>Nioh isn't a soulslike! Yeah your currency and XP are the same and you lose it when you but you have a chance to recover it, and the levels loop back onto themselves and theres a dodge button with Iframes but it has STANCES and DIABLO loot. That means even though it obviously was inspired by Dark Souls it ISNT a soulslike!!!!!

Certainly not used together

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jian

it's a fantasy video game and you claimed that "china never used or had straight swords"
you're jumping between goalposts

Cope. Just accept it, Nioh would have never been made without Souls. Its a Soulslike. Miyazaki is your father

Looks like a cultural game to me, not fantasy

cope with what?
>Nioh would have never been made without Souls
i know, and dark souls would never have been made without zelda. dark souls is a zeldalike
>Miyazaki is your father
no prob, BB and sekiro are my two fav games of all time
it's both, mythology is often a big part of culture

If there's a mod that completely reworks the Yokai designs I'd buy Nioh 2 in a heartbeat

Yeah mythology is culture, so it's a culture game, not fantasy

okay, what on earth is your point? what are you going on about?

Again. You are coping. Why are you so insecure? Nioh is a soulslike (or even a soulslite). Its nothing to be ashamed of

That Chinese never dual wielded a sword and shield

cope with what? i don't understand, i didn't make nioh
and your point is?

Either in mythology or real life.

Nioh is a soulslike

again, what is your point?
you're free to feel that way

Elden Ring is a Niohlike

It's obvious, it needs correction.

I mean I hope it's good, but I fear it's going to just be a really shitty attempt to copy Sekiro "in their own way". But instead of really trying to polish 1 aspect of Souls combat into it's own game, like Sekiro, they're just making a button-mash game with the alleged "morale" gimmick that just sounds like a lame attempt to "normalize" difficulty.
Before anyone asks:
>user creates thread about "friend" who is playtesting game
>Sounds generic
>the different "Acts" like Nioh1/2 are different eras before, leading into, and during the "Three-Larps" era. Starting in the Yellow Turban rebellion in Act1
>"Morale" system that makes enemies more aggressive the more of them you avoid
>They become less aggressive or outright flee if you kill alot of them
My expectations, however, are not high.

I expect chink Nioh and that's what I'm gonna get, buying it day 1.

you can send a email to the devs if you like
