| Topic | When does Nioh get good? |
| The_Scarecrow 01/22/18 8:43:42 PM #1: | Let me clarify. The combat system of the game is great. From purely a gameplay perspective, Nioh delivers. Almost everything else falls kind of flat as of where I am in the game currently (Umi-Bozu which might still be considered early). The story in this game isn't very interesting so far. From what I gather, William has to go get his spiritfu back while slaying yokai in Japan. Perhaps it will pick up eventually. Characters aren't very interesting, either. I really don't like the loot system this game has going for it. Most of the gear I pick up is completely useless. I also don't like the environments. I know a lot of people do this and I'm going to do it, too. I honestly think the environments in Dark Souls and Bloodborne are far superior so far. That may be due to Nioh being mission based, though. I'm not going to say anything about enemy variety. I hope more enemies are introduced later in the game. It's already boring fighting the same 6 enemy types over and over again but I may still be in early game. My biggest issue with Nioh is the boss battles. Yeah, "git gud TC". Whatever. Listen, Hino-Enma, the bat yokai lady, was the only boss fight I truly enjoyed. A lot of these boss fights lack the presentation, music, and atmosphere of the Soulsbourne games. Furthermore, these fights are bullshit. The optional fight with Tachibana Muneshige? Fun, but completely unfair. There were times where the boss ignored the rules of the game like the stamina system for instance. The fight with The Great Centipede was one of the worst designed boss fights I've seen in a long time. The idea was cool but it was executed poorly. Not even going to comment on Umi-Bozu. Cheap bastard. I know how to beat him easily now but he's still full of shit. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
