Shame this game is always online

[Mr Jt (Gog is king)]

Sadly this game requires an always online connection. So no single player offline means the servers will die and the game will be gone. Shame

It's the demo that's online only.

Are you sure that is the case,

It doesn't say to play it, just needs it for the vengeance system and the multiplayer (duh)

What is your opinion of piracy? And Is Wolong the only game you have seen in recent years?
Team up and invasion servers give the good reason for online all time.

Stop this piracy nonsense. If you purchase a product there shouldn’t be an internet requirement if it has single player elements. This things only hurts honest customer and only encourages more people to become thieves. Pirates don’t buy the game anyway

Yes it looks that’s the case. It’s in the system requirements. Look at elden ring for example….it doesn’t have an internet requirement. I already refunded it on Greenmangaming i hope it goes through. Will probably play it on gamepass

Dark souls 3 has an internet requirement as well even though it can be played offline, i think all the signs show that it can be played offline whether you are just looking for reasons not to buy it then whatever, just don't buy it but if you are genuinely concerned then you are seriously jumping to conclusions fast, although not like you can refund if your wrong since your buying from a 3rd party.

It's just the demo, You can play the main game offline like Nioh 2 was. But still not sure why they would make a demo online only? Unless they were collecting feedback to improve the game?

[JinxTheWorld]

Online also makes modding more difficult. Games like this can really benefit from modding.

[kickerbs]

it is because it is a time limited demo i think until the game releases then it will be taken off the market, and makes it harder for people to unlock the full game hidden in the demo install which devs tend to do for some reason

The demo is 16gb big. The main game is 60 gb big. So Steam unless allows you download the remaining gb to play the full game, I don't know how they will be able to play the full game.

Generally the consenus on PC not getting demos is the files included in the demo make it a hellva lot easier to crack once the game does go live. The online only thing may help prevent that in some way I dont really know im not a hacking expert lol. But im quite sure its online for play gathering purposes data also. Oh and to OP they have already stated it can be played offline on launch just Nioh 2 ONLY the demo require online only.

[cniudae]

Probably they are testing the servers

[Freak4Leeks]

just thought i would put it here just for those who are worried i asked KOEI and they said that the full game will be playable offline.

[Muado 93]

My Dad works at Nintendo and he said this game is playable online only.

Not that I don't want to trust you, but it's hard to just believe in anyone online.

Hey man, not trusting a person on the internet is what i call smart so i can't blame ya kek.

best i can do though is paste the full reply and if you end up deciding to believe some random person on the internet then there, but in the end you'll know at launch anyway.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Thank you for your interest in our product.
For the full version, an internet connection will be required for installation, cloud saving, and updates, but the gameplay itself can be possible offline.
A broadband environment is recommended since the amount of data to be downloaded is expected to increase during installation and updates.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Koei Tecmo Customer Support

also they don't mention steam but i put steam as my platform so yeah they are talking about steam.
