I played Wo Long on game pass and as soon as I beat it I reinstalled Nioh 2, and had a blast with that.

only when a mosquito lands on your balls is when you truly learn to solve problems without violence

Wo Long was a HUGE downgrade from Nioh let’s be real. I was so excited to play this game and I was only able to finish the main campaign. They had good ideas but implemented poorly. - Weapons are repetitive and looks and plays the same. 50 types of swords and Polearms, really? - We went from 3 stances with diverse movesets from each one and combinations to 5 light attacks and only 1 strong attack that doesn’t even change according to how you chain it plus two martial arts only that are random and can’t be changed. - Parry is fun but the entire game was heavily built around it which sucks, the game forces you to parry leaving blocking and dodging behind. - All the quality of life updates should have been in the game already. - Jumping was fun but beside platforming jump attacks are obsolete almost. - I play it more for the thirst of having something like Nioh and because I love Chinese martial arts and setting but every time I log in I can’t play more than 30min. It almost feel that they needed money quick for another project and decided to launch this unfinished knowing that Nioh fans would buy it without hesitation. The fact that they had EVERYTHING to make this game succeed and they pooped on it makes it even worse. Just unfortunate…

While i feel like there are quite a few flaws with wo long a lot of people are ignoring some of the great things about it - namely for me this is the first team ninja game where the human bosses didnt suck absolute dick - in fact in most cases they were better than the monster bosses Also i found exploration really fun to explore (while i also found nioh fun to explore it doesnt diminish wo longs great exploration) there r a few others but just wanted to say this as some people just think this game is terrible which just isnt true

Honestly I had lots of fun with the dlc and the new difficulty

I think the issue is This dlc is just more Wo long with no real improvements The Nioh 2 dlc areas were bad but the bosses were a big improvement(especially Tate Ebsohi and Yoshitsune) This dlc is more Wo long and that is it The bosses are basically carried by Dian Wei The first boss suffered the Wo long being half baked issue as his "phase 2" is just what the fight should have been from the start because he does have a fun moveset that you prob won't see until Phase 2 And the other is arguably worse than Zhang Rang(and I payed for this piece of crap) So you are paying 15 euro for like one great fight and a above average by Wo long standards mission(but it is also the same aesthetic we have seen like 7 times in Nioh) So basically If you just want more Wo long yeah you can get it If you are eh on it at all Unless you really like the look of Dian Wei Don't bother And this is from me someone who actually likes Wo long

I’m enjoying my fists in NG++

I'm having fun with my new spells and fists !

This game is nothing more than a cash grab to fund Rise of the Ronin. But even Ds3 was supposed to be a cash grab, and that turned out to be amazing.

4:35 i’m pretty sure that’s reusings Mezuki’s moves from Nioh 2 as well lol

Nothing else to this dlc though? They added a new weapon type. New spells. New game ++ with variations. A battle Royale mode. New gear sets. Not including all the quality of life improvements they've added for free with multiple patches.

I mean, it's Wo-Long; anyone honestly surprised the DLC sucks?

I don’t understand either especially with Nioh you had so much content it was crazy and well worth the price. What happened with Wo Long 🤷‍♂️👀👀

The problem with the bosses is the same as the big bosses in the main game, in that the way to win is that you have to wait for a critical, deflect it, make a couple of quick moves, then back off. for the most part with these bosses you always have to play passively. if you play aggressively, you pretty much always get punished. yes, you have new moves to learn, but you're only learning them so you can avoid them, and wait for the red light of a crit move to start. This makes boss fights wayyyy too long and with Dian Wei they made it even longer because you can stun him when he is in hyper mode. Not sure why you rated him so highly. Note: this makes the fights longer....not harder. they are just hoping you eventually make a mistake, which in a 20 minute fight is def a possibility because it becomes soooo boring. The actual souls games have a wide variety of tactics you can play with bosses....wo long has 1.

Funny thing is I mostly agree with you. However Im still having some fun with the game.

Are you going to play FF16? Making a boss ranking there would be difficult as all bosses are awesome

Correct me if im wrong but what ive seen from strangers of paradise and nioh is that the endgame content usually becomes alot after all 3 dlc have dropped i think everything people say abiut leaving this game is cap

This game feels like it was made BEFORE the nioh games.

as someone who had 1500+ hours in nioh 2 i knew this game wouldn't be any good after playing the demo, it just felt really unfinished and the combat was no where as good as nioh 2, i wish they just made nioh 3 instead of this sad sekiro ripoff with nioh elements

Good point. To me Wo Long was a risky venture by Team Ninja. They really tried to base the whole game around deflection but it's a singular mechanic that limits the rest of the combat. Sekiro was able to do this by varying bosses and focusing on the overall story and gameplay experience. These areas are not Team Ninja's strongpoints. Good effort by TN and I hope their next game will be great.

I actually enjoy every minute except the 2nd and 3rd boss fight we’re an pain and last side mission is super fun

Melee and weapon arts should have been more viable. Its hardly worth doing anything other than spamming spells. Also morale is just kinda trash but too late to scrap it at this point. Oh well we still have nioh

Nioh was peak Team Ninja

Feels like so much of this game is just missed potential. Played it twice. Performance issues, lack of enemy variety, weapon variety (imo) and a disappointing DLC. I was hoping I’d like this after being disappointed by stranger of paradise. But as someone who loves Nioh 1 &2, I hope Team Ninja strikes it out with their next title.

They just need to make nioh 3, strangers of paradise got better dlc 1 treatment. And that's without the new mobs. Nioh 2 was such an excellent game even with its looter flaw.

to be fair, wo long is made by team b of team ninja, they don't have experience in making tight action game like team a (team a are those guys who made ninja gaiden and nioh series), they have only developed dynasty warrior so far

Getting kind of sad. I got Wo Long because the Parry system similar to Sekiro interested me but, I don't know. Debating on getting the Season Pass for all DLC but the more I hear about it the less inclined I become.

Wu longs Biggest issue is its itemization , its boring , low 2,3% dmg increases here and there , you never feel satisfied looking through gear and building a cool character build , nioh 1 did it far better , nioh 2 was also heading in the lower dmg% Way which was sad although game was better

At the very least with the General of Heaven Illusion fight is that you can counter the summon spells with your own spells that counter that element. Still not a great fight tho

I went back to Nioh 2 after about 10 hours into this game. Such a shame, really. This game could've been so much better. Really hoping Rise Of The Ronin is good.

The point of the dlc is the content experience in ng++. All of the negative reviews I've seen about this are people who haven't done any of the ng++ content. Sorry you don't enjoy the game. I love it and think this game took all the best things of nioh2 and made a more polished game. Great video layout and audio though!

thank you saved me $15 on the season pass

A shame the dlc isn't great. I might still get it but only if it goes on sale along with the other dlc since I'm guessing there's gonna be more than one for Wo Long. Would love to see a ranking for Final Fantasy 16 bosses. Don't know if you've played those games but I think you would love the bosses in 16.

Wo long is a good game on the inside, it’s just not really finished. The combat is pretty fun, but that’s really it.

They didn't even fix the chance to get more than 4 & 3 tier gear and 6 tier isn't even that fells unless. Reinforcements go down too quick to be able destroy the 2 boss spawners. And absolutely hate the final boss

I blazed through the first dlc a couple weeks ago and I can barely distinguish any of it from the base game outside of the new enemy types, which was still very lacking. This game is a mixed bag for me because I think the combat and bosses are genuinely badass, but the story, enemy variety, level design, and the overall game structure was a huge letdown. Still a decent purchase, but the whole thing could’ve been so much better.

3:05 the recommended level is only low because your in the base game on crouching dragon… go to new game ++ on soaring dragon and then tell me what the recommended level is and how difficult it is

Well u do have to change the difficulty thats why u it was showing level 79 ur playing on lowest difficulty

And then they made it even worse with the final sub mission. An even more buffed and over powered version of the F tier boss from before. Without being super overleveled or using a crazy good cheese build, that boss was complete and utter dogshit. The least amount of fun I’ve ever had fighting a boss in a souls like game before.

sekiro itself has quite shorter playtime than other FromSoftware games for a reason

Yall crazy thos games slaps

Dk why they failed they had so much to go off and being team ninja should’ve been a good game but shts ass with the exception of Lu bu and Dian wei

Considering any more Resident Evil content? I really enjoyed your videos on it!

I gave up halfway through wo long. Nioh 2 was much better and I’m still playing the dlc. Still hyped for rise of ronin

This game really only suffers vecause people compare it to nioh.

cool but your subjective stance is worthy of tree decoration status for yourself

yeah martial arts skills need a massive boost as right now they lack a lot of power

A lot of people can't even beat the first boss and say it sucks🤣🤣git gud noobs

I think this game has the best combat design, but the bosses are so bad lmao including this dlx

Is there a level missing? Ive 9/10 and no mission to unlock

This is why team ninja can't compete fromsoftware, armored core 6 is gonna blows wo long out of the water in terms of best action game

Even Yatsu no Kami better than DLC GEnEral of Heaven. Split out intentionally can have multiple ways to counter but yet more suitable challenging than this living shite

I thought you died magicat

I brouhht it after hearing the bad reviews just because i love the game and want to see a sequel. I could never get into Nioh because of the insane difficulty. This game i loved as a lover of sekiro. But damn did they make some terrible game design decisions with missions, levelling and loot and story. I seriously dont know what crack pipe the devolpers are smoking to think this is good, its like theyve never played any other game before. Story writting team should be fired as well as the people who hired them

DLC was shit, needs new spells etc as Poison & Lightning spells are useless now, it needs a better drop rate for 6* armour & weapons as I'm sick of fighting that big ape non stop. I'm basically farming abit just to get those & then I'm done until the next installment of DLC. Ps that big white boss gets melted with fire.

Games es other than lui bu

such a wasted potential. the combat was amazing

If Wo Long was more like DS2, then maybe it would actually be good.

Wo long isn't a run off from nioh because nioh is it's own franchise, wo long is based off DYNASTY WARRIORS

Where is the ds2 content we crave?

Peak

I don't get ppl complain about enemies getting stale while they spam same buttons, same moves, same weapon in elden ring

This game was so garbage compared to nioh 2

They are too busy adding pronouns to the western version, while making a version without for the Saracens and Chinese!

i wish team ninja work on their map/art design more in future games because they know how to make a sick deep and fun combat system but lack the cool aesthetic ad level design is just to genric, this problem was always there even in ninja gaiden i wish we get a game with nioh 2 combat and darksoul/bloodborne like art direction and level design

No offense.. this game sucks!

But wo long better when lies of p....
