Out of nowhere (at least for me) this is coming out in 2 days? Should I be hyped? Loved the original..
More of the same sounds at least entertaining. Is the demo still on psn? Have to check it out then.The demo was decent. More of the same, but with some interesting combat additions.

I liked Niohs gameplay far more than Sekiro's honestly. But Im a fan of Team Ninja games.I found the first one to be a bit boring but I'll still check this out. After Sekiro though... I don't expect miracles. It looks a bit too anime anyway, with all the special effects going on all the time.
Ah, so not my old age thenI'm finding it freakishly hard
Yeah, i've died multiple times by clearly finishing something off with a strong attack from my Odachi, but somehow going right through and whiffing.It's showing promise, I'm hoping the half demon shadow step can promote a new level of combat. But...
Ugh it badly suffers from the same thing Sekiro and all the more recent souls-like games do, fake difficulty.
Fight that first big demon thing and bait the charge or the big swing. Then don't even dodge, go to one side and wait for the point of contact, then dodge. If you time it right, you can literally see the frame of animation flip. Along with the depressingly cheap lack of wind up to moves that he also does with a wind up, and you can see what people mean about aimbotting and cheap tactics to try to artificially boost difficulty.
It's such a shame too, because that is a great fight when it flows, his attacks are about right for a big beast.
Also, this will surely get a patch soon. The collision detection is all over the place (spears and geometry are particularly broken) and it has weird issues with controller latency.

Think part of the unfair thing is devs feeling the need to make these games ever more difficult. At some point you reach a limit of fair difficulty. Some of the levels where the little flying heads hit you from off screen are a bit lame too. I mean sure, you can try and keep them in your view, but it feels like a deliberate hindrance while fighting. At least they do feck all damage.
Combat feels cool though, might get me through this covid lockdown untill ff7.
The everything bigger than you has super armour on everything is lame. All these fancy combos nothing to actually do em on. I also thought a few times, this game is awesome when fighting humans.Gotta be honest, I'm not enjoying this much at all. I'm trying to like it, but found myself bored more often than not.
There's just way too much that slows the combat down and the way even the weakest of enemy can break even your strongest of moves doesn't help. It seems like they've lost the identity of what they went for in the first game, it's already a chore.
Oh and as per usual combat against anything other than a human is just tedious and boring.

Im easy to please though, I enjoy it a lot. It's no 2 point hospital though.
I can add you for some coop later on perhaps. My ID is something like Mr_Duck? Something with Duck thats for sure.My PSN ID is Alexanderdenmark is someone wants to hook up and coop.
Yeah it's similar. Think the difference with From games that there's more combo's and it's more chaotic.I didn't like the difficulty in the first one, and I've played all From soft games, the difficulty is on a whole different level in the first and I didn't like most of the designs, is it the same here? I'm very intrigued by this.

I dont really like the loot system though.
If you didnt like the first, I doubt you'll like this honestly.
But I liked Sekiro even though it was very fast paced so I doubt that's it.I think it's probably more you being used to rhe souls games. These are faster paced button mashers if anything.
It's definitely cheaper and more frustrating than the first one though.
Yep.
And yeah the loot system and inventory are trash.
But I liked Sekiro even though it was very fast paced so I doubt that's it.
How is Sekiro not fast paced? You can pretty much kill a boss in 2-3 mins.Sekiro isn't fast paced at all, not in the same way these are anyway, the combat in that is way more methodical for a start. They are two completely different games.

It seems like design choices to me honestly. Though I suppose even those can be changed.The balancing is way off with regards to enemy attacks and armour, it's almost like there's issues with the values being reversed. Also the stances are much less important in this, in fact enemies can always walk through your hardest hits on high now too, which makes it almost entirely pointless bothering with anything other than medium.
I'm hoping these are issues they'll tweak rather than in by design, as if so, it's cheap dogshite
Im playing the first one. The rest of the game is great so far but the bosses are absurd.
They're a bit shit so far. I'm only my second to be fair, but it's this lady who flies and electrifies you. I've liked the general gameplay but the bosses seem silly difficult rather than awesome difficult.I'm trying to remember them all, the big blob one was mildly annoying but I can't really picture others. Can't have been that memorable

I hate they went full Sekiro in terms of difficulty in this one. It breaks the game for people who are not just able to git gud.
Unfortunately it's not about git gud on this one, it's just cheap.
If you really want, the single sword and the stab on medium stance, with the ki draining kick at the end will feck the game up just like the first one. But it's very boring that way.
Oh and those core soul things are terrible, but the R2+O thing when they flash red is OP with a feral guardian because even if you miss (and you won't after 5mins of practice) you dodge just fine.
Don't think that shit sword shit works on the bosses.
