LOST SOUL ASIDE COMING OUT SOON

NINJA GAIDEN 4 COMING OUT SOON

GENRE SAVED

How's ragebound?

>[Final destruction of the rollslop genre intensifies]

DmC sucks

>>717024281
It's fine. It's okay. I'm still pissed PC got shafted with the Definitive Edition.

>>717024281
This game is pretty good ngl.
I think if it released with all the definitive edition features and was its own original IP we might even have seen a sequel to it.

Even if you don't like open world slop, BotW is worth a playthrough to fight these fuckers

Man I am so cooked. The last two replays soured my opinion on the respective games big time. Definitely not touching NG in general until 4 comes out.

people will shit on dmc5 enemies for being sandbags but then say this shits good when at 5s he dodges the attack from a guy just by button mashing a combo. at least when a shitty fodder scythe guy in dmc tries to run up on you from behind you have to actively dodge his shit or do a big AOE

I'm a decent way into Ninja Gaiden 2 and I really kind of despise it
It has flashes of brilliance but these are marred by just so much utterly stupid bullshit, like this part I'm stuck on with the mines in the snow and the guys shooting at me

>>717022996 (OP)

>>717035574
The stupid bullshit is what makes the game charming, that kind of thing being missing from modern games is why gaming is so stale now

>>717034138
this
based on the previews, it's going to be great

>>717035746
Gaming isn't stale though, it doesn't have stupid shit like that
Even TNs newer games like Nioh 2 still have ambushes and traps and shit but if you're perceptive enough you can spot them and be proactive
NG 2 is just a slog

>>717035574
it's like the most accurate representation of a NES game (including the bullshit) in 3D

>>717035852
Fairness is overrated

>>717027002
https://youtu.be/YYRq9jCleWA

Why isn't Hi Fi Rush ever brought up in these threads?

>>717035973
OK I'll send you a copy of my epic new game where the enemies, attacks and bullets are all invisible, do a trillion damage and you do 0.0001 damage to them

>>717036026
Don't know if a patch changed it, but when I played it on release it was incredibly easy and extremely shallow
Part of the problem was how easy it was to spam the tag feature

>>717036029
You described the bullet hell genre

Is DMC 4 worth playing? I've played 1 3 and 5, but was turned off 4 when I heard it was half a game and the other half is played backwards through the same stages

>>717036368
It's basically a combo video engine with a bad game attached to it

If you like NG2 where do you go from there? Is it just only downhill at this point?

>>717036631
Yeah basically. 4 is coming out transformers devastation is alright.

>>717036631
RE is far better

>>717036735
I've had some fun with RE but that game really needed tonfas.

>>717036725
Devastation is on my list for sure. What about wonderful 101?

>mechanics are a crutch
>mechanical darwinism
>deep games are dumb
>im a turd strike virtua fighter tekken god
When did Mork turn into a retarded grifter instead of just a passionate shmup autist?

>>717036809
I thought Wonderful 101 was super fun, had an engaging, hilarious and soulful story with an excellent final chapter that really cranks up the spectacle and features the single greatest QTE in gaming history
That was on the first playthrough, but the more I played it the more I despised it and its hamfisted minigames that aren't even polished and felt like no playtested them, retarded level design, awful perspective and idiotic camera
But just as equally I know people adore it as their favourite game
Try it out for at least one playthrough and see how you go, it is unique if nothing else

>>717036809
Haven't played it but astral chain is another good one

>>717036820

If it is it will a Ninja Gaiden shitflinging fest by that point.

>>717036029
We do need more auditory focused games, I agree.

>>717024281
Yeah we know.
>>717025958
>was its own original IP
That's a Catch-22 situation though, since it only plays as well as it does because Itsuno took time to flew to the UK to help them get it to feel more like DMC. If it was a new IP they would've been on their own and it would've been Heavenly Sword with a style meter.

>>717039858
Lmao so business as usual then. First 100 posts are “NG2 is peak,” then someone dares mention Razor’s Edge, and the next 300 are just people seething and posting weapon tier lists with no context. Wake me up when someone figures out how to make the camera not fight you harder than the enemies.

Still have to play Ragebound proper but I loved the demo. Wanted to finish up pic related first. It's a very by-the-books beat-em-up in a good way and every stage has something unique about it that keeps it fresh. Good for the price if you like the genre, and the music is surprisingly above-average. Portia is busted, 1cc'd with her and never dipped below the starting life total.

>>717037073
You must be mistaken.

>>717036368
If you're not playing DMC on LDK mode you're inherently receiving a watered down inferior experience.

>>717036631
3RE is 2 but good. Play that.

>>717042041
This is just NG 2 gameplay

fallen chungus special

>>717036631
You're already going to play TF Devastation evidently so play Magenta Horizon.

>>717042041
Still mad PC got screwed out of LDK on 5

>>717044945
Just mod it

It finally arrived :)

Ninja Gaiden is unironically better off as a 2D franchise at this point

>>717047816
nice of them to mail it to you in a diaper

>>717048521
I heard it’s a shitty ass game so must be why

>>717047929
With the way 3 and 4 are, yeah.

Actually gonna replay NG2B while I am still fresh off of my NG marathon. Dunno if I do a regular NG, NG+ or CC yet tho.

>>717049765
With 4, the NG franchise conceded and told everyone Bayonetta was better. Then proceeded to ask them for help on the homework assignment. It’s actually kind of sad how far NG has fallen

>>717051462
Bruh the core staff behind bayo is soon to be homeless after the inevitable flop of okami 2, if the test assignment turns out good then we are going to absorb Platinum, otherwise they'll join the streets with kamiya.

>>717047929
Kys

Bros I'm getting filtered by Rhyvashi. The most insane thing is that the challenge for this stage is to not get hit by her but I can't dodge a full wave of her lightning bombs for the life of me, I always get hit by the second one on-landing or hit by the lightning strike as I'm jumping away since I cornered myself. I can't imagine restarting the whole stage if I actually wanted to S ranks the stage.

>>717036820
>Only reads the thumbnails

>>717052969
it's gonna do fine every single thing that never hit the mainstream flip flops and makes it out alive somehow.

Currently playing NGS2, with the Black mod. It's really fun and feels great to play but it seems like the mod creator decided to up the bullshit at points. I was stuck on Chapter 3 on Mentor, towards the end, in a tunnel where a ton of golden Van Gelfs spawn on both ends and then sit back spamming fireballs. It was so dumb I went online to check how other players did it on the regular NG2 version only to find out that even on Master Ninja that section spawned lower tier Van Gelfs, not just golden ones, and their AI was much less spammy with fireballs.
On the other hand, I feel like the mod broke the werewolves AI. They're very passive and barely attack.
I'll eventually have to get a cheap series S to play both NG1 Black and the original NG2.

>>717053461
Someone got filtered by NGIII? Many such cases.

>>717054038
>eventually have to get a cheap series S
Yes

>>717046663
The community will release a thousand v-tuber model and voice swaps, but none bothers to fix SSSiyan's mod.

It was licensed out to Blasphemous devs by Koei Tecmo who own NInja Gaiden I.P. and they're woke nowadays.
https://archive.is/Lrs3G

And Microsoft is the publisher for this year's Ninja Gaiden 4. Of course microsoft and their "inclusion guidelines" ruin another game + woke Koei Tecmo. Expect some bullshit in the game hidden later to fool people and say there's nothing woke (like in Dynasty Warriors Origins) and certainly no sexy costumes.

nig whats the game

my dad asked me for help taking the Christmas tree out
he was barking orders at me and wanted both of us to carry it because he's old and weak and I was telling him I can just carry it myself and it would be a lot faster and he started accusing me of wanting to argue
then I just started carrying it because I was tired of him wasting time and he kept constantly making snide remarks and treating me like a pet instead of a human being helping him out and then he compared me to my mother (while i was doing all the work and he was just shitting on me while watching which is literally all she does with everyone else) and I told him to shut the fuck up and let me haul the tree and he shut the door on the porch in my face

>>717057697
Is this some DMC lore I’m not aware of or did this actually happen to you?

>>717057642
Buccaneers Shipshape, not sure how I forgot to mention the name. Here's the 1cc proofs too.

>>717058019
I spent 5 hours after what happened today writing an exhaustive letter to my dad about how miserable I am because of my horrible family and abusive upbringing and how much I truly despise my mother and his enabling of her
I wonder how upset I made him when he said he was in a good mood today because his cancer is going away or something (I don't care enough to ask anymore)
not like it's any different from the countless times this year I've had my extremely rare upswings and good moods completely cratered by him or my mother or both so I don't really care
at least now he hopefully knows how much I hate my life because of my family and my problems that I'm not able to address because of the hell I live in and I didn't have to lose my voice yelling over him until he started to beat me, at least when he wasn't old and decrepit enough and when I wasn't old enough to fight back
I basically blinked and 5 hours of my day was gone along with my optimistic mood from this morning and I had a paper's length of meticulously proofread misery and I actually sent it
I am tired of being denied peace and happiness by everyone around me
I'm tired of masking

To the 12 other Ninja Gaiden and DoA lore autists, what are you thoughts on Ragebound explicitly making the NES games canon again? If they wanted Ragebound to be non canon they wouldn’t have shown Ryu with the gimp suit. Hell, it’s the NG3 suit which is even more surprising.

>>717058591
Doesn't it take place during the first nes game or something?

^when 2 schizos collide

Dark Souls has deep combat.

I don’t care if someone gets upset. Rise of the Ronin is a terrible game. The combat itself is simple with an addictive hook and the default ass female character is kawaii but thats it. The game plays exactly like Assassin’s Creed yes I have played one of those before so I know what I’m talking about. Down to the dialogues and mission complete header and sound effect, it is exactly like Assassin’s Creed. And that’s pretty fucking sad considering Team Ninja is copying a Western company trying to make a Japanese game instead of making a Japanese game as a Japanese team. I hate to say it but the game is soulless. Play Nioh 2

actual Ass Creed fan here, if AC had combat half as fun as Ronin does I'd be shilling it here non stop
>bro but it has an open world like in ac looooool
and so do 90% of open world games, TN just copied a popular formula and added a decent combat system to it (just like in nioh btw)

>>717056370
Game is great, fags who can only talk about what normies are playing need to go back to their miga sub reddit or find a forum where the majority of users speak their native language.

>>717022996 (OP)

When are we getting a new Vanquish or Binary Domain?

>>717056968
Does this play well in emulation since there is no pressure sensitive face buttons, or are they not used much, or you only need 2 you can map to triggers? I own it for PS2 if I need to play it that way.

I played DMC2 for the first time recently, being open minded and thinking that maybe other people are exaggerating how bad it is. They did exaggerate, it's probably one of the most greatest games I've played. I must have been confused 80-90% of the time about what was happening since the game kept jumping everywhere, suddenly teleporting into a cave with a moth boss, kill him and acting like it never happened, learning the girl was kidnapped only the instant I teleported into the bad guy's base somehow, then acting like we'll somehow find a way to get in even though the game just skip-cutscene-teleported me in there, only to then get randomly mindfucked by 3 floating heads boss, kill him and Dante acts like it never happened, somehow learning the girl was a demon begging for forgiveness from something I have no clue about and only learning that at the end. People did exaggerate the infested tanks and helicopter however, they only appeared once in the game.

It’s not just the open world, when you finish a mission in RotR the Mission Completed header in gold font pops up with a sound effect. They copied this exact thing from Assassin’s Creed. They copied the homework that was wrong. Like I said it’s a Japanese company copying a Western company making a Japanese game. Ronin’s combat is pretty shallow and repetitive compared to Nioh but its way better than AssCreed combat yeah

incredible anon... they copied a jingle...

>>717061448
dmc fags shouldn't hate dmc2 since dmc2 perfectly encapsulates itsunos game design

>>717023291
It's actually pretty good, just a bit short.

>>717036584
>It's basically a combo video engine with a bad game attached to it

Deep. You should review games.

Itsuno was never capable of replicate the magic of the original DMC1.
The fact every single tool/weapon has a purpose in the game, is the main reason DMD never got better than in DMC1.
Nightmare is wonderful and one of the most unique bosses ever, DMC1 will actively punish you if you are playing wrong and Nightmare has no mercy, all the orbs will carry the amount of attacks and damage received into the next battle, break too many orbs, make yourself the whole battle even harder.

Bayonetta is a good frame of reference for a what if DMC2 was made by Kamiya, and man I have to say, shame we don't live in a world where Kamiya is creating more adventures for Dante.

>>717061918
Dunno if Kamiya would want it, but if Okami 2 is a success, I can see Capcom giving DMC to his team.

I recently played this and I gotta say, if you think about it hard enough, this is basically ninja gaiden of shmups (it has iframe chaining)

They did copy the jingle yeah. They copied the whole formula, including the jingle, that is as exhilarating as when your dad sees your mom’s cellulite ass for the millionth time. Just not what we want but they thought it was a good idea anyways to copy it. I hope they don’t fuck up Nioh 3 somehow. But if we have people like you defending Ronin. Expectations are low

>The game has only ONE save slot
>No normal teleport to every important location in the world
>Terribly designed equipment/inventory menus that are separated from each other for some reason forcing you to waste time constantly switching between them
>Weight/item limit that doesn't serve any purpose and just makes the game annoying af and even more tedious
>The game is dark as fuck so you have to either change the brightness settings to the max so the game looks like shit, or use a lantern all the time that stops flashing light every time you fall into the water
>The color palette is washed out and so limited that a lot of enemies just blend with the background
>No lock-on
>No fast weapon switching
>No enemy compendium
>A lot of encounters force you to change vocation in order to continue
>Every single time you want to/must change vocation you must go to town and speak with NPC and then change all of your equipment and abilities manually
>All the abilities are just described via text boxes instead of being shown on screen via short demo videos like in DMC games when you buy new abilities
>No option to just blend different abilities and weapons into one custom vacation
>All of your party members are just custom made pawns and you don't get any human party members that are actually interesting characters like Trish
>The story doesn't get interesting until 80% way through
>A lot of the story is presented by characters just standing around and talking to you via dialogue boxes instead of being presented via interesting, fully-directed cinematic cutscenes
>Romance/dating system in the game is possibly the vaguest, most random, and most terribly designed system in history. You will never get the ending with the beloved you want on your first playthrough without the guide

I still absolutely love this game like almost all the other Hideaki Itsuno's games, but holy shit it has a fuck ton of flaws

"character action" is such a gay term

implying copying dark souls + diablo formula is any better than ass creed one
the only fault with the game is that it gets easier the more you play it

>>717030584
"People" who shit on DMC5 unironically prop up shit like DMC 2 or Wanted: Dead. They're just brainrotted contrarians, pay them no mind.

Dark Souls is way better than Assassin’s Creed. What do you have a bad taste in video games or something?

>Dark Souls is way better than Assassin’s Creed
Literally baby's first challenging game with insanely boring 1v1 boss fight focus in later games and hyper non interactive enemies (super slow, super easy to run past), let's not pretend the game is something more than an okay to decent action adventure game just like ass creed

>>717062136
I feel like Kamiya would do Viewtiful Joe 3 next since he probably still wants to do another toku thing after project GG crashed and burned due to Inaba's retardation.

Anyone else tried the new Shinobi demo? I was hesitant about the game at first since it looked very different from old Shinobi games gameplay-wise, and it is, but I ended up liking the demo a lot. It's pretty much a straight up 2D action game instead of a 2D action platformer like the older games. I think character action is a dumb term but it did feel like I was playing something like a 2D DMC or platinum game, so I guess 2D character action would be a fitting way to describe it.

I’m a bit amazed watching someone write a defensive paragraph trying to explain how Assassin’s Creed is better than Dark Souls. That’s fine if that’s how you feel. I know some people who prefer canned food over restaurant quality food because it’s what they know. And they never really got to develop a palette like others

>>717063014
I personally hate that it's combo focused especially since the previous games including the 3D ones didn't waste my time with that bullshit. Reminds me of Slave Zero X where the game looks cool, but is boring as fuck. It's unfortunate for me.

>>717063137
I'm not going to blame anyone for not liking the change in direction but at least there's Shadow of the Ninja and that new 2D Ninja Gaiden which are more purely arcade style to play.

Really wonder what Tengo Project's next game will be, I really loved their Shadow of the Ninja remake

>>717063014
I played it, didn't like the combat really, hope the encounter design opens up for a full release

>>717063226
There are options for me I agree, but MAN Shinobi looks fucking gorgeous. That just makes me even more sad.

>dark souls
>restaurant quality food
those games only really excel at level design and exploration, their combat system and focus on boss fights doesn't make for a fun action game, I am sorry you lack video game experience to understand this
And no, I didn't say ass creed is better than souls, I just said they range from okay to decent as games (although ds3 is total dogshit), just like ass creed

>>717063137
Bro no one's going to make a game with old shinobi combat in the modern age

is there any chance of the NG master collection going on sale within the next couple of weeks? I picked up NG2 black on sale but i'd like to play through all the games in order before 4 comes out.

>>717063489
What? I think Shinobi 3's controls are still great, that game is timeless.

>>717022996 (OP)
For me, its Phantom Blade Zero.

what if Yaiba ends up thinking Ryu trashed the church and just slaps him out of drunken rage because it made him look bad
like he just fucking slaps him and knocks him back before he realizes what he did and makes the same expression he does when he accidentally kills you in NG2 (which also showed his lack of restraint)
how would you react? would itagaki even put that in the game?

>>717063014
I'm a massive Shinobifag and I loved the demo. It still has quite a bit of platforming, especially for optional stuff.

The series is somewhat varied anyway, so being distinct doesn't bother me. I miss the grittier art direction of the Genesis games, though.

>>717063507
it was on sale last month so chances aren't super high I think

That isn't Dark Souls.

New LSA weapon trailer is looking cool. Definitely seeing the stronger DMC influence.

>>717062702
You must be young because Asscreed is the perfect comparison to dark souls. There was a time when people thought every game should be more like asscreed and they eventually got their wish. When the first 2 games came out they were really exciting because there was nothing else like them and then everybody in the industry copied them to the point that people started to beg for linear games again. Same thing is happening to soulslike games. Very exciting at first now is industry standard. I recently played Stellar Blade and Wukong and groaned when I realized I'd be on the defensive for boss fights with parrying, rolling, bonfires, no juggles, no canceling out of moves, etc. It is all getting old and From won't be the ones to innovate they finally found their cashcow so they won't fuck with the formula too much.

Dodge roll in a sidescroller is just wrong and I don't like it. Fortunately, I didn't really feel it was necessary 99% of the time. Haven't played hard yet though.
