Died on the very first guard, I'm so good.

Same here.

But ended beating the first boss on the first try and only dying on a Yokai fight where I let him get his fully combo on - wiped me out super quick.

Sometimes you need to die once in a game in the early going to properly calibrate your mindset.

Posting again for new page cause I find it amusing.

So I was trying Co-Op for the first time (first mission boss spoiler):

We are a huge niche.

Didn't even realize that there was a weapon and a pair of boots in the room down the hallway. Ha ha.

 

[Onemic]

25 tries and counting ffs

I gave up for the night. Shes infuriating. I think Im just gonna concede and co-op her tomorrow.

I took a break after failing miserably over and over. Came back, and I found myself doing way better than before. Only took a couple of tries to finally win. I think a break should help.

Fuck Twitch cut off the funny part >_>

Here's the correct version:

[cryptosporidium]

The level design is the weakest part of the game (NiOh) IMO

What? I legitimately have the ship level as one of my favourite levels of all time, its absolutely amazing. up there with dishonored in terms of level designs, but thats my opinion.

what levels were bad to you?

 

[GReeeeN]

Yes, you get access to Kato and The Bird later in the game.

Spoiler

But you have to complete a side mission.

Do the rewards clearly show this?, or is it vague?

I think this game is going to do very well. Way above what sony and kt probably thought it was going to do.

So happy. This game is fucking addicting.

Only problem is the story. It is bare bones and incoherent. It is incredibly throwaway.

Hopefully they can do something about that with Nioh 2.

It is hilarious coming across the odd incredibly atmospheric / poignant moment and being like, "Ahyep, that's lifted straight from the Kurosawa script for sure."

Walking up the shrine steps as the figure walks down them, cutting between William and Hanzo's pov (guardian spirit visible/invisible) is classic Kurosawa, down to the fluidity of the edits.

I tried her for the first time yesterday, did read a bit about her here so I knew I have to have some paralysis defence. Died after I got her down to about over half of her life. Then I was reckless and her umbrella dance killed me. Downed her in my third try, thought she was not to hard if you follow the tips from here and be cautious.

Dodge after you hear her scream

Use the paralysis accessorie you find just before the boss in the chest behind the two yokais (big one eyed guy and normal big guy)

Spoiler

There is also a Kodama there

you can also use the archer set that is dropping in this area as this one also has paralysis defence

After she came flying to you, evade this with one or two dodges backwards, get up to her and take 2-3 strikes and get away again, rinse and repeat.


Cost me only a few minutes and about 3 elixirs for the times I was again a bit reckless.

Hope you get to kill her sooner or later!

To compare NiOh's level "complexity" to that of Dark Souls and Dishonored of all games, is frankly ridiculous.

The levels are nice and tightly designed, but they have NOWHERE near the complexity and interconnectiveness that Dark Souls 1-3 have (ok maybe barring 2, but still). And especially in comparison to the open-endedness of Dishonored.

 

[Merchandise]

Guys - photo mode, where?

 

[Beatofficer]

My heart is pounding, a game hasn't done that in a while. Just fought the

boat boss

and beat him with no elixir left and about 15% health. This was my first try at him so I'm pretty pumped about that.

is there a support group for people that cant hack the difficulty of this game? the second boss hino in particular?

 

[MKIL65]

Don't remember, but it's in the Chugoku Region. The side mission is called ''The Three Angry Gods''

When you and a co-op summon finish a mission and start pretend PvP'ing for like 10 minutes before finally ending the mission.

I don't PvP in Souls games but I might give it a shot when it hits Nioh.

It's the one thing that has killed me and it's really annoying that it's a OHKO attack.

Aha, I'd actually describe the game as Dark Souls 2 with better mechanics, but worse visuals as is. Especially relevant comparison in terms of boss quantity > quality, generous shrines, over-reliance on waist-high walls for level design, etc.

EDIT: Should clarify I think Dark Souls 2 is a pretty good game.

I would compare it more to Demon's Souls than any other in terms of level structure and itemization.

Aha, dunno. Demon's Souls is so stupendously creative, and this hasn't approached that level for me yet (though I'm only in region 4, which I think is ~50%?).

Hit L2 until you get to the set page. Unless that's a subheading there, in which case I can't help you >.<

Yep, it's somewhere in the options menu. Especially worthwhile when you get the Wach-whatever haircut that looks badass AF.

Kinda funny how short the first level is

Yeah well, it's physical tax I guess >_> digital is $4 cheaper...

YO

Twilight missions are level 125 and 145.

And the first day there was a mission at 45 and I was high enough level to do it :/

Missed my chance.

[storafötter]

I played for way too long last night. I kept thinking only one mission more and I was up till 2:30 AM. Way too addictive and I love the sub missions challenges and openess for exploration for more loot.

 

[MKIL65]

Hope they address this with future patches.

We should be able to pick and choose when we want to start them, seriously.

You can't tackle the one's you want, as far as i know it's randomized.

Was this game massively undershipped or something? Amazon cancelled my preorder, so I went hunting around Seattle area today thinking it'd be easy to pick up and it was sold out at Gamestop, Target, Toysrus and Best Buy. I gave up after that.

Pre-ordered the night before, they haven't shipped it but have yet to cancel it.

Am I screwed? lol
