Thread 723052101

Remember kids, never trust those with British accents.

Cat fiends my beloved didn't make it yet again.

You got to beat the Boss Trials to unlock Dark Dragon Blade permanently.

Streamer is playing as Ryu in Chapter Challenge.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bCDx0dsnjM

Seems like NG4 on MN is easier than DMC5 on DMD lol. I thought NG’s whole identity was the difficulty?

>>723052101 (OP)
lmao no one is getting the platinum for this game

>>723054560
The streamer's died multiple times on Chapter 1 and hasn't made it to the boss yet.

>>723054560
c'mon man we can see the stream

>>723054560
>Seems like NG4 on MN is easier than DMC5 on DMD
You and I both know that's not true when Dante has Royal guard, infinite trickster dashes, the cheese that is Dr. Faust, and Sin Devil Trigger. Meanwhile Vergil is CHEESE the character and just spam Hell on Earth, Doppleganger, and Just Frame Judgement Cuts over and over again.

>>723055614
Let’s not act like Yakumo doesn’t have an even more OP parry. Faust is actually a fair point though. You do admittedly have to disable it if you want a good challenge.

>>723054560
>Yakoomer: "YOU'RE DEAD."
>Yosef: "He said you're dead"
>Yakoomer: "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT"
>Yosef: "ARE YOU TALKING TO THE DRAGON, YOU IDIOT!!"
Yosef was tweaking during the final boss on NORMAL and is getting his shit pushed as Ryu in Master Ninja on the first level. Dude's seething so much that he's screaming in an another language.

Kagachi!

>>723056261
Sorry buddy. He was streaming hours ago earlier. We even saw the final boss.

I watched the entire game from start to finish
AMA

>>723054560
OH NO NO NO NGSISSIES

>>723056379
I saw it all too. What did you think? I liked it.

>>723056379
Do we see Yakumo's face?
I have been waiting for months.

>Koreans who preordered the game got to play it early on PS5
Sony fucked up.

>>723056638
I loved it. It has flaws for sure but all in all it is a good entry in the series and i hope it sells well

>>723056379
Who gets the Dark Dragon Sword? How do you switch to it?

>>723054560
it's over...

>>723056751
no

>>723056751
No we never see his face

>>723054560
>easier than DMC5 on DMD
Genuinely impossible

>>723056808
Yakumo gets it, and double tapping into any direction of your weapons goes into it

https://youtu.be/rfLnZn_WbwE?si=xn5XwUacia1RXG7s
Lmao he’s just posting combo vids now

>>723054560
Why are you fags just blatantly lying in these threads? Just hoping people aren't watching the stream and will believe it?

>>723056808
Yakumo. You switch twice in the same direction like how Dante uses Darkslayer. Unlike Darkslayer style for Dante in DMC4, Yakumo gets a full weapon, and it gets Shadow Gleaming like how Ryu has Gleaming for Dragon Sword. You unlock the weapon outside story mode by completing the boss trials.

>>723056183
>no grab attacks
>no block punishes in general
>slowly walks around for several seconds between combos
>no backup in the form of normal enemy spawns
I thought shills were saying that NINJA GAIDEN IS LE BACK. This looks DMC-tier easy.

>>723056983
>Genuinely wanting cancer like Elizabet and the first Murai boss back
Okay, maybe you'll like the Frog boss.

>>723052101 (OP)
Alternatively, never trust anyone voiced by Sho Hayami.

>>723057139
Damn it, Aizen!

>>723056880
So, DMC4 Dark Slayer Dante. Based.

So how many stages total? How many are ryu?

Please tell mw Seori lives by the end.

>>723057105
What's wrong with wanting a boss in a Ninja Gaiden game to play like a Ninja Gaiden boss?
>oh but muh unfair difficulty
Them being unfair is part of the charm and overcoming the unfairness gives satsifaction.
Here it looks like the guy is just holding the block button 24/7 and the "boss" can't do shit.
Even the one button baby game for retards known as Sekiro occasionally had a boss pull out an unlockable move forcing you to jump.

>>723056917
Looks great, what are the chances of seeing something like this outside of the training room on anything above hero?

>>723057317
19 chapters.
Ryu gets 14 15 16 17

>>723056824
>>723056838
What!? I'm disappointed. How could that horny designer not give him a handsome as fuck face?

>>723057374
Neat, thanks. Game looks great from the clips

>>723057402
Two Masters. Trust in the plan!

>>723057402
Maybe in the DLC.

>>723057216
Yes, but unlike Darkslayer where you had a nerfed Yamato moveset, Dark Dragon Blade has a full moveset and is actually fucking useful, especially since it uses gleaming like Ryu.

>>723057374
>19
Including chapter 0? Also how long roughly was the playtime?

>>723057328
She does! I'm telling you.

>>723057490
I’m excited.
Also, Dante not being as proficient with Yamato as Vergil actually makes sense.

>>723057493
The game was around 19 hours playtime and 13 hours without counting all the continues.
Last chapter is labeled chapter 19, but 2 chapters are tutorial ones 1 for yakumo and 1 for ryu

>>723057636
NOOOOOOOO
FUCK THIS SHIT
NERO MANAGED TO GET WITH KYRIE IN HIS DEBUT GAME
LET MALE VIDEO GAME MC TAP BIG TITTY WOMEN
I HATE MODERN TIMES

>>723057756
Maybe Yakumo will get with Umi... if we actually find what she fucking looks like.

Now i understand why they didn't bother giving Ryu another weapon given how little we actually use him, it's still shitty to lock his weapons behind dlc but it's more understandable. Maybe the dlc was going to be part of the main story at some point but they ran out of time.

They show Ayane I buyane

>>723057804
The quest to revive Seori.
Yakumo will fuck her.

>>723057351
>What's wrong with wanting a boss in a Ninja Gaiden game to play like a Ninja Gaiden boss?
They're fucking dog shit? Easily the area with the most room for improvement even if you don't like platinum's approach.

>>723056751
No, maybe in the two masters dlc.

I hope this game gets on sale Black Friday.

>>723052101 (OP)
Are there any legit website selling it at a discount? Didn't see it on Humble Bundle or GMG.

>>723057896
This. They should have experimented with more human sized 1v3 bosses like alchemists in RE. This could be a good boss formula if only someone explores it

>>723057636
>Big tits wifu fucking dies
hey at least we get the dark dragon sword with full moveset and someone actually dies

Holy shit is that WILLIAM REGAL?!

I would laugh my ass off if Yaiba came back in the Two Masters DLC as a hard boss
>Yaiba: So you're the new kid huh? TAKE A SUCK!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOOgNVgmGMY

>>723058289
Yakumo lost his Aerith/Kureha.
Now for the next game, he will get his own Tifa/Sonia.

Main campaign aside, do we know anything about other game modes? We have the chapter challenge but any word on Ninja trials? Survival?

>>723052447
Which difficulty are the Boss Trials based on?

>>723058910
I think you can choose the difficulty. The main streamer we've been watching for a couple days fought the first boss on Master Ninja for Boss Trials.

>>723058994
So any difficulty you choose, you will get Dark Dragon Blade permanently as long as you beat the Boss Trials, right?

>>723059067
Yeah. Speaking of boss trials, this guy is doing them right now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO06XMwpd3E

>>723058790
You have chapter challenge and trials that are split into combat trials and boss trials and you can also enter the purgatory trials (these are like trials of valor and there is 1 in each level and after you beat the game you can get into them without playing the level

>>723058910
You can choose the difficulty and you can make them even harder by adding Death wish handicaps on top

If Yakumo gets permanent DDB from beating Boss Trials, what does Ryu get?

>>723052101 (OP)
Flop of the year lmao

How much did you spoil yourself? I watched almost the entire first stream but no more after that.

Does anyone has footage of the DDS?

>>723060384
A fair bit but it just made me want to play more

>>723060525
More like has anyone managed to rip the ost. I sneed it

qrd on the leaks?

>>723060615
South Korea somehow has allowed standard edition ps5 players to play early + some journos got antsy and streamed

>>723060615
Misaki was the fiend Achilles.
He kills Seori.
The Dark Dragon comes back.
Ryu tests Yakumo, and gives him the Dark Dragon Blade Equivalent of the eye of the dragon and Yakumo gets the Dark Dragon Blade
Yakumo defeats the Dark Dragon in Dragon form, and later in a form where it imitates Yakumo and saves the day

>>723059757
>Ryu can break your air combo then counter it with a izuna drop
Kinooo

>>723059757
Same link, Dark Dragon Blade in action.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO06XMwpd3E&t=2h8m14s

>>723060829
is Yakumo using Ryu's moves?
pretty cool if he is

>>723060906
Murai wasn't kidding about the Dark Dragon Blade and the Dragon Sword being sister blades in the first game.

>>723060736
>Yakumo gets the Dark Dragon Blade
didnt ryu destoryed that in ng1?
also i have some few questions
is the dark dragon the same from the DS game?
i watched the korean stream vid (mostly just skipped it) but i'm kinda disappointed since i'm a ryufag
was expecting him to still have his ninja jesus status but didnt expect this much of yakumowank with platinum

lastly how's yakumo's character so far? is he pure edge with no dorkiness/autism?

>>723060829
That so cool I hope Ryu gets more ninpos to compensate lmao

>>723061071
oops forgot to mention you, anon >>723060727

>>723056919
>Why are you fags just blatantly lying in these threads?
Because they want the game to be bad for some reason, in spite of pretending to be NG fans.

>>723060829
>>723060932
hold up
is it safe to say yakumo's gameplay is now the same as ryu's by the time he got the dark dragon blade?

>>723057362
Against the last two or three enemies in an encounter? For sure it's possible, just like in 1, 2 and 3.

>>723061071
I don't think you can permanently destroy a dark dragon blade it always existed in ninja gaiden(and nioh) universe

>>723056983
>slowly walks around for several seconds between combos
This happens in 1, 2 and 3 as well.

>>723061181
Yakumo canonically loses the blade because it served it purpose, but gameplay wise, you can unlock it by beating the boss trials. At least both are getting new weapons in the Two Masters DLC.

>>723061181
He still doesn't have Ninpos and only one weapon out of five have Ryu's moveset. So really 25% Ryu.
Its mostly symbolism imo.

>>723059208
Nice, that's a lot of stuff for the vanilla release.
I wonder what Two Masters will add.
I hope they add Ultimate Ninja

>>723056983
Yep this looks embarassing and will probably flop hard, you simply can't make a ng game without itagaki
Its over for both team ninja and platinum

>>723060384
I'm not watching any videos, but it's really hard to not be in the threads since it's so fun.

>>723061326
>wonder what Two Masters will add
Normally, it should be an epilogue with more Ryu.
I hope Yakumo get the orange suit.

>>723061259
Not to this extent

so it's basically NG's dmc4, right?
i like dmc4 so it's not that huge a deal breaker for me
but it's sucks that it took fucking years to make another NG game and this one feels like a sequel baity in some sense, same ending as dmc4

>>723060384
I didn’t watch any video nor do I know anything about the story. I only know big titty waifu dies.

I guess since the Dark Dragon copies Yakumo's form, you can pretend Ryu is kicking Yakumo's ass in Boss Trials for the final boss.

>>723061326
They go back in time and help nioh3 protagonist

>>723061209
I'm thinking more how you don't have iframes mid air and can easily be shredded by a mix of ranged attacks from any remaining enemies + enemy you're comboing flat out blocking and punishing you back

Now that Yakumo used Ryu's moveset, I hope they don't shy away from Ryu doing the same. The staff would be a missed opportunity imo.

>>723061298
>>723061309
oh well
at least that section in the game was cool, i guess

>Yakumo switch moveset
>Ryu switch Ninpos
Ayane should be playable and be able to switch kunaïs. It would be a waste to not use that super sexy model for a cameo.

>>723061405
It does. Especially when you are further away. It's how the AI is designed, so if you're some distance from the boss it becomes less aggressive and you can have a cool 'walking slowly' showdown type moment. We see in this video with Yakumo fighting Kagachi when he is close to the boss it is almost constantly attacking, but further away it pauses more.

>>723061412
It's like if DMC4 was actually fixed and fully complete.

>>723061643
I will only take her for extra mode
Thank god they didn't include any female playable section this time

>>723061683
More like DMC4 and 5, but they actually fully committed to Nero being the protagonist.
I wish Nero had different weapons instead of that dumb Rev button. That gimmick could be implemented in a single button.

>>723061713
>Butt armor

>>723061759
property of irene lew

>>723061071
Yes the game acknowledges how ryu destroyed it but in this game it gets remade from the jewel and a fragment
When yakumo uses the dark dragon blade his moveset becomes almost the same as ryus moveset minus a few exceptions
And yakumo is a cool character he barely talks the entire game and drops an f bomb in one or the late boss fights

>>723057139
I thought he was voiced by Jouji Nakata

>>723061818
How does the DDB look? Like in 1?

>>723061818
>And yakumo is a cool character he barely talks the entire game and drops an f bomb in one or the late boss fights
So he is like a more Choleric Ryu?

>>723061850
Yes same design as 1 except with a red tint color

It is a shame that Yakumo's sword must go untouched by Seori.

so what the fuck was raven clan's problem?

>>723052101 (OP)
are there any enemies I can masturbate to.
I saw Ayane.

>>723061918
He feels like if ryu was a teenager. I was hating the fact that ryu isnt the main protag but after watching the entire game yakumo is fine honestly, especially since how they build and introduce ryu.
Yakumo fights a greater fiend as a boss fight, but then this boss himself is a tutorial fight for ryu where you get to pound on him and he does 0 damage to you lol

>>723061990
Average height of 5'4

can platinum save DoA from TN/Koei?

>>723057636
Well that's new. I don't think anyone gives a fuck about the story in these games but there's actual stakes this time. I don't think important characters ever die in the last 3 games.

>>723062107
No, but there are orgasmic things in the game:
You can windpath dogs
You can windpath ghostfish
You can delimb dogs
You can obliterate dogs

>>723057105
Murai 1's issue is the lack of camera control and that his regular strings don't leave him punishable.
But all in all he never stuck out to me as bad, especially when Murai 2 is genuine bullshit.

Ayane will soothe his sadness.

No NG girls should ever die. We could've see her in doaxvv or something :(
Maybe they did this knowing full well this is the last game NG will ever get and since we'd never see her again they might as well end her off for maximum drama.

Don't forget Edward Kelly and John Dee from Nioh, who are based on historical British Empire court officials.

Imagine if two masters introduced coop. Ryu get the classic blue ninja clothes, Yakumo get the orange one.
Then Ayane get a pink one

Quite affordable considering how power-hungry the modern AA/AAA release is.

>>723062330
His proportions are so fuckin' weird, but he does look good in action.

>song with lyrics in the final boss battle
hmm okay interesting

>>723064718
For me, yes. Plot in ng3 at least knew what it wanted to be, took some risks and just like in 2 existed as a pretext to send Ryu all over the world. On the other hand the plot of ng4 doesn't insist upon itself like in ng3.

Stop responding to the NG2 Troondoomer

Can you unlock suits in this game? Because the Dark Dragon in its human form looks unbelievably cool.

The compliants about the game's graphics sound disingenuous. If NG4 has bad graphics, then what are good graphics for you?

so no demo huh?

Rachel where?

That final spider-man like ending in the sun is pure cum

I accept Yakumo's game.

Yakumo's status? Acceptable or rejected?

>>723065514
Love is the source of a Master Ninja's strength!

>>723069089
Kino

>>723069089
Acceptable, I want to see him in DOA. A more casual setting where the enemies aren't close to being threats to him and Ryu, and the true rite of passage is seeing whether he'll go 50-0 against Hayate as Ryu did. Maybe he'll take off the mask in that. Maybe we'll get to see Umi.

Ahahahaha the big titty bitch dies.
Ayane is in but her outfits sucks. And she appears for 2min in two cutscenes. Zero point.
I'll just wait for a new version of the game where she's playable or at least with more weapons for Ryu.
So is the story just Yakumo doing everything?
Is the game split evenly between the faggy and Ryu?

>>723069392
>Is the game split evenly between the faggy and Ryu?
Yes evenly, 16 to 4.

>>723068616
Silent Hill 3

>>723064782
That wasn't a retcon. The original plan was for NGB to be a prequel to the NES trilogy while DOA was the sequel. Ryu being dead is a dumb theory that's shot down by DOA existing.

>>723069392

>>723069476
Damn so why is Ryu even in the game ahahah. It's so funny that this is what we get for a NG4.
It's like a CURSE or something.

What ninpo should I upgrade first in 3RE? This game feels pretty different compared to 1 and 2, so maybe wind blades isn't as good as it was in 2?

>>723069657
Also is the dragon sword automatically upgraded to max at a certain point in the story like 1 and 2?

>>723069657
Void is the only one worth a shit in my opinion. Wind Blades are trash. Though I really like the ninpo bar being useful for other stuff, the cicada step is awesome. Glad it carried over to 4 with the blood form.

>>723069632

So based on the footage what is the game like? Is it more like classic NG with unavoidable damage and unreactable attacks you have to deal with by preempitvely attacking enemies, or more like a modern/Platinum action games where you can always press the defence button at the right time to nullify the clearly telegraphed attack?

is it true platinum made this play like bayonetta 3?

>>723070536
No thank fuck

>>723070536
did you miss all those gameplay segments where yakumo summons a giant monster to fight an equally giant enemy in a QTE match?

>>723070424
A bit of both. There is definitly a lot of that platinum feel in there, especially with Yakumo's bloodraven form. However, enemies are not push overs, will gang you up on you, can parry you mid air (you are not invincible mid air too). Multiple times in both the english speaking stream and the korean one, the players had to shug an healing item to not die.

>>723054560
Action games have been nerfing at least their default difficulties forever, ever since DMC4 and later Bayo 2. They do this in the name of accessibility but ironically it makes the games less accessible as people just mash through it once, don't understand anything but figure they didn't need to anyway so the game must be shallow and not worth playing again.

>>723070536
It looks like a blend between Ninja Gaiden and MG Rising

That's not true? The only one he get is the DDS. Plus the Scythe shown in the two masters teaser was the bloodraven form of a non-revealed weapon.

>>723074004
Specs are too low for UE5.

>>723073927
>btfos ryu himself
Ryu doesn't get BTFO, and it wasn't a death match. He was testing Yakumo. By the end of the fight Yakumo was out of breath, and Ryu didn't have a scratch on him.

Because Ryu and Seori were sealing the fiends to use as guardians for the Dark Dragon fragments.

>>723061643
You really should understand by now that vanilla Ninja Gaiden releases have completely adopted the idea that they will intentionally hold off on giving certain content, to save it for an updated expanded release.

Ninja Gaiden 4 changes course with a new protagonist but it doesn't change the aforementioned tactic of purposefully leaving gaps for more characters and content to be added later. Ayane and other characters are for the inevitable Sigma/Black/Razor's Edge version down the line.

AAAAAAAAHHHHH

>>723075993
>had his guard up after that scene and wanted to keep fighting
He wasn't trying to spare Ryu's life which was why he missed. Yakumo was exhausted and out of breath, so yes he's capable of missing. Yakumo was fighting to kill while Ryu was testing him out since Seori told him to only give Yakumo the jewel if he thought he was worthy.

>>723076274
can you post the video?

>>723076017
Y'know I can understand getting overly attached to some fictional characters, but Ryu is completely one dimensional. He just looks and acts cool and that's enough for some people I guess.

>>723076318
nta but it's in the thread

>>723076318
https://www.youtube.com/live/RO06XMwpd3E?si=CdH-q1FWF2bOqDJH
It's Japanese audio with Korean text, but the scene where Ryu makes his promise to Seori and to only hand the jewel to Yakumo if he thinks he's worthy is 1:29:00. The end of the fight is 2:05:08

>>723076402

>devils turd has so much personality
Is this brownoid mindbroken or just schizo

>>723076613
Its true though
Ng4 looks like genric gacha game

Has there ever been a more based new character before? Tells gooner bait main stay girl of the series to fuck off.

Misses Ryus head by inch and makes him realize he is a master ninja not to be toyed with

>>723076402
>He just looks and acts cool and that's enough for some people I guess.
nta but is there something wrong with that reasoning?
that's basically most video game protags back in the early to mid 2000s

>>723076545
Yeah DMC3 is probably the only game in the genre with a better than average story

>>723076715
What gacha games do you play.

>>723076402
I feel that Ryu got off just fine compared to Dante and Bayo. Dante got backhanded by Nero and got beat up by Vergil. Bayo was literally killed. Ryu acknowledged Yakumo's skill and threw him a rock.

>>723076753
and it's a b- at best

>>723076753
God of War 1's story is also decent

>>723076823
True, forgot that one.

if they HAD to make a new main character for 4 it should have at least been some big titty kunoichi
seeing this edgy twink get wanked so hard is lame

>>723076402
I've noticed alot of NG fans are insecure third worlders who seemingly self insert as him, it's very weird

>>723076745
It's cool to like him but that zSensy guy is going way overboard

>>723076823
but it's a pretty shit game

>>723076795
I don't
I play real ninja gaiden

>>723075113
>encourage combo garbage
Mental retardation. You have to manually set enemies to live forever and not get dismembered. The default state is the default game state. It's there for you to test combo routes that lead to Izuna Drop instakills on different enemy types, ideal delimb combo routes for each weapon and stuff like that.
You know, the kind of thing other people who actually play the games figure out by reloading saves/dying on purpose so that secondaries like this faggot can just google and grab from a gamefaqs or reddit post before their first playthrough in the 2020s.

>>723076974
>but that zSensy guy is going way overboard
oh i see
i'm not familiar with that guy but i thought NG2fags mostly focuses on gameplay rather than the story/characters

>>723076736
>Misses Ryus head by inch and makes him realize he is a master ninja not to be toyed with
Exactly, we see Ryu casually dodging all of Yakumo's attacks and swatting him away in the pre-fight cutscene. By the end, Ryu sees that Yakumo shouldn't be taken lightly.

>>723076937
>it's very weird
It's because their minds have been rotted from all the aura-farming TikToks of Ryu. Imagine their reaction seeing Ryu in the NES games.

>>723076798
Eh Dante dog walked Nero for all of 4 and most of 5 so getting bitch slapped at the end felt a lot more earned than anything with Yakumo

GIVE ME THE FUCKING GAME NOW YOU FUCKING IDIOTS I ALREADY PAYED THE DELUXE EDITION
THE GAME IS ALREADY OUT THERE, JUST RELEASE IT

>>723076798
Dante dogged Nero the whole DMC4 though

>>723077152
>Imagine their reaction seeing Ryu in the NES games.

where is Yosef? need him to try Master Ninja more

>>723076545
Bayo's story is pure nonsense but the characters and banter is fucking fantastic.

>>723077170
>most of 5
Nero surpasses DMC4/early DMC5 Dante midway through DMC5 since he got Urizen's ass off his throne and that's without any Devil Bringer nor Devil Trigger.

>>723077334
True but Dante surpassed that like 2 minutes later

was PG forced to make their own OC donut steel because they dont own NG or is it TN being bumfuck lazy ass that wants to do nothing with NG, so they just lent the name to PG?

>>723077416

Dante was left in a puddle of his own blood and out for a month.

anyone know what the download size on steam will be? does windows store compress or not?

Inazuma deletes crowds. Don't upgrade it beyond lvl2 cuz otherwise you can't stagger&combo Alma 2.

>>723077972
54gb according to some reviewer

>>723077741
The bad guys were the ones who kept screaming that shit at Ryu, but he would shrug it off and get back to business.

>>723077198
Ryu was a lot more romantic in the NES games. Anyone who hated Ryu for being too soft who lose their shit if the final scene in NG2 NES were remade in 3D.

ng3's story is so stupid
>ryu killed shit ton of ninjas, soldiers, etc.

>bayone
I was playing MGR and the game is full of crap.
>Bosses
With the exception of maybe Wolfy and mini-bosses, bosses can only be killed by designated QTE moments. Wait for the QTE to trigger.
>Combat
Fourth worst Platinum Games combat. It's only better than Korra, TMNT, and W101. The game is full of useless strings, enemies that negate certain mechanics, and overall the combat is limited. Sam has a simpler but effective kit. It makes him unironically better than Raiden. And considering that Raiden has a “full” kit
>Gameplay
Metal Gear is much better. I would even say that the combat in Metal Gear games is better.
>Plot
It's just silly. Metal Gear is generally silly, but MGR amped up the silliness. And certain setups don't make sense. Metal Gear's greatest quality is that its self-contained plot allows Kojima to explore ideas without making the plot seem dumb.

>>723078305
it's my go-to if shit tons of fiends are swarming me

>>723077674
Inazuma is the best ninpo in the game. Crowd control, i-frames, and it's the most useful ninpo in the endgame.

>>723078267
That doesn't make any sense, he'll have to keep the Hayabusa lineage going.
>his line of work doesn't really allow for happy endings like that
It worked out for Jo, why wouldn't it for Ryu?

man i miss ngb with it's not!Pyramid level
wasn't expecting a ninja in a desert theme level back when i played it
very comfy

>>723078279
>also anyone know the timeline of NG4 among the NES and 3D games?
Probably a 2-3 years after DOA6 at most since Ayane has longer hair, and the Ryu missions take place a few months before Yakumo's journey. 2-3 years is enough for that stuff to happen.

>>723078804
is jo already dead by NG4's timeline?

>>723078152
I disagree. NG3 deals with themes from NG04 games. Let's see
>Killing innocents
In the first game, Ryu straight up kills an innocent machinist. It's also revealed that fiends are humans. And at the end of the game, it's revealed that Ryu's slaughter in Tairon is what empowers the Dark Dragon Blade and helps Vigoor Emperor and Murai. NG2 ditches this for a streamlined blockbuster plot
>The eagle
Even though it is less meaningful than in NG04, the eagle motif connects with NG04.

>>723078651
Ngb was just "how many locales can we squeeze into this city". Pretty kino

>>723078651
Every PS2 game had an Indiana Jones reference.

>>723076545
because its a character action game focused in one character DUH

>>723078873
He should be. There's no mention of him in NG4. Ragebound managed to retrofit a blind Jo into its prologue, so the events of NG1 will happen regardless of any changes made by NG3 and DOA Dimensions.

>>723078624
Different times, the anachronism of ninjas and how their codes and operations don't really fit with today's warfare is brought up as well. Hayabusa getting involved in the kind of shit he keeps getting involved won't be just a fight between clans anymore.
Joe also fucking dies.

>>723076274
Ryu just deflect it behind the smoke or his helmet plot armor its more thick and tought that looks like

>>723078305
Inazuma is essential for the penultimate boss trick. Do not upgrade it to lvl 3 or it won't work

>the entire game is a humiliation ritual for Ryu, Yakumo gets the dragonblade and Ryus moveset, Ryu is just a glorified skin, nearly gets killed and is spared by Yakumo
Why is every new entry in a longrunning franchise like this? Why are they humiliating these very old and beloved characters? Be it spiderman, batman, kratos etc. Why do I have to see Ryu getting raped and crushed?

>>723076115
never preorder again unless its tream job related or be the first in a mmo

>>723078220

>>723079447
That image fails to place an *asterisk claiming that the timeline is very flimsy due several inconsistencies between the NES series and the modern series.

>>723079623
The arcade game is also canon.

>>723079556
irene, get the fuck out of /v/

You're telling me the fucking manlet wins against Ryu?

>>723079724
It's more of a draw

>>723079447
its because they re afraid of making ryu gameplay and live up to some fan schizo standards he only has 4 levels and no tools compared to yakumo

>>723079447
ooof here we go with authistic "cannon timelines" i just take 3d ng games as a reboot

>>723079724
in test mode ryu

>>723079724
They had to make Yakumo have similar ancestry to Ryu to even begin justifying them being at similar levels of power, with Ryu only having more experience because he is older.

>>723079556
Impregnate sure, but he was enticed by the fantasy of having a wife and daughter and living a happy life together. Niggas will knock on his door looking for his head forever, they'll try to take his family hostage or just kill them. It's why he fucks off at the end when both the woman and the child wanted to fuck him and would love for him to stick around.
It probably is what leads to the more mellow Ryu of the early games in canon, he tries to find a balance.

>>723057804
Welcome to Team Ninja for the past several years.
SOP had both its endings silo'd off into DLC, so if you only play the base game it just kind of awkwardly ends halfway through the climax.

>>723079921
The 3D series still takes certain aspects from the NES series to its narrative due how Ryu is handled in Dead or Alive, it can't be ignored to be seen as a full reboot.

>>723080109
>It probably is what leads to the more mellow Ryu of the early games in canon, he tries to find a balance.

>Yakumo manages to put Ryu on the back foot, fumbles the headshot and Ryu sees that Yakumo shouldn't be taken lightly
>Yakumo is exhausted and panting, and puts his guard back up expecting the fight to continue
>Ryu deems him him worthy of the Dark Dragon magatama that Seori entrusted to him
>Tyron later tells Yakumo that Ryu sees him as an equal, and Yakumo is shocked after realizing this
Those are the events. If Ryu wanted Yakumo dead, then he would have launched massive skyscraper-sized dragons at Yakumo like he did at the end of NG3 where he went all out. It is not that serious.

aaaa i wish i could play this but my pc is too shit

Genuinely doesn't mean shit.

>>723080290
Don't place too much trust in this seal, especially now years since the Deck was released, it just means the game can run on the lowest specs possible at least, even excusing a few hiccups.

>>723080275
>Seori hands Ryu the Dark Dragon Magatama
Fug, that what I meant with the first meme arrow.

>>723080275
This, Ryu is clearly holding himself back because he's not even fighting to kill Yakumo whereas Yakumo IS fighting to kill him and went all out

This is like claiming Dante jobbed to Nero in DMC4 when Dante barely exerted any effort whatsoever and was only fucking around the entire time

Itagakifags, TN has failed us once again we should support his new game totally better than Ninja Gaiden 4.

>>723057374

I'm glad NG4 has leaderboards. While combofags will try to show off their skills against sandbags, I'd love to see their rankings in leaderboards.

But does it have to be the big titty waifu?

>>723080448
>This is like claiming Dante jobbed to Nero in DMC4 when Dante barely exerted any effort whatsoever and was only fucking around the entire time
Very disingenuous assertion. With Dante in DMC4 it was absolutely clear at every second he was playing with Nero, as you can literally see him scoffing at Nero DURING and AFTER their fights, even immediately overpowering him after the second one, with Ryu here you have to mentally contort yourself to see through implications that Ryu was holding back.

DMC4 had Dante schooling his nephew, NG4 has Yakumo proving he can give Ryu a match.

>>723081043
Nero walked both Dante and Vergil in 5 though?

>>723081043
Yakumo is fighting with killing intent Ryu is not so it's just a fact he is holding back. Secondly after Yakumo misses the killing blow he is breathing super heavy while Ryu isn't. Showing that Ryu has more in the tank

>>723080778
Wtf is this slop

>>723080927
>spared
>immediately brings his guard back up when Ryu stands up
>ignoring the fact that Ryu wasn't trying to kill Yakumo and was testing him just to shitpost
If Yakumo spared Ryu, then why did he bring his guard back up after Ryu got up? As shown with the samurai, Yakumo will only spare his opponents if they're completely incapacitated.

>>723052101 (OP)
>They look like ninjas to you?

>>723081149
Nero punched Dante and beat Vergil, however, both Dante and Vergil were already weakened from fighting each other (Hell Dante was fighting all day). When Nero tries to go after them, they both punch him out.

>>723081315
you know that's bait, right?

After getting firsthand confirmation of how Ninja Gaiden 4 plays through, anyone claiming it is the same as DMC4 doesn't know what they are talking about.

- DMC4
* Nero has 13 Missions, Dante has 7 Missions.
* Dante has his entire kit, even gave him the ability to switch styles on the fly.
* Dante is treated as clearly superior than Nero in every single way, no implications whatsoever, Dante literally finishes the bosses Nero didn't kill, literally let him afte the second fight ends with Dante quickly overthrowing him, and handles the final fight against Sanctus to him on a silver platter.

- NG4
* Yakumo gets 15 Missions, Ryu gets 4 Missions
* Ryu got his kit reduced to just one weapon and four ninpos, Yakumo even takes a little from him with Dark Dragon Sword.
* Yakumo is actually a stepping stone on Ryu's way, he isn't a poor nephew getting on the ropes, he is literally the opposite of Ryu's bloodline, descended from the Dark Dragon instead. You have to see through certain events that Ryu may have possibly humiliated Yakumo if you think about it, no actual display of superiority.

>>723074140
Kureha’s tits aren’t as big nor exposed as Seori’s.

>>723074321
So Ryu avenged Seori instead of Yakumo? That’s fucking lame.

>>723082013
No. Ryu's battle with Achilles takes place three years before the game even begins and its Ryu's tutorial fight.

>15 / 4 Missions split.

Yep, they revealing soon after that you can replay the entire game as Ryu was definitely damage control.

>>723080778
Why is he like this? He can't just be a hack because Team Ninja can't even get the same game right when remastering, clearly his presence made a big difference, but also he can't make anything worth a shit without Team Ninja.
Did he do some really bad stuff behind the scenes and got blacklisted by every respected studio and that's why?

>people dragging dmc4 into discussion
Why?

>>723082183
use your head

>>723082183
People have been comparing the two games since literally the earliest reveals

>>723082183
Two reasons:
1. People were calling this game the DMC4 of NG4 because Yakumo being the new younger and more angy protagonist like Nero was for Dante
2. Ninja Gaiden fans and Devil May Cry have had intense pissing contests since 2004.

>>723081901
Dante had the same stages and enemies though. If would be like saying Ryu has 19 missions because you can play them after New Game.

>>723082089
what pissed me off is that i remember PG declaring that we'll be having an equal amount of yakumo and ryu missions
i cant remember the article/interview but whatever

>>723082303
>Ninja Gaiden fans and Devil May Cry have had intense pissing contests since 2004.
Still don't understand this. 2 decades of pointless shit flinging.

>>723082384
>Still don't understand this
do you need to?

>>723082089
It was but the feature itself is damage control. You don't really need the ability to play as Ryu when you can unlock his moveset for Yakumo as well. A fully decked Yakumo will always be a more complete character than Ryu, at least until the DLC gives Ryu a more complete kit.
But they can't exactly spoil the entire game and say that Yakumo gets his moveset, so instead they insist they're different and you can play every mission with either after beating the story.
If anything it's more important that you can play Ryu's missions as Yakumo, it'll be boring to only have DS and ninpo when Yakumo also has the DS plus his whole kit.

>>723082381
>schizo gets upset at his headcanon

>>723082456
Guess not

>>723081427
Nero was also fighting all day. Dante waked up after V found him so he fought less that day.

>>723082467
That's all NGfags though

>>723082512
Ng does seem to attract absolutely insane specimens who will foam at the mouth at the mere mention of specific ng games.

>>723082183
Because it's the same shitty and retarded Nips formula after a 3rd game in a licence a.k.a "WE NEED A NEW CHARACTER FOR A NEW GENERATION OF RETARDED PLAYERS OTHERWISE THEY WILL NOT PLAY OUR GAME, REEEEEEEEEEEEE".
Proceed with this highly controversial philosophy and ruin games and sequels forever. Both games are also character action games. Both games include this "new young pretty boi face vs the chad mentor". DMC V even added ONE MORE faggy character that no one really asked for and every sissy fan were creaming their pants at DMC V and over V.
In both instances, the girls also got shafted.

Just don't make these types of games anymore if you fail to deliver and if you follow retarded marketing trends. Just don't bother. Go fuck yourselves. Better to assume these games are dead. (And they are because zoomers are too retarded for these games and they are gonna sell poorly) and yeah just alienate yourself with your hardcore fanbase, that's always a better idea.

>>723082381
okay nevermind
saw https://www.4gamer.net/games/875/G087562/20250127029/
and mentioned there'll be more yakumo

>Dante in DMC5 gets his Quicksilver from DMC3 stolen by Nero in the form of Ragtime
>He also gets Doppleganger stolen by Vergil
>Hayabusa gets his kit minus Ninpo stolen by Yakumo
Goddamn.

>>723082709
Fair enough. I don't care one way or the other with ng4 going a different direction protag wise since it kind of makes sense to build a new moveset from the ground up after 13 years of no sequels instead of just building on the same few weapons over and over but I understand the frustration.

How many missions in the dlc? My guess is 6 with Ryu and 4 with Yakumo

crazy how chudkumo completely altered the sentiment of this game TWICE. When NG4 was announced everyone thought he would ruin the game, but because he dabbed on Ayane he's suddenly good now.

>>723078152
They brought back the writers of 2d NG games.

>Scrimblo Bimblo's like Mario and Sonic can keep using them as the main characters over and over again they constantly get new power ups
>Dante, Hayabusa, and even Bayonetta get replaced
WHY?

to be fair the recent proper NG game was NG3RE in 2012
then years go by, and now the new NG game has a new protag
not to mention we had yaiba in the past that does the same shit

>>723078152
Is it true that NG3's localization strayed away from the Japanese script?

>>723082970
mario and sonic sell, action games don't so they're desperate to come up with anything to get people on

anon...

>>723082726
More is an understatement, Yakumo has 70% of the game to himself, Ryu was reduced to the Rachel (Sigma 1) / Ayane (Razor's Edge) of the game.

I kinda feel bad seeing how little interest there is for this, hopefully MS foot the bill

How do I defeat the T-Rex in 3?

If they didn't call this Ninja Gaiden 4, people wouldn't be as angry. They'd just think of it as a side game. But because this IS Ninja Gaiden 4, the fact that Ryu is screwed so much content wise will piss off people. Imagine if KH4 barely had Sora in it and he was replaced by Yozora.

>>723082970
Dante and Ryu is fine in story. They are treated as advanced characters in gameplay.
What's really confusing is Bayo.

>>723083318
MS fucked themselves by basically killing the pc audience for this game

I feel for you bastarrds having to endure these schizos.

wait till you see a thread full of sigmafags vs NGBfags vs NG2fags

>>723083108
Sonic Frontier is the best received Sonic game, and best selling too, in over a decade, and only Sonic was playable on release, other characters were DLC and they are just tiny additions with a few levels.

>>723083638
i forgot to add NG3REfags

>>723083501
I can't imagine it was always going to be a numbered title (maybe changed when TN decided they weren't gonna make one?)

>>723065750

I hope it means that Ayane finally becomes a desperate hag hunting little boys just like Motoko

>>723083786
Why would Microsoft pay for a spinoff?

>>723083827
She already has Eliot on reserve, once realizing she can't get her brother Hayate.

>>723083501
Honestly controlling Yozora would be sick. Have you seen his moveset when you fight him?

hey guys im now at the point where you ryu is playable in story and i just wanted to say smth about his combat compared to 3re if some1 is interested.

so first you can cancel every move now that is good im but my only issue is that you cant do a slide follow up after the cancel maybe its possible but i didnt figure it out yet.

while running, hold and holding a direction strings are still there just with different input so for example while running x is now forward backward x or the xx>x.. is now forward backward y.

desu yakumo was not that fun to play for me but maybe thats bc i need more experience with him. ryu is really fun tho but im still not sure if i prefere 3re combat more ill have to play more. i

>>723083931
>just spams ut
ng2 was a mistake

>>723081270
Ryu is kneeling during the final exchange. He lost dude

>>723084057
>so first you can cancel every move now that is good
No, that's not good. I like that certain strings couldn't be cancelled as it gave them utility.

>>723084057
Cancel as in with the shuriken?

>>723052101 (OP)
The design is kinda similar to RotR's Ito Kashitaro, brainy schemer type guy

>>723083638
Oh I have.

>>723084131
>He lost dude
He saw that Yakumo was good enough and ended the fight there. He was testing Yakumo so it wasn't a death match or competition to Ryu.

>>723084193
yes with shuriken and also gleam mode

>>723082970
>WHY?
Because Dante and Ryu are not scrimblo mascot characters, they are actual characters that the devs want to tell stories with.
This is the difference between the developers and the spergy fans.
Fnas see Dante and Ryu as shallow Mario-like characters, caricatures whereas the developers have more respect for what it's like to create and justify an entirely new work

>>723083827
This is character assassination for manga.

A woke feminist nip designed Ayane in NG4. What a shitty design she did lmao. One leg with "boots" and one without is always a terrible design choice. Fuck your ugly asymmetrical ass.
I saw she worked on Bayo Cereza which was so crap design-wise. So I'm not surprised.

>>723084319
Does the game have any game changing accessories?

>>723084154
i get what you mean but the cancel is different bc you cant slide out so you have to string an attack after that. its not like 3re where you could slide out after shuriken. and thats my only issue slide seems really nerfed and useless in combat.

>>723084371
None of the GitS adaptations follow the manga except for the one coming next year

>>723084327
>developers have more respect
Anon...

>>723084224
Just say he looks like Temu Aizen.
It's insane how bad these designs are for NG4.
I can pick random stuff made by AI from Deviantart that looks a hundred times more cool or interesting.
Honestly, this generation has such a bad aesthetic taste, I can't wait for AI to replace these losers.

>>723084482
Can you slide cancel for fast movememt like in NG3RE?

>>723083009
Not much more than the usual. Wouldn't call it a particularly good translation but not a particularly bad one either. It's the same story.

>>723084512
Some changes are good while some are bad

>Temu
I miss when people used to say cheap knock off or bargain bin or dollar store.

>>723084380
This fag looking at her boots lmao

>>723084467
currently not. its just reduce damage, increase damage, heal more, drom more red orbs and get more money. i tried the damage reduction ones and i didnt notice the difference much but im just playing on normal.

>>723065750
>>723083827
Motoko my beloved

>>723084371
Stand Alone Complex has nothing to do with the original manga. Masamune Shirow said himself that every piece of GITS media is a separate creation that interprets the same concepts differently. There's no one definitive canon or timeline

>>723083501
>Imagine if KH4 barely had Sora in it and he was replaced by Yozora.
Nomura actually had to clarify that KH III was the end of the Xehanort saga and Sora's story would go on because people immediately thought it was retarded to get more Sora games.
Also everyone loved Roxas.

>>723084542
no or at least its not the same input as in 3re. mabe there is a way but i doubt it.

Is it just me or are the arguments against NG4 turning more retarded by the minute

>>723084665
Yeah? I'm looking at the overall design? I've noticed the huge underboobs, it's the only "good thing" about it. The whole outfit is still fucking ugly and the hairstyle is stupid and not Ayane.
Doesn't matter, mods will fix that if she's ever playable. (She probably won't be so 2min of cut-scenes is all you faggots get for fan service.)

>>723084693
I know. That scene is just retarded. So does Shirow now

>>723084784
That guy keep getting btfo so he ran out of arguments

>>723083940
Eliot is her main target desu It has nothing to do with her having white fever. she just wants him to become stronger. all according to her genji plan

How the hell do they find time to shitpost on 4chan about Ninja Gaiden? At least Barry lives in Australia, so his situation makes sense. But I can't say the same thing about NG2 schizos. Shouldn't the NG2 schizos focus on dodging missile strikes on the Gaza strip?

>>723084057
>x or the xx>x.. is now forward backward y.
That seems like a good change considering how much more block-heavy enemies are now and this gets around blocks.
Is holding essence the same as 2 or did they make it easier and you can let go of block and attack without buffering it?

>>723057636
What a fucking waste, why bother making a waifu only to kill her, are the devs fags?

>>723084057
also what i really dont like is the auto ot i think they should have left it like in 3re where you can just do a delayed y in the string to ot so you at least have the option to not ot.

>>723084784
We've all seen the gameplay looks pretty good so all they can do is complain about story crap that no one cares about.

>>723059471
Pacing > lenght, I'm tired of soulless Ubislop open world, I'm also tired of soulslop so yes Im buying it, I also have a huge backlog of games so I don't want another 100 hours game

>>723085105
Yeah, I agree if they wanted to be dramatic they should have killed Ryu.

>>723085105
It hurts, bro. I hope Yakumo gets a waifu as hot as Seori in NG5 if it ever happens.

>>723085194
Dude the gameplay is apparently super easy and that’s the entire point of NG.

>>723084798
Only care about the gameplay so not that bothered

>>723085256
According to anyone playing on Master Ninja?

>Beats Ryu the og protag
>Slays the Dark Dragon
How is this allowed? This dude came out of nowhere and kicked everyone's ass
It's like if DMC4 Nero BTFO'd Dante for real then went to hell and killed Mundus.
Team Ninja really likes their overpowered OC huh?

>>723085256
>apparently
We've seen that it's good, there's no need for "apparently"

>>723085093
honestly i did not use ut much bc i dont like that playstyle but i can say on landing ut is easier compared to 2.

>>723085380
Kill yourself tortrannyc

>>723084057
So to clarify, they repurposed state-based attacks into command moves, AND there are no new attacks you can only perform out of the while running state?
Can you do these command attacks mid-string like xxy-back-to-forward X/Y?
Do back-to-forward Y/360Y work on delimbed enemies or they just go into OT?
Can you still redirect attacks mid string?

>>723085245
Id rather they just revive her nobody cares about the story in NG and add Rachel and Kasumi too

>>723085380
>Beats Ryu the og protag
Nigger, read the thread.

>>723085489
Yeah. Revive her as a hot fiend Yakumo has to fight and impregnate after he wins.

>>723085429
I mean not absorbing the essence to use it later, in 2 you have to keep block which means you need to buffer inputs during block if you don't want to absorb them the moment you attack with X.
If you want to do a running X attack while holding essence the best way is to hold block, wind path, forward X all without releasing block. I wonder if they'll make it more lenient to make it easier for new players to maneuver without wasting essence.

>>723084057
did the camera improved?
can we change the controls? i saw yakumo's block button in a past thread and it bothered the hell out of me

also i assume we still have a soft lock on instead of hard lock on like dmc?

>>723075113
How is that a bad thing you retarded?

Do you think this game will motivate Itagaki to return to Koei Tecmo just like DMC5 motivated Kamiya to return to Capcom?

>>723085380
NG continues to be trashed by TN and Itagaki's legacy ruined. 13 years after the last one.
We simply didn't know how they would do it. We thought they would ruin the gameplay. But making Ryu a side character and treating him like a stupid NPC. Stripping him of his weapons and making him play 4 missions... Making him fail before a zoomy faggot was just one of their new ways of doing so. They love to spit towards NG's fans.And some gladly open their mouths! What a sight to behold.
Of course when I say "TN" I'm just kidding, it's a PG game 100%, TN is busy with Nioh 3.

>>723075113

>>723085770
Wouldn't he better off going to Platinum? Unless he wants to work on Action RPGs, I guess.

>>723085779
Anyone who sincerely thinks this and cries needs meds

>>723085479
yes there are no new moves out of while running you just do the normal strings. and yes the command moves can be used mid string and its not hard to do as you can just buffer the input while the animation of the attack before plays out. you can redirect every attack mid string now.

im not sure about the 360 y but i can say that the 360 attacks are different the 360 x is the hold xxy move and 360 y is the hold xxxy move from 3re.

>>723085770
Nah, let him keep peddling nfts and making dogshit games. It's not 2005 any more.

>>723085770
>>723085919
pretty sure TN offered NG to PG because they unironically forgot to make hack n slash games

>>723085626
camera is different and i guess for the most people its an improvement. you can change controlls i did it do be the most similar to 3re so block/dodge on l1. and soft lock on is there you can also completly turn hard lock on off.

>>723085770
i don't see it happening. i think he fully burned that bridge

>>723085932
Damn that's a bit disheartening. Thanks for info. If you plan on tackling MN later on can you tell if Purgatory waves change or no?

>>723085596
ok i get it you dont really absorb the orbs easy so you dont have to worry about wasting it. i would even say its a bit too easy as the orbs stay there a long time even if you let go of block they dont come flying to you like you have to be really close to them so that maybe you absorb them.

>>723084057
>you can cancel every move now
that was a given since it's platinum but goddamn it's still a shame when imo one of the most unique things about NGB was the commitment.

>>723085770
Itagaki is also a fucking hack that wouldn't make anything good anymore if he ever directed a new NG. Let's be real here.
Every game he made outside of NGB and II were absolute ass. Not "mediocre"... fucking ASS.
The guy's a hack, less than Kojima or idk Molyneux, but still a hack. No one wants another Devil's Turd fiasco.

>>723086102
oh so there's an actual hard lock button

or maybe you're talking about the red dot? thats the softlock im talking about

>>723086359
>shame when imo one of the most unique things about NGB was the commitment.
We moved away from that play style straight after ngb. For better or for worse.

>>723086238
sure if i get to that.

>>723086031
>t. never played dojo missions

>>723086460
Dojo missions in nioh where everything is stripped away is definitely some of the most satisfying content in nioh 2 imo

>>723080778
Looks like boring sloulslop

>>723085618
new thread

>>723080778
>we have nioh at home

>>723086430
there is a soft lock on like in ng but there also is a hard lock on like dmc. you dont have to hold a button for that but just press r3 its like a toggle and you can switch the target. you can turn it off but its definitly there. like the camera focusses on that enemy then nd no other when you use hard lock on. its like fighting a boss in 3re.

>>723084531
This game was not made by the people who care about DMC.

>>723086460
what?
TN's president said they've forgot to make games like NG because they kept making souls/nioh clones
