Good game despite the shitty performance

Wo-Long is good, but it can't compete with Nioh. RotR is not really an action game. It's an ubisoft game with light action combat.

Stretched very thin, combat is a mess but thankfully so they made it very forgiving to make up for it.
It's really missing those high peaks that Nioh 1 and 2 had, but I can't say I'm not enjoying the game in a casual way.

Loved the combat. Unlocking more weapons, styles, and martial arts over time gives the game a good feeling of progression. Wish there were more epic, high spectacle boss fights. The double boss fights were usually annoying as fuck.

Ronin for sure if you like the human boss fights in Nioh games.

I don't really care for it
Combat is okay in concept, but the execution is bad
No cool weapons
No demons to fight, just humans and some dogs or whatever

They should just make nioh 3, or a game like it set in medieval europe or whatever, just give me mythological things to fight and cool weapons and magic n shit, not this semi-realism
The affinity thing can stay though, but only if they add qt non-human waifus like mama from nioh 2

A frustrating game, it's TNs biggest game yet and is also a total mess design wise, i hope if the rumours are true and Nioh 3 is next they take nothing from this one.

The real option is SOP, Wolong is alright though simplified but Ronin doesn't play like Nioh at all, it's also got no gear game or playstyle variety.

No cool weapons

Ahem.

And it somehow manages to not be cool
Though that could be blamed on the fact that katana got all the movesets and everything else barely got one for each stance

it's not cool because...it's just not, okay?!

Retard.

Concession accepted

NTA but i was really disappointed with this weapon especially compared to SOPs gun, maybe it could have shined if there was an actual geargame or if the parry wasn't so strong that it makes every weapon feel the same.

European weapons are the most fun

Really makes me think.

I wish for a Wo Long 2 developed by the main team because I know the Three Kingdoms period like the back of my hand whereas I don't know shit about the Sengoku Jidai.

This is arguably why I want a non-japanese nioh-esque.
Japanese weapons are too limited, its just katana, big katana or small katana on stick. The most interesting weapons nioh had were the switchglaive which is a mental idea and the fists, tonfa gun is cool too.
I just feel like the magic is gone and we could use a world with giant flails/ball and chains n shit

I want Wo-Long 2. But without the banner hunt.
And no morale.

Very fun game. Started taking interest in making my character act as a ninja while continuing to progress through Midnight Mode. Oddly feels like we haven't had a proper "run across rooftops and take out enemies by stealth" ninja experience in a very long time despite the fact that both this and the newest Ass Creed came out in the same month.

It's set in bakumatsu not sengoku judai, but i get you bakumatsu period game is rare hence not many know about that period

it was good. Personally I don't understand why some people insist that 4 is better.

Great combat but the story was too long. The post-game is literally all I wanted but by the time I got to it I needed a break

It's there in part to encourage you to switch stances mid-combo. Violent strikes or whatever it's called is OP and lets you stunlock with infinite combos

I liked it. Have not replayed it after upgrading my CPU, though.

I can play as bigtittedbimbosamurai,
74/10
game of century

The RPS system also sucks ass and is completely unnecessary. Stance switching is already encouraged enough

I wish I came across these kind of slutty Ronins in my game more, especially since I'm using a nude mod and don't play as a female character myself

Is Nioh 2 not sengoku with how you're just following Nobunaga around winning his victories for him while he takes all the credit?
On a side note what period does the Samurai Warriors games cover?

Nioh is in sengoku, SW is the same, RotR is bakumatsu which lead to meiji restoration same with WotS 4
More weapon customization and for me personally the amount of combat style it had, and their separation between weapon and combat style, also harem dojo lmao

Thankfully on midnight the prodigious dragon set negate the RPS system, and also the bonus duration is long enough for you to not always do violent gale every second

Extremely flawed game
The open world and its atmosphere are impressive, but the locations are like a wet fart with the 5 enemies the game has. Exploring just really isn't that fun especially not for a game with combat like this. Game could have been great just sticking to their linear level designs from previous games.
Then there's the style system which is just kind of sad. All of them feel samey, don't feel good to switch between on the fly, and katana has more than all the other weapons. The RPS mechanic makes it even more lame. The gear being saddest it's ever been is just the diarrhea icing on the crap cake.

Hate playing it, it somehow ended up being a janky mess that is less fun than Wo Long. Also lost to Nigreign lol.

After Wolong and Ronin both sellling worse than nioh, do you think TN have realized that nobody wants Nioh but simpler

All Nioh and Samurai Warriors games are set in the 1500s/1600s Sengoku period. RotR is late Edo period in the 1800s where the main focus is on the uprising that resulted from the Tokugawa Shogunate allowing American foreigners to have some influence over Japan.

Yeah it's definitely the custom weapons and styles, expanded number of styles, free British loli gf. Also love how cartoonishly evil the villain is boiling people alive.

They are making a new Ninja gaiden despite the remasters flopping so who knows...

Lol they're not developing any of NG4, it's all platinum aside from the co director (who directed Wolong LOL)

The story is definitely one of the major complaint by some people but i think personally it's very beautiful where the joui and the brits joined forces vs evil kinugawa. Also it had the coolest cat count Jet Jenkins

all you do is yes yes yes wait wait wait

be twin

fight MC

all you do is why you resist my offer why you resist offer why you resist offer

This is your bakumatsu vergil lmao

How hard can it be to learn 6 moves for your two weapons ? Otherwise, just use guns for easier stunlock.
Also, this game is unexpectedly historically autistic about period which is damn nice. Aside from playersexuality of bonds this game made me read up on bakumatsu.

jewnose for what? what's the appeal?

Use tatsumi if you're really bad at timing also tatsumi rulez because of rule of cool. I prefer learn the enemy animation instead because when you got the timing right even using shinobi style i won't be a problem

The only open world game that didn't overstay its welcome

I thought some character were fictional at first but they're real, i never heard of felix beato but he's real also his bond mission is based on real stuff "Panorama of Yedo from Atagoyama"

None of these are that good, you should play Stranger of Paradise.

Nothing will ever beat nioh 2 mama

Overrated memeslop

How easy is it to make the NG girls in this game?

It was comfy as fuck but i really wish they did a DLC to flesh it out.
One big missed opportunity is inability to use your NPC friends during the free roam, i'd like to just chill and clear random camps with Sana or ninja bros.

I liked it.

Easy if you understand the sliders BUT it will never be as close as KT other game, basic preset for male include William and Jack and the female one had marie rose that i recognize

Definitely need more combat moveset

Who did you romance, Anon Babble?

Everyone that's okay with polygamy. Personal pick either Sana or Ine, i like sana's scream when you beating her mercilessly in dojo

Better combat than wolong, but the ubislop open world is boring as shit and brings the game down

They reused Wo Long character model, so not much.

Ironically Sana and Ine are the only females here that aren't okay with that. They will actually break up with you if you don't break up with the others (Taka being the exception due to story reasons).

Taka dies

appear anyway in longhouse

can talk to her just fine

4 scissors anyone ?

Yeah while the male is ryoma, satow, takasugi, and okita but they treat it like bond of brotherhood instead butt sex

I'm at the last city and it's been decent fun.
Even a terrible Team Ninja game is better than most slop, yes even comparing it to Ghost of Dei.
Still TN are getting dangerously close to becoming a garbage studio. The combat is great, actually not too parryslop because parrying everything is not always the best way to fight, but still it's worse combat than Nioh 2 overall and parrying is still important yet they've made the parry window between styles extremely inconsistant, leading you to main katana with tatsumi in particular since it has the most parry frames. That's a shame when the game has so many wasted weapon types and styles.
The open world is completely unnecessary and the story is nonsense too.
I have no issue with perf but that's normal with my system.
I also hate how bad and desexualized the girl outfits are along with the type 1/2 shit so the game isn't worth buying just because of this.

Should be rather easy since I keep seeing Ryu Hayabusa and Marie Rose walking around

Princess Atsuko is uggo and become nun IRL but yeah leave it to KT to make every historical figure that romanceable become cute/hot

It's fine on my 4090 at 4k but no, it's shit
It's utter shit

Bro we took out most of the moves from Nioh and Wo Long and Jack's game but let the enemy do them isntead because fuck you

bro we wanted you to experience combat but maybe only 1/10th of the game should be about combat so instead have more story and more ubislop

For what it was, an attempt at making ubislop, it was great. For what it tried to do, be a Team Ninja game ,ti was utter shit

RoR is refined Nioh 2 though. Parry was already a thing in Nioh and you got a Yokai Parry in Nioh 2.

Completely needless open-world just to copy Ghost of Tsushima and poor enemy variation. Game is pretty good when it takes you on a linear path, and the bond system is a good improvement over Onimusha 2.

Contextual parries vs universal parry button, it's a massive difference

Liked it but the final fights really overstayed their welcome, the fight with the twin especially was just obnoxious, just flies around farting lightning everywhere, the counterspark timing is insanely hard and the bitch dual wields every single weapon in the game, including odachis.

That's the refinement. Contextual parry is just qte, no?
You can argument counterspark is too strong/weak. But I don't think it's a problem.

I'll also add that the game was completely unplayable for me until patch 03 because of the massive stuttering even though it was only using half my VRAM. Looks like they broke some of the lighting and shadows in patch .03 to quickly paper over the performance problems. The game still melts my CPU though.

Fun combat
Great setting
Confusing story
Needlessly big open world
Messy performance
Also DLC/sequel bait that will never happen
I like it a lot but understand the mixed reaction

That is not a refinement, it's an entirely different design direction, centering defense on the parry button that can deal with every attack in the game over parries that can only work against some enemies, which incentivizes more varied defensive play.

The game in a sense feels like a halfway point between Nioh and Ninja Gaiden. More actiony and platformy than Nioh, but not as punishing and doesn't keep you on your toes as much as Ninja Gaiden does.

RoR in a nutshell

no I don't think universal deflects are a good thing in a vacuum
it's extremely good in a game like Sekiro where you have limited tools and moveset and very fine tuned enemies and bosses
I don't think it's fun at all in games like WL and RoR, games in the TN style are more fun when you have big aggressive and varied combos to control enemies. In Sekiro it's actually fun to deflect everything and trade a few blows, in these games it's a chore the entire games are designed around accommodating when they should have been less focused on a reactive defensive playstyle.

If it's a half way between anything it's Nioh and Wolong, leaning more towards wolong

Got tired of ubishit objectives.
Too many gay romances.

Not really though, you can dodge attack but parry/counterspark yield better reward. It's just a matter of risk/reward play
I don't get why everyone seems despise open world, i think it's fine also they're putting extra details to make it historically accurate although the game itself had weird elements like rocket boots, robot arms, but commodore perry still need black ship to come to japan and they're still need some fucking coal

Yeah the few final fights were weird, when you were rescuing the princess I think, there's the one boss with a weird flaming odachi style, his moves were really weird and story wise it's weird too that he acts like some hot shit leader of something and butt buddies with your twin but it was the first time you see him

There is no reason to use dodge thanks the absurd forward movement attacks have in this game, CS is always the best option since it nullifies attacks and refunds ki

Sozo sagara, it's basically aisu kage-ryu but with odachi, same like Okita with mumyo, tenen-rishin ryu katana style but with "extended katana" aka odachi

Open world is okay, my problem was mostly the "needlessly big" part. Edo is gigantic with not so many actually interesting place. So many useless empty spaces. I actually groaned when it was revealed that you had to go back there for the last leg of the game.
Kyoto is legit the best area. Not too big and also great visually.

You can be aggressive and versatile in Ronin.

For me it's Sana

kek. DMC5 also.

It's dogshit

Nioh Game not on Japan

What a stupid idea
If you want an European setting play Dark Souls

Not him, but Dark Souls and Nioh are barely even similar to one another

you can be aggressive and versatile

posts turn based parryslop with 1 move spam

good but I'm mad they went the parry slop way and I would have preferred a new nioh of stranger from paradise 2

No it's awfully mediocre and the third consecutive disappointment from Team Ninja after Nioh 2 peaked so high

No clips will convince you if that's your observation. Play the game anon.

I heard the gameplay was weaker than nioh and the game isn't optimized well on pc so I'm waiting to get it cheap

I want nioh with weapons that arent katanas and monsters that arent yokai

just play dark souls

Nioh and dark souls are the same game because both have katanas, there is literally no difference in gameplay, nope, not at all

European monsters

Dragons

Goblins

Uhhhh

Get Khazan instead

european monsters

dragons

goblins

Bro I’m begging you, crack open a single mythology text from Europe and you'll find way more than your Skyrim tier bestiary. Wendigos, basilisks, redcaps, leshen, striga, banshees — hell, even biblically accurate angels if some dev had the balls. There's a goldmine of freaky shit no one's using 'cause everyone just wants to reskin a lizard and throw wings on it. Let Team Ninja go nuts with that and give me a greathammer with holy relic scaling or something, I’m tired of farming yokai hair for the 400th time.
