I am loving the fists.
That’s fine as long as they’re working on Ninja Gaiden 4!
Maybe like FromSoft they will continue to make action RPGs but in a different series.
For sure! I would say story in general was probably the weakest aspect of the games, so not particularly attached to “Nioh”. Looking forward to whatever they end up doing next.
Yes, the story is completely inconsequential.
Hopefully this means that the developers have accomplished what they want to with the setting/aesthetics/mythology of Sengoku Japan but will be able to carry on their approach to combat design in whatever their next project is.
For the record, I put 205 hours into Nioh 2 on PS4. I assume that’s accurate and it didn’t increase while the game was suspended or something. It seems a bit high. I only put 100 hours into Nioh because the PC version was announced earlier and I held out for that. I still played it another 124 hours on PC.
I’ll probably hit 250 for Nioh 2 on PC. Hey, it’s the last game in the series!
I waited for the PC version in both cases, and wound up at 170 hours in Nioh 1. 2 is my most-anticipated game for next year, and wouldn’t be surprised if it surpasses it.
Tatarimokke: yuck.
The new PC trailer today is chock full of boss spoilers and only reiterates what we already know, so there’s no need to watch it.
It looks like the framerate might not be completely unlocked and might only have a 120 FPS mode, which is fine.
Only 3 weeks away. More like 3 weeks to try to forget all the bosses and locations in the trailer that I’ve nearly committed to memory at this point!
Been looking forward to this for an age and am quite excited as Nioh was one of my faves!
I am going in blind, not really followed anything since console launch.
Oh and unless you have an HDR monitor, it will look pretty last gen like the last game. It doesn’t seem like they made any other changes. Just setting some expectations.
I have a nice 4K OLED HDR TV. :)
I’ll be playing it on an LG C9 OLED, which has great HDR and caps out at 120Hz anyway, so all that sounds great to me. And honestly, last-gen-ish graphics running at 4K/120Hz tend to look just fine to me, and use most of the GPU’s bandwidth.
And I’m also going in blind. I use trailers and such to help figure out whether I want to buy a game, and then ignore them once the decision is made. And the first game was enough that I was sold on this the moment it was announced.
So that gives me three weeks to wrap up Sekiro, and hopefully do a bit of something else as a palate cleanser to reset my muscle memory before diving in. I… probably could have planned that better.
Just a heads up there are minor complaints about the PC port from the press build. The mouse cursor doesn’t disappear with mouse controls (seems like a trivial fix) and performance is worse than it should be when there are heavy particle effects.
Nothing that bothers me but some people might want to wait a bit. Someone mentioned it took them at least a week to wring out Nioh 1 on PC.
I haven’t pre-purchased a game in awhile, but I’m in on this one. Looking forward to it! Couple more days.
I’m pretty tempted! It’s been a while since I had a good Souls-type experience. I enjoyed the original even though I stalled about halfway through.
No preload on this one hey? I believe it’s around 90GB or so (though that’s probably unpacked).
75GB-80GB installed, 55-60GB download, apparently. No preload, it seems.
If anyone has build or mechanics questions, I’d be happy to answer while we all wait for tomorrow.
You can also browse r/glamurai to see if there are any pre-built characters you want to copy. Lots of mediocre recreations of pop culture and anime characters though.
Character codes won’t work in the PC build, apparently. At least not the PS4 ones.
