      Nioh 1 has a few problems. Notably targeted lock on to a fallen enemy and no real move to save you when you're out of stamina. The game expects you to use Flux instead of slamming your face against everything like in Nioh 2.

      Nioh 1 has a bunch more bullshit like multiple bosses in one arena and bosses spawning those FRICKING skull mobs to make thing super extra hard for elite gamers to run around in circles for 5 minutes waiting for a single hit. 2 is a way smoother experience and the combat is improved by having yokai cores, more cool skills and a way better equipment system with better set bonuses not just stacking every fricking damage% affix.

          The recommended levels mean ABSOLUTELY LITERALLY nothing. They could not mean any less. The only very notable things level gives you are some health especially early on, a few gear and Spirit requirements, and getting to at least 30 in Dexterity and Magic for Ninjutsu and Onmyo limits. While I'm here, damage scaling does frick all too and your main level focus is best put into Constitution/Body and Stamina after getting any requirements you need and the aforementioned Dex and Magic as those are useful fun tools for everyone that are given to everyone via skill locks. Gear makes more of a difference but armour level makes little difference and you're expected to go elsewhere if you want to prevent damage (though there's tons of options), while weapon level on the first playthrough isn't that big a deal because you shit out damage without trying.

        I didn't really like the additions to the combat
        Anima and the Soul Cores to me are too disruptive of the weapon combat I'm so fond of

            Fists were also a really rough weapon for me to start with. They were the most interesting to start with and definitely crazy strong once you unlock the whole moveset, but the magic doesn’t start happening until you start getting enough moves - and familiarity with the game’s basic mechanics. Of course, the game in general doesn’t really start until you’re on NG+1, but I had no experience and didn’t know.
            Ended up playing to 100% completion, but the depths are shit and so is every mechanic and endless damage bloat past NG+1. Wish it were possible to decouple the altered boss moves and burst counter windows from all the other garbage heaped into higher NG+.

              It has an absurdly fast and mobile running attack, plus the ki burst can mog some bosses susceptible to it like Yoshitsune, so I’d pin it upper-middle assuming perfect execution and great familiarity with the enemy.

            Sword scales directly with your skill level and pushes you to properly learn its moveset while providing all the necessary tools in an understandable format making it one of the best weapons to start with, and is extremely powerful like all the weapons are. Anyone that would even dare to say it was nerfed is 100% an Iai loop shitter who has zero idea of how each game differs and barely understands either or the weapon to its fullest.

      The game gets better the more you put into it as it's designed for people who love action games with big depth, the first difficulty in both games gives you enough tools to bungle through if you really want to and for later difficulties you can start trying to build around it instead, one of the cool parts of the game is that it incorporates so many different approaches though it shines best when you combine them all and let them play off each other. Not liking Monster Hunter is a bit of a red flag but you'd have to watch gameplay or something.

        >that only get more complucated as the game goes on.
        Not really, because the game expects you to take full advantage of its systems at that point.

        Imo Nioh does NG+ cycles really well, the most casual players can finish the first cycle and feel good about it while for the die-hard action game fans it's just the warm-up.

        is that the anti fun mechanic where you get some of your stamina back by tapping a button after a move, that shit filtered me right out of the game

        To be fair, flux has a lot of different shit going on for most weapons than just give stamina back. On spears you get a back hop or instant pushback effect, on tonfas you get iframes and a combo setup, etc. It's an effective way of giving you more gameplay options. The devs heavily incentivize and reward you for learning the timing of your weapon.

          This would be ok but nowadays casuals still demand more and more nerfs to the game and are never satisfied while simultaneously crying and whining either about the game being too easy or the later difficulties being "unfair" because they actually require slight understanding of the game, making them also get nerfed. All while actual fans of the game have to work to keep themselves entertained. There's a far better balance they could strike, but at the very least they need to stop fricking the game over for people who will never be happy. People still demand Wo Long deflect windows to be wider instead of actual good changes like fixing the lock on targeting.

          Anyone who thinks they only nerfed the iai hasn't properly mastered the sword in 1 is only just larping

      It's pointless busywork you expect from Korean MMOs because Team Ninja are huge fans of that autism.

    I can't decide on a main weapon. I love the hit and run shit you can do with hatchets but the back dodge where you throw them out you need to press R1 - B/O and then hold it, I always frick it up even after hours of practice.

    Spear low stance is fun as hell flipping around everywhere but I despise it's mid and high tier moveset.

    Tonfa's are great, until you realize the demon combo is the majority of your gameplay. Odachi is boring. Axe is too slow. Fists filter me hard, I can't stick to enemies. Kusarigama has some of the longest animations in the game and if you whiff you have to waste burst counters non-stop. That or you spam Reaper all game. Dual swords look moronic and don't feel fun to play. I don't have enough IQ for split staff and switch blade.

    Guess I'll just stick to Sword, even though everyone says it's not a beginner friendly weapon.

      Do you have most of the movelist unlocked? Don’t forget you can chain an active skill from one stance to another on Fists. I crutched on high stance heavies for gapclosing until I got the hang of other movement, plus it does a good job of breaking horns besides.

        forgot to mention you can also do wacky shit like high stance heavy -> medium stance light followup skill, so the 2-hit combo for distance/block pressure and the knife-hand chop for fast safe dmg are both on the table no matter what stance you’re in when you start.

      The magic of Nioh is that you don't need to decide on a single weapon. Keep one you like the most around so that the Proficiency is always higher and speeds up the others, but you should be learning all the weapons since they all have a lot of fun tools and are really strong, and since scaling means barely anything you can freely swap whenever. Don't underestimate the training ground just for putting time into practicing inputs, it goes a very long way. A big part of how Spear works is getting used to the ranges it needs to maintain, that lets it bully enemies quite hard. Kusarigama is somewhat similar but it accomplishes this with the pull moves and has a similar hit and run style to Hatchets, except it tries to stick on enemies like glue, the longer range attacks are there to cover moments where you'd whiff. Tonfa and just Demon Dance has a ton more to it than Pulverize, and with Kannagi it gets absurd, but it's more about that enabling the rest of your moveset further via its crazy mobility. The rest just takes practice, and I've already made a post regarding Sword.
