hmm , myb promotion over de?

Yup looks like over already

And... they're wrong, just like almost every "big-time" reviewer.

Unfortunately, most people will play this game with a Bloodborne/Dark Souls mentality. By playing Nioh like that, the game is worse than any Soulsborne game. Really, aside from some items, several minor mechanics (dodging for example), Nioh is almost NOTHING like Bloodborne.

The combat mechanics are much deeper, it's also several times faster paced (unless again, you play with a Bloodborne/Dark Souls mentality), and also much more flexible.

I blame the marketing by Sony too, saying to "scratch the Souls itch". Making Nioh sound like a Dark Souls clone with a Japanese feudal setting.

My suggestion is don't go in and play this game like Bloodborne. Otherwise like many have experienced, it's just boring and frustrating. USE the combos, quick switch weapons, cancel animations, quick parry and riposte. Ninja Gaiden vets, you all know what I'm talking about. Play it with the mentality of a slower NG game, not the other way around.

team ninja never disappointing us

anyone notice that some of the demon in final trial mode, some got 1 horn with bandage head , or some with 2 horns , if you use high reach weapon , you can destroy those horns and they instantly lose all their stamina.

Same goes to the female ogre boss.

Nioh not all these while 304 for deluxe versijn in pan meh?? Got discount? Y i no see geh??

Just confirmed from Impulse. Physical copy arrival got delayed to 9th of this month

Agreed, this guy plays the game more like a straight up action game rather than a soul/bloodborne style game.

is this a dark souls games alike ?

Wow seriously...? There's a video just above your post and you still ask the same question?

9th February is actually the release date for Japan & Asian region, so no it's not exactly delayed. US release date is on 7th & Europe on 8th.

Thing is for some of us, on the 9th is public holiday (Thaipusam) so hopefully we can pick it up on the 8th from Impulse.

Hi guys,

Just wondering what time the game will be playable on the 9th if i get the digital version. Thanks.

00:00 or 12:00am on the 9th.
Its like that when I po final fantasy XV digital.

Thanks. Pre-ordered the game. Bring on Thursday!

Guys, just wanna ask, is this game a very stressful one? I really enjoy the Onimusha series, but I find Bloodborne to be a chore and more of a stressful experience than an enjoyable one. (die, rinse, repeat)

I understand that this game is pretty difficult, but will it be a game where you just keep dying in order to learn? Or will it be a game where you can upgrade your weapons, HP and to make fights easier (like Onimusha)?

There's never been a Team Ninja game where you won't die repeatedly until you learn how the mechanics work.

Weapon upgrades, armor upgrades, stats buff... they're all there to help you make fights more manageable (easier or not is subjective). But it will not give you the ability to snow ball everything, you can only do that with your own skill.

You will die even more than you did in Bloodborne. I'm sure of it. I mentioned it in the previous page, you go into this game with a Bloodborne mentality and it'll kick your ass really, really hard.

If you think that is stressful, then this game isn't for you.

the setup kinda reminds me of onimusha..

Thanks for your inputs Ben. I couldn't even get past the first boss in Bloodborne, and it's very frustrating. Sold the game off in the end.

I come home from work tired at the end of the day and the last thing I wanna do is to have another stressful experience in front of my TV lol. Would rather prefer easier hack and slash games like onimusha or Diablo. Skipping this one!
