Nioh Alpha Demo - A little sth sth
1the about 10 days of open alpha of Nioh, and the stuff I recorded for it.
Oh my equipment broke.
the vid===================
a) 180° no aim bow kill.
b) despite the jump animation, Mr. Muscle's hitbox never leave the ground. Also the active frame on the grab came out way earlier than It looked.
c) some ladder cheese strategy. Falling down deals greater damage than a giant effing hammer to the head.
d) some hammer phantom cheese strategy. The phantom of other weapon types can be outranged by spear (didn't bother to record).
e) tried figuring out the ki pulse mechanic. Doesn't make sense much. I suppose it has sth to do with ki recovery speed, but I don't feel any difference.
a little sth sth
=========================
I suppose I'm just not the target audience for this game. I like the setting, hated everything else in this game.
This game feels like a big middle finger to the Souls' series. Stupid difficulty without reason, fine. Shortcut based level design, fine. Everything else feel like it can be removed and the game may just be better off that way. I'm just not feeling the mechanics are in place because they're necessary, rather because there's a cult following for that.
Why does equipment add to the carry load but two giant hammers do not? Why do my chicken and level-up currency reside in my grave but my money is still in my pocket? Why does stamina penalty take effect on the next action with empty stamina instead of the last action that empties the stamina? Why does the same type of weapon/equipment have different requirements to wield them? Oh my equipment broke.
Of all the things the game copies, they forgot to copy the weapon tracking as this game can't track shit even when locked-on with the left stick neutral. Also no vertical tracking means that for once, it is detrimental to have the high ground, given the moveset.
Another issue I have is the fancy in-game font for damage overlay. It's not legible nor suitable for its purpose, for me anyways.
I explored all the obvious areas, open all shortcuts, got the 1st boss to part with his balls yet it still has 80% of health left. Died, my equipment broke.
Summoned my chicken, broke the boss's horn and immediately chickened off. Forgot to record as I died. My equipment broke.
Killed every demon, got a bonus line of dialogue, got pummeled by the boss. My equipment broke.
Summoned the same dude 3 times in a row, the boss gave Mr Muscle a nice massage. My equipment broke.
Pumped Mr Muscle to level 20, still no damage. My equipment broke.
I stopped playing. Apparently there's a 2nd boss. My equipment broke.
