Support NeoGAF

[I Master l]

Hi Gaf

I have a un urge to play Nioh games its been years since ive beat them on the PS4, My options are building a PC with i5 12400f CPU-RX 6700 GPU or
buying a PS5 both options will cost me the same, Which one is better ?

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Only for Nioh?

Go for PC.
But maybe you want to think long term.

If that's the case, go for PC

I would get a PS5. It will usually outperform or perform close to the PC while being much more convenient and retain better resell value. Unless you're interested in the larger library of PC or modding (which is honestly really nice), gaming on a budget is better on consoles right now.

One thing though, has the original Nioh been patched for the PS5? If not, you'll be stuck with the PS4 version.

The PS5 is the best way to go for these games. They have updated versions that support higher framerates than 60fps as well.
There's a remastered collection available for both PS5 and PC.

The two Nioh games I played was so repetitive, the first not so much, but the second one.... OOF. Also, the loot system fucking sucks. But the gameplay core (how it feels) is really good

PC is the way to go. But I think the PS version runs well. So...

loot system fucking sucks

This is the main reason why I couldn't get into the first and skipped the second (although did play the beta/demo).

PC!


but honestly it depends on what other games you're interested in or maybe you'll need a pc for something else.

It took me a while to get into it. The loot and stats system is stupidly overwhelming.

PC will always be better if you’re interested in all of the advantages.

If you’re just a casual player, then get a PS5.

As for what else you’ll need I’d say some lube for when Nioh 2 bends you over.

 

[ChoosableOne]

Pc of course. And get Wo Long after those 2. It's on gamepass.

Once you get further into the game, there's a mechanic that basically completely remedies the most grindy aspects of the loot system. This goes for both games - and even more so for the second.

Already played it on my Series X

 

[Clear]

Given the state of PC ports right now, I'd go PS5.

 

[Killer8]

PS5. There is really horrible FMV quality on PC and the first doesn't even support surround sound.

 

[diffusionx]

I don't think you could go wrong, but I will say that the PS5 versions are very well done, especially of the first game.

 

[envyzeal]

Youtube, while playing something else.

 

[BennyBlanco]

PC versions are both great.

 

[SeraphJan]

PC version have traversal stutter especially in the mountain heavy stages

 

[TrueLegend]

Get 3060 if possible cause Nioh 2 has dlss.

Both have native PS5 versions. If you have a physical copy of Nioh 2 for the PS4, you can get the PS5 digital copy for free. Strangely though, the same isn't true of Nioh 1.
