With Team Ninja's action RPG out this week, check out how its combat distinguishes itself from the acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima.
It seems Ghost of Tsushima on PC will have the same PSN purchasing restrictions that caused massive backlash to Helldivers 2.
There's actually at least one 1st world country on that list and a number of 2nd world countries too. It's almost as if you don't know what defines 1st, 2nd or 3rd world countries... 🤔
not available in JAPAN., wtf sony need to sort their sh** out. this is beyond a joke when a samurai game cannot be sold in Japan, something is wrong.
Because for Japan you have to create a different version. You should look it up. The game is sold in Japan but its not the same storefront. Same with helldivers.
Has something to do with microtransaczion laws.
Look it up.
Got the feeling Sony are half arsing the PC thing. It's that or the whole PC thing is completely lost on them.
Its lost to sony, They have been quite poor at pc releases going all the way back to the OG planetside.
Why tho? The SP works without the need to log into PSN, this was literally announce. So why is it an issue? Simply A. removing the login restriction fixes this, or B. People simply won't play the MP which I don't think people will care much. A better option is A, or even better just lower the game price in those countries to compensate for the lack of MP access.
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
I can't trust any journalist any more. And I trust the corporate press releases even less.
@Eonjay
Hollywood Accounting. It's done all the time and it's been happening in gaming for awhile now. It's not new.
The statement I made said I don't trust corporation's press releases.
Not about how they use loopholes to manipulate tax codes and are technically "not lying."
Journalism is the most corrupt thing ever..
Mind control at its finest..
i am very glad to hear RoR is a success because Nioh sold a few millions on PS4 and PS5 combined.
I still want and hope to see Nioh3.
Team Ninja please do not forget Dead or Alive!
Data from Circana already shows the game debuted at number 5. We shall see if it continues the momentum in the soon-to-be-released April chart.
@thorstein
I get what your saying but just to be clear you don't believe "Rise Of The Ronin Sales Are ‘Surpassing The Nioh Series"?
I purchased Rise of Ronin and I'm enjoying the game but i liked Nioh and Nioh 2 much more and still play both and TBH I was hoping Rise of Robin was off on sales in hopes it would push Team Ninja to work on
Nioh 3 asap. Now I concede that's very selfish but I'm a fan what can I say and if you're a Souls game fan and have not played Nioh and Nioh 2 stop whatever your doing and purchase Nioh and jump in today. IMO I'd say Nioh is more difficult of the 2 only because in Nioh 2 you have more and better tools to plot through the game...... Nioh 3 can't come soon enough for me.
@Ra3030
No. Read the comment I replied to. That's what made me say what I said.
I believe that the game sold very well. There were articles trying to claim that it had failed. I am agreeing with the OP.
I too love the Souls games. I still own Demon's Souls PS3.
I want Rise, but I have such a backlog. NiOH, I was intrigued befits it launched and got out on Plus.
Actually, both FF16 and FF7Rebirth got decent sales. 3.5M+ millions sold is great, not as high as expected but still high. Haters really just want to look like they failed because it's exclusive to PS5.
I swear people on this site live in the smallest bubble. I've been doing this gaming thing for over 20 years. I'm almost 40. I've never once in my life heard a single person hate on one console or another. I've known plenty of people have preferences, sure. But never ever hate on it, or wish for a game to fail because it was an exclusive. That is just not reality. The only place that is reality is a few websites in forums on the internet. I guess if arguing and pledging allegiance to an electronic brand helps you pass the time, then so be it. But in the real world most people just want to play fun games.
@Swervecity
I wouldn't take this stuff that seriously. Hating on things and picking sides is fun. It's not the truth of a person and if it is that person might need more help than we can muster on a forum.

So yeh did ok I suppose!
I bought both but much preferred Ronin. Great game. Would be my GOTY so far if Stellar Blade hadn't come along and just completely blown everything else away.
Yes. I love the open world Tenchu vibes. Also enjoyed the blade twin though would have liked to switch back and forth between them both throughout the game (obviously couldn't for story reasons).
