Hmmm. That's a turn off for me. How much of the game involves long run back to bosses when you die?

If only this game wasnt so complicated for regular reviewers. It would scored well if they understood pulsing.
This is where I put a /s or a Kappa or something.

Loading times are super short so alleviates death more also there are Shrines nearly everywhere I think they overdid it (based on what I played on all 3 alpha and beta's) so getting to bosses should be quick and you run pretty fast too
That's some high expectation. First Nier is at 67 meta. You think Platinumcombat alone will turn the sequel to 90+meta?
like I said earlier in this thread, Nier Automata's scores will be interesting.

Maybe not as much but their competition is also weaker than it was during the PS2 era. Nintendo is nonexistent atm but they do seem to have a good lineup for this year so we'll see. Xbox has been pretty bad the last few years with huge gaps and only a few during the holidays. Not that the PS4 has been stellar till now but starting last year they really started up their engines and are now getting warmed up!
It can be more challenging depending on your playstyle. But i find that there is more versatility in NIOH gameplay than souls in moment to moment situations leading it to be easier to get into depending on how you like to play games

My experience is that equipment matters a lot more than DS and it's easy-ish to power equipment off of revenants. Probably doing an SL1 build in Nioh would be pretty hard as a result, although I know Frosty has been doing everything in Nioh at lvl1 without too much difficulty. So, who knows?
But they have only made one bad game
It needs 7 more 10/10 scores to hit 90 and an average of 9/10 scores from there.

In this day and age impossible. I doubt Critics will give it a nod over anything else that is more cinematic and more a experience over a game.
On personal critic lists, it certain can win. The original Dark Souls was my top pick for that year, and Dark Souls III was only beat out by Overwatch last year. There's plenty of other people in the industry that I've met that also love and appreciate these kinds of games.
If you're talking media outlet-encompassing lists, then yes, it's probably hard.
That sounds good. I beat Ninja Gaiden Black and original DMC3 on Hard, so I should be alright.

I was wondering if the only heavy weapons in the game are axes or are there greatswords etc?

Wish I had the time to get into this game. glad to see it's reviewing well
Inside literally takes 2 hours and it's great. Just sit down and get it out of the way

What does this mean? Because Nioh is certainly an experience. Just like Souls games are. Boiling the games down to just the subset of gameplay systems loses a lot of the luster in the process.

But will it sell is the question.

It'll sell pretty good for a new IP I figure. Nothing impressive though. Maybe high-end being like 200k in NPD first month?

Overtook the switch on UK amazon, only behind zelda now.
Nioh hype, let's goooo!
I hope this game sells well for them so we'll get Nioh 2. This IP is so right up my alley.

Come on now...
Edit: If the final game's difficulty is anything like the demos, there's a lot of overstating going on in that article.

PS4 is having a better Q1 than other consoles have years.

Yeah, for some reason, it seems like it'll be another Bayonetta, and I really think they nailed the different camera angles so it's like Bayonetta, a side-scrolling platform, and an arcade shooter in one game. I think older gamers will really dig it and give it high praise. Just a hunch of course, just feel like refined gameplay will get rewarded with high praise this gen, people are tired of the AAA formula.

Nothing yet 'cause the game is like, the hardest thing ever, so their review'll come close to release.

Don't think they've given a score yet.
I hated being forced to buy the digital deluxe and that their was no physical version of that but if you don't care either way might as well support them and get the deluxe edition. Hopefully a rerelease gives us a limited edition all in one version like the souls games get in japan. I'lll easily make a double dipping.
I'm in the same boat. Probably gonna go for the standard digital version. Retail is only slightly cheaper here.
The frustrating part about that Polygon preview and all those reviews with the "only for the hardcore" disclaimer is that they're scaring people away, just like the "too hard" mystic around Souls games.
They're really not, it's more about patience and perseverance than skill. Hell, those kills landed after an hour of excruciating failure are among the best parts of these games.

I bought a $10 card to top my wallet off so I could preorder Nioh. I'm a monster for keeping it at #3

Thanks
I like your perspective! HahaThose are just PSN Nioh preorders
All is forgiven, we're good.I bought a $10 card to top my wallet off so I could preorder Nioh. I'm a monster for keeping it at #3
I completely agree with you. That feeling of exhilaration and accomplishment, riding the adrenaline rush after beating a boss on your nth try is one of the best things in the world.
