Support NeoGAF

[Umbasaborne]

Review bombing is when gamers cry that you play as a woman or poc, this is just people voicing actual issues with the game, no issue here.

 

[OZ9000]

Ever heard of personal preference? You seem to have it yourself by prefering a controllers in games like this, imagine if the situation was reversed and it had bad controller support and it negatively affected you. I am sure youd be perfectly fine with that and that there would be no hypocrisy, right?

Nioh 2 didnt have this problem, so i imagine most people assumed this game wouldnt either. It will most likely get patched soon so its not that big of a deal.
Its far from the only or the biggest problem the game currently has unfortunately. Hell, i think its one of the smaller ones myself (i am used to bad mouse controls from Nintendo games), but its unusually common in the reviews that this thread is about.

Playing an action game with M/KB is almost as bad as having AIDS.

 

[TonyK]

After dying myself ten times in the phase 2 of the first boss I would also review bombing the game.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

 

[Denton]

This is not review bombing.

-Japanese developer releases a port on PC
-PC gamers find out that it was optimized for a Japanese console
-PC gamers find out that the controls were optimized for a Japanese console

PC gamers every single time:

Are you a moron by any chance

 

[Haint]

The people that played Diablo. You’d be surprised how good Keyboard and Mouse can be with action oriented games. Feels great with God of War.

LOLWAT? Diablo is an isometric point and click hotkey based game that was conceived and designed for M/KB from its inception, has absolutely nothing in common with a third person free camera melee combat game that's derived from 3D Ninja Gaidens. You're basically playing a 3D Mario with a Guitar Hero Guitar and justifying it by saying what about Rock Band.

Let me preface this with I am a PC Gamer, but i am not a pcmasterrace snob.
Its always funny to me to see PC games launch because 99% of the time they launch like shit and it humbles those babies who always talk shit about consoles

No, this is proper review bombing. Making your voice heard about something that matters, so it gets corrected.

Unfortunately a few babies dilute the purpose.

Its funny because everytime a console game doesn’t get a simultaneous pc launch they act as if theres a pc port switch to flip and that they are just being greedy or ignorant by not launching on pc day 1

Theres a reason sony hasn’t be releasing broken pc ports lately

 

[FeralEcho]

Who the fuck are these people anyway that play action games with a mouse and keyboard? What sort of madmen are they?

We should review bomb them....off the planet.

 

[sainraja]

Just stop! A pad-type controller is not an exotic peripheral!

It's bog-standard input device that any PC owner is likely to own already, unless they are some sort of weirdo purist!

If they happen to have a console, they have a pad they can use with their PCs. They have no excuse whatsoever nowadays.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Who the fuck are these people anyway that play sim racings without a direct drive wheel and hydraulic pedals? What sort of madmen are they? Fucking controllers? We should review bomb them... off the planet.

Who the fuck are these people anyway that play flight sims without HOTAS? What sort of madmen en are they? Fucking controllers? We should review bomb them... off the planet.

Gatekeeping what peoples are using to control games, GTFO already, enough of you in one thread.

 

[March Climber]

Wow, that's some heavy lifting you're doing to shill for a company selling a broken and buggy game for 70$ on PC.
Watch it, wouldn't want to throw out your back.

Why in the world would I shill for Koei Tecmo of all companies? Lol some of you guys love jumping off of a cliff to make wild assumptions about others. Keep going though this is funny stuff.

Are you a moron by any chance

No, I didn’t buy the game on steam. Did you?

 

[Fuz]

This is not "review bombing", this is deserved.

They said Action RPG did they not?

Anyways I can tell you’ve never tried what you’re speaking about, so you’re just guessing that it’s bad.

Don’t look into fighting game fans that only play with a button layout. Your head will explode.

 

[Ronin_7]

Playing games on PC these days is a bad idea all around.

Just went at a friends house who has a 3080 & played some shit, most games stutter like crazy even at high frame rates, we're talking about a 3000€ build that has games running worse than a 399 PS5. Yeah fuck off with that lmao

He straight told me he mainly buys multi platform releases on PS5 now since stutter Land began.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Who the fuck are these people anyway that play sim racings without a direct drive wheel and hydraulic pedals? What sort of mademen are they? Fucking controllers? We should review bomb them... off the planet.

Right? This is the crowd that plays FPS with a controller.

 

[Stuart360]

Just tried the game on my PC and it runs perfect, no stutters, smooth, its not even that demanding.
I am playing at vsynced 60fps though which is supposed to fix a lot of the problems on PC. I'm also only in the starting area so i dont know if it gets worse later.

Stupid take. Guess you never even tried to play with a mouse and just repeated what you heard like a parrot and following the bleating flock. I.E. I got to NG+++ on all DS games easily. M+K is *the* best way to operate in a 3D enviroment - barred developers' incompetency.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Well deserved. Release shitty port, get shit reviews. Simple as.

Hopefully devs will get to grips with how DX12 works and we start seeing better performing games. It already happened with Hi-Fi and Atomic Heart, so here's hoping japanese devs learn their shit too.

RGG just put out a patch that fixes the stuttering in LaD: Ishin, so there's hope I guess.

Tell him to drop the porn torrents a minute

There’s no fucking way unless you explicitly picked the new wave of shit ports and that only. PS5 equivalent settings has been found time and time again to be in 2060 super / 2070 range. Even an Intel Arc 770. DF Richard’s build is roughly $800-900 depending on deals and part selection.



Or it’s your imaginary friend

 

[Adam_802]

Lol imagine playing this type of game with KB&M xD

 

[Wildebeest]

Please use the controller or I cry.

 

[MarkyG]

You release shit, expect shit in return. I hear it's a ropey port, at best. No surprise.

Even some games on my Switch at 30 fps look smoother than some games on my PC at 60-120 fps. Meh.

 

[Satansblade]

I tried to launch on gamepass PC and it launches at 720p and you can't change it.

Hot shit port. Deserves the bombs in my opinion

your pc must be a mess, because I have no such problem.

It's still a piece of shit port, but this is not a problem I've heard from anyone but you.

 

[GenericUser]

They really need to put more effort into their PC releases. This is not excusable.

 

[Arsic]

I played Nioh 1& 2 on PC well after initial pc release and saw no issues.

The Ninja Gaiden ports in general are a turd.

This game I’ve had no issues with except two things:

Cutting the bamboo trees caused a bug to make the game run in slow motion for 10+ seconds.

It has crashed a few times but luckily never at a really important part. Usually in town for me.


—-

I’m not getting stutter on a 3080. Is the game just hit or miss on certain cards? Or is the gamepass version somehow different than steam ?

Game is a lot of fun but super easy so far.

 

[j0hnnix]

sim racings without a direct drive wheel and hydraulic pedals

That hits me lol.

On the topic: I get the review bombing on the PC side, it's not hey characters vo is bad bombing, Second major release with issues from KT. I do see the genuine reaction with this. They still haven't fully fixed Wild Hearts , I understand two different developers but the QA is being missed here, step it up KT both games are great but get your QA department in check.

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

definitely deserved if basic m/k functionality isn't working properly. it's a damn pc game lol.

 

[bluecowboys]

I just realize that a 250 dollar (150 with Verizon) series s console is playing this game better than some of these thousand dollar rigs.

That is too funny.

it's not tho. the game runs perfectly fine on any decent PC

Oh wow... guy on internet runs the game absolutely flawlessly everyone..

Aren't you cool

[CGNoire]

Not suprising ...Shit looked like a cheap cash grab to begin with.

 

[hlm666]

What in the world are people smoking in here, been playing fucking 3rd person action games with mouse and keyboard since the 90's, heretic 2, jedi academy, tombraider and a bunch of others. It works perfectly fine and even has some pros, like I can still move in souls games when changing quickslot items because i don't take my hand off the mouse like you do with a controller to use the dpad with default setup, and I don't have camera issues most controller users bitch about because I hardly need the lock on. It's not like we are asking for them to add bloody assists so we can make the control setup work like you have to for controllers on fps games, we just need basic functionality, that you know, has been around for 25+ years on the platform.

 

[Labolas]

You know what's really fucked up? This game doesn't have OT.

 

[M1987]

it's not. lock it to 60fps and play with a controller, and it'll work just fine

I always play with a controller so I'll give it a try today

 

[Satansblade]

Oh wow... guy on internet runs the game absolutely flawlessly everyone..

"It MuSt bE yOuR PC" this chop says

Did I say it runs flawlessly? Lol. No, I said its a shit port, but saying it only runs in 720p with no other information whatsoever was shit tier posting. You didn’t say it was crashing when you changed res, you said you couldn’t change the resolution and it was locked into 720p. “You can’t change it”.

Tried to play a bit yesterday, beat the first two bosses, but I’m just not enjoying it. I’m not shocked though, I honestly didn’t like Nioh either.

What a chop

Did you even read the link. The game locks to 720p if certain display devices are active. I had to manually go and disable parsec in the device manager in order to even select 1080p (which still won't let me go higher) . Which means it's a shit port considering the 2000 other pc games I have played haven't had that issue.

But do tell me how "my pc is a mess"

 

[recma12]

Even on Xbox I experienced multiple crashes and Quick Resume doesn’t work.

PC gamers are well within their rights to give a negative review if the performance isn’t up to (a reasonable) standard.

 

[Braag]

I've yet to buy a single Koei Tecmo game cause I've never heard of their PC ports being anything other than dog shit.

 

[names are for friends]

Review bombing is when gamers cry that you play as a woman or poc, this is just people voicing actual issues with the game, no issue here.

It's almost as if the only difference is in tainting the activity with a negative perception, according to the writer's own subjective opinions or aims. I hope that nobody figures out how to weaponise this kind of "language hack"

I'm all for trashing a game that's a buggy POS and I'm glad this is happening but the people attempting to play games like this using a keyboard & mouse are freaks

 

[ResilientBanana]

Who plays a action rpg with a keyboard and mouse? The reviews should be auto-deleted.

Because it’s not the way YOU play? Get off your high horse and understand the game should work flawlessly from a controls standpoint as a fundamental standard as that is the first point of interaction with any game. If I don’t own a controller, it shouldn’t add to the cost of admission to simply enjoy a game on PC. If millions of other games can get it right, there is absolutely no reason this game should get a pass. Lastly, if you don’t understand what I’m saying, your opinion is absolute trash.

 

[nemiroff]

My game started up with Japanese menus.. I struggled for a while.. And then the second WTF was the Playstation buttons on screen instead of Xbox buttons.. That's so fucking "lazy devs" I have no words.. Trying to learn the game with wrong buttons was confusing. So I guess I was already annoyed at that time. But I uninstalled when I met the "tiger". Premature I know.. But fuck it. Maybe when the devs patch it. The game might be good for what I know, but it's obviously not the game for me.

 

[Fake]

Wait a minute, people are mad because the game don't work as intended and they call this 'review bomb'?

 

[Fuz]

Soft reset, you stupid cunt.

PCMR people demand absolute perfection and feel they are entitled to it. Any tiny issue that 99.9% of the people overlook will be put under a microscope, enhanced and butchered. Also, if their PCMR works as good, or is just a tiny bit less good than a non-PC console or accessory you have to scream murder, and covertly leave bomb reviews to try to kill off any competition.

What bugs me most about PC Karens are how they absolutely cannot accept that problems can be a result of issues with the PC platform generally.
All the shader compilation stutter has to be the devs fault, despite the commonality being that its a flaw with asynchronous compilation under DX12!

Every dev who releases a game on PC with any problem is "incompetent" or doesn't care... Yeah, sure. Its totally their fault that the thick layer of system software and drivers and display mods can introduce issues. Pure PC games always work flawlessly day 1!

It's the devs fault if they don't offer full shader compilation at launch. There are dx12 games where shader stutter doesn't exist so it can be done.

Devs are fucking lazy/incompetent/out of time so they should be called on bad pc version.

Too bad fucked PC releases are now norm, not the exception.
