Nioh 2

>OP knows the pattern
>OP still gets hit with it even though it's clearly telegraphed and he clearly understands the pattern
>> the game is shit!

He's literally the only boss that gave me trouble. Fuck that fat piece of shit.

How long until the "muh balance" shitters start ruining this thread?

>wear Hideyoshi's armor
>can't see anything in front of me because of the helmet
I love it.

Is that real battle armor? Wouldn't that make you stand out and get sniped?

It's only ever going to be autists who use the broken shit and then complain that the game is unplayable any way else. You combat that by just ignoring them.

It's more like dodge five times and then do a mid stance dodge>roll, it's a really easy grab to avoid when you know how to. Probably shitters dodging backwards into the path of the grab.

Except that's not fine at all when the game is entirely designed from top to bottom around the Ki system. The system based around allowing you to drastically increase your damage output by keeping up heavy aggression or well timed attacks. When you both have low defense none of that matters to the degree it should, either you die immediately without any investment into damage reduction (which people already had issues with that caused all these changes to begin with) or mow through things without paying attention to it, or you pay a little attention to it and any interesting combat scenarios that could arise from it don't even exist because the damage overflows too much. You have to design these things based on how the game's mechanics actually work, not just on such a blank slate of a comparison. That balancing works for Souls games, not for Nioh when you have far more at your disposal in terms of combat.
>why can't I drive a tank in this game? If people want to drive tanks they should be able to, it doesn't matter that this game is set in feudal Japan, the tanks are fine, just don't drive them
Nothing in the game even approaches any level of tedium if you had only learned to just use anything the game presents you, and you're actively just saying you don't want to play the game at all, so the game should be devolved to let you play as little as possible. So don't, and let the people who want to play the game enjoy it.

most of the older warlords typically stay far far away from the frontlines

Maybe not help the towelheads attacking your brother-in-law and listen to your loved ones for once and do the sensible action?

Also, isn't it hilarious that everyone that were honorable historically ended up using spirit stones and turning into yokai againest Nobunaga of all people who was ruthluessly pragmatic and cutting edge in real life? Azai's motivation in Nioh 2 is totally nonsensical.

The attack isn't so great but the passive it gives are bretty good if you know you're gonna get hit and use extraction talismans. Pretty sure it was designed for axe users.

Getting one shot isn't fun because you're not getting the chance to learn shit, you're just getting punished.

so whats the deal with human bosses just getting up when you knock them down seems random

Yoshitatsu buttfucked 25 times so far...still no skills. Pray for me bros o7

Nagamasa was in a bad place but Oda was utterly ruthless, Azai was a good dude but Oda was one scary fucker.
Besides that, there are very few good people in war and Nobunaga wanted people to stop warring A.S.A.P. bloodshed was inevitable.

However Azai has a bitching sword.

What influences if you can refashion into something? I can refashion chest pieces into the flying Kato shit but I can't do it for the gloves or helmet

Recommend me a character to mimic as in Nioh 2. No Vergil please

Toshiie's tracking is beyond stupid, it really feels like Nioh's big attack flaw is janky as fuck tracking just like Souls' is gigantic """shockwaves"""

>Playing a sequel that didn't learn any lesson from the first game
Yas Forums's willingness to eat shit never ceases to amaze me

The red or the purple one?

If you acquire the item, you can refashion into it. Chances are, you beat Kato and he didn't drop the gloves or helmet for you. Also, items you get from revenants don't count.

If you're being one shot from full health something is wrong with your gear

I've thought about that for that reason and took it with me with my 358 giga thundercokc toughness build and noticed all of a few points being removed per attack. I'm sure it'll be better with larger numbers to work with, but it seems very not good. Then again all of that stuff is very not good when compared to Tengen Sujaku's god buffs.

>beat shuten doji

>Azai's motivation in Nioh 2 is totally nonsensical.
Literally mind-controlled by a demon god and didn't even know it, it appears he though they were his actions and decisions.
He can't even see spirits, probably barely understands what the fuck is happening when he fights you because he can suddenly fly.

He only has the one?

Keep at it bro those grapples are really the only hidden skills truly worth farming. Ended up farming him like 35 times in ng+ for them, gave a shitton of levels

Yooooooo I just got dragon fang AND dragon horn in the same drop fuck youuuuuuu yoshi ahahaha time to high tail it outta here

There's nothing wrong with tracking. It just means you should be blocking, timing your dodge better, or getting out of the way entirely.

Hyakkimaru.

Ridiculously tracking is a team ninja trademark

Got to look good so people know you’re some big shit. No seriously, that’s why most samurai’s helmets look so fucking weird. Pic related is fucking ridiculous.

Also has a top tier theme

It drops red or purple, they do different things.
Not attack-wise but stat-wise.

Keep at it, user. It took me 56 times to get all 3 skills.

Bad soul core for an incredibly easy boss that's late game for some reason.

>Suddenly Nobunaga, for no reason, declares war on all your closest allies
This is Ashikaga propaganda. Yoshiaki got all uppity because he was a token Shogun with no real power, so he established a coalition to stop Nobunaga.

There's one more skill from him. You are a based 2kat chad right?

Never drink and fight, kids

It also took me 56 runs wtf? Is there some hidden max limit before it drops?

Or you're just wearing light armor.
And even then, I've been one shot by that Monk Yokai when I was wearing medium armor.

>Nobunaga is then portrayed as the good guy
Nobunaga is never portrayed that black and white in any incarnation. He is always depicted as a ruthless man with a noble vision. A tyrant who would do anything, no matter what the cost, to unify Japan and end the warring states period. That's why he's known as the devil king.

The one with the long tongue? His slaps do a gorillion damage. Just one slap nearly oneshots me.

Ahh that makes sense, I've only gotten the pieces from revenants. Thanks user

>picture complaining about archers
Truly the biggest casual filter

Probably unpopular opinion, but I think the game really should have dropped Hide’s connection with the Saito and start the game much later at around Kanegasaki or something.

That way, the story of the first few regions could be more tightly developed instead of being so disjointed like what we got now. And maybe we could get some cool stages fighting against the Takeda and the Uesugi instead of just fucking around in the first 2 regions.

What is the worst enemy in the game and why is it the long-necks?

I didn't give a fuck about the story, but it was a fun ride. I don't even understand what was happening half the time. Like, Nagamasa died so I guess Oichi married that big boar fucker after? Cool I guess.

The starting point was fine but I agree dropping the connection to Saito would be for the better.
It feels like we should have been spending more time with Toki in cutscenes or in some missions that we have done.

Neat. Guess I'll grind out that stage to get purple. Thanks for the information, user

I think the yokai with the baby, they look cool but they don't really do much

these guys and namahage can go fuck themselves t b h

Just back up and shoot them in the face when they spit at you

Namahage got a bit of a nerf compared to how it was in Nioh 1. Where in that game he was an unstopplabe killing machine

I was going to get the first game but I really just want Elden Ring and I want to starve my fix unless that game comes out. Or unless Dark Souls 2 comes out on the switch I would play that there.

The fact they are literally just an aberran soldier but with a demon head yet have as much health as a mini-boss is so annoying. They also don't care at all about your attacks unless they are completely out of ki.

He wasn't so bad once you got the hang of breaking his horns, same applies here but you're waiting and baiting the burst after for the free yokai grapple.
The yokai weapons from him have some interesting shit to say anyway. Mostly in how much they fucking hate kids.

Just like with 1, the game really expect you to already be familiar with the Sengoku period so they wasted no time explaining who is who and what is going on and that can makes it really confusing to newcomers. Which is a shame because I think the games do have good stories and characterizations deep down (1’s Osaka campaigns and 2’s 4th region onward)

FGOdoji is a thot and not my japanese goburin
