You mean the yokai realm? what's wrong with it? looks stylish to me

Good deal. I was planning on picking this up anyway since the demos were the best things I played last year, but to see solid reviews is a good thing too. Can't wait to pick up my copy on Tuesday. Looks like Team Ninja is finally returning to form, and that makes me very excited.
I emailed KT asking this and their response was no...
It sucks consider they used Asian version of this game for first and second demo which must confused a lot of people.

And it's a game mechanic. I like the look as well.
yeah it's crazy confusing. Guess I'll just do digital from JPN PlayStation store then...
Thank you for your answer!

Man, the more I think about this game the more excited I get. We may very well look back on this as the start of one of the best series' of this generation...
Maybe I shouldn't get that far ahead of myself, haha.

Glad I pre-ordered this in October last year. The demos made it a definite buy.

Yeah I don't get it. It's like people don't understand what "very very rare" means.

Very rare is only for the pro. The normal Ps4 is almost all the time 720p while 60 fps, right?
I really don't get why we're only talking about the PS4 Pro when only the minority of ps4 gamers own a PS4 Pro.

That's the dream!So this generation's Demon Souls ?
I don't know what it's called, have only played the first alpha but have seen some recent videos, rather than look stylish it a "hey, let's look at something that looks like untextured geometery, add a wavy effect, and and let's put some black particles that almost seem pixelated, perhaps meant to represent ink but really just looks like a mess" filter/effect. Just doesn't look good at all to me, and have been of that opinion since the reveal trailer. I've seen a few other people agree with me on that as well, but you know, opinions and all that. Wish I could just write it off as simply stylish, but it's just distracting and make the game look worse.

Because that's the best example of the game, and therefore used as a reference point.
Yeah the PS4 is mostly 720p but can go up to 900p in slower scenes. But again, that should literally not even matter itself considering its for the sake of solid 60fps. We already know the blow to FPS full res takes based on variable movie mode.
you perform a ki pulse and the yokai realm would be gone. It's part of the games mechanism I think. It hinders the ki regen. So if you don't "purge" it with the pulse it'll eventually be everywhere during the fight.

I doubt a lot of those people were ever planning on buying the game to begin with, so...

This game just went on my must buy list.

Distinctly NG how? the pace of encounters is very different.
Ninja Gaiden doesn't even rely on dividi et impera tactics like this does (since encounters are activated by entering a room).
And the stamina basically ensures that if you get ganged, you'll likely die, Ki Pulse or no Ki Pulse (Ki Pulse doesn't negate stamina completely).
Ninja Gaiden is based around constantly roll jumping around the space and moving, sometimes through the use of the UT's iframes, NioH doesn't allow that, and instead asks you to lock on and funnel enemies, like Souls/Bloodborne games.
Also "depth of the mechanics" is such a generic term that you could lop it at NG, like you could at DMC, Bayonetta or whatever else.
Projectile weapons are also in SoulsBorne games, and AFAIK aren't endless like in NG (well depends on the projectile weapon, but regular shurikens are unlimited).

Glad Jim liked it. This is shaping up quite nicely, review wise.

Wait, what kind of game is this? More character action game like Ninja Gaiden or slower paced like Dark Souls?

Does Jim drop 10/10's often? This is the first one I've seen from him so this must be something special
Wow, didn't expect a 10 from Jim. Hype through the roof!

I don't really follow him so I can't comment on the frequency but Bloodborne snatched a 10/10 from him.
Combine both! It has more stamina management than Dark Souls even, but it adds more fluid and actiony play style of the Gaiden series.
So it's indeed this year's Bloodborne(also gave it 10)

I don't think so, I remember only Bloodborne getting it?

That sounds pretty great. This game hasn't been on my radar, but these reviews are making me pay attention. I'll have to check it out after I read some GAF impressions. Good stuff.

Damnit Jim, Nioh More Heroes would have been a nice title for the OT.
Well, now.
Jim tends to be one of the few reviewers out there who give Koei's games (especially Musou stuff) a fair shake. But even this is pretty surprising!
