Nioh Final Impressions | Gamereactor

Less than a month ahead of its release, Gamereactor has sampled Team Ninja's Nioh, and has talked with the game's director about what we can expect.

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.

[SilverDemon]

Punishment?
It's called challenge

[opinionated]

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.

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.

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.

[Kyizen]

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.

[Wallstreet37]

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 :(.

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.

[DeadlyOreo]

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.

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.

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.

[nix]

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.

[Josuey]

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

[DeadlyOreo]

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.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

I cannot wait for the game but I hope Team Ninja doesn't gives the game the DOA treatment when it comes to DLC.
