Haris from eXputer: "A good gameplay system can compensate for below-average narrative/visuals but the vice verse is rarely possible in video games."
CGMagazine had the opportunity to speak about the soundtrack of Rise of the Ronin, Starfield and more with composer Inon Zur.
Koei Tecmo has revealed that Rise of the Ronin has gotten off to a solid start, with sales of the Team NINJA-developed PS5 already eclipsing the Nioh franchise.
Speaking in its latest financial report, the publisher revealed that “sales are surpassing the Nioh series” and noted that it has “high valuation by players.” No sales figures were divulged during the report, but clearly Rise of the Ronin is performing well just over a month since launch.
But I thought Rise Of The Ronin was a failure because it was an exclusive?
Gee wizz this is strange. It's outperforming the "Nioh" series in sales. I thought it was all doom and gloom on the sales front. I mean the Nioh series were considered a 'sales success' in the past. So how can this be with Ronin? /s

So yeh did ok I suppose!
Promising an adventure through 19th century Japan, Rise of the Ronin aims to blend historical intrigue with the sharp edges of action gaming. But does it strike just right like a well-honed katana, or does it stumble in its own ambitious footprints?
LMAO 🤣 bro this is a dumb comparison, like comparing monster hunter to ninja gaiden

Not sure if you read the whole article but the two games shown above are briefly touched on. The article mentions many games and systems. Really driving the point of how important gameplay is. To me the question should be, does anyone really need to be told this? If you been a gamer for even a short bit, you already know gameplay is king.
The Horizon Games have very stylized realistic graphics. They are not photorealistic, nor was photorealism a visual target for the series.
"A good gameplay system can compensate for below-average narrative/visuals but the vice verse is rarely possible in video games" on point, well done
Isn't horizens combat shoot arrow at part. basic button spam for melee with dodge?
Like the combat isnt why you play horizon, the graphics isnt why you play a hack and slash with customization in ronin either?
