I hope this sells well for those who like this type of punishment. This type of aggravation isn't for me, so I'll be waiting for the next Gaiden.

SilverDemon3412d ago

Punishment?
It's called challenge

opinionated3412d ago

It's not as bad as you think. As long as you can make it back to where you died you can basically farm your level. Once you are level 10 those first enemies that killed you in one hit are fodder like they are supposed to be. In bloodborne it's much more difficult, death is death and you start over. You should give it another try this weekend. You will die a lot but you are never not "leveling up" unless you lose a bunch of xp by doing something stupid which really sucks lol.

starchild3412d ago

Ninja Gaiden has always been a challenge too.

In any case, Nioh is very exciting for me. The gameplay, the setting, the atmosphere...all of it resonates with me and I hope it does well so that it becomes a franchise or inspires other devs to make similar kinds of games.

what punishment?
Dark Souls is easier than Ninja Gaiden

After getting the plat. from Bloodborne, i am excited for Nioh.. Though i'll have to see few tutorials to know and understand few things.

Wallstreet373412d ago

This will tide me over until Dark Souls 3 new dlc. I love these type of games. Damn and Horizon later that month, then Zelda and Switch wtf! I haven't finished my extensive psvr and ps4 backlog, I'm screwed.

Kyizen3412d ago

Stop buying games for a bit catch up on yoir backlog and the get the games you wanted on sale! Unless it is a multiplayer game there is no reason to get it day one.

Wallstreet373412d ago

I do do that which is why I've passed on Gravity Rush 2 and will pass on Nier Automata till they are bargain bin. Nioh however I have to get as I love anything Souls like. Horizon I have CE preorderd and can't wait. I shouldn't be getting a Switch bcus I hate everything Nintendo is doing but I'm a sucker for new hardware :(.

nix3412d ago

i buy games early as my way of saying thanks to the devs. of course, i don't buy every game. i know what i want and how the game is going to be. i don't support over hyped games that are average because i'm smart enough to realise what's garbage and what's gem.

DeadlyOreo3412d ago

This ^

If I like the look of a game, and the development team have clearly put in a lot of work I will support them by purchasing the game full price because they earn it. If everyone bought from the bargain bin there wouldn't be computer games.

opinionated3412d ago

I liked the article. I have played the demos and i pretty much agree. I wouldn't compare it to soulsborne games though. It feels like the ninja gaiden team made a slower paced samurai game instead. Instead of flips and momentum it's legit sword stances and counters. The rpg elements and loot system put it over the top. It's going to be great.

"Feedback was positive, particularly from our European and American users. They enjoyed the game and an overwhelming majority gave Nioh an extremely high rating in the survey which was conducted."
Good! Good! Buy up fellas.

Dixiedevil3412d ago

Demon Souls platinum: check.
Dark Souls platinum: check
Dark Souls 2 platinum: check
Bloodbourne platinum: check
Dark Souls 3 platinum: check
Nioh platinum: ...inevitable
Can't wait to get it.

nix3412d ago

wow. i barely scrapped through Demon Souls. i killed the King with the help of thousands of arrows without even facing him close. Everything is fair in love and war, i guess. Couldn't finish DS 1/2. Skipped 3. Finished Bloodborne.

i'll probably love Nioh though.

Josuey3412d ago

i have all of those except dark souls 2 (hated it) and demons souls which i need to finish up

DeadlyOreo3412d ago

Could not get that Dark Souls 3 platinum due to the sheer pain of farming those item drops from the deacons. It just got to tedious for me.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio24d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing24d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9224d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit24d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing24d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9224d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
