I don't understand those DS elitists who are hating this game because it's not the Original Dark Souls. Like, shouldn't you be *Happy* that the world is getting more games like Dark Souls but with a different approach, charm and experience? The logic is lost here.
There's always tools like that. Same goes for the people who hated on RE7- god forbid games are not exactly like they were in the past. How dare the industry adapt!!
As a PC gamer I knew I invested in the right console when Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted 4 was coming soon. I now have way too many games for the ridiculously tiny 500gb HDD. Thank god external Harddrive support is on the way! I was just about to grab a 1tb SSD.
+dylan miller I think it is better. All down to personal preference though. I like the combat much better. The different stances for each weapon and the skill trees for massive variety in builds and a sense of progression really sets itself apart from Souls games.
+Mel D. Some people don't like a challenge I guess. There are a lot of people who play games on easy modes. This game isn't for people with no skill or observation abilities.
Scorpio supposedly has like 6 Tflops GPU and 320 GB/s, so fanboys who act like they are paid employees of x company should be worried about that. If they put some games out this time they're going to make the PS4 Pro look pretty bad. Personally I buy everything, so I don't care. I have a PS4 and PC, not getting an Xbox until they release a decent exclusive. Gears of war 4 I can play in 1440p on my PC so I don't get why I would even buy an Xbox.
Had PS4 since launch but was put off by the Pro due to not having or planning to get a 4k tv anytime soon and the fact 1tb isn't big enough I have a 2tb hard drive in my PS4 right now and have only 300gb left. However boost mode and the use of external hard drives after this update is making me think more about it now.
Kinda but it doesn't have as much DMC in it's genes. It's closer to a fighting game than a button masher. I also feel like I can break away from combat easier than I can in those games, mobility is definitely improved, and the ranged combat is greatly evolved over DS (which I thought had really bad ranged combat.) Also the fact that you have a skill based way to replenish stamina *in a fight* really makes it a lot more tactical than those games.
Man, this looks really great, but as a Dark Souls 1, 2 and Bloodborne vet, and someone who consciously skipped Dark Souls 3 after Bloodborne and The Witcher 3 combined sucked up hundreds of hours of my life (that I now think could have been more constructively spent on other hobbies/tasks), I really have trouble committing to games like this these days, as I'm a completionist, and won't stop until I'm done, even if it means no sleep and neglecting other aspects of my life. Damn you, adulthood!
EyeGodZA If you enjoy doing it, it is not time wasted. But i get what youre saying. I had a hard day at work because i only slept a couple of hours due to playing this game haha.
Sit & listen to a fascinating history lesson: The protagonist is based on a real historical figure, ship builder/navigator/astrologist William Adams. He, at age 36, became the first northern European to reach Japan in the 17th century and became one of the few elites to become a samurai who was a foreigner. He was very powerful becoming the shogun's, Tokugawa Ieyasu, personal favorite and held a very high position in the courts. leyasu loved Adams so much he prohibited him from returning to England to see his wife and two kids. Instead, Adams married a samurai's daughter and bore two kids, living in Japan until his death at the age of 55.
Why are Sony fans so insecure they have to brag about games they haven't played yet? I mean, if you only rely on reviews for an opinion on a game you have degraded your self-reliance and confidence in games.
Spooktacular Wheatley but I have played the game. it's great. I'll be honest I was expecting it to be shit but I was blown away by this game. as someone who started on PC went to xbox and now has a ps4 I can say that yes a lot of people boast before the roast. but don't say everyone who owns a ps4 is like that. I've actually played the game. it's fluid engaging and best of all really fucking hard. and I like that in a game. I hate having my hand held. from the start of the game it kicks your ass like the undead aslym in DKS. it expects you to get good at the game rather then pandering to you. so that's what I think about it. I'm sorry if I went off on a rant but all this just popped in my head so I said it.
So yeah that's my opinion on the game. I know that this game isn't for everyone and I respect that. It's for a niche market that happens to be quite large. But in the end its still a niche. Some people won't like it. And that's fine by me.
Another best ps4 exclusive of all time. Give up, Xbox fanboy. Sell your Xbox one s or trade it to ps4 and buy this game and own it. If you don't SHAME ON YOU!
For anyone interested, Edward Kelley was also real person, something of an apprentice to Elizabeth I's court magician John Dee. Though, unlike Dee, who only claimed to dabble in white magical 'angel conversations' and divination through his black mirrors (obsidian stones brought from the new world), Kelley was accused of black magic proper and many disparaging texts about him came out towards the end of, and after, his life.
Not really. If you enter NG+ and higher in Dark Souls, Demon Souls, and Bloodborne, all bosses typically one shot you. You'll become better as a gamer anyways from working on your reflexes.
Good thing that doesn't happen in this game if you're playing it diligently. Don't listen to this reviewer he's clearly not learning the lessons the game is BEGGING him to learn.
I love my PS4, but Sony Fanboys are definitely getting annoying. There is no need to constantly bash xbox users. We all get it, the exclusive count on xbox isn't as high as Sony or Nintendo, but there are still some great games on Xbox and I am optimistic about E3 for all 3 console manufacturers

Google Search: PlayStation 3 - Wikipedia Right below in the Original model paragraph, it says: PS3 was given the number-eight spot on PC World magazine's list of "The Top 21 Tech Screwups of 2006", where it was criticized for being "Late, Expensive and Incompatible".

Papa Pimp No, but my Brother owns an Xbox one and he really loves it. I am definitely more of a Sony/Nintendo guy. I am just not a fan of all the negativity. Maybe I am getting old.
It's not brutally hard or unfair... It just takes some concentration and thought. You need to approach a game like this with the mindset that dying is just going to happen, sometimes often. If you get stuck there are quite a few ways you can approach whatever is causing you trouble. The game gives you a shit-ton of tools and answers to everything it throws at you.
Playing it now and Nioh is giving me the same feeling as Dark Souls 1 where I spent so many hours in. Hopefully I will get my money's worth with Nioh as well.
This game everything about it people say is awesome, I just can't get over graphic style though I don't like it. The darkness is super off putting but just idk the graphic texture is like.... 'chalky detail' best way to describe it.
Seems good alright. But it surely is inferior to Ninja Gaiden Black. This high level of a mix of versatility, uniqueness and reasonable difficulty is to yet be seen since Dark Souls in a game.
Can you turn off those numbers that show your damage? Honestly things like that ruins a whole game for me. I guess it's from all my MMORPG playing back in the day, I just can't stand it anymore.
gaming community is so sad,why can't we all be happy that we have another game that was released that wasn't half assed and stripped down to dlc,instead ppl are bashing xbox and pc owners for not having nioh on the other consoles,i have both x1 and ps4 and yet I still play both as much as i can,i just dont understand it

Nah i believe you bro its just all this shit is old now and ppl are still shitting the system or pc they didnt buy and vice versa its just pathetic, and yet you have phil spencer shaking hands with Sony employees even though they are both against one another in competition. So you would think that people would get over themselves with all the console war bs lol
I seriously hope E3 has some Xbox One exclusives announced because so far, it seems like the PS4 has at least 1 exclusive coming out every month. I mean just last month we had Kingdom Hearts 2.8, Gravity Rush 2, Tales of Berseria, and Yakuza 0 and now this month has Nioh, Nier Automata and Horizon Zero Dawn (which I hope is good).
Right around the time I got my PS4, the beta was available on PSN for a limited time. I played the game day and night before I even touched my pack-in game (Uncharted 4), and I have been looking forward to its release ever since. The wait is finally over :)
Wow U4 was my pack in game too. What did you think of it once you had played Nioh? (I had to return my U4 copy because it wouldn't let me play enough and I'm not really into games for their stories.)
This is why you get two or three consoles. That way you can play pretty much everything. Also, it's great for the industry. Competition breeds innovation.
jdrobin1 I have a PS4 & PC..I buy the PS4 exclusives for my PS4 & Xbox exclusives on my PC (Xbox not needed) will get a Switch by the end of this year when there's plenty of games of it
Super Biker That's dope. I'm a firm believer in getting multiple hardware units. Some combination of the PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, 3DS, Switch or PC. Fanboyism is bad for the industry.
lol breeds innovation, yet we have 2 consoles that are basically the same shit just different games. the only one doing innovation, or atleast really trying, is Nintendo whether they fail at it or not is debatable but they are doing things different none the less.
I just bought this, about to play it now. The first shop I went in it was sold out for PS4, but the kind lady said they had copies for Xbox One. I laughed.
I really respect that level of *discipline*. ^ ^ I just picked it up on my day off yesterday and I'm putting in like 4-6 hrs on each of my days off. Easy. That's kind of how it goes with a new game though.
Asshat i have platinum in bloodborne and finished the first dark souls, played a good amount of 2nd and 3rd. Even played and finished lords of the fallen aswel as salt and sanctuary . Nioh is better than all of those games.
Dat kusarigama weapon.... epic. When you get a choice of weapons - that is what i chose as a main hand - cus i wanted more of a challenge / use a different type of play style than normal darksouls sword etc.... wow was it a great choice too :D
man im loving this year so far i just bought Kingdom hearts 2.8 and Nioh than in March im buying Nier: Automata and kingdom hearts 1.5, 2.5 then in April Persona 5 comes out than in May Injustice 2 comes out fuck man these upcoming months are insane
Nintendo has a great game, they celebrate. Xbox has a great game, they celebrate. PS has a great game, comment section full of people talking about Xbox and "PC beggars" lol. Pathetic.Might be worst community this generation.
Nintendo has a great game, they celebrate. Xbox has a great game, they celebrate??????Thats a lie If nintendo has a great game nintendo fanboys brag about their games and bash sony and microsoft,If xbox has a great game xbox fanboys also brag about their games and bash ps4 games same thing with ps4 owners so all fanboys are doing that not just playstation community!
I was surprised to see "Captured on PS4". Judging by how every walkthrough and review videos here, on youtube, are captured on PS4 Pro, I thought the base ps4 was already dead.
All I want is another (good) Ninja Gaiden game. TN said this game will act as a "gateway" to NInja Gaiden in the future, so if that means I have to buy it to show my support, I will.
game review should start having " savage level " score the min i punch the shit out of london tower guard i know this game would be an even faster soul, shit is just fast and hard, damn! this game is good
Just picked this up after hearing all the good things. I've never played any of the Souls games, they just never interested me, I'm hoping I'm not in over my head. Can't be flinging my controller out the window. Windows and controllers cost money I don't have right now!
I never liked the souls games because of the obtuse storytelling which prevented me from immersing myself into the games and even caring about finishing it. Nioh has a concise storytelling and fast paced combat which I love. Every death feels like a learning experience and through my failures I'm getting stronger and smarter until I finally kick ass. Nioh has what dark souls lacked for me and I am definitely gonna play this for a long time.
That spoiler warning is easily miss able lol. The review itself is spoiler free but if you want certain enemies and and levels to be a surprise I suggest you just read the review or listen to the review only.
Are you playing Nioh? What do you think so far?
GameSpot it's addicting.
I don't understand those DS elitists who are hating this game because it's not the Original Dark Souls. Like, shouldn't you be *Happy* that the world is getting more games like Dark Souls but with a different approach, charm and experience?
The logic is lost here.
+Matt Gray It's because it's not Dark Souls.

the main character of NIOH looks basically like Geralt but in a different artform

Geralt got suck in a wormhole and ended up in Japan. XD

Star Wars :Rouge One BEASTISCOMING
Star Wars :Rouge One don't be. They made their choice 😁

I can see myself playing this game for a long time to come!

This is my GOTY so far!

Definitely picking this up. then HZD in like 2 weeks then NieR the following week! PlayStation is where its at!
isn't Nier also on PC? just curious
+TitNinja timed exclusive
Horizon Zero Yawn.
you're right hamlet 😁. there will be zero yawn cause this will be a good game.

( Scorpio RIP 2017-2018)

watching a review of nioh but you only hear dark souls this dark souls that
pepenaker because it's just dark souls with a different skin.
Abel Villa except it's not. Obviously it's inspired by Dark Souls but the actual combat is nothing like it.
Abel Villa psh, its more tenchu and onimusha than dark souls.
@akiraguy amen to that
akiraguy With a definite feel for the Ninja Gaiden series.
One of the best games I've played in a very long time!
Wow never expected Gamespot to give it a 4/10
ExKorpio they gave it a 9...
Alex Townley It was a joke
Alex Townley For lazy fucks that don't watch the review.
ExKorpio I bet you will get a lot of people pissed, lol
Saint Link hopefully
Sony keeps destroying the competition.
slampog It's also on PC
Irohen it was an exclusive when it released.
This is Koei Tecmo. Sony didn't make this
I just want another Ninja Gaiden game.
Joseph Ocasio The memories of playing the first game are irreplaceable...
blame Itagaki
Joseph Ocasio I don't.Unnecessariliy hard
Yeah... I just want another Onimusha game.
Me too. The success of Nioh will help Team Ninja bring Ninja Gaiden back though.
I know Phil Spencer planning that early retirement right about now 😅😅
I fully agree with all the praise it gets ... Its challenging but an extremely fun and rewarding experience.
Might get a PS4 later this cus the exclusives are looking good.
+Rosencrantz23ph if he has 4k tv then get a pro
+Rosencrantz23ph so pro improves the game when on standard 1080p tv?

4/10
- is not on Xbox
- samurai do not speak English
- Sony paid gamespot to give this game 9/10
That's just Nioht true.
sorry buddy,didnt go well
William is based on a real life samurai.
>its not on Xbox
I can taste the salt from here
samurai don't speak english... wow... hate to break it to you kid but there also aren't demons in real life. Sorry you had to find out like this...
So Dark Souls mixed with Onimusha?

It's more like Ninja Gaiden, not DMC.
Animeist72 more like a Ninja Gaiden Spiritual successor with some Dark Souls elements. And a pinch of Onimusha
Yes is the feel i get
Man, this looks really great, but as a Dark Souls 1, 2 and Bloodborne vet, and someone who consciously skipped Dark Souls 3 after Bloodborne and The Witcher 3 combined sucked up hundreds of hours of my life (that I now think could have been more constructively spent on other hobbies/tasks), I really have trouble committing to games like this these days, as I'm a completionist, and won't stop until I'm done, even if it means no sleep and neglecting other aspects of my life.

The year of corona, Ps5s and Xbox X the X'enning or whatever it's called now
And here I am getting pulverised at Nioh on my PC for the 1st time
I just picked this game up I'm loving it a definite must have
At least xbox getting that 4k minecraft with the Scorpio. Right..... XD

GamesRadar ranked PS3 as the top item in a feature on game-related PR disasters, asking how Sony managed to "take one of the most anticipated game systems of all time and - within the space of a year - turn it into a hate object reviled by the entire internet", but added that despite its problems the system has "untapped potential".
Nah i believe you bro its just all this shit is old now and ppl are still shitting the system or pc they didnt buy and vice versa its just pathetic, and yet you have phil spencer shaking hands with Sony employees even though they are both against one another in competition. So you would think that people would get over themselves with all the console war bs lol
...when the hell did i ever say i do that? im speaking in terms of why people in general do it.
This game has very strong and engaging opining. However, the last missions feels repetitive expect for the last boss.
A masterpiece...
Sold out at my local GameSpot and Best Buy stores. 😕
I seriously hope E3 has some Xbox One exclusives announced because so far, it seems like the PS4 has at least 1 exclusive coming out every month. I mean just last month we had Kingdom Hearts 2.8, Gravity Rush 2, Tales of Berseria, and Yakuza 0 and now this month has Nioh, Nier Automata and Horizon Zero Dawn (which I hope is good).
Don't worry Xbox gamers,you still have dark souls

Dont rub too much salt in their wounds bud, its been a hard few years for xbox lol
Right around the time I got my PS4, the beta was available on PSN for a limited time. I played the game day and night before I even touched my pack-in game (Uncharted 4), and I have been looking forward to its release ever since. The wait is finally over :)
Wow U4 was my pack in game too. What did you think of it once you had played Nioh? (I had to return my U4 copy because it wouldn't let me play enough and I'm not really into games for their stories.)
This is why you get two or three consoles. That way you can play pretty much everything. Also, it's great for the industry. Competition breeds innovation.
jdrobin1 I have a PS4 & PC..I buy the PS4 exclusives for my PS4 & Xbox exclusives on my PC (Xbox not needed) will get a Switch by the end of this year when there's plenty of games of it
Cookie Donkey where in my original post did I say that I had an Xbox? LOL
Super Biker That's dope. I'm a firm believer in getting multiple hardware units. Some combination of the PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, 3DS, Switch or PC. Fanboyism is bad for the industry.
lol breeds innovation, yet we have 2 consoles that are basically the same shit just different games. the only one doing innovation, or atleast really trying, is Nintendo whether they fail at it or not is debatable but they are doing things different none the less.
HAHA! I meant it's good to have a choice.
I just bought this, about to play it now. The first shop I went in it was sold out for PS4, but the kind lady said they had copies for Xbox One. I laughed.
been playing this game for last 2 days in daily 2 hour sessions and i am loving it :) Hands down one of the best games iv played.
I really respect that level of *discipline*. ^ ^ I just picked it up on my day off yesterday and I'm putting in like 4-6 hrs on each of my days off. Easy. That's kind of how it goes with a new game though.
have you played dark souls or bloodborne?
Asshat i have platinum in bloodborne and finished the first dark souls, played a good amount of 2nd and 3rd. Even played and finished lords of the fallen aswel as salt and sanctuary . Nioh is better than all of those games.
dknight xs nioh is great,but bloodborne is better in my opinion.
Dat kusarigama weapon.... epic. When you get a choice of weapons - that is what i chose as a main hand - cus i wanted more of a challenge / use a different type of play style than normal darksouls sword etc.... wow was it a great choice too :D
this game is seriously good n challenging...the battle system is crazily fun!!
man im loving this year so far i just bought Kingdom hearts 2.8 and Nioh than in March im buying Nier: Automata and kingdom hearts 1.5, 2.5 then in April Persona 5 comes out than in May Injustice 2 comes out fuck man these upcoming months are insane
Nintendo has a great game, they celebrate. Xbox has a great game, they celebrate. PS has a great game, comment section full of people talking about Xbox and "PC beggars" lol. Pathetic.Might be worst community this generation.
Nintendo has a great game, they celebrate. Xbox has a great game, they celebrate??????Thats a lie If nintendo has a great game nintendo fanboys brag about their games and bash sony and microsoft,If xbox has a great game xbox fanboys also brag about their games and bash ps4 games same thing with ps4 owners so all fanboys are doing that not just playstation community!
Would you like to review Strayspells?
I was surprised to see "Captured on PS4". Judging by how every walkthrough and review videos here, on youtube, are captured on PS4 Pro, I thought the base ps4 was already dead.
How many bosses did Gamestop spoil in this video ? That giant blob was awesome but damn I wish I didn't see it here
This is the first time I finish a game before Gamespot
this is probably the closest we'll ever get to another Onimusha game
Should I get this even if I have never beaten a DS game?
All I want is another (good) Ninja Gaiden game. TN said this game will act as a "gateway" to NInja Gaiden in the future, so if that means I have to buy it to show my support, I will.
you showed way too many bosses in the game. I know there is a spoiler warming but holy shit.
C W yeah i thought the samd thing.. there really was no reason to show like 5 diffrrent bosses :|
619Callaway there's soooooooooo many more bosses don't worry.
I hope this gets released on PC
not gonna happen. consoles need all the exclusives they can get
King Mic Lawry Just get Dark Souls 3.
Since dark Souls was ported maybe this will
Damion Dixon true
King Mic Lawry won't happen scrub Sony owns
It
geralt has now been sucked into a wormhole and now transported to japan where he now becomes the first samurai witcher. OH YEAHHHHH!
Why have a review that might contain spoilers???
so Geralt became a Samurai!
I can't be the only one who thinks that he looks ALOT LIKE GERALT!!!
i was hoping for 10. giving the praises he gave in this review and in the review in progress video. oh well, i guess 9 is still a great score.
Nioh: Complete Edition FREE on Epic Games Store
game review should start having " savage level " score the min i punch the shit out of london tower guard i know this game would be an even faster soul, shit is just fast and hard, damn! this game is good
It's all fun and all until you get half way through the game and realise the second half is exactly the same enemies throughout.
The protagonist looks like a youthful Geralt.
I'm just a scrub, and will skip this for HZD. Another great exclusive in a row nontheless
Should have Just Made an Onimusha Remake
everyone here but this game so we can support the developers to make a new game similar to this.
Microsoft had a few months of XBONE sales & everyone said they were winning. Nah.
Witcher 3 and Onimushas lovechild meets Bloodborne. What a combination.
Not a fan of Dark Souls games but I'm planning to buy this game for it's story, I wonder if it's good.
"some enemies can kill you in a single stroke' they say as the video has the character at half health, COME ON. BACK UP AND HEAL...
Just picked this up after hearing all the good things. I've never played any of the Souls games, they just never interested me, I'm hoping I'm not in over my head. Can't be flinging my controller out the window. Windows and controllers cost money I don't have right now!
lol he died to the sea monster boss thing. that thing was cheese. hit me once.
Geralt is a samurai now?
I never liked the souls games because of the obtuse storytelling which prevented me from immersing myself into the games and even caring about finishing it. Nioh has a concise storytelling and fast paced combat which I love. Every death feels like a learning experience and through my failures I'm getting stronger and smarter until I finally kick ass. Nioh has what dark souls lacked for me and I am definitely gonna play this for a long time.
Wow, Quelaag makes a cameo. This guys really liked Dark Souls, didnt they?
oh boy can't wait for horzion zero dawn on the horizon
+ionic0, same here.
That spoiler warning is easily miss able lol. The review itself is spoiler free but if you want certain enemies and and levels to be a surprise I suggest you just read the review or listen to the review only.
what Nioh means?
I haven't touched my PS4 Since 7months, you think this game is a must buy?
DrViiisTaR if you like witcher or dark souls yes.
It's nothing like the witcher lol
Buying a PS4 end of this month and i legit cant wait to play this game. Uncharted 4 first though.
I
Jack Mae play Nathan collection cuz uncharted 2 is the best game of the series.
You're going to be dirt poor trying to play catchup with all of the PS4 exclusives lol.
I have a damn good income so i'll be fine lol
NOT ALL LOOT DROP IS DIABLO GAMESPOT jeebus.
Thanks for mentioned the coop problem. I though that the coop mode would be the same as the beta. But they chance. And it was not a good chance.
Playing it and love it but i don't understand the ki pulse thing. it does not seem to actually do anything.
When I use it at the end of a combo (my only chance to without getting nommed,) it refills my stamina about twice as fast as normal.
I don't get along well with these kind of games but got to say Nioh is great
