Nioh 2

I think what sells this game over all the other souls-like games out there is the fact that it follows a diablo style gearing system. It's not just "this is a Sword of the McGuffin, it is identical to all the others"
Actually feels like you can do some proper builds. That said it does seem everyone uses Kingo's set and the same handful of guardians.

Probably the first game since Horizon: Zero Dawn that has had me desperate to get out of work because I NEED to play more, although I've put almost as much time into this in a few days as I did in the entirety of HZD


Yooooooo, wasn't expecting to get one so soon since they're rare as hell but I got a Yasakani Magatama drop and managed to temper it to what I wanted already. Just need to run it through a stone of penitence to +5 it after I finish +5ing my Shuten Doji's gourd

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
 
Found out yesterday that some bosses ability cooldowns are linked to FPS. 30 - 60 is fine but 120 can make them really hard. There's a few of them in zone 4/5 I think.
 
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 :)
 
For all my gushing at a friend last night about how fleshed out and deep the systems in the NG++++ content is I've decided that getting graces on accessories is pure unmitigated dookie, never mind getting star effects on them.
At least with weapons and armour you get the benefit of "inherit rarity" and "inherit grace" star effects letting you fiddle with your gear

Game crashed on me and saved at the same time so now my 50 hours of play is bricked. Not too happy

A bit late but did you try the backup.bin file in the save folder or do you have OneDrive running and covering Documents?

I can restore to any save version since starting playing on the 9th Feb

Re-installing seemed to fix it. Probably could have just verified files to the same effect but I at least have my file back
 
been playing pretty slow, just a mission per day. Near the end of the last region in NG, trying to do all side missions etc before moving on. From what I've read it's best to sortof rush through NG+ to NG++.
