Yeah he says it feels dated and doesn't stack up to the other releases out there that does these types of mechanics better.
Definitely not a day 1 buy from how it sounds.

With the terrible pop in either TN doesn't know how to utilize the PS5 or its secretly simultaneously being programed for the PC.

Their "new engine" already showcased crap performance and mediocre-at-best visuals in Wo Long.

Rise of the Ronin: The Final Preview - IGN
Rise of the Ronin sits somewhere between Assassin's Creed and Nioh, but the action RPG's rhythm combat took me back to a 27-year-old PS1 classic
Preview | Team Ninja's latest PS5 exclusive is the studio's most ambitious yet – can it pull off everything it hopes to achieve?

After two hours with Rise of the Ronin, we've come away incredibly impressed by its story, historical themes, and timing-driven combat.

So lazy and not utilizing PS5.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Lmao those graphics look mid gen PS4 at best. Shameful. That pop in, holy christ.
Entire game looks dated as shit. This is supposed to be a PS5 exclusive?
They make FROM look talented visually.
4/10 from me. Next!
You cant make an open world game that you want me to get immersed in and skimp out on everything except combat. They have no idea what they're doing here. Go back to linear masterpieces like Ninja Gaiden.

Seeing the impressions from the people I trust, this looks like a day one buy. Yeah it's not visually stunning, but the graphics are still fine and everything else looks absolutely insane. I loved Tsushima, but this seems to have even better combat and a far more interesting open world.

While FC is my go-to for Souls vids, I'd personally never hang my hat solely one just one person's opinion. The game imo looks pretty damn good so far.

Visually dated but still fun and previews are good so it's a day 1 for me.
Looks 2 gens behind Ghost though.

Nioh 2 is one of his all time favourites and he ranks it above most of From's games.
The "accessibility" is to the detriment of this game from the look of things.

I don’t spend 24/7 on game journalists sites or YouTube. This came popping up, I watched it, and I posted it.
Others have added others.
Thanks.
EDIT: Thank you for posting other impressions. I added them to the OP!

This is kind of a wait for PS Plus or Wait for Sale type of game for me, unless reviews surprise greatly. I think this will probably average in the 70s meta.
Will grab Stellar Blade instead

"normal" may be Dark Souls but there is an easy and a harder one is my guess.
Anyone know how Fighting Cowboy liked Wo Long? Cause that was a skip for me after playing it on Game Pass. If this is even worse. Oh boy

This is what im talking about with gamepress... there is no way of thrusting anyone who says something like this .... bacause anything minor as it is can be a motive for "not liking" something ... it dosent have propoer representation, it treats women bad, no lgbt characters and so on.. even if the guy dosent say it .. the bias is there in someway. Fucked up times.

interesting take, elden ring does look like a shit unless u play on PC and it still does

It's funny. Many people saw this coming from a mile away when they showed that trailer with the dated graphics and clunky gameplay and fanboys of this game were calling everyone haters. Then the previews are confirming exactly what we thought. I don't think the game is going to be bad or anything but it was clear the moment they showed gameplay that we aren't getting another Sekiro or Ghost of T here.

I'm actually a bit surprised that this game got way less hype compared to Dragons Dogma 2.
As a big Team Ninja fan, I'm gonna day one this over DD2.

I will say, he didn't present any of that type of stuff when I used to watch him. He is also quite knowledgeable about these types of games, up until that stream he was my go too youtuber for souls like gameplay opinions.

Agreed. If you know my post history here you’d know I hate From games too lol. But they at least look better than this visually. This has better combat. But they’ve mailed it in with everything else.interesting take, elden ring does look like a shit unless u play on PC and it still does
Open world looks straight out of the PS3 era in terms of content and design.
Stealth straight out of PS3 era. That bow section made me shudder
Visuals mid gen PS4
No clue about the story, not expecting anything engaging.
Combat looks solid, saving grace.
But an open world needs to have a world I’d want to get lost in exploring.
This screams “why the fuck is it open world”
4/10 on my notoriously difficult rating scale

Looks decent. I think it looks worse than it might be since Ghosts of Tsushima with its bold colours looks so much more impressive.

"We saw this coming, we told you so."
Most of the previews are quite positive though...

Not really. You can't pass judgement on total depth based on a couple of hours of playtime - especially in a game with this sort of open-world format.
The whole point of having open environments is that the player has plenty of alternatives to, and distractions from, the "golden path". A game like Nioh is the exact opposite of this; the level-based progression is all "golden path" and every side-mission is segregated from it, and clearly marked as being separate.
If you want an obvious point of comparison, think about what most people get done in the first couple of hours of Elden Ring the first time they play it, versus what can be done by an experienced player who knows exactly where to go and when in order to maximize their character development.
