Nioh 3

bad perfirnabcde

Love the gameplay. Love the series. Love the re-playability. Cant play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. FPS drops to 20-30 while exploring. Literally becomes a beautiful slide show when I try to play with others. Sat for a few hours over the weeks playing with settings. Best I could do was a tiny bordered window getting 30fps with somehow input lag. I dont know. Love the series, big fan. Would like to finish the game one day. Maybe after theyre finished doing dlc we can get performance fixes.

So this is undeniably Nioh (3)- a lot of vets are disappointed in that it's bastardized from Nioh 2 and they're correct. Your experience will vary, if you've come from a FromSoft background, you may enjoy sticking to the Ninja playstyle. Ninja plays more a drugged up, more powerful, kitted out version of something from FromSoft. Samurai stance plays just like you'd expect it to- with the small exception of now combos are not just limited to HOLD, AFTER QUICK/HEAVY, there's directional combos in addition now. But there's also small little additions that muddle the amount of tools at your behest, like you can still TRANSFORM like Nioh 2 but it's more a panic button than anything. There's spirit attack, which is the replacement for AMRITA SUMMONS in Nioh 2 which is just a boring extra attack. You can still summon, but now it's a limited, chargeable item you have to go rest for. Oh, and jump attacks/combos etc. Thing here is, the deletions/strange changes don't really make for a "better" game, they make for a game that has TOO much. Yeah, you can ignore Ninja/Samurai mode entirely, but the game constantly drops Ninja(other)-related items/skills/etc. Like literally only eating white bread when there's all different kinds to try out and potentially mix together with sandwiches. The open world design is "open-world" in that you can go anywhere but it's hardly what I'd call an open world. Open Field I think is what they've officially called it and that's correct. This is basically one big level, with corridors splitting off to sections. It kept making me think of how much I miss Rise of the Ronin's (mediocre) actual open world design. Now, that game had a whole host of issues- but apart from being able to play this game entirely together with friends, I'd recommend RotR over this because it's more a traditional open world game, with its own actual fun despite not having real coop play. The Nioh gameplay doesn't suit too well with the OPEN FIELD design- like it works, but it's never exceptional. It doesn't feel natural? [b]I think it's because Nioh works best in tightly designed missions, with cutscenes, story beats, rest spots- here, it just feels like one continuous mission with no cutscenes, you running in a big level with no rest (despite you being able to rest anywhere). I think this game forgets that open world games have to have a REST gameplay mechanic or a home base, or SOMETHING to relax to. Nioh 3 doesn't have any of that. Yeah, you can just, IRL stop playing, afk at a shrine but it's not the same as going home. Talking and checking base with companions. Y'know what I mean?[/b] I've a "beefy" PC build so playing on ULTRA 2k, I didn't have any issues- -Sound design is fine- granted I'm still just past the demo section, and Nioh opens up nearer to the end, but nothing's exciting. -Level design is Team Ninja staple (in that, it's mediocre or bad- it "works") -Animations are recycled, and that's real disappointing, yes there's only so many ways you can swing a katana, but these animations aren't even smoothened out, or redone, nothing from its first iteration from Nioh 1. Look at Bayonetta 1, to 2, to 3. Animations are recycled there yes, but so many more are improved, or changed. That's not to say there aren't small little improvements and additions here. It's just, again, disappointing that so much is the same from Nioh 1 still! -The game never impresses with its artstyle. The graphics are nothing to talk about. It works I guess. (Little rant; I thought they'd learn from Wo Long, Rise of the Ronin but it seems that the failure of those titles, because of their rampant change from the Nioh formula, made Team Ninja back themselves into playing safe with a hybrid style of taking nothing cool from those series, but the open world aspect and full multiplayer. I hope RotR2 is in development, cause I loved that game, or at least a successor) [b]TLDR: It's Nioh but 3, they tried a lot of new stuff, rearranged old stuff, removed things. You may enjoy it, you may not- unfortunately, Nioh 3 just doesn't impress me.[/b]

tl;dr: Great co-op experience just like the other two Nioh games. Nioh 3's open-world was talked about a lot when it was originally revealed and while the first map definitely caters to that (in the sense that after you destroy the first Crucible area, you're left with multiple paths to take on in any order), the other maps didn't even try bothering, only giving you a split in the fork at best. Hell, a lot of times it just felt like you were going from one very similar looking area to another in a very linear fashion, despite it being lauded as an open-world. If you've played the original Nioh games, it's like if they took the Mission areas and just put them on top of each other instead of making you do missions. Now don't get me wrong, personally I don't care for open-world much, but I just don't think Nioh 3 is a proper open world. Next thing to talk about is splitting into Samurai and Ninja styles. While it was controversial for some, and I definitely didn't like it it at first either, it eventually grew on me. Mostly because it allows you to set up two different builds at once with different weapons (though it still makes me cry that my sickle weapon has no High Stance). Personally, I stuck to Samurai style the most because Deflecting was awesome, but I occasionaly switched around, especially when unlocking the Crucible Arts. And I especially like that Ninja Tools regenerate rather than a limited stock like they were in the original (where they would compete for shortcut slots as well). Speaking of combat, definitely feels like the most robust of the 3 Nioh games. While I don't think the deflect matches the heights of Sekiro or Wo Long, for a Nioh game, it's definitely up there and was very satisfying to pull it off when a boss is pulling some big ass explosion move on you. Gameplay was very fun, as expected. Bosses were (mostly) great. Lots of cool Yokais, but, and I can't stress this enough, very very limited amount of Yokai variety. It genuinely feels like at a certain point that you're fighting the same enemy over and over again and hell I think the last 2 areas don't even have original Yokais of their own which is a crying shame. They didn't even port every base Yokai from the older games. Now remember, due to the scope of this game, it's a far bigger game than the original Nioh games, this means you'll be facing the same chump multiple times over and over again and that definitely gets tiring. I personally played this game with friends and I still stand by the sentiment that Nioh is best played with homies, unless you're one of those autistic people who spend 10k hours in one game making 500 builds and then posting one-shot build videos on YouTube. Just have fun slaughtering Yokai with friends and you'll have a blast

This is just the best Nioh game ever. Pure master class. Waiting for the dlc

建议仁王制作组原地解散，三代了画面还是这么狗屎，boss动作设计还是这么垃圾，地图设计还是那么蠢，一天到晚用快慢刀，高频率的攻击来恶心人。3代了还是毫无进步，你们这个制作组根本没有任何必要再留在游戏行业了，早点转行吧

The performance is absolutely garbage. There is a VRAM leak no matter what you do. The vram usage slowly climbs up even at low settings, which is lovely :) that they are not fixing it. The combat is satisfying, but however the graphics are terrible. The CPU screams when you play. Overall, I do not recommend this game unless they fix the performances for PC. The game doesn’t worth 80euro.
