Nioh sells over 2M copies worldwide
- Thread starter Eolz
- Start date
Having played it, although it looks perfectly fine thanks to the art direction, it's clearly not a big budget game like Tomb Raider or God of War. It's on a similar level to NieR Automata. So I'd imagine the bar to make a profit is set much lower.
As much as I liked Nioh, it was no Ninja Gaiden. What I'd give for a new NG...!
I still don't own it. I'm waiting for it to finally go on sale on Steam. Hopefully during the summer sale it'll come down a bit and then I'll buy it.
The game had less loot issues before people complained about the weapon durability.
They've supported it like any publisher, just definitely not as much as most of their other titles. They didn't do a good job with it in terms of promotion.
But while Team Ninja has always collaborated on smaller titles (some musou, but definitely not a ton, fatal frame v, DOAXVV, etc), their main teams always take a lot of time when they're working on their own titles.
Feel free to check on the other older forum if you think I didn't follow what Sony did (including lying on the platform exclusive bit).

Fair enough.

Took a while longer than Nier or Persona 5, but I'm glad my number 2 game of last year finally cleared the 2 million milestone.
I really should go back to this game.
What I didn't like about it was having to go and find Komadas in every new region that you go. Kinda felt like the game was taking away my progression after every few levels.

Link* sorry autocorrect :p
Thanks!
Nah that's bs you really need to look up everything they did for Nioh to remind yourself again since there's so much I cba linking you every single thing from many places and if you still think not then again not surprised you usually have favouritism towards other platforms that are not Sonys even if you have the console that don't change it
Do I? I'm playing on every platform and like all kind of games (check my 2017 GOTY vote in my profile for example). I loved Nioh, that's why I hoped it would have had a better treatment.
Sony announced it as an exclusive (it wasn't), then did most of its promotion through trailers on their blog, and didn't release any limited edition for it. They also didn't release the complete edition that Japan got in the West either. I wouldn't call that some impressive support from a publisher.
Isn't it his job to put a positive spin on everything Microsoft?
As a gamer I don't trust this guys inside sources or his gaming opinion. And that's no disrespect to Jez as an individual. It's just that to me he seems to lead people down the "Wait until E3" path. Fueled by wild "I heard." type rumors. Perhaps it's because I'm at the stage with MS where they need to show me something. Everything else looks like pure smoke and mirrors act.
They translated it to multiple languages across Europe like they do to their first party titles, that's way more than any other publisher does.
There's a lack of options, but it's good otherwise. It's not something like Nier or DOA.
Isn't that KT that did the localization though? Like they do for most of their games?
While it is heavily inspired by Souls I have personally always seen Nioh as its own thing as it borrows from so many games. So I don't compare the Souls games and Nioh as I find them different enough for that to be unfair. Unlike straight clones like Lord of The Fallen which to me which fail to have its own identity.
Anyways congrats to the team, well deserved. I personally loved it and if they do a sequel I cannot wait to see how much further they clean up the messy stuff and make it even more of its own thing and polishing it up. Because what was there was a great foundation.

Doubt it, they don't do european portuguese on their games. I just check steam and most of their games just have at best the classic big european languages (English French German).
This is more inline with Sony first party games in Europe, they go the extra mile.
Maybe it has been Sony asking for that then yeah.
Been done by a freelance team from what I can find at least (can also be found in the credits). The localization producer is also from KT.
Especially a game that has only sold 2 million to a 70+million userbase.
Remove Asia and the hardcore who didn't already buy it and I imagine you've only got a relative handful of gamers left to sell to.
Must have been Sony request then to fit inline with their 1st party games. It even has polish subtitles, KT would never have done that of their own volition.
A lot more than 70 million considering it has been on PC for a while now.
Eh. It's a new IP in a niche genre that was originally exclusive to one platform. I think they did pretty darn well all things considered.
Very true.
It's not a particular big number when you think about it like that.
I wonder if it even made money?
Nah, it's one of my least favourite parts of Dark Souls and why I only like Demon's...
Don't appeal to Xbox demographic?
It's a Team Ninja game...
The loot system is fine, just have less of it. Seriously you kill a fucking foot soldier in this game and it drops a 100 loot items.
It also devalues exploration and treasure chests because of how much loot enemies drop.
The loot srop rate in Destiny for example is far more appropriate.

I would've bought this but I couldn't build my own character which is pretty important for me in rpgs
