Confined areas force you to use wall running, shurikens and platforming skills midcombat. You know, like an actual ninja. This fake DMC4 shit is gay.

>It plays nothing like Ninja Gaiden.
It literally has the exact same skeletal design for melee combat, except one is more spastic and the other moves more slow and deliberate to balance out the need for firearm
>You're just being an inbred motherfucker that may as well claim FEAR is exactly like Blood 2.
Everything I mentioned is true. Nice ad hominem, try to insult me all you want with a wall of text, it doesnโ€™t matter. The fact remains Wanted Dead is basically an arcadey game rooted in NG melee combat with firearms
>In NG using shuriken mid combo and Wanted Dead's "gunkata" serve completely different purposes
Youโ€™re strawmanning, Wanted Dead is literally made by ex Team Ninja members but it doesnโ€™t mean Wanted Dead has the same exact mechanics that duplicates NG. A game can absolutely be directly influenced by a prior title without needing to copy every mechanic down to the detail. Dense as fuck, Iโ€™m probably wasting my time on someone who either hasnt even played the game or played it on easy because the combat was too challenging so they had a dumb experience. I bet you didnโ€™t even figure out you can guard cancel your moves for chain attacks

>>713275440
In depth mechanics alone doesnt but a game by the same people who unapologetically states it, might have something to do with it. Wanted Dead is not NG nor is it even a spiritual successor. Mind you, if you played both these games, especially NG Sigma 2. Then you might have a grasp of whatโ€™s being said instead of calling something like shit is so idiotic bro! Just canโ€™t comprehend those points dude! Oh yeah dont tell the other guy, he wants to say I havenโ€™t played any NG in my life because heโ€™s angry at me

So which is it? Is it Ninja gaiden or is it not? You're flip flopping between stances anon. Truth is WD is not NG in the slightest. Might have loose connections but mechanically and spiritually they are vastly different. Play Samurai Jack instead.

His analogy isnt shitty, the movement is as much a part of the series as the jump physics in a Mario game.

This game, at least 80% of it thanks to Yakumo, is nothing like Ninja Gaiden.

Looking at this footage, it's kinda obvious why they added an air recovery mechanic to the game. It has a lot of airtime for an NG game. Who thought adding more airtime to NG was a good idea? I don't know, but I want to punch them in the face.

Maybe if we get a public demo and I get a good feel for it I can see if it actually feels like Ninja Gaiden. This looks nothing like Ninja Gaiden right now.

They're all fine except for Sigma 2. You either want to emulate the original Xbox 360 version, or play it with mods. There's also NG 2 Black, which is just Sigma 2 but better mechanically, albeit with less content.

Just the sword, it's a great all-arounder and the only weapon I truly click with in this game. For ninpo I've been exclusively using windblades this run up until now, but I'll probably switch to true inferno for the last two days because I don't see myself surviving some of these encounters otherwise.

Yeah the other anon convinced me to give it a try and it's been really good in my experience, especially in Day 6 where the enemy count is ramped up. It heals less than the other ninpos but the difference isn't that big with unupgraded hp bar, and the aoe makes it foolproof to land. When it delimbs without killing you can OT the targets to get some of the ki back and continue to build up your super UT which is probably the best thing about it.

You are wrong. There would be an issue if anon said DMC is like NG because they have mission rankings, multiple weapons, aerial combat, and several playable characters but he didn't. He said very specific mechanics tied to NG which are objectively correct. Stop being obtuse.

This game looks like it plays more like 3RE than 1 or 2, and that's a fair reason to complain
Simply having the mechanics doesn't mean much, if you had all of these mechanics with a soulslike movement it would still be reasonable to complain just like it is now

Yakumo looks like Raiden. I thought that was obvious since it's made by Platinum. This game is almost like MGR 2 down to the cyborg aesthetics and everything. And Ryu absolutely looks like an anime character as well, just one from the 80s like Goku, Kenshiro and the like since that was when he was conceptualized,

I've never played a Ninja Gaiden game in my life. NG4 looks cool so I want to play them before it comes out.
What's the verdict on the NG2B remaster?

Shitty but passable

>Ryu absolutely looks like an anime character as well, just one from the 80s like Goku, Kenshiro and the like since that was when he was conceptualized
Modern Ryu is entirely a 2000s design, you couldn't be farther off.

Framerate dips. It's at it worse for the first few stages but gets better over time. That's because enemies were removed from this version but that's a different topic.

>Confined areas force you to use wall running, shurikens and platforming skills midcombat. You know, like an actual ninja
I'm no history buff, but I'm gonna say Ninja Gaiden Black absolutely 10000% did not portray Ryu accurate to an actual ninja. You're unfathomably retarded for saying something so utterly stupid. That said this new game in no way resembles the games which were good enough to warrant the praise to warrant this sequel. The devs were smart enough to realize people liked them, but too idiotic to see what people liked.

Yakhomo look nothing like Raiden, he is making Raiden look like Rambo in comparison.
Yakhomo look like a japanese teenager from an anime for teenage girls.
This character seriously look like absolute shit and cannot be further from the Ninja Gaiden easthetic.

No that's Ryu. But Ryu is also a harem protagonist.

Best version of the game but you'll need to deal with Unreal 5 slop.
