The game looks quite good, I like the verticality in movement, but the combat in Nioh is better than any From Software game.

Re: Good effort Nioh, but this is how it's done.
I do like the way the grappling hook is used and it definitely looks more action oriented than the Souls/Bloodborne game(s) but I would still be surprised if it has better combat than Nioh, it might do other things better. Nioh was revolutionary with its stance system and the ki/stamina system and how the two integrated with each other.Moses Scurry wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 8:11 amLies.
They have picked up the tempo for this game obviously and you can see the quality of the game is about 100 times better.

Bloodborne had the Ki mechanic, but for health.

Re: Good effort Nioh, but this is how it's done.
Oh Moses, always bashing poor Nioh. Which is an excellent game! The only thing I want in Nioh 2 as an improvement is really completely customizeable combos with each stance. They got close to this level of detail. But if I can order and reorder each individual stroke of high, medium, and low stance and how those chain off one another, that's all they need.
BTW this game looks rad.

Re: Good effort Nioh, but this is how it's done.
Nioh was also super offensive focused and rewarded precision and timing as you got better. Making you more daring and wild as you went. But you got punished if you were sloppy. I feel like From's games try to strike a more healthy balance of offense and defense.

Re: Good effort Nioh, but this is how it's done.
Yeah, this looks good though. This is an atmosphere that speaks more to me than the Dark Souls or Bloodbourne atheistic. I like what I've seen here.

Bloodborne was better than Nioh.
Both are great games.

It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

90 on metacritic. 9.5 on ign. FromSoftware does it again.

Bloodborne rewarded you for being offensive.

You should always be moving side to side or forward in a fight in Bloodborne, always.
I liked Nioh but it was just an OK game. I will definitely be getting this one in the OP though. Looks stellar.

Re: Good effort Nioh, but this is how it's done.
Haha, this game is hard as balls.
It is f-ing beautiful.
The story telling got me pretty quick and i couldn't care less about japanese feudal lore.
My advice, keep the japanese dialog and read the subtitles.
It's basically half-stealth and half-parry/deathblow game.

I don't want to even try this game if it is that hard. But I am the opposite with Japanese history, I think I'd be enthralled with the story and the scenery.Moses Scurry wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 4:14 pm Haha, this game is hard as balls.

Re: Good effort Nioh, but this is how it's done.
I think once you get going and really use stealth kills to your advantage along with the other strategies, it's manageable but at some point you do need to git gud and use the system as intended. It's definitely not a "level, get OP and overpower everyone" game.LordNu wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 5:12 pmI don't want to even try this game if it is that hard.

Level design and the overall aesthetics make Nioh look like Steamboat Willy.

Nioh was better. I heard this thing runs pretty poorly on console as well.
