Ninja Gaiden + DmC you definitely want NIOH. But Bloodborne is amazing and is only $15-$20 now.
If you can, get both
If you do get Bloodborne and enjoy it you MUST get The Old Hunters DLC.
I just got to the DLC in my first play through. I just got a PS4 in December that's why I haven't beaten it yet. Bloodborne is amazing and so far more fun and challenging than Dark Souls 3
There's a blacksmith you can sell weapons to for gold. You can also "make offerings" with weapons and armor you don't use at the shrine for Amrita (souls).
You can revisit older areas. You can sell your stuff through the shrine for amrita, or at the blacksmith for cash. I suggest you don't sell the higher rarity items so you can either break them down for their materials or soul forge them if needed.
It doesn't really play anything like NG/Black or NG2. However I have put countless hours into those games over the years and I'm really enjoying Nioh.
Exactly. Imo Bloodborne trumps everything Dark Souls is. It has better weapons, better bosses, better combat, better overall ambience, replay-ability through the chalice dungeons and the list goes on. As for the DLC, if you haven't already, have fun with Laurence the First Vicar and the Orphan of Kos. First playthroughs against them for me were a ragefest, moreso the former.
I made the mistake of playing the DLC on NG+2. I was able to defeat most of the dlc bosses first try cuz arcane build with tonitrus + attack up blood gems bodies bosses. But fucking laurence man. No matter how much fire resistance I had, he'd kill me in 1-2 hits. I died like 50+ times to him. Fuck laurence.
Literally the only negative is lack of enemy/mob diversity. Other than that, if you like action RPG's similar to Ninja Gaiden, DmC and Soulsborne series, this is a must buy.
It is reminiscent but may feel completely to slightly different than what you expect. You're pretty much going to have to try it out to get a feel for it, or will be able to get a gauge for how similar it is to the aforementioned if you've played something like Bloodborne. It's similar but also different still to that game too, so it's difficult to explain. It's got a lot of influences but is pretty unique. It's its own beast. The fact that you came from a Ninja Gaiden history may be a plus. Try it. I'm sure even a Shirai Ryu dog like yourself can find it as awesome as we do.
