Holy shit the PC version is absolute DOG SHIT. Max fps is 60, no dlss, nothing, frames drop to 50'40's on a fucking 4070ti lmao at 1440p. It stutters absolutely every second you move.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Sounds like Nioh 2's release all over again. That one did eventually got fixed, right?
Is this a serious comment?
We’ve had enemies on horses in games for decades. And no, it doesn’t look like a Sekiro Clone.

Nioh 2 renders stuff 2 m in front of you but at least it has DLSS/120 fps, and I dont remember it having any stutters at launch. Im replaying it now and it runs 100x times better than this turd. As for how it looks, yeah Nioh 2 looks like ass but well Japanese games..what do you expect.
Really? wtf
Watch the framerate. Stutters are like slowdowns lmao. Great 2023 start for PC ports.

Hopefully the final release is better because that looks rough.I'm trying the demo today,but I doubt I'm going to be able to play at any decent settings on a 6800

The earlier demo felt similar to Nioh 2, but there were a few NPC summons around that made it easier if needed. It's a hard game.

Looks awesome, loved Nioh (Haven't played Nioh 2 yet) I actually want to preorder this but my backlog is already insane.

It would if sekiro actually had any depth.

Loved Nioh 2, but absolutely cannot get my head around what they're attempting with this. Parry and dodge on the same button ranks among the more baffling decisions I've seen in game development for a while.

Cleary you have never played Sekiro.,

No I definitely have and sekiro absolutely lacks depth and gameplay variety.
Opposite actually. It's whose who are claiming that sekiro has any depth seems like never played it.
Hope the PC version is going to improve a lot by release because this like Nioh looks almost like a PS3 game. This should be running at 4K 120fps without DLSS and everything set on max on a decent spec PC.

I mean, does this game have more depth than Sekiro? It definitely has “more” stuff in it, yeah. Doesn’t automatically make it better though. Having more systems and abilities for the sake of it doesn’t necessarily translate to better game design. Bosses are very easy comparatively. And combat feels less satisfying. I still enjoyed the demo though.

I’m having some weird input lag on PS5. Camera can get sluggish and then my character will experience forced inputs. I fell off the cliff because of it as I was approaching an item.
For whatever reason it feels like the parry is being overly pushed in this second demo. For whatever reason I only focused on parrying on the first demo’s boss. Which is essentially the first mission boss of this demo.
Did they say what level you could get your character to and bring over with this demo?
On one hand it doesn’t grab me like Blood Souls Borne, but it does have my NiOh 2 attention. Team Ninja is doing their own formula. It’s addicting gameplay with a village setting. I’d say my only complaint is that they’ve kept going with this village mountain region. It’s cool, but I wish there were castles or something more dark fantasy.

Compared to what? It certainly has the most combat depth of any souls game.
This video does a good job of explaining it.

The DLC won't be there at launch, just play it on Gamepass until then and buy it during the inevitable sale when the DLC releases.
Or you can play with your feets instead of hands, yeah, such variety. All the things he is saying is just a stupid way to complicate one-note rhythm game which sekiro is. Also using fromsoftware fanboy channel as a some kind of evidence? Please.

Anyone have a chance to test out all the magic? Anything in particular OP? I’m liking the faster weapons more than the spears/clubs. What’s strange is I’m not sure how to place points. Strength and HP is all I’m putting points in.

Most baffling thing is that they still have not finalized the steelbook art!
Tried the demo, very much liked it. I hate doing the ki pulse in Nioh games. So that thing being removed plus a generous window to deflect attacks is really nice for a talentless player like me.

Yikes . I was hyped it’s on gamepass for pc, but I guess wait for patches or pass altogether now until a ps5 sale. Shame.

if the demo is any indication its safe to say that its meant for the largest audience possible, game is bordering on the easy side

Haven't had the time to try the demo, but I really enjoyed the Nioh games. So many new releases, so little time.

Boss battles can be over in a minute if you time your spirit summon right. Learning to parry is all you need to do. Chipping damage away with your weapon is useful yea, but it’s not as impactful as parrying that super move by the boss. When I got killed it was 80% of the time failing to parry.
I finished the 2nd part twice. I’ve got a level 18 character I’ll transfer over. I kinda liked the first demo more, but I’ve had fun with this demo. I don’t know how to explain it. It feels a bit different.

Folks must be playing a different game to me. This shit makes Sekiro look like a cake walk. Parrying is fuckin' abysmal: in Sekiro when you miss a parry you still get a block. In this you get to eat shit and maybe lose some morale. All risk for miserable rewards - big L from TN.

Which points did you focus on? Are you focusing on one tree, boosting the skill, and going that route? It feels like you should only focus on a set of elements at a time. I’m so use to NiOh where if you’re focusing on a Dex weapon you hit your caps first. Sounds like level 20 is the max for this demo.
That’s a nice kill you got on that boss.

Yeah same. Im all about Team Ninja games and for some reason I cannot truly grasp the feel of this game and the battle system.
Im not giving up until I do. But I'm getting worked on the 1st boss in his 2nd form.
The movement in this game feels very stiff. I feel like I'm missing something. The jump for example doesn't seem to really even do anything, and same with the double jump.
For some reason I don't really grasp the UI and what it represents. Just explained in a strange way. Genuine Qi Morale spirit attack number fatigue? I dont know when my block is going to break. Gotta do some research apparently.

PS5: Game runs great, but it's absolute dogshit visually. I find myself consistently getting lost/turned around due to everything just being the same browns.
HDR helps, but the game looks terrible.
I loved Nioh2 but feel this has 0 steps forward unfortunately. Demo did not sell it on me.

DLSS will come in a future patch and the game supports a maximum of 120 fps apparently.

I just spent two hours playing it.
I am desperate to like it. The game is so up my street. But yes, I agree. It’s bad.

That's pretty sexy not gonna lie. Why are Team Ninja so good at this, the whole making players feel empowered. Guess its time for some more Nioh 2
