Nioh has gone Gold

Nioh feels like a genuine step forward for Team Ninja - and in a way, the game that Ninja Gaiden 3 should have been. The combat really hits the heights once you get an idea of what’s going on, and the menagerie of beasties here showcases a wonderfully macabre imagination. Don’t take the Souls comparisons too literally. Nioh does what every game should do, which is look at Fromsoft’s brilliant works, take inspiration from them, and build something new. There may be a lot going on here, but this is fundamentally classic Team Ninja - which is to say, it’s a game all about kicking ass, and loving it.

any word on special editions? steelbook case, CE, etc? this game is ripe for special editions imo.


Since I dropped my Switch Preorder I am getting KH 2.8, Yakuza 0 (First Yakuza game), Nioh(!!!!), Horizon, Nier, Mass Effect, KH 1.5 + 2.5, and Persona 5 (Most anticipated). Good first 4 months for RPGs, japanese ones in particular.

my man, enjoy.
 
Not sure whether I'll get it immediately due to backlog, but I definitely intend on buying this game at some point!
 
The 4k mode is not running 60FPS right? If so it doesn't look too bad. Might consider going 1080p 30 with bells and whistles.

Nope.

This game is going to be hard as hell, it's gonna have cheap ass Alma-like one shot extravaganzas. It's gonna give me heart palpitations. But I just pre-ordered it. I had no choice.. Ninja Gaiden + Dark Souls is a mix, in my heart of hearts, I know I can't avoid.

So excited for this. There are just too many games right now, though, wondering how I can squeeze in TLG, Gravity Rush 2, Nier Automata, and RE7 too. Oh, to be a teenager again...
 
Missed this thread, I'm beyond fucking hyped. I can barely contain it.
Already got that Digital Deluxe pre-ordered as well. NiohGAF let's goooooooo!!!
 
Someone please tell me, will this be the Ninja Gaiden/Souls mash-up my feeble little brain has dreamt of?

NGB is god tier game for me and Souls goes without saying. I want this beebee.


I'm happy to tell you that this game in fact Ninja Gaiden took some elements form Souls with Onimusha settings
 
I was going to pass because I didn't like the second demo as much as the first. AI felt cheaper to me in the second for some reason. But I don't know, I think I need this.
