      @@hare75 I’ve played every single From game and have platinum on them. From’s game forte is unmatched level design and simple/intuitive combat. It simply lacks the complexity and deepness of more pure action game like DMC, Nioh, or Monster Hunter. Just look at the combo route any of the MH weapons can go into, and From’s game just isn’t design to contain combo branches like that. Even AC6, at the end of the day each weapons have one action, 2 at most, which allows for 4-6 different actions your build can do. Looking at Gunlance you can: poke, poke+shell, shell+shell, swing up, swing up+shell, slam down+full burst, slam down into swing, swing into quick reload into slam, quick reload into poke, wyvern shell, guard, guard poke, guard poke into shell, step, wyvern stake, wyvern stake into wyvern shell, and more if you include special move in Rise or Iceborne.

    @LukeStephens Assassin's Creed is not unique anymore. Infact there is better narrative and stealth mechanisms in the Rise of Ronin and the Ghost of Tsushima compared to Assassin's Creed Valhalla. Yes its a beautiful game but I think players start realising that the gameplay and narrative matter more than a beautiful and souless game. I predict Ubisoft has to try hard with Assassin's Creed Red or they are doomed. Mark my words the Rise of Ronin will sell well and particularly to the Assassin's Creed old school fans 😉

    i do not see any connection at all between dogma 2 and any souls like game. Not even elden ring. it is completely 100% different. If you have played Dogma 1, it plays like an old school rpg so do not forget that your lamp needs oil! From a feels standpoint, it reminds me of a Dragon Age kinda game but with action combat focus.
    Regarding Rise of the Ronin, it is a mix of Assassins Creed with Ghost of Tsushima and a dash of Sekiro. It is based on real people in a real place in a real time of history which is why it has that ac vibe. The reason to buy this game, is unlike Sekiro and GoT, this game boasts so many weapons, each of them packed with combos and power increase depth. If you ever wanted a Nioh style of game, without the supernatural stuff, in an open world setting, this game is it. There will likely never be a game like this again.

      Nioh games are solid. They have good combat. That's literally the entire appeal. There is almost nothing else going for them. 8 out of 10 is a very fair score. And it's still a very good score, so let's not act like it somehow isn't. I would also say that claiming Nioh has the best combat of any game ever is a big exaggeration imo. The combat is cool and flashy and I enjoy it, but it doesn't feel that great to me. Your hits lack impact. It doesn't feel very satisfying.

FightinCowboy is a joke, he also hated on Nioh 2 at first and then changed his opinion which he has already done with his Ronin preview if you check the top comment.

    "Their games don't typically do anything like best of the best." Bold claim that comes off as you being ignorant. Have you delved deep into their best games? Many regard the Nioh series as being the deepest and best in the action-rpg category. They are the best blend of Diablo-style build progression and end game content combined with fast and responsive skill-based combat. Oh, and let's not forget about Ninja Gaiden Black, which is often regarded as one of the best action games OF ALL TIME (and got a 94 on metacritic). And Ninja Gaiden 2 pushed the envelope on fast paced, gory combat. Few games can even compare to it.
    Go watch some 'combo mad' videos of Nioh 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 and observe how Team Ninja is a developer with a fighting game pedigree that make single player game combat systems that have depth and nuance comparable to fighting games. A lot of other single player developers COULDN'T EVEN DREAM of creating combat systems as deep and responsive as they do.

    I think most Koei games make the mistake of going open world in hopes of getting new audiences. However, it took Souls 4 tries before they perfected the formula and then expanded on it. While it only took CD Project two tries with The Witcher, it took them years to perfect each game.
    Nioh's combat and gear mechanics were done greatly in Nioh 2. However, the world and boss designs needed a lot more work. They needed another two games/sequels under their belt before they could tackle an open-world ARPG.

I think people going in expecting something like Nioh 2, Ghost of Tsushima or even Wo Long in terms of overall polish might be a little disappointed.

    After seeing Ralph's preview/impressions video, my reservations for Rise of the Ronin have increased and I think more people should temper their expectations than simply head into this game as a mix-and-match of Nioh with Ghost of Tsushima. In their attempt to go "mainstream" with Rise of the Ronin (given Sony is the game's publisher), a lot of what made Nioh attractive as a niche has been excised in favour of catering to an audience who can't handle the Team Ninja game difficulty they're known for with their action games.
    That being said, I'll more than likely play Rise of the Ronin down the line, but with VII Rebirth and Helldivers 2 still taking up my time, I'm in no rush to play this when it's released. In fact, let's not be surprised if it winds up as a free game on PS+ before the year ends when Sony's releasing this on the same day as Dragon's Dogma II. I can't see how Rise of the Ronin has a leg up when Dragon's Dogma is an established IP and far more known and anticipated.

    1) The game's graphical fidelity is absolutely poor

    3) I think both of those things would be a lot easier to overlook if we knew that the gameplay and open world shenanigans were good. Most reviews seem to suggest the gameplay is a step back from their previous titles and the world is all stuff we've seen before.
    4) Im not sold that the game is bad anymore than its good. The best we can do is not get our panties in a bunch and relax. If you end up liking it, great! If not, oh well!

    RoTR following behind Wo Long is aiming to be what Elden Ring was to the Souls series; a game that appeals to the mainstream. Nothing inherently wrong with that. It's an amalgamation of different popular games and its mechanics are comparatively oversimplified. But its console exclusivity at launch and its lack of current gen graphical allure will deter new players.
    Over the years however I think people will recognize it as a decent game.
