Nioh - PS4 - Team Ninja - DLC announced (not yet confirmed for West)

Really enjoyed this game, any word on the sequel yet?

Nothing since E3. Hopefully it's out this year.

I'm making slow but steady progress in this. Last night I killed some ogre looking dude in a small house which gave me the key to a large gate behind the house. I assume that's where I go next but I want to check out a small wooded area left of the house before moving on.

I'm quite happy just taking my time with this.

Just hit the first proper boss and I remember why the demo for this game pissed me off in the first place.

A small arena plus a boss a super aggressive boss with a huge range does not make for a fun battle. It's kinda like if Dark Souls opened with the Capra Demon.

I typically get wiped out before getting any decent hits in.

After about a dozen attempts I even tried summoning help but the guy was worse than me an proved no help at all.

EDIT: Killed the strawberry floater! It was pretty cool actually, I said to myself if I didn't off him this time I was calling it quits for the night then it all kinda fell into place and the battle went really well.

Little bit of progress in this today. Offed the bat lady boss and cleared a few side missions.

I was summoned in for a random mission which just happened to be the next mission I was due to play and it’s unexpectedly moved the story on.

I’m gonna go through it again on my own to explore properly.

Alongside Ghost of Tsushima, Nioh 2 is up there with my most anticipated games right now. Adored the first game with how good it felt to play. Nioh 2 has the potential to be something crazy special.

Crikey this game is brutal at times. I thought I was getting it as I’d been making steady progress on Saturday then it throws me a side mission where it’s just a one on one fight with some samurai fella, “fine” I thought, “I can manage one samurai”... WRONG! Cue nearly 3 hours of me getting virtually one shotted before getting lucky and beating him.

Loving this game courtesy of psplus. Its like a mix between dark souls and sekiro. I love the atmosphere, level design and enemies. The combat is better than sekiro, that’s for sure, and although it is very tough at times, levelling up is not that difficult. I have just discovered the delight of ochoko cups, nioh’s very own summoning co-op mechanic, although it is limited to the number of cups you have in your possession, which aren’t easy to find. That was until i found a little exploit to farm them, so now can summon whenever i am in a spot of bother. Graphics on ps4 pro are decent, especially in movie mode. The 60fps mode is a jaggy mess with its lower resolution and i really cannot accept such graphics in this day and age, even with a better framerate. Movie mode is the way to go despite many people suggesting the performance mode. So far, so good and fills the gap from software left behind. I can’t say i overly loved nioh 2 beta, although i now get the mechanics are spending time on the original game, so it could be a nice playstation exclusive to play in 2020. Nice little surprise of a game, and is added to the bunch of games this generation that did not interest me initially.

I tried this and gave up in the jail break at the very start. :slol:

Not one for me I’m afraid!

It's a game about Feudal Japan... and you didn't even make it to Feudal Japan.
