Nioh requires usage of more than stick, circle and R1 and inputting up to 4-6 inputs a second to execute fluid combos and dodges, it's natural for casuals to get filtered.

I beat the game though, it wasn't that hard, sekiro sword saint isshun was way harder than anything in that game by miles. Nioh had poor atmosphere, poor world design, poor armor and weapon designs, and so much useless junk you had to filter through, it was a real slog.

The answer is the two games have NOTHING in common but whatever, it's closer to a DS than Nioh, please change your friend, they are stupid, oh nevermind, it's more like the problem is yourself.

Nioh is a gameplay first game, souls could be argued to be atmosphere and exploration first game.
Imagine if I criticized a shmup for not having character customization options. that's how your criticism sounds. Nioh has transmog options for fashion, 15+ skin variants per weapon, an amazing variety and high quality all around, even in its weaker suits (which might be level design, but atmosphere? ♥♥♥♥ no. it's great involving war + nature, yokai taking over world, killing people. The death memories of people everywhere are fantastic for setting the tone. you can dislike it - denying it's well made is dumb.) If you had troubles sorting the inventory, it's a skill issue. for NG and NG+ you can easily sell everything but the gear with the best stats. there are a wealth of inventory sorting options.

Isshin doesn't come close to licking the ankles of Ryu from dlc 2 even on NG, you haven't experienced the real game.

you know people can have different opinions right? I gave you mine. I never said the game wasn't well made. Your comment is dumb though, you are acting like its a fact when it's highly subjective please learn the proper definitions of words before you post something this silly.

Nioh is one of my favorite modern franchises and I can't believe people still compare it to souls games. Nioh is a mission based Action RPG/looter. The combat in Nioh is closer to Ninja Gaiden then any Souls game, and the focus is much more on advanced, in-depth, fast, reaction based combat, then the usual Souls combat which is super simple. Also don't forget the HUGE focus on loot/gear in Nioh. If you try to play Nioh like a Souls game you will dislike it because its nothing like a Souls game.

LOTF is much more closer to Souls then Nioh and its a pretty good game (minus the performance issues). Its probably the best Souls-like to come out in recent years for me. Everything from the combat, visuals, atmosphere, enemies, effects,.....etc, is top notch and imo the combat is much better then FromSoft Souls games, because there is a little more depth in this game.

Its actually to bad the launch was so botched because once you get the game running smoothly the game is excellent. I would even put it above Elden Ring and right under DS1, demon Souls, and DS3 for my top Souls-like games.

Only for weebs. I hate Nioh and will never play it. Loving lords of the fallen. Hats off to the devs for the style theyve cultivated. Elden Ring was a bit weeby too. You guys can have your games and we will have our thankyou very much.

Or hear me out...... we can appreciate and enjoy both ;)

I never understood the argument of "my game is better then our game". Its like kids arguing over candy while on the playground lol.

Love Nioh 2's end game, music, bosses, DLC, combat, tons of different weapons, and the BEST SOULS Like COOP experience ever. This game is good so far. Love the art, graphics, and gameplay only 1 hour in though, I agree that this game has better level design i guess. Then again the way Nioh 2 is its supposed be levels and its different and not all interconnected.

[Tourette's Guy]

Nioh has better combat, but it’s not a fair comparison. Nioh combat is vastly superior to most ARPG and hack and slash games, only FROM videogames are equal in that field.
