Dragging myself through Odin Sphere NG+ to try and kill time before this unlocks. It's not really helping all that much. Unfortunately this is the first Friday release since my day off shifted to Thursday. I wish they'd even just unlock the character creator early.

Does anyone know if we actually have to go to the theater and have the ticket scanned? I took a screenshot of the screen where it says I unlocked the reward at the time, but checking my account after, I don't see it there.

Just saw this

oh excellent! I was worried I was going to have to come to work late so I could go to the theater and have them scan my ticket real quick lol. Looks like that won't be necessary. Thank you for this!

Loving the game so far. Is there anyway to you can change equipment but keep the look of another item?

Obviously want to upgrade my equipment but hate some of the looks

Is it stupid that I'm a huge fan of souls games (so I'm pretty sure I'll like it) - but I'm put off by the aesthetics of the game? From all the videos I've seen there's just SO much going on in each screen with the insane colours and particle effects.

Is it still worth picking up Nioh 1 first for cheap to see if I like it? from what I gathered Nioh 2 is pretty damn similar, but just a really well built upon sequel.

Damn, the opening mini-boss is really strong. Doing almost no damage, makes me wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

Think of it as an extra early challenge (you get trophy for it). It's not hard though once you learn the pattern, burst counters make it a breeze.

It is still worth giving Nioh 1 a try first to see if you can get into it you can probably just pick up a used copy and return it if you don't like it. Aeshetics are pretty a big deal for me and it's one of my reasons why I prefer this over Dark/Demon souls.

Can you fight it later and get the trophy like the good coward I am?lol

No idea, but most likely yes if you decide to go through the mission again going by the trophy description.

Yeah, got through it. Tough start though, not that I mind haha. Can you grapple him? Totally forgot about that mechanic until just now.

You can, if he's staggered and you deal enough damage you will topple him and you can dan perform grapple attack.

I'd roll with Nioh 1 to see what you think. I felt the same at first but once the gameplay clicked it all melted away.

Am I correct to assume there wasn't a ton of PC mods for the original Nioh? Trying to decide if I want to get Nioh 2 for PS4 again

I was watching a stream with english dub and while the voice quality itself seems fine, it honestly just feels out of place lol. Gonna stick with japanese again

Man. I keep rewatching the launch trailer. It's just cut incredibly well. I'll link it again so more can watch it as we wait.

I didn't play 1 on PC but taking a look at Mod Nexus...

There was only 4 mods ever released.

Edit: Correction, 3 mods. 1 is just a save file.

Sweet, thanks y'all. I'll grab the first game and try it out before picking up this sequel. I might be able to look past the visuals if the gameplay is really good - and I constantly hear about how good the combat systems are so hey, maybe it'll be fine.

Pretty sweet that it just loads your character data from the trial didn't even need to enter the code

Hey guys, so i read that this game has coop. I've looked online and seen some info but can you guys tell me what type of coop the game has.

Will I be able to play the campaign fully with a friend online?
