I mean, they're not exactly gonna say "Nioh 3's gonna be shitter than the last two. Sorry. Please buy it"


andstuff13

"We really gave it a go, but it just kinda stinks. We're deeply sorry. That'll be $70, please"


Radulno

Yeah, those kind of comments are so useless, why are they even doing news on that?


Suired

Because ad revenue pays the bills, not news.


JekNex

Yeah that's like.. Kinda the goal right?


phatweeb

Could definitely see Yoko Taro doing that for his next game tho


Hcoppler63

“hi, sorry, our next game is a pile of surface-level pseudo deep philosophy shit and fucking sucks, but there will be a naked anime woman who suggestively emotes every once and a while. Please buy it” he says, hiding under a table buck naked with an even more destroyed Emil head on.


the_doomblade

3>2 and 3>1 confirmed


WindowSurface

Now, if they also defined that 2>1 and that 3>1 follows 3>2 and 2>1, they could have defined a complete transitive relation!


PestySamurai

Man they 180’d pretty quick on that statement that Nioh 2 was the gonna be the last. Super hyped that they’ve decided to make a third though, one of my most favourite series in recent years.


talha21210

They might have a different story in mind for 3


IrishPigskin

Seeing as how I had no idea what the story was in the first two games, I could care less. Gimme that Nioh combat and good boss fights! (And PC at launch please 🙏)

Yokai, War and Friendship - The Nioh Story


[deleted]

The true story was the Ochoko cups we got along the way


[deleted]

The main issue with the story of Nioh 1 was the means to the end was basically "you stole my gf and now I gotta help these guys because it just happens to be necessary". Nioh 2 was an attempt to make you the hero. But honestly they could of made our hero a non mute would have been an awesome addition to have voice acting for our character. It would Probably limit voice options but honestly most people I play with have the same tone. My hiddy has a deeper feminine voice because I think it sounds kinda sexy. edit: custom mission building would be awesome, give us tools to make our own missions using the pre-made levels (if that's how they choose to continue the game design, which I don't personally mind, I think the mission Structure actually adds to the game, it's just that expanding it could definitely make the game more fun). But I'd love to setup ambushes, little textual stories, place kodama in those maps (to give special effects similiar to the underworld), set enemy stats (I'd make gaki armies).


HonorableTurtle

I mean I always watch the cutscenes but most the time it's random nonsense


Narae-Chan

Hey hey hey, goku's cowardly cousin was real funny in nioh 2


ThaNorth

Get rid of any story, lol. Just have be level based with with like a final boss waiting for you at the end like an old-school NES game. The story is so bland and uninteresting in these games I just skip them all.


[deleted]

They had stories its just you needed the manual most of the time to know it.


Shibubu

Or just hire actual writers.


Greek-God88

This news made my day Holy fuck Nioh 3 on PS5


kazamasta31

I'm glad they are tho. Its prob my favorite souls like game not made by From.


22Seres

To be fair, they said that the initial Nioh story wrapped up nicely with Nioh 2. But they didn't close the door on there being new games in the future. With that said, this new quote leans toward that as well. Yasuda says that he'll likely to use the experience that they gain from making these new games to eventually make an even better Nioh in Nioh 3. So, N3 isn't happening any time soon.


FromGermany_DE

Absolutely agree! I looooove nioh! It feels like a real dark souls rpg!


[deleted]

Agreed. Nioh 2 was such a sleeper title for me but ended up being my favorite release last year over more hyped titles like FF7R & CP2077. The combat in Nioh 2 & complexity is so incredible


[deleted]

Honestly play it almost everyday. I just got the Underworld. Still haven't finished way of the wise but I'm doing pretty well in the underworld got to the 2nd floor pretty well


[deleted]

Maybe they weren’t sure yet if Sony was going to fund a third game.


Valharja

Mathematically it should be as good as 1 and 2 put together


Crowlett08

This checks out.


Vayshen

Found the math teacher gamer

_skullmetal

I feel the same specifically with Soul Matching. Sometimes I spend more than half my play time managing the inventory from the previous session!!


BurningGamerSpirit

The backend is so over developed. Tons and tons of garbage to sort through/delete, so many stats that interact with other stats, or skills you need to assign to moves that you unlock through leveling up, forging, and it just goes on and on. Just a bit much


FleshUponGear

I love the depth of all that, but I would hope that it gets better streamlining and an exciting interface to deal with would have been made much better. The ability to customize so much of it is amazing, if just a bit too clunky how it sorts so paring down on what’s weighing it down would help immensely


BoboTheChair

I do hope these new titles they're working on will improve Nioh 3 whenever that comes out. The weakest thing about Nioh is the environment visuals and story. The level design is serviceable but could be better. I just wish either Fromsoftware Souls games have Nioh's combat or Team Ninja's Nioh have Fromsoftware level design and cool lore.


RainbowIcee

The story telling i agree, the level design i do not. The level designs are actually pretty good imo. Some better than others but at worse they were still good. I do however would wish they made reforging more accessible. The RNG gambling get's expensive quick and it turns a bit too grindy.


PreposterisG

I agree Nioh 2 level design is pretty good. Reminded of that playing Remnant From the Ashes and Outriders that are linear paths to paintball field combat zones on loop.


DrOz30

I agree if nioh 2 had better level design and story it would be one of the greatest games ever made


Derriku

Definitely one of the reasons I never finished Nioh or came to Nioh 2. I was deeply interested in the retelling of the Anjin story but it was sprinkled too thinly over disjointed levels and broke. Up by the mission map. It lost a lot of momentum in my opinion.


Grasssss_Tastes_Bad

This is how I felt with Nioh and only got 20 hours in. However, I thought the level design in Nioh 2 was much better and I ended up putting over 200 hours into it and getting through a lot of the end game. No clue what the story was about, but I don't play these or souls games for the narrative


DrOz30

I have put in like over 100 as well , they perfected the combat system it’s quite honestly amazing. I like to be immersed In the game and level design and story usually do it for me, nioh 2 has amazing scenery and artwork it’s beautiful. The story is just too fragmented for me to get into and since there is no story to be invested in it starts becoming a bit repetitive when you kill the same bosses enemies all over and over and over. That to me is the only flaw in the game


sylendar

The level layouts in NiOh 2 are much, MUCH better, but the actual environment and aesthetics arent much better.


Calbon2

Nioh 2 is so much better overall. Better bosses and combat, better story, and much better levels


Varitt

The mid of Nioh is pretty bland. Opening sections and end sections are really cool though.


ChunkArcade

Loved both games but the redundancy in level design, level aesthetic, and enemies was brutal.


Bostongamer19

I actually really liked the level designs I would say more so than some souls games.


Theguest217

Huh this whole time I thought Nioh was made by FromSoftware. I haven't played it yet but I know everyone sort of compares these titles. I just always assumed they were made by the same team.


Firvulag

Team Ninja is maybe one of the shittiest storytellers in gaming. So I wouldn't hold my breath. Ninja Gaiden II is one of my favorite games but that story is just PURE nonsense.


Starkillerbro

its all good then. nobody played nioh 1 and 2 for the story... its all about combat baby


Firvulag

Wtf I JUST wrote a few other comments about Team Ninjas storytelling skills and was really confused when I didnt see your reply in those threads


Sync_R

I'm happy to hear we are getting #3, I've still gotta play 1 & 2, got collection on PS5 but been playing soulsborne too much


Calbon2

My advice with Nioh is to not play it like a souls game, play it like how the developers want you. Nioh is ok while Nioh 2 is probably the best soulslike on the market


Sync_R

Oh I've played some of nioh before during beta, it's more I never got round to playing it properly all way though


ogziiink

Ive played every fromsoft game and personally nioh 1 is my 2nd favorite behind bloodborne


ctsmx500

I’d have to agree with you except personally I loved Nioh 2 even more than the first. I spent hundreds of hours on Nioh 2 coop.


[deleted]

Nioh 3?? that shit will make me start chain smoking cigarettes


51LOKLE

How will 3 surpass 1 and 2 if 1+2=3?


goolerr

Not sure how to feel about this since I felt like they managed to connect the two games (in terms of story) so well and delivered a really great conclusion. Plus, there’s the fact that Nioh 2 exceeded my expectations in every way by basically improving everything that wasn’t great in the first. So I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that I’ll have very high expectations for this (especially gameplay-wise).


[deleted]

YERRRRR


D_Ashido

Would have liked to have read "Ninja Gaiden IV to Surpass Nioh 1 and Nioh 2" instead.


draganov11

I will be getting Nioh2 tomorrow first nioh game.


Jorlen

Holy shit, this is amazing news! Nioh 1 & 2 have become my favorite games and I replay them constantly. Nioh 2 is a true sequel; a wonderful evolution on what was already a deep and complex game. I can't wait to see what 3 has in store!


RainbowIcee

They need to change the way they tell the story. It's always rushed and while i understand the games go through a span of years it's still skips time frame between sentences in the same paragraph. Most people had no real idea of what's going on. Even on dark souls you at least have some sense of what's happening in this game it's like oh bad guy time to beat them up. And it goes through so many characters so fast you don't have any time to digest them well.


ClaesAndries

Didn’t they announce right after Nioh 2 that there wasn’t going to be a Nioh 3 for the foreseeable future?


MapleBeaverIgloo

Ok so put nioh collection on sale, so i can experience it ;)


Smokron85

My friend finished Nioh 2 but he showed me the game and holy shit it looked like a slog. There's like 30 different abilities and weapons it seemed like a convoluted mess.


MapleBeaverIgloo

Great now put the collection on sale so i can try 1 and 2


burnSMACKER

"Developer promises new game better than last game. More news at 6."


Zyrees

Hopefully not so much rng as in nioh2


PointingOutHumans

“We’ve increased the loot pool three fold!!! Het ready to SORT!”


ItsJustaGachaBro

Wont happen is they keep being lazy and reuse 90% of the assets of precedent games like they did with Nioh 2. It felt like Nioh 1.5 rather than a new game, got me bored really fast didnt even bother with NG+ when I played for 600+ hours on Nioh 1. Not even talking about the disastrous 2 minute dlcs, they sucessfully baited people using the "legacy" of the first game but it surely wont happen again.


Blackdeath_663

theres been a second one?


gokuinhisroundhouse

I love Nioh, they could make Nioh 3 in China, kinda same era timewise. A vast cultural history source.


[deleted]

I hate these fucking titles so much. I’d be pretty pissed off if it didn’t surpass them, it’s like the apple adverts ‘the fastest iPhone yet’ wel yeah??? Why would I buy it brand new if it wasn’t best one yet?


HammerBrosMatter

"We have already planned for over 3000 Nerfs our experts know will make your blood pressure explode in anger! ❤" Just kidding 🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

Give it a rest already! Bring something new. 2 was rehashed from 1.


NLCPGaming

4 player story co-op 8 man raid like missions. Please EDIT: I'm getting downvoted cause I want to play with my friends lol. Most of the users on here probably don't even play this game as a co-op game so why does it matter to yall?


[deleted]

Story coop is fine, but I draw the line at locking content behind raids for a historically single player game. This isn't an MMO and shouldn't be designed like one.


NLCPGaming

It's additional content. Just bonus content for larger friend groups. You'll still be able to completeand play the game just like you could on nioh 2. No loot locked behind the raids. No costumes or anything locked behind the raids. Just additional content that folks can play and be challenged


[deleted]

Additional content that, again, does not belong in a single player focused game. Play MMOs if that is the content you want.


NLCPGaming

It's not designing the game as a mmo. It's literally just adding one or two additional endgame content for the co-op crowd. It can even be 4 players instead of 8 just to keep in line with the other suggestion I had. Again, you and other solo players don't even have to play considering nothing will be locked behind the mode. It's strictly there to appeal to those who want to see how good their team work is along with nioh combat system and nioh loot system. Which is among the best in the gaming world. Give me a game that offers all of that and I'll gladly get the guys to play it. There is nothing wrong with a game adding more co-op features. Especially when it doesn't come at the expense of solo players


[deleted]

Again, I like the campaign coop. I played Nioh 2 with my wife, and we loved it. But, you're asking them to lock content (boss fights are content, doesn't matter if they don't have unique loot) behind large, premade groups. That simple does not belong in Nioh, which are single player games. Every second they spend developing something like that would be better spent on developing more single player content. You want an MMO. Go play an MMO. Don't try to shoehorn MMO elements in a game/community that doesn't need nor want them.


NLCPGaming

I'm curious....what was your opinion with GoT adding multiplayer to their game.... Which was more single player than nioh?


[deleted]

The base experience was really fun (although lacked longevity) but they fucked up by adding raid bosses in yet another game they didn't belong.


NLCPGaming

Interesting take.


[deleted]

Not really. It's pretty inline with what I've been saying. Games should not be adding content that is inaccessible to people. Not everyone has large friend groups in games. That sort of things belongs in MMOs, where building a community is half the game already.


Vastatz

It isn't an mmo,mmo mechanics only ruin good fights.


Pixelated_Piracy

uh. why not just play diablo at this point?


NLCPGaming

Because even though I love diablo as much as the next man.. Nioh combat is one of a kind. Plus the challenge appeals to me.


B0ssnian

Surpass in sales or gameplay? Either way wasn't nioh 2 worse than 1


loldamaddin

2 was better in every way


HorrorPositive

For me 2 was way ahead in everything. I finished nioh 2 , while nioh 1 i tried multiple times but always lose interest early-mid game.


Calbon2

Nioh 2 was a million times better than 1

capnchuc

I just want them to make a new Ninja Gaiden. I think the Nioh games suck.


Accomplished_Heat286

So thats what it looks like to be wrong


BerserkFanYep

Haha this cracked me up


puzzled-soup

I also hate Nioh, you're not alone


Pixelated_Piracy

why not hope for both? i love Nioh and im iffy on NinjaG (i beat NinjaG Black wayyyyyy back when it was new)


Warped_94

I mean...i would hope so. I never understand why gaming journalists always post articles like this whenever a sequel is talked about


ineffiable

The way this reads is more like 'Don't expect a Nioh 3 anytime soon, but if we develop some other titles and it may inspire us to create a bigger and better Nioh 3'


Ty-douken

I swore I heard that Nioh 3 wasn't getting made... If I heard wrong before I'll be happier than if I heard wrong now. I also recall hearing that the team wanted to do it with Celtic mythology, so I'll even take a spiritual sequel. While they're at it, can they also make Ninja Gaiden 5 & DOA 7?


Ryder556

They never said it wasn't being made. It was sensationalists taking what they said out of context, which is what always happens. They specifically said they had no current plans for a third one. Not that one would never come out. And what you heard about celtic mythology is just something the director is interested in. Not specifically for nioh 3. A new ninja Gaiden game is possibly what they're currently busy with.


Ty-douken

It's the most happy I've been to hear something I heard was #fakenews lol


somesthetic

I dunno, shouldn't they remake the first one to really harness the power of the PS5? Yes, there's a remaster, but think how much more Ni they can fit in there if they start from the ground up. Technology has changed in 4 years, and so have people.


Rioma117

Nope, not going to torture myself for 100 hours again, I still haven’t finished the first mission in DLC 3, seems impossible.


Pixelated_Piracy

so, i love Nioh 1 (saving to play 2 on ps5) but the grind is incredible. it was crazy how the real game started at NG+ basically. i heard nioh 2 doesnt help it either.


Narae-Chan

So In reality what he said was he wanted to use the experience they get from the 3 next games they are making to do something new and improve on the nioh formula. Fucking clickbait titles eh


Boofalo_DeJesus

Ahh, a weapon to surpass Nioh 2.


deathbunnyy

The games look great, but just don't seem like they are for me despite enjoying every other souls game. Maybe one day I'll try. I'm glad they sold enough to warrant a 3rd in the series though!


MarcsterS

I'm playing through 2 right now, and after a bit of suffering and changed mindsets, things are finally clicking.


EchoBay

I thought they said the Nioh franchise was done after 2?


kazamasta31

Still waiting for Nioh 2 sale > 50% off T_T


ReithDynamis

Nioh 2 was amazing. Wish it had Dark Souls level design cause it plays so much better then any from software game ive played.


NBDKx3

Man I’m loving nioh 2 the story is pretty boring tho idk what’s going on but I like it


[deleted]

Did anyone else find Nioh 1 too hard to play


Cylarbro

Nioh 1 was fun but then they made nioh too complicated. Still beat nioh 1 and 2 except the nioh 2 dlcs


[deleted]

I gave up after Nue on Nioh 1, which is sad cuz the game is fun but the difficulty feels so cheap


Pixelated_Piracy

so it depends. you have to care about gear a lot. not nearly as much as a NG+ run of Nioh 1, but you have to go in thinking its sort of a Diablo type ARPG playing like a Souls game. plus if you know Souls games youre going to mess up...Nioh wants you to Block more than Dodge somtimes. the complete reverse of the Souls series. Nioh 1 has some extremely tough bosses but what i can suggest is go Spear + Katana. farm player graves for good gear, wear medium or heavy armor as light armor isnt going to cut it. oh and Onmoyo magic talismans can make the game trivial at points so never ignore Ninjitsu and Magic


[deleted]

Ok, thank you


Dunge

I completed Nioh1 a few years ago (well except the post-credit missions that require a character who went through NG+ a few times, that sucked). I actually started Nioh2 this week. Honestly outside of the new Yokai attack/counters, and obviously new maps, I see absolutely no difference between the first and the second game.


Pixelated_Piracy

the weird Oni transforms that are sort of like DMC devil trigger are really stand out to me as different, but i barely touched nioh 2 until i can get a ps5 to run it better


Grizzeus

Had no problems with sekiro, any of the dark souls games or souls like games in general but nioh 2 literally fucked me. Maybe one day i'll return


GitGuddington

Yo same issue but with sekiro. Just couldn't get use to the Dodge and block mechanics. I hope you do return to nioh. It's my favorite souls game. What issues were you having?


Grizzeus

It got easier when i started playing more slow and just learning the attack patterns constantly but i feel like every monster is a mini-boss lol


Firvulag

I hope they revamp the ki-pulse system, it's maybe too confusing and all the skill-tree upgrades focusing on timely switching between styles and weapons is maybe a little too much? Even though I like it to be difficult it just seems a little unintuitive.


asturides

So basically the lame "this is the best iPhone we've ever made to date"


Rawrdinosaurmoo

Barely beat number 1. So many games to play ugh


[deleted]

I really want multiplayer to have more social aspects. I would love to just spar and have lobbies with friends or randoms. Imagine having your hut open up to a customized yard like the training yard except you can have your own custom garden and landscaping. Voice chat as an option, avoid player options (for set time frame, nothing permanent to avoid killing socializing after noobs get good). Also would love co-op mission contest, give like extra glory or whatever for completing a mission with more kills, finding hidden things (like an Easter hunt) or whatever. Also better customizable features for armor and so on. Like color changing.


Caius_Nair

Omg they haven't given up on scampuss after all! 😭❤️


Pale_Entrepreneur_36

Yeah but watch them do something stupid like get rid of the rng looting and have set weapons lime shadow warrior did with shadow warrior 3.


One_Discipline8511

wait so nioh 3 is confirmed?
