I've feel like the developers for both Nioh and For Honor have the same problem- that is to say two fanbase on opposite ends.
In For Honor it's between people who feels that assassin class characters have all the advantage, and people who thinks that defensive play is unbeatable at high levels.
In Nioh, you got people who thinks the game is too difficult and people who thinks the game is too easy. And later you're going to have the PvP crowd as well so that's another nightmare to balance.
EDIT: Of course, the solution is difficulty mode. But I can imagine people being too proud to reduce difficulty and we'll still the same same complaints of "Cheap, broken, impossible, unbeatable enemies!"

Yeah he drops it.
Well you never know if they'll give you clean slate characters with set points to pick from as a separation between the two.

I can parry in co-op just fine. Their netcode is pretty damn good. I don't see why it would be any different in pvp.
And I'm really hoping that pvp is a separate arena mode where all characters are normalized and a lot of shit is disabled or it will be a complete shitshow.
For example, what the hell is the point of dodging behind someone who over commits to a big attack if they can just hold L1 and guard omnidirectionally.
What nerfing?

I assume he's referring to the nerfing of the difficulty. A lot of groups of enemies got pulled out or changed to easier groups going from the three demos to the final game.
He was a boss in FFX as far as I can recall.

A badass Samurai flick.
The alpha, beta and last chance areas were all heavily nerfed.
Yeah I remember having lot of trouble playing the beta and only got to a second shrine I think. With the full game I cruised through the whole level very easily outside of the boss. Same with the levels in alpha. Also the Spirit Stone Slumbers level was filled with enemies and was really nuts compared to what we got.

After seeing the butchery that occurred in the
mission, I really don't get why they didn't just turn down the damage numbers across the board instead of draining the level of enemies entirely if the difficulty was the issue.
Was in response to the nerf posts by the way, not still ranting from the last page haha.

Depends on how you introduce difficulty. Just making enemies hit harder and take a ton of hits is not a good way to increase difficulty. Souls games largely handle difficulty with enemy placement and hard to predict enemy moves. NG+ modes largely just compensate your weapon level and stats.
I think Nioh has enough enemies that can take lots of hits to take down but most enemies have a very limited moveset that doesn't cover a lot of bases as you can usually just dodge behind them.

Dude tried to bankrupt me every time I summoned him.
Seems like many of the missing elements were spread between Normal, Twilight, NG+, Twilight NG+, and Torii.

Thought it was reward from the mission myself, got it on my first go.
Shouldn't be too rare, good luck.
Oh yeah he was a summon not a boss. My friend said he used to pay him money and he would go amazing things for him.
Yeah, unlike souls, I for some reason don't have any expectation of where I am gonna be summoned, I guess is because the levels are isolated, so it makes more sense in my head that someone also wants to summon for a level instead of just a boss.
That reminds me though, when I was playing Bloodborne and got summoned at the Nightmare of Mensis right before the boss, but the player was nowhere near, I searched for them and the finally found them, accompanied them until they summoned a third player, who was, I assume, also near to the boss, which we weren't close to. We made our way over there, but shortly hear the player dying, I think they just felt through the elevator lol

Can someone give me a list of all smithing texts, where they are to be found and what they unlock?
I would like to know which of them I already have and where I have to farm the remaining.

Oi, Zack, I love your videos, but come on man. EVERY TIME: oNmyo not omnyo.
I don't think anyone has that info. Not even the wiki.
Oh shit I have never noticed and nobody ever told me xD Gotta change everything

Did you also set your kodama blessing to Weapon drop rate?
I also wear a kodama bowl when I farm them.

Are there stat caps? Wondering at what point I should stop focusing on certain stats.
AmethystEnd

Nope. You can level all the way to 99 in every stat.
Read this for more information though:

Kingo is probably best, as katana builds tend to be back attack focused due to how absurd Sword of Execution is.

For those who don't know, Sergion Leone's spaghetti western A Fistfull of Dollars (with Clint Eastwood) is a remake of Yojimbo.
And a bunch of other movies too. Basically any lone hired gun is based on yojimbo. Pretty much every kurosawa movie was remade. Star wars, even the godfather are loosely based on a few
Wait, the Kodama blessing even affects missions with no shrine present?
I do enough math in my school life, I don't have the effort to do it in real life. A percentage suffices, thanks doe!

Not the same league of quality but the Lone Wolf & Cub series sure is entertaining and great. Referring to the films here, never read the comics.
Chaos2Frozen

Okay, which dual katana skill is "Moon Shadow"? Unless I'm completely blind I can't find it on the fextralite wiki :v
The comics are surprisingly good. Most of it is ridiculous violence and nudity for the sake of nudity but there's occasional great storytelling there. The chapter about the elderly assassins sent to kill Ogami Itto was a fantastic, self-contained short story.

If an enemy deflects your attack, you automatically fancy pants move to their back for an attack. Not really a fan of it myself, as taking away control has lead to being hit several times.
Speaking of skills, god of wind can make human bosses a joke, I mean damn. Huge Ki damage.
Chaos2Frozen
Member
Thanks and yes God of Wind III is amazing. The best part is even if the kick is blocked, the double slash could still be combo'd from it.
Frankly, I wish all combo chains don't break when you hit a guard. Guarding right now is quite strong against everything but big boss attacks.
Or at least give us a guardbreak move like in DS.
And this is why I love my 91 Break Hinomotogo + Enko combo. You want to block? Okay, go ahead. Say goodbye to your Ki.
It makes people like Tachibana a joke.

i wonder if the high difficulty mission dlc will be part alpha/beta maps. those were clearly more difficult.
Chaos2Frozen

That was the case for Souls as well, most enemies can be circumvented by dodging through their attacks and hitting them in the back. Souls have a lot of 'variety' but most of those don't actually have difficult moves.
So anyway back to Nioh, Youkai are easy to make interesting since you can get them to do whatever and make them crazy looking. So for human enemies I think the way to go is to make them progressively more like the player characters. For example:
1) Bandits - only uses mid stances
2) Bandit Leader - uses all stances
3) Samurai - uses all stances, parries
4) Samurai Elite - uses all three stances, parries and some skills
5) Samurai Commander - uses Ki pulse, all stances, all skills
This can extend to Ninja, Onmyouji, or hell even warrior monks

Fuck you Tengu. Eat my Sloth shithead
Finally got the platinum last night!
I've been rolling around in 7/7 Obsidian Samurai set +3 and loving it so far. Got the smithing text for Nobunagas set too, even though I already have all of those pieces with crappy inheritables.
Definitely a strong contender for GOTY. Q1 gaming releases for 2017 have been insane.
