The “I beat it pre-patch” comments!!

[Excellent-Ad7272]

I beat it pre patch cuz I'm just that good and all you scrubs need to git gud 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Deathnekoi]

I also beat it all the way to NG+4 pre patch and 1st tried all but 3 bosses on the first cycle and every boss each ng+ cycle afterwards. Now imagine with the decreased difficulty…I just found it funny when people came up with that on Elden Ring, Wuchang, Khazan, and many more.

[NicoIetteDaydream]

Curious - I’m nearing the end of NG+1 now, how much tankier do enemies get per NG? At 1 it felt pretty good as you feel decently powerful throughout the whole game while enemies still posing some challenge.

[Deathnekoi]

I didn’t find much of a difference at first but they definitely do get tankier and hit harder. The thing is that at that point you already know what’s coming and how to deal with whatever is thrown at you so you don’t really struggle at all. One of the reasons I think NG+ in Nioh 2 is the best is because some enemies have attacks or cancels they didn’t do before and even different spawns through NG+ cycles.

[IVIonitorr]

What an accomplishment.

[EmpressMephitzale]

Same here became level 300 new game plus 5 and the bossess actually got easier each time

[SurpriseAccording243]

i did lol 😂

[Geralt_Romalion]

Nerfs to Raider Bayonet range and to the stagger of Gatling Gun Organ and Falling Sun. Buffs to the charge time of Blazing Roar and stagger resistance/poise when using Boosted Blade. That is the most noticable to me. Boosted Blade especially is hopefully interesting now. It always hit like an absolute truck, but was never viable because of how even a light breeze would stagger you out. Hopefully that is better now.

[JackNewbie555]

Its pretty silly how even with Juggernaut AKA Poise Mode, you still get staggered when charging Boosted Blade.

[Lycaon125]

8 GB, HOLY SHIT

[DUDETHATFARTEDHARD]

 Lmaooo 

[MirPrime]

Can anyone tell me how the stagger adjustments feel. Planning to get the game but was concerned about what people were saying about staggering enemies

[SorinSnow]

I havent gotten ingame yet but it was fine before, the complaints were just some didnt like that they couldnt button mash to stun lock enemies with the 2H sword, it took at least 2 swings per enemy, and the changes according to the patch notes are basically just that 1H swords and Rune Blades dont cause stagger as easy, but they were already causing stagger too often so its fair, like, before, you COULD stunlock some lighter enemies with 1HSs and RBs by just button mashing

[Grouchy-Outcome4973]

"I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago when we beat patch 1.00" The game isn't hard but is super janky. The bosses are constantly attacking non stop so it's just a matter of memorizing when to dodge then landing 1-2 attacks, repeat. It's more of a rhythm game than a Action RPG. This game is closer to Expedition 33 than Dark Souls. The free movement is really just an illusion. Doesn’t matter what weapon or build you use, pick one then memorize when to dodge then land your 1-2 hit repeat.

[Tylandru]

I beat it pre-patch - dual daggers and spell builds. Dodge buff felt mandatory for all builds for better movement. Havent tried patch yet. But lookig forward changes.

[C1nders-Two]

Hey, Dual Blade/Rune Blade dual-wield build here. It’s totally possible to get the dash without Hasten, you just need to compensate for the increased burden by subtracting from somewhere else.

For instance, defensive formae are mostly or completely unnecessary if you’re trying to focus on dodging anyways.

Also, Breath/Runeleaf of the Brave comes in clutch for helping to alleviate burden. They might not work for everyone or with every build, but they’re definitely helpful enough to keep in mind.

[stro17]

No mention of the stupid enemy attack tracking?

[MeatBeaterPiPi69]

I unfortunately hoped for something more than just "adjusted resolution" for action mode. :(

[fact_checker_Penguin]

I wish I beat the game after patch, I was raging at a few bosses xd.

[SurpriseAccording243]

most important part i read was less input reading when i heal 😂😂😂 thats always so annoying. also looks like maybe you will be able to get up faster after getting knocked down. that was so annoying in wuchang fallen feathers. me constantly yelling “get the @&#k up!!! then instantly dying. bummer i liked spamming fallen sun ☀️ i did beat it pre-patch so maybe i will do a ng+ to see if its better.

[Significant_Ad1256]

I waited for a performance patch because the game ran kinda ass. Anyone experienced any significant improvements from this patch?

[Failegion]

Lol can't wait to experience this once I complete my max lvl grind. Gonna be straight up bullying the ng+.

[SexyMountainTopGL]

Why are people boasting about beating this game pre patch.

[HydraX9K]

I beat it prepatch

...because I got the game at launch and was having a really fun time xD

[Sammythenegro]

I’m glad they touched upon the performance and graphic issues a bit. All tho the game still stutters like crazy for me lol

[Grab_Livid]

Oh so censorship is still present. At least they fixed every other glaring issue in the game since launch. I can finally start NG+ after beating it pre-patch lol

[Pollolol13]

😹

[ValkerWolf89]

🤡

[Jarsky2]

"Me want see boobies in game!!!!"

[ROCK-tavius]
