    PRO TIP - If you go to the options menu you can turn off item pickup under a certain rarity. You can choose the rarity as well (basically set it to blue or purple so that the option doesn't even show up to pick up anything lower in rarity, for instance). This basically FIXES inventory management, and lowers the constant flow of loot you don't want or need.

    Fun fact: there's a purpose behind the "difficulty" rating of your phantoms. The game actually tracks your playstyle - how often you're in a certain stance, what spells you use, etc. The higher their difficulty the better their AI.

  • @hadifelani
    @hadifelani 2 ปีที่แล้ว +78

    What I really love about Nioh2 is that we can change the appearance of our armors and weapons to suit our preferences regardless the actual look or the type of said equipments, we can mix & match the cosmetic look of our character while still be able to use the armor we need for our intended build. That is something a *LOT* of similar games with RPG elements don't really give us the option/freedom to do so.
    The character customisation in Nioh2 is better than many similar games with RPG element, not many RPG games allows you to change the visual appearance of your equipments. Most of the time they left you stuck with your character's build. Nioh2 easily lets you change the look of your let's say the tanky build of Axe wielder that's obviously using heavy armors to look as some barbarian with cloth armor. We can also change the look of our let's say blessed weapon into a cursed weapon of the same type.
    To be honest, this is one of the most important things to keep you out from boredom while playing this game since it's quite hard and the learning curve is a bit steep for beginners. I've played over 200 hours across 2021 and spread evenly on all weapon types available to this game. Personally I liked Kusarigama, Switchglaive, and Dualswords build the most, while having Splitstaff and Axe as the least preferrable choices of main weapon.
    I still remember the time when I was a complete noob that it even took me 3 days to even clear the "tutorial-ish" first mission back in march, lmao.

      A major part of the game is loot. It's all about gear. Make sure you read stats actually do on weapons/armour using the help tool tip. Actually make sure you center around what you are building for. Makes an enormous difference in how difficult you will find the game. In NG don't be afraid to experiment a lot. It rewards you with titles etc which translate to more xp/damage etc when you redeem them....
      And build sets if you can. Those bonuses are huge.

    Once you get into it this is one of the best games I've ever played. Starting it right after beating Sekrio twice I had low expectations and while I wish the deflect mechanic was here (I know it's in Wo Long but I just don't like it as much as the depth of control and diversity of play in Nioh 2) the weapon variety, enemy and AI, the 3 stances and all the Yokai abilities etc etc etc I'm having just as much fun playing it as I did Sekiro which was way too easy on NG+ but perfectly balanced and challenging in the first playthrough (first took 2 weeks, second took 3 days) which is why I looked up the best mechanically interesting Soulslikes and went for Nioh 2 (got The Surge 2 as well, also really great deep mechanics to that soulslike as well). Anyway it's damn good is all I'm saying. It's hard to get into and understand how to play but once you do this is basically Devil May Cry in a soulslike

      45 hours probably to complete the game in Way of the Samurai. After that's there's NG NG+ NG++ NG+++, with Dream of the: Strong/Demon/Wise/Nioh. And no it's not just the same game but harder, it's much more, you get new equipment sets (graces), new special skills each time. In Dream of the Nioh, you can finally get amazing skills. You even get more enemies and the Underworld etc. In other words, the game doesn't really start until you reach Dream of the Nioh. Everything before is an appetizer.

    Even what he said about inventory, grab everything you can. You be wishing you could aquire more amrita. Just sell everything white and yellow levels as a rule at the shrine under the kodama offerings and will make tons of amrita. I wish I knew that at the beginning of Nioh 1. I'm doing it now in Nioh 2 and it's a tremendous help to boost the levels ranks

    • @youuuuuuuuuuutube
      @youuuuuuuuuuutube ปีที่แล้ว

      There's a Sake that you can drink that gives you +50% amrita. And if you get the Sukuna... set (the one that the Sudama can give you) then you can get 80% unused of that sake, so with 10 sake, it's as if you had 50 of them. Combine that with kodama blessing and the kodama bowl (which gives +29% blessing) and kodama core (+16% blessing I think?) and then you get a TON of amrita.

    i understand that most people got the Ninja Gaiden conversation out with Nioh, but i think the Team Ninja touch really comes through with this game. i've had so many moments with Nioh 2 that brought back fond memories of Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2, and i love that Team Ninja and From Software have sort of done their version of each others' games, and done them excessively well.
    also, the inventory management is a bit heavy, but the sorting options certainly help as well as the "select all'. i find myself dumping everything out via "offerings" anyway, so i don't hardly notice inventory management to begin with

    I disagree with your statement that the level design in Nioh one was "very good". Have you finished the game? The amount of asset flipping and boring labyrinth-design is awful. What saved the first one was the impeccably good combat system. What dragged it down was the level design (and maybe the overall focus on grind).

    Not to be that guy and not meant to be harsh in any way, just want to point out that yōkai aren't the same as demons. That is to say, the words aren't synonymous in Japanese culture. A better translation would be "cryptid," in that they aren't necessarily good or evil. Think of how Sasquatch isn't considered a direct threat, but you still wouldn't want to run into Bigfoot alone, whereas the Chupacabra is always considered dangerous but yet both fall under the category of cryptid. In this case, it seems that the half yōkai part of your character is an oni, which is typically mistranslated as "demon." In truth, while it just happens to look similar to the western interpretation of a demon, it would be more accurate to call it an ogre or the boogieman; mischievous and corporeal instead of a corrupted, disembodied soul of the damned. "Akuma" is the more specified word used for what we think of as truly evil demons bent on the degradation of humanity. Some yōkai are helpful, some are malicious and some don't care either way what humans do, but in almost all cultures, the concept of an evil soul from the underworld is typically not an ally. Just an unavoidable confusion from the difference in Western and Eastern beliefs and philosophy. Still a good video and definitely want to get this game, in no way meant to be derogatory with my clarification.

    One small correction to the video. You DO NOT, in fact, have to have beat the level previously like in Nioh 1 to be able to play it with a friend. Once you complete the opening mission you can play every mission with up to 2 other people but the game adds various ways of making it more difficult to compensate.

    Been playing it for 16 hours a day since it launched. Really no life with the virus around. This is an amazing game. I’m excited to push through more weapon proficiencies and rare skills from a few bosses makes for a really nice loot grind. Inventory management is a little easier thanks to the favorited items tab (great for those items you wanna find in a combat and didn’t have room to put on your 4 bars of quick use. The further you get the better the game becomes and Nioh 1 veterans will have a lot to enjoy even on the older enemies that have a few new tricks.

I came to Nioh 2 straight from Nioh 1 (only last mission left there) and I felt pretty comfortable there already. Not in this one, the new mechanics really ramp up the tension and I keep dying a lot... but it's hell of a fun to learn :)
