Curious if this will make its way to competing platforms as well or if Sony has this locked down as a console exclusive

Hate to be that guy but you say "competing platforms" with an 's' which implies more than one but Switch is only a single platform. The correct usage is "competing platform" or "the competing platform".

Unless you meant Mac/Linux and in that case, my bad.

Whoa! Unexpected and exciting. I’ll definitely pick this up over Assassin’s Creed.

 

[El Muerto]

Found the game more fun that Ghost of Tsushima and the combat was way more engaging. Ghost of Tsushima is just a pretentious kino wannabe Kurosawa movie. Rise of the Ronin had better characters and more in depth gameplay.

 

[BossLackey]

Super fun game.

 

[Katatonic]

Was the next in line for my Pro after completing Astro Bot, but I’ll hold off to see what the PC release is like.

Pro update is underwhelming imo. Curious to hear how it performs on a high end PC.

 

[Schmendrick]

Mmhm cool and all....
Now where is Ni'Oh 3?

 

[JusticeForAll]

A new pro update should incorportate some of these things.

“Worst PlayStation gen ever”, and you’re crying and claiming a game not made by Sony.

Please return to HQ for a firmware update, you are busted.

He wasn't claiming it. You made a throwaway comment at him saying since it's not exclusive anymore, he's going to shit on it and then you shift to the fact it is not made by Sony. This is all but sad, no matter who is doing it, but you know what you were doing. You were trolling him.

But he's also got a point. Like it or not, many people were quiet on this game until now, because it is no longer exclusive. None of this should matter though lol. Ya'll behave like children.

These are all video games, designed by people, with a specific set of features and design in mind. The console or hardware it is published on simply supports the "playing" of it.

People who couldn't play the game were quiet on it. What a shocker.

That's not the point I'm making and let's not pretend people here don't talk about games they are not able to play. That happens ALL the time.... come on now.

 

[Calico345]

I don't game on PC but I am glad it's being released for PC!

 

[Kacho]

Sure, generally speaking people talk about games they can’t play. But the way you’re talking about it sounds extremely defensive. The “bu-bu now you like it because it isn’t exclusive” talking point is pure console warrior nonsense.

Hey guys, this is a great game. In my opinion, this is Team Ninja’s best game since Ninja Gaiden Black.
The parry system is up there with Sekiro, I might even argue it’s better in some ways.
Please get the game.

I love good combat but this is one of the ugliest 9th gen game I think? What the hell happened. Team Ninja's Ninja Gaiden II black on UE5 looks way better.

Ray tracing on PC I don't think can save the visuals.

But if the mechanics are good, I trust you, I might give it a try. They should have a demo.

Of course I was party trolling him. He is a joke of a console warrior character who badly wants the same kind of clout/respect other people like adam or ass get here but it isn’t happening for him

Also, people were quiet on the game because it’s kind of just a slightly above average Ass Creed clone with Nioh/Sekiro elements. And I say that as someone who enjoyed it and got the plat.

Yes and that was exactly my point. None of this matters because it's pointless and childish, which is exactly what "console warring" is. Of course, I also added to that conversation, that he's got a point, if we are entertaining that point to begin with.

Gotcha, and fair enough on your point about the game.

Not sure I'm a big fan of the current team ninja.
They floundered around with NG3 and some other mediocre projects until landing on Ni-Oh. Very fun game, but the loot system, story, and basically everything outside of the combat (including level design) was a travesty.
Ni Oh 2 wasn't much better, so much garbage loot to sift through, so many characters, it all felt random.
Wo-Long was straight up trash as far as I'm concerned. Like why are you trying to ape everything From is making, just make something original for fs sakes.
Now even with Ninja Gaiden 4, looks like it's mostly being driven by Platinum, because I don't think TN can be trusted enough with that franchise anymore. We're basically going to get Revengeance 2 which is not Ninja Gaiden.
I haven't looked into Ronin myself, if it's anything like Ni-Oh1/2 or Wo-Long, I've had enough of that repetitiveness. The magic that was Team Ninja is looong gone, they probably just have a stash of cool animations they recycle across all their games which were made by people who knew what they were doing once upon a time.

I know you're probably just being cheeky but I think it's fairly obvious that the "competing platforms" would be Xbox and/or Switch 2.

Wo Long has DLC and new game plus content that puts From to shame on top of a more versatile and engaging combat system. You also won't find anything like 1000-Mile Journey in a FromSoftware game. The only issues are that the pacing of the main game is terrible, generic enemy types are reused too much across maps, and the average enemy has very little situational awareness. However, in the midst of pure combat challenges those issues fade away as the core gameplay design is so strong.

P.S. Rise of the Ronin seems kind of generic with its undiluted feudal Japan focus relative to Team Ninja's other games. Comparisons to Sekiro do not inspire any confidence either.

 

[HRK69]

This is going to run like absolute shit

I can't get excited for this after the absolute technical travesty called Wo Long.

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

Great news. Almost pulled the trigger on PS5 version over the weekend.

 

[fart town usa]

Glad this game is going to PC, it deserves an audience outside of the PS5.

PC bros are in for a treat (hopefully it runs well)
