Just wondering if anyone is picking this up today?

£27.99 on cd keys at time of writing but I'm sure that will go up later as it's launch day.

I liked the first but didn't finish it.

This was until now a PS4 Exclusive game, had very good reviews but is apparently very unforgiving

Tempted. However I've so many games, I've brought and never got round to playing, as it's a thought of "I'll get round to it". Never do. Hmmm.

I'm torn. It's the price that's tempting me, compared to £49.99 directly on steam.

But usually with cd keys, if it's been that price before, it will be again.
 
Decided to wait.

Early steam reviews are mixed many claim it to be a lack luster port though all the reviews I saw from critics were pretty happy with it.

Usual complaints of ultra wide issues and issues for kB/m.. why would anyone play these games with kB/m is beyond me but each to his own ;)

I'll wait a bit

Well, I play them with kb&m! :)

Vastly prefer that to controllers. Glad to see I'm not alone!

Tbf, the issues I've read from the negative Steam reviews look pretty minor to me: mostly the fact that controller prompts show up even if you set it to use kb&m (same as Dark Souls and a fair few other console ports - a minor annoyance, but so long as you know your keybindings not a big deal is it?) and no support for super-ultra wide but with 21:9 supported okay (I mean, I guess this would be an aggravating issue if you had a 32:9 set-up or something, to be fair).

I've seen some reports of stuttering and sudden fps drops too, and I recall the first Nioh had these same issues on the PC if you didn't have a controller plugged in (even if you were using kb&m). Can't help but wonder if the same thing is happening this time around too.

Sorry, may have come across as dismissive there.

I use kB and m for certain games but anything 3rd person just suits me better on a pad!

Indeed seems weird that it only shows controller prompts. Probably a patch to solve that

I'll be waiting for some price drop since I got Nioh 1 at half price than this.

Finished Sekiro, Nioh 1 and Souls trilogy on PC. Bloodborne and Nioh 2 open beta on PS4.

Hope we get Ghost of Tsushima on PC too.

It's about £26 on key sites, half of what steam are charging directly. Seems a pretty fair deal
 
Still not really had a chance to sink my teeth in to this. Had about an hour so far. I've gone with sword and axe for now.

It's clearly a deep game, excited to learn more about it. The Ki Pulse and various stances for different situations will take some getting used to. Seems to run well enough too
 
What weapons types are you all enjoying?

I've mostly gone Axe so far but only finished the first mission so far. Enjoyed the boss.

I must go back and do the mini boss at the start of the mission, I went around him originally. I assume I can pop back in and have a go at any point
 
2nd boss down last night. He gave me a bit of jip but mostly to me not managing Ki very well yet.

Still running with the Axe and enjoying that. The boss dropped me a nice new one.

DLSS being added has allowed me to run this at 1440p 120hz in balanced mode on a 2060s. What a feature that is
 
I'm plodding through slowly just due to limited time right now! Did the 3rd main mission up to the boss last night. Loved exploring all the caves.

The Axe absolutely destroys at the mo :)
