It has been a month since Nioh 3 launched, and the community needs a reality check. I am tired of hearing that Nioh 3 is "too easy" or that Ninja mode is a free carry, especially from veterans who spent their first playthroughs of Nioh 1 and 2 spamming Reaper and Moonlit Snow. Let's talk about the absolute myth of Nioh 2's base difficulty, the "victory lap" that was its original NG+, and why Nioh 3 dropping the Four Heavenly Kings and Jakotsu Baba on you in Region 1 proves it is operating on a much higher, punishing baseline. The game didn't get easier. You just finally got good. 🟣 Come argue with me live on Twitch: / shape_ (We are close to securing Twitch Partner! If you want to see what actual difficulty looks like, or just want to tell me my takes are trash in real-time, pulling up to the live stream directly supports the channel.) 💬 Join the Community: Discord: / discord 0:00 - The "Nioh 2 Was Harder" Mandela Effect 1:13 - The Hypocrisy of Ninja Mode & Historical Cheese 3:53 - Nioh 2 Played It Safe 5:13 - No One Remembers Launch Nioh 2, Huh? 6:28 - Mezuki vs. Jakotsu Baba (The Reality Check) 9:44 - The Objective Nioh Difficulty Tier List #Nioh3 #Nioh2 #NiohGod #ShapeGod #ActionRPG #TeamNinja #Nioh3Difficulty #VideoEssay #GamingRant #BossFight
