anyone play the demo?

>>717245558 (OP)
Not that great as people are portraying it to be
Ninja Gaiden haters just dickriding this shit

Most people I've seen praise the new Shinobi have also praised Ragebound, even on /v/.

I like both series and both games.

i only liked the 3d shinobi game on the ps2

>>717245558 (OP)
Yes, it's fantastic. Ragebound is excellent but Shinobi clearly had more budget and time

>used to pressing down and attack for the divekick from years of Shinobi 3 runs
>AOV puts it on just pressing heavy attack in the air
>press down anyway because of muscle memory
>unlock a different attack at the end of the demo that uses down heavy in the air
>fuck up nearly every encounter from then on, dropping straight down when I want to divekick

>wife 10s away from delivering the baby says goodbye
>Seconds later an army passes through the field out for your blood or whatever
This isn't going to end well is It? WHERE'S spider man?

Joe burned that bridge the same time he pissed off Godzilla, Batman, the Terminator, and Rambo.

Will buy it on release after finishing ragebound.

I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did, but it really hooked me. I tried it on the Switch 2. The only issue is that the in handheld mode the characters were kind of grainy looking. It was fine on the TV. I don't know if it's just some kind of resolution thing that they could patch or what.

>Preg wife right at the beginning of the game
Day one buy.

>>717253106
apparently eshop only has the switch 1 build. some anon said in another thread one of the devs posted on twitter they would have a switch 2 build at release

>>717253683
Oh shit. You don't have a link then do you? Apparently, Ragebound is hideous on Switch 2 as well. I'm never one to get caught up on visuals and performance, but the art style for these two makes it very apparent.

>>717245558 (OP)
nope i am playing ragebound rn

Did not expect the combo system to be fun to play based on the videos I saw but holy shit they really nailed it. The platforming is awesome too. I went from expecting the new NG to be good and this to be questionable to the complete opposite after playing the demo.

She's pregnant with the Shadow Dancer Shinobi Hayate

I just hope that the dark katana unlocks an akujiki/PS2 shinobi style kill system

>>717254223
what they really nailed was the execution system.

balancing combos, kunai and enemies to chain kills feels almost as good as the Tate system

>>717254374
>Tate system
Whats that?

>>717245748
I like both.

>>717254042
The issue is that nintendo isn‘t willing to give switch 2 devkits to anyone but the biggest publishers
>>717254223
It reminds me of prince of persia the lost crown in the best way. Hopefully this sells better

more kills you chain, the more powerful your sword becomes, can one hit bosses if done right

>>717245558 (OP)
I thought it was alright. It's not like the previous games, though. You have a dedicated sword attack, which has light and heavy attacks that you can string together for combos, and kunai are there but they're scare and not as effective as before. Double jump doesn't take timing to execute, and the levels are non-linear exploration focused metroidvania style affairs. There are hidden platforming challenges (see webm) and those seem pretty fun. Overall I think this game is going to be a lot easier than the older titles, which you may or may not appreciate.

yeahhh... nah

>>717256174
you're ridiculous please kill yourself.

>>717256212
I'm just not into that shit, calm down fanboy

>launch the demo
>assist menu
>it's actually just difficulty options you can only turn down
yep, it's shit

>>717245558 (OP)
the demo was combo slop with docile enemies, I hope this design trend will die one day

>>717256967
This is by far the worst trend in modern gaming

>>717257028
There‘s new soulsslop coming out every week so just stick to that

>>717256831
Not into what, good game design? Kill yourself, nigger.

>>717255665
The kunai can one shot easy mooks and is typically used to break armor so you can perform executions. It works well, just differently. Like in Shinobi PS2 where it was used to stun people so you can backslash them for one hit kills.

>>717245558 (OP)
looks intere-
>>717256967
lol nvm into the trash it goes

>>717257218
>I only know comboslop and rollslop

>>717254648
No, the issue is how the Switch 2 scales games in handheld mode.

>>717257339
>ruining 2d movement with ez mod iframe options
>good game design
bro...

>>717257604
Give me your favorite modern action games that are neither

>>717257895
a modern action game good enough to call my favorite?

>>717258048
Yea, you‘re just retarded. Take it easy.

>>717258098
they haven't made those, erased that part on accident when I was rewording my post a little
at best I can name a couple of bmups like final vendetta and fight n rage

The main thing that disappointed me about the demo was the way the scoring system works in arcade mode. The game tells you what parameters effect your score, but it doesn't tell you HOW they effect your score. Was I too slow? did I kill too few enemies? Was my hit counter too low? I have no fucking idea.
