It's great, as long as you know the most basic shit - it's possible to change stance, don't stand in front of the boss when it's doing a charge attack - this video will make you feel like some kind of brain genius.

[@MariaIsabellaZNN]

Well so far it does as I am doing a LOT better against regular enemies. DSP doesn't even always lock on when it's beneficial, tries to run around enemies instead of using dodge, pulls a lot more enmies than he can handle - and their agro range is kinda really small.. and of course, the classic.. zero stamina management which in Nioh seems even more punishing than Dark Souls.. Can't wait to see how often Oniryu or whatever its name is kicks his ass.

[@crozraven]

train ki recovery & weapon combos. It's arguably the most essential part of Nioh techniques. don't treat this game like a souls-borne games with its conserving stamina meta. You can play aggressive in this game while still have a tons of ki/stamina because of ki recovery & combos. I recommend xlhgladiator channel for a more detailed advanced techniques. this guy is a master & I definitely learned a lot from his videos.

I know right and I thought I was bad using mostly low stance regular attacks and mid stance reg attacks with the odd high stance attacks ( I like to play the quick sort of characters in rpgs) with dual swords or kusarigama. but unlike him i'm actually decent at the game.

[@FinalMessenger13]

Hello! I can see why most of the critique towards his playstyle and behavior is valid. But after reading and hearing complaints about he never switching his stances and doing his monotouns combo, I am seriously interested in the art of switching those stances properly and skillfully. I played the game myself, did the DLC and very much optional content. And what I did was sticking to one stance, too, switching here and there to low or high to see, if I can get an advantage for a (for me) difficult boss or boss-like enemy. I, too, uploaded my content to KZbin. After a while, some viewers complained that I was doing the same again and again during combat. So I tried to change stanced, doing fancy combos and so on. But the game taught me that either the enemies are too weak so that switching stances was doing nothing special. Or enemies are so tough, that the combat (at least for me) consisted of getting one or two quick hits in before the enemy can get his/her attacks in. During those fights I did just not see any possibility for fancy combos or something else aside from going into the fight with low stance because that allowing to get quicker away from the enemy compared to high or middle stance. Bottom line: I really don't want do discredit your comment. I am just curious about how to get away from the monotonous playstyle that DSP shows and I got used to, because I saw very few very beneficial aspects. PS.: I am sorry for my bad English, but I can't do better :/

[@worldpower78432]

1st: you can guard as long as you have stamina. Even if you just got hit you can guard the next attack. So his complaints about being stunlocked are wrong. 2nd: you have to select the crafting material before doing it. Its hard to see with his facecam but I'm pretty sure his purple material was never being used cause hes an idiot. 3rd: the game is an RPG. leveling in dark souls is helpful but its designed around more mechanics and enemy behavior's. Nioh is far more stat based. Being underleveled can be a major problem. He just whines cause hes bad in general. 4th: all the major attacks from bosses are telegraphed. Usually with sound. Like you can hear a noise during the big water blob boss before he does the big beam. 5th: stances can hello dramatically. Its extra agrevating because mid stance enhances blocking and yet he never blocks. He should have been using low stance since he likes to poke and run so much. 6th: you can sell any and all gear to the shrine and you get exp and more importantly elixirs from it. The game literally cuts out grinding for healing by rewarding you for being a kleptomaniac and looting everything. He never learned that even into the DLC. idiot. 7th. Magic and ninjitsu are amazing. Even if your not doing a build for either there are skills that you can still take to help. There's literally a ninja skill that when you die, you just come back. He could have gotten this but of course he doesn't bother to do any reading so he never found it. 8th: this game is very much like Diablo in the sense that you only get to the meat of the game once you beat the story. You unlock new tiers of gear and even new mechanics like leveling up guarding spirits. He could have done this to help with the DLC as its expected you continued to play the game a bit if your playing extra content like DLC. final: Phil is an idiot who needs to stick with neopets or club penguin mobile.

I know kappa from japanese lore since I was 8-9 year olds and this guy said kappa come from twitch really??? The more I watch the more I hate myself that keep support twitch(in others channel) to support someone like this guy Sighhhhhhhhhh

[@Omnicrom]

If it's any consolation DSP has been violently self-destructing for years. No matter how much support he gets DSP is someone who actively burns bridges and makes decisions that make things worse for himself. Donations, Subscribers, and Patreon can't stop DSP from being DSP, and until he realizes that things aren't going to ever improve for him.

30:20 "A guy showed up out of nowhere; so fucking lame!" Loading screen " A reckless warrior falls to an easy death. Be wary of your surroundings." It's almost like the game is trying to communicate with Phil because of how bad he is.

[@PocokPresents]

The game should have toss him a dollar. The only way to communicate with him.

[@theunholyarcher9403]

*FINALLY A COMPLETE NIOH TIHYDP* I'VE BEEN WAITING A YEAR FOR THIS. The only other TIHYDP cut out a huge portion of his playthrough. Nioh was my favorite game of 2017, and I enjoy watching TIHYDP of games I've beaten.

[@jacobcowley6934]

Roy Bright i was worse on my first playthrough and died like 800 times but like 600 were from the first half after that I got better and I recently did another playthrough and only died like 50 times

[@RoyBright]

@@jacobcowley6934 at least you learned buddy and did not blame the game hahaha - I died so many times before I got to grips with the game and learned the best mechanics - looking foward to Nioh 2 :)

[@jacobcowley6934]

Roy Bright I’m looking forward to nioh 2 as well man I got to play the alpha and anyway on my first playthrough for the first half I was very ignorant did blame the game sometimes but not on Phil’s level and now the only boss in the game I’d still consider to be badly designed is the stupid centipede boss

[@HandsomeAl]

This is probably my favorite TIHYDP overall. The editing alone ensures Phil is nearly tolerable to listen to, but all the other edits (especially the slaps) really keep it entertaining.

[@PocokPresents]

Thanks. Means a lot.

[@Khujop]

Oh man, I was waiting for a full tihydp since I had a taste of a much shorter one previously. Thanks for the amazing work.

[@limawhiskey7451]

If DSP actually made it to DLC 2, Yukimura would have made him quit as well for sure

[@loneshinobi2682]

I was thinking the same thing. Yukimura is bar none my favorite human boss in Nioh 1 and I know for all the time I spent learning his fight and how he behaves Phil would have been out of his depth. Yukimura is far beyond Phil’s “one stance only” playstyle

[@ACloudWithoutAir]

God I miss the Alpha Demo difficulty, they chased you everywhere.

[@PocokPresents]

I highly suggest lookin up "TIHYDP ""your favourite games"" " or just any game. You wont regret it!

[@inunekomenta]

I wonder which I would die first from; taking a shot whenever he says "this is stupid", taking a shot every time he says "insta-kill", or, taking a shot every time he says the word "hitbox".

[@downfromthereeefters]

Definitely the first one

[@UnknownJudgment]

I just find it amazing that he actually thinks he did well in this game, yet there's enough material for a 3+ hour long video densely packed with his failures.

[@Manglet762]

3 hours of failure isn't bad by itself considering how long this game is, it's WHAT he's failing at: failing at understanding so many basic mechanics and calling the game bullshit because of it.

[@SuperPeterok]

I love how he bitched through out his playthrough of Nioh and cursed Team Ninja for everything but after he moved on to Bloodborne he just kept praising how awesome Nioh and Team Ninja were lol

[@jmar1732]

i dunno why but i found the fact that he goes "four hits" and throws up three finders kinda funny

[@TheShortbread123]

*fingers, everyone can make simple mistakes sometimes

[@cauliflowerconnoisseur2710]

i remember someone asking him to do a redemption run of Nioh and he whined that he "did really good" in it and wouldn't do it. Watching this we can determine that was a fucking lie.

[@PocokPresents]

Watching his mouth moving should have been the first clue he is lying.

[@JustforKikX]

I never really understood JUST how bad Phil was until I played this. I JUST finished fighting the ninja toad tonight with the same load-out, and killed him in less than a minute. Chucked a sloth talisman/defense down talisman at him and used Enko. This game is as much about skill in gameplay as it is item management/knowing match-ups. And seeing as Dave is from the lily pad, you'd think a giant toad would be easy for him.

[@pyrysaarinen4954]

Wow! This Nioh walktrough is a real TIHYDP pearl. Really glad to see full version of it!

[@komodo380]

Phil's snorts have been freed from this mortal gout!

[@sgtpepper91]

when you upgrade your moves a few times, changing the stance during a combo to finish someone off is super satisfying

[@Shellrulez]

Thanks for suffering through this for us Pocok, this has become one of my favorite TIHYDPS as a result. Kind of related, here are my tips for keeping your cool when this (or any game really) starts to find your gears. 1. Focus on your progress. How much health did you drop the boss by? Was your time better than your last attempt? Did you get a point closer to your goal than the last time you played? Think about where your accomplishments currently lie and reward yourself for each small step. 2. Disregard the Trolls. Let’s be real, not everyone is going to be willing to help you in your game. Sometimes you’re going to get a raw deal from humans or even NPCs. Whatever the situation, don’t acknowledge the negative behaviour. They are willing to give you nothing, so it’s 100% fair to give them nothing in return. If it’s possible to laugh it off (due to irony or a really seriously good set up or something else) then take that route. 3. Learn from your mistakes. Any possible lesson you can learn when you die/crash/game over whatever it is.think on it and use it to your advantage. It’s rare for a game to be naturally unfair. And they’ll generally give you an opportunity to learn. As your skill increases that margin to learn will shrink, but not go away completely. Just like in your day job and the small errors you learn from in everyday life, you can absolutely learn and turn them to your advantage. No, you can. YOU CAN DO IT! 4. Distract yourself for a short time. If you feel angry or upset, take a short break,play an easier game that you like, watch an upbeat or inspirational video, look at a bunch of images of things you like (I recommend puppies, super fancy foods, pictures with loads of bright primary colours, or some silly memes.) if it’s super dire frustration, try to find a video or article to give you advice on where you currently are in game, try to avoid spoilers. You might learn a new technique or ability to make things easier. Listen to some of your favorite music, or watch a cartoon/anime or a chunk of a show you like. If your an active soul, get some excercise or play a game with yourself. (I personally play Coins) 5. Believe in yourself. This is the easiest and simplest of the steps. Stop, take a few deep breaths, stand and stretch, and tell yourself you absolutely can do it. Because you can. It’s not out of your reach. If you feel you need practice than practice. If you want to try a new strategy, then do it! Use every tool you have at your disposal to help you succeed, and when you achieve your goal (and you will) don’t forget to congratulate yourself. You did it with your own skill. And that’s something to be proud of! You absolute champion you! THINGS TO AVOID WHEN YOU ARE UPSET Getting angry just makes things worse. Rage has a habit of escalating. And it’s entirely possible you might break something or hurt yourself, just wind down dude. You can do it. A break won’t kill you. It might even help. When your anger is gone, pick up and play again. Don’t resort to eating food as a decellerant. It will just make things way worse. Drink water, it’s better for you, and won’t go to your ass. Work it into your routine. If you fail, have a long draught. If you succeed, have a short sip. Yes, water. Not soda. Water dood. Save the eating for your mealtimes. Don’t Attack your surroundings. Frustration can build until you want to punch something/bite controllers, or worse, put down anything you can potentially damage, count to three, then inhale, count to three than exhale. Repeat until you feel better. Don’t be afraid to blame yourself for failure. It can help you to learn from your mistakes, and take in a better assessment of your result. Judge what went wrong and how you can avoid it, then move towards your inexorable success. As a side note don’t forget to congratulate yourself when you succeed. You are in control of the game dood, not vice versa. That’s all I got. Hopefully this advice can help you but don’t be afraid to do things at your own pace. My techniques may not work as well for you, but hopefully they can serve as the building stone for your own techniques. Stay healthy and salt free my doods.

[@PocokPresents]

Thanks. Great stuff.

[@oomsou5018]

I keep coming back to watch this every time I try to beat Nioh. (This is my second attempt to beat the game, long story short haven’t played it in ages decided to restart I wasn’t even half way through now I’m here,) Anyway I keep having this on in the background to snap me back into reality when I start getting frustrated. I do honestly find Nioh absolutely unforgiving early on. Like i find it harder than dark souls early on and I ain’t changing my stance on that, but whenever I start blaming the game (and yes I have done so and even cried from getting my ass handed to me by a boss soo many times and dying when the boss was one hit away) I just gotta remember. Don’t be like this man. I never wanna be Phil. He’s a good wake up call to help humble a person if they get pissed off at games. So yeah good TIHYDP.

[@PocokPresents]

Early game very brutal. I had multiple restarts cause I couldnt beat vampire chick boss. It gets a bit easier later. Dont be like DSP!

[@oomsou5018]

Pocok I beat that Vampire chick today after crying because I wiffed by a centimeter and died at the very last hit. Afterwards I made it to the end of the next level which is the one I remember not having much trouble on. I think the furthest I made it last time was the poison cave. I remember coming back after a few months and was like “how the hell do I even do this?” Said fuck it went back and tried to maybe optimize my build. Little did I know my older version grinded more and shaved off the edges a bit. The game is still more punishing early on than dark souls. But yeah I can tell it will get easier but like dark souls only I didn’t feel like Dark Souls resented my existence while Nioh’s enemies just feel malicious. Not like malicious towards the character more like hating the player and they effortlessly grab you and push you over and just slice through all your health in 2 hits.
