Exactly, that every-5-seconds OCD loot thing in Nioh was just...nope - as was the unecessary bullshit overly complex gameplay system that included using bumpers + 4 different fighting stances, it really felt to me like they went "hey look at our cool fighting systems, we're totally not ape-ing FROM's games !", I just found the whole thing to be obnoxious.
Finished Nioh 1 after 100+hours, tried the demo for 2 and...that was it, I just couldn't do it anymore.
Plus, the level design was also lacking IMO.
Hope this is more Ninja Gaiden /normal action game than another soulsborne half-clone like Nioh was.
Guess we'll have to wait and see...

Did you guys see that circular dodge? They're obviously trying to capture traditional Ba Gua, and that would be just one of the 5 styles. It's not fucking Sekiro lol, jesus.

I know what your saying but combat in Nioh was too good, hopefully for me this is that with all the shit stripped away.

Not it is not, you can play NG like a perfectly normal action game without doing a single parry.Sekiro is a ninja gaiden rip off
Good luck on playing sekiro that way.

OK before anyone mentions BLOODY sekiro again. I don't want ANYONE including FROM to copy that shit.
The gameplay was fun once but it's as shallow as puddle. It's hard and challenging but completely lacking choice and depth.
It was a cool experiment but that's all it should remain. This one trailer shows more gameplay variety than 60 hours in sekiro!

He's purposefully moving around in flowing circular motions like kung fu.
They're going to probably also have hard metal stances and way more weapon variety.

That environment looks sexy as fuck. If they can get FROM software level design I might die.

It does look very good. Traditionally they're not that strong on level design, but this looks like an improvement.

Interestingly ninja gaiden 1 was probably peak level design for Team ninja

So in the ign article there seems likes there some kind of demon souls world tendency going on.
If you play better you get access to more powerful abilities and spells. But if you play badly you degrade and presumably lose spells...shit lol

Really showing off the circular style in this trailer. I bet there's 4 other styles, minimum.
Slightly similar to a Ninja Gaiden head stomp.

Looks great.

Not sure if confirmed, just quoted someone saying it.
Nioh 1 and 2 have a Diablo style loot system where every other enemy basically explodes into a bunch of color coded, randomly generated loot.
If you care about keeping your equipment updated (which you should as the games are challenging) and don't want to run out of inventory space, then at the end of every mission you have to sort through dozens (if not hundreds) of nearly identical items with slightly different stats and perks.
It's one of the few elements of those games I never liked, it's annoying, adds nothing to the game (for me at least), makes exploration unrewarding as finding some well hidden chest will just give you some random crap, and it make you spend more time than needed looking at menus.
Then again I've never liked loot games. I know other people love the loot stuff in Nioh.

Exact quote regarding loot from ign in June
Fans of the Three Kingdoms period are going to want certain weapons for different warlords, and that's definitely something we want to deliver on. But when compared to Nioh, you won't have to constantly upgrade your weapon or armor, and it's not like each enemy will drop an item. It's not the main focus of Wo Long's game design, as we wanted the player to be able to focus on the action more easily. That being said, we do still have a large variety of weapons to choose from," Yasuda said.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Everything in that trailer looked nice.
Not a clue about how the game will play tho. Is this supposed to be open world Nioh?

After Returnal I can handle anything. If it’s done well it won’t be any more punishing than losing souls. I don’t see them saying that you’ll lose spells though.

Its definitely built on Nioh. Probably linear levels with some limited exploration
It's not openworld, it will have the same mission based structure. And seems like it will be more action, with rpg elements toned down.

It’s more structured than Elden Ring and more vertical compared to Nioh.

So somewhat like Nioh but without all the Diablo-like looting?
I'm all in for a linear action game where the action is the main focus. Wishlisted and patiently waiting.

Everything can't possibly release in 2023. If these games don't get delayed 2023 will be a packed year.

Far less retarded char than the one on Nioh? Count me in.
There definitely won't be diablo-like loot system, they clearly said this in interview. We have pretty limited information about other things because there are only one interview and this very short trailer. There will be livestream on TGS so hopefully we will get more in-depth information from there.

I can guarantee you that 2023 will not be as densely packed as you think it is. Just like 2022 where everyone was thinking it was going to be a “packed year.”

That dodge looks so cool!Really showing off the circular style in this trailer. I bet there's 4 other styles, minimum.
(Reminds me of a couple friends that practised Hapkido, they did these small but super controlled fast circular motions avoiding hits and kicks, no slow wide leg stances etc, minimalism to the max, very cool)

You mean like with more fluid movements like a sekiro?

Fluid, faster...
