Nioh 2 is my goty so far. This is pretty cool and when I get a ps5, I'll be glad to play it again.

[skillzdadirecta]

NICE! The Original Nioh is on my current list of games to beat and I was JUST thinking about buying the second game. This is great news.

[DarkStar189]

I only own the complete edition of the first game. Will I get the PS5 version of that for free? Their different scenarios were descriptive but didn't really say that so I'm guessing no.

Was wondering the same. I'd love a reason to replay the first Nioh. They don't mention it so I assume no?

What do people who have it on PC get?

[gamer.tv]

I appreciate that we're getting a lot of ports...but does this generation already feel like a summary of the highlights of last gen - but at 120FPS?

Well if you want 4k visualls, 120 FPS, and ultra-fast load times on PC, you're going to have to boot up the game.

Unsure if the first one is getting the same treatment but

Nioh director Fumihiko Yasuda reflects on the series’ development and what’s next for the action-packed studio…

Nioh series is done

[Bloodporne]

Ah man. I wasn't really interested in Nioh 2, too much of the same based on the demo, but I was hoping they'd take it in a new direction with another sequel.

[Greatoneshere]

I am very much looking forward to the PC version of Nioh 2. Reviews for the game have been off the charts good.

It's out!

[Xbob42]

I'm worried it'll be too much like Nioh 1, which I enjoyed for the first two levels and almost instantly lost interest in once it switched from Dark Souls-style, tightly designed maps to a weird level select map with missions so basic they nearly felt procedurally generated. 

 

I'll give this one a shot though. Instead of going in with hopes and expectations based on a really interesting demo/beta, I'll just go in hoping to have a good time. I still get bummed thinking about the beginning of Nioh and what it devolved into, like they were building one game, found out how difficult it was to get even two good stages out, and then just gave up. 

 

But it's been long enough, let's give it another shot.

I look forward to seeing which is more brutal, the gameplay or your review of it!

Level and encounter design in the Nioh 2 demos were the exact same thing as Nioh after the first two stages. Pretty much the reason I didn't buy it.

Nioh at 120FPS in 4K is very nice! Just arrived at the first boss and was promptly pasted, but still enjoying myself!

Are you rocking the fists or split staff? Those are the cool new (DLC) weapons.

I haven't tried either, but I will give those a shot. I'm currently using my old standbys from Nioh 1,  the Axe and the sword.

I'd like to know what kind of system you have to be getting 4k/120, or what your settings are. Game kind of runs like butt. If I turn it to 1440p and the effects setting to low, I can stay at mostly 120 FPS, but 4k with effects on high and it's a rollercoaster frame rate that frankly seems broken. Especially as the game looks like a mid-gen PS4 title, and that's being generous.

I'm running a 3090 OC'd, but I've also lowered effects and shadows because those settings are broken! Once shadows are medium and effects are low, it runs great! 

[Keyser_Soze]

Yeah I was watching Max play it. He was getting super dips at 1440p with a 3080 if the effect settings were high. But it was a mostly steady 120 if he turned effects low.

 

I think there's something broken about that setting.

Thanks to everyone who purchased Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition.

We have heard your comments over the past few days about various issues found inside the game. We are taking all of your messages into account and are actively working on several updates planned to release during February and March to fix these issues.

The content of the upcoming updates include:
- Several bug fixes
- Improvement of the performance of the game via the integration of DLSS
- The addition of keyboard & mouse prompts

Thank you for supporting the Nioh series!
 

DLSS will certainly help, but only for people who have cards that can use it. I'm not sure if they include "random dips in framerate" as part of their concept of bugs, but I hope so.

 

Thing is, the PS5 experiences the exact same performance issues. Watching the Digital Foundry video for 120 FPS Nioh 2, it looked absolutely identical to what I was experiencing, just at way lower settings. These dudes need to work on their engine.

Still better than the HZD port

Thank you for playing Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition.

The game was updated to the 1.25.1 version, you can find the changes of this version below:

・The confirmation button can now be changed from “Controls”

・Fixed an issue where the lock-on target would switch when the mouse was moved, even if the “Move Camera/Switch Lock-On Target” setting was changed to an option other than “Move Mouse” in “Keyboard & Mouse Settings”.

・Fixed an issue where the mouse sensitivity could become so high that it became impossible to change the settings

・Fixed an issue which sometimes prevented the selection of certain resolutions and caused the game screen to be cut off due to the Windows settings

・Fixed an issue which made the game prone to crashing in certain environments
　※ If the game repeatedly crashes in a specific place, please try the following:
　　・Right-click on “Nioh 2 Complete Edition” in the Steam client ⇒ “Properties” ⇒ “Local File” ⇒ “Verify Integrity of Game Files”

・Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash when displaying the descriptions of equipment special effects.

・Alleviated the issue where the frame rate tended to drop when "Effect Quality" was set to "High" in "Graphics Settings".
※We are continuing to investigate and address this issue

・Reduced the tendency for the game to run slowly when certain attacks hit the walls

・Fixed an issue that caused black bars to appear on the left and right sides of the screen during multiplayer on ultra-wide monitors.

Thank you for your continuous support.

Don't have time to try it right now, but sounds good so far!

I had that happen once, moving my mouse like a quarter inch made the camera spin what felt like a dozen times. DPI of the gods.

[Xbob42]

Alright, did a little test in a few different areas. The setting does indeed seem fixed, at least from what I've played. On the first stage I killed that optional boss when I first got the game and he dropped like 8 pieces of loot, which killed my FPS by like 90%, it was utterly absurd.

 

Now it seems to be in the very high 90s/low 100s at all times at 4k/max settings, and pretty much locked at 120 FPS if I lower it to 1440p. Still not the performance you should be getting from such a basic game in such small environments, but good enough to feel good to play now, no stutters that I've noticed, though it wasn't exactly a thorough test. While it took a few days, they fixed their major performance problem faster than most games I've played, so kudos for that, despite the fact that it should've been fixed prior to launch. That said... Better now than in 3 months like some games.
