Nioh

They dropped a final beta for this weekend only, so I've been messing around with it today. Very cool game. I don't think it's for everybody, but it's shaping up to be an enjoyable experience.

It took me a while to understand all of the mechanics, but it's starting to click now. I think this is going to be difficult yet rewarding in the same way Bloodborne was for me. In addition to that, I just really dig the whole ninja aspect of the game. I'm looking forward to playing the full version.

Leading up to this, I was feeling good about myself. I was preparing to fight this goon in the cave and then I went out like a chump. I was not happy lmao.

Re: Nioh

It's an action-RPG, much like Bloodborne, except you're controlling a Western Samurai. If you tried to watch through the OS app, I can't get videos to work in there at all either. Otherwise, I'm not sure why my pitiful video didn't work for you two. Others have seen it fine.

Re: Nioh

On Saturday night, I played the demo for about 5 minutes, died a bunch of times, and quit playing. I figured I'd never play it again. On Sunday, I booted it back up in the morning, learned how to play, and could not quit playing throughout the day. I really loved it! It is definitely a Souls-type game with some key differences. The combat is more complex than Souls as Nioh has three different stances with moves specific for each stance. And I love the plentiful loot in this game as compared to Souls. It is very difficult if you are not patient. But certainly doable if you are careful. If you go rushing in, you will die. Managing stamina, just like Souls, is key. This went from nowhere near my radar to a likely purchase on launch.

I wasnt sure about this game but I played the beta to death and then preordered the game immediately.

Although I'm not very good at it and I died a lot I always felt like I was learning and getting better and most all of my deaths are my own fault.

As I played and died but learned more and finally started bearing some enemies I never thought I could kill I really started to enjoy myself..

Re: Nioh

How am I just learning about this game?

Looks really Good. I am about to finish RE7 (Great game, btw) and was going to trade it in for Hitman...Now I might have to trade it for this game. I am a souls fan since Demon Souls and love Bloodbourne as well.

Re: Nioh

Getting good reviews. I went ahead and preordered yesterday, although I never played the demo.

Re: Nioh

I am leaning towards going for this and playing Bloodborne. I have Dark Souls 2 and haven't started it yet so not sure if I want this now or to play DS2 first.

Re: Nioh

Game downloaded for me last night. Now it's just waiting for the countdown.
