Can’t wait to come back from work today to play this.

[@G8oo8N8]

Same 😂 I started this morning.

[@jacktyler1082]

​@@G8oo8N8Same here😂 And i'm loving Rise of the Ronin. 🥰🏯

[@G8oo8N8]

Same. And drink a cold ass beer. Cheers!!

Same here. Almost done with work. It should be at my door when I get there.

I was this close 2 calling out 😅

[@corey_massey]

Bro....we really need to examine the review process....the review score is bad but this game is sooo much better than the reviews for this game suggest. Like alot better! Alot!!!!!!

[@ericwilliams7945]

Honestly this why i don’t let reviews decide weather i buy a game or not because reviews are subjective and everyone gonna like different stuff

[@timholloway8821]

Agreed I'm loving this game. I don't listen to reviews I gotta see for myself.

[@vishalbharadwaj570]

Frankly speaking. It's not reviews that needs to be rethinked. It's rather people's perception to reviews and review scores that needs to be. Review score of 76 doesn't make it a bad game. People came to think only score of above 80 is a good game. From our era. 50 was supposed to be bad game. Now people's perception changed

[@F4R4D4Y]

FightinCowboy on KZbin gave a lackluster walkthrough that he abandoned well before the end. I was playing the game and am really enjoying it currently now. Don't let reviewers who dis on this game ruin it for you. The gardens and pleasure district textures are as good as anything in GOT. So enjoy. @FightinCowboy stick to Armor Core games!

[@mookiestewart3776]

@@vishalbharadwaj570this is a simplistic analysis of the situation. The reviewers giving this game a 76 ARE saying that the game is underwhelming which is inherently false . Simply putting the blame on the watcher is nonsense

[@slashdef]

Only, just made it to the open world (and helped a herbalist) these will definitely help, thanks Rob.

[@G8oo8N8]

[@I-trust-to-much]

I’ve been loving this game. I understand the criticism and it’s valid. But taking in the game and playing it has been thoroughly enjoyable team Ninja did a great job I think.

[@Arichan15]

Need to finish Rebirth before I can start either RotR or DD2. Can't wait to play though.

[@withoutthejuice7193]

Finished it last night, perfect timing

[@elduderinoduder1699]

I really don't understand all the hate this game is getting, i tried Nioh but couldn't really get into since I've never been big on souls like games, I've only played a little bit of rise but I'm loving the combat (difficult as it is) I'm a massive history nerd, which is the main reason i brought it

[@PlayStationAccess]

You get to be best friends with samurai. What's not to like?

[@Agheel963]

Few hours in. Great game so far lots of helpful tips here

[@oneupdawg]

I'm excited for dd2 but i'm more interested in this. Cant wait to try it tonight

[@RpgAddict325]

I’m about 7 hours in and one thing that really surprised me is how good this game looks, the way people was talking pre release I thought the graphics would be ugly as hell!

[@RagnarokMic]

These days, if it’s not the best…it’s the worst. It’s looks a bit outdated, but still not bad graphics.

[@chilly6470]

I like the way it looks. There's just something about. I just wish it performed better.

[@TehG00dFeLLa]

Combat is insane good in this game. Story could be better but from just fighting around got tons of emotions. Team Ninja the best 💯🍻

[@brinouaz]

I'm 4 hours in and I didn't know many of these tips.Thank you!

[@kingbuusaki7130]

I'm really enjoying this. I switched the control scheme so I can run with the joyst. That makes it much better because most games use that now

[@Mal_Intent]

Always love hearing the dulcet tones of Mr Pearson lol. Great video as usual.

[@ircha]

Great tips! 🎉

[@stevek4449]

Looks like a fun game and well thought out mechanics. The grappling hook reminds me of a ps2 game called Tenchu Z. With it, you got a cross hair and pull yourself up any wall ceiling or roof top and wait for the enemy to come by and like a spider, drop in from above. Once downloaded I look to enjoying it.

[@vagnernunes8021]

Thank you ❤

Hold R1+R3 too clean the blood off your sword, there are quite a few cool animations too!

[@F4R4D4Y]

I am enjoying this game immensely!

[@danhill99]

Love this game, the combat is excellent beyond my expectations

[@Bee_392]

You guys; reviews and KZbin videos don’t do this game any justice. It’s a prettier game than what we are lead to believe. Made the purchase last night and have spent the entirety of the day playing 😅 the combat is amazing

[@NicknLex]

This game is amazing and really got robbed of it's score. All the nonsense about the graphics and supposedly empty world. It's sad that most of the negative reviews are from Xbox and PC players. Great to see how much love this game is getting from the community.

[@Impulsejr]

Perfecto!

Omg! Dark souls with samurai AGAIN! ...And that is still awesome! 😎 ... Doesn't the Suicide squad have a samurai in their ranks?🤔

[@ComedyDanks]

dont worry if you cant parry like me you can get by with blocking dodging and just cheesing lol

[@jalenbaker6708]

how do we upgrade the ryu hayabusa Shinobi stance

[@classicuscomics]

How do you use the skill scrolls? I have them in my inventory but it won’t let me use them

[@PlayStationAccess]

There are two kinds of items: Treatises give you skill points, and the Scrolls are given to allies to boost their stats.

[@jarko8994]

Gamerate 9/10🎉

[@SantoAtheos]

To be fair to Rob, Mr. Bean is kind of a savant.

[@TwinFather0420]

Most annoying thing about this game by far is the need to use different names for basic things. It’s not a parry, it’s a counterspark. It’s not grabbing or searching an item. It’s checking it. Other than that, the only issue I have is watching other people play the game in a way that make me look like a toddler playing with a controller.

[@tyrecarmon20]

Man there is so much stuff to do that i didn't realized 😭

[@Killerwhale317]

Damn Playstation exclusives. This game looks fun. 😮

[@TehG00dFeLLa]

Where did you get the Pocket watch?

You get it from doing the main story missions - I think it's the second mission in the Follow Your Blade Twin arc.

I can't press r1 and triangle at the same time. 😂

Pro tip: use the boost to get through

[@RobK-rl6sn]

I really wanted to love this game. I love team ninja and their Niho series. But maybe it's me I don't know. The combat and Rise of the Ronin is just not on the level as some of their other games and because of that I just can't get into it.

@@A25Phoenix lol, "nothing". What I mean is it's more of the same. It's literally the same thing we been doing in every game just with different skins and number values.

We do normally, but try not to clutter video with subtitles if we can avoid it. Great voice acting in this one.

[@rare2b]

They need to fix the perry it works perfect on pc but on ps5 i made a magic build cause you cant counterspark without a mouse😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@farmpunk_dan]

If they’re going to charge more, the games should at least look more impressive to match. This game looks pretty generic but fun, however let’s be honest, the graphics were miles better in Ghost of Tsushima a few years ago and that was $60.

[@budfug8691]

While graphics do matter, it’s not an issue here. Its the fact that it’s not a fantastical is what hurts it in that department because art direction can go miles

[@MacDibs]

Yeah still loving this game though.
