Thread 720660189

Are you boughting /v/?

I will be playing it on Game Pass (tm) Ultimate

Yeah but definitely not at full price, haven't even played 3 yet

>>720660189 (OP)
Pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition for 90 euros :)
Ryu looking phenomenal.
Yakumo looking great.
Can't wait.

>>720660519
Why would you play that abomination?
Just play Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II.
Skip 3.
Play NG4 on release.

>>720660189 (OP)
pirothing

>>720660189 (OP)
Already played all the Ninja Gaidens I needed on the NES.

>>720660520
>Local game stores selling PS5 Deluxe for 80 bucks in local currency
>Check Steam page
>100 bucks

I want it on PC but I'm almost compelling to go PS5 because I think this might be one of those games with very limited print that's going to be pretty rare in the future too.

>>720660617
>Why would you play that abomination?
I played all of the other ones
>Play NG4 on release
No I'm not paying $60, I'm happy to play it in 2-3 years

>>720660617
>Just play the same 15+ year old games over and over forever
>Always be bitter and hung up on the past, always compare stuff negatively, never enjoy anything new
No.

Why does Ryu in Black 2 look kind of...mentally challenged?

>>720661992
I will enjoy NG4 which is new, I will never enjoy that abomination NG3 and NG3:RE. Anyone that likes NG3 or NG3:RE is not a true fan of Ninja Gaiden.

>>720662574
Because people who wasted their money and/or time on that indian UE5 slop are also mentally challenged.

True NG fans only play NGB and NGII.

>>720662787
Black 2 isnt THAT bad. Ive already played the previous versions so I enjoyed a new twist on it.

>>720660189 (OP)
male gaze revealing clothes like this won't be in it so no.

A fully clother shibari is tame in comparison and the most Microsoft (publisher) will allow.

Pray they don't just step into Fujo bait territory, gay pandering with the pretty-boy mc. Like they did with this year's Dynasty Warrior Origins.

>>720660189 (OP)
I already did now I just need to get a PS5. I was hoping to borrow my cousin's again but it's a no go.

I'm so glad its not UE5, my PC is strong enough to handle that shit I just don't like how those games feel or look, do all UE5 games have slight input lag or something?

>>720660189 (OP)
Nah, I'm going team chink this time with phantom blade zero instead.

>>720664421
You say that as if they're releasing even remotely close to each other. I'll be getting both because I'm fairly sure I'll be able to afford more than one video-game for the remainder of my lifetime.

>>720664662
Good for you man

>>720660189 (OP)
I tried playing the games again recently since they were too tough for me as a kid and still now as an adult I can't get passed the second level. I don't understand how people are able to block and dodge all the damage coming from every angle.

>>720660189 (OP)
>No Rachel, Ayane or Momiji
Shan't be playing

>>720660189 (OP)
Eh, maybe, we'll see

>>720664421
Bad idea. Chinks lack creativity and sophistication. Phantom Blade 0 is junk.

NG4 is the superior choice, but do as you please.

>>720664878
The trick with NG is learning what moves provide safety while you're trying to thin out crowds. Ultimate Techniques are insanely good not just because they deal tons of damage but because it gives you i-frames, unlike Souls the i-frames on rolls are actually kind of poor and a bit of a newb trap. Aggression is NG is the best defense because the sooner you can turn the fight in your favor the better

>>720665215
It seems to be the other way around, chinks are starting to develop a soul while nips are throwing theirs away.

>>720665602
One look at the button inputs and animations of Phantom Blade 0 is enough to determine it is junk. Your money, do with it as you please.

>>720664878
Souls games are braindead turn-based games in disguise that fore you to play defensive.
Ninja Gaiden is all about offense, non-stop aggression is the best defense. Stay mobile and aggressive.

>>720666510
Is there something wrong with the buttons? Also the animations look fantastic, you must be blind or something if you think NG4 looks better in that regard.

>>720660189 (OP)
I'm interested but no Ayane no buy

>>720662574
Chink devs chinkified Ryu in NG2 demake.

>>720666952
You will discover it the hard way, as I said, your money, do as you please.

>>720662574
He is an autistic super ninja.

He is mentally challenged.

>>720665010
Lets wait for the TGS trailer before we start seething about /OurGirls/ not being in the game.

>>720668637
Nta but you could probably be more detailed if you want to criticize a game because nobody knows what you're talking about.

Is it going to work on deck? The master collection doesn't work at all

>>720668897
How the fuck does and XBOX and 2 360 games not work on a Steam deck.

>>720664421
Traitor! Imagine being on an anime website and supporting China over the Yamato people!
I’m getting both.

>>720668897
Master Collection runs fine on my Linux PC with an Xbox controller. I don't know why it wouldn't work on Deck.

>>720669147
They are not the Xbox versions.

>>720669147
those are PS3 versions thobeitever

>>720660189 (OP)
no, everything about it looks like dogshit

Kpop Demon Hunter

>>720669440

>content creator caters to subhuman NG3:RE babies to get views
Many such cases.

>>720669820
All games collect player data these days, they will have info on if people like playing Yakumo or Ryu more

>>720669820
And success depends entirely on whatever arbitrary number KT's management decides as their sales target.

>>720669972
Post your MN runs

>>720670092
Luckily, KT isn't Capcom and 1 million is enough for them. If that weren't the case, we wouldn't be at Nioh 3.

>>720669869
NG4 looks like a faster version of NG3RE.

>>720670316
Good, and I hope every enemy on MN is on par with the Alchemists.

>>720670316
Wrong. NG4 is an actually good game. NG3 and NG3:RE will never be.

This, he's literally a jewtube shill.

>>720670495
>NG4 is an actually good game. NG3 and NG3:RE will never be
i'll be honest here, everyone should wait on ng4
all the footage has been red flags

>>720670704
The footage has been amazing and it is already better than NG3 and NG3:RE.

I think the concept they went with was pretty good, although all the designs look good imo.

I will but it won't feel right playing on ps5 but that's my only option

>>720670825
>>720670910
I actually prefer how NG3 looks over NGB2 visually, I think the graphics hold up very well, probably the last Team Ninja gamethat impressed me visually. Also best Ryu design

>>720671047
>anatomically fucked left arm
Dumb bitch still didn't fix the art. Bet she's a nepobaby hire.

>>720662692
NG2 fans hate NG3RE. NGB and NG3RE fans are bros

>>720671203
If she gives us a hot Rachel or Ayane I won't care.

>>720670003
That data will have Yakumo with more playtime because he has more main missions and most people probably won't replay the game using Ryu for all missions.

>>720671228
Nope. I love both NGB and NGII. I hate NG3 and NG3:RE.

>>720671047
They all look pretty good apart from E, which is way too fucking busy and just looks like Ryu is wearing a bunch of strapped together rags

>>720671149
>Also best Ryu design
Nah.

>>720671478
"The evil Dark Dragon blade...."

>>720671203
Anon its concept art, the primary goal isn't to look good, its to convey design ideas

>>720671434
nta but everyone of those looks too fucking busy, the art director was probably taught by the marvel guy who drew pouches everywhere, fucking amateur hour

>>720671314
Is playing as Moritsune on Super a " you didn't beat the game" thing?

>>720660189 (OP)
It's in my steam library. Last game I was excited enough to pre-order was AC6, I hope this is just as good.

>>720671886
nah I like batman armor Ryu, 's cool

>>720671901
Moritsune is defs fine for Super. Considering if you want to do it with Hotsuma you literally have to either manipulate talisman spawns or get two full charges with back damage.

>>720664421
I have soulslike fatigue

>>720669440
I think if they let him show some more muscle like Ryu he'd look more masculine

>>720660189 (OP)
Wish they'd fix the dogshit master collection first.

You are supporting character action right?

>>720671047
Looks like shit, no wonder they already marketed the paid DLC skins months in advance knowing people would rather use the much better outfits from previous games instead of this tryhard moon knight copy/paste.

>>720672029
Super's balancing is questionable at times even if its the most fun at moments

>>720672390
Fix how?

>>720672096
Damn, nightshade looks like that?

>>720672470
>>720671480
nigga is that mf stranglehold??

>>720672459
>In a developer interview (Overworks staff — director/designer Toru Shimizu and producer Masahiro Kumono) they explicitly state balancing was “the hardest part” of the project, and that they tuned the overseas (North American) release to be harder than the Japanese one. The interview even calls out that the North American release shipped with a higher overall difficulty and that some players said “this is way too hard.”

>>720672390
NG4 is developed by Platinum Games.
The dogshit master collection is made by Team Ninja. Team Ninja doesn't have resources to spend on Ninja Gaiden, they are busy raping the Nioh formula to shit out inferior versions of Nioh so they can finally get the casual audience.
Stranger of Paradise adding easy mode + mandatory companions didn't work.
Wo Long having simplified gameplay + semi-mandatory companion sections didn't work.
Rise of the Ronin adding easy mode difficulty and going open-world didn't work.
Surely, the 4th time, with Nioh 3 taking elements from these games, will work! RAPE RAPE RAPE! RAPE the Nioh IP, RAPE the Nioh formula! We have no honor, we are modern Team Ninja.

>>720672471
Restore black and stop using the vita version as a base.

Coomer outfits in Nu-Team Ninja games suck though

>>720672602
>they tuned the overseas release to be harder
Based, too bad modern devs are such chickenshit pussies nowadays and instead add more accessibility shit and keep dumbing down and making games easier in order to cater to foids and glue sniffing retards.

>>720673438
Yeah I don't remember any in Rise of Ronin, though I suppose that was supposed to be a more "realistic" game.

>>720668884
nta but there is no need to say more aside pointing out that your chink slop is unreal engine. enjoy your much inferior product while us nippon chads have a blast playing Nioh 3. Team ninja never made a bad game after all.

>>720673494
The reason japs did that is because they fucking HATED that countries overseas could rent games (its illegal in Japan). They made them harder with the hope that you couldnt beat it in a single rental so you'd buy it instead. Don't buy any other bullshit excuse japs make. Capcom used to do the same. It was very common

>>720673968
lmao meant to say NG4 but it goes for Nioh as well

>>720660189 (OP)
Why is he kinda hot tho

>>720674014
what capcom games were more difficult in its NA release?

>>720660189 (OP)
I'll grab a key for it. No way I'm paying 70.

>>720674187
Every version of street fighter.
Most of the arcade games from the 90's, specifically super ghost and goblins.
You could argue the original monster hunter games on the ps2 and psp were bullshit hard for the same reason.

>>720664332
>do all UE5 games have slight input lag or something?
Definitely.
It's a memory leak / optimization thing.

>>720673968
But I'm going to be playing all three of these games. I don't care what engine a game is made in, I care about the actual content and design of the game itself.

>>720674187
Resident Evil 4 (removed Easy mode)
Devil May Cry 1 (enemies did more damage)
Devil May Cry 3 (removed easy mode, also shifted every difficulty so normal was the new easy etc)

There's a ton of Capcom games with balance changes for different regions, bur these immediately pop to mind (re-releases restored the intended difficulty)

>>720660189 (OP)

No, OP asked. I answered. Now I'm leaving

>>720674831
I'm only going to play one of these games

Poor twink Yakumo

>>720664332
UE5 is an unoptimized piece of shit, I don't think there's a single game that doesn't have some type of engine related issues.

>>720676147
I feel like I'm the only one who actually likes the more futuristic designs, NG never really had a coherent visual indentity so I like what they're going for

>>720676147
They say they did it so Ryu looks tougher in the boss fight. Kinda based.

>>720678235
>Ryu vs Yakumo
>Seori begs Ryu to not kill him
>From Platinum's Blog: To help give this “face-off” more impact, I chose a design on his front side that leaves a lasting impression.
The fact that they're describing their confrontation in quotes and Seori is telling Ryu to not kill Yakumo means he's going to hold back tremendously. Yakumo gets these flashy execution screens whenever he kills a boss, so Ryu would just go "lol nope" to Yakumo and counter him once he's at 1 HP. Think what Vergil does to Dante or DMC5 or what Ryu does to Yakumo in Ragebound.

>>720664332
I dunno about UE5. But since this game is 120fps on consoles, I'm sure it'll be great on PC.

>>720664150
>console digital
Don't buy from PSN, bro. Remember pic related. Always buy physical on console ESPECIALLY when it comes to Ninja Gaiden. Plus, all of the PS4/5 NG games are not cheap and will only get more expensive over time.

You need to stop posting, Sanjay.

>>720660189 (OP)
Gamepass

I'm gonna give it a fair shake though. I like NG and I like Platinum, I have no kneejerk objection to the styles blending. It's not as if this is taking the place of a hypothetical KT-developed traditional NG, team ninja is clearly uninterested or doesn't have the bandwidth to make a new NG themselves.

>>720678946
>Artist still draws the same stubby arms and small hands
kek

NGbros, what's your favorite weapon besides the Dragon Sword? For me it's pic related. WR > FS is so satisfying. Even when an enemy is launcher into the air by something like the Flame Wheels, the FS on these babies sends Ryu flying towards the enemy like a fucking Sonic homing attack, holy fug. Flame Wheels + UT racks up hits like crazy. And XXX>XXXXY is the most satisfying string ever.

>>720679190

I’ve never played a ninja gaiden game and this will be my first. Pretty excited, it looks cool.

>>720671047
They definitely picked the best one which Is rare
I'm not fond of the right sleeve covering the biceps, I like Ryu's fuck huge arms showing

>>720679004
afaik there's like a couple of seconds where they show the new shrine maiden but none of the previous female cast like Momiji, Ayane, Irene or Rachel. They also omitted all the playable female characters from NG2B trailers for xbox, basically microsoft/xbox is run by faggots.

>>720678875
I forgot they took that off the store I bought it before they did though. I wish I'd done the same for Transformers Devastation but I got it through playstation plus like a decade ago.

>>720680813
There was a couple of seconds captured by a latinx channel, basically looked like Sigma 2 MN with tanky enemies that wont delimb and player dying in two hits.

>>720669820
Didn't happen with dmc. Not happening with NG

>>720671047
A, no contest. D is almost there but would look awkward with Ryu's stance with the dragon sword

I'm cautiously pessimistic, which is to say, the bar is very low, my expectations are not high, but I don't disbeleive in the possibility of it being a good game, and I'm open to the possibility it might be a game I'll actually WANT to buy.

>>720660189 (OP)
Hell yeah, game looks straight up bad ass.

>>720674831
I will only be playing NG4 and Nioh3. I’ll pass on the soulless chink unreal engine sloppa.

>>720681160
Really? That's a shame. I don't think any game needs 2 tier enemy amounts, so less enemies than that would be perfectly ok, but I rather like the high risk high reward play of being able to dispose of enemies very quickly even on MN but them being brutal and you getting punished for your decisions in the mid term too.

I kinda love the art director, she seems great and her blogpost was fun to read. Also loving the designs for everything so far of course.

She's got some unspecific credit for it. I think the game has it's own style though, but stuff like the katana hilt definitely remind me a lot of MGR.

Tourist spotted

Which version do you tend to replay the most? The only thing that drives me away from replaying NGB on Series X is the load times are not affected by better hardware.

>>720669496
He doesn't know...

>>720683271
Ligma just because it's more convenient. The downgrades are not bad enough to make me not choose convenience. Sigma 2 Black is also my preferred method of replaying 2 because of that.

>Start Normal in Sigma 1
>Kicks my ass
>Start Normal in Sigma 1 Black
>Enemies deal zero damage and it feels 10x easier
Is it supposed to be like this

Reminder that picrel is what KT, Platinum and Microsoft thinks of (You). NG4 isn't being made to cater to NG fans, it's made to cater to faggots, foids and trannies.

>>720683105
>Tourist
Why are you surprised?

>>720683581
Sigma 1 Black isn't supposed to touch the gameplay at all, so no, something went wrong.

>>720684371
I meant SIgma 2 Black, I'm a retard that the didn't notice the typo

The wait is killing me bros...

>>720684431
Oh, then I'm not sure, never played Sigma 2 Black below Mentor, but makes sense that it's easier since you kill enemies much more quickly and the game won't overwhelm you with enemies on the lower difficulties. I'd recommend at least Hard.

>>720684472
Yakumo seems pretty DMC inspired, constantly hotswapping weapons/modes to control the battlefield feels very Dante

>>720660189 (OP)
No, because I've had absolutely no interest in the game ever since it was revealed that Ryu's weapons are going to be DLC. I can't say I was excited for this game even before that, but it really just sealed the deal for me. I'll likely wait for the Razor's Edge/Sigma/Black/whatever edition, if it ever comes out, and then pirate it. I'd rather not give them money for this literal cash grab if I don't have to. Until then, I can play the first three games whenever I want.

>>720685285
Yeah he also has a bit more agency in the air compared to what we're used to in this series. I do like the idea that he has fundamental differences compared to Ryu.

>>720685753
Yeah same, it's things I wouldn't necessarily want in Ninja Gaiden, but if he was just Ryu Too then I'd be annoyed it's not just Ryu instead of excited for the dual protag thing.
Paying attention to the webm it seems like the enemy is entering the defensive state and blocking his air string, would probably parry mid air after the third hit, but the weapon switch and/or bloodraven mode broke the guard and put him back into the juggle, so even with a bigger air combo focus it still seems to be focused on practical outcome instead of just styling.

>>720683271
I play both. Heh, NG04 and its alternate forms is just the greatest game ever made. Nothing will ever top it. That's why I also enjoy the other games. I walk in knowing not to expect the greatest game of all time and then I have a good time. Between the two, I have been playing Sigma more because I've been aiming to get the plat on PS5. I have a Series S to play Black. But after I get the plat, I'd probably replay Sigma for its Survival Modes since I want to get max scores on all weapon categories on the leaderboards, and Black if I wanted to replay the chapters because of No Rachel. I wish Black leaderboards were up. NG2 still has its leaderboards for the missions and each chapter which is pretty sick, so I prefer playing that over Sigma 2 and Black 2 for that reason alone. I'm pretty competitive, so have they confirmed leaderboards for NG4?

Is 4 going to be toaster friendly? My pc is not that bad but it struggles with newer games

>>720686397
Its hard to say because Platinum hasnt released a PC game in long time

>>720686397
System reqs are out if you wanna take a look. They don't look intense.

The Hayabusa and Yakumo yaoi will be amazing.

>other enemies now get stunned when hit by the guillotine throw
Was it like this in older games? I can't remember

>>720660189 (OP)
It looks pretty good so far. The camera looks a little too zoomed out for my taste but this might be adjustable

I've been playing NG since 04. I try every version and at least play through very hard. Still trying to see what the hype is. These games are boring as fuck. Team Ninja and Koei Techmo couldn't design an interesting level if their lives depended on it.

>>720690541
>play through a game he doesnt 5+ times
ngl you just sound kind of retarded

>>720690786
I'm just open minded faggot. The only real opinion I have of the series is that NG2S and Black 2 still fucked up enemy health / delimbing and are flat out less fun compared to OG2. Also you shouldn't have to play through each challenge on every difficulty in Black / Sigma.

>>720660189 (OP)
Yes. Im playing LSA just too scratch the itch in the meantime.

>>720662692
>Anyone that likes NG3 or NG3:RE is not a true fan of Ninja Gaiden
Ok lil bro but RE has some of the best mechanics and feeling in the series (yet), Ryu plays smooth as fuck. Everythibg else goes from meh to shitty, sure. Ome of the reasons Im excited for 4 is because we might finally have better bosses overall

I've got no doubt that the girls will appear in some capacity, I just hope it's an extended role and not a one cutscene cameo.

Ayane will almost certainly appear since she's been in every 3D Ninja Gaiden. The rest are less likely though

I did it with Joe Musashi.

They would get interrupted too, but the effect wasn't as pronounced.

To be unironically totally honest, no. Between team ninja making absolute dogshit nonstop for decades, and the fan base here being so dishonest and manipulative, I will absolutely not be trying this game and have zero interest in it.

No. Maybe the game can change my mind once I can see more of it but I doubt it.
