It wasn't meant to spray that much, I believe. XD

Game has great Pro support from the beta. 1080/60. Or there is a higher graphical fidelity mode at 30 IIRC.

This is nonesense...
From that Eurogamer review.
This right after a strong Resident Evil 7 launch. Single player games are not in decline.
It is not a withering form either. Use terminology that evokes something desirable, not something that is dying when it most obviously is not.
Smacks of agenda-driven writing.
Thanks. Sorry if I'm being thick... but in the last chance demo there was a map where you could choose missions. Are you saying that once you've completed a mission - you can't then just access it simply again after? It's random?
(Like in Bloodborne you can just load the bonfire)
You ever see how anime with swords does the same thing? They got it from old films like this that dramatize combat in this manner
Wait...so the high level twilight and low level are the same level? Or is that only after the first mission. I have heard it cycles daily. Is this the case?
You can replay all missions as often as you want.
But Twilight mode is something else. It is a much Harder version of the same mission. In the last demo I think you could chose which mission you wanted to play in twilight mode. This can't be done in the full game.

Great reviews as expected. Still surprised with IGN's 'review in progress' score of 9. Didn't expect them to like it so much.
Yea that Eurogamer line about the state of single-player gaming is nonsensical. Just a month after almost the entire industry handed out their highest praise to Doom, Uncharted 4, FFXV, Hitman, Dark Souls 3, etc... Oh is it because Overwatch was popular?

I know all that dude, I've been watching Japanese movies since I was 12. But there's a right way and a wrong way to pull off these things, and that gif looks fucking daft.
brill thanks!
Its an old film man, give it a break. Sometimes its gonna look weird

I mean it kind of depends what the faults with the story actually are because depending on that doubling down can very well just lead to doubling down on a weakness that might not transform into a strength.
If it's just 2-3 steps away from being something really good sure. If it's kind of entirely forgettable I think playing to your strength and empowering more player customization in all the ways you can even if you have sacrifice some advantages of having a defined protagonist is better.

How does the multiplayer work?

No. Your post is nonsense. They weren't shitting on anything. They're pointing out the trend by publishers towards more connected games. There's a veritable laundry list of major games and publishers moving towards multiplayer. That line is saying it may be happening but there are still good single player experiences coming out.

benevolent sexism
You don't think single player games are becoming less common while multiplayer/service-style games are on the rise (in the AAA space especially)?
That's all they meant by that statement. The fact that a single player game just came out isn't evidence against the larger industry trend.
And even if they were wrong about the trend, they still wouldn't be saying single player games are somehow inherently bad.
It's heavily stylized on purpose, kind of like when a character in Death Note fire-hydrants blood out of his chest by stabbing himself with a pencil.

Dude, I opened up YouTube and checked my subs just to see a person by the name of PowerPyx uploaded 10 bosses already. I'm also on mobile so the thumbnail spoiled me. I looked away so fast so I only remember about 4. That channel is awesome but I'm trying to go in relatively spoil-free and that didn't help. Stay safe.

Not surprised- his MGSV S-Rank guides are pretty good.
Glad this game is viewed positively by reviewers! Will this year harken back to the PS2 era of Sony exclusives? I feel like I have a half dozen Japanese based games on pre-order at GameStop. It's such a wonderful feeling.

Yeah, his channel is awesome and that's his job so I'm not upset. It just took me by surprise.

Why does a very Japanese game that's set in feudal Japan no less features a very very very white protagonist? What am I missing?

If you go up to the 18min mark they're showing the new Guardian Spirits and their abilities.
I'm thinking no matter what kind of build, heavy samurai or light ninja, I'll always put 25 points into Spirit just so that I can use all of them @_@ They're too cool!
Deleting youtube history seems necessity at this point -__-

I've played all the Souls games and Bloodborne and admit that I resorted to cheap tactics/summoning people for some of the harder bosses in those games. For those who have played the beta or review version or have knowledge about this, is this much harder than those games? I've been hearing horror stories that are making me hesitate. I like a good challenge but I'm afraid my reflexes aren't what they used to be. Ugh, that makes me sound so old... (I'm not... HONEST!...)

So Playstation went from having no games to "too many games".........

Nioh from its conception in 2004 was based on William Adams, a western sailor who is a fish out of water in Japan
Yes, it is called way of the strong. Here is a post by a player who has beat the game on Reddit:
NG+ hits right after you complete the mission after credits. You unlock the ability to level up spirit guardians and immediately can engage with the new "difficulty" which is NG+, called Way of the Strong.
I uncovered a ton of skins, but none of them female (that doesn't mean they don't exist, however). It takes a fair time investment to earn them using glory currency, but if you do a lot of multiplayer you should be able to get them much faster (my glory came in mostly from revenant slaying)
Edit: haha beaten...

Still trying to find out whether or not users without PS+ can still access revenants.
Bloodborne & Dark Souls 3 without PS+ locks out all online functions. Hopefully it's not the same deal with this game.
