Are you ready to collect dainty little Nippon tea sets?
Let's get this started right.

>video of someone stunlocking Nobunaga 100 to 0 just by bonking him with high stance Spear over and over
Funny story, a faggot friend of mine used to get mad at the human bosses so he'd keep spamming knockdown spear attacks and then ground attack them to cheese them. Nobonaga comes in with his near unlimited Yokai form, meaning he can't be knocked down unless you work for it with dodging and combos and deplete his stamina. He ragequit then.

While I'm sure it's fine for Nioh to reference Ninja Gaiden occasionally. It would probably be for the best of both games if Nioh's stayed Nioh, and for Ninja Gaiden was Ninja Gaiden.
Why go though the effort of making Ninja Gaiden style assets for Nioh, and spoil the surprise of Ninja Gaiden's hopefully Triumphant return? If Team Ninja Still carries that same Spirit that Itagaki originally had when bringing NG to 3D, They're focus should be on trying to announce NG4 with an even Bigger Bang then Devil May Cry 5's announcement had.
which is going to be a big challenge, but Ninja Gaiden 4 isn't going to be an impressive game if it isn't trying to Blow DMC5 out of the water, with how great it is.
Devil May Cry is the only series that has ever rivaled Ninja Gaiden, and the battle between the two for the thrown of Best Action game is the only thing I think is what will bring the best out of both series, since DMC5 wasn't bad, but it had no real opponent when it released, it was the best action game since no other True Action games even existed in the same time frame, DMC5 did the minimum of what it needed to do mechanically to be a good sequel to DMC4, it's a good game, but not an outstandingly impressive one in my eyes, I want NG4 to make DMC5 look like shit, so DMC6 can be even better since competition is the only way we can get Great games again. GoW 2016's developers didn't want to compete with DMC5, the director was sucking DMC5's dick.

I don't know if Hayashi has that kind of spirit in him, not anymore at least. The guy probably wants to just lay back and have his hand making other series reach an elevated state of action rather than trying to make the next NG, especially after having a major part in Nioh along with Shibusawa and Koinuma of all people, he just wants to make fun shit. The ebst we can wish for is someone who was an understudy of his, just like he was an understudy of Rockstar Oatmeal hmself.
I mean, the dude's last game was Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and he wants to make fun relaxing titles like that for a while, he doesn't have Shibusawa's boner for constantly challenging video game ideas.

That is honestly the best course of action at this point, even if it means they only port the games that use their "Ninja Gaiden Engine / Hybrid Engine" and not NG Black and vanilla NG2 due to Microfags being shits.

I'm currently playing the first one
Any tips that I should be aware of, I'm running light armor and using a spear/dual swords with a rifle for ranged combat
I'm using the spear for enemies I don't want to get super close to and the dual sword because combos are cool, the light armor so I have high agility to dodge and regain ki faster
Is there any strat for fighting the titty yokai with wings in the bat cave, second level, also how do I get more cups to summon people?

You will respec tons of times as you progress through the playthroughs, dont hesitate to experiment and see what fits you best. You'll want to look at the passives in the skill trees, a lot of them are universal passives even though they are in a certain weapon's tree.

>>16874127
>titty
avoid her paralysis move like the plague. When fighting yokai my go-to strategy is to lightstance dodge and deplete their stamina, then switching to high stance for big damage while they're down. With titty this works, but keep in mind she has a grab attack that usually instant-kills you, or heals her a lot as her recovery out of stamina.

It's not even Marvel, the only reason MUA3 even exists is because Nintendo bought the license when it expired because no one wanted it and Activision wasn't sure about keeping it hostage or not. So, unless Ninty decides to port it to PC, it's on the Switch only there isn't any good emu for the switch, is there?
Though I have the horrible, sneaking suspicion that if the Avengers "game" succeeds, Marvel will try to buyout MUA from Nintendo as well just to have the monopoly and that is a teirrifying thought. And of course do nothing with it because Activision and Raven isn't allowed to do anything beyond horribly shitty COD DLCs.

Don't overextend, hit her a few times when she leaves herself open but then back off wait for another opening.
Other than that, the typical shit you should be doing in a souls game; learning the boss' attack patterns and cues.
>also how do I get more cups to summon people?
You're given them as a reward for helping other players in co-op and revenants drop them when killed, if you're not currently on a mission then you could replay an earlier level in the game and farm noob revenants for ochoko cups.
But if either of those options sounds too tedious for you then try vid related.

I actually managed to cheese that boss a different way, by using the dual hatchet skill to keep an enemy in one place, get an easy headshot, finisher, repeat as necessary. Even worked on their LW. Felt like the skill got nerfed in the last chance demo however since enemies could wiggle out quickly compared to the beta.

Fair enough, they have sown the seeds to remake the universe now with NG3 either way, what with Irene being Irene and even fucking Robert for a cameo, setting the next game up to be NG1 from the NES.
If not they could make the next NG game be the adaptation of the OVA and have Irene, RObert and Jeffrey back along with Ryu killing cyberninjas and cybercultists instead of just monsters.

Don't bother with KTAmerica, they've been faggots since day 1 and they are now revealed to be in bed with Resetera. And they tried to hold sway over some unofficial Koei forums. KT Europe is your best ebst on the western front since people there are more respectful and some of their former community managers actually made changes in the company the european branch that is an email straight to JP's customer service or whatever would be even better, showing how much PC players worldwide would like the games on the platform.

Pump up your paralysis resistance and also learn the paralysis medicine jutsu. Also make sure to DODGE.
Be pre pared to get away from her when she get ready to do a grapple because that atack cant be blocked and does a tone of damage.
If you want to wreck her learn kunai, thrown blade technique, shuriken shooter from the ninjutsu tech tree and also the rules of thrusting from the spear tech tree and hit her while she's in the air.

I misses this part. Kusarigama is your friend for farming revenants. The shore of the first level is your best place to farm revenants right now but once you get to the next region the bridge sub mission is probably the best revenant farming location in the entire game, or at it least it was back when I played the game.

so I noticed stances and I sorta get the gist of them, high for powerful attacks but low combo and lots of ki cost, mid for more balanced ki cost and combos, low for lots of combo but low damage
Does it matter which stance I block with or do they all cost the same to block, I'm not sure but I think sometimes when I blocked with low I lost less ki, maybe it's for certain weapons or I'm just imagining it.

Single sword is focused around counters,parries and punishes to keep yourself behind the enemy to maximize damage. On your first playthrough it doesn't matter what weapon you choose, you can beat the game without much trouble.
Also don't forget to get at least 20 points of Dexterity and Magic.
As for armor, the difference between the different tiers of armor is one or two extra hits before dying which becomes maybe one extra hit when wearing the heaviest armor vs wearing light armor on NG+ and beyond. Don't rely on tanking at all, you need to be able to dodge or block all attacks.
As for the stances, High stance attacks do not bounce on blocks and do increased Ki damage, it has the slowest dodge and highest stamina and block cost. Mid Stance attacks are more well rounded and you have a proper dodge with it, it also reduces the stamina required to block a hit. Low stance has the fastest attacks and the fastest dodge, you can chain the dodge as much as you want and do cool shit like chain dodging enemy projectiles and move towards them.

>Like why poison pills when I can just use antidotes?
They're the same thing. The poison pills renew automatically when you go to a shrine and also if you use a shinobi box or use the 2 piece Iga set bonus and are affected by unlimited ninjutsu enchantments on armor. Antidotes are consumable and drawn from stocks. Both are good to keep on hand though since sometimes you'll want to use your atunment points fro something different.
>I tried the weapon, it seems to be a multi-tool weapon? Like a swiss army knife of weapons
Kusarigama is great for dealing with humans that aren't Muneshige. You do need to learn some of the skills to make it useful though. Reaper, blade spin, leg sweep, and serpent strike are the key skills. The combo chain of serpent strike > leg sweep > ki pulse > deathblow destroys non elite level humans, including revenants.
>but it seems to do less damage overall like a sword would do more slice damage and a hammer would do more blunt

>Idk if this is like Souls games when describing armor but I'm not using cloth/robes but the 1 out of 3 weights in armor menu.
What's ultimately most important is getting your toughness stat up to the critical threshold.
Light armor is good for dodging and it you plan on not getting hit. You do NOT want to try to trade blows if you are wearing light armor. Heavy armor will take a while for you to be able to wear it properly. At the start medium armor is probably your best bet as general advice.
Fyi. my two favorite heavy armor sets are the Kaido armor and the Tatenashi set. There's also a heavy armor dual katana set which is an interesting turn.

Actually, I was wrong about the co-op part, it's been awhile since I last played the game so my memory got some things mixed up.
You can get ochoko cups as a reward for completing certain missions though.

>What kind of samurai are you going to create?
Get that samurai pussyshit “muh honor” out of here, we going Omnyo Ninja. Put all the points into dexterity and magic, and probably heart too so you don’t die in one hit.
>Which weapons will you use?
The least amount used possible, focusing on only killing with Ninjutsu/Omnyo, because it’s fun
>What sort of builds will you be running?
I don’t know the armor sets of the new game or if there are new Omnyo/Ninjustsu items in general, but it was fun to just spam the elemental shots and bombs at the enemy, so I’ll probably just switch between an Omnyo set and a Ninjutsu set depending on my whim. I’ll also probably have my guardian spirit be Suzaku again, because I can’t tell you how many times the auto-revive saved my ass.
>Which youkai form will you choose?
Phantom sounds like it was made for Omnyo/Ninjustsu, so probably that.
>What do you hope to see in the game?
I hope above all else that they actually make the story more comprehensive this time. Most of the time I had no clue what I was doing, why I was doing, or who these people around William are besides “Kelley stole your waifu, go kill him and take her back”. Also really glad their adding lots of different enemies, but I wish they would ditch the random loot/equipment system and go for a “every equipment is unique and not just the same one but moderately different dropped 1000 times” . The Soul’s concept of unique equipment and upgrading them as opposed to Niohs forging the same equipment over and over until you get exactly what you want from it pretty much. Also wish they would nerf Omnyo/Ninjustsu a bit or make the game harder than the first one. I love playing with the Omnyo Ninja build, but it trivialized a lot of the game.
>>16873924
While 2 is definitely an improvement, it’s not such a drastic improvement that it would ruin the experience of 1, even if it was played after 2. I myself just finished the main story of 1 and plan to go back and do the dlc for it as well as other extra stuff like the abyss after I play 2. 1 is still definitely a good and solid game in its own right and would even argue it does one part better of having an actual main character and motivations instead of a stupid make-your-waifu character creator blank slate. And 2 is a prequel so it would technically work to play 2 then 1, not that there was much easily discernible story in Nioh 1 to begin with.

Just hoping it is as fun as Nioh1. Never expected Nioh2 anyway given how much of a complete experience 1 was. But I do hope they ease up on the RNG a bit, 1 had Diablo 2 tiers of loot rng and it drove me fucking nuts due to the reforging shit. It's why I gave up, collected some purples, dressed how I wanted and just skill'd my way through.

You have no idea about the grind if you didn't even get to divine gear, let alone ethereals. You could pretty much go through the whole of NG just picking up random gear on the ground or from revenants. There was literally no reason to reforge or sometimes even soul match until you got into at least NG+. I seriously hope they don't cut back on these systems because people like you played through 1 time and don't like them.

I could handle as much and when they introduced it in one of the trailers it was almost a dealbreaker to me. Never liked that kind since I'm far more a japanese ARPG guy, with Tales, Ys etc. Never was big on Diablo, MMOs and loot.
I got into the rejuvanated Nioh because of the names attached to the project and how masterful the stance combat was, not so much for the RPG side of it.

Granted there were a few variations on some of the weapons like the gun tonfas but I'm perfectly fine with they way Nioh handles it's equipment.

I enjoyed Nioh when I played, even when I wasnt good, was playing on keyboard+mouse, and raged many times. Almost 200 hours, and almost finished second difficulty, while doing some of the third. Barely Abyss, tough.
Too bad I will only (possibly) buy Nioh 2 when is on PC. I hope Nioh 2 has cool scenes, a better plot, and top tier soundtrack; Besides the gameplay, that I hope its less grindy, and have better equipment and its management gameplay.

What was your issue with the plot of 1? I see this mentioned a lot and never really know what specifically people don't like. I actually really liked it. Was it just that you don't like that it was a western protag? I like that the big bad guys were Dee and Kelley. It is cool to see them portrayed in vidya even if it is so incredibly removed from reality. I think a lot of the scenes were really well done. They made good use of silence in a lot of the meetings and whatnot. Some of them actually remind me a bit of the cutscenes in Yakuza 0 with how they use silence to set a tone of tension.
Vid related. Can't find it with eng subs.

Not him, but I had a lot of issues with the plot of 1 as well. Mostly it was I had no clue what was going on a lot of the time or who a lot of the characters were besides William and Kelley, like I had no clue who Leyasu and Mitsunari were besides just two people who were warring, let alone all their subordinates who I couldn’t remember or keep track of, and that a lot of the story was relegated to story bits in the menu. The story was just very forgettable for me, and just boiled down to “go to Nippon and rescue your waifu from the evil alchemist guy”. I’m sure if I paid better attention and actually bothered to read the Amrita memories, I would understand and enjoy it more, but as it was, I was focused on the gameplay and it was interrupted by I story that I had no clue what was going on. Like it felt that a lot of the story was just there to set up boss fights.

Problem with Nioh's story is memorizing all the names, clans, histories, & figureheads can get overwhelming very fast for someone not in the know on Japanese history. Then there's the fact that mission context is only told through textboxes & some missions only get closure from textboxes in the same way. Like the very last DLC mission. It just ends with William saying "Well that happened. So me & Hanzo went to an island somewhere to do a thing." then the game's just over.

UPDATE
I'm getting a hang of the game better now, bought one of those books from the blacksmith and relocated my levels to focus on Strength, Stamina, Magic, and Spirit with a little bit in Body and Heart. I went from low armor to heavy armor while wielding an Axe so I'm now one tanky boi who hits real hard, the game has become much easier since someone helped me beat the 3rd level, it was sorta like a maze with traps in it.
I was wrong about magic, that shit hits hard against humans and yokai, slap a few elemental talismans in my shortcuts and everything just dies, and leveling spirit makes my living weapon even more powerful and slightly boosts my magic too.
I unlocked the next area but don't want to start until I beat the lighting bastard you 1v1 on a small hill, that fucker is crazy, stuns your ass with a dog and his moves go through your block, I just got to get better at my dodge timing.

You can make a short, petit girl with a flat chest that looks like she's in her mid teens. So at least as "loli" as Asuka.
The character creator is really quite good you and you can make multiple character saves and swap them around between missions. Which reminds me people need to start posting their character creation codes.

Fuck this shit. Making games with bloated sizes only makes people pirate games (specially repacks), just to not have to dealt with this shit.; Because at least you can stop torrents, and once you have it, you can install it. Having more space used for having both the game installer, and the installation in you drive, is a relatively minor problem, compared to depending on Steam and your shit net.

Game's pretty fun.
>inb4 jewtube
it's my own channel you can relax.
If somebody wants a review from a souls fan, here's my thoughts:
Pros:
-They added a parry feature with pretty tight timing. Do it early, you take damage and get half a parry, do it late, get nothing. It also consumes "mana".
-you can collect and use enemy souls, like in castlevania. You can also burn them to soul match weapons to their level, burn them to power up same monster souls, or equip them just for the passive bonuses. This includes boss souls.
-there's now two new types of weapons, yokai and purified weapons. The first have a bar that fills up, going into an awakened state where you do more damage. Awakening the weapon a number of times will have the weapon speak to you about its backstory. Purified weapons are defensive weapons that kill yokai's ki and allow you to recover your blocking ki with a ki blast.
-bosses don't feel either cheap or piss weak. There's no more way to cheap them out, and thus, there's no reason for the bosses to get increasingly cheap. You can parry all of them on certain attacks, and exploring the stage will sometimes improves your odds at the fight.
-scampuss and sudama now exist
Sidegrades:
-Playing co-op is HARD. Single player is basically endless mode. Die, respawn, try again. Co-op has 10 or so cumulative deaths of either party member, and then it's game over, start the mission again.
-the yokai transformation is ten times as in depth as living weapon used to be. You can have one of three kinds, and they specialize in different things. Problem is, it lasts anywhere from 5 seconds to 10.
-more variation in enemy tipe. Can be a little overwhelming.
Cons:
-Not a fan of how some characters look. The game had a certain style, and now it kinda lost it.
-They removed earth and wind elements entirely, only making a nod at their existence in some enemy entries in the bestiary.
-The game is sometimes particularly brutal, in a cheap sort of way. Expect ambushes, a lot of them. Most enemies will have archers covering them. Or traps. Or boulders killing them and you at the same time.
-there's little point in using your spirit attack in yokai form. The transformation is short, and that makes it shorter, doing negligible damage most times. They're also outclassed from yokai soul cores attacks.
I'm at the second region of the game so take those as you wish.

It's not "nefed" but some attacks, particularly giant enemies have multiple stages to their burst attacks. I didn't start at 1.01 so I don't know how it was then, but currently.
If you counter burst too soon, nothing happens. The problem is, the "too soon" part still deals damage to you if you didn't burst.
And then the attack keeps going, which can also be countered.
So, the timing window for giant attacks is silly in my opinion.

It's not more difficult but it can be more frustrating. Gaki everywhere is one of the big problems. They replace many of the situation where they would have placed dwellers in the first game. The difference being is that a dweller might ambush you if you carelessly walk past a door or a cave incautiously but a gaki will ambush you from a doorway from across the fucking street and they move sanic fast.

If you like Masamune ass pull his way out of every fight, you'll love it. That said, season 1 has the always entertaining Norio Wakamoto as Nobunaga and Nouhime plays a role that I'd say is even better than in the games.
>>16881489
Shame they didn't make characters more over the top like Danzo, Matsunaga and Imagawa. They're sticking with some pretentious serious business historical reenactment story but then everyone is flashing their Pokemons at you and then you get goofy shit like Hide's pet scampuss sleeping on Nobunaga's sandals while Hideyoshi does some historically accurate creeping on Oichi.
Anyway, been playing non-stop for the last three days and just cleared Anegawa. Been playing slowly, doing every side mission before advancing to the next main one. The main missions are mostly manageable but the side ones are where we really get our shit pushed in. Is it normal to be like 15 levels over the recommended level and still get destroyed? When I play the Souls games I tend to place certain level caps on myself and it does the trick; I know this works on different rules but just seems weird. Also, I'm boosting numbers everywhere (gear, cores etc) and it doesn't feel like it's making any difference.
Side note, it's nice of KT to let people without PS+ still benefit from clans and set benevolent graves.
Got a few questions while I'm at it…
1 - how to absorb Amrita while in Shift mode?
2 - are tea utensils regular loot? I can't tell when I get them.
3 - tradition demands I make a UNGA build but I don't have any idea of what weapon complements the axe better besides the odachi but that's gonna feel redundant and I'm already using the spear with my onmyo character. Any suggestions?

I'll amend that. It looks like there are some good armors but every one of their smithing texts are random drops instead of a few of them being mission rewards. I't less than ideal.
>>16882508
>Is it normal to be like 15 levels over the recommended level and still get destroyed?
What kind of armor are you wearing? Light, medium or heavy? And what is your stamina and your toughness? I guess also what weapon are you using?
>When I play the Souls games I tend to place certain level caps on myself and it does the trick
Don't do that in Nioh. Especially Nioh 2. In fact some stats like magic and dex only really shine when you pump a bunch of levels into them and and if you plan on using heavy armor sets then you're going to dump a lot of levels into stamina and maybe toughness as well.
>1 - how to absorb Amrita while in Shift mode?
I think that's an intentional game design to prevent "infinite" shift strats.
>2 - are tea utensils regular loot? I can't tell when I get them.
I'm not sure yet. I've only just got the tea house unlocked. I think they are but they're sort of rare unless you have bonuses to make them drop more frequently. I can't wait until I can get the Swallowtail set back, it increases tea set drops this time.
>3 - tradition demands I make a UNGA build but I don't have any idea of what weapon complements the axe better besides the odachi but that's gonna feel redundant and I'm already using the spear with my onmyo character. Any suggestions?
I 'like kusarigama because both it and axes have self buff "weapon sheathed" skills. You can swap briefly over to kusa to buff up and then back to axe and do a second buff and then go to town. It's also is a fast ranged weapon that's good with dealing with humans and little skeletons with leg sweep.
Alternately you could go with double hatchets since they have even more range than kusa and work thematically with big axes. They're fast as dual swords at melee range too.

>armor type
Light. Shrine maiden set. I'm using glaive/spear so the stats I'm investing the most are CON and MAG, both around Lv21-22 atm. I'm starting to put points into skill since it helps the build and I might pick 2kat as a tertiary weapon. The others are around the 8-9 mark.
>Don't
Just seems odd because the game clearly indicates the recommended level for a mission. I just don't like feeling like I'm power leveling through the game.
>infinite shift strats
It's just that I've seem some claim that amrita has to be absorbed manually now instead of doing it automatically like LW. No clue, I don't use shift and the tutorial made no mention of that.
>kusarigama
I'm using it along with tonfa (this is main) for a ninja build. But I might try the hatchets, they were fun in the open beta.
Side note, do cutscenes (besides that one) and dialogues differ in any way according to the character's gender? I ask because everything from the MC's expressions to how other characters react seem tailored to a female character like Hanbei's Pokemon looking like he's putting the moves on you or grimy Aquaman when you go into the hot spring.
And just cashed in my first Glory reward since I'm using the same weapon and spirit.

That's what I figured. That's how I play Nioh most of the time too. The thing to remember is that in light armor you're glass cannon. You can't tank blows and you absolutely cannot trade. You don't even really want to block unless you really have to. Dodging and running are your best bet. And try to get your toughness up that way you won't loose as muck ki on block and you won't flinch as much when you get hit.
>I just don't like feeling like I'm power leveling through the game.
You're not. Nioh loves to throw multiple monsters on you at once and often in close quarters. Plus you'll need to level stats to be able to activate later armors and also the bonus abilities of later guardian spirits. If it's any thing like the first game then your level will match up to around the recommended level once you reach the end stage of the game anyway.

>You're not
When I'm getting one-shot by most enemies or gangbanged in sub missions it certainly doesn't feel that way but I gotta say my victory in Odani castle felt very hollow. Beat Nagamasa first try but it was rather clumsy play and the miko+mermaid HP bonuses help a lot. Really good fight btw, reminds me a lot of the Angelo Credo fight from DMC4.
That said, the recommended level is around 48 but the last loot is Lv70 which is the level I'm sitting at.
On the subject of the tea utensils, I was a little more attentive and noticed the drop from a common soldier. The text is a faded grey with no icons before it. Also wondering if the bonuses are worth it because they do rake a good chunk of Glory.
And another quick question - how do you pull a Shift grapple without actually triggering the Shift? I've done it a few times but having figured out how. Seems to be a split second thing where you grapple right at the end of a successful counter before the character changes back to lowly ningen.

No toughness isn't an intrinsic stat, it's affected solely by the armor and accessories you're wearing. Heavier armor gives you more toughness but you can find and reforge light armor to have toughness bonuses too.
In the first game what a lot of people used to raise their toughness was the warrior monks' hood which gave you +40% toughness. I don't know if it exists in Nioh 2 and if it has the same bonus but I've been looking for it.

I guess you could challenge yourself to only beat human bosses via parrying skills. That might make victories feel more earned.
>On the subject of the tea utensils, I was a little more attentive and noticed the drop from a common soldier. The text is a faded grey with no icons before it. Also wondering if the bonuses are worth it because they do rake a good chunk of Glory.
I think the bonuses are because they can increase luck which makes framing for rare drops including smithing texts and skills much easier. Although even Danjo himself said that you should sell/donate any tea equipment that you can part with since it's so lucrative.

by performing a finishing move during the time you're a yokai while being in parry. This is hard to achieve since most enemies have a "being downed" animation that lasts longer than your parry. Your best bet is to break a yokai's horn, then lower his ki, THEN successfully parry and you best hope he's in range to be hit cause you cannot move while you parry

Snake boss is my favorite too. Set that thing off the leash in a closed space and it darts around about 4 times. Feels like the closest to a "fuck you" button the player can use.
I've got it together with nure-onna and Shirohebi spirit for a snek themed set but I don't like Brute type, besides not working with the build aesthetic the counter requires both very quick reflexes and good positioning.
Enenra is also good but you need a full anima bar for it to shine.
Speaking of the nure-onna, they got a very common graphical glitch that removes most of their hair. I thought it was a alternate model at first.
Side note, gotta give credit to KT for letting the player make use of the hidden teahouse right off the bat if you start any subsequent characters. All these little QoL options are one of my favorite things about the game and I wish more devs would put the same amount of thought into these minute things. Dunno if I like the fact that Glory and Allegiance is shared between save slots but I can understand the reason and Otani works for both.
I don't know if the first game was like this but I've noticed they're putting a lot of other "notables" as created characters, dunno if I'm a fan of the idea since they certainly look less, well, notable.

Jojo has always been the case of anon's feeling special because they had a series they could make in jokes about and all the plebian weebs who were still mired in Dragon Ball and Naruto, maybe watching G Gundam on Toonami would scratch their head in bewilderment as these people made references to stuff like duwang and Heritage for the Future. Then, when Jojo finally got an anime, these same plebians, who either now finally got the joke or were not around to hear the initial inside jokes, started making the same jokes all the anons were making eight years earlier, except that (in typical normalfag fashion) they beat the dead horse into the ground by turning Jojo into the next Hetalia. A fanbase that became so cancerous that even the other obsessive fandoms found them to be obnoxious and unpleasant. Meanwhile, the people who had originally been making these jokes and had originally liked Jojo, were forced to disown it, because it had been tainted by reddit and tumblr.
at least, that is my understanding of the situation.
To summarize, Jojo used to be an alright series with enough non-sequitur moments humorous enough out of context to warrant a few memes coming out of it and obscure enough to satisfy the innate hipsterism of the early /a/utists In the west, at least. In Japan Jojo is mainstream as fuck because its been running so long, just like Dr. Who. But as soon as the anime lowered the barrier of entry (the unwashed mass of plebs no longer had to undergo the rite of passage that was reading Stardust crusaders via atrocious yellowed, coffee stained pages with all the text in Comic Sans.) it went to shit because a zeitgeist formed around it and proceeded to ride it until it died.

The patch readjusted the recommended mission levels and now instead of being about 20 levels over, I'm just 1 or 2 above with my onmyo and mostly underleveled with my ninja.
With my Onmyo I've decided to stop using Sloth because that thing is too good (in the beta effects like Slot and Paralysis seemed to be one-time effects but not anymore) and also found out a really neat combo - mid Switch glaive attack x2 > R1+Triangle > Namahage core attack - the transition goes really smooth and looks cool to boot.
Speaking of ninja and maybe it's the quarantine talking but I did something surprisingly unusual - Yoshimoto was beating my ass like a drum but I was bit by bit understanding the move set so I unequipped elixirs to try and beat him without healing and eventually succeeded with flying colors and got the respective no damage title. The game changer was getting a burst counter that depleted his ki and put a special ailment on him that I've never seen before which left him exhausted through most of the fight. I take it the burst counter is responsible?

For me the hardest thing about her is that some of her attacks look like she's just moving around so it's really easy to be caught off guard.
Looking at the enemy stats, the one I die to the most are the skeletons. That said, I can see all the salt longneck and Namahage harvested when the Nioh 1 DLCs came out is not without justification.

What the hell is going on?! Specifically, what's with the multiple Scampusses.
Anyway, quelled that monk rebellion. Fight with Gary Oldman (or Alan Rickman? I can't tell which Saika reminds me the most of) is pretty fun but then Spidermoo just wrecked me uphill both ways in the snow. I figured there might be a couple of smart ways to engage it like get it to ram against walls or use the high ground but I took the stupid route and did like some big monster DaS boss with no lock-on running around and hitting the legs, much to my surprise it goes down fast that way, once you break his ki, he's basically done. Also Namahage skill does a lot of damage to it likely because the fat ass hitbox eats up every hit.
And met the mysterious grill from one of the last trailers. Figured it might be her.

Nagamasa? Just beat him in a Twilight mission and unlike the main one with a sloppy first try win, I got my comeuppances. Just from a Onmyo perspective, Purification seems to work better than Fire. Besides that, a lot of circling and slowly break his ki by taking a couple of quick swings, roll away and repeat. Trying to attack from the front is suicide, he'll go poise monster and destroy you. He seems to have at least two different ground strings with 3 hits each and he can repeat his thrust.
When he flies he'll do more burst attacks, namely a dive kick. Phantom seems to be the best choice for this fight because Brute likely won't reach him and Feral just dashes past and/or under him.
Side note, the last trial boss got a little buff - the overhead axe swing is no longer a burst so no more abusing that.

I usually pop the rifle to deal with one or another but that mission really throws a gazillion of them at the player.

It is, it's the closest thing to a 'fuck you' button the player has at his disposal. I had it for a snek themed set - guardian, snek boss and snek tits. I'll admit I mostly dropped it because I don't like Brute type counters but I abstained from using it (ditto for Sloth).
Right now, I'm using mermaid 2B with titty youkai (ubume, nure-onna and kasha) and Ninetails with abominations (gyuuki, namahage and rokurokubi). Also, gotta say gyuuki core is really good, it's amazing how many enemies are susceptible to poison and once you see some standing still, give them a good cowlick. Helped me a lot with Kasha fight.

Core gameplay is fun and requires your full concentration in every battle because even the most basic bitch enemy can fuck you up. You can play it in a somewhat basic manner, I'm personally going high stance through most encounters, but it does pay off when learn the intricacies and you can leave some fights feeling great if you take the Sekiro approach of really trying to understand AI patterns and fights do tend to be that way, you either get curbstomped or dominate the enemy. The "specialized" types, ninja and onmyo are both fun and viable.
As for issues, it does have that Souls problem where you get stuck in a area and start to want to rush through only to keep dying really stupid deaths but I guess that depends more on your patience as a player.
The thing that's a make or break for most people is the loot system as well as the sheer amount of menus the game has, you'll be constantly fiddling through menus to change gear, attune cores, fuse cores, donate at shrines, forge, refashion, donate to the clan, dismantle, go through entries for characters, enemies, spirits, a log for just about everything that happened in your game like number of deaths, which level you cleared a mission at as well as a gazillion little QoL options etc etc.
>>16888776
I don't know how long this will take to be on PC but seems better to skip 1 and go for this, especially knowing that they're trying to re-use as much content from 1 as possible. I'm enjoying the game but I can see how it can leave people burned out. Of course, you can just go through one cycle and still clock in maybe a good 100 hours.
And yeah, some enemies have attacks of near unreactable speed. Also a LOT of ambushes, always expect a gaki in the grass, bandit in the corner, snake tits in the ceiling or a archer just out of sight.

Starting to get autistic at the blacksmith and gotta say my revenant is gonna be a treat for ninjas and onmyos. Easy too because I still die like an idiot. Anyway, without PS+ I'm struggling a lot for cash and glory. Burned through all my money with soul matching youkai weapons (and those are a LOT cheaper because you can upgrade them with cores) and tempering everything and offering exotic sets to my clan now gives about 7-9 glory a piece so I'd rather dismantle them for materials.
And now I discovered you can get weapon skills by beating specific bosses which I'll probably try when my NG build is done and I can get them done asap because honestly, fuck those dojo missions.

If I actually understand the how things work well enough.
Ninja Gaiden 2 was on the Xbox, the Xbox wasn't really big in Japan so Team Ninja Didn't need to worry about the blood and gore, since the west doesn't think it's as big a deal as boobs, but the way it is on Xbox NG2 would get a Z rating in japan due to all the gore, you can think of a Z ranking as an AO (Adults only) rating or 18-20+ (I'm not sure about the Pal rating system)
Since they made a new version of NG 2 for the PS3 and reworked so much of it, Sigma 2 heavily cutdown on the Gore, and replaced delimbing enemies with purple demon Smoke.
Sigma 2 also has far less enemies to fight at once then Xbox NG2, making things like the Staircase fight far less impressive.
at least this is what i'v observed as someone who only played the Xbox versions, and not Sigma.

Fortunately this probably won't be an issue for any possible upcoming NG games because "massacore" games like Souls, Nioh, and Sekiro are chic right now and they have their own audience. Sekiro winning the Geoff Keilghey games show last December even after all the journos pissed and moaned about it just proves that there's a market. I think things are looking up.

And that's a wrap for NG. Cleared at Lv120 with the relevant stats being 40 CON, 36 SKL and 40 MAG.
The very last chapter is essentially a prologue, with the final mission being pretty easy and, honestly, after being obliterated a ton of times by bosses like Shibata and even Enenra, the final boss felt very easy but perhaps RNGesus smiled at me and I was spared some series of attacks like double nigger not doing the ice arrow spinning salvo. In any case, it's certainly a spectacular fight.
Also, pretty easy game to platinum. I'm only missing the Odachi mystic art because neither of my characters can use it properly but on that note, I had no right to be melting human bosses with a axe while using a Onmyo build. I don't even want to imagine how strong that shit hits with a dedicated build.
And a minor spoiler I think should be given - don't expect any kind of development to the spooky monk guy you've been crossing paths with since the very start because there's literally nothing. Seriously KT, hire some fuckin' writers, this shit was probably even worse than Dee, at least he had some kind of motivation.

From the notes in the bestiary (spoiler): it's one of the three strongest yokai, including nine tailed fox and shuten douji, the spinning hair monk. When you reach the sealing place for the monk and the fox, there's a missing "kneeling swords man" that was supposed to be the guy with the seven pronged sword, who forfeit his destiny as a guardian and let the yokai roam free in exchange for his own freedom.

But that's Otakemaru. The monk is identified as Kashin Koji who's a historical figure and he has no character entry (instead is just a alternate appearance for Otakemaru) and there's no explanation to his connection to Otakemaru or even what the hell Otakemaru wants. Hell, Shuten Douji has more character development and all he wants is to get shitfaced. Likewise, Osakabe-hime has no development besides a possible implication that she'll be corrupting Chacha's Ninetails.
I think the man with the Sohayamaru is meant to be Saitou Dousan, the MC's father. He wanted some of that youkai pussy so he stopped killing them.

How the hell can he think Nioh is that hard? It's only hard early game or if you're incompetent with your stats and equipment.
Meanwhile in Nioh 2 I'm running around killing everything with an axe while running a completely unoptomized build.
Bosses even. The only boss that gave me trouble was spider ox and that's because he was fucking huge and top speed in Nioh 2 is so slow that it felt like trying to fight the Demon of Hatred while wearing full Havel armor.

Quite possibly the only time in the game you're allowed to be taller than a NPC. Seriously, why the fuck is there even a height slider?
Incidentally, this did get me wondering how many other missions with alternative resolutions are there. There's this one, the Sohaya ghost that can be appeased with a gesture and that whole crap with Aquaman and Porky beefing which, btw, it's more time efficient to side with Porky. If you side with Aquaman, you'll need to replay both that submission and Pervading Waters to unlock Shibata's rematch sub mission while siding with him, will only require a replay of the conflict sub mission to unlock rematch with Kuroku.
Speaking of Shibata, he got nerfed really hard in the last patch. His grab now moves at like a third of the speed and the charges end much faster instead of having him bounce around like a pinball on goofballs. Hard to say if he's easier though because he spams the floor is lava attacks much more and the grab is just weird to dodge now.
>>16906230
Kinda curious about that as well.
Speaking of canceling, it's pretty useful that you can use bursts to cancel out some animations like ninja traps.

Block the retarded double-hit spin attack. The rest can be dodged.
Later in the fight her swooping attack becomes delayed, watch her carefully before you dodge or you will dodge prematurely and take 80% of hp in damage.
When she kicks or does umbrella stuff and you dodged itis your breather if you need to heal.
The fight is pretty fun once you figure it out.

Went in expecting the worse but I'm curbstomping everything so far and there's nothing special with the enemy placement besides a brap rat in the first mission (the Namahage are in the second one). And as for damage sponges, prepped bull went down in less than a minute. That said, I am rocking a somewhat tuned water onmyo.
Speaking of builds, I heard that the average max level is 160 though one can score 170 gear by chance (can't be forged) and this left me wondering what the hell is there even left for me to do besides finding some good inheritables to move on to my gear (still looking for those pants) and upgrade my cores. Was also sadly surprised to find out weapon proficiency maxes at Lv30 and here I thought I could get everything on that skill tree.
So far NG+ is feeling a little aimless.
Side note, Kato is officially the scrub set of Nioh 2. Everyone and their mother is rocking that shit. Literally 8 out of 10 revenants are using it even if they're using axe or odachi. Granted, it looks very cool but Christ on a bike, try something else!
Also found the giga nigga of Sudamas. I can't tell if this is a glitch or not.

Also very surprised there's no talk about these two.
When the DLC was announced to be set before the events of the game, almost everyone was 100% certain that would include Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin but now that we know the game isn't about Nobunaga but rather Hideyoshi who dindu nuffin that doesn't seem as certain. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the DLC will be set on the Heian period. We'll see Minamoto no Yoshitsune, Benkei, Taira no Kiyomori, Ushiwakamaru etc. Probably set in the Genpei War and I'd wager the first one is Yoshitsune given that boat hopping tale about him. I wager Shuten Douji and Otakemaru will return too and maybe introduce Tamamo no Mae who's mentioned in Douji's bio.

Funny thing is that I've not been really bothering with trying to maintain an armorset because most of the set bonuses have been changed or outright nurfed this time around.
I wore the demon armor set for awhile and then I switched over to Kaido when I finally had access to it. Some of the armor sets seem like they're still ok but I'm going to wait until NG+ before I bother fiddling with them. I'm not high level enough to wear heavy armor at B agility right now anyway.

It's a prequel but by the point of the epilogue I think it catches up to the time of the first game. It looks like at least one of the DLC expansions will be a prequel to the prequel >>16913825

I don't think to any real extent, no. I did get an accessory because I had a save from the previous game but I don't think anything else.

Quick question about soul matching - I'm rolling all those sweet inheritables into my stuff but there are some that won't transfer, namely stat-based attack bonuses on weapons, the blacksmith even specifically warns that the effect won't transfer. I got both weapons with max familiarity. Anyone know the exact rules for this?
Also just learned you can use R2 to pick which effect slots to replace. Woulda been nice to know a week ago.

It goes all the way to the end of the Osaka Campaign. Somehow, Otakemaru never tried resurrecting Hideyoshi despite knowing he could do it but then again, it would be a shitty idea to resurrect someone whose side lost a war and all of its clout and didn't consider possessing Ieyasu instead. This game should have come with a notice warning that the plot will hurt your brain.

That final region where you get to team up with William brought a giant smile to my face. It seems that both he and the final final boss each drop a huge number of texts. Will should have run Maria through instead of just capturing her.

Halfway done with NG+ and I'm starting to be thoroughly convinced this game is in a whole new genre of its own - it's a revenge game. You start as some poor asshole that gets one shot by everything while doing tick damage but eventually grow to be some monster that can send all that finesse you made yourself learn out the window because now you can cast 5 flavors of buffs in a second, stand in front of anything, start swinging and they're dead in seconds.
I'm running around with about 70 million amrita that I make myself not use because my Lv190 character already feels stupidly overpowered and it's nothing next to some of the shit I've seen. Then again, I'm now doing early missions overleveled because the rewards suck so I'll just just go do later missions underleveled.
Anyway, from all the revenant killing, it looks like the top choices for sets in this game are - Kato, Kingo (token asshole set), Tatenashi, WUZ and Abe Semen. If you are playing a ninja or onmyo, the respective sets really are no-brainers. IMHO people are sleeping on Master Archer set, great choice for a build focused on lightning damage and offers great synergy with Shin-roku GS with Rokugezo as secondary for extra toughness.

They just put up a survey via Famitsu. A rough google translation of the promoting tweet reads:
"Please cooperate with the player survey regarding "Nio 2"!
We have questions such as good points, areas for improvement, frequently used weapons, bosses who struggled, and messages to the development team."
Hopefully there will be a EN version and people are already asking for one.
