Wow you guys were right, just finished the first area and they lowered the difficulty big time. Haven't touched the twilight mode yet but damn, i miss some of the older enemy placements.

So happy my GAF account was activated in time for Nioh. Hey everybody!

Question on Kodama: Is it necessary to get all of them in every level? In the first level I only found six of nine and just moved on, but I wonder if I should go back and get them all.

Heya, i know in the last chance trial the Kodamas gave blessings which boost drop rates for weapons, armour, materials etc depending on either which ones you found or the number you find, i can't remember. You could change which Blessing was active at the shrine and it was effective for the shrine's area of effect.

Don't know if it's changed in the full game yet, i'm still playing Yakuza 0.

Really disappointing they broke CO-OP, and I canceled my order because of this.

In the Demo/Trail you could play CO-OP with your friends without them having to beat the level first. Now to use the tori gate BOTH players have to beat the level first. Wtf? Why would you want to play co-op after both of you have already beaten it.

There's a good thread running on reddit of getting it reverted back to the way it was:

Anyone who is looking to get this changed back please join them.

Well that's not good. I had just convinced my friend to buy it yesterday too.
 
Man, had to decide between this or Yakuza and ended up getting Yakuza based on the Giant Bomb playthrough. I'm going to get Nioh eventually, but at $79.99 CAD and being a student again just makes it impossible to justify both. Seeing this thread blow up makes me wish I could get it now.

I'm actually having a much easier time with A lol. Just kind of hammers it home that it's NOT a Souls game.

... Still playing it like a Souls game tho

I switched back to type A to compare and now my brain is confused. I keep hitting R1 thinking it's my light attack...
 
Do you need PS+ to do co op?

Also beat the first 3 missions and all the side missions. That last side mission he cavern was rough, beat it first try with only 4 health left. I'm really liking 1kat, tons of moves and combos to learn. I can definitely see myself replaying with other weapons
 
Still unimpressed with the way in which they have drastically lowered the difficulty compared to the Beta and Alpha. Its very blatant and noticeable in all the levels from both. Theres very little sense of challenge at all anymore. I dont understand why they did this. It saps all the fun out of the game for me.

bruh...I'm not getting any so in case they are different, could I ask for one? They probably won't work in Europe though :/
Click to expand...
If it's a US code all you need is a make a secondary US PSN account, redeem and download that game then just play that game on your main europe account instead simple as. If you want to buy the dlc you have to buy it from the US account you can just buy those prepaid us topup codes from online.

In the Beta, it is just a level you play they made the difficulty and such of it so you can feel how the game will be in final game.
This is now the first level in final game, of course the first level won't be too hard progression and all

Yeah it seems like they removed some of the enemies. Hopefully the later missions and the twilight versions make up for it.
 
Hino-Enma no damage title finally done.

Got 9 rep points for that.

It definitely picks up further in.

From what I can tell, the timing is the same. It's just that the ki pulse from dodging immediately subtracts the ki needed to dodge, as well.
Click to expand...

Ok. I'm getting an inner orb (?) flash when I dodge, but I get the same thing when ending a combo with a kick, which then negates any ability to get a full Ki pulse. So this basically just makes dodging after a combo free, but no return of Ki aside from that?

I also have the skill that grants my next attack a damage boost after refilling all of my Ki from a Ki Pulse (a buff indicator appears when it works). I have done this while dodging at the same time, so I'm not sure this is actually the same thing as simply dodging at all. I do this with a full Ki Pulse, but the timing seems so random.

edit: Nvm for dumb.

Muntu said:
It means that it does the ki pulse thing when you dodge. Don't have to press R1.

Very useful.
Click to expand...

I spent about ten minutes trying to figure out what I should be doing, from hitting R1 + X to hitting R1 then X, and hitting X and then quickly R1 not realizing that you literally just hit X as a replacement for R1. This is super useful, although is it possible to Flux while doing this as well? Seems like you might have to choose a combo and dodging to refill vs a combo and then stance switching for even more Ki.
 
Damn, my copy actually arrived today. I thought I wouldn't get it for another day or so, hyped. Time to go balls deep in some Yokai.

If anyone has any spare Preorder codes for the Nioh armor I'd really appreciate one.
 
Can anyone explain how the title and clan system works? I'm finding it rather confusing so far. It appears I can only choose from 3 clans atm. Will the others unlock as I progress through the game or do I need to do something to unlock them?

Thats good to hear. Playing through the third mission from the Alpha/Beta that was way easier had me worried. Ill keep on trucking through then.
 
Anyone else get dropped dodge inputs when they're walking towards or directly backwards from a locked on target? Ridiculously frustrating.
 
Wow...this is game is amazing. Funnily enough, I really couldn't stand the very first demo of the game. I found it overly hard, arbitrarily over-tuned to create a false sense of difficulty.

I'm not a souls game fan, but the RPG and loot mechanics in Nioh really speak to me. Lots of great build potential. Not to mention armour that does more than just looks.
 
Started playing yesterday and got through the prologue, first 2,5 regular missions (stopped after beating the stage 3 mid boss) and all side missions which unlocked.

So far I'm having a blast and I'm really happy that everything seems to be rebalanced compared to the demos. Instead of dying over and over again I rarely do and so far I was able to beat the 2nd stage boss and the 3rd stage mid boss on the first try, despite spending over an hour on each of them in the demo. Especially the 2nd boss, which made me change my weapon from Axe to Dual Katanas in the demo was now completely doable (I also got 2 anti paralysis accessories before the fight, which helped a lot).

I didn't expect to enjoy side missions as much as I do, because I usually hate reused content in game. That said, the way they put gimmicks in the levels and block of most routes makes those short missions really fun.
 
I posted on the wrong thread :'(

When selecting a mission, what does the torii gate icon mean? The other one looks like a shrine and I think shows whether a shrine is available.. I think...
 
Is there any way to check if I have found all the Kodama within a mission other than when you're at the main map? I'm redoing the first mission and I'm unsure if I've found them all or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
 
So I'm just starting it up and in terms of the mode, I'm on a pro and I see 3 options, which is movie mode, action mode and movie mode with variable frame rate. Now I read an article that the last option is only for non pro ps4 so I don't know if the game is detecting I'm on pro! I'm after 1080/60

It gives you a ?/total number on the bottom right of the screen when you are in the blessing menu at the shrine.

All 3 modes are available on Pro. You're good.
 
Also, is this the correct thread to show off our characters? (I put the screenshot it in spoiler tags just in case)
