Zero Punctuation: Nioh

[Arnoxthe1]

FFS, I don't CARE about Dark Souls. How does it compare to NINJA GAIDEN? Why is it reviewers keep doing this in their review of this game? Yes, there's a lot of similarities between Nioh and Dark Souls, but I play a Team Ninja game for Ninja Gaiden or at least a game with Ninja Gaidenish combat. If I fucking wanted Dark Souls, I'd play that. Not something else.

1.Because the game promotes itself as Dark Souls in Japan

2. Dark Souls is pretty much the big thing in these types of circles and the Ninja Gaiden series hasn't made a decent in game in years so the name hasn't been in anyone radar in some time

I was drinking something, so when the imp barfing up weapons appeared I made roughly the same sound as he did.

Fine, it's better than Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. There, happy?

True, it hasn't made a decent game in a long while. You'll get no argument from me on that front. Nevertheless, it doesn't discount the masterpieces that were Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II.

Kind of.

That Pornhub analogy was spot on. I could say it hit the spot. A very tightly constructed comparison.

Insert Fry meme here:

Don't know if serious, or subtle double entendre..

Cum on! Did you really have to assk? The only reason I didn't write more because I couldn't erect more sex puns at the moment.

I'm going for a Quagmire-style "giggedy".

Awwwright!

Dear Diary...jackpot.

Not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I kind of like the idea of Samurai Dark Souls. On the other hand, I'm still working my way through the actual souls games(the fume knight can suck it) so I've got a ways to go before I even need to worry about Nioh.

Hell, by the time I'm ready to play it, the DLC will probably have dropped, packaged into a GOTY edition and the blacklash wave will have passed.

Hi

I just tried to purchase your book in a DRM-free epub version. Could not find any. Cant buy. Too bad

Wait, an Irish samurai? Now that's more like it! Finally the PS4 has at least one more decent exclusive. Which brings its total up to three.

It has more then three IMO, what are the other two you think are "decent"(i'm guessing Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 are the other two).

No I'll be damned if I ever call Uncharted anything but pretty graphics, mediocre gameplay. The two I'm talking about are Bloodborne and The Last Guardian.

I think Last Guardian is very mediocre because of how godawful the A.I. for Trico is. I love Uncharted's gameplay.

For those that want to know a but more about that period and what happened in it, Extra Credits has a very good side project, Extra History.
And that period was one of the ones that they dived into: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhyKYa0YJ_5A649vEQk37316BH8FsaU24

Not interested at all in Nioh. I'm burned out after Dark Souls III which sucked btw worst PvP of all Dark Souls.

Isn't "Souls-like" just the focused culmination of everything gameplay that "Action Adventure" was trying to build up to?
