Current Events > Nioh is $20 (15.99 GCU) at Best Buy right now.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't know if you have to be an Elite member, but that's a good price. I was going to get it at Walmart for $19, but now I don't have to.

i didnt like that game but but $15 - $20 is a decent price for it

Nioh is an excellent game. TOTALLY worth the $20.00

Yeah. I always buy Soulsborne games at less than $20 because I'm trash at them and never get too far.

Well, I did beat Demon's Souls.

nioh feels like a bunch of devs got together in a boardroom, wrote down a list of souls games features, and then dumped them into a ninja gaiden title without wondering/caring if they would work or not

Nioh's one of the best games of the year so yeah, it's definitely worth $20 ($16 w/GCU).

Nice. Have you ever played Demon's Souls?

I'm wondering if I can finally sit down and beat another one of these games. To be fair to myself, I didn't spend a lot of time in Dark Souls II, I took a break in Dark Souls 1 and never went back, and I have like 2 hours in Dark Souls III.

no, demon's souls is the only souls game ive never played. im hoping for a ps4 remaster or something.

nioh has none of the atmosphere, level design, enemy design, fun bosses, etc that the souls games have. it's just dark souls mechanics thrown into a really hard action game for no reason tbh

Well I'll see how I like it. I've heard it's great from some people, and I've heard it's not so great from some others.

I love Nioh, the only souls game I liked more then Nioh was Bloodborne.

Is there a complete edition with DLC though?

If I buy this and then the DLC would it just end up being about the same $ for that?
---

There's a complete edition on PSN for $50. I don't know how much it would cost to get the full experience, but I'm fine with the base game only. Plus, I might not even make it to the end anyway.

In America the only Complete Edition is digital and it costs $50 normally. This sale price (assuming you have GCU) is $16 and the Season Pass costs $25, bringing the total to $41. So at the moment this would be the cheaper way to go.

You could always wait on a sale for the Complete Edition, but they just released it a few weeks ago so I don't know how long that'll be. On the other hand, you could buy the physical version of Nioh now and wait for a sale on the Season Pass (vanilla game is fairly long). I know it's gone on sale a few times in the past and with the holidays coming up there could always be another sale.

I despised Nioh.

Really now?

Was it gameplay related, story, atmosphere?

Just curious.

Everything, tbh. Im not a fan of Team Ninja aesthetics, the story is beyond terrible, and I just didnt care for the ridiculous amount of loot (its too much, its like Diablo 3 basically), or the combat or sponge like bosses (although many did enjoy the combat)
