Nioh 2’s Platinum Was Worth The Pain

[@cloudshifter]

The reason I personally like the Nioh games more than the original souls games is the story but mainly the combat system, it just completely blows fromsofts combat out of the water.

[@myersv2]

I agree with the combat system. The Nioh 2 combat system is awesome! And the other Team Ninja games are great as well. I am currently playing through Rise of the Ronin.

[@cloudshifter]

@@myersv2 I had played the Ninja Gaiden games and I was happy and amazed to see Ryu Hayabusa make a guest appearance here as a beast of a boss.

[@myersv2]

I need that play those games! I have heard that they are great and a good challenge!

[@MYSTERYDISCS]

Nioh 2 is a genuine masterpiece. The way the many systems work together is nothing short of miraculous, And there is no combat more satisfying in any game.

[@myersv2]

The combat is so satisfying, it’s my favorite part of the game!

[@kijura-8457]

sekiro has the best combat

[@myersv2]

I have to agree with you on that one. 👍

[@vibe7416]

Sekiro was my favourite even after beating nioh 2 but on my 2nd play through I started to see why its so praised. As much as. I love sekiro’s simplicity and boss design, the variety and cool factor of nioh 2 makes it on par imo. Both are on a different level compared to souls games which I find to be too slow and just not as fun

[@MYSTERYDISCS]

@@vibe7416 Yeah, I enjoyed my first play through a lot but it really clicked for me on the second play through too : ) There's a lot going on but when you get really comfortable with all the systems, there's nothing like it.

[@threedog27]

Nioh 2 is a gem without doubt

[@myersv2]

I 100% agree with you! 👊

[@dathip]

One of the *GREATEST GAMES* that team ninja has ever made but one of the *GREATEST GAMES OF ALL TIME* for me. When Nioh 2 came out in 2020, it officially became one of my top 10 games EVER made. I will NEVER get tired of this game. NEVER!

[@myersv2]

It’s such a great game because of it’s replay ability. I am the same I could play it for hours. It is for sure one of my top souls-like games.

[@cuongkimhoang6710]

Agree man, suprisingly, i spent more hour on nioh 2 than darksoul 1 2 3 and bloodborne

[@myersv2]

Same here, I already have more hours in Nioh 2 than those games.

[@dathip]

Same also. I have 600 hrs in Nioh 2, 400 hrs in Nioh 1=1000 hrs. Those two games ALONE match my Entire soulsborne hr count excluding elden ring, going all the way back to demons souls ps3.@@cuongkimhoang6710

[@myersv2]

Wow, 1,000 hours between both games! That is awesome! I probably have slightly more hours in Elden Ring than I do in Nioh 2, just because I have played through it a bunch messing around with different builds.

[@SwaxMain4u]

I love how the game teaches the player, you go from just using one stance and barely passing by bosses, to absolutley styling on them

[@myersv2]

That is very true! I remember the first boss I faced being so difficult and then by the end, most bosses I could beat first try.

[@kuttedi]

Congratulations on the Platinum Trophy! But more importantly, congrats on completing the Tutorial!

[@myersv2]

Thanks! And it’s so true! The game opens up after your initial play-through! It is such a great game!

Nioh 2 is a masterpiece and so is this video. Everything you said is real... also the score and atmosphere rock

[@highstudentproduction8195]

Man Nioh was just a hidden Gems! i really wish more people see this game! the combat was just amazing and the fact there a player who can play this like it was Ninja Gaiden/DMC was crazy!!

[@myersv2]

Concrat to the Plat ! As Nioh Fan I highly recommend you play Nioh 1 as well. Because this is the definition of pain. Nioh 2 was a breeze compared to Nioh 1. Agter finishing the maon story in Nioh 1 there are so many Side missions that just kick your ass 😂

Tokichiro/Hideyoshi didn't betray Nobunaga. He succeeded him after he died. The one who betrayed him was Akechi Mitsuhide when he led a suprise attack on Oda at a temple in Kyoto which is known as the Honnō-jo incident

this game is amazing, took me 77 hours to finish all the side/main missions. the bosses are super easy except for the bull 8:04 and the dude that betrays you 9:53

[@myersv2]

I agree, this is one of my favorite games all time because of the combat. I struggled for a little bit until I started to understand the combat. And then it just clicked and I was hooked.

Challenge accepted 🤝 Lol

[@Legion_319]

Sorry if you already know this, just want to be sure. If you decide to continue playing I I would suggest going through the DLCs and the NG+ cycles rather then completely starting over. The DLCs obviously have there own story. They are also needed for NG++ and onward. There are four difficulties by way of NG+(+/+/+). As you do them, new rarities, accessories, set bonuses, special effects, enemy movesets, and other mechanics are added or tweaked.

[@myersv2]

Thank you for the recommendation! I absolutely want to continue through the DLC! I am into NG++ currently and I stated the first DLC.

[@Fekron]

Even after platinum the game offers good endgame. I loved becoming an unstoppable kimling machine by building my char

Not a huge fan of calling Nioh a "soulslike" when it's largely built on what Team Ninja did with Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma which predates Demon's Souls.

That is fair.

And the DLC, with some hard bosses, like Tate Eboshi.

Nioh 2 fixed my broken leg and gave me a million dollars.

Nice 👍

[@McDanklestank]

The only part of the only game that I actually hated was the "Mausoleum of evil" level because it was like a maze and finding the kodama and hit springs was a bitch even with a guide. Nioh 1 had the level where you fight yasuke and that was waaaaaay worse and it had the 50 requests from the blacksmith trophy

[@myersv2]

I remember the Mausoleum of Evil and yeah it was a pain! Lol I still have yet to play Nioh 1, but I need to. I tried to play it a while ago but the combat is just not as good as Nioh 2 and made me want to play Nioh 2 Lol 😂

@@myersv2 yes i already loved nioh 1 and with ps5 i had to buy the edition with both games and all dlcs. And player nioh 2 with all dlcs again. All in all. Nioh 1 was harder but not thaaat much in my opinion (platinumed that too) But it was easier as with dlc came new difficulties where you couöd upgrade the gear to be a god. So the stupit duo bosses where easier. Without that it would have been 1000 times harder

[@myersv2]

That is awesome, I wish I would have played them on the PS4. I have heard that Nioh 1 is harder. I 100% want to play it and get the platinum trophy for it.

Nioh 2 is exceptional. Until you get to the depths of the underworld. Once you get there, you’ll experience record breaking burn out. But it’ll take around 200 hours to get there.

@@myersv2 once you get to dream of the Nioh your Amrita gain will skyrocket and you’ll level up like crazy. But gear will become much more important and you’ll need to start maximizing a build with graces.

[@myersv2]

I feel like I should probably be starting to think of my build. I have not really been doing a build. I am just using my highest level gear.

[@GriffinatorOriginal]

@@myersv2 honestly that works for all playthroughs. Even on DotN you’ll eventually be so powerful that your gear won’t matter much. It’s just for underworld and depths that builds matter since everything gets so tanky and stuff. Underworld unlocks as soon as you get to DotN and depths unlock after your clear all 108 floors of underworld. Depths drops the best gear in the game.

I feel like I need to go back and get some better gear in Dream of the Wise, because I am struggling in DLC 3 on Dream of the Demon. I feel like everything is one shoting me Lol 😂 Underworld and the depths seem tough, but I’m looking forward to it, should be filled with lots of rage moments Lol 😂

[@crazymoogy85]

It's actually easier than Nioh 1. It's awesome

[@myersv2]

I agree. I actually played Nioh 2 before I played Nioh 1 and Nioh 2s combat is just superior to Nioh 1. I should have played Nioh 1 first because now I don’t want to finish Nioh 1, I don’t like the combat as much as Nioh 2.

Shibata is by far the worst piece of crap in any soul game. The strongest boss in the game let's be honest, the final boss is a joke if you compare it.

There's nothing quite like it in any soul game.
