10 things you need to NIOH
PC Master Race clever
You're hired.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
gameranx 😂
gameranx lol
Fun Fact: This game was announced before Dark souls and was always stuck in development hell.
And I am the biggest lover of Dark Souls and have played everything, finished everything all the way up to new game plusses. And only now I started playing Nioh since a week. O my god. I love this game equally as much as Dark souls! Some aspects more, some aspects less. But it's so good. Im almost starting to believe that any kind of Dark souls like game with the same or higher quality and presentation, unrelated to whatever theme, that it's a game totally meant for me.
Ptolemy336VV i sort of feel the same way but I like the stories- real and fictional behind the game.
@@Ptolemy336VV Have you played Sekiro yet? (:
@@TheGoldDragon100 not yet! I'm on vacation actually. How is it? Is it going to make me as happy as Nioh?
@@Ptolemy336VV I want to know the same thing about Sekiro :)
There is a backstab, you learn it in the Ninja skill tree.
Is this serious or a troll?
xXKongregateXx have you played the game?
He's not lying though you can only use the backstab when you haven't been detected and cannot use it while in combat
yes as long as you are undetected and locked on you can perform a backstab. unlike darksouls where you could land it at any point during combat. I believe this mechanic was only in the 3rd beta
wow unlockable ky pulse, to perform them while dodging and now unlockable backstab!!, this gets better and better.
"The (heavy/slow) high stance is my pick"
"If there's a choice between heavy/slow attacks, or weak/fast attacks, I always go with the faster attacks"
wat
Strai exactly
The high stance isn’t necessarily show for attacks. For the kurisigama (sickle/chain) the high stance is slow to block if you are already attacking, and rolling is slow but attacks are very fast
You got em... I got confused too
He's a gaming journalist from one of the major websites. They're not expected to actually play or understand the games they talk about.
Xbox/PC gamers will say its a dark souls clone and it sucks
Ps4 players will enjoy it like dark souls
Deathbywii Im a PC player. The game looks good, hopefully we get a port sometime.
I'm an xbone guy and I'm suffering just as much as I did with Bloodborne
Deathbywii or Or OR
People who think that it's a Dark Souls clone will say that it's a Dark Souls clone
If it is, who gives a fuck? Dark souls is great, and we need more of them!
I will enjoy this dark souls clone that sucks because it could look better in PC. I got a PC and PS4 :D.
the "Mimic" in Nioh is a Tanuki, a Racoondog Youkai, they like to trick people or play games with them, hence the "Simon Says" game it want to play with you, also if you blatantly disregard the Tanuki enough times and just fight it it will drop the Frustration Gesture, guess it is getting a little frustrated by you trying to kill it when it only want to play.
Im Japaneese and believe me, in the original story they have giant N U T S
@@alexk2352 yes it really makes you t HK only what the mimic has on its head
anyone else think the main character looks like geralt of rivia from the Witcher?
well compare to some aspect they not really that similiar but "white hairs, middle aged,used magic,fight human and monster" so yeah that's Geralt counter part lol
Exactly what I thought when I started playing nioh lol.
Yep
Hahaha my brother said the same thing
Same here
To add on the looting subject, you also can transform your gear's appearance into something you like without giving up the stats. The looting system also takes inspiration from Diablo III and Borderlands, if that helps.
Andrew the new guy...holy shit, came back because of psn, you’re the only one I really know and 2 years ago you were the new guy😂😂
from what I played this game is harder and faster than the souls borne games. I love it.
Bloodborne is harder. You can get pretty op in nioh really easy.
@@mellar5864 I agree with you , Nioh is actually easy
@gah gah i disagree. Ds 1 and 3 are a breeze only ds 2 is comparable. And nioh 1 is easier than all of them.
i started off a project for school 6 hours ago by watching one of your videos. now im finished and greated with another great video. keep up the amazing work!
new guy the backstab is a move set u can buy :P
but you can't use it in battle only when you haven't been detected yet.
You can, they have to be out of stamina. works from the front and on the ground.
So much of this^
no you first complete way of the ninja novice in the dojo and then buy the ability
There's also the quick stamina recovery that can happen during combat and has to be timed just right
you can backstab in Nioh it's one of the skills you can unlock in the ninjitsu part
So hyped for this game! I loved Onimusha back in the day and I recently became a fan of the souls series so this is going to be amazing!
Also I'm happy that they're able to infuse new weapon stats into a weapon you're fond of and it sounds like there's transmog so #fashionsouls will be a thing! Wahhhh can it be Tuesday already!
There is a ng+ with the twilight missions that happen after fully beating an area and bosses. Giving new enemies, new weapons, higher dmg output, higher health, better overall loot
"High stance is my pick. But then again in any game I play if there's a choice for a character with heavier slower attacks or weaker faster attacks, I always go with the faster attacks." Do you know wtf you're talking....?
LOL.
Yeah that confused me. I am pretty sure he meant low-stance. Total FUBAR mouth moment. He lost all souls and dropped humanity at this point of the video. Leaving reply comments will regain them though.
Karson I agree I was like..." Did he just totally contradict himself there"
the lack of "the backstab" will make the fighting more "pacey and fluent", since no pause for long animation.
*I like it*
Pro tip for NiOH: Some Yokai have weak points (Some the horns, eyes, etc...) hit the spot multiple times may destroy it and allow for additional damage boost, cause target to be stun for longer combo strings, or deplete their stamina which will give larger enemies hit-stun and knock back for a short time. This was apparent through Alpha, Beta, and Last Demo. So be mindful to assess your target to exploit any vulnerabilities.
This really is a great vid u guys.
I completed bloodborne a while ago and was up for a new challenge so i bought nioh.
I really love the gameplay and similarities the game has with bloodborne and dark souls.
Hope u guys keep up the good work.
I miss the Onimusha games... :C
hopefully Nioh can fill my heart
so im not the only one huh :D living weapons are practically the onimusha weapon shape
Ooooh so that's how the chests work in Nioh. I opened the one in last chance demo and got my ass handed to me. I was wondering why he was bowing - screw the respect bro, let's throw hands.
great informative video,
I didnt know about the gesturing the mimics,
learning is cool.
The Tanuki chests (mimic chests) will give you a gesture if you do the correct response or if you fight it and win. You get an "overjoyed" gesture if you mimic correctly, and a "frustrated" gesture if you don't, but win the fight.
Fun drinking game: Drink everytime he says "Dark Souls".
@Frank Tenpenny drink every timer you die in Nioh? Lol
@@eldudereno204 if I would do that I would die in real life too
"The game doesn't really start till you beat it." I've never heard that before.
ThEg001 Ayy I'm liking the berserk profile pic
I've heard it a lot. Games like the Souls ones only shine on NG+ and that happens with Nioh.
I've been hearing it since dark souls 2.
@@manaf1479you definitely played Elden Ring using that BERSERK great sword
There is no real NG+ but there is the twilight missions. Each missions has a harder mode , which unlocks after you beat it normally. Twilight missions have completely different enemies and different enemy placements and much better loot to make up for that. But keep in mind you can still summon people like in dark souls to help you if a boss or something is really hard. But for some side missions you can't summon. But you can summon for every main and twilight mission .
That mimic bit really makes sense and is actually kinda fun. He mimicked you, so you ought to mimic him... and receive a reward! How cool is that!?
Do I need to tell how much I'm excited for this game?!!
6:47 awwwwww that dog is so cuto I WANT IT!
Great breakdown in this vid, it was very clear and I learned a lot thanks.
You forgot the most important thing to survive: Learn to Ki Pulse to quickly replenish stamina especially when near youkai territories because those areas deplete your stamina if you don't purify them with ki pulse.
I'm in lov with this game, it's obligatory to Samurai enthusiasts. I just miss games with normal, non fighting NPC's, like skyrim, where you can just enjoy the atmosphere and explore a market in broad day light. Anyway, this game is everything it promissed to be.
One of those "once in a lifetime" type of amazing game.
ok--need to know if i'm going crazy. At the end of the video, you talk about liking the high attack (slower and stronger) and your justification is you always like to play the fast character so it fits your play style. I assume you just misspoke, but wanted to make sure i wasn't missing something. good video.
2:16 considering it's mission based structure and the fact the Green items(the games top tier) don't become available until you beat the Final Boss, pretty sure it has a New Game+ mode.
According to Digital Foundry, #10 is wrong. Both the PS4 and Pro version have three modes. All three modes have a dynamic resolution.
It confused me too. I have PS4Pro and 4K LG TV and searched for this special modes and thought that I am doing something wrong with my console and TV settings.
You guys sound all the same to me. I have no idea who's talking.
Using the fast stance with the Kusarigama is one of the most oddly satisfying things you can do to a random, weak armored opponent. That chain and ball make extremely quick work of most opponents and even using the strong attacks most opponents go down so quickly!
There is a backstab you can unlock via the skill menu. You can only use it on unaware enemies, however.
I can't wait for this game. I'm not a huge Souls fan, but I'm starting to get into them with DS3. I've played both demos for Nioh so far and I've loved it so much
DewTheDrew I have, it's pretty good. I like its pace.
I've played (and struggled!) with all the Souls including Demons, and I have to say Bloodborne is my standout favourite, as good as the others are. The level design is perfect.
Hunter Parrish try Bloodborne if you haven't already lol
I played every souls game , except Demon's souls , and I don't care about this , getting For Honor without question.
Gabo LongQua thanks for the update
Problem I have: i am a father of three. My playing time is scarce... so I avoid games I have to get perfect at...
Mastering games like this is like having a second job.
It's worth your time... Maybe keep in your things to do for later. This game always stands the test of time
Tip: If you bow to a Nurikabe, it will bow back and disappear. You can try this out with any neutral npcs and see which gestures they respond to.
There is a backstab, but you have to unlock it as a skill. You also showed a fight vs a secret wall during the mimic bit but failed to mention that if you match the emotion of the wall there is a similar effect to the mimic emotes.
there is a back stab its a skill
It honestly looks really really good, I guess if it makes anyone get red ass, apply some Nioh-sporin
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Solid vid, good narration and content. COME ON Hes "not the new guy"!! Let him just be Andrew!
Surprised you didn't mention the ki pulse. It can be very important, especially against mobs.
Watching this after playstation gave this for free for November 2019.
It's so good tho
@@pewkapuw8943 yes, yes it is
@michael chapline just got to the last Boss and turned off the game... Will beat it tomorrow
And I played the second one first and then played the first and they should be actually played in that order since Nioh 2 is basically a sequel to Nioh
Hey gameranx, are you gonna be playing nioh?
I smoked a hit of weed once, now I'm killed.
Xander Lander nice
Xander Lander nice
nice
nice
2 gameranx videos in one day, today's a good day!
The mimic chest thing is a really nice evolution of the fabled chest. I like this idea
There is no invincibility when dodging, which makes it much more difficult than Souls.
This game makes me want to buy a ps4
Thanks a lot for this video, I have been waiting to know the length of the game.
Background music sounds cool gameranx nice videos
It's more like
Onimusha than a dark soul though.....
More of a mix of the both.
Blahto Blahtoto you're confusing setting for game mechanics lol. this is really nothing like onimusha. it's clearly inspired by Souls.
YourPalHDee Thats where you are wrong this is massivly more like onimusha than dark souls
You can't just say that with absolutely no argument lol.
Onimusha is a fixed perspective story game where you gather VERY specific weapons and level them up a very specific way.
Nioh and Dark Souls use the same perspective, they have almost identical combat features in terms of the attack/dodge/defend tradeoff, Onimusha is similar to Resident Evil in it's pace, puzzle solving and perspective . In what way is it massively more like Onimusha other than the thematic similarities?
Doesn't Nioh use like the exact same concepts. even down to the Bonfire thing?
No
I've beaten ds2, ds3 and bloodborne, and played demons's souls and ds1 but I'm so scared to play this game for some reason. But I'll buy it for sure
The game's combat is similar to bloodborne (fast paced) just with different mechanics, and if it makes you feel better you can block the majority of attacks.
yeah, i think it's just like bloodborne but this time blocking is useful
Juliana if you can get through the souls games it shouldn't take long for us to adapt to the rules and mechanics of Nioh, remember you will die but it's a learning experience so there's no need to fear ☺
The loot drops are by the bundles. Something I love!
BTW, the protagonist is based on a real historical figure, ship builder/navigator/astrologist William Adams. He, at age 36, became the first northern European to reach Japan in the 17th century and became one of the few elites to become a samurai who was a foreigner. He was very powerful becoming the shogun's, Tokugawa Ieyasu, personal favorite and held a very high position in the courts. leyasu loved Adams so much he prohibited him from returning to England to see his wife and two kids. Instead, Adams married a samurai's daughter and bore two kids, living in Japan until his death at the age of 55.
@@swallowedinthesea11 Uggghhh my history nerd boner!
Im a soul's fan through and through. I completed niho 2 this week I'm going to start Niho 1 for the first time in a blind playthrough. Can't wait very excited. 2022. Woot!
Actually you can backstab on stealth. If you deplete the enemy's ki bar, you can also do a grapple attack, which has the same concept of backstabbing after stunning on Bloodborne.
10 things you need to know before you pirate nioh
I am having a powerful Geralt vibe from Hioh's protagonist.
there's a back stab in this game, but you have to unlock it as one of the move sets you can unlock in this game. what I don't like about it you have to unlock the same move set multiple times if you wanna use the same move in a different stance. speaking of stances, the high stance focuses on attack power and breaking but lacks defenses like blocking and dodging due to high ki cost. mid stance focus on blocking but you can't get behind enemies easily. low stance focus on dodging so you can fight group of enemies or you want to get behind enemies easily
The mimic part was wrong, you still get a gesture even if you don't copy his gesture ; you get the 'frustrated' gesture . If you get it correct you get the 'overjoyed' gesture
Damn, Last time I was this early my girlfriend wasn't proud..
Hector Montemayor clever
wahw
Awesome game thanks for the awesome review.... but to bad its an PS4 exclusive 😭
not spoiling anything but there is a backstab mechanic down in the ninja tree of skills (you do have to sneak up on the enemy so i doubt itll be mid combat usable) but yeah unlocked it when they were available :D
one thing i find intriguing about koei tecmo games is their ability to integrate concepts and mechanics from other developers into their own games yet still managing to keep it different from the original game it was based off of
Should I buy a PS4 specifically for Nioh or not....?
I've not played the first one...
Is it worth buying a PS4 just for those games though?
Ok, thank you for the advice. I like your profile image by the way. (I'm a huge star wars fan)
Yo Pearson, i made a list of games i always wanted to play... There are more than 10 titles, maybe you want to check them out. As a PC Gamer, there are only exclusives in this list, that's why i bought a ps4 slim last week: Last of us Remastered, Rachet and Clank, Bloodborn, Final Fantasy 15, Uncharted 1-3 Remastered, Uncharted 4 and the upcoming ones: Last of us 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Crash Bandicoot Remastered, Nioh, Gravity Rush 2, Horizon Zero Dawn(My favorite one), Nier Automata, etc... But these are the best ones in my opinion!
Johnny Mandir Thank you for your advise, I feel I relate to your situation quite a lot. I'll probably get a PS4 in a few months once Nioh and Horizon Zero Dawn come out.
Nioh was available on PS Plus, but I’m not enjoying it due to the difficulty. I own Dark Souls Remastered, but I haven’t played it since the day I purchased it due to how hard it is. These games are 100% not for me
George M i got it and yeah iits reeaaly hard but when you defeat that boss/complete a level it feels so good
I downloaded it and been having fun so far , Dark Souls/bloodborne always sucked to me but this game got my attention easily
The spirit Anjim is after is from an Irish or Celtic folklore legends.. We even still use her name as a Gaelic word which means freedom..
Ah, you forgot to mention the Revenant system in place in Nioh. If you die in your game, your spirit of your character stays in that area for other players around the world, in which they can fight you or you can their ghosts/spirits to obtain their armor/gear. Helps players get better gear from other players in a way.
it is so bad when people who didn't play it say it is like dark souls, the game has different mechanics, can u kill people with bow and arrow in dark souls? do u have multiple stances? do u get ganged up upon in dark souls? the whole feel of the game is different, if u played ninja gaiden black then u will understand. It is true is has a vibe from dark souls, but is that bad? so far we never had a decent game that challenged that mighty game......anw, i hope people try the game before labeling it, it is fresh and different and very very very fun to play :)
I fucking love the game where you can have so many different class setup.
Yes you can kill people with a bow and arrow in dark souls, You have 2 stances in dark souls, You also get ganged up on dark souls quite a bit to, But I do agree with the point your trying to make.
Rami Merehbi are you fucking stupid
well, actually i am, i was stupid enough to trust ur mom when she said she was on the pill...........and yet, here u are :p my biggest, dumbest mistake :'(
yes, but head shots with arrows are not that damaging....also ganging up is not that common and usually 2 or three monsters.....bottom line, they feel different. and thanks for understanding my point.
The thing I want to know is what the fuck is Nioh?
Xander Lander "Nioh refers to the guardians of Buddha, the statues you might find outside a temple. The are said to encapsulate the wrath of Buddha I think (could be wrong). The idea is that William comes to be a powerful demon killer worthy of a title Nioh."
Just saw this on Reddit
Do you mean the game or the title itself?
Jordan Smith Both.
that's a damn good definition and a name for a demon slayer.
***** Well Nacho above me did a far better job for the title than I would have, so Ill just describe the game. Nioh is a Japanese Action RPG that plays like the result of Dark Souls, Onimusha and Ninja Gaiden got together and had steamy hot sex together with Nioh being the result of their coupling. All three parents would look on their child with pride. As said in the video, the is hard as hell, with a deep combat system that rewards many different playstyles. The story is set in Japan around 1600 a few months before the battle of Sekigahara during the Japanese Civil War. You play as a Western Sailor who arrives in Japan after a shipwreck and through some events im not sure of, become a retainer to Tokugawa Ieyasu. You seem to act as his go to demon slayer considering what you do in the game.
There IS a backstab in Nioh contrary to what this video says. It is a single point ability in the Ninjutsu tree and was present in at least the Final Chance Trial, for certain.
so happy you guys are showing this game love. I think i might buy it i liked both the alpha and beta specially playing with other people when it gets wayyyyy to hard. We all need a little help sometimes lol
The hardest game mode I have ever played is Batman Arkham knight NEW GAME PLUS
Bat Man lol
In my opinion Dark souls difficulty level is extremely over rated considering almost every game has a very high difficulty level that you can use which in my experience is just as hard or harder than dark souls. Let me know what the hardest game (on max difficulty) you've ever played is.
Eckztra Rain Contra 3 : Alien Warfare, Konami code doesn't even help with that game, then there is Silver suffer but it's impossible because if disadvantage you are at game breaking wise.
I know I misspelled Surfer, but it might as well be suffer because of my experience with that game.
***** I've never played it but I've heard that it's a brutal game that's difficult to beat even with the Konami code.
I had never heard of it prior to buying on the Wii U (thinking it's on a kid friendly console, how hard could it be). I recommend everyone to try it once, because it definitely increases your awareness in other games. After beat the first level I felt more accomplished than when I completed Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting in 7 star difficulty.
Dark souls' difficulty doesn't feel cheap, unlike "very high" difficulties on most games, which is basically less health for you and more for the enemy or w/e. The game feels fair and when you die you know why and what you did wrong, which is important for a challenging and rewarding game like this.
There is a backstab you can buy in the weapon skill tree, it unlocks the backstab for all weapons at least when I was playing the beta it was there
Heard amazing things about this game's sequel so I'm about to start this first then move on to Nioh 2. Hope it's as good as I've heard, given that I'm coming off nearly finishing my first run of Sekiro.
LOVE ME JAKE!!!!!!
Love ya
hey he just declared his love for me. Don't try to take my man guys
I don't always comment but when I do, I get no likes
STK true
there will be a NG+ mode. but I forgot what its called. But heard of some of things it changes and it makes the game a lot more challenging. Like a level where they take the mini-boss and make him the normal mob you fight against.
There is a backstabbing move but it is called a sneak attack. You can do it when you are not noticed. But never mind that because you can FRONT-stab people when they are low stamina
Biggest lie of the century.......the "combat is similar to dark souls"
another dark souls clone
TruScottishGuy Yh it's a clone but ds3 was one of the biggest disappointments of 2016 so I think anything at this point will do better than ds3
Cosmic Turner I don't think so dude, have you seen what Activision put out?
how about NMS?
Darksouls is Demon's Souls clone. Also, this is more like ninja gaiden and onimusha than Darksouls.
Xywx shhh...they're not aware other games like this existed before dark souls 3 and they all jumped on the band wagon.
dlepi40 hello? From made demon souls
Just started this game and I find the combat satisfying, difficult and fun. Probably do 2 after.
I never tried the backstab in the beta but the way the combat plays out I bet its pretty hard to pull off if you don't sneak up on enemies (thank god).
y does he look like geralt of rivia but w blue eyes. how lame can this company get
Composure How do I say this, same looks =/= lame, can't you just think of both as separate individuals
Composure yeah my thoughts as well
Composure Dipshit.
The first picture/footage of William Adams for Nioh came at E3 2005. That's 2 years before Witcher 1 came out, and Geralt looked nothing like he does now in Witcher 3 then. He looked like a frog with a mane.
Nioh's protagonist was already rocking the long white hair when he was introduced. And let's not cite source material, because the Witcher book series is modern; William Adams is a true historical figure lol, even if his hair isn't white.
Rioplats I don't believe any word u just typed bruh
Awesome job new guy. You got me stoked to play.
@gameranx At the end you mentioned you like the high stance, but then said when given an option of heavier-slow or weaker-fast attacks, you always pick the faster attacks. Bit confusing.
As an 80s kid it's nice that games are coming back to being a challenge.
I'd say the mid & low stances are my favorite. mostly mid cause it makes it easier to fight multiple enemies
In number 3 it is true that there are no backstabs in Nioh but there is something call "Fatal blow" I think that was the name. What you have to do is drop the enemy stamina to 0 and then they will get stunned if you lock the camera the circle will turn red in that moment press triangle and you will do a fatal blow.
There is a back stab skill; just need to unlock it from playing the third Dojo mission after you beat the ship's boss and putting a skill point in the Ninja tab.
There is a Backstab, but you have to unlock it, and does not work on every enemy, at least the animation does not trigger in every enemy.
you forgot to say, that unlike DS the enemies in Nioh also has a stamina bar, meaning that if you are smart and skilled you can make them deplete their stamina, and then move in for a devastating blow. that i feel, is a cool mechanic and makes the game a bit more "fair" and realistic.
It's like Dark Souls + Onimusha. Loved that classic :D
I played the alpha and beta of this game and loved it. It was a lot of fun and I really like the Japanese lore. Some of the enemies and bosses were a huge pain in the ass but I did like that there are different paths to take on lvl in case you don't want to fight a enemy who kept kicking ur ass you could maybe find another path around him.
Spot on review-ish. Good work.
Just getting this game today really excited to play
