>hard lock-on is finally in Ninja Gaiden
Gamingbrit and Cvit won

why don't you play the game for yourself and have your own opinion on it instead of forcing your parasocial obsession with some youtubers onto people who just want to talk about the game

>>724578830 (OP)
well it's a platinum game and they typically have lockon so im not surprised. it doesnt have the orbs anymore so it doesnt even really play like NG

>>724578830 (OP)
Why is it selling so poorly?

>>724579338
Due to their complexity action games are inaccessible to 99.999999% of people.

>>724579298
it literally has the orbs

>>724578830 (OP)
I haven't been using it, doesn't seem good, the auto-targeting doesn't feel as good as in NG2B either. Moving the camera seems like a bigger part of the combat in NG4.

>the auto-targeting doesn't feel as good as in NG2B either.
Because they ditched the priority system the previous NG games used

What would it take for you guys to dislike NG4? Blader hates it, Boghog hates it, Farnham hates it. Will people admit the game is bad after TEU or TGBS prove it sucks?

>>724580562
Gamingbrit will like it, it has lock-on

>>724580562
I've decided its good purely out of spite for these people

>>724580562
that's cool and all but I like it and it's fun

>>724580562
who are these "people"? do you base your entire underage personality around them? you'll laugh at it someday when you grow up

>>724580562
I will never understand why you people let others decide for you.

>be me (not (You))
>have never played a character action game before
>been playing Souls games since Demon's, always enjoyed the highly committal attacks and manually aiming your swings
>get into beat 'em ups, enjoy the spacing and crowd control aspects
>decide to finally try DMC3
>stand still
>enemies closing in
>press attack
>Dante spins 180 degrees back and forth snapping onto each opponent each time I press the button
Is it even worth trying Ninja Gaiden if one of the supposedly best games in the genre feels this bad? Is this whole genre just some kind of bad meme?

>>724583292
You're a Souls player so Ninja Gaiden is completely inaccessible to you; don't bother.

>>724580562
I actually played the game and judged it for myself instead of letting people think for me

>>724583495
I only bring up Souls because you have to manually aim your attacks (unless you're locked on, which is actively bad in most situations). In DMC3 you can be facing a wall with enemies approaching from behind you, hit attack, and Dante will automatically snap with perfect tracking to hit the closest enemy, which feels fucking awful. It feels like you're just supposed to throw yourself into the middle of crowds and input your combo strings and the game will just manage all the positioning for you. I dont' see how "rotate to target" isn't any worse than "suck to target".

>>724584608
Again, it doesn't matter.
If you're a Souls player you will hate Ninja Gaiden and will find it unplayable.

>>724584852
>Souls game
>attack lands exactly where I point my character
>2D beat 'em up
>attack lands exactly where I point my character
>Classicvania
>attack lands exactly where I point my character
>character-action game
>my character is rotated without my input and snapped to the closest target, and my attack lands directly on that target
Why is the latter desirable?

really pure

>>724590164
indeed

I should try

>>724580000
this is where you realize that 99% of posts about ninja gaiden on this site are insincere actors who haven't even played the games. most are just getting a vague sense of the games from other posts and trying to pass off the opinions they find as their own. like students copying chegg homework and changing the wording except instead of trying to get a degree they are trying to get gamer cred on a cambodian basket weaving forum

>>724578830 (OP)
Playing NG3 currently and my god is the story ass. Children are always incredibly obnoxious as plot device but Canna really takes it to the top.

>>724591034
Vanilla or Razor's Edge?

>>724591709
RE, as I understood vanilla is barely playable. Gameplay is fun as fuck though, currently swapping between single Katana und Scythe depending on the enemies.

>>724578830 (OP)
I'll wait for GamingBrit's review, he's the only reviewer I trust
