So is it out in US yet?

 

[Izuna]

So can we all agree that these missions are exactly what us NG fans wanted?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

I wouldn't worry about nerfs, I've just saw two youtubers Spin2Win with a pickaxe, and Living Weapon the shit out of bosses lol.

That said I'll wait to Reddit or Gamefaqs or anyone to sort out what was actually changed before panicking.

Are the new missions for everyone, or just for DLC owners?

Free patch, not related to the DLC.

 

[Deku Tree]

Are the missions just new enemy spawns in the same environments?

 

[Izuna]

So far, they have all been boss rushes for me.

 

[Deku Tree]

yes

 

[Izuna]

It's a little bad that the mission you unlock after the dual fights is so easy and LWable through the entire thing, haha.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

This fucking game!!! Rip hanzo and okatsu

 

[IvorB]

Man, new missions already and I have not even finished what's in the game already. I had to take a small break from gaming after finishing the main quest but ready to dive back in now.

 

[Izuna]

Are you going Samurai or Strong first?

--

lmao at the Tokugawa and Toyotomi nerf, damnn

 

[GamingPheasant]

Sorry Okatsu, even though you roped Hanzo to help, William already has a Waifu. One that can keep him immortal with just a feather. All you have is an Energizer bunny.

 

[Izuna]

Oda + Yasuke fight, barely got out alive. I got lucky.

 

[Deku Tree]

Oh wow the season pass is on sale for $16.74 on PSN. Good time to jump in if you were on the fence.

 

[SephiZack]

How do you make a gif from a video?

What? Does this make it cheaper than preordering the deluxe edition? Damn the DLC is not even out yet D:;

Oh shit, really? Have the $10 credit, but still thought another $15 was a little iffy. Definitely doing it now.

 

[Izuna]

In the middle of a boss fight and the door bell rings. They added a pause? XD so good.

 

[Deku Tree]

Well if you have GCU and you got in on the Visa Check out deal then you could have bought Nioh for $40 and now you can buy the Season pass for $17 so yeah.

I bought the digital deluxe edition for $80 and I'm happy with it.

 

[Fisty]

What the fuck... Man happy for you guys but this shit seriously pisses me off. I already put down the full price and they haven't released a single piece of content.

 

[Caim]

Damn these new missions are great!

 

[Kaako]

I'd be all over this if I didn't already have digital deluxe. Good stuff.
They need to keep em coming somewhat often to keep the mindshare and the game fresh. Need that freshness. Chop chop choppin em up tonight, can't wait.

 

[Izuna]

I'm eating takeaway rn and I hate it, I wanna keep playing ffs

[lawtowler]

Hey quick spoiler question that kind of involves all the previous games?

Spoiler

Without giving anything else away does Drakengard 3 make it so that in Drakengard 2's timeline in 2003 it becomes the same as ending E of Drakengard leading into Nier?

Simple yes or no is fine.

Think you meant to post this in NieR thread?

I have no clue dude

 

[SephiZack]

Spoiler

I died

 

[Izuna]

I think Amrita Gauge recovery while in LW has been buffed.

Also, hahahaha that boss rush that starts with Ogress was super fun

None of these got me on Samurai but Strong is gunna take a little while perhaps.

 

[sh4mike]

Beat all the new missions in WoSa. I'm level 267 and don't plan on trying these out in WoSt yet, they're pretty tricky. =)

I need to work on my parry, would make these much easier.

 

[Kudo]

Team Ninja get a clue, I'm barely finding time to progress in other games and they give us 10 new missions, not that I'm complaining..

 

[xuchu]

GG all way of the strong extra missions done. Gank spanks galore. Got the master missions crusher and speed titles but the others will be quite challenging. Great extra content.

Sick. The double parry.

 

[BuckRobotron]

This is great timing, was just planning to return to this after deciding to finally set aside Nier (love that game) for a little and let 2B and company get some rest.

 

[Merchandise]

Just for fun I attempted the Way of the Strong version of the Gourd mission. Fuck that, HARD. Nah. Just nah. You can't have that many rounds of guys without some kind of checkpoint. Just nope.



Tried it on regular and after all those waves, THEN it makes you fight the two bosses at once? LMFAO.

 

[Bloodporne]

Sick. The double parry.

The double parry was fucking intense...lord.

Good shit.

I did all the Samurai stuff but defo LW cheesed the whole way. I'll go back to the Stong stuff after.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Half way through as level 124 with 150-150+2 weapons, not using any cheese..... the iga best hits was very demanding.

 

[Izuna]

Yeah tbh, Sloth really should have stopped working against bosses. Dunno why they buffed Extraction seemingly.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

I have no idea how to fight OS, so it's annoying he has showed up again !

Yasuke?

Sadly ;( they didn't fix any of these issues with the AI. Second half of the game (and consequently all the non-Sword dojo bosses) can't block Heaven Flash.

--

Extraction buff means that LW is as good when fighting say, a boss, but infinite LW (whole level) won't happen because the it will decrease at a faster rate over time. I consider this to be a SUPER buff.

The Tototomi and Tokugawa nerfs are so welcome.

Yea gonna actually have to go learn his move set before I try it, cause right now I have no idea xD

 

[xuchu]

You can parry his jumping axe strike quite easily. I did that mission by going after nobunaga first. But seeing as you're dual swords, you can use the shrike parry on OS first as it gives you i-frames. Hardest part of the mission for me was actually getting to the N+OS part as it's quite the gauntlet before them on way of the strong. I'm sure you'll get the crusher title eventually.

Maybe speedrun the samurai of sawayama mission if you want to learn OS moveset.

Night falls again wtf xD did I miss a gimmick?

haha, is that the one with the umbrellas and like 10 other aggressive enemies as well, including a tengu? Worst part is that it isn't over after that wave.

 

[GwyndolinCinder]

Edit: well that one was anti climatic

 

[sh4mike]

Holy cow, new missions on WoSt are no joke, even w/ Torii Gate.

Umbrella doing paralysis needles. =p

 

[Hybris]

Season pass that price on NA PSN as well? I'll definitely pick that up when I get home.

 

[Tomeru]

So how big was the nerf to Sword of Execution?

 

[Deku Tree]

Can you pause if you have a visitor?

 

[Hybris]

So how big was the nerf to Sword of Execution?

I'm going to see if I can block the patch when I get home and check the damage difference and post back. Not for a few hours though
