The
first(or is it the second?) area in the second map
is
no man's wharf
from Dark souls done right aesthetically.

Probably the area with the best lightning the game so far. I just love the look of it overall.

The lightning sound from weapons is annoying, reminds me of the Beast Claws from Bloodborne or Friede's Scythe from DS3, I don't know why devs keep insisting on giving us annoying weapon audio for an extended period of time.

If you mean the audio when you have weapon drawn, just refashion that weapon to another skin and you'll only get the sfx when hitting enemies, no longer sparks when drawn.
 
Gear menus need some filters and shit, things get too chaotic when you've got 20 pieces of every type of gear and you gotta choose which ones to equip and which ones to scrap/use for soul forging.

At least something like "only display light/med/heavy gear" or something. That alone would help since I only use light gear.

Your stats aren't high enough. Says "xxx required ##" on the bottom.
 
The mechanical depth of this game is insane. I went in expecting something soulsborne like but there's so much more here. This game has potential to be the GOAT.
 
Holy shit, N
ue
is no joke. Going to grab a bite to eat and try again.
Might be my first co-op summon for help :P

EDIT: Ok got him to a sliver of health but fucked up by using an item in the middle of his attack. I know I can do this solo :)

I find sorting with r3(?) to be a good crutch. Not perfect, but good enough for me.

Yeah that combined with the stamina talisman makes it a lot easier.

Farming the guy for a full armour set. Seems this game rewards boss farming with unique loot and/or unique blacksmithing recipes/crafting mats.

I already mentioned how the big electric dog thing gave me a mask. Now from a new sword recipe I can see it's talon is needed.

The drop rate for equipment should be like a quarter of what it is. There's too much vendor/disassemble trash, essentially. Maybe it made sense with the old durability system, but the amount of cruft is completely overwhelming.

All that spare gear is very important for getting usable items or crafting materials
 
Is there an obvious way to stop the game from going online? Not disconnect the internet obvious, but...yeah. So many graves on the screen is annoying.

Only the rare stuff really(blue/purp), the White/Yellow is kind of pointless there and you are inundated with it. I mean what are you going to bother forging of yellow/white quality anyway?

Gotta agree this game is just filled with trash that either you ignore bothering to pick up, or deal with the tedium to rid yourself of it. (I still absolutely adore playing it though)
 
Dat changelog.

Since the game "booted me out" I figured I'd give movie mode another shot. Nope, lasted 30s, feels like my gear doubled in weight.

I did not know that, thanks. I like the way Raikiri looks though :(
 
Man, I love the fact that you can just switch stances mid-attack, no problem. The light attack combo of high stance kusarigama is definitely my go-to attack, but sometimes the big dude I'm attacking doesn't get stunned by it. Trying to dodge on high stance would be death in most cases, but I can just switch to low stance during the final attack animation and start hitting x. Usually manage to dodge to safety.

This fucking battle system is just insaaanely cool.
 
A new patch started downloading, should I install it or will it screw up something?

EDIT: I installed it and the patch notes just say "various bug fixes".
 
Is there a way to get the blacksmith plans for the Earth Spear you get from the Bull dude?

How does the blacksmith get new recipes other than from plans that you obtain? I was wondering if there's a system that's like "disassemble 15 of a weapon to learn the plan for it" I have like 8 swords I can build, but only 1-2 of every other type of weapon.
 
Got through the intro and first mission which was basically the first two demos. Died once and that was a death on purpose because I missed an item on a ledge and the only way to get back up was to die and respawn at a shrine above. It was the area right before the manor where you fall down.

I still crack up when Hanzo
pulls the cat out
I know it was a real thing but still, it's hilarious to see.
 
Finally found a fucking copy of this fucking game in stock at Fry's. Sold out everywhere else within 200 miles of me, ships in 1-2 months on Amazon. What the fuck was the publisher thinking.

White and Yellow crafting pieces can be upgraded into the next tier up and blue into purple.

Everything has a use

Yeah, it's a bit like MH in that regards. Nioh borrowed a lot from other games. Which is not a bad thing of course.

None is going to buy it. Which tbf is probably true for most games published by KT.
 
Playing through the 3rd (?) mission. Just beat the N
ue ---
. Wasn't really much trouble because if SoulsBorne games have taught me anything, it's that getting right up into a larger monster's face and hammering on its obvious weak point while dodging its attacks is the key to success.

I did not expect it to be a mid-boss though.

So I'm assuming the next mission will be the Ogress one from the Last Chance Trial? Or do I have a couple more to go before then?

How is it even possible to stamina-starve Hino-Enma? It takes so long to get her to use up a sizable enough chunk and it seems like whenever she gets close, she uses that attack that creates a yokai zone and regains everything. I try to pulse them away when she makes them, but that just forces me to get close to her and half the time she traps me in a combo.
Click to expand...

You dont need to tbh.

Run around the stage as your run will allow you to dodge most of her attacks including her paralyze scream. When shes in recovery after doing any of her attack run in towardss her and hit her once with a strong attack(ideally high stance) then run away and rinse repeat. She is extremely weak to hit and run tactics.

EDIT: seems like you already beat her
