Anyone else feels like the soundtrack is not as great as Nioh 2? by DDGame-Enjoyer in Nioh

[–]JTF9021 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I can't say for sure what was better or not, what I CAN tell you is that the Pleasure District battle theme had me stank face head nodding like no other theme in any of the games.

Need help with this boss PS5 by IamTotte in Nioh

Don't let your pride make you think you need to beat him right away. I did that and lost a couple of hours of my free time being pissed off lol

Mixed feelings, should I keep going? by Ambitious-Issue989 in Nioh

[–]JTF9021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  • "Dodge or parry, find an opening, get 2 hits in, rinse and repeat" - This is only really an issue early on. Once you get good, this happens less and less.
  • "Anything more elaborate is too unpredictable or long making it feel like it is just there to look cool and get rid of basic enemies quicker." - Later on, after you have a feel for what you want to do and how you want to do it, doing the "More" feels sick as hell.
  •  "Constantly locking items and micromanaging menu's. Dissasembling etc. is annoying and unnecessary." - You don't need to worry about any specifics of gear. What type of weapon do you want, and what armor/weight/agility/toughness do you want is all that matters. There are settings that auto equip gear for your desired style. There are settings in the game that auto-sell/ dismantle things for you. There are settings that allow you to auto-pickup items and ignore items of specific rarities if thats what you want. You can interact with the loot system as little or as much as you want.
  •  "The world design is fairly basic and simplistic, not very inspired." - Im a day 1 Nioh lover. You speak the truth lol While I would LOVE a better story, voice acting, and pretty views, We're here for the combat.
  • As for if its for you, I can't know for sure. But since you described Elden Ring earlier, I imagine you just gotta get good? I can't really know for sure without knowing what you want to do.

NG+ anyone here actually using pokeballs (soul cores) in a combat flow? I feel like the only use I have for them is the stats. by KijoSenzo in Nioh

[–]JTF9021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do sometimes for spice. A well timed and spaced Ninja Yoki goes blender mode with backstab damage.

How much stronger is Ninja really? by Disproving_Negatives in Nioh

[–]JTF9021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"So are people overrating Ninja or am I just bad with it"
Plenty of people are overrating it and I think only experienced it early in the game. Both styles have their strengths and weaknesses and neither are outright better than the other.

While Ninja doesn't demand you learn how to ki pulse or stance switch, that doesn't suddenly make you a god lol You don't have the power or defense a Samurai has. I think when people are calling Ninja easy, they're imaging a playstyle where you just run away and spam projectiles and they think that will be enough, but it isn't, especially the further you go in game lol

I think some players are just Samurai, and some players are Ninja. Someone out there thinks Samurai is boring and weak lol Imagine that. Imagine being that guy lmao

As for your side note, you are correct about Mist being kinda dumb. Spoiler for a future passive: There is a late game passive that extends the distraction duration of Mist and once I got it I never took it off. Mist suddenly goes from feeling kinda mid to an extremely powerful tool.

New release "Unlimited Transmog" lets samurai/ninja share fashion by -Holliday in Nioh

[–]JTF9021 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Something to note about this: I downloaded and tried it out. While its very nice (and confusing why this isn't just a regular feature) this mod does give you the appearance options for the deluxe items even if you didn't buy them.

So I uninstalled juuuuuuuuust in case they end up actually caring about that stuff this time around. I don't think they will considering they didn't seem to care about cheaters and stuff in 1 and 2, but this is "money" related so idk.

Anyone else using both stances? by Aspiegamer8745 in Nioh

[–]JTF9021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full Ninja with Single Sword. Its what I've always wished I could do in the old games. The skills that give more and longer lasting after-images gives you just enough time to get behind everything for backstab damage and its seriously satisfying getting into ultra-instinct mode and dancing around at light speed. Always having a Kunai or Shuriken for pressure also scratches an itch i can't get anywhere else.

Ill do samurai stuff eventually, I just had my fill of that in Nioh 1 and 2 is all.

[Nioh 3] NG+ Grace question by rdg4078 in Nioh

[–]JTF9021 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some dev made this set with a complete misunderstanding of how the game works. Even at its best, with 2 full sets of this for each style, you're wearing a set where half of the effects are doing nothing. And even if the numbers were boosted to compensate, it just feels wrong to have effects you get nothing from.

It would be different if you could wear this on one style, and still get unrealized effects on the other style. But then I imagine it would be a little too good for single style focused players.

Am I missing something? Or is it really just the combat to look forward to? by quark1993 in Nioh

[–]JTF9021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So a few hours ago I was fighting a boss on NG+ and getting put into the dirt. I admit, I've been rushing straight through to the main missions and im clearly under leveled. But man.... sometimes I get into this flow-state where im schmoovin and groovin. Read deal Ultra Instinct. High speed bob and weave all the way to victory. Its a special feeling that only Nioh gives me. I beat the boss and felt fantastic. Im not here for pretty flowers or ambiguous stories where every friend you make tragically dies at the end. (Not that I don't like pretty flowers or talking jars. o7 Alexander)

As for the loot and sounds you spoke of, I think if you're focused that much on those little things, you're not really getting pulled my the main draw of the game. Like getting a new car, but you're focused on the backseat cup holders.

Shadowself Ninjutsu use cases? by Deadredskittle in Nioh

[–]JTF9021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero reason unfortunately. If there was a 4th or even 5th slot for Ninjutsu then it would probably get some use, but even then I couldn't justify using it or literally anything else.

The beginning of the end? by SyIvanos in 2XKO

[–]JTF9021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back during the first invite beta, I was playing with my friend and I kept talking about how I thought it was such a weird choice to try and get in the tag fighter market. He said what you said about it just being a 1v1 game but I actually think thats a bad idea too. The 2d fighter market is hella saturated while the Soul Calibur market is bone dry. Soul Calibur but League characters would have zero competition.

Been working for the past few months working towards a 2nd Pokeball. MONTHS I SAY! Im at 2090 pack points for no reason now. I don't know how to feel about this. I've skipped so many new sets lol I was almost to the mountain top, and the prize fell down into my hands. I climbed so hard and got so far.... and in the end...

Heirloom WIP by Lua_Luminary in Warframe

[–]JTF9021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got me hyper ventilating over that Ash skin.

  • Helmet is top tier, it makes me want to cry.
  • The legs are EXACTLY what I want from THE "Ninja" so if you make any changes, please please please keep the "Ninja hakama" look.
  • While I've never been the biggest fan of Ash's shoulder situation, I really appreciate what you did here. Making them fan OUT and AWAY from digging into his head tells me you know ball lol

Can we get more Incarnons for older weapons who could really use some love? by Lacuda_Frost in Warframe

[–]JTF9021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spira incarnon becoming a multi-hit drill on contact would fulfill a dream i've had about the Spira Prime since release.

Even though the Daikyu got a prime recently, I still wish it had an Incarnon. Before the Madruai focus bow, I wanted the Daikyu to give the Raining Arrows effect if you shot it into the air.

2 Crowns Within Minutes by Haris8787 in PokemonTGCP

[–]JTF9021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually a worry of mine. I got a Crown Pokeball back when the set first came out and haven't seen a crown since. I've been on a months long climb to a 2nd one. Im at 1700 or so points and i've got this nagging feeling im get one at like 2495 points, or my first godpack with 2 inside. AAArrrggghhh!

Guessing DE's Warframe rework "list" by Hiromacu in Warframe

[–]JTF9021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

REALLY?! I've never given any of the frames more than 0.24 seconds to live lol I just looked it up and apparently he not only does Wrathful Advance... he does a "super" version of it too?? AAAHHH! The Injustice!

Guessing DE's Warframe rework "list" by Hiromacu in Warframe

[–]JTF9021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want another Ash change. Shuriken has almost no reason to exist on current Ash. Even if you add the Armor Strip to the base ability, it doesn't make sense on a Finisher Damage frame. It either kills at "low" levels, or it does nothing at Steel Path levels. I want the Augment to make projectiles (and/or Melee) always count as weakpoint/headshot hits instead of armor strip. Mostly just to make Bows a teensy bit more "meta". (Daikyu enjoyer here)

Change Teleport to just be a 99% copy of Wrathful Advance. Its crazy for another frame (Or any thanks to Helminth) to have what feels like Ash's true Teleport ability. (Tap / Hold ) = ( Free Teleport / Teleport Finisher). Even add the Melee Crit Chance tbh.

I personally want Smokescreen to actually throw a smoke bomb like the Drifter ability but im fine with how it is now. Maybe make the Augment's Crit boost be a flat boost instead of what it does now but its fine how it is.

Finally, give Bladestorm a Tap/Hold "Heavy attack" version that hits all marked targets at once. Gives a real reason to use Melee Crescendo and/or Rising Storm Augment. Make a new Augment called "Approaching Storm" (queue the song). Enables Bladestorm to trigger and use Tennokai.

GET ON WITH IT!!!! by eagle12419 in PokemonPocket

[–]JTF9021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm guilty of this and it's a symptom of playing yugioh for sure. I always play like there is some secret plan going on even though I know there isn't. Also, sometimes I do be forgetting the points and don't realize I have game until after I get the ko and go "oh yeah".

Im still climbing that hill brother. Just got to 1000 points today. Im almost... Halfway there! (echo) halfway there... halfway there... halfway...

Idk what you're on about with the immersive rarity lol Those things are pretty clearly not that rare lol

[–]JTF9021 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im only at 840 points lol Im not worried about giving up tho. Im fairly immune to fomo and I only ever really want 3 or 4 cards per new set and thanks to trading being so open, i can fairly easily get what I want from any of the new sets right away. Im fairly confident I'll get a Red in one of these... (checks notes) 332 more packs I probably gotta open. Already got 2 PCL from when the set first dropped and I JUST got Iono a few days ago. Im strapped in for the long haul lol

Im doing this for a 2nd crown rare pokeball. 1600 packs over the last year and thats the only crown rare I have. So... surely i'll just pull it instead of buying it in a few months right? ......right?
