Nioh is my Christmas present to myself

[@lumpyspacecadet]

Do you realize games costing $50 back in the mid-80's would cost ~$113 in today's money?!!?? Shook.

[@Scerttle]

You are correct. After watching this video I made a new rule that I will unquestionably pay up to $115 for a game + sizeable DLC. Season pass $30? OK.

[@Scerttle]

Very true. That’s why I’m saying I don’t mind splurging on DLC these days 😁

[@charliehustle420247]

less people bought games back then. a million sold used to be considered extremely successful.

[@EtherealOmni]

Tim Rogers, your way of speaking to the audience is so zany and off the wall. I absolutely enjoy every video you have put up and it's a serious blast to listen to you speak in such a way that is just so mind blowing yet a joy to listen to. Thanks for the laughs man, every time I hear your voice in a video, instant like.

[@ProjectFreelancer64]

please make a 1 hour video of stick shift mechanics in action games because i love your stuff and liked your vid!

[@Pyraxian1]

Hell yeah. Came to say same thing. I would watch the hecking my stuff out of that.

[@Wezzeth]

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!

[@EvilKingPhill]

Tim Rogers videos have now become my number 1 favorite Kotaku videos to watch, even over highlight reel

[@JuliusCaesar103]

Tim Rogers is one of my favorite humans. I'm surprised I'm only finding out about his videos now, especially when I was reading his reviews on the Action Button website 10 or so years ago. Love you, Tim.

[@muchthink535]

I swear Tim Rogers is a treasure and we don’t deserve him. I’d 100% watch an hour long video on stick shift mechanics.

[@mrphangoldwing]

Who is this guy, Tim Rogers, this guy is FUNNY! lol ... He has a funny way of talking and it's very entertaining. Does he have a separate channel or something?

Dude, I'd watch a feature length by you

still waiting for 1 hour jrpg battle systems video

[@bladecommando]

After this video I gave myself the gift of Nioh to myself as well. Hecking good call my dude.

[@Signsoflife-rc4uq]

TIM ROGERS IS THE SHIT. HIS HUMOR AND DEEP LOVE OF GAMING IS AN INSPIRATION.

[@ThatguyFalcone]

Great video! I myself have too been awaiting the moment to play this game since I saw it's release on the PS4 earlier this year. Apart from Horizon Zero Dawn and Unchgarted 4, I really haven't seriously sat down and banged out a game this year. This might be the one come boxing day when I have some free time.

[@weeaboofish174]

Tim i absolutely love every video you make and i would love watching an hour long video about "stick-shift mechanics." Keep up the good work.

[@spifflocalypse]

oh my god tim. i absolutely love the whole feeling of "stick-shift mechanics," but could never explain exactly what it was! what a fantastic coining of phrase (and explanation of the phrase)! Please make a one hour video about it!

[@chancecole437]

I want that hour long vid

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

I only watch the videos when they involve Tim. Sorry Kotaku. Though I do love the Kotaku site, just not the YT videos... except Tim.

[@Wezzeth]

My thoughts exactly. I love a lot of the written content, both from the US and UK branches, but the non-Tim videos come off as uniformly bland to me. The highlight reel, especially, seems like a wasted opportunity. I know editing and scripting videos is hugely time-consuming, but every time I watch that series, I get so very frustrated that it isn't more geared towards newcomers. I play a lot of games, but just about every time a game I haven't played is featured, I feel completely lost. I realise it's difficult to find a way to present those clips in a way that conveys the awesomeness of the particular moment to a neophyte, while not robbing it of its interest for the hardcore, but nevertheless, I think an approach like that would be much more interesting, entertaining and, dare I say it, useful.

[@ThatShyGuyMatt]

Yeah I'm not gaming much anymore so so many of the clips in the highlight real leave me posting on here "I don't get it, what happened in clip?".

[@skyedogg]

I love you Tim Rogers

[@mayanatsume9886]

Nioh is the best game I played this year and you sir are the best reviewer I've seen in a while! Greatly because we have very similar taste in games and I'll be looking forward to more reviews from you!

[@JustGrasss]

That cold stone idea was genius tim

[@ElNarez]

you know the game is good when it brings out an idea that's the sequel to sticky friction, which is maybe the most essential concept in how games are understood

[@gus6736]

I was born stupid. However, I will not die hungry. Videogames forever! I love that fucking line.

[@vstpnv]

here for some stick shift action

I must hear more about stick-shift gaming.

[@Aidian1]

Would love to see a video of yours after you complete the game that breaks down how much you learned and how much better you got along the way.

[@KazumiKiguma]

Actually yes, please do make a 1 hour video on stick shift mechanics, that would be fantastic.

tim... this is the first youtube comment i've left in years. every hour-long video you say you would do if you had the time to make it is a video i would watch over and over again. i Like your Stuff and i'm Shouting you Out

[@genericwhitename8776]

I like Tim Rogers' taste because I know it's not nearly the same as mine, but I know that if he loves a game and it looks fun to me I will probably enjoy it greatly

[@blazekazama1793]

Loved the video, Tim! You got great taste in video games btw. I am vaguely familiar with what you refer to as 'stick shift' action games, my favorite kinda games. I would love to see an hour long video on that!

Thank you for finally explaining why I love Monster Hunter and Nioh but can't get into Dark Souls no matter how many times I throw myself at that series. Please make a 1 hour video about stick shift mechanics in games.

[@DapaChrons]

Nioh is "manual transmission Dark Souls" I love it

[@Aidian1]

I love that "nioh is manual transmission dark souls" its one of my all time favorite games. I've put around 800 hours into it. Once you learn to love the grind, you can put so much time into it. Everytime I finish a game now, I go back to Nioh until I get another. Nioh 2 on the way baby 😍

[@itanocircus2106]

Nioh was touted as being a samurai souls game... and it just never had any character of it's own in my book. I've platinumed all FROM's souls series and got bored with Nioh within a week. Just doesn't have a spark, in my book.
