I'm having a lot of fun going back and forth between the sickle-on-a-chain thing and the battle axe. the controls are great

Low stance dual katana+ninjutsu poison weapon buff is v good against onis.

I want to use two very different weapons at a time but the kusarigama and dual katanas are just insane

It was intended for the PS2 at the very earliest stages of pre-development in 2004, but they switched it to the PS3 in 2005.

One Nation, Under God.
it's something Koei was working on before the merger but I don't think it was ever a PS2 game

it's based on an unused Akira Kurosawa script that the president of Koei had a hard-on for so he rebooted the game a bunch of times with different studios within Koei-Tecmo until someone made something good

As difficult as it may be, think less like Bloodborne and more like Onimusha.

I think I'll buy this game closer to the summer. Is their much info on the DLC missions for the season pass or is that still up in the air?

Also how is the online stuff? I don't remember if that was in the demos or not.

Try low stance and anti-paralysis ninjutsu pills if you haven't already, that was the fight where I realized how good low stance can be.

This was ages ago, but I really struggled with her until I learned that, unlike in bloodborne/dark souls, blocking owns in this. Also you can ninja star her out of the air, it rules.

I like this game.

Only the strong mode or whatever is good, I expected it to just level up the enemies but there are added ones and the regular enemies have new moves.
