When I played this I set the language to Japanese and turned off subtitles. The story was gloriously confusing and I think it made me enjoy it more that way. I had no idea what anyone was saying and judging by Williams reactions neither did he so I felt more immersed.

Should have a immersive audio option, where we can only understand the characters from England and for the most part, both the player and William is completely baffled at what everyone else is saying. I want to understand even less! Now that’s what i call truly immersive.

Actually, I will just point out that early on in the game, you're told by the cat guardian spirit that he's given you the ability to understand Japanese and to be understood by the locals. So William did understand what was being said, his reactions are just meant to be a bit goofy to ham up the whole "fish out of water" aspect. All that being said, it's still a funny idea though.

The Nioh games are seriously underrated. The loot system is great, and even as a long time Souls player nothing comes remotely close to Niohs ki-pulsing, stance switching, build crafting, min-maxing greatness. Also the NG+ runs are actual challenges. Great games. Everyone that is into soulslikes and hasn't at least tried them is seriously missing out.

Nioh2 hast the best combat system ever created that is not pure fighting game like Street Fighter or Mortal combat. And you miss on a lot if you don't swich stances when Ki pulsing to get back more stamina and also use dodge to ki pulse and recover positioning and stamina. Also always switch to low stance to dodge.

Great review and in such a short amount of time! You pretty much highlighted most of the qualms I have about Nioh as well, from the awful scenery/enemy variety to certain cheese being possible. Though, from what I can see in the footage, it's unfortunate you weren't able to experience the depths of the Nioh combat. That is: - Stance switching; using Flux 1 or better yet Flux 2 you get back more ki than you started with, allowing you to really keep up the pressure. Using the dodge ki pulse only leaves you with less ki. - Skills; I haven't seen you use many skills. They can do many things, inflict great damage, stunlock, a bull charge, or even give the axe a ranged attack. Moreover, skills don't bounce off enemy guard (with the Axe/Odachi this is less of a problem, but with other weapons you will feel this). - Purification; purifying the dark yokai pools can give great temporary buffs and stop them hurting your stamina regen Though it's great on Nioh's part that it can be finished using basic combat, it will feel much less of a grind and fights will take maybe half the time if all basics are learned. I'm saying this because, at least in my opinion, I feel Nioh 2 requires more of the player in terms of knowing and using the basics; adding even more skills and then adds Yokai Soul Cores on top of that, while removing living weapon (luckily also for most human enemies, as that was such a horrible mechanic).
@duckyduckington9736
@duckyduckington9736 Месяц назад
the tonfa's and odachi really scratch that itch of "being cool af" with the tonfa's having a gun built into them to cause bonus explosion damage. Making it super fun to use (I watched a guy carry me with it and damn was it good) Most late game players just stack tons of buffs and then debuff the enemies and do... 100,000 damage in one swing. Not an exaggeration btw, literally happened earlier with a dual swords user, he just 1 tapped both bosses and I walked out like nothing happened. Also, the abyss is like chalice dungeons but worse, atleast chalice dungeons dont reuse bosses, the abyss couldn't even have unique fights. Though, unlike bloodborne there is ALOT more content to do when it comes to it so fairs fair.

Great review! Nioh 2 is my favorite game I've ever played but Nioh still holds a special place in my heart. I had a ton of issues with Nioh 1 when I first picked it up and if it wasn't for a friend pushing me to keep playing I would've dropped it after the first region. The game just felt unfair to me, like ridiculously unfair, and I blamed the game design persistently. Hino Enma was the boss that almost broke me... until my friend booted up the game and proceeded to no hit her using his bare fists. Once I realized that the game expects you to play perfectly, and that I had to put my all into mastering the combat and strategy, I fell in love. Mechanics like ki pulsing, stance switching, choosing to block or dodge, skill selection, etc. all began to fall into place. I ran Odachi with medium armor for the base game and it had so much depth with the stance switch combo enders. Loved the game despite it's flaws, but man we aren't lying when we say Nioh 2 fixes pretty much every complaint I had with Nioh and added even more depth to it's mechanics. Most of the enemies and a select few bosses from Nioh appear in Nioh 2, but there are plenty of new enemies and the bosses in Nioh 2 (besides 1 or 2 of them) are significantly more fun to fight. Ran all the way through Dream of the Nioh and the underworld in Nioh 2 and I still have more weapons to master and builds to make, it's truly and endless playground. Can't wait to see the Nioh 2 review!

Great review! A fair and accurate cover of Nioh and all its worts. The fact you got through WoTN with KBM makes you literally a legend. The game wasn't made for it and I can't imagine how much harder that made an already brutal game. But I also feel KBM creates a roadblock into delving into the depth of the stance-switching portion of Nioh's combat system. What made TN so visionary, imo, at least from the Dark Souls side of the equation, was the addition of the ki pulse, and correspondingly, flux 1/flux 2. In the DS combat system, you're forced to pause or run around as your stamina refreshes, which is part of the difficulty. In Nioh, you can almost fully eliminate stamina as a constraint by switching stances and ki pulsing, and as a reward, you truncate attack animations and move faster. It's another difficulty layered under the basic timing and stamina management difficulties. Which is revolutionary, because it creates an avenue to circumvent a major penalty in the DS combat system, but hides it behind a skill wall. Adding a 3rd genre, i.e., fighting game, to the Diablo/Dark souls backbone. That stance-switching-to-manage-stamina portion of the combat system, unfortunately, has never been picked up by another developer, which is sad because it added so much depth and was an evolution on the DS combat equation. Looking forward to your Nioh 2 review!

Nioh 2 is in my eyes, an improvement over the first one for a number of reasons. Level design is much better in Nioh 2, the Yokai Shift mechanic is in my view, better than Living Weapon since it heavily encourages use of Soul Core abilities and not simple R1 spam. It's even got a character creator and boy are some of the creations just amazing. It has an actual tutorial, brief as it is, and you can access the dojo for practice right away instead of being forced through the Tower of London where you don't even have access to ki pulsing yet, which is a key mechanic to winning fights. The Fists and Splitstaff are all around great weapons. I will say this though, the DLC side mission, Against All Comers is an absolute ballbuster of a mission.

When you inevitably play nioh2 I wanna recommend the fist+odachi combo for NG just because I'm also a stubborn souls nerd and that combo really taught me to appreciate the stance/weapon swapping and is such an amazing ki wrecker. You'll be using all of your stances and get comfortable with swapping really quickly. Never could get my brain to block instead of dodge though lol Set different elements to each stance and you're a versatile powerhouse that can handle ANY situation with style. Personally I used a poison/water centered build for the huge damage buffs and i LOVED it It's also great because those weapons don't really require any of the rare boss drops for their moveset, although those are sweet if you get them.

Great review and props for sticking with it despite your issues with the level and boss design. Two things I don't believe you mentioned which are hugely important to the combat system though: The stance you're in affects your dodge length, speed, and s. As well as this, you can ki pulse by stance or weapon-switching, allowing you to near-infinitely combo (and incentivizes you to change your combat style on the fly depending on the enemies' attack patterns). Nioh 2 is an improvement over 1 in every single way; my only complaint is that the burst counter system makes high-level combat a bit too easy (minus situations where you're outnumbered). Can't wait to see what you think about 2. Cheers!

The thing with the story presentation, I think, is that it's done in a Dynasty Warriors style. It assumes you're already a fan of these characters from all the other stories you've seen them in and thus just uses the cutscenes to make them seem cool and keep their fans happy, only to then never show them again. It's definitely a mess

Since I have it for free on Epic I want to try it again with a different mindset. I've also heard Nioh 2 is much better.

I hope it's a critical and commercial success. Your Diablo IV works have shown that there is a strong appetite for that kind of secondary media (I believe that's what you called it before) so success for any similar title should translate to success for your channel. Onward to 200k. All glory to the algorithm.

It is well balanced from the first mission all the way until the end of the abyss Floor 108. Like I said I hope you try it out, I think you'll like it, and I look forward to seeing you review Nioh 2.

Amazing review. Great that you love NiOH and WoTR. Now time to 100% NiOH2 before BG3 launches. Its true, NiOH 2 is better in every aspect compared to 1, apart from story presentation, which i feel is done the same way. But by god...the combat system! Its the BEST combat system invented for any RPG by far. Its THAT good!

Amazing review, what I loved about this game was the way it represents japanese history, culture, religion and folklore. I was fascinated when I found out that all those characters actually existed and had their real life history, some of them are really importan in Japan history. This idea of spirits inside everyone is a shintoism belief and is beautifully represented in the game. Many of the yokai enemies are mithical creatures of japanese folklore. In conclusion, I loved the game but I also learned a lot about Japan.

The thing with Nioh game is that it won't have to be a grind if the player use their time to actually learning new moves and trying out new things. If they approach it like dark souls and only spamming simple moves over and over then of course it'll feel like a grind.

Before I say anything, I want to mention that I really liked this review and I think most of the criticisms are 100% valid. That being said in regards to bosses and the defensive mechanics and being 1 shot in WotN, this game is really all about mastery of the mechanics, and mastery of the enemies. The bosses have a lot of moves that feel cheap, but often are telegraphed by sequences or some other tell that makes them a lot more manageable, and thus nullifies a lot of frustration with the game. That paired with general mastery makes it so you don't really need to rely on gimmicks to defeat them (except admittedly stupid bosses like centipede or Umi Bozu) As for dodge vs block, they are both supposed to be used in tandem with one another in order to play defensively. Ki damage is higher or lower on different attacks, and dodging is very strong if you use it well. Dodging into attacks works well, and the 3 types of dodges are very important when you understand what theyre for. Dash is high mobility but low s, roll is high i frames but bad recovery and limited mobility, and double dodge basically goes all in for s and distance at the expense of recovery. As for parrying and other active skills, they are all important and I could make an even bigger text wall talking about them. All of this comes with mastery of the game and its system, though, and I acknowledge that not everyone is going to sit around to learn the nuances of it all like I did. Useless textwall that will probably go unread over lol.

@Nightbar0n
@Nightbar0n 11 месяцев назад
Nioh 2 got more content, its basically a more polished up Nioh 1, albeit have more stuff, it still can be quite boring due to inherited characteristics of looter games, which more than (too) often requires you running the same set of levels several more times (just with better loot drops and harder enemies) after the first run through. But all and all... I definitely have a good time playing it.
@Samissa806
@Samissa806 11 месяцев назад
Would you recommend it for someone you played only base game Nioh 1 ? I kind of got frustrated at the first DLC bosses and stopped playing because it was a grind, but at the same time if 2 fixes that many issues with it I may give it a try.
@Nightbar0n
@Nightbar0n 11 месяцев назад
@Samissa806 Depends though... the grind is definitely still there, its just in nioh2 we got more wider variety of choices for handling some particularly annoying bosses, but for me personally I just run it once for everything (Base & DLC)... So I guess, if its possible... i would say, just get it while it on discount.
@Walamonga1313
@Walamonga1313 11 месяцев назад
​@@Samissa806Nioh 2 is basically the same as 1 but with more. What this means is more missions, more enemies, more bosses, more weapons. But the thing is more and new don't necessarily mean good. Lots of the new enemies are just annoying (feel like the DLC enemies of Nioh1). Some of the new mechanics are just a bother (dark realm and counter move). The grind is worse (ninja/onmyo take farming to properly use, beyond leveling up the stats)

In fairness, having convoluted stories, bizarre cutscenes, and requiring a bunch of extra reading to make sense of the story are all beloved staples of the Souls games. I'm not saying Nioh does it as good as Souls games, but that it's par for the course for this genre.

All I did was co-op to show off my new skin and guide noobies through this game's wonderful level design. All the shortcuts, alternate routes, kodama, breakable walls, ridiculous builds & strats...man I miss this game. My favorite weapon is tonfa w/ tonfa gun skill, explosions everywhere it is glorious gameplay. Very proud of this platinum trophy. ^^ Nioh 2 is even better, but the OG will always have a special place in my heart.

One thing i like about how Nioh's story is told is that it feels like a sly criticism of the storytelling of Soulsborne. You said it yourself 7:07 "I think the story gets a pass because the information is all in the game. It does require you to read codex entries of things not explained." Just a goofier version of reading item descriptions, on purpose, to me

Great video, I really tried with Nioh, after completing Bloodborne with relative ease I thought I had gotten the nack of these games. Nioh however was another story, even fighting trash monsters felt like such a wall. I gave up shortly after getting past the toad boss when on particular level had me fighting only 3-4 yoki of note but 2/4 could just kill me with ease just could not figure out how to kill them regularly. I did love the style etc of the game though just too tough for me could not imagine several new game plus modes my god.
