Ni Oh II Thread

Sekiro simply made Ni-oh (and in a way the Soulsborne games) obsolete.
If I were KT I would just cancel the launch and recoup my losses. Like, what's the point of releasing a Sengoku Soulsborne clone in a post-Sekiro world?

>the core gameplay was solid enough to stand on its own
Was it? The combat was terrible, the only thing that made progressing through the game tense was the threat of invasion because most enemies were braindead.

And Nioh 2 did? Aside from a slight increase in enemy variety and a few new weapon types its practically the same game with a few new problems of its own, particularly the demon zones which serve more as annoyances than anything compelling. Level design is still hit or miss, enemies can still stun you to death with heavy-hitting attacks, loot system hasn't had any significant changes other than temporary unique weapons. This is coming from someone who enjoyed the first one.

I don't know if Nioh 2 did. It's not out yet, so I can't comment and withhold judgement until I've played it myself.

Will Nioh 2 also have the character transmogs you can buy from the teahouse like in 1? I know we have custom characters now, but I could still see them adding the NPC costumes.

Yeah you could change to an NPC and William in the demo so that feature is still in

Hasn't even played the game acts out like he knows everything already kys

Sent shill.

We had William as an option in the beta before this last one, they'll be back for sure

Everything I stated was opined from all of the prerelease experiences I've had with it, so i suppose I can't cast any final judgments either, but its enough for me to say that there haven't been any fundamental or structural changes to the formula whatsoever. Aside from the Dark Souls sequels, every Fromsoft souls title has made some significant fundamental change to the formula. Dark introduced an interconnected open world, Bloodborne forced a dodge-only agressive playstyle, Sekiro removed the RPG elements, added verticality and stealth, etc. Not saying Nioh 2 needed a large quantity of fundamental changes as the original was sound but something large enough for it to feel like a different game. They could've seamlessly connected the areas together while retaining a mission structure post-completion, which they already kinda did with a few of Nioh 1's earlier areas.

Here's my waifu.

early copy anons where you at?

darks souls barely had any changes stop lying I have played the games they only had small minor additions overall the gameplay remained the same

and also bloodborne and sekiro were made to be different the inherent problem with your post is this is a sequel not a completely different ip

People constantly talk shit about how bad the second half of Dark Souls is and it's common knowledge that half the weapon types aren't worth using unless you minmax the fuck out of your character, why do people try to push that it's a great game? It's like saying the first Dragonball Xenoverse game is good because it's sequel is an above average game.

You can customize like your hair and shit for each of the 3 forms but the form itself depends on your spirit

>Dark introduced an interconnected open world
Imagine caring about this nonsense.
Dark Souls introduced Estus, which is the most important mechanical change. The interconnected world is just a neat little thing that only retards think is actually important.

It's a moderately difficult game that got some widespread appeal because "oh my god it's sooooo difficult", and playing it was like gamer cred

Because Nioh's combat is better than all of those games combined.
Literally GOD-TIER combat

Yes, which is why the third installment still regularly reaches daily player counts over 10000.
You can say you don't like it, but your brainlet tier comment has already outed you as a retard, so a retard like you not liking it is not a bad reflection on the game.

>1kat
>shrine maiden set
That's all I need.

As if PvPfags can ever let go

>SEKIRO SEKIRO SEKIRO
>SOULS SOULS SOULS
Every fucking thread. This will get worse when the game actually releases, right?

It changes the experience moreso than you think. In Demons Souls you had a general idea of where you were entering via the archstones and a general progression path, that is, go from archstone to area main, unlock shortcut back to initial archstone if level provided, then go to boss. With the open world structure in Dark Souls a bonfire could often lead to completely divergent paths that could either branch out, lead back to a shortcut to the same bonfire or a different area, or end. The fact that you weren't given any blatant indication of the uncharted paths beforehand makes exploring more exciting and rewarding IMO.

Has it changed the loot system?

>Muh interconnected world

I wonder what did you play before Dark Souls. Probably nothing, like most Soulsfags

No.

No. Why would they?
Inb4: pointless whining.

Nice response braindead faggot

Ok, I guess I'm gonna skip out on it. The system is silly for a game like this and you're silly for defending it.

because its sperg shit

I beat that duel asshole in Nioh. With 1kat in an honorable Samurai duel.
Shit was so cash.
Is 1kat this fun against demons?

>this close to launch
>no fucking brazillian/italian/euro streaming the game

the what?...

I just checked Twitch and got all excited seeing a chinese guy play Nioh 2. It was just Katana Kami... fucking slanteyes

>those Orney and Smuph revenants on the second level
I'm actually terrified of devs adding more avanced humanoid types into the game because they are far more bullshit than any revenants

Stop making Belle Delphins
Why do you think they are hard? I still think the only slightly hard part of the demo was the crystal powered Enki.

Another day,another dude filtered by the loot system

Anyone already playing the game have spoilers like Guardian spirits, skill trees, story, loot, etc

How important is blacksmith shit in the early game of Nioh?
I'm drowning in loot, so it feels like it'd be a waste to put a lot of effort into some items if I'm just gonna replace them with a new drop in the next level.

>How important is blacksmith shit in the early game of Nioh?
Don't bother with it until DLC whatsoever, just find the loot with higher stats and maybe an elemental damage on it, that's all
You only start putting some love into your weapon once you get to divine gear.

Nah, I'm more into Anzu's looks than Belle. Belle looks is too old.

>bloodborne
>multiplayer never alive
That is the most ignorant statement ive ever read on Yas Forums. Ive done hundreds if not thousands of invasions in Bloodborne

Hope we get more enemy variety in N2, you saw all variations after entering the 2nd map area in the first.

>Nobody wanted to do Chalice Dungeons
>Being invaded in story zones could be solved by killing the bell maidens which were always in the same place
Fucking god-awful system

I am watching the influencer Maximilian Dood play the last chance beta and the game looks like utter shit. The screen looks like someone vomited 500 colors and particles all over to create the illusion of depth.

>incoming a million bloodborne drones

Did they fix the trash loot?

>sataniafag is retarded
Like pottery

Not him but as someone who REALLY loved BB invasions i can surely state that being an invader is fucking painful and a year after the game's release i was forced to wait for several minutes in some locations just to invade
Which is an absolute bloody shame, BB invasions are amazing.
