You should be fine. I'm a total noob and my reflexes are shit and I was able to beat the bosses. If you are stuck at a boss you can summon someone.

I'll probably just summon help and scum my way through bosses. Not quite ready for another backbreaking game, but this is the type of game I want to experience along with every one else while the community is going strong.
I assume they knew what trade-offs were and deciding partnering with Sony was worth it.
If you're looking at PSNProfiles those numbers are always way out of line. It lists 24% of Bloodborne players as having that game's platinum when actually only ~6% have. For Gravity Rush 2 it lists a 6.5% platinum rate when PSN itself says ~1.2%.
By what the current reviews have said, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some lower scores later on. Seems like combat is the only stellar thing about the game, whereas level design and story seem to be lacking. I know there's plenty of players out there who can survive on gameplay alone but I can just see that being a reason as to why some scores come in lower.
Game looks great either way.
A few reviews talk about how spectacular the final boss is. But can we not bring in the hardcore Souls mentality of whether some reviewers have the cred to review a game like this or not.

there's a huge market for souls games on PC, it's gonna be reeeeeally weird if it don't end up releasing there
also the game looks like steaming hot garbage on the normal ps4 and that artstyle deserves a better hardware
From my PS4.. I have the game (still not finished).. and I just checked the latest percentages on my PSN phone app ..
The trophies are directly from PSN.

Could release on PC later date, it's KT ip after all and most of their games are on PC.
Do not read to much into SIE publish in the west, but let's enjoy the game regardless.

Yes
but the trophies should still count on the Percentage on PSN.. you can hide them from public view. But the trophies still count towards the overall percentage on PSN.
Unless I am mistaken...
Not surprised at these scores at all. Game is an absolute fucking blast to play.
Early review embargo shows confidence from the devs/publisher.
Quick question...can anyone remember a publisher setting an early review embargo like this, but then the game tanks and gets poor reviews?

Hell yes.
Well, they also gave Bloodborne 9 or 10
Red Dead Redemption 2 and Super Mario would like to have a word with you
I really hope Red Dead is as good as the first one.

Glad to help. There is even a password summon system like Bloodborne. We are going to have a GAF password.

Quantum Break. 76 isn't horrible, but it is very bad for supposed new blockbuster IP.
Get your point begging, trolling out of here. Don't you ever tire of your act in PS threads?

Oh I will. I'm counting the days. Going ham on projects and assignments in my classes to have plenty of free time. Knocked out like two weeks of Ruby assignments/projects in the last two days lol.

I really want everyone to know how much more Titanfall 2 sold than Nioh. It was a staggering amount.
Port begging....I used to do this because want play "free"
games, I really changed a lot past few years
Yesterday someone asked me help him install pirate Windows and Office, reminds me a lot of things
pirate
Yeah, I also cheated on online, I was a badass
When I was child, everyone in my country used pirate, now more and more people would like to pay for software, I am one of them

What?
We don't know how many review copies are out there, and are only about 20 scored reviews out there. If there are a couple hundred review copies of Nioh out there then those numbers could easily be accurate AND reviewers aren't lying when they say they've finished the game.
Also do trophy percentages update in real time?
Indeed, Sony will never beat PS2's glory days but the PS4 is gonna be their second best console most probably, Sony is back being super dominant with sales and with games line up this gen.

Any reviewers talk about the FPS, action mode etc that should be worth some points alone
Lol it's more than I expected

Red dead 2 compete in 2018, forgot about Mario but Zelda tho...
Just making sure since people use those sites for source a lot when looking at trophy percentages.
That is definitely interesting but then again they might just not sync their trophies or something. Also it is hard to tell how many people have the game already and how many of them are reviewers.
Lol wtf
It's not surprising, this game is way fucking hard. It doesn't mean they won't like it, but they might just 'say' they played enough if ya know what i mean.

Well they said 2017, but it seems most are expecting a delay.
I don't know, you might be right.
Great scores. One of my fears was that the environments and level design might be a bit lacking, but I guess it wouldn't have gotten so many 9's in that case?
I really liked playing the alpha and the last chance beta, so I know it will play awesomely. Actually, the only reason I would like the level design to be stellar is because I'm comparing it to Souls. But I should stop doing that.

Great reviews! Since the first alpha, I always said that this weird "bastard" of Souls-Loot-Ninja Gaiden with the feudal japanese background was amazing. And as a fan of Souls and action games, its very refreshing to see a studio to tackle the genre spicing things a bit.

I have feeling we have seen anything when it comes to level design. Not saying it will be amazing like Souls caliber, but I expect more than what we have seen in the alpha and betas.

Phew,I'm relieved I was worried it wouldn't live upto the hype,so-so pleased it's getting high scores

What's up with you and pirating tonight? First Windows, now games?
From the stream ive been watching level design still isn't as good as a souls game but it's above the ususal "everything is flat" syndrome.
