Stand at attention for the greatest Westaboo of all time!

Well Holla Forumsanons, have you enjoyed your year of playing a GRORIOUSU GWAILO SAMURAI?
Will we ever get another game like this again?

Its called Ninja Gaiden

Never played it.

I think a new Ninja Gaiden game done Nioh style would be fun as hell.

Amazing synchronicity. How is it the game, compared to to the Souls series (which people generally compare)? Are there still many people online in the game (At least for coop)? Any advise or tips for a beginner?

Pic semi-related.

Combat is better but the gameplay is grindy, spend your big boy points to reskin as a waifu, be aggressive and watch for ki pulse, if you like japanese culture then you're golden

Compared to Bloodborne Nioh is much faster, both you and your opponents. And it's nice being able to actually block a hit which is something that's simply impossible in BB.
Pick Kato as your starter pokemon.
Stay away from heavier weapons until you can wear heavy armor properly.
Always remember that humans and youkai have two separate poise/stamina systems and use that your advantage.
Set bonuses are king in this game.
Collect smithing texts where ever you can but don't worry about crafting until you reach NG+ or at the very least late game. Unless you really need a piece to complete your bonus.
Use the loot system to your best advantage. Sometimes you'll want to sell it, sometimes you'll want to break it down, sometimes you'll want to donate it, sometimes you'll want to save a piece to soul forge inherit. Or you may just want to equip it.
Don't sell your fancy hats.

Like what he said. KI pulse.

Don't compare it to Souls games or expect them to be similar, they are almost nothing alike.

Gwailo is a chink slang though.

Also this

It uses very loosely the same sort of framework as the Souls games but it's ultimately very different as a whole. I don't know which would be more correct to say: That it's NOT a Souls clone, or that it is the apotheosis of the Souls style of games.
You're still going to hate wheels though. Probably more than ever before.
