仁王 Nioh LCT: Yokai Must Die!

[@XLHGladiator]

Now that things settled down a bit (did it? *looks around" ._.) Phew... you guys caught me off guard! heh *scratches head" ^^' Thank you ALL! Sorry that i won't be responding to each one individually but i thank every single one of you for the support, whether by rating, sharing, commenting or subscribing! I'm used to 4, 5, 10 comments/subs max, per day, sometimes none lol... But at this point, i really gave up on my email XD In this video i tried to show at least 70% of the moves you can unlock. Time didn't permit for more but i'm glad you enjoyed what my humble mind came up with ^^' *Some of you asked about my thoughts*: I love the final product. I think they've worked really hard to keep what we like while trying their best to balance some other things that looked overpowered. It's an insanely tough task, and i really appreciate what Team Ninja has done. Can't wait to see other weapons and skills.

[@Robotlien]

Is this game too easy for you? (I hope you got that reference)

[@Chaos2Frozen]

Apologies, a lot of us were probably using your videos to show how much more to Nioh there is than just the surface Souls elements. While there are others who put out videos doing well with the combat mechanics, your videos are the closest to showing off the full potential of this game. When people play Nioh they see a Souls Clone, but when people see you play Nioh that illusion is destroyed XD

[@XLHGladiator]

@robotlien I.. uh... certainly didn't *sweats" ^^' @Chaos2Frozen It's because of you guys this video became popular. Thank you kindly ^_^

[@Robotlien]

It's from a funny Dark Souls 2 animation, it's called Happy Souls and you'll find it immediately. It's great I recommend watching this :D

[@suprqt]

Is there an article or something you can direct me to that teaches things about the game such as basic things to know and advanced stuff (stuff like games such as these don't tell you)? It would be greatly appreciated. :)

[@PSP615]

I am so happy with your choice of sengoku basara music, makes this video 100x better and fits perfectly with the story. for those interested, the beginning song "Osaka - Winter siege" is from sengoku basara 3 :)

[@goldentrout4811]

As always you're doing it, bringing the best of Nioh gameplay. You're the most skilled i've seen so far. Vergil would be proud. Glad you're enjoying it!

[@xBIOHaZZaRdOuSx]

Your videos inspired me to play the game man. Level 46 and it's only a demo. I've been helping people out all day and night

[@adrian_digital]

ive been waiting for this all weekend and boy it didnt dissapoint 👏

[@neptunusequester]

You need to incorporate taunts into this m8.

[@levelupthworld]

Yours is the only playthrough I'm going to watch. It's the smoothest.

[@crozraven]

Superb gameplay video, "Yokai May Cry" watching this! LOL

[@crozraven]

Also, I really hope you make a combos tutorial videos for the full game

[@jeremy123577]

love your nioh gameplay as well as the others you do keep up the fantastic work

[@carlosvega4735]

I'll have this link ready, so that I can use it whenever someone says NiOh is just like DarkSouls.

[@zaystro2915]

I'm so salty the last chance trial is over. I wanna play moreeeeee

[@DeCoR18]

Been waiting all weekend for this :D

[@AoVis]

Best commercial for this game. Now i know i will buy it someday.

[@jeromechillin5515]

Teach me your ways senpai.

[@sirmister1827]

nioh developers should pay you for this video

[@normalguycap]

You chose the perfect music.

[@EvilHouseOfRyuG]

Yo Team Ninja is making good games again!?

[@amo1704]

What other games did they make? Nioh reminds me a lot of onimusha.

[@tyrekparrish2246]

Jomez j the dead or alive series as well as the ninja gaiden series. All the games were good. It the story and weapon direction of ninja gaiden 3 left a very bad taste in a lot a fans mouths however the rerelease of NJ4:razors edge helped a bit as the weapons returned (aside from the dragon blade) but it was too little to late however they do have an impressive repertoire under their belts

[@xhillydilly]

is gladiator covering his status of effect? I was using something this am and I couldn't see it on mine, i see him using fire and either poison or something brown on his and I see no indicator telling us what the extra dmg is he's doing is from ie 3:03

[@lukejacques2333]

For the first 9 seconds of this video there are roughly 17 different buttons used to take out the first NPC, just putting this video into perspective against people who are not this good or don't know what the fuck is going on.

[@nicklugo4960]

How are you so skilled?!!?!

[@ranzo-]

simple

[@ranzo-]

he git gud lol

[@Grimlo9ic]

These flux and stance switch combos crazy! You got a subscriber in me. Lol.

[@neuralhubspaxxor6519]

Some have begun naming Nier Automata as the best hack and slash game, but to me, this is the winner. :D

[@atomaraffe]

They clearly don't know better... Oo

[@jakeinator21]

Nier Automata was hugely disappointing to me from the way everybody was talking about it. Boring combat, boring levels, and the overall style is a painful mashup of way too many types of games.

[@dildoballins8545]

While I do agree that Automata's combat was quite shallow Nioh's isn't any better, in fact both of them face the problem of attempting to be RPGs when their combat is suited to an actual action game Anyways NieR's selling point was the story, Platinum games have not been concentrating on combat enough for some reason

[@dylansmith2205]

you sir get a sub for teaching me these nice combos i haven't thought of very nice

[@Kuroiryukami]

simply put, if you streamed this game, I'd watch it man hahaha this is absolutely insane

[@XLHGladiator]

I don't stream nor play online. But i'll try to upload as much as i can ^^'

[@Kuroiryukami]

That's all good man. It's incredible how well you play. When the game releases, would you be willing to do build videos where we can see how you spec your character? And what skills you thibk are the best?

[@ovenc5110]

XLHGladiator Yeah, I'd love some guides and crazy shit like this in general when the game comes out. This stuff is just cool to me.

[@XLHGladiator]

I have some extra clips i might upload to my second channel later (XLHGladiator2). Not a guide but i have recorded a very casual run. Personally, i don't think it's impressive since it takes some time to unlock your skills but if you guys want it, i can upload it there ^^'

[@BlankLI]

2:11 how did the angels from Bayonetta get into this game?

[@TheJackal917]

Hyperbadassitude at its best! Thanks and keep cutting!!!

[@QisTopTier]

Good shit, can't wait for release :D

[@gumanbrunocosta7218]

please, make a full walkthrough!

[@RagingStormX]

This is how you play Nioh!! Master Ninja Style!

[@Nikolaiko2]

I still didn't understand why many demons (especeally big red ones) at the start of the fight lost all stamina after 1-2 strikes and fall. It is because I strike from the back, or any other reasons...

[@BakaShiroyasha]

You broke their horns, for enemy with red crystal on its back, attack its with fire will get it overloaded and self-destruct after several hits

[@Nikolaiko2]

Thanks

[@Blearcord]

I was waiting for this!

[@Stiggy771]

Nioh tutorial when the final game comes out. please. This is so Epic

[@JinTakahashiTensai]

Incredible!

[@GhostCarnival]

good shit as usual, hope to see more upon release

[@xhillydilly]

i think he's doing ki pulse a little too early btw. He's only getting a tiny portion back if any at all.

[@Z3R01d]

You sir, deserve my subscription

[@Killer7-]

Congrats on 40,000+ views and great video!! I was going to do a compilation video as well! But, waiting for the full game to do so!

[@XLHGladiator]

Thank you, and good luck!

[@idatesan4155]

Thanks for this great video !

[@hampusjonsson9307]

is that sengoku basara music i hear ? ☺

[@drake3934]

damn I thought i was decent but looking at this, I feel like a beginner. This is pure skill I got to practice once the game comes up

[@niespeludo]

Nice gameplay as always, this one looks close to your alpha videos rather than the beta. Reddit is gushing over this video and are quickly linking to your part videos as well. I'm going to have to buy a ps4 just for this and Bloodborne.

[@XLHGladiator]

Thank you all for sharing ^^

[@twakilon]

I fell in love with the spear now.

[@PST07]

You are so pro! Could you suggest what skills to learn first and how to build character?

[@XLHGladiator]

Watch the extra footage "casual run" on XLHGladiator2.

[@jeromechillin5515]

The Witcher Gaiden : Wild Souls

[@LinkCafe82]

待ってました！

[@soplet6121]

You are just too good and making anything look easy.

[@shanemartin1705]

poor demons........... they never had a chance

[@RetroNutcase]

Again, I ask you. TEACH ME. SENPAI.

[@PrivilegedWhiteRabbit]

0:32 You killed him with a kick to the balls? Savage.

[@DantheJokeMan]

Ugh damnit! i missed the demo. The september one was so fun...what a shame,

[@Choniez23]

i thought i was good until i watched this lmao definitely got my sub

[@Sh1do_0]

Nice music choice. Greetings from Osaka!

[@incneet]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Do something with the bow, XLHGladiator.

[@5pacemanGaming]

Great combos! I wonder whether it would be possible to add a couple of strikes with the axe into some combos

[@XLHGladiator]

It is. See my rapid slash punish? That can be replaced with some heavy hammer/axe strikes.

[@leviathanistaken]

Make a combo vid pls

[@MatheusViBrasil]

YOU SIR ARE... GODLIKE!

[@Evallyo]

dude, you must do full walkthrough! please ^_^

[@XLHGladiator]

I'll try.. i'll try ^^'

[@pimpshiza]

Love this game so much.

[@ボーイレディー]

超かっこいい！ NICE PLAY

[@DracobusterFlamingTiger]

meanwhile im getting rekt by regular enemies on the first level. got any tips for a fellow "samurai"

[@mediocre_gaming_skills]

dracobuster flamingtiger dont get hit and stick em with the pointy end. but jokes aside. patience is key in the beginning. learn enemy patterns and stamina management and take it slow.

[@Widmouno]

dodge and take your time. Don't think you are going to kill everything with low level and bad equipement.

[@mediocre_gaming_skills]

dracobuster flamingtiger also keep track of your equipweight. stay under 70% to get faster stamina recovery.

[@billburr5241]

stay in low stance all the time, you can spam X to dash away ridiculously fast. Helped me a lot as a noob, after you get that down start incorporating midstance into your gameplay and don't forget to get used to using ki burst

[@DracobusterFlamingTiger]

I beat the demo by watching XLH's nioh battles, so im good now

[@trellsf415.bsky.social]

I would love to know your build. I am pretty fast handed also but haven't played a souls type game since Souls 1. I played Last Chance and I am back in love. Awesome video man, of those 43k views I have watched this at least 10 times.

[@trellsf415.bsky.social]

Also whats that move that you do when he holds his blade above his head and does a burst? Seems so useful, its amazing, make that 11+ views. Can't wait for release, wanted to get souls 3 but its full price, i can wait for NIOH

[@XLHGladiator]

Thank you for the support ^^' Extra footage on my second channel (XLHGladiator2) named "casual run" might answer that for you.

[@bobge2620]

You did nice job and skills

[@buiminh92]

how can you unleash the flurry with dual swords? I have been playing the demo but never get to do that

[@maskedhobo]

Well, I really suck at this game. Thanks for showing me how bad I am. :) Nice video, keep up the great work. I have a lot of work ahead of me if I want to get decent at this game.

[@soraloke6552]

That Sengoku Basara 3. What song is it?

[@Gundamsuit]

although i was able to beat all of this last chance beta i think this is a different game than what i was playing.

[@Darealpokgai]

have been waiting for you to upload. how u like it this time, now dodge ki pulse is applied to every stance lol

[@XLHGladiator]

They've balanced between the alpha and the beta. Looking great so far.

[@spencernguyen768]

Can I see your stats for dual swords? with kusangui w.e spell :O

[@MrInuhanyou123]

Dude OH. Your amazing!

[@tyrionlannister5834]

The mechanics and RPG systems in Nioh are super deep and more complex than souls imo.

[@Biohazard163]

holy fuck you are skilled. very impressive!

[@athroughzdude]

So hype to play this today!

[@hardknoxboii6670]

what's the music

[@farmerfren]

Love your vids! What did you think about the changes from the previous demos and is it for the better?

[@XLHGladiator]

I still like it ^^

[@TheMegaSackman]

...But how?

[@Taikuken]

great video. I hope this game has a master diff setting cause this A.I. is looking horrendous

[@ravecosmo175]

Great work as usual ;D

[@stadiumhendrix]

XLH, if you're reading this post, what is your opinion on strength weapons from the demo? I would love to see some of your high level gameplay featuring the axe or hammers in the demo. I had a strength stamina build for the demo so that I could try for some big swings with an axe and rock some of the cooler armor without being too slow... but to be honest it felt pretty boring and after watching you showcase the other weapons, they just seem awful now haha. You make every weapon look so stylish (no doubt from your background in DMC). I'll be staying tuned to your youtube for future tips with this awesome game. After watching you play, I have to say it's just not at all a souls like game as much as a DMC game just missing the style meter. Can't believe I forgot about them after so many hours of my youth devoted to DMC 3... thank you for your video!

[@XLHGladiator]

Thank you for your comment ^^ I don't use the axe/hammer. But i think you could still implement some critical strikes for punishing purposes. Remember, you can equip 2 weapons and go between them mid combat.

[@ToXiC9GaMeR]

Dude, you are a fucking GOD. I can never be this good even if i play the damn game for a year.

[@vbshinra]

man you make this look easy

[@MrZombat]

awesome stuff!

[@chaleefoo1]

this game is suppose to be like dark souls? I bought every every ds game hoping for combat mechanics like this. just impressive what a beast...

[@sergeyshabay6835]

It is heavily inspired by Souls games, but it has some cool unique features.

[@billburr5241]

this game has been in development longer than Demons Souls (The first souls game released in 2009)

[@Evil0Freeman]

It can be like Dark Souls, and you can play it like Dark Souls (like I did in Last Chance). However, after seeing this video... Do you want to? :P

[@sageky]

goddanm, what the PvP and pve gonna look like when other players fight with this lvl of skill?

[@R_got_a_name_change]

music?

[@Darealpokgai]

oh and whats the best way or skill to deplete enemy ki? right now all i do is kick. but sometimes when i fight any oni, some attack seem to deplete their ki faster and sometimes they just losr their ki all at once. any tips for that?

[@mediocre_gaming_skills]

Darealpokgai .MacauGamer big onis weakspot is their face. if you hit it you can deplete their ki completely.

[@PowerStunna]

I look forward to your playthrough of this game and Nier Automata too! :D

[@drunkenmumble]

Man, this is killer footage, I play this game so slow compared to your style, I'm almost always in heavy stance. What'd you think of the sickle and chain?

[@XLHGladiator]

Thanks! I love it, but they need to nerf the damage on the normal attacks a little bit ^^'

[@gagank478]

dude your freaking amazing at this game... i just started playing for the first when the trial came out! took me like 5 hours just to get use to the combat system.. lol PSN?

[@Toilet_Destroyer]

You'll be doing tips and tricks and technique guide right? cuz I would love to watch that

[@XLHGladiator]

It depends... let me see how deep this combat system can be.

[@albertovinicio123]

FANTASTIC!! :3

[@UnknownZealot77]

So... What do you think of the game now compared to the beta?

[@Unknownost]

Aren't you disappointed that the Kusarigama Launch Attack don't actually launch the enemy into the air. Looks like we all got trolled lol.

[@XLHGladiator]

I already gave up on that launch attack idea XD But even if it launches, it has a very long recovery and would never work. Well in any case, juggling is already completely removed. Now everyone will be blaming me for that lol ^^'

[@HassanAli-wo8bm]

you are a monster... your character should be a boss level. XD... but seriously if you stream this game, you know I'll be watching.

[@XLHGladiator]

No streaming but I'll be uploading... does that count? ^^'

[@HassanAli-wo8bm]

that's good enough I guess

[@LovelesslordGenesis]

Remember don't try at home unless you know what you doing like this OP SOB

[@jjleonie]

A guide from you will be great

[@NoRegret08]

XLHGladiator ...Do you block attacks ? Do you find blocking useful? Thanks !

[@XLHGladiator]

Of course, i never let go of block unless i wanted to regen stamina faster.

[@twelvedudes]

Can you please say your stats and level for this

[@XLHGladiator]

Trust me when i say... stats barely makes a difference. Even at level 1 you can still play the way you want. I do put some effort into my ki because i'm not a big fan of waiting, which gets me killed all the time ^^' So, first thing i upgrade is Spirit because it gives you 10 more ki, and that's great for a start. Also, if you upgrade it more (to lvl8 i think?) there is a sub feature for the wolf (living weapon) that enhances your ki recovery. I go for skill to enhance ki pulse and get as many skill points i can so i can unlock my moves. I keep my agility at "A" by wearing light weight stuff. That's about it.

[@jonathanrivera870]

now give $1 for each time he ki pulse... I'll be rich.

[@fakeigniz13]

what was your build? guessing heavy on the ki stat?

[@billburr5241]

No he is just really good at the ki burst, after every fucking hit he gets his stam back because of it

[@XLHGladiator]

Check out my answer to twelvedudes.

[@abdibelz]

Onimusha is back
