Unlike the one from 365Games they said to be dispatched days before release whereas 365Games will dispatch it ON the day of release now can't have that just for under a quid i'd rather have it day and date or day before.

Potential GOTY imo i played the Alpha and Beta of this more than i did most other retail games! Absolutely brilliant game
Looks good but I am going to wait for a few videos . Love all dark souls games and this looks similar but playing the first demo felt like they kinda missed the dark souls point and just made it overly difficult instead of achievable and rewarding like ds. Love the idea of being able to see the enemy's stamina meter tho , gives a lot more tactics

I actually thought it was made too easy in the second demo, though that might just be my experience of the first demo. Doing a level 1 run in the demo was so much fun and can't wait to do a wooden sword playthrough for the whole game.

Eh even though I really want this to be a good game as I'm full into Japanese games and hope there are more Japanese games coming in, I definitely advise on buying any new IPs unless significantly cheaper or by a 100% trustworthy developer (pretty much only Rockstar and Naughty Dog).
Just wait for the game to come out people, don't give out your money without actually getting the product. It will just set you up for disappointment (like what happened with Mighty n9 and No mans lie) Not to mention that nowadays games drop prices insanely fast. In December, The Last Guardian dropped from £45 to £25 in less than 3 weeks
A question for the OP tho. How to play alpha and beta versions of games? I wanna try Persona5, Horizon and Red Dead 2

Doubt the game will drop in price anywhere near as fast as TLG. However, it's a niche title that probably won't set the world alight in terms of sales.
The alpha & beta tests for this game took part last year and where open to everyone for a few weeks.

I'd like to add CD Projekt Red to that list.

Koei Techmo/Team Ninja released Alpha and Beta of this game before time limited it's no longer available now.
The Beta especially that was massive didn't expect them to let us play that much it shows the devs have confidence in their product. This game is really polished and quality as expected by the devs of Ninja Gaiden.
Sorry but No man's sky and Mighty no 9 is hardly any related to Nioh at all, those two indie games (mighty no 9 kick-started funded) against this AAA game.
And also The Last Guardian is like those really short games with not much audience but mainly made for the fans again this does not relate to Nioh at all. Nioh is aimed at more at the hardcore gamers, the Souls gamers and fast action gamers and also a MUCH bigger game with much more content. This game felt like Ninja Gaiden + Souls + Onimusha for me I played about more than a 100 games on PS4 since I bought it and Nioh's beta alone was damn impressive for me I will support this masterpiece

That's my point, I don't think it can be more niche than TLG. I will buy this game when it goes below £25 if it gets positive reviews. Wanted to get Yakuza but it looks pretty low effort and outdated mechanics

I was talking about Nioh being a niche title as well, but one that should appeal to the Souls/Ninja Gaiden audience.
Yakuza 0 is essentially a two year old game, so it doesn't look great visually, but is 60fps. It's supposedly the best in the series and a great starting point for newcomers. Definitely worth the purchase.

I read that Sony are publishing, really wish they would market it more heavily, can't say I've noticed much but it may just be me. Hopefully it may be a sleeper hit, the alpha and beta were great. Story also looks interesting.

YES! The Witcher 3 is THE best game on the PS4 and one of the best games of all time. And they are a Polish studio with less than half the resources that Rockstar has... who knows wtf they will be able to do with the huge fund injection of millions of dollars that they got from the Polish government

The Witcher 3 easily cemented their place as one of the best. I'd personally put them above Rockstar in that list. It's a shame that list is so small, I miss buying games on release.
