks can really save you bacon in a pinch or be used to soften up big guys for a pummeling.
Shark bro inflicts saturated Pill which lowers defense so that might help you with.
Also always try out new spirits once you get them to see how you like them or what they can do. And don't be afraid to equip a particular spirit to deal with specific situations.

Dual Swords are for speed and DPS. They have some cool moves, and counter, but I never delved into them much. Single swords are more fun with their parries and iai/night rain skills.
Kusarigama are easy mode. They hit fast even in high stance, and in low stance can hit horns on most Yokai's head with light attacks.

They're the option of "I'm a dumbass and don't want to use a rifle or cannon for muh aesthetics", and while you supposedly move slower using a rifle, outside of players you won't encounter that issue, and against players you should be using the handcannon to juggle them to death if they're not using an armor build

The Tornado move with Dual Swords is the best technique in the game in the sense that is one of the safest techniques to spam and it causes good damage (esp Ki damage) and always break Oni horns. It can also be cheesed to cause a bloatload of damage with the right builds (Kato, +Skill Damage armor set, +Skill Damage perk, +High Attack Damage etc) and one shot bosses with the correct talismans and stuff. Though Kusarigama has a more damaging technique, it isn't nowhere near as safe as the Dual Swords one so that is just a speedrun thing.
If you want to play the game properly though, Dual Swords isn't that hot. I found that Katana and Spears are the most fun weapons to play "properly" though both are tricky and a little difficult to play against Yokai since the counters from the first and the stuns and knockdowns from the second don't work on them.

Nigga, some of the bows have great bonuses. Rashido keeps you from being as slow as a turtle if you get hit debuffed by lightning. Plus they are a reliable source of good first hits, I'm never going to run out of arrows to hit yokai in the head during a mission.

I haven't played PvP, but why would anyone play it without the Yata mirror?
dab3bf No.13763308

Because yata mirror is sub-optimal compared to a pure armor build. It also requires that you parry correctly and the netcode… isn't really built for that.
You know what else you'll basically never run out of and does more damage while dealing comprable ki damage? A fucking rifle or Shurikens. Also that's a horrible mod for any weapon, that's directly hurting your dps for something that can be replaced by a lightningstop talisman

>that's directly hurting your dps
My build isn't all that optimal to begin with, but it is enough for me to get through way of the nioh without that much trouble. For me the bow does its job of dropping yokai and humans in missions and lets me go in with my tonfa's for a final blow that does decent damage.

Irish guy, yeah. You have to play as him until you unlock the Hidden Teahouse through the story.
At the Hidden Teahouse you can purchase skins of various NPC characters, though they unlock as you play through the story. You also need an absurdly high amount of Glory (something like 70 000 for the cheapest?) to purchase the skins, especially the female skins. Glory can be gotten from beating revenants (AI-controlled players that died in various areas of the game), from playing online or from clan wars which happen automatically after you join a clan.
Revenants in NG+ (on the higher difficulties) generally drop way more glory than they do in the first run through.
When you equip a skin, you keep all your abilities and weapons, but take on the appearance and outfits of the NPC the skin belongs to. The cosmetic change ONLY applies to gameplay. William is still William in cutscenes.

Shitter-kun, you must learn to master or at least utilize all the stances if you want to be good at this game. You also get a faster dodge animation with better i-frames in low form (and conversely, high stance has the worst dodge). The reason you "hate" the stance is because they are all situational. Low stance is good for defense, mid stance is OK all around but best at taking on multiple enemies because you get the most wide attacks in your moveset, and high stance is for when you have the tough bastards right where you want them.

I think we've found your problem.
Tatenashi is godlike with an Odachi but you probably don't have access to that unless you've been religiously farming revenants and may be not even then.
You've got to put some levels into strength and stamina if you're going to wear heavy armor. Early in the game it might be easier to wear medium armor and use your heavy weapon as a secondary weapon until you can bear it.
When ever you get a chance get yourself a good set of axe armor since that works pretty well with Odachi. Before that you could combine a medium armor with a warrior monk's hood.
Also consider that you can use certain GS attacks to put enemies on their ass, especially human enemies.
5cdfab No.13766067
>>13765995
Because any weapon's moveset has more moves available than there are available commands to execute them. Also the random loot is more Diablo 2 than Diablo 3, sure getting more damage and armor is nice, but getting set bonuses and modifiers that actually complement your current build/playstyle will go much farther. Hell that's why the familiarity system is there, so you don't feel constantly pressured to swap out for the latest drops immediately when you already have good equipment with good modifiers. And besides, later on you can straight up level old equipment to your current level, and transfer modifiers.

Guardian Spirit. You can use a Gurdian Spirit talisman or a Moment talisman to do their summon attack without being in living weapon mode. The green hawk or the little blue dragon both knock humans down really well.

I said nothing about ranged attacks, its not worth mentioning. What gives you the idea that I had a hard time with this boss? What I'm getting at is that it wasn't fun. That's what I'm getting at. It was not an enjoyable boss to fight, it was poorly designed to be as unfun as possible.

You really can't make it any more obvious that you're missing a lot on how to play the game. Baiting his attacks or timing yours before he attacks is a simple enjoyable matter. You only mentioned using drop attacks on the segments and nothing else about moving around the area or using them on the main head. I brought up ranged attacks because they're another option that work well for depleting his Ki that you overlooked. If you actually played the game to it's fullest then you might have actually enjoyed the boss rather than blamed your shortsightedness on it and boldly claiming to understand the design when you ignored half the game around it.

More like had a populist ideology and free market policies with a and a belief that title/wealth does not instantly entitle you to power/prestige/respect and instead must be earned through hard work, ingenuity, and how one treats others (Nobunaga fails in that regard).

You just have to learn when to stop attacking and to keep your distance. She runs fast but her attacks are slow and leave wide openings if you're watching.

How is the Kusarigama? I immediately picked that as my first weapon because of how unique it seemed, but I'm wondering if I might be making the game harder for myself.

ce32f7 No.13772330

I like it, it's good for a fast-paced and aggressive playstyle, but it doesn't do much damage when compared with heavier weapons. I typically use the low stance, it's more than enough to deal decent damage to regular foes and it can give you the maneuverability to avoid most incoming attacks. Use it in combination with a more powerful weapon, like a heavy axe or odachi.
08b3f5 No.13772404
>>13772330
I'm not so good with the "in combination" thing. I can handle switching stances, but I usually try to find some way to use my current weapon for every situation I can. If I were to switch to a heavy weapon I wouldn't really know when to switch back because they can work just as well.
Anyway, what I've mainly been doing is using one of the pull attacks to get a human enemy from range, then following up with the swings. For the bosses (especially the winged chick) I use low stance to dodge and then high stance power attacks (throw the weight) to attack from range while they are busy comboing the air. It's a hell of a lot of stance switching and I feel like any other weapon would probably have some easier way of doing it.

Man that centipede boss was kinda boring, the boss itself isn't that hard but having to stop every 1 or so minutes to activate the machine to get rid of the poison felt like a cheap way of making the fight lengthier
On the other hand the Umi-Bozu fight was fun has fuck, the arena was big enough and the whole fire beacons to put your sword on fire was neat, hopefully there's more bosses with his kind of mechanics.
Also I have been using less and less my secondary weapon and mostly sticking to the Odachi the damage it's so good and the stance change combos are pretty nice

Kusarigama is bad at bait and punish. The range makes it extremely good at zoning and forcing an opening, but it's too slow on the wind up to effectively punish an enemy attack. Also it's basically incapable of guard breaking.
Currently I'm pairing it with an Odachi. That's the only thing I found effective against the lightning samurai dude (side mission version, first island), especially since he auto-guards everything after the first hit.

I used a spear for that in power stance
all his shit was easy to dodge but the Kusarigama just couldnt do the damage needed

His sheathed slash was damn near impossible to dodge reliably. Sometimes he would do it as soon as he was in range, sometimes he would just keep running until he was practically behind you before slashing, and the slash itself is too fast to react to.

I just kept distance waiting for him to do a chain attack and then whacking him a couple times

With the Odachi pommel strike I was able to break his Ki bar in 2 punishes, then knockdown/finisher for damage, which kept the fight short enough that even with his random bullshit instakill dash I was able to catch a lucky break and kill him

Dodge into it, the i-frames will do what they do and then you've got an opening to attack. Dodging into it is the most reliable way I had of beating him.

You can't iframe an ability with random timings

It's not random. It adjusts to the distance you are from him.

That's what I thought at first, but it doesn't have anything to do with it. Sometimes he goes past you, sometimes he doesn't even come to you at all, completely random with no basis on anything you do.

Well that water boss was easy, just used a bunch of fire shit at him

In Dark Souls, you can use save and quit to spawn outside a bossroom. I've got a big pile of souls in the bossroom, is there an easy trick like that in Nioh or am I gonna have to blow a homeward bone?

It's extremely good at that actually. I don't know how you can say it's slow when looking at stuff like high/low stance quick and mid/low stance strong, the latter of which work very well for clearing distance. High stance quick works well for guard breaking because of the sheer number of hits it puts out in such a short space of time, even if it's a bit less than some weapons, plus it also has effective skills for it.

I don't think the anon knows what hes talking about, that or he doesn't know that high stance is meant to break blocks.

Well, it technically is weaker at guard breaking compared to the other weapons which along with a low parry stat are meant to be it's downsides, but weaker just doesn't add up to actually being weak though and the stat difference is negligible. You can always put Parry Disabled and/or Pierce Guard on it too, it makes great use of both of those effects.

Its got heavy hitting low ki chain attacks that can destroy guards tho plus you can zone and play it safe without swapping weapons.

Yep, it has enough for guard breaking and you don't even need to when you can bait them to lower their guard with your long reach. It's just such a powerful weapon in a game full of powerful weapons.

You can just heavy attack most mobs to death if you really want without putting yourself in danger since the range is so long.
