Nioh doesn't have PvP.

Yet. Koei Tecmo said they're implementing it at a later date.

No details about what kind of PVP though.

My only worry is that they would try to balance the base game to match the PVP instead of keeping all this cool stuff. Can you imagine the whining if the one shot barehand parry applies for PvP?

 

[Gxgear]

Enemies look very bullet-spongy.

 

[SOR5]

I REALLY like this game, great elements of hack n slash

I wonder what people would think if Capcom released a new Onimusha? Would it be considered a souls rip off? I am glad that it seems to have a very interesting combat system though.

They've also announced it on the final livestream on last Friday.

Oh shit son

Godamn,wish I was 1/10th as good as this guy lol...I suck. ;P

Those are harder enemies. It's a special stage.

 

[MegaSackman]

Enemies look very bullet-spongy.

He's using low stance which does very little damage. You have medium and high stance which do more damage.

The man, the myth, the legend. XLHGladiator puts out his exhibition video "Yokai Must Die!" for Nioh's LCT

[Chaos2Frozen]

Low stance deals less damage for faster speeds plus most of those were like mini-mini-bosses.

I wonder if people are getting too spoiled by Soul's quick kill enemies. This doesn't bode well for future Action games.

 

[TreIII]

*Bison_Yes.gif*

It's always great to watch this guy's vids, because there is always something to learn. Practically being up in Ogress' grill to completely avoid her "fury swipes" attack? Hell, yeah.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Was waiting for this. I'll never be that good but it gives me something to aspire to lol.

 

[TimeEffect]

My one worry with this game is that you can unlock a lot of powerful skills and I hope the enemies can keep up, or else you're going to spam them with all kinds of attacks.

PvP is going to be crazy

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

I think it's possible to mimic some of these moves. The complexity is still not in a DMC level yet.

The main complexity to learn are the parry timings and flux. Dodge pulse is a good clutch but flux is how you get back tons of stamina.

Parrying and dodging and regaining ki while trying to be so offensive is what's going to kill all of us. I mean, everything is doable the problem is not getting ourselves killed.

 

[MrS]

The game looks incredible. Really enjoyed the video too.

 

[toastyToast]

Finally NeoGAF can award the action GOTY to a real action game and not stuff like Hitman.

Who knows. We might get a Shadows of Mordor sequel this year

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

I will rage out in the year we get Nioh, Nier, For Honor, Berseria, and even Yakuza, that a game that uses arkham's combat wins best action lol

 

[Grassy]

Now the trial has ended(for me), I just want to keep playing...I was just starting to get good armour and weapons, it's going to be a long two weeks.

 

[Akibared]

Opps I thought this was the demo thread. >.<

 

[FiraB]

Enemies look very bullet-spongy.

Nah he has a habit of using weak weapons.

Against that same tengu in low stance my character hits for about 230 damange plus 20-25 odd elemental damage. The orge with the red spikes can actually be straight one-shotted by using explosive, fire arrows or fire magic.

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Btw guys another reason why I chose a generic title is because I figure if people want to post other videos from other players with good play they can

My main motive for this thread is to dispel the notion that this is just a Souls Clone.

 

[darkwing]

yup i'm never going to get this good

 

[cryptosporidium]

daaaayum. Still trying to figure out a secondary weapon for my ninja build. This guy makes spears/longstaffs look awesome

 

[Jimrpg]

That video is ridiculous. (in a good way).

Why does he sheath and unsheath his weapon during combat? You can see him go R1+circle sometimes.

I thought that's the only way you do iaii?(that vergil rapid slash move)

It's for the iai draw attack, it's pretty strong.

This game would be the second time I am actually interested in voting GOTY here if the whole thing is as good as the demo I played.

Thank you, i had no idea.

I'm just trying to work this game out at the moment.

 

[Ratrat]

Oh my god, thats not the game ive been playing....

 

[Qvoth]

literally some crazy shit

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

literally some crazy shit

Would you say it's absolutely crazy ?

 

[leroidys]

Fighting people's ghosts the in the demo was so damn fun. Bring on the final game. Can't remember the last time I got a KT game on launch day.

 

[Rckstar]

Enemies look very bullet-spongy.

Yeah time to kill was a little high even with lvl 25 weapons.

Still day one for me!

I wonder if you can fight a mimic and a ghost at the same time. Gonna try that next time

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Someone needs to make a video fighting Tachibana Muneshige to this song in the background.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iVMdrWFAHA

 

[HStallion]

But will this game fill my dark Samurai soul with liiigggghhhhhhtttttttt?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Tachibana Muneshige (almost) no damage duel

Same guy explaining the mechanics of stance switching and Ki Pulse, even some new stuff that I didn't know about cancelling lol.

The combat is great.
If the level design is at least decent we will have a potential cult IP in the making.

Shadow of Mordor Sequel = GOTY.

[bunkitz]

He just... he just keeps toying with them.

I thought he was running away from that Amrita Fiend because his weapon was on fire and that would've been bad news, but no. No. He doubled back to gather more enemies to toy with. Jesus Christ. Man, this is awesome. I love how flashy the game can get.

 

[xuchu]

Can't wait for the full release. Team ninja seem to be doing everything right, which is surprising considering their recent pedigree. Another comment I often see in the Last Chance Trial thread is that enemies are bullet-spongy and too tanky and often reference XLH's videos. He's obviously using low-level/wooden weapons in order to style on them.

I swear people are spoiled by Dark Souls' Time-To-Kill ratio. If DMC4 was released today by their standards the enemies are bullet sponges.

Exactly, even more so with DMC4 as when going for SSS ranks you would purposefully use weaker combos to not kill the enemies too quickly.

Additionally, even souls has plenty of traditionally tanky enemies.

One of the early complaints was that people didn't like to fight multiple enemies, so it looks like Team Ninja removed a lot of them and now you don't fight more than 2-3 at a time unless you fucked up big time.

But now in addition to fighting less enemies some people also want less TTK... =_=
