Ordered mine from Boomerang a few days ago, this is a great deal considering it's £40.00+ at most retailers. I played all of the testing phases and I have to say this is the best game I have played in a very long time, it's 87 on Metacritic right now and I suspect it will only go up as the rest of the reviews come in tomorrow. It's extremely long too, reviewers had to extend their review date due to it being a very lengthy game, it's a real return to form by Team Ninja. Nioh is a blend of Onimusha, Ninja Gaiden, Dark Souls/Bloodborne with Diablo III style loot system, it is a unique game and offers a real challenge.

I'll have another look, I played for about 2 hours yesterday but couldn't get past the 4th person you encounter. Think I'm not cut out for it! Enjoy if you are a Souls fan apparently great.

Got my copy today, looking forward to playing it

I just got this today and wow I find it infuriatingly difficult and without save points, the whole level over if you die!? :confused:

Horizon Zero Dawn, Resident Evil 7, Nier Automata, Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Odyssey, Yooka Laylee, Cuphead...

Probably lots more that I'm not thinking of at the moment but those come to mind.

​i meant harder bud haha bloodbornes **** easy

Such Negative Nancies... you'll be complaining about Horizon Zero Dawn next. Yakuza 0 plays like a PS3 game because it's a remaster of one. It certainly doesn't look like one.

Just out of interest what are you looking forward to playing (in 2017)?

Same here. They're exceptionally niche and come across as Dreamcast tribute games rather than anything I'd aspire to play in 2017.

I've been really pleasantly surprised by the rave reviews for this. Thought the demo was super bland visually (it has a low rent Dynasty Warriors vibe) so I guess the gameplay must be incredible to make up for that, or the environments maybe become more varied as the game goes on.

Despite being a big Soulsbourne fan, I'll wait until it's closer to £20, but heat added for the price.

Its been a great 2017 so far for the PS4.
Nioh, Gravity Rush 2 and Yakuza 0 all before the end of February.
I think that's more exclusives than the 'other' console is getting all year.

Nier Automata, Danganronpa 1•2 Reload, Persona 5, The Silver Case, Dragon Quest Heroes II, Birthdays: The Beginning are all on my to buy list for the first 6 months of this year. Great time to be a PS4 gamer. Them as well as the multi-format titles. Crazy

played the demo. died ALOT. saying that ninja gaiden had me tearing my hair out. definitely a game you need alot of patience and time to learn and get into. heat tho.

This game looks absolutely harder than Bloodborne (you can tell even from the alpha and beta). You juggle a lot and get punished severely if you mess up a single move. Not in a rush to buy this but will be tempted around the £25 mark even if it means I'm stuck on the first level for a few months.

Honestly I'd say this game is harder than Bloodborne, just to set people's expectations accordingly. While I think Bloodborne is a brilliant game, the combat is kind of shallow because it isn't the focus of the game, which is timing and positioning.

For Nioh you have a very in-depth fast paced combat system with combos and stance shifting, and you also have to manage your Ki gauge at the same time as dodging and fighting back with the enemy. Its Team Ninja going back to their roots of the brilliant Ninja Gaiden series.

Interesting video, thanks.

strange, when I ordered earlier it said despatch would be tomorrow for delivery of release date. perhaps they have sold out of their day one stock. Not used them before myself either so we will see I suppose!

Despatch in 5 -10 days... It'll be this price (or cheaper) elsewhere by then and let's face it... Any retailer is better than Boomerang.

Also, Firefox states "Problem loading page" "The page isn't redirecting properly".

What are Boomerang like with delivery? Will they ship it so it arrives on the 8th?

Heat, but I'll wait for it to drop a bit, that way I won't feel like a numpty when I realise it's too hard for me.

Hopefully co-op will make it a lot easier for wimps like me.

Tried demo, seems like a good game, but didn't like controls. Hot for price, shall wait until is £20 for me tho

how do you sign up for purchasing. I don't want to rent and the site is a joke.

thanks in advance

It sure was a tough game, though Ninja Gaiden one was pretty tough too. So nice to have challenging games! :innocent:

​anythings harder than bloodborne haha

I'll be getting this next week
Right now finishing Yaukza

What looks like an amazing game cant wait for my copy to arrive Wednesday from tesco with club card discount voucher.

Great score review it got 9.6 on ign.

I just want to add to this and say that while you can have 60fps on action mode:

- you have the OPTION to play at 30 fps but with improved graphics on cinematic mode. Bloodborne plays at 30fps for reference

- you also have an in between option that offers a compromise between visuals and performance has better graphics and an average of around 38 fps on standard ps4 and average of 45 on ps4pro

This is an implementation that I wish every game had. Sadly developers just become greedier every day and rush out games (and then some people just post them on this site anyways). So go ahead and support this game

Really want to give this game a go, but think it may be too difficult for my taste..haven't even finished bloodborne yet :disappointed:

I played the demo and this seems like a masterpiece

Could definitely be the best game of 2017

must have improved greatly over the first demo...remember it looking really bad with a very unsteady framerate

Really tempted for this game but re-doing shadow of mordor with the GOTY edition as it doesn't transfer over from the normal edition. Heat for the price!

Think it's already got 9.6/10 on IGN. Personally not a fan of these type of games. Dark souls, blood born etc. Shame I am not. But regardless best price for this game. Even base have sold out for day 1.
