Nioh 2

[Hyperion]

Was forced Jap voices even a complaint in Nioh? I'm not one to play my games with Japanese voices, but in Nioh it really felt authentic seeing Sir Anjin as the only English speaker, with some poorly spoken English thrown around by the supporting characters like Hanzo, and really hammered the 'stranger in a strange land' theme well. The subs were definitely good enough, and served the game well. Koei usually gives the option for Japanese voices anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem but still, feels like a waste of resources and disk space.

lol english dub

That's downright shocking. Did the industry learn nothing from the westernised Yakuza debacle? I seriously hope settings allow for separate text/voice languages.

I'm not usually one to complain about dubs, but that is the worst dubbing I've ever heard/seen in any game or movie, ever. It seriously detracts from everything else because it's so out of place and comical. What's with the accents? It looks like there's been no attempt at lip-syncing the dubbing or any thought given at all. That is just absolutely awful.

Curious where they would set the eventual Nioh 3. With this and the supposedly prequel DLC's, they would exhaust pretty much the whole Sengoku timeline. Probably bakumatsu?

Boshin War or Satsuma Rebellion. You've got double action cartridge revolvers and even some lever actions by then, but with cap and ball still being the overwhelming majority of firearms and overtly supernatural powers in play swordplay is still viable (especially since Nioh 1 already has guns usable and doesn't give them that much damage). Boshin War in particular has such hodgepodged equipment in play you can restrict the cool guns to the late game and say the early game guys just got random obsolete arms instead of modern stuff.

So, am playing through Nioh 1 and it's full of shit. 1 hit kills, boss that use paralysis, same-y environments, trash writing & story, bullshit bosses who kill you in 2 hits because they think artificial difficulty is enjoyable?. Combat mechanics are good, but what's the point when the rest of it is just shit!

While Dark Souls may have had the initial reputation of a masochist's game, I think Nioh truly is the one. What did you all see in it so much that you are still here? besides some interesting combating mechanics this game is rubbish.

1 hit kills, boss that use paralysis

wear armor that gives you resistance to paralysis.

Wait! There is more. How come there is no punish for the boss but there is punish for the player, as in high risk - reward attacks.
An example would be how you can hit back the giant frieball in DMC:


Even frickin Dark Souls has a parry mechanic to punish the bosses, here all I do is dodge-hit-dodge-hit, and when I feel cheesy I can activate invincible mode! -_-
But, really it's the 2 hit kills from a normal attack on bosses is what's killing it, if I want to learn a 'tell' I have to die a few times because the wind-up's aren't readable to the extent you can guess out what the attack probably will be. So I have quite a few runs where I have to learn shit and die, then another bunch of runs where a single mistake can fckn kill me, then after 30 tries I can defeat it by waiting around and hitting it only in the openings with my pokey stick that barely does any damage.

nioh does have parry mechanic, though it is unlockable skill and it only works on humans and human bosses.

Ignoring all the shit in your posts... you can't just dismiss a feature well done that is scarce on the market.

You are right, what's the point of having fun?

You can knock bat bitch out of midair by throwong a rock before she fires the paralysis wave at you and get free hits in her on while she's downed. You know when you're paralyzed you can still use anti-paralysis needles and cure it.....right?

Nu's belly is his weakpoint which makes him lose his lightning ability for a bit.

If you hate it, imagine those of us who played the beta when it was harder? Lol, Nioh on regular is actually pretty easy and you just suck.

You mean like Ninja Gaiden, God Hand, DMC and similiar games?

PC when?

It will definitely come some time this year.

Certainly not like those, because they are well designed and good.

They have well designed combat and enemies and that's pretty much it. So yeah Nioh is exactely like those (with the added benefit that Nioh has some pretty nice levels).

Wonder what will be different / improved. Hopefully this one will sell me on the game because the previous demo left me a lukewarm feeling.

Yeah, even if they take the exact same time as the original, it would come out December 6th/7th.
