Abuse them like crazy. They will carry you to end game.

I have been refraining from commenting just to contain my hype but I can't do that anymore. The map is HUGE. Damn why are the streams and vids from Japan in such low quality?! I want to see everything in more detail. Anyways hugely looking forward to this.

This may kill some if not of your mentioned fears:

Destiny 2 livestream is up and geez I'm sold. The additions look fantastic. Even the girlfriend is so so interested, she wants a PS4 of her own so she can play with me. Do yourselves a favour and watch the whole thing

Making a new topic because I feel that this game will get talked about ALOT. SEND FEEDBACK TO DEVS For those who don't know, this is the evolution of a redesigned and refocused Ninja Gaiden which looks to merge what the Demons/Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden games do best. Demo is available on PSN now. I will cut to the chase as I am at work but having only 15 minutes with it, I can tell the game plays fantastically. Has a very appealing setting, the control scheme is interesting and responsive and my word is it a challenge. The walkthrough from TGS 2015 you can catch on youtube makes the game look incredibly easy. IT IS NOT! I died 5-6 times in the starting area, albeit because I summoned a wraith who will chop you down ruthlessly in one combo if you make a single mistake. Don't forget to check the option's so you can change the resolution to get a higher framerate. Can't wait to play more. Wikipedia:

I think it's her eyes. They are huge and angled. It's early days so that could change.

As it hasn't been shared here, here is a short intro to upcoming game 'Hob'. Could be a special gem

Guys, I really want to raid again. I have my might in the 380s. Is anyone game today or sometime this week? Anything will do lol

I want to return to this as I have finally finished my recent purchases but where would the best place for a light level 340? Also anyone else in the same boat?

This game is keeping me from platinuming Nioh. It's a bit special but I sometimes feel that I wish the camera and combat stayed in third person ala DMC rather than constantly transitioning. Ah well. Achieved Ending A. Emotional. Loving that I researched the previous game, played the drakengard games, and understand what's going on. It matters. But I have a major gripe. WHY IS THERE NO SOUNDTRACK, digital or otherwise. For some reason, games with the best soundtracks like Transistor and this don't seem to have them for digital pre-order download, yet I get one with ME Andromeda which I truly do not care for. Ah well. Hopefully its on Spotify.

Hope I didn't miss all the chatter about this game. Got the platinum last week at 98% completion and 75+ hours (took my time)! Loved every minute of it. Such a well packaged game. No fluff, just everything you need. And it's such a joy to PLAY that it's a joy to WATCH. The girlfriend happily sat next to me, watching my decisions (sometimes catastrophically bad) and interactions in and around the world from start to finish. She enjoyed it so much, she wants to have a bash. Only other game that has captivated her this much is bloodborne and we all know how good that game is! Having not played it for awhile, I have realised how much I miss it but literally punch the air for joy when I heard that they were working on DLC. As Jim Sterling said, it is almost like they made a fully fleshed out and packaged game, and let it sell on those merits alone. Amazing that we can make jokes about that concept. I always liked the Killzone games but damn this eclipses anything GG has done before and I never expected this turnout.

I can't stop playing this game. I am just lucky the girlfriend loves to watch the story and events unfold.

I would like that but currently got my hands full with Nioh, horizon and the soon to arrive Nier. Ugh and then there will be andromeda...too...much

Stun lock doesn't even need to happen, one combo got me thru too many battles and that's why I was getting a bit bored of them: Low stance - [] - /\ - /\ -> R1 + () > repeat till drained of ki then /\ for down stab and then R1 + (). Most trash died after first part of string. Yoki would be dead after full string. Dangerous to use on larger stuff but still effective. Could switch down stab for high stance - L1 + /\ technique (not windstorm though I have read that's it's very effective) for larger foes but must have an escape strategy.

Exactly how I play. I only block when I have slowed things down and the dodge window becomes really unpredictable. That said it's still either before or after a dodge. Still not done. Being doing all the side missions as I went along. Love this game. Found dual swords and kusiragama a bit stale so re-specced and changed to katana and spear. So many more tools to use I found and so fun. Playing a bit of hammer time too and that makes me play like souls/bloodborne even more. Love how it just chews human opponents ki/stamina.

I'm at the iga escape. Really enjoying all the traps and the level layout! Anyone know when unlock the third set of dojo tests? Really want to use the points I have on the last set of skills

Just noticed yesterday, pefect ki pulse during Living Weapon (yes it's possible!) extends living weapon time by restoring some of gauge. I don't know but if you are really good, you can potentially have it for whole boss fights? Managed to have it for a large duration of a sub mission mini boss battle where I was up against multiple foes. Kill them all and had time to spare.

Soul matching is really expensive but forging is the reverse and you can even forge higher level versions of the dlc armour. I think unless you have a stat you really really want you to keep they want you to dismantle your old lower level gear and move on. I created some light armour evasive gear and it much better suits my playstyle that the medium armour dlc gear I was wearing.

Tachibana...my god. This guy makes me feel like I have no skills.

Really now...co op wasn't even something I was considering but for twighlight it might be more fun to do it that way... As for nue. I was still dying to him after learning his moves because of that lightning attack 1/8th of health to go and boom, lightning strikes when he recovers from ki drain grrr. Typical the run where I have the worst start is where I take him down. Was so in the zone I didn't even realise he was dead! And I forgot to mention a few other useful bits of advice. Gestures are very important - Nue (wall yokai) hides routes and treasures. Pay attention to the death piles around him as they give clues by colour of which gesture he responds to. His eyes glow he colour of gesture that he wants. Mimics are similar in that they use a certain gesture and if you MIMIC their behaviour, they disappear and drop loot. Kappa yokai are like crystal lizards and wandering masses. They will lead you into trouble so try to clear are before you engage. Also let them drain their stamina running. You are faster than them so you can catch them up and pounce when they are vulnerable.

I was able to access one but decided against it as my body was NOT ready

I'm having fun reading people's experiences let alone playing it! Useful tips from myself: Ki pulse weapon upgrades once acquired on one, unlock for all weapons. Most of your damage upgrades will come from weapon changes/upgrades. Investing about 10ish points in spirit will unlock further stat bonuses from guardian spirits. Using items like you do weapons will add to prestige points which are permanent stat upgrades - so be versatile and use everything - hard for hoarders like myself to overcome! Put points in ninjutsu asap. Near bottom of tree is dark souls style backstab attack. Get that at the very least. Also potentially use points to increase ammo and consumable reserves that can be carried Points in onymo can be used on passives to increase damage to yokai. Sound is important. Co op is easier to do in this game than in dark souls but helper must have completed mission first.

Don't think spoilers are that necessary but I'll use them where appropriate and I'm typing this from phone so excuse the poor formatting. First thing, learn his moves. I think it's applicable to all creatures in this game more so than any other I have played. If you know what they can do, moveswise, you know what to dodge, block or tank. And it allows you to game their ki. Perfect example is heavily armoured samurais with Katanas. They tend to like high stance and if they go into that, they begin with a downward vertical slice which can be exploited with your low stance dodges to devastating effect as the those attacks take large amounts of ki and the dodges should put you behind your opponent giving you more damage on your attack. Sorry for the long winded explanation but because I knew all this bosses attacks from all the demos, I was able to do him best him first time. Low stance was key for me too to allow for faster and wider dodges. Make sure you get the ki pulse while dodging upgrade. Essential for the game let alone the boss. Some extra stuff Hope this helps. If you need anymore advice let me know.
