NiOh

My fault. You need to pre-order any upcoming Xbox One / PS4 games by putting $1 on it. Once you do that, you automatically get 30% off of any PS4/X1 game titles. Whatever game you pre-order at Target you also get a $5 gift card.
Example: Pre-order Horizon PS4 for $1, Buy Nioh for $60 = $60 (30% off) = $42 + $1 (the game you pre-order) = $43 w/ $5 Target Giftcard.
Can it be argued NiOh is the best action game in existence?! Ninja Black and Devil May Cry 3 were the best action games in decades but it looks like NiOh tops even the respected NG and Devil May Cry 3. NiOh has a mixtur of 2 quality franchises in one while evolving both formulus and creating it's own identity. The end result is probably the hardest most complex action game in existence.
Can Team Ninja claim the #1 spot as King of action games? Does NiOh top Devil May Cry 3's insane depth?

I know when I first pre-ordered from Best Buy they didn't have an in-store option until a couple weeks before release. I checked the shelves and didn't see any so unless they were already sold out by 6PM Tuesday I didn't see any. Right now none showing in stock at any store around. Hopefully it means they've sold out at least and not just severely limited stock.
Just the one still, but I've only done the first main mission and side mission.Any more deaths???
Game is great Even better then I thought it would be.
I am grinding the Revenants for loot exp etc.
I suggest everyone do the same..I got a Katana with lightning,one with Fire and a Spear with Earth on it..I am lvl 31.
Coop players can get loot! This is HUGE IMO and From needs to take note.
Oh and I didn't know Sony was the publisher...I wonder if they had a hand in it as it borrows heavily from Bloodborne?

Currently sitting at an 87 on Metacritic if anyone cares. I usually don't but for a new game like this and especially knowing Team Ninja's recent stuff, that is pretty good and hopefully means that along with word of mouth gives this game sales so we can get more.
Edit:
Looking at the yellow reviews, which I think are below 70, and one from Washington Post:
"In fact, as someone who has finished most of the “Souls” games I found “Nioh” frustrating much of the time."
"However, lacking as it does the trappings of an interesting in-game world, I found wrestling with its steep learning curve to be little more than drudgery."
And yes most of the review, which is barely a page, spends most of the time giving you a background of the game, telling you the features you can get anywhere, or comparing it to Souls. There's also two comments, which I'd love to partake in but lol creating an account, that either say the game sounds too difficult compared to Souls because of the fighting mechanics (too many options!!!) or that the game isn't as inspired or filled with lore as Souls. I mean I guess a game loosely based on real history including a script by one of Japan's greatest directors isn't very inspired, or the whole lore around Oni.

Think Koei did publishing in Japan. Maybe only a timed exclusive for now and they could publish for PC later on?
All I can say is wow... this a great game! It's come so far from the alpha in terms of controls and movement. I take my hat off to team Ninja. They have a runner for game of the year here.
