its actually harder than dark souls so that's why people don't talk about it.
its dark souls ninja gaiden
It's not actually that hard, you're prolly just undergeared. Even some of the later hard fights like that Oda + Yuki battle felt gearcheck-y.
It's not really hard, just punishing. One mistake gets you killed, but most deaths will be flukes once you know what you're doing and a lot of the stages aren't even that long.
Think diablo meet souls. Much faster and less deliberate than souls. Also here blocking actually does something.
Pfffft hahaha no.
you can play it like fromslop but it has a gorillion other mechanics you're supposed to use
it's fun if you know what you're doing
the combat is boring and slow like souls trash
Level design is shit and repetetive, enemy variety is low, diablo loot is annoying, but its still a fun experience because of the crisp gameplay.
Yeah level design is mostly bad and bland, DLC had some cool areas though
Enemy variety is good in Nioh 2, lots of enemies and some bosses are copypasted from Nioh 1 but if you don't have any Nioh experience and start with Nioh 2 you should be happy with the enemy variety.
Idk why people complain about the loot so much. Souls games get boring fast in ng+ runs because you don't need to explore and find loot anymore. Unless you're a turbo autismo and want to find the best possible weapons/armor there is no reason to grind either
It's fromsloppa except everything's quicker and you have much more mechanical depth. Example:
It's both easier and harder than Dark Souls
It's extremely combat focused. You don't have an open world, just levels with nosses (usually) at the end or some sort of enemy gauntlet of like 3-4 rounds of 1-4 enemies each
Several side missions too for each level, at least 1 usually, sometimes two
Combat is more 'fair' in that both you and the enemy actually have a stamina meter instead of the souls idea of a pretend stamina meter for enemies
Nioh 1 is... ok when compared to the second. Second is massively improved and I'd recommend it but the story, albeit both of the stories are kinda your generic action slop, is better in the first one imo.
Ignore anyone who mentions diablo loot since loot can more or less be ignored till NG+3 and caps at NG+4
ninja gaiden combat + diablo loot
levels are sorta empty and enemies are extremely repetitive
there's some levels that have like 2-3 types of enemies at best
at least the boss fights against samurai are cool
Also IZA
Ninja Gaiden combat is completely different. Why do people keep saying these games play the same, I will never understand.
>Fromslop
Lol
wo long is literally just nioh
its like the same exact game engine
what did this picture mean by this ?
Wo Long is simpler and dumbed down compared to Nioh 1/2.
Wo Long was such a disappointment. I was hoping for Nioh 2.5 or 3, but it was just boring parry spam with no depth and boring build variety
Atleast that's what I would assume pic creator meant, that's why I keep posting it atleast.
Adding to this that I'd even consider Jack's Game more of a Nioh sequel than Wo Long
wo long has barely any moves and the correct decision is always parry
It's an actual ARPG/Diablo loot. Souls is a Action Adventure game.
I dropped Nioh 2 because the loot system was moronic, people here like to shill it in souls and sekiro threads but they are probably just contrarian Black folk. Some day I may give it another try
>Start level
>Use Ochoko cup
>Some lvl 992 player from east asia carries me through the whole stage
>Repeat this for the whole game
I had a fun time.
>Use ochoko cup expecting them to carry me throughout stage
>The first guy just run off the cliff
>The second guy do finger wagging emote and just disappear
>Nobody want to play through the stage with me, they just want to kill boss in 2 sec then depart
yeah that was a pretty fricking big problem
I stuck to the npc ones if you wanted help
This happened to me at the final boss from the last DLC
>at the final boss from the last DLC
>Is the only boss in the game to have a cinematic finisher tied to it
Let me guess, he stole the kill and you had to watch like a good cuck kek. No I'm not projecting.
Otakemaru and first mission horse guy also have finishers
On a surface level, yes.
Beyond that, not really.
If you were to think of the souls formula as like a flavor to apply to other genres, Fromsoft Souls would be souls flavored dungeon crawlers and Nioh would be a souls flavored diabloclone.
It has a silly story that's just pure fantasy.
the combat encounters are much different from the average fromsoft souls-like formula
a soulslike is focused primarily on defensive and reactive play, whereas in Nioh you are encouraged to play aggressively and make use of all of the game's tools
It's better since it gives you more options to frick around and has more satisfying combat flow than the average slow and stiff soulsslop but it's no Ninja Gaiden.
So can I just skip Nioh and jump straight into the sequel?
Without spoiling anything, the last few missions of Nioh 2 happen after Nioh 1 and is a follow-up to the Nioh 1 story, but you won't miss anything. Nioh 2 is an improvement in every way and the story is self contained
Yes. I played Nioh 1 and wish I hadn't wasted my time. It's too fricking long and a lot of the late game content isn't even worth experiencing. 2 is way better.
the sequel is a prequal up until the last couple of missions were you meet up with the protagonist of the 1st game after a time skip. You might get a bit confused at the end if you skip the first game but it's mostly fine
Absolutely
There's a callback directly from 2 to 1 but you can just read the story on Wikipedia for Nioh 1 to understand
2 is pretty much Nioh 1.5
Mechanics are mostly the same, combat the same, etc
Just better levels, better combat (due to a new mechanic) four new weapons and overall more skills for the weapons which massively helps them
that's the other thing about combat compared to souls, you have light and heavy attack then have like a bunch of skills you can use like Katana has the most iirc at 24 and you could feasibly use up to about 10 of them at once without needing to switch out
2 is way better
the stories connect but not much
It's been a while since I played it but I remember that ki recovery thing being cool. Better than mashing R1 4 times and then waiting for your bar to recover. Reminds me of those games that have tactical reload so you can start shooting faster if your timing is good.
yes and way faster and more varied combat but crappier level design. if good combat and keep you locked in then go for it.
excellent combat ideas that even 1 is still enjoyable at a "normal" level of play, though 2 is an improvement for item cancels alone
Diablo loot is a dealbreaker for some, but that's what really made me sink 500+ hours combined
it's just regurgitated From Slop, full stop
It has the worst loot system of any game I've ever played.
I played every stage multiple times and did nightmare bonus missions but my build was for spears and I was stuck with one 15 levels off
You can even use money to craft more and I spent every cent I made and still never got anything better than my level 13 POS.
I could still beat stages being patient and abusing ninjitsu and low stance but holy shit frick that.
Excellent gameplay and designs though. Outrageously hot female characters for a variety of tastes too, but somehow there's no art of any of them and it pisses me off more than the loot system
>all this b***hing when soul match exists
I swear to ninpo christ if you're throwing a tizzy about your gear falling off in WotSam I'm gonna izana drop you.
what's wrong with the loot system? Just dismantle anything that isn't the highest rarity you can get and dismantle weapon types and armour you don't like. Only thing I don't like is the 600 item limit, let me carry all the items I want
