Nioh coming to Steam on November 7, Nioh Complete for PS4 same day
- Thread starter Grim Patron
- Start date
Thanks!
What's the ratio of single-player-only missions, roughly?
Also, that's exactly 9 months after the PS4 release. Coincidence or a new exclusivity window?

Pretty much my thoughts. Wouldn't buy again but glad it's coming to Steam anyway.

Seems like it was timed to all of the DLC instead of a set time frame. That explains why they were so on point getting the Season Pass completed.

You have two means of co-op in Nioh, either with a random ala Souls or with a buddy in a 'lobby'.
Co-op with a buddy is different from a random- you can't use any rest points but you can revive each other so long as you have a resource in a meter. However once that meter runs out the mission is considered failed and you have to restart.

Ooooo, I haven't bought Nioh and wondered if they'd release a Complete Edition, so I'm glad I waited.

Great that this is coming to PC. Hopefully it's a good port and does well for them on Steam.
Apparently, there will be 60 FPS. But it'll be a part of an "Action Mode", with the other option being "Movie Mode", which is at 4K 30 FPS.
I'm going to wager there won't be any graphics options besides these. It's Koei Tecmo, this wouldn't be the least absurd thing they've done.

Very few I wanna say less than 10, but some of the single-player only missions allow coop via Yokai Realm instead of the usually summoning method.

Eh 10% ? It's a small enough number and most are just straight 1v1 boss fights which allows you to farm for them directly.
These are all optional though, main story are all co-op-able.

Very important and very much needed, Was the same as the beta basically, You and you're friend put a password then boom, Co-op the game together from the start.
So much challenge awaits you all!

The single-player-only missions are side missions that usually involve 1v1 battles with bosses. Mostly "friendly" duels with characters from the game whom you beat to get special items. These missions typically unlock once you've cleared all the main story and some/all side quests on a map. Basically, they are few and far between and you should be able to co-op most of the game easily.

Can't wait to use sloth again, unless they nerfed it.
The DLC has also been great. Wish they would go back and add the new enemies to the earlier levels for a bit more diversity at lower difficulty levels but at least you have that option if you use one of the higher difficulties.
Yakuza 0 was released in january, so probably 12 months for that one or a stealth release this month.

I'm not going to go research release dates, but I'll go ahead and speculate 6 months from the release of the final piece of DLC.
Thanks, sounds great.
Yokai realm is what I would use to play with a friend right?
It's weaker on certain bosses and higher difficulties.
You can play with a friend on both methods using a password like in Bloodborne.
Yokai Realm is for replaying missions in coop, you both start the mission together and share a special "assist" bar which is basically how many times you can revive eachother.

Enjoy PC gamers. Best combat of the year for me.

Both. There's a reason why it's happening with a complete edition.
I mean, Sony distributed the game. And as I said multiple times here: This isn't a first for Koei Tecmo:
See Ninja Gaiden 1, 2 (Microsoft timed exclusive) and 3 Razor Edge (Nintendo timed exclusive).

The Surge was good and Code Vein seems better over time

I actually started using Sloth last month so not sure if it was nerfed, but it's still extremely potent and makes every boss MUCH easier, sometimes ridiculously so. I'd go as far as to say sloth is the "easy mode" of this game. I definitely used it on some bosses that were proving to be too much for me. I have no shame!

Hope they do a beta/demo on pc too, wasn't really convinced on PS4.

I'm glad I waited for a discount!
Yokai Realm is a different mode to the standard missions.
Basically in the Yokai Realm, when your companion dies, a meter depletes by a certain amount. Once that meter has depleted fully from deaths, then it's game over. Some enemies are stronger in this mode.
In standard missions, your companion is sent back to his own world when dying like Souls games.

Yokai way is the best way to play in co-op! Removes the yellow glow around you're friend as if you were to summon them in the other way like before.
Also the challenge and enemies are harder the yokai way.
It should be a good performing port at the least but I could see them having the option be very limited. The movie mode is locked 30 and the performance is locked 60 so hopefully they will do a new option that lets you do a user set mode.

Yyeeeeeeeesssssssss!!
This game is awesome. I feared it would take years for a PC port knowing it was in development hell for so long.

I've never really tried the Yokai realm myself, but from what people are saying it sure sounds fun! I just summoned companions the same way I do in Souls games, so I guess you can play both ways and stick to one you and your friend enjoy more.

This game has the best combat ever. Cannot believe how good it feels.

Quick note of the Youkai Realm revive meter- You can also revive yourself when you're dead, in the event both you and your buddy died but it'll cost more of the meter.
Sloth used to be crazy broken now it is just good. They cut the effect duration and I don't think it works on some enemies anymore. Apparently some of the higher difficulties make it much worse.
