Splatoon has sold to date, 1.8 million more copies than Zero Dawn on a console that sold 44.4 million less units... and is losing? Gotta love you Vgchartz. Keep on keepin' on.

Most people just bought Splatoon cause there's not much to buy on Wii U, it makes sense that they didn't necessarily even like it let alone think it's the best new IP. Horizon is on a console that has great games dropping in left and right, so to get a sale on PS4 it has to have much greater interest.

Sorry but that's very dumb reason to say, if that's true some other Wii U games would also had great sales, reality is that Splatoon is one of best selling games on Wii U and because it's totally something new, great, and fun game, that Nintendo pushed with strong marketing and regular updates, "not because Wii U owner didn't had anything to play". Fact that people were saying for Splatoon that's one of best game and best new IP this gen, even before this thread, proves that.

And Splatoon 2 will be even much more popular because it will be on platform that will have much higher instal base, Splatoon 2 currently dominating on Japanese pre order list of games.

I've been playing Nioh. Absolutely love it. Dark Souls but for people who don't want it to be so hard and it's faster. It's basically the spiritual successor to Ninja Gaiden IMO. I bet they make a new Ninja Gaiden and follow the same formula.

It's harder than Dark Souls, not harder than Demon's, tho.

Nioh is just amazing, I can't stress it enough.

Eh I disagree. I think Souls was harder. Either that or I'm just getting better at playing these kind of games and I didn't realize it.



Horizon and Bloodborne for me.


Splatoon i don't care about but you gotta give props to Nintendo, they created a huge new IP in Japan with just 1 game, Splatoon 2 will take Japan by storm (if Ninty can have enough Switch supply) lol.



I am late to the party but for me on PS4 it is between Ni-oh and Horizon on XB1 it is without a doubt Sunset Overdrive. And even though I don't have a Wii U or Switch I would say Splatoon takes the cake there because it just looks fun as heck.

My vote will go for games I have played and after debating with myself lol....Horizon gets mt vote.

It's a very average game, the 81 metacrtic score proves that, it's the type of game Sony just shits out and doesn't even care, but something that can take off on a Nintendo console due to no competition and people being really desperate for something decent to play.

I totally underestimated Horizon's appeal!.. let's see if it ages better than Bloodborne.

Horizon will age fine, as Blood and Wine.

Just wanted to point out that HZD is at 3.4 million as of the end of Apri it seems(http://www.ign.com/articles/2017/06/06/horizon-zero-dawn-has-now-sold-34-million-copies) so that 1.8 million more to date you mentioned is incorrect....

Dark Souls is just not that hard, even less Dark Souls 2 (though Darklurker is freaking hard), and I haven't played the third yet.
Nioh starts WAY harder than those games at least, the bosses are more chalenging too.

I've just going thorugh Dark Souls around April again to get the platinum (from the beginning) and it was quite the walk in the park.

I played Dark Souls maybe 2 years ago. It was hard as hell and had to find cheap tricks or use those people you can rez to beat the bosses. In Nioh I'm finding it much easier to beat the bosses. One of the bosses literally involved me just blocking everything until be brings his face down and then I attack without any consequences, rinse and repeat. Haven't played DS2 or 3 yet I'm sure I will eventually.

Either way I find Nioh much more enjoyable from the weapons to the whole style (love being a Ninja).

You don't know what are you talking, no its not average game, its something new, great, and fun, and sales and popularity of game proves that, preorders of Splatoon 2 also proves that, also fact that people were saying for Splatoon that's one of best game and best new IP this gen, even before this thread, proves that. Main reason why game has 81 metacritic score is because game had very small amount of content on launch, but only few months after launch game had double of launch content.

And like I wrote, Splatoon 2 will be even much more popular because it will be on platform that will have much higher instal base, Splatoon 2 currently dominating on Japanese pre order list of games.

Where are you in Nioh right now?

I'm on the boss that has water everywhere. Where you have to light up the flame torches across the level. I see two different strategies to beat him just need to get my timing down better.
