[schlynch]

You can either matchmake to join someone else who requests help -- works a lot like Souls where if the host dies the session ends. OR you can essentially set up a party of 2 to take on an entire mission together, where you can sort of die and revive eachother. In both co op variants both the host and helper receive loot / experience / everything.

Thanks, sounds great!

edit: Some more questions...

- is there an option to disable the dmg numbers that pop up all the time?
- does the game somehow adapt when playing co-op? More/stronger enemies?

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

No.. I have a hard tine finishing the game as it is..

No worries, take your time. No need to go into a frantic pace.

My baby is reviewing so well. Awwwww. :')
Buy this kickass game people if you need to fill that Ninja Gaiden Black/Devil May Cry 3 SE/Onimusha void in yo fucking chest!

NiohGAF let's fucking goooooo!!! Can almost taste this deliciousness.

Day Zero. Although I won't stay on a long time with everyone the night the thread goes up since I have class in the morning.

It's a meme! All it needs to take off is some people finding it funny! ;p

I guess.

>< This game must win! For great justice!

Tell your friends and neighbors!

Wish we had the chart numbers before the reviews went up. Wanted to see how much a difference the reviews made for Nioh

I was really excited for the game, I had $60 for three games: Nioh, RE7, Ghost Recon (because of my friends), Nioh was my priority since I really liked the beta and that showed me the strenghts and weaknesses of the game, with that in mind I wasn't entirely sure at buying the game hence the wait for reviews, I was confident that everything would turn up ok but decided to wait for possible bad surprises.

No reason to wait anymore.

 

[FrankWza]

There was definitely modes to select? I remember putting it on "action" mode or whatever the 60FPS mode was named.

It might not have been full out "4K" mode, but there was definitely some choice for graphical bells and whistles.

From the last chance thread.

 

[MrJoobJoob]

Thanks, sounds great!

edit: Another question... is there an option to disable the dmg numbers that pop up all the time?

Yes -- at least in the beta there was an option to turn off damage numbers, so the option is almost certainly in the full release.

So it was 720/60 then? (and I'll guess 1080/30 for higher quality?) My bad. There was definitely choices to jump between, that was more my point. Hopefully retail does indeed properly use the Pro.

edit: Some more questions...

The Options menu was quite extensive regarding choices for the HUD etc., as far as I recall you could turn off most things individually.

EDIT: In the demos I meant.

This meme makes no sense because looking at the history of PlayStation, when has it ever failed to deliver games. People used it in an attempt to discredit and belittle PlayStation success.

People say that about the Wii U and that beautiful console had 0 success. This isn't about Sony or PS, there's just some people who enjoy shitting on "the competition" more than playing games.

 

[Jimrpg]

Any good streams of the game at the moment?

The guy im watching at the moment is an annoying streamer

About what I expected.

Great stuff and this year continues to propel forward.

The PlayStation access guys are pretty good. They're quite light hearted though so that might not be your thing. This is around halfway through the game though:

Cheers. 60FPS is always key, but Pro should be doing 1080/60 on this considering I was pretty underwhelmed graphically. Enclosed areas and pretty average texture work. That doesn't matter too much though, gameplay is king for Nioh.

Understandable. I think the majority of us will be ghost after the game hits and pop in the OT once in a while cuz we're too busy choppin up Yokai. I'm so damn hyped for this & Horizon, god damn.

Buy this game people if you crave that godlike combat/technicality! You will not be disappointed, I guarantee it.

CL/Gamestop/Ebay/BB. I highly highly recommend finding a PS4 Pro for cheap instead of the OG btw going forward. Your eyes will thank you for it in the long run, guaranteed.

 

[Megawarrior]

I'm broke as HELL after the January japanese game apocalypse. Maybe I can trade a game or two i don't care about.

 

[lowhighkang_LHK]

Amazon US #8
Amazon UK #3
Much better than Yakuza/TOB/GR2

It sucks knowing I don't contribute to any of this because I get most my games off of PSN. They unlock the day before release at 10 pm PST so they always beat amazon even with release date delivery. But aren't all games off amazon ten dollars cheaper?

as someone who primarily plays on PC my PS4 had been mostly a dust collector for quite some time until recently. Not exaggerating when I say by the time Persona 5 comes out I will have more than doubled the number of games I owned for it before December 2016. I was just thinking this morning how crazy this is and how few consoles have pulled off so many must-have games (as in the kind I want) in a short period of time.

 

[DjDonFrancisco]

Just read Destructoids review. Whew, I'm so in. Can't wait to see what Brad at Giant Bomb thinks of it.

 

[#sorrynotsorry]

These reviews just sold me on the game.

And bloodporne. You guys deserve free copies imo. Hahaha

Edit: yeah pretty much guaranteed resolution bump on pro from beta. 1080/60. Read them posts.

Open Critic up to 86 now...WOW

 

[HORRORSHØW]

Expected. The alpha/betas were awesome

 

[Dead End Irony]

I played the demo of this game and it wasn't really my style. But a lot of people are hyped for this game, so I'm really glad to see it's scoring well. Maybe I'll give it another shot after I cut down my backlog.

Hoping the other anticipated 2017 games (i.e Horizon, Zelda, Nier, Persona) receive high scores as well.

 

[Ricker]

Since there is proper co-op,I mean not only Souls like but complete levels/missions where you can revive and all,I might grab this even though I couldnt even finish the last demo weekend...

Game Informer has a pretty good ''how to play'' vid as well,for less talented players like me I guess lol.

Those are always a little spoilery of course but they say its not.

You can disable damage numbers from options IIRC, and in regular co-op no, but there is co-op mode called Yokai Realm where enemies are stronger and there's more of them, and different enemies too.

Koei always tell us how many copies they sold via fiscal report, you contribute to that!

SO EXCITED OH MY GOD

this game is team Ninja reborn

Good to know.

Indeed. I wonder what their next game will be.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Happy to see the game reviewing well, I expected as much after playing the demos

 

[Already Torn]

Looks pretty good but I have a lot of video games to play right now. Maybe we'll see how I'm feeling closer to launch.

Interesting that there hasn't been that one really negative review yet

 

[Jimrpg]

Open Critic up to 86 now...WOW

im expecting it to rise.

Seems people who really like it will post their reviews later, its meant to be a long game.

 

[Knuf]

So glad to see the game reviewing this well, Tuesday cannot come soon enough!

Indeed. I wonder what their next game will be.

DOAX4, obviously.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Good to know.

Nioh 2 hopefully, and then Ninja Gaiden 4 retry(or reboot?)

 

[Vazra]

Indeed. I wonder what their next game will be.

Dead or Alive 6 most likely since they said Ninja Gaiden will be taking a break.

 

[Kazuo Hirai]

Indeed. I wonder what their next game will be.

I think they would show at this E3, Hayashi's team should make a new game after DOAX3,

 

[Kaako]

Rise from the ashes, Team Ninja. And reclaim the combat throne, once more.
This is a true return to form.

 

[Manny Calavera]

I'm more than excited to see all these great reviews, but my wallet is not. Was planning not to buy games till Switch and Zelda but I think I have to pick this up after all. This should fill the void I've been feeling since Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3.

 

[False Witness]

Did any of the reviews go in depth on ninjutsu or magic? I feel like I'm the only one planning on going all in right off the bat.

 

[Hanmik]

I think they would show at this E3, Hayashi's team should make a new game after DOAX3,

and now you are out of Junior status.. how you have grown.. ;o)

 

[DoubleTake]

My wallet can't handle all these amazing games coming out.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Dead or Alive 6 most likely since they said Ninja Gaiden will be taking a break.

Yeah, DOA6, Nioh 2, maybe something new and then NG4.

They have multiple teams making multiple things after all. I know they are working on that FF 3DS RPG too

 

[r3n4ud]

Really great to see the reviews.

My copy shipped this morning and I'm counting on you guys to help me in coop. I already know how much I'll suck at this game so I'm relying on you guys to carry me through!
