Quality what do you expect

Excited to jump into it, the new combat system looks so good.

I knew that this game would get stellar reviews.

My X is ready!

I Fully trust Fromsoftware, not surprise here.

I'll probably be picking this up, I loved the Tenchu games.

From software has never dissapointed me, this is most likely going to be my GOTY.

👍 time to pick up the copy on Friday.

I pre ordered this game on PSN a few weeks back without the need of any reviews. From Software is a developer I trust.

Tomorrow is the day. And after this one, Ghost of Tsushima and then Nioh 2. I love feudal Japanese based games.

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY

It's great to see all the reviews coming in on a positive note (no surprise). Hoping I can obtain the Collector's Edition tomorrow

First game since God of War that I genuinely hyped to play!

Welp looks like another fromsoftware buy. My respect for these devs grows with every release

Wow. Didn't expect such a high score. Looks I will have to play it.

Miyazaki will go down as one of the greatest Japanese Game Developer of all time.

From Software simply knows how to deliver. Amazing.

This one was flying under the radar for me. Was expecting it to be good; not great.

Nice score! Once I finish a few games I've already bought I'll be buying this.

Can't wait for this game.

Dunno bloodborne without lots and lots of weapons wasn't as good as souks games. Much of the lore and story was in the items.

I believe this is the same you don't really look forward to loot

can't wait to play this.

Miyazaki and crew make solid games. They are one of the few groups that are still making complete games in an age of unfinished games built around turning players into payers (Mr. sterling). I really enjoy playing Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3, so much style and solid game-play. Now we have a jump button and a Shinobi theme, I'm all in.

Ayy its the same as DMC5 score!

We are getting 2 awesome action games in a month!

I always enjoyed Fromsoftware's games so I already knew this was going to be a fantastic game from the get-go. It's one of the few developers I have complete faith in where I can pre-order without being worried.

From software games always get great scores. My PC is ready for 60fps

I am so freaking happy for FromSoftware. I wanted this game to be so good. Man I CANT WAIT!!! BOW DOWN TO FROMSOFTWARE!!!!!

I've completed Demon Souls, all the Dark Souls games, Ninja Gaiden, Nioh, and Bloodborne. Looking forward to tackling this now.

What's missing from this game to score a 10 on various web site?
The word " Exclusive to "
If the game was exclusive to Nintendo ( "Bayonetta 2") or Sony (BloodBorne) we would already have our game of the year with multiples perfect 10, but hey! since it's multiplatform and not made from a Legendary producer like Kojima 9.5 is the best it can score.

i sincerely found it less enjoyable than nioh or bloodborne, from what i see from the gameplay videos all over youtube :/

Contenders for 2019 GOTY by now is all about JAPAN:

1- Resident Evil 2 (Capcom, Japan)
2- Sekiro (From Software, Japan)
3- Devil May Cry 5 (Capcom, Japan)
4- Kingdom Hearts 3 (Square-Enix, Japan)
5- The Division 2 (Ubisoft, France)

Meanwhile EA fails with Anthem, with it's $20 skins and Activision fires 800 workers and loses Bungie. And dont forget last year with Bethesda's Fallout 76 ripoff.

Way to go US! Trying to destroy gaming again as you did in the 80s?

From Software are one of the very best devs on the planet, can't wait

This sounds good. But I am still hoping for another Dark Souls game some day.

Another winner from From Software

Expected nothing less

For some reason I feel this will shadow sucker punches efforts no matter how good it is.

Ill check it out on PC

Single player games teaching GaaS games how things are done.

I've got a 3 month old daughter now so it will be a while before I attempt this.

The Soulsborne games are such roller coaster rides for me. I'm filled with anxiety of the unknown (especially Bloodborne) and the challenges that await but as you go through and learn and find ways to accomplish the seemingly impossible you get an almost euphoric feeling. I love the risk vs reward! Looking foward to Seriro!

This game is good! So far around 6hrs in. Can’t wait to finish up work early to venture further.

The system still hasn’t opened up fully, but I can already say it’s closer to Zelda in being an RPG compared to Dark Souls. However, the gameplay has opened up physically and dimensionally which replaces the stats and selection of weapons etc. Also, a lot of exploration, more open than DS3 (which was kind of a straight forward stint. Sekiro has also quite the Tenchu vibe with some added Bloodborne and Dark Souls spice in the mix. A very lean experience.

Played around 400-600hrs each Soulsborne game and this seems like another classic.

Getting some tasty scores. Might pick it up over the weekend

Pre-ordered digital copy for X1X. Can't wait to play..

Don’t play the souls games or bloodborne but nioh was my GOTY and I really liked ninja gaiden 2 on 360. I like the samurai and ninjas japan more than the knights of fantasy or the gothic European feel. I guess if I’m going to get my ass kicked then I want to enjoy the view lol. That said I can’t wait for this game. Super hyped.

Once upon a time Shuhei Yoshida called Demons Souls crap. 10 years later From Software is saving Activision. Rags to riches 101.

On consoles the game is a technical piece of crap and i frankly cant understand the reason reviwers dont talk more about this and why From Software have not yet fix the Framerate pacing issues with the game engine and added a performance mode for the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X...releasing a game in this age that runs with all this technical issues is lame!

I have it in my hands but I have to wait to finish work and escape family.

I can't wait. I'm getting Tenchu chills again after all this time.

I absolutely hate this game, getting Metal Gear Revengeance blocking flashbacks, Which In that game I didn't mind, for me In this game, annoying chore over & over.
I'm able to play the game, I grasp the counter system and I do not mind-numbingly press R1 button to attack, It's just not fun, Also the dragons rot mechanic which I assumed progressed If I were to resurrect In combat, turns out not so much x)

Perhaps I should've slept before playing at midnight, You know those moments In Bloodborne you counter the enemy with this sweet gunshot, and you can do this fantastic critical hit that just oozed damage, why Is that a thing In this game? low tier mobs you've basically killed, and for bosses It's just L1/Block incoming attack *2/3 & counter hopefully break his stance and critical.

I think players who die say 10/30 times on bosses In dark souls this games death mechanic Is problematic, and before people say Its Interesting, I think yeah If you resurrect It is, but I even deliberately died 20 times and my luck went from 13% to 12%
*Prior to this experiment I was at the Estate place (avoiding spoilers) & this polearm spear wielding bold asshole destroyed me, upon waking up from my death this npc was coughing (bad sign) and I received these nice debuffs which triggered me because like c'mon 3/5 deaths trigger this thing o_O

Don't even get me started on the red kanji attack, the same principle of blocking but you can (If early talented) press circle step on the sword and attack their posture, or leg sweep press X twice (one to jump & one to kick'em In the face) and you've got posture damage.

Rereading what I've put above, hate Is rather strong, I love the atmosphere In these games & I'm not saying It's Inherently bad, Ninja/Shinobi (Stealth Kills + Ninja Tools) but the combat is a chore, Also on console (PS4 Pro) I'm seeing some framerate drops.

Should I have watched some previews before purchasing the game, I did so I'm the asshole for purchasing the product when I knew beforehand the games got a big emphasis on the countering mechanic. =)

I'll try again after some sleep >.>

I want to be hype for it but I’m not feeling this game

You gotta be joking.. You don't give a game 9.5 when it has SERIOUS frame pacing issues and is underperforming on all consoles. Look at the video from DF. Bloody hell.

The game has frame pacing issues on all consoles.

PC is prob the best way to play.

The game needs a 1080p 60fps mode for PS4pro and XBOXONEx.
