Incline Team Ninja's Rise of the Ronin

[jaekl]

I don't hate it, I barely remember it. Most of my memories are about how retarded the cutscenes and dialogue were and how it never ended. How dare you quote steam reviews to me as a barometer of quality when Baldur's Gate 3 has 90%+. How dare you make me think about Days Gone again when I had forgotten about it! It doesn't deserve to take up space in my memory.

How do it compare with the usual suspects (Dark Souls, Sekiro, Elden Ring, Nioh)?

Not good at all, but this isn't that type of game. Open world sidequesting games are the fast food of video games.

I mean the combat is surely a huge focus, no? Not that that makes it Dark Souls/Sekiro/Elden Ring/Nioh-y.

I can't even imagine thinking a piece of shit like Days Gone is great, but that's the type of game I'm talking about. Days gone style.

of all shit in his list you decided to pick days gone? seriously?

Am I not explaining correctly? It's an ubisoft-type game except with more complicated combat. You mindlessly go through lists and kill/collect shit to clear the map out. You pick the loot with the biggest number and equip it. You zone out and daydream while a bunch of historical guys talk too much. These types of games are time wasters and you generally forget about them after about a week. If you like that type of game, such as Days Gone or Ass Creed, this is an above average game for you probably because the combat carries it.

Yeah I knew what you meant. For me, though, what I will remember is the combat and combat encounters/duels. That seems very much worthwhile and will have staying power the way Nioh does.

For those who have played this, is the combat actually good? Worth getting a SlopStation 5 for?

I don't have a PS5 but I figure why not wait for the inevitable DLC and everything to be in a "Complete" edition for PC?

EDIT: Could always play Like a Dragon: Ishin! in the meantime for that 1800s ronin feel, and you actually would play the same character.

if their previous games are any indicator - wait for complete version.
