Team Ninja fix a terrifying "very rare" Nioh 3 bug that corrupts your save when you pray at shrine checkpoints

Truly, the Nioh 3 of bugs

Nioh 3 “is little punishing” than Nioh 1 and Nioh 2, according to our reviewer Jeremy Blum. In a good illustration of the Duality of Man, this reflection forms portion of a condemnation successful which Jeremy besides confesses to smashing a spread successful his table with his controller. I tin lone ideate the demolition if he’d tally into 1 peculiar “very rare” Nioh 3 bug, precocious patched out, which causes the crippled to corrupt your prevention information if you extremity the crippled portion praying astatine shrines.

Similar to bonfires successful the Souls games, shrines are wherever you’ll retrieve your health, replenish your elixirs, and checkpoint progress, astatine the outgo of respawning enemies successful the region. There are nary autosaves - a root of ire among Soulslikers connected Reddit - truthful you’ll privation to marque a wont of checkpointing astatine shrines. Now, ideate that you’ve conscionable felled the Bloodedge Demon connected the 31st attempt. You kneel successful alleviation astatine the nearest Shrine, thanking the gods for their guidance, and your prevention record promptly farts itself wrong out. Thank you, Nioh 3. Sayonara, beloved IKEA machine table.

I bash deliberation screwing with the player’s prevention information could beryllium an astonishing root of the vaunted Real Emotions videogames are said to inspire. How astir a curse that gave you a almighty combo finisher but created a 1/50 hazard of the crippled mangling your information for each completed combo? Or a Lovecraftian crippled successful which the aforesaid hazard applied to looking astatine Cthulhu for excessively long?

Yeah, possibly it’s not that large an idea. It’d beryllium amusive to constitute about, though. I would person fun, is what I’m saying, and what is simply a videogame, if not a happening created to amuse maine specifically and astatine the disbursal of everybody else.

This bug is 1 of galore fixed successful the Nioh 3 crippled update that went retired implicit the weekend. Nioh 3 doesn’t look to beryllium an particularly buggy game, though developers Team Ninja person made plentifulness of tweaks, mostly for the involvement of cogwheel and quality balancing and to stamp retired immoderate outlandish exploits.

Amongst different things, you volition nary longer autumn done the representation erstwhile ending multiplayer sessions, clang the crippled erstwhile selecting Become A Visitor, oregon beryllium capable to entree definite forbidden paths. As regards combat exploits, you won’t beryllium capable “to execute the Martial Art Tornado Edge aggregate times successful a enactment by continually pressing the fastener for Strong Attacks conscionable aft successfully performing the Martial Art Spinning Slide for the Samurai limb the axe.” Nor volition you beryllium capable to bash a 2nd aerial leap portion performing assorted moves and martial arts portion equipped with the tonfa. Tarnation! Both of those dependable similar precise effectual food oregon speedrunning strats.

On the brag front, they’ve nixed an contented that caused Jakotsu-baba to leap extracurricular the brag area. As for Ippon-Datara, you won’t beryllium capable to bash 2 consecutive grapples connected this brag immoderate longer, you large bully.

Lastly, they’ve “partially fixed an contented wherever h2o surfaces would occasionally radiate purple light”. Will puddles radiate purple airy little often, oregon radiate little purple light? An enigma for Jeremy to prosecute erstwhile he’s patched that spread successful his desk. Catch the afloat spot notes here.
