Lets take a look at Team Ninja's latest game that, sadly, insn't Nioh 3. It's instead something closer to Nioh .75. It's fine but Pliny had been hoping for better than fine. He'd been hping for Nioh 3.

Also to touch on Nioh 2's character design one of my favorite/worst is the Oboroguruma (Yokai in the form of the moving Ox cart) there usually very fast and very deadly plus to add to it's features, the giant face it has changes from joy to anger when you attack it I've never seen an enemy design in any game like this.

Wo Long has improved greatly with the DLC1 & 2 releases - as an avid Nioh/Nioh 2 fan, they are two different games. Parry mechanics change it completely. Truth is Nioh 2 is a Masterpiece. Wo Long is a different beast. Team Ninja is doing Wo Long justice though and once the final DLC comes out in Dec, it will be a very satisfying and lengthy journey in combat. All in all, someone who hasn't finished the Abyss/Underworld/Depths cannot fully appreciate Nioh 2 (my opinion of course). The content is there but too few reviewers don't spend enough time on it - they shouldn't be reviewing these types of games. I'm glad though we have these amazing gaming experiences.

I disagree about the first boss being bad design. I actually think he's good design. 1st phase - tougher human enemy, basic rules apply. It's testing if you have learned that aggression is best against human opponents, while respecting their "red" attacks. Teaches that some bosses can do two "red" attacks in a row. 2nd phase - tougher demon enemy. Big demons cannot be staggered, you must play by their rhythm. Tests that you have learned the deflect mechanic. Teaches that deflects can break parts of demons when countering "red" attacks, preventing them from using certain abilities. The problem is that the level leading up to him doesn't do enough to teach all of this and emphasize the deflect mechanic before the boss tests you on it. The demon tiger does, but he's off of the main path and many players might not fight it.

That's what I'm saying. Actually it's a GREAT designed boss. The issue is it's terrible design after that level. The level needed several enemies that demand parrying. I actually think he's one of the best bosses in the game but he's just at the end of a very bad tutorial level. Nioh and Nioh 2 have first levels that do a much better job. But yeah he's a great boss but the tutorial is awful. I might have misspoke if that's what i said

Currently playing through Nioh2 again. One thing i will say about the gear, while it has become better, i still think the randomness is Niohs weak point. In NG you can equip whatever you want and you'll be fine. Way of the strong is basically a trap, as the best you can do is just get past into the next NG+ as quickly as you can while wasting the least amount of time / ressources. As in the Way of the Demon, your gear from Way of the Strong becomes largely worthless as the now available sets are often just better. Way of the Wise brings new stuff again. Which is phenomenal, if not for the fact you have to grind dozens of hours to get one (1) set of equipment to where you want it. Let alone the hundreds of possible builds possible. Less rng or more targetted crafting options would have enabled a lot more build diversity to actually be enjoeyed instead of becoming a distant dream for most players. There is a reason so many people use cheat engine to "craft" gear. The asian approach to grind gaming is strong with this one and it is so weird to me that they would make a game that has tons of possibilities but then bar you from accessing it unless you quit your job and become a fulltime player.

1) Nioh 1 was unbalanced, I've got myself an unkillable build using living weapon and can kill most abyss 900+ bosses in just 1-2 attacks. 2) In Nioh 1, you can only have attack +55 -ish (familiarity 0) on the arms, and if you want +attack on the 4 other armors, you must inherit it from a +30, it can also be on 2 accessories, so 7 pieces in total. In Nioh 2, you can have that on 5 armor pieces + 2 accessories + picture scroll + 3 soul cores, so a total of 11 pieces. Because of that, the stats must be decreased of course, otherwise the game would be even more unbalanced. 3) If you reach Dream of the Demon (or Wise, forgot) in Nioh 2, you can actually temper the accessories. In Nioh 1, good luck finding the ideal accessories! 4) In Dream of the Nioh, you also get extra set effects when you have the full armor set. 5) In Nioh 1, it's impossible to have +luck and +attack on all armor pieces. In Nioh 2, it's actually possible to inherit all that using the red inherit symbol. 6) In Nioh 2, star effects are actually quite high stats, like throw weapon damage, and ... yes it's possible to inherit star effects too! Impossible in Nioh 1. 7) In Nioh 1, you can only have 1 mystical skill activated, for a weapon or onmyo/ninjitsu. In Nioh 2, it's possible to have both activated at the same time! So yes when you first start the game, you think the stats in Nioh 2 are crap, but once you reach way/dream of the Nioh, you understand that it's actually not the case at all.

With the exception of a few bosses, I was just about curb stomping most endgame bosses, yet Mezuki, Yatsu-no-Kami... Those bastards had me ready to put my fist through my monitor.

If a big third party studio puts something directly on game pass that's a pretty good sign they don't consider it one of their best games. Also just to let you know.

While nioh 2 is my second favourite game of all time I think you are being too harsh on wo long. What you need to remember is that wo long is ultimately a new game and a new IP and that is exactly the time to experiment with new stuff and bring in a different audience. And being a new Ip it obviously doesn't have as much budget as an established ip. The intention with wo long was clearly to simplify the gameplay as much as possible to appeal to an audience that prefers simplicity and getting into the action. And these are the people that mostly prefer wo long to nioh 2. Which isn't to say that team ninja are appealing too much to casuals, I mean check out lilaggy, he's one of the best sekiro players ever and really didn't like nioh 2 but actually played and is finishing wo long. The game has faults of its own in that regard because sometimes I feel its not simple enough. Such as having far too much loot for a game of this nature. Ultimately nioh is nioh and wo long is wo long. Which you will like more is dependent on your preferences and the success of either will only bring more players to both and future team ninja games.

I think it's kinda unfair to compare Wo Long to nioh 2, it is however fair to compare it to Nioh 1. Which between these 2 is better isn't as straight forward an answer and I'm sure if Wo Long would ever get a sequel, just like Nioh 2, it would build and deepen all of it's system and be a solid title, but Wo Long has seen such a negative reception that I highly doubt a sequel will ever see the light of day. It was fun for what it was, and now with 2 of it's DLC out, it gave us new enemies, new mechanics and so on' But even then it still falls a bit short, those extra enemies should have been in the base game and it still lacks in many areas that makes the game quite hard to enjoy a NG+ run, the power up from 4 to 5* just isn't good enough and I do not feel like getting to NG+++ to start having fun with custom builds and unique effects. Wo Long looks like a PS2 game with PS4 graphics. And parts of me loves it, but it could have been so much more.

Hadn't watched this before, because I only just started playing Wo Long last week. I agree that it's way easier, and I got that from the demo when it was first released. But something I think needs to be addressed is how the public responded to Nioh and Nioh 2. I am in the super small minority of people that has always felt like Nioh is easier than Dark Souls. I can count all the bosses I've beaten across 5 FromSoftware soulslikes (not counting Sekiro) without summoning in help. In both Nioh 1 + 2, I beat the base games and DLC solo from start to finish. Even more interesting is that I never took the stance system seriously. I'm too lazy for all that. I managed to beat both games in just mid stance. I always Nioh is easier, but everyone disagrees with me. I've heard Nioh described as "trying to pilot as yacht." But it never felt that way to me. Wo Long is incredibly easy by comparison to Nioh, and I think that happened because so many people who were/are serious FromSoftware fans found it so hard. So they dumbed it down to make it feel more accessible. And, as you showed, the reviews for Wo Long were very good. Meaning that Team Ninja understood what the people wanted compared to Nioh. It's absolutely not Nioh 3, and I was/am sad about that. But I think too many people struggled too much with Nioh for them to try to continue that system.

Some things are better done, defense, parry, dodging, control response, jumps, co-op, also, does someone else need to tell you how to fight an enemy? if you can parry parry there is no need to avoid but you can do both, if you can do both what suits you, this is no nursing game that will let you just parry everything or dodge, you can make decisions and adapt based on your playstyle and your enemies, oh but the game did not tell me, is because you came in destroying everything and did not pay attention, most reviewers are like that, they come to play thinking in their review without understanding the game, just another task, the camera is just normal, you can move it or you can as you said check out how to fight aerial attacks, final boss is done in that way so you can make mistakes when parrying, this people. difficulties may improve the game indeed, a harder mode for example or letting you play as the team would be great, being Guan Yu sounds awesome. Bosses are better in a few places, designs, their pace, how you interact with them etc. We need more weapon variety and combos indeed. Maybe its me, I could not stand Elden Ring, you are supposed to be able to go everywhere then you go and die against every enemy so you need to farm or play in the most slow possible way, or spam spells, I think this game is not a 9 it can be a lot better, but not sure about the extremely aggresive attack on it, the plot is also better, parry is not done with Y but B, do you really know what you are talking about? for example Cao Cao is multiple times with you and mentioned, so yeah, not sure I guess its taste after all, I feel strangers of paradise more like Nioh than Wo Long and there are some things I enjoy more in SoP like the plot, the speed, the parry system the perfect defense, Wo Long has better magic also, they are different but not mediocre, people worked hard and you can see it, it definitely could have been better. Team Ninja can do it better, a better story will help, less approach to the from software terrible designs, but players need to stop thinking if a game is good because you die a lot or not, oh but how many times did you die on animal crossing, you could get a real challenge in life, a game is not good if the enemy is infinitely stronger than you, take for example the Monk in Sekiro good pace, good moveset, good timing, that's a good boss, but you can say that Demon of Hatred is a better boss because you cannot see shit and you are hacking at his crouch for minutes, oh what a masterpiece well, no, that's the thing, that's why Owl and Ishin are better bosses.

Isshin is the best boss in games history. I liked Wo Long but you have to admit the combat isn't up to the standards of Nioh 2. I liked Elden Ring well enough but i found many bosses annoying and i don't like the open world map. Wo Long feels like a game I'll probably play a couple more times because the combat feels really good and fluid but i play Nioh 2 like twice a year every year. The stance switching, skills and Yokai abilities makes that combat system second to none. DMC 5 had a great system too but Nioh 2 is basically perfect.

Nioh 2 should have been SO much better reviewed. Even though the story isn't great and some of the sound is a bit wonky, the world is absolutely beautiful and...THAT COMBAT! It's so much evolved from regular Soulslike's that it's not really even fair to call it one anymore. No other game in the genre is so rewarding to ultra-aggressive play. Most Fromsoft games are best played defensively, but if you try those tactic's with Nioh you're really gonna have a bad time lol. Every enemy will PUNISH defensive play. It's so much fun to absolutely wreck an entire level! I really can't praise this game enough.

Doesn't help the lack of combat options compared to Nioh 2 is quite a giant issue. I was planning on reserving my full judgement for it though until all the DLC (just like with Nioh 1 and 2's additional DLC stories) might add more stuff to it, hopefully it's GOOD stuff...

It's not a problem when you're fighting the big monsters which is probably why that's when the game feels great. But any normal human sized boss is a mess. That final boss is insane. Surely they realized you literally can't see him because the camera is behind the player?

Dude, finally someone said it! I also played Wo Long after Nioh and deleted it after 2 hours. Pathetic, one-cell combat, level design straight from the 2000s, 20 fps... No stances, no active skills, soul cores, no fucking thing! Of course, I agree that in Nioh they overcomplicated some mechanics. For example, ki pulse... I would remove it. It's a mechanic that complicates things just to complicate them. But what they did in Wo Long is not a simplification, it's castration. And I didn't understand how people could praise this stub, this obviously unfinished game, until I read the comments under this video. After that, absolutely everything became clear to me.

I get it and we all have opinions but one thing idk if you’re going to talk about, is Nioh is only on PlayStation so so many didn’t get to play Nioh or 2. I barely got a PlayStation so yeah I get how it’s basically the same but different too. I like both but so far Nioh is better. Don’t get me wrong there’s some thing about Wo Long I like better. I also don’t want my games the same like some will complain about with Dark Souls and which one they like better. I like them all bc they’re different but the same. I’m About to play the second. Hell I’m still waiting on Team Ninja to come out with NG4 that will never happen. Ninja Gaiden black on master ninja difficulty is still one of my fav game play to this day. Yeah a $10 copy I got delivered from GameStop that game still plays well today. Playing NG Black and NG2 on master Ninja is still some of the hardest game play today and since all these hardcore gamers don’t talk about it makes me feel like a lot of gamers didn’t get to master ninja difficulty. I agree with on the skill tree in wo long. It’s horrible and you can get so many skills you can lose. Nioh is way better even on the first game. If they only improve things on the second game makes me think all I’ll do on first game is beat it then go to 2 bc I’m lvl 120 or so and at the end boss. I’m mixed with you on putting what I want into a weapon. I agree makes it easier but it does ruin the over n over grinding. I guess it depends what n how bad RNG is. I definitely don’t agree on the martial art attacks. I refused to use some so I would definitely grind for those attacks being what I want After listening to you at the end some of the problem is you yourself 🤣 no diss but seriously just bc you won’t do something doesn’t mean all games should make that for you. I mean do you but don’t knock something bc you don’t do a certain thing and refuse to change. Honestly I know you won’t care bc I’m getting I look at everything else can be but myself vibe I heavily agree with you and n taking it easy on devs. At least these games we play aren’t near as bad as some out that I’ve refused to buy most day one games. I wait for a sale and maybe I’ll play it honestly. Games in general are so much worse today that my catalog of games are filled with games I paid $10-$20 for bc I wasn’t gonna take a chance at $70 and still might not play them

Nioh 2 is like 9-9.5 out of 10 for me. The only things i don't like about it are the very beginning of the game before you get all your cool skills and necessary abilities and the absurdly low drop rates for skills, crafting recipes and the like. It just gets better the more you play it. WoLong is more like a 7 out of 10. A baffling lack of QoL convenience for menus, storage and restock at launch, mediocre magic, far more simplified weapons. Still garbage drop rates. The very beginning of the game is perhaps better, but only having 2 non-swappable martial arts per weapon rather than the dozens of skills in Nioh 2 is disappointing.

It is tragic that Team Ninja would never pull itself out of this place of mediocrity. They never cared for anything that isn't combat, never even tried until Rise of the Ronin. Their games demand perfection from their players yet the company itself is a posterchild of a, well, child that does what it wants. Strangers of Paradise is so bad on so many levels that it felt like an april fool's joke. Even Rise of the Ronin, without a doubt a big endeavour, fun to play and very pretty visually, feels stale after 20h. On top of that, it has a combat system that imo still needs work. I say that because I like what the company does. If only they weren't so lazy...

I agree Wo Long is severely lacking in almost every way. However, the complex button sequences in Nioh 2 were too much for me. I simply could not play the game, and most other dyslexic people probably have the same issue. I understand normal people don't have a problem, but some of us just absolutely cannot memorize button press sequences. It's like playing a learn-to-type game at the same time as playing Sekiro, feels awful and is impossible to play as the developers intended. Because of this, I could not play Nioh 2. I was at least able to play Wo Long, so that is an improvement in my book.

I'm not one of those "all game journalists are toxic" types but in this case I think they really are the cause for the issues here (likewise with why Elden Ring makes Sekiro 2 less likely to happen or at least be deprioritized... hell Sekiro didn't even get DLC and there was so much hinted at in the story that could have been built upon)

Nioh 2's base combat is a bit more deep than Wo Long w the different stances, but I think the Yokai abilities were kinda tacked on and unfinished vs the magic in Wo Long (magic and martial arts on are a pretty low cooldown so they are fun to use). Nioh 2 also looks a lot better. I think the level design is pretty good in Wo Long and I enjoy the boss variety. I think the combat in Nioh 2 is too jank and sometimes too unbalanced and hard, like the giant snake boss took me forever in Nioh 2 and I'm usually good at this stuff, it just felt cheap (my experience was the same as the Dunkey video and I watched his after I gave up, I wasn't biased by his vid going in). I think a more polished Nioh 2 in terms of difficulty would be the better game due to it's enemy variety and graphics and stances, but Wo Long just feels way more fun to play and manageable despite the ugly visuals.

Yokai abilities were not tacked on they were great and and fully fleshed out as intended. Each one had its own utility and strength. Some did big damage but left you open and cost a lot of anima. Others where short and fast just designed to be a cancel on some of your high commitment moves or to keep combos going. Others did great ki damage, some were elemental, some where great situationally such as enki getting you in the air which avoided any low hit boxes… Such a great system. 3. If you struggled with the snake then no offence but you never got good at the game. Compared to some of the dlc bosses and even regular enemies on higher difficulties he’s a joke

I like how you start each sentence with "I think". Fair enough. I think that yokai abilities have 1000% more flavor than a coloured particles shooting out of your hands. They also have way more effective variety. Tacked on? What does that even mean? You can use Yokai abilities often if you choose the right ones for your style of play. In my opinion, if you are bad at Nioh2 combat, you will think it is too jank (whatever that means). The fact that the giant snake boss is an example proves that fact. I don't have problems with that boss, because I have a strategy for my weapon with him. If I overextend, I die, but just yesterday I discovered a direction to a dodge against a certain move that will make that fight even simpler in the future. The Dunkey video is a comedy. He could do better if he wanted to, I am sure, but the game's style is not for everyone, and he has other videos to make. As a comedy piece I think that his review of Nioh2 was great. I, too, bashed Elden Ring bosses a lot for their neverending combos etc. I understand. I was not interested in slogging through the boring open world to sometimes experience fun, meaningful combat enough to learn the ins and outs of boss movements. Others have learned enough to find openings in boss patterns that I never thought possible. In conclusion, it is totally fair for you to feel that Wololong is more fun to play. Those are your feelings afterall!

In a game where there are repeated levels, mediocre levels, low enemy variety and builds being drastically reduced, it quickly becomes dull because the combat's so simplistic. No game has ever given me the same rush that Nioh 2 did when I mastered the fist's Beyond Infinity and absolutely clowned on everything with it. I could deal with the diablo loot system because every weapon had high skill ceilings and it felt satisfying to master each and every one of them.

To the enemy variaty comparison to souls games. Yes, Nioh 2 has prolly far less, but they have a lot more depth. Most Souls enemies have like 2-3 different moves/attack strings and that's it. Nothing wrong with it and they make the area feel unique, but it's still an unfair comparison. Great video! You pretty much mentioned everything that is an issue for me with Wo Long. Especially the performance on PC. Loading times being like 10-15 seconds between maps??? Nioh 2 has a loading time of maybe 1-3 seconds. This year seems to be the year, where japanese companies realize how much money they make with PC games in the west, but don't have the budget to optimize their games for PC, but instead deliver a poor PC port without ever fixing it. Wo Long, Wild Hearts, ... I'd much rather have games release on consoles first like Nioh 2 did and then there's a PC version 9 months later.

I agree with what you said but this is obviously a new IP. It isn’t going to be like the Nioh games and I like that team ninja tried something different with the Chinese setting it’s cool.

calling stranger of paradise combat boring is an absolutely insane take and simply proves you didn't play it for more than an hour

I think a lot of people that think wo long is better than nioh 2 probably haven't spent enough time on nioh 2 to understand it or see what it has to offer.

Agreed. If you've spent any time with Nioh 2 you realize how much depth there really is. You can beat that game without using any of the weapon skills but once you really dig in that whole system takes the combat to another level

Honestly, I played through and beat both Wo Long and Nioh, but here's the thing. I mainly prefer Wo Long for one simple thing: The early game in Wo Long didn't make me wish the game had an easy mode. And not to mention that it's just kinda ridiculous and illogical that a bandit who's hardly equipped with much in the way of armor and something just sharp enough to cut and be called a sword can make mincemeat of a decked out half demon with protective armor and works as a demon hunter by trade in just a few swings.

The only faults of Nioh and nioh2 was the abysmal endgame. It is better in 2 but still is awful. Also I hate the difficulty spike and how it was done..(not the fact that it is difficult) They also did a bad job with the nerfs. Instead of bringing other builds up they destroyed the good once completely. Making a good build was stupid enough. I like wo long just as much.

The way I look at it, nioh 2 fans are upset that wo long isn't as complicated or bloated.nioh 2 feels like it has an identity crisis. Good game once you get a handle of what it wants you to do. It has the same issue most jrpgs. Wo long and nioh 2 are both 3/5 star games

This game is better than nioh 100%. Theres an actual block mechanic for starters. I havent played nioh 2 but im playing nioh r.n. and wo long is way better in every way.

I think Nioh 2 is better but tbh I agree with you, Lu bu is an amazing boss. I hate most of the bosses in Nioh 2
