It's dying at all, not just the resurrect. I don't know if dying, resurrecting, and then dying again is 2x the dragonrot though. But you can't just avoid it altogether by not resurrecting.

It made me go look up if any Tenchu games were playable on PS4. Ninja Gaiden was really good, too...

Tenchu, Shinobido, and Way of the Samurai kind of took their last gasps with the PS2, though both had portable games and Tenchu Z had a brief following on 360. It's smart that FROM took the spirit of Tenchu in a different direction because the brand name has almost zero caché any longer, even among fans of the original games.



God I'm excited.

But also, you can parry dogs !.
Also is the unspoilered picture of that moonlight great sword (btw I love the moon, and blood, motifs that are already present so far in Sekiro, it seems like ninja Bloodborne already), but is that fake? I guess I really don’t want to know, it would just be very unlike From or Miyazaki to say it’s not in the game then have it in the game

I actually made a mistake. I'll definitely play this a second time high and never be struck once, not realise I've capped six bosses in a sitting and laugh like a lunatic every time a cinematic or boss comes up.

I’m already stoned and I have spliffs ready to go, I feel like this is a dumb mistake and I need to play it sober, but at the same time I’m just already giddy and laughing at the idea that I will have this game in my hands in less than three hours.

Since there is no multi then it will have to find longevity in its post-game content. It's not a Souls game so personally I don't expect anything novel after the credits. Anything else will be a happy surprise.

Nah dude first run will own playing in enhanced mode. I did this with God of War and I needed a break after a couple of scenes due to pleasure overload.

Yeah this is my worry, if there's no soulslike new game plus or sweet dlc it may die (twice) where as DS3 had me replaying it at least twice after fully finishing it.

The thing that's loving me up off the bat is the lack of stamina. I keep falling back after landing a string of hits to regen stamina. Have to break my Soulsborne habits.

Gotta be stone sober for this to start I think. Would suck real hard to forget some core mechanic and just be loving up for the first few hours

I'm trying to play with the words "single killing cuts" in my head rather than hammering away and it's not massively effective but it's safe, stylish and makes me want to parry everything for the moral/mental SSS ranks I crave.

I WANT to be efficient, but sometimes, just hammering on an enemy until their guard breaks is the best option.

On second thought this game is lacking the poison rice dumpling. The most overpowered item in the original Tenchu.

This game is god drat awesome. The mechanics are unique and interesting, the controls are responsive and buttery smooth, the graphics are gorgeous and it runs like without issue on any even slightly modern computer. It's like a dream come true. I wish the bosses didn't hit so drat hard (why even give me a health bar if they take off 80% of it in one swing) but even still I have enjoyed every second of experiencing this wonderful thing so far.

See this is why I WILL NOT be stone sober, also in The Last Guardian, Trico pooped moments before the last playable section of the game, which then lead to a very sad cutscene that made me cry, so I expect From to handle this with the style and panache that Team Ico did[/spoiler]

Also like the spoilered quote above this is why I am playing for the first time kind of stoned, as I will cackle like an idiot at this. Even though I definitely won’t make it that far.
