NG II has a moves list like a fighting game and you just dial up combos; has no cooldown timers; has a higher camera to show enemies around you; doesn't have flashy attack effects that obscure parry windows; lets you jump and run up things during its kinetic battles for you to find the best positioning; is very fast. Then Team Ninja botched NG3 and switched to slow Souls clone games instead...
Team Ninjas propensity to design their games to curb stomp the player might be to blame for going souls clone since people playing them seem to be into eating dirt.

I'll just say i never found the camera in NG2 any better than any other game since those black spider clowns move so fast and love leap attacking and throwing bombs from outside your FoV.
