When does it get good?

It never does. It's a shitty Souls clone that fails at every single aspect.

Stop trying to play it like Dark Souls and you'll enjoy it. See this guy? He tried to play it like Dark Souls and he can't stand it. I don't play Nioh like Dark Souls, I don't play The Surge like Dark Souls.

Joke's on you, I tried playing it as Nioh and not a Souls games and still was garbage.

I bet you did and I bet it was, bubby.

What does that even mean?

You can't roll out of any and all danger like DS3 nor can you poise through it like DS1. Ki pulse is ESSENTIAL and not doing it means you'll die quickly and often. Knowing which light-mid-heavy stance to use at the present moment benefits immensely even if it's not a strict necessity. Equipment doesn't work the same way, loot and gear don't work the same way (so don't get attached to any one weapon unless you've crafted it since it's Diablo-like with some RNG stats), stats don't work the same way.

Never. The game is wasted potential. What's the point of having fun combat if you fight the same 3 enemies over and over.

After London Tower (about 15 minutes in). It's one of the best games in about a decade, it's a shame you aren't enjoying it.

Between the Diablo loot cancer, the lack of an interconnected world (a standard design element of the Soulsborne genre that Team Ninja decided to ignore for no reason), convoluted combat system, having to fight the same four enemies for 40 hours, mediocre level design, reusing the same levels ten times, boring setting, forced grinding and being forced to create very specialized gear builds to even progress through, it never does.

Nioh is an example of what I call high budget shovelware. Like, even The Surge fans look down at it.

Instantly. Stop playing video games if you dont like video games.

Fixed.

>convoluted combat system
Wait. Don't tell me Niohs combat was too complicated for you? I know you soulsbabies are used to only having a very small amount of moves per weapon but come on.

When you get nioh 2. Seriously, 1 isn't worth the time now that 2 exists and is better in literally every way.

>convoluted combat system
stopped reading there
retarded opinion
combat is smooth and great

Depends.
Most people do not figure out the mechanics until far far far after Nue.
But if you figure out the mechanics before that, its a great game.

Its simply a game where buffing/debuffing is the most important.

Enenra taught me this and I finally got it. I would rage when enemies would hyper armor their way through my attacks and kill me and it took fighting him to realize that I'm still trying to play this shit like dark souls with trying to run up and just start slapping shit. This series really makes you rely on your skills and tools cause once I slowed down and took my time, I was able to beat him.

feels like a ps2 game imo, no physics whatsoever

Never. I tried getting into this game three, THREE fucking times, but the stupid dash/evade and dodge with the terrible hitboxes + the stupid recover stamina(KI) and the stance system makes the gameplay a fucking annoying ass shit. Seriously, in the middle of the combat you need to pay attention to the KI recover shit while changing stances and evading/dashing to not get hit, it's a fucking pain in the ass.

I like exploring the worlds and fighting the enemies but the bosses and challenge side missions are cancer. I summoned my way through the last 1/4 of the game

There is no reason to play Ni-oh when Sekiro (and the actual, From made Souls games) exists.

I wouldn't say it's that annoying and you get used to ki pulsing pretty quickly. I tried getting into 1 like 4 times and only just this year I was actually able to get into it and I really enjoyed it. Got to NG+++ too. I've platinumed 2 and waiting on the DLC now. If you keep avoiding the mechanics and trying not to learn them, you're going to have a bad time.

It wasn't complicated; it was unnecessarily complicated, convoluted and cumbersome, as puts it.
Meanwhile Sekiro has a pretty simple but very instinctive, effective and deep when you get into it combat system.

I wouldn't call 80% of the game's combat being parry-windows deep in comparison to Nioh

Except it's not unnecessarily complicated, convoluted, or cumbersome.

t. someone who enjoys both FROM games and Nioh

It's true deep compared to Nioh's artificial deep.

>Someone with such good gaming standards that he went the extra mile and platinumed Sekiro willingly eating Nioh's plate of shit

Oh fuck off, "artificial depth" is a cop-out complaint, just say you like Sekiro's better.

>complains about it being artificial

Fanboy for sekiro all you want, I enjoyed it immensely too. But its combat is anything but deep.

Nioh isn't "artificially deep". I wouldn't say FROM games are all that deep either. It takes a whole 2 seconds to learn how to ki pulse and switch stances. I'm not some god at nioh but it's really not that difficult to learn.

it doesnt

nioh is an extremely mediocre game that Yas Forums likes only to be contrarian and nothing more

How do I farm lvl 170 weapons?

Pray to God you get lucky.

Never

I have a damage bonus STR A++ Katana, where is the share spot?

I went from loving Nioh 2 NG to absolutely despising it and never want to touch the series again doing the brainless clean up that’s left for you in NG+.

The loot is a chore, shifting through ARPG menus (genre designed fir keyboard plus mouse) is a chore, going back to ass rape NG levels for titles is a chore, getting +10 divine is a chore, but what’s worst of all is the reward is the combat loses all substance and becomes cheese city of invulnerability and disgusting damage.

I can already see it:
Exactly like the first game, what’s going to happen to “fix” all these problems? Some shitty DLC with extremely obnoxious bosses.

Perhaps the best combat mechanics in gaming right now totally sabotaged by shit game design and balancing.

Oh and I forgot to mention how much worse every encounter is in NG+, because you are playing the game at a quicker pace you realize just how many encounters rely on ranged enemies.

It’s artificially deep, there’s no reason for low stance to exist, it sucks dick

Low stance serves a purpose. That purpose is not big dick damage. That doesn't make it useless. Learn the fucking game, or just keep bitching.

I’m better than you. If you think low stance isn’t trash you’re fucking shit at the game.

You also eat dick all day. I'm glad you're better than me in that regard.

Now the shitter is butthurt that he got exposed

Low stance is awful, its a trap for awful players

>eats yet more dick

You're not winning.

god I hate the dojo missions for each weapon

See
I suggest killing yourself before your shoot up your school

Never.
It's repetitive as fuck.

I'll make a pact with you, join me in doing so. As long as you eat my dick before then.

See
Do it before you shoot up your school

no u

my dick is waiting faget

Oh boy, what a great thread! Lots of riveting conversations and worthwhile posts!

>admitting you’re going to shoot up a school
What the fuck

>eating more dick

This really is a fun thread.

Low stance isn't a trap designed for awful players. It's quite literally designed for you to learn boss/enemy patterns which is why you can get a free dodge on top of a normal dodge if you dodge the first thing right if there's a chain of attacks. The point of low stance, which is explained in the game, is to essentially practice when to dodge to avoid damage rather than unga bungaing. However, because most people, myself included, would rather bang their head against the wall until they smash through it a lot of people ignore low stance or have a trash opinion like yours.

>Low stance isn't a trap designed for awful players
Yes it is. It’s total dogshit, you are braindead

Woah woah woah you can't do that. Actually explaining the game to someone who is clearly better than everyone else, get out of here with that logic and reason. Offer your dick to him, he'll gobble it on up.

>butthurt shitters sucking each other off

Damn we got an Eric to go with our Dylan

I dropped the game a bit after Nue. It's repetitive as fuck.

Sure thing, whatever helps you get through the day.

You explained exactly why it is a shitty noob trap for bad players

To learn and understand when to dodge rather than facetank like a retard? Alright

The fact that you don’t see the problem with what you’re saying really explains why you are total trash

The fact that you just keep posting really explains why you are the real trash. Just stop. The thread is already derailed, don't make it worse.

Well then tell everyone why it's so trash rather than not saying anything at all and being a bumbling idiot that keeps parroting himself.

>Does shit damage
>Does nothing positive

>Sekiro
>deep
inb4 you post those webms where going into the menu to change skills and prosthetic is cut

Thanks for explaining why you're not very good at the game and forcefully bash your face against everything until you get through.
