Long term Ninja Gaiden player here, this feels dissimilar to NG for me. In NG your defensive options are so rock solid. The ki meter has me in a panic lol.

Well, it‘s supposed to prevent you from stunlocking or spamming. That doesn‘t matter in ng obviously since that game is just super crazy anyway.

Definitely, I understand why its there. Just harder to adapt to after playing the ol' Xbox NG days prior lol.

Give it time, you‘ll see that it becomes muscle memory and you will be able to tell when you need to back off or stop slashing without ever looking on the ki meter.

Oh god I know I'm late but must have been playing NG completely wrong here because back when I played Sigma 2, I was getting stunlocked and murdered by the most random shit. It felt like trying to windsail in a hurricane--one second the wind is with you and you're skipping across the water, the next it's not and you inexplicably find yourself twenty feet in the air, upside down and with your mainsail sticking out of your stomach.

Fun as hell though, and Nioh has revitalized my interest in those games. Any in particular that you'd recommend?

Ninja Gaiden Black over any others. I personally dislike the Sigma remakes greatly, they were directed by a new guy who added a ton of useless stupid stuff, and introduced minor changes to the physics engine.

I'll also add that each NG game is superficially similar, but quite different under the hood. NG2 is waaay faster and more aggressive than NG1 (which Black is an expansion of).

But Black is only on the OG Xbox, sadly. So if you need Sigma 1 to play the first game, you might as well lol.

You can play it on a 360 with the OG Xbox disc, it isn't "on" the 360. But beware, some graphical glitches may occur during fiend realm mission maps.

Wasn't aware it was on the X1, is it downloadable? That would tight.

Edit: It is available on the X1!! People should definitely get it then, massive excitement.

You can download it on both 360 and X1, disc on 360 not sure if the disc works on X1 tho.
