Tried to launch the game at 1080p, and it crashed immediately. I had to run the game at a higher resolution to then have the GeForce app override the in game setting to bring it back to 1080p. That's already ridiculous.
Next, when I got into the game, one starts off in a cell as a prisoner. I quickly noticed the UI was displaying the console controls instead of M/K as I knocked down a wall into another cell (something you apparently have to do). So I opened the menu, into the setting to see if this could be changed, when I was attacked by a guard whilst doing so. My heart then sank as then I knew what kind of game this was. A "From Software" clone trying to be Dark Souls in every aspect including this ridiculous idea that game doesn't pause. I'm going to uninstall Nioh and never play it again.
I'm not gonna turn this into a massively long rant about how god damb stupid it is to programme a game this way because it's obvious why. Pausing is a basic, quality of life feature that games need, end of story. Omitting the pause feature doesn't make a game more challenging, only more fussy and arrogant, like "How dare you go into the menu and expect me to stop for your convivence!".
So f*** Nioh, f*** Dark Souls, f***Demon Souls, f*** Bloodborne and ever other game with this pointless, regressive and utterly stupid feature.
