I'm so glad Nath loves Nioh and is somewhat familiar with the soulslike games, I don't feel any other access team members really give them the time - which is fair enough, they aren't for everyone for sure. But just having one person who can show these off and knows what they are doing is so refreshing to see - thanks for the coverage. Also kudos to Dave - who really doesnt seem like the target audience of these, but is still able to ask the right questions for other people new to the games :D

[@thelonesomewanderer8359]

cant wait for this game. I played the hell out of nioh and loved every minute of it, very excited!

[@PuffySofty]

Idk the UI and render looks kinda cartoonish compared to Sekiro (which I loved) but I heard from many that Nioh has better combat?

[@PuffySofty]

G C the only thing that’s catching my interest is the customization in nioh 2

[@BlackedRaaw]

Same here! I don't know why but for some reason Nioh is one of my all time favorite games for me, and I've played so many. I just love the game so dearly.

[@yuukiterumi1864]

@G C what does that have to do with anything? They're 2 completely different games, awards don't mean anything

[@thelonesomewanderer8359]

@Afterlife is The Future well it will be similar to the first game in terms of mechanics but storywise no, we play as our own created character this time instead of playing as William

[@imperatorriculus1587]

One of the best games I ever played. I was so excited for the 2nd part that I played the 3 available missions in the last beta test for the whole weekend. I even leveled my character to lvl 51 just with the 2 starter missions... I can’t imagine the fun when I can actually play the real game

[@1lb2rt4t4rr2s]

[@dehfunnykid]

Honestly this is just more Nioh. Like a massive dlc. They haven’t changed anything visually, just added new weapons and character customization. It’s too samey for me to get excited for. That’s what makes FromSoft’s games so special is they all feel like completely new games.

[@hanzohassaszi1410]

Every call of duty game and fifa game is the same and you bitch about nioh

[@dehfunnykid]

Hanzo Hassaszi I don’t play either of those games, so that has nothing to do with it. I liked the first Nioh, but I don’t want to pay 60 bucks for something that’s barely different.

[@S6Ryujin]

Amir Paydar I liked the first nioh as well, and the combat system and overall theme of the game is similar yes, but for the similarities, they brought over the things that worked so if it aint broke dont fix it and then ruin it. and imo nioh2 has successfully rooted itself with differences and special skills like soul core abilities and yokai shift and and anima bursts and benevolent graves and three person coop among other all new features that we never have seen before that i dont even wanna play the old one anymore, I’m literally getting anxious waiting for the full nioh 2 because it’s gonna be such an awesome experience. If you dont see significant differences between 2 and 1 then it’s because you didnt get far enough in the old one and get intimately familiar with everything in the game

[@einsp227]

Played the first like crazy and loved every single death. Can’t wait for this.

[@snwcombat8716]

@@unknowngamersekiro561 Nope. I liked niohs combat but it's nothing compared dark souls

[@kamikage9420]

@@unknowngamersekiro561 I know right? I've been giving Dark Souls 3 a serious go for the first time and actually sticking with a character, and I keep noticing things I miss from Nioh and Nioh 2. From little details like sheathed weapons being displayed on the body while not in use to huge boons like the online connection style and ability to rest at a shrine while doing Co-Op, large movesets and skill trees, and a really detailed character creator that doesn't exclusively fart out potato heads attached to grotesque clay figurines, Nioh 2 beats Dark Souls 3 in almost every way. As someone who frequently disconnects from the internet on consoles, I especially appreciate that unlike Dark Souls 3, which basically crashes to the main menu upon disconnect, Nioh 2 just turns off any current online shenanigans and displays a notification, and lets you reconnect at a shrine with the press of a button without breaking the flow of gameplay too much.

[@emerystheimmortal417]

Genuine question: to those who found Nioh 1 hard, what was it that you found difficult? i played the game years ago now and never knew how hard others found it.

[@jengaaaaa]

Most enemies one-shot/two-shot you while you have to hit even the weakest enemies up to 7 times. Especially the dlc bosses are basically unfair difficult. Especially since I was underleveled for more than 70 levels even after completing all the side missions.

[@XonixDerps]

to be fair nioh started getting updates that nerfs a lot of spirit builds people used, so what people assumed was easy because of an op build pretty much became pointless. As for normal builds if you didnt use magic/skills or learned the idea of switching stances mid fight I can see how some monsters later on would be hell

[@Sweet7Montana]

@@XonixDerps really? I jumped back on Nioh after those nerfs and they were still pretty solid. In my experience their "complete the whole map with 1 spirit summon" style just got nerfed, but the build itself when you had your spirit gauge up was still pretty solid. Isn't that a good thing?

[@XonixDerps]

@@Sweet7Montana oh no it is, jsut thats what I meant by those who used that style of played thinking the games hard after - because you know.. you gotta learn how to use the moves now and stance switching. Though I do watch this one guy who said in the later difficulties where everything can one shot you it still is much of a try and build for a oneshot style. :c

[@arkansasrazorback6087]

I still need to play the DLC for Nioh 1. I bought it half price months ago and haven't had time to try it yet.

[@Lionlovesunity]

Dude play it it’s amazing

[@pf3305]

I am ready for this, put a ton of hours into the first one and it will definitely be the same for this too. Nioh is the best thing to happen for Team Ninja, all due respect to Ninja Gaiden

[@EpsiIonEagle]

Nioh is great but it doesn't compare to Ninja Gaiden. Nioh is a Souls Clone

[@pf3305]

I disagree about the souls clone part and that it doesn’t compare to Ninja Gaiden: -Yea the whole stamina bar and side items thing was there, I’ll give you that HOWEVER... -Dark Souls did not, I repeat, did NOT have the combat system Nioh had which was way more fast paced: you were given a means of maintaining your ki through pulses which maintained the flow of battle, Bloodborne came closer to that than Dark Souls ever did. Ninja Gaiden came the closest because it thrived in the combat department for sure. -Nioh, unlike Souls gave you the option for ranged attacks, yea they both had the magic options and all that but Nioh went deeper with that. -Armor sets, weapons and guardian spirits shared a connection. Anyone who play the tinker in Nioh knows this as perks came with exploring what you can do with weapons and armor. They had a purpose to suit whatever play style and wasn’t just for fashion - I can’t say Souls did that, I can’t... the crafting in Nioh was just better for me, only problem for most was managing your inventory -Nioh used actual creatures and yokai from folklore and followed their descriptions to the T. Plus it wasn’t hard to get the historical parts right though with some embellishment, and even so they were able to achieve that Kuniyoshi Utagawa ukiyo type feel that I was surprised they were able to accomplish. So the history and folklore definitely set Nioh apart from Dark Souls as Souls was a more imaginative, hell even creative to its credit. But Nioh being able to adapt the woodblock style storytelling was something different. God Of War and The Witcher were the last two that did the folklore thing and really did justice. -The fact that you have to hone your skills with each weapon or discipline in Nioh also set it apart from Souls (I am talking familiarity and skill points) -Dark Souls operated on an interconnected world where Nioh did not, so that’s another difference between the two. Whatever side your opinion is on, that’s you. Nioh’s story was more straightforward for better or worse, I know its storyline was more sensible than Ninja Gaiden(as much as I love NG, that storyline was all over the place - the arch rivalries with Genshin, Doku and Regent of the mask were strongpoints) -Nioh also had a set trajectory where Souls had a bunch -Bosses were more in line with what Nioh was about: quick reflexes, defense/dodging, hell they even countered ranged and close approaches for the most part I mean, get at me if you disagree but I see the differences to know Nioh and Souls are not the same at the end of the day. And as good as the 1st 2 ninja gaidens were, I still say Nioh is Team Ninja’s best but still even Nioh and Ninja Gaiden share between each other

It seems to me like Nioh 2 is gonna have a mix of Nioh 1 music and new Nioh 2 music, just like we're gonna have the enemy types of Nioh 1 and new Nioh 2 enemy types, all to help with the variety problem. If you're a new player to the series, you won't notice this, but if you've played Nioh 1, you will definitely notice this.

[@Zer0_Ph34r]

Nathan, I can't believe you played through that whole demo using a single stance. The combat of Nioh is based around using the different stances! One of the first abilities you unlock is gaining extra Ki and attack power by switching stances during a ki pulse. Plus mixing stances lets you do some really interesting stuff. High stance does the most damage, but slows you down and causes your dodge to be much slower; however, you can stay in low stance to move around, switch to high for an attack or two, then switch back to low to get out of the way. On top of that, several enemies are weak to specific stances, so switching which one you use can drastically improve your odds. Well done on your game play, but I want to see you really master the mechanics and show people what can be achieved in these games.

[@PlayStationAccess]

Yeah you're right, but it's tricky! There's a lot to remember in terms of mechanics, and the new combat elements too. I wanted to get through and see as much of the level as possible so I went super basic...

I'm so ready for March. Are there pre-order bonuses for this one?

[@tatienouorest3358]

Is this game in "chapter" forms like nioh 1 or does it have a hub world. The chapters of nioh 1 are the main reason I dropped it

[@Lionlovesunity]

Tatienou orest Same as Nioh. The map is updated but it’s still based on levels. Man you should go back to Nioh it’s an incredible game. It deserves your time. Most games have levels. Look at any Mario or Doom 2016. Nioh 2 looks even better. In every way. ❤️🦁🙏👍

[@TheGameGambit]

I'm hoping this game is good, can't stand the flashy colors in combat too noisy

[@mosesyang4222]

For the love of f*cking god if you're gonna make it like Nioh 1 please, please create a mechanism for f*cking smithing text drops, either a charm or a payment system. It's lit every f*cking bodys complaint...you can farm a single person for 20hours & not get the smithing drop. Smh

[@narcspector]

Yeah I need this game... But I'm worried about the proximity of release to FF7REMAKE....that's April now right?

[@planetxaudio1699]

April 10th. Nioh releases March 13th. Seems like it should be enough time.

[@brandtreppond2167]

What is this? Oh it's the next game I MUST own.

Brandt Reppond same ❤️🦁

[@radekrydzewski8474]

Dang.Epic!

[@flamuralaj3302]

The weekly updates that Koei Tecmo/TeamNINJA are giving us before launch is really helpful to make the wait easier.

[@ToriKo_]

I feel like I’m torn because I liked Nioh, and it’s gameplay loop of ki recovery, as well as the extra skill tree. Then I played Sekiro, and loved the deflect mechanic mixed with the stealth, and the gameplay loop that brought. And now Nioh 2 looks much the same as the first. I keep wanting to deflect as it seems way more interesting gameplay wise. Is there a sell other then what’s in this video?

[@lupefiasco653]

You're loss on missing out on this Masterpiece. Doom 2 is the equivalent of Nioh 2 and Dark souls 2..in terms of the kind of sequel it will be. Except souls 2 was the worst of the souls series this will be a Masterpiece

[@ToriKo_]

WarriYahTruth haha, I have the exact same dilemma with Doom 2 lol

[@colinclement2752]

I always thought Nioh was harder then dark souls but easier then Sekiro

[@koyomi_ya]

it all depends on your experience with these kind of games

[@joesheridan9451]

I'm playing the first nioh atm after playing all the from soft games and id say so far it's harder. Most of the time in a fair way like running out of ki a lot, but also there is a lot of bulshit in this game that you wouldn't necessarily get in triple a polished games like souls etc

[@afghanp4tan]

We need a Sekiro 2

Looks good and all but it just looks like an expansion to Nioh

[@houndofuladh587]

This game looks amazing. But like the Soul's,Bloodborne and Sekiro game's I'll never play them. My heart couldn't take the stress

[@tedillagami5687]

You are missing out. I was afraid of trying these games too but I played bloodborne this summer and I loved it. Now I badly want to play all the others😂

[@wakkjobbwizard]

Yeah you are really missing out. I highly recommend trying them, you might not like it but at least try it. Some things are not going to be for everyone but soulslike games are so satisfying and they are very enjoyable. Not to mention that the soulslike genre has been blowing up recently! Last year there were probably at least 5 soulslike games that were released, which is largely improved. The main 3 developers of soulslike games (so far as I can tell) are FromSoftware, Team Ninja, and Deck13. There are also a number of indie soulslike games that have come out such as Blasphemous, Salt and Sanctuary, and Death’s Gambit. Honestly I can’t wait to see what the soulslike genre has to offer in the future.

[@wakkjobbwizard]

I HAVE THE DOCUMENT that’s an interesting story. I’m just trying to enjoy gaming while I’m young because I know I won’t have time when I’m older.

Just do co-op my dude. I think Nioh 2 is going to be even more co-op friendly that Nioh 1.

[@christophersebastiao7501]

@@tedillagami5687 I recommend Sekiro. That feeling of clashing swords with another Ninja and hearing that "clang" from your Katana and theirs, is awesome.

[@tanyadavies265]

Nioh 1 was one of the best games iv ever played and found it a challenge yet I'll be waiting till i can pick up Nioh 2 when its on offer as I'm in no rush to paying full game price even through its definitely worth paying full price for it as u do get game play value if ur one of the players that enjoys platinum the game.

The only thing i didnt like is the new backstab type move for the insta kill i just couldnt get it down.

[@Lionlovesunity]

phillip hanna You can only do it if the enemy doesn’t see you. It’s for sneaking only I think

[@shyhhorng1956]

I wish it had a simpler loot system like Dark Souls.

[@rbgilbert11]

Nah, no way, I think that's what sets it apart from Souls formula is the subtle loot grind. Should let Souls be Souls and Nioh be Nioh. Don't want every game to have the exact same mechanics.

[@rashonburnett6473]

Shyh Horng the loot system of Nioh mainly adds replayability and I personally think it’s awesome. But I’m a Nioh fan. It’s cool because the game has a luck stat and if you get your luck up high enough you can get really good drops. The loot system of Dark Souls isn’t bad. But Nioh is designed vastly different because of the mission structure. Things in Nioh are much faster and easier to get to. It could be a grind to get the weapons or armor you want but you can go to the specific section you have the most chance of getting the stuff from and increase your luck and get possibly something even better than you originally planned.

[@悪臭-p9p]

Couldn't stand the combat system of the first one, the OCD level of attention to your stamina bar (to get an instant stamina refill) was the most annoying thing to me. Lacks the heavy feel you get from From Soft games, but I wish the devs the best. Just wasn't for me.

[@harlannguyen4048]

Did you know that if you look at your character after you attack, blue energy will appear around him? If you do a ki pulse when they form a ring, you get a full ki refill.

[@悪臭-p9p]

@@harlannguyen4048 oooh wow I didn't notice that, but I happen to be completely color blind so i have to heavily alter the contrast on a lot of games. Maybe that's why I couldn't get the feel.

[@harlannguyen4048]

@@悪臭-p9p If you have trouble seeing it, I would recommend practicing until you do a successful ki pulse just by timing it.

[@aleaallee]

What type of dark souls is this?

[@koyomi_ya]

the good type

[@EldenLord.]

I just hope they dont add 1254877 new difficulties with each patch/dlc and add them all from the beginning so you can farm all the way up there without having to play the game over and over again like they did it in the first game with each DLC. They added a new difficulty each time and made your entire equipment you farmed for days or even months worthless in an instant. I didnt even bother playinge DLC 2 and 3 because of that.

Far from clunky and is fundamentally different from Sekiro.

[@pandassudsnshine4125]

The animation is clunky. Sekiro is on another level. Sekiro is a masterpiece. As a sekiro fan I don’t see nothing touching it. Waiting for ghost of Tsushima which is most likely better than nioh series.
