Nioh 2 Avoids Late Delay as Game Goes Gold

Woah, a game coming out on time. That’s a first for this year 😂

So you a 20 GB day one patch is a better then a delay...

Are you kidding me ill buy it on discount then.

And with that non-delay, Nioh 2 will outsell all predicted sales models.

I really hope this game does well. The first NiOh was a wonderful game that got stuck in dev hell for years.

I hear so much about Nioh, is it any good?

I am interested in the game, but I played the first demo that was put out and I absolutely hated it. I heard the game changed a lot since then. Can anyone tell me what changed since the very first alpha demo and why this game is so great?

Yay - a game ISN'T being delayed!

Boo - I have no interest in playing it.

But.

Yay - I have a big backlog anyway.

Boo - But I'll forget all of it to be Last of Us 2. How many months, weeks, days, minutes until it's released?!

Anyway, Nioh 2. I hope everyone that buys this game enjoys it.

@GamingFan4Lyf Do you like Souls-like games? If you do you'll like NiOh. If you don't you won't like NiOh.
Basically it's a souls-like set in japan. It's a mission-based game, doesn't have the open maps like From Soft games, but each area is usually pretty meaty.
The loot system is more akin to Diablo/Borderlands than From Soft games as well.

@Flaming_Kaiser Of course a day one patch is better than a delay.

@LiamCroft Ok lets agree to disagree fully finished games arent a thing anymore.

The library of games you can play out of the box is zero nowadays anyway.

Oh wait im mistaken indie games on Limited Run games are patch free.

@Flaming_Kaiser Don’t worry, I saw your original message 👎

@Athrum Yes, I like Souls-like games. I didn't at the time when I tried the Nioh Alpha demo, but I grew to appreciate them over time thanks to Bloodborne, Dark Souls Remastered, and Sekiro.

@GamingFan4Lyf Then you will probably like NiOh. It's a bit more fast paced than Souls, more in tune with Sekiro.

@Athrum Well I loved Sekiro the most, so I guess I should give it a chance one day - after I finish Death Stranding, Shenmue III, Final Fantasy VII Remake, The Last of Us Part II, and Ghost of Tsushima.

Maybe it will fill the gap until I get around to buying a PS5 - lol!

@Flaming_Kaiser @LiamCroft Frankly, a 20GB day one patch shouldn’t be allowed. I’m serious, within the first week or two there should be a limit on patch sizes so developers can’t rely on them so much. I get it, bugs will get through, it used to be too late to fix them before patches, but it’s gotten out of hand. It would help prevent rushed games because published couldn’t assume a day one patch will save their game not being ready, and then even the patch doesn’t do it.

@LiamCroft Thats why i removed it wasnt nice but it also shows we dont agree about a lot of things. MGS Survive isnt a 8/10 game and releasing a broken physical copy is a joke. If you push it back a little further i would be impressed. But with these backlogs i wont reward a crappy physical copy.

NiOh was great and all, but I’m excited to make my own unique character this go round. And the NiOh 2 demo was excellent (other than the difficulty issues); really enjoyed the new demon powers. With all of the heavy hitters delayed, I’m glad to have this space to enjoy NiOh 2, because I think it’ll be pretty epic.
