What went wrong?

NG = DMC3
NG2 = DMC1
NG3 = DMC2
NG4 = DMC5
Devil’s Third = DMC4
YNGZ = DmC
Wanted: Dead = Bayonetta

>>725549334 (OP)
No. Now back playing Bayonetta 3, Darksiders III, Wanted: Dead, Robocop, and Blades of Fire.

>>725553613
sad...

>>725553613
Soulsbros...our response?

>>725549334 (OP)
looks like stellar blade chads won again!

>>725554014
... the goyslop award!

>>725554182
better than no award!!

Here Ryū’s pet neko

Why is /v/ so desperate to mock people who bought a game then stopped talking about it?

>>725554746
PCück are jealous

>>725554746
most posters are too stupid for ontopic

The threads are still going, even though it's a miserable experience. Too many people riding the tortanic hype.

While all that hate just exposed how NG fans are only dick riding ecelebs and never actually play the game since most of their critiques point out flaws that have existed in previous entries and are clearly intended design choices now. The game’s price is crazy, lmao. Like, you make a game the size of DMC IV and price it like Elden Ring?

>>725550419
DMC4, DmC, and Bayo aren't that bad

>>725554746
why does ninja gaiden 4 get so many boomers to defend it even though its just another boring tryhard action game

>>725556373
Niche games can only make money from fanatics because they don't have any mainstream appeal. That's why the price is so high.

>>725549334 (OP)
Not a real team ninja game. Its a platinum game pretending to be a ninja gaiden game
Just accept the franchise is dead and that nioh is where its at now for that ol team ninja spark

>>725557434
I don't know what TN spark you're talking about, Nioh plays nothing like ninja gaiden, and ng4 is a proper ninja gaiden game gamplay wise.

>>725556589
>DMC4
Meh back to back
>DmC
Forced shit
>Bayo
Very niche

>>725557774
and W:D, Yaiba, and D3rd are 10 times worse

I played and enjoyed it but now I'm done with it. It was fun but I still wish that Ryu would've been the proper MC. I think TN does have the ability to make NG despite them trying to say they didn't. Platinum NG was still very good but not quite the same. Still an excellent action game overall though.

>>725559329
How long is the game if I dont 100% it? $70 for a 10 hour game is kinda steep

>>725550419
>YNGZ = DmC
They're both kusokino.

>>725549334 (OP)
This game is simply harder than black on normal. Everyone here is laying and playing it in heroe mode.

>>725552190
It happens but you just press jump and it corrects.

>>725559506
It depends on how much you enjoy the combat and want to come back to it. I'm still not done with my MN playthrough, currently at 50 hours played.

They fucked up the difficulty curve. Looks like it's yet another game where the beginning is brutally hard but gets easier the further in you get. I bet most people drop it after an hour

>>725560252
It gets easier for 2 reasons: you get better and then you unlock the toolbox.

>>725559506
I got 40 hours in it. I played through it once on hard mode and then did about half of MN in chapter challenge. I did the boss trials but not the combat trials. Just burned out now but I'll probably come back and finish MN at some point when the dlc happens. There's plenty of content in the game, it just comes down to what you want to get out of it. My first run on hard was at least 30 of those 40 hours.

>>725552190
Holy shit this game is literally just like NG2!

>>725560252
that's called "learning"

As I play Ninja Gaiden 2 on Master Ninja difficulty, I realize that to truly get good at this game, beyond just cheesing where you can to get by, and to even begin to properly, REALLY understand it, likely requires an outlier high IQ, maybe even bordering on genius. That or some kind of natural talent. The few times I've actually been good I felt were purely by accident, but there's no systematic and understandable approch I can apply to this game to actually get by. I don't know if I will straight up give up on this game, but I will certainly give up on treating it like a challenge or a goal. I suspect I'm ultimately just not cut out for it.

>>725560554
Im on mission 10 havent seen this toolbox mentionated?

>>725561640
It's the 4th weapon for Yakumo, you will get it soon enough.

>>725560554
The toolbox is good? I only used it on flying enemies

>>725563990
Yeah I think it's overpowered simply because you can break armor from a distance. Y attacks seem to be quite powerful too.

>>725549334 (OP)
>Forgotten
We get NG4 threads every day.

>>725564068
All of his weapons can do that with their blood ranged attack.

>>725564765
Eh, I get what you're saying, but it's simply not the same. Charged swords still have limited range, I don't remember a lot of ranged options on the hammer, even the shotgun projectile doesn't seem to reach far, the drill can get you across the screen but you are still in the face of the enemy. With the box you can just shoot shit from across the whole area.

They didn't even program the fucking softlock correctly it FUCKING SUCKS DICK

>>725553613
>>725553892
Seems like he was wrong, since the game flopped.

>program ryu to attack whoever is closest to him
>they find some way to fuck that up
you can't even make this shit up. A 2008 game has a better engine than this 2025 release WOW

>>725565175
Too much whiffing in this webm, I thought this game is supposed to have suck to target?

0:09 what the fuck is this garbage

>>725565450
You're changing the target when rotating the camera.

>>725565583
yeah that's fucking retarded, shoot whoever thought that was a good idea thanks they didn't ask people who actually played these games for 20 years

>>725565450
ng2 doesn't always attack the closest enemy either. you're malding because you haven't figured out the mechanics and refuse to use the hard lock which is made for situations like that

>ng2 doesn't always attack the closest enemy either
yes it does zoom zoom

>>725565635
Works fine on my end, I find it easy to change targets on the fly with the right analog stick.

>>725561142
it's just luck. no one is great at ng2, just some people are either better at mitigating the bad luck or willing to throw themselves at the same fight hundreds of times

>>725553892
Reviving dead genres is a fools gambit, they're dead for a reason. Reinvent hack and slash instead or reviving it
>nooo it's not called hack and slash
and don't let people who say shit like this anywhere near it

only fiend busa can save ng4 atp

>>725565709
it doesn't. it also considers what the enemy is doing and where the camera is pointing among other things

>>725565038
The sword waves and drill shot both have decent reach but the hammer's isn't great. I'm talking about about the blood "circle" moves if that wasn't clear. The dual sword's one is actually pretty quick but yeah, the box is still the best at range.

>>725565849
he already made retarded changes to the blocking system because his dick-riders think he has a master level understanding of this game he's barely played. he doesn't have good ideas.

>>725565986
what did he do to the blocking system? did he add guard buffer because this game needs it as fuck

>>725549334 (OP)
I was willing to pay 60 bucks to Microsoft but 70? I'm not a premium gamer.

>>725549334 (OP)
can you play it without a controller ?

>they put a boss in a purgatory gate
this isn't fair, it's the huge fat pos with huge aoe attacks too, there's barely enough room to avoid damage.

>>725566172
Kagachi is EZ anon.

>>725565986
He didn't force any changes though, it's all in the options. And to me the parry windows are really obviously terrible so it's a good idea to have the ability to add another parry frame.
Which reminds me, I'll have to ask him to add a no essence option.

>>725566150
there's keyboard support yeah. No idea how good it actually feels though.

>Your non perfect blocks will still count towards your blocks which act as your stamina bar if you fail to perfect parry between hits. I think I had 9 here or something but i just whipped this up in 5 minutes so probably some bugs haha (this is different than the ng4 blue mod i released earlier -> code has different logic) but is compatible. Im using the default 3.0 value in this video. So if you hold just block without timing it, it will have normal perfect block (without the stun) but will count towards your block amount per say. Just thought it was cool as all it took was nop'ing 2 instructions lol but it can be expanded on very easily.

It's a husk of a game. Most of the levels feel like placeholder assets stuck in random patterns. The whole thing feels cheap.

The aesthetics are incredibly generic vaguely surreal action slop. The characters are non entities but won't shut the fuck up during missions.

The middle third of the game is a load of boring shit.

>>725565583
nta but I feel like it's not based on the camera really but rather the left stick.
If you stop pushing the stick in every direction for no reason at all the targetting feels a lot better. You can actually check what the softlock targets now, and you can see that it's based on the movement stick.

>>725566802
it feels cheap because it is

>>725566802
If you want your criticisms to be taken seriously, you need to stop using the word "slop". I agree with radio chatter being annoying by the way.

>>725549334 (OP)
I'm a completionist autist so I can't play the latest sequel without the other games. And there's a million versions of them.

>>725561142
yeah just chain UTs, so smart.

>>725566524
>He didn't force any changes though, it's all in the options.
that's an awful way to design a game. maybe ng2 should have the option to turn off enemy grabs and IS shuriken.
>And to me the parry windows are really obviously terrible so it's a good idea to have the ability to add another parry frame.
they're difficult on purpose. countering in ngb is difficult because of how rewarding it is. most people complain about things like intercept or UT looping breaking the game.

>>725566172
he only has one health bar, it's not that bad.

>>725565761
I don't know, I'm not sure of that. The fact that there is a potential way the situations you encounter could pan out well tells me that maybe there would be a right way to deal with it, however not obvious it is.
>>725567204
What part of "beyond just cheesing" did you not understand?

>>725554746
because its fun

>>725556373
disingenuous faggot. how about you suck to target onto my cock?

>>725565853
go back and play it and then return to this thread and apologize

>>725568220
ok i played it and i was right about everything

>>725568323
if by right you mean completely and objectively wrong then yeah I you're right. I'll be back later to completely [g]rape you

>>725557895
5 time more fun

>>725567679
There's nothing cheesy about UT chaining, it's a fully intended mechanic they let in almost every games.

>>725555371
Its a shame. I just finished the game on normal and I loved the Spider-man sequence and wanted to talk about it.

>>725549334 (OP)
It was too good for modern souls audiences.

>>725568975
the what? the grappling hook swinging?

>Chapter 12 on Master Ninja
Holy kino, fuck all the ninja dogs who bitched about it being too hard. Not even the hardest MN in the series.

>>725567317
Well it's a mod, you can do whatever you want in your mod..
>they're difficult on purpose. countering in ngb is difficult
I find counters in all NGs very easy to execute, it's just in 4 where it's too narrow.
But they had to make it narrow because it's just a single button now, where in the previous games you couldn't attack while going for a parry. It was just better all around. I would be enjoying 4 a lot less if not for the rolling parry tech.

>>725569158
The ending sequence at the end. It reminds me of Spider-man 2's ending

>>725568971
I guess. Maybe I just suck particularly bad at it then, I'll try to be more cognizant of it and the essance drops as I dive into the crowds of is ninjas, but when there are those and the grey ninjas spam raping you with both normal and incendiary shurkans it's rough.

I know this is the shitpost thread, but this game got me interested in the rest of series. Is the master collection on steam good enough? Heard that the second game wasn't very good but 1 and 3 were fine ports.

>Disable visual aids for off screen enemies
>Perfect parry everything in my way
I am now John Ninja Gaiden.

>>725569451
Yeah it's good, you can just mod the 2nd game in the master collection to be better on PC too.

>>725568781
if you like t-girls that is

I get raped even when aiming for essence ut's. I just suck infinite dick at this game.

>>725569229
>But they had to make it narrow because it's just a single button now,
having to also hold LT in the previous games didn't make it harder. a lot of the time it's easier that way because it saves you with a block if you mistime it.
>where in the previous games you couldn't attack while going for a parry.
you can definitely attack and then hold block during the attack animation which would let you attempt a parry

>>725569290
I was being facetious, and also dunking on UTs as I just hate this mechanic.
yeah NG2 is too brutal and not in a good way or even an intended way as we know they rushed the game out and didn't properly test MNM.
If you really want to beat it then you will have to "cheese" with UTs though, there's really no other ways. Even the best NG2 players I know of they only do stylish run (no UT spam) in MNM on the first few levels, not in the later chapters, and they're among the best players.

>>725565507
haha, stupid platinum couldn't even get that right!

>>725569624
>Even the best NG2 players I know of they only do stylish run (no UT spam) in MNM on the first few levels,
So there is a reason why those levels only pop up! And here I thought NG2 was lacking in environnement.

>>725569451
get the master collection and play through the 3 games as-is
if you get very obsessive about replaying the games, you can fuck with emulators or mods or something. that's not worth thinking about until you've actually played the game once, though

>no new OLTO no damage video in 5 days
Yeah, this nigga got stuck on chapter 5-6. Those are so brutal.

>>725549334 (OP)
gamers bitch and moan on the internet for gameplay focused, non cinematic, fun linear games but don't show up for them when they actually get made.

>>725569795
But I bought it

>>725569612
>you can definitely attack and then hold block during the attack animation which would let you attempt a parry
yeah that's the parry tech I'm talking about, where you hit X then Y then block and then BR really quickly almost at the same time and this extend the parry window by a lot and should be BR block if you mistime it. But if you can do stuff like this in the first place then maybe the parry windows shouldn't have been this narrow in the first place..

>>725569732
they do the levels with ninjas because stunlocking the larger enemies looks and feels like shit

>>725549334 (OP)
>they sacrificed Itagaki for literally nothing
This game deserves to fail

>>725569624
>not in the later chapters
That's just because those chapters mostly suck ass and have you fighting crappy enemies.
The reason stylish play in 2 are like 95% seen on chapters 1, 2 and 11 is because those are like the only great chapters from start to finish so they are the most fun. You see a handful of other fights too across the game, but those three chapters are the most consistently good in the game.

>>725550419
NG = DMC1
NG2 = DMC2
NG3 = DMC3

Devil's Third = W:D

Wanted: Dead = Shit

>>725569858
i was talking about the xbox games. you can hold block during an attack in those games, which saves you if the attack is blockable and lets you go for counters. that's significantly more difficult than pianoing 4 buttons hoping one of them deflects and then reacting with a counter

70 hours in, this game is action kino and GOTY.

>>725569836
I'm sure a lot of us ITT did, but the truth is it's simply not enough. oh well.

>>725556373
>NG fans are only dick riding ecelebs
Eceleb in question.

>>725570014
Thank you Hayabusa.

I just got to the Ryu part, but, WTF happened before that?
Misaki was a fiend? Or turned into a fiend? the cut scene didn't make that clear

Am I low IQ if I stuggle massively on NG2 on MN or is it just normal? I can't tell if I'm actually legit bone headed and retarded.

>>725570280
Misaki was the fiend Achilles who had disguised himself as Misaki and ingratiated himself into the Raven Clan as their tactical advisor to use Yakumo to break the seals on the Dark Dragon.

>>725566046
Guard buffers exist still.

>>725570389
It's normal

>>725570389
Of course that's normal, it's Master Ninja, you're supposed to struggle, even struggle massively. It's known for that.

>>725559521
Is there a list of official kusokino games?

>>725569579
I see no tranny but you fools

>>725570389
completely normal it is ridiculously difficult.

>>725570014
>GOTY
It definitely is for me as well. Although the only other game I've bothered with from this year was Wilds, which was and still is total garbage that not even the expansion could make me like.
>>725570280
he was always a fiend. "Misaki" was just his cover.

>>725569931

>>725556715
So is it boring or is it tryhard

It’s a niche series, good at what it does so it keeps fans happy but hardly a mass appeal kinda game. There’s nothing wrong with that, either, knowing your audience and giving them what they want is a good approach.

>>725571537
Tbh, was J-Action ever NOT niche?
>DMCV
This game's existence is uplifted by sheer meme culture and Vergil glazing.

Trying karma run, looked at the leaderboards and see these fags with 300 mil plus karma. Are these fags cheating, I see they have an insane combo is there tech that doesn't reset combo like maneuvering with block?

>>725549334 (OP)
I had fun with it, I don't play many of those games so I don't know why that flopped, but I thought it was decent for sure
like bayonetta or mgr but without the annoying qtes

>>725572746
Instead of QTE you have rail grinding, that's much better.

>>725549334 (OP)
They made a game worse than base NG3

>>725565235
truly hard games don't sell well with normie souls players

>>725572872
>Instead of QTE you have rail grinding, that's much better.
This is the modern ng “fan” lol

>>725573046
?
NG didn't have QTE (except 3 but I didn't play it anyway)

>>725572872
meh, rail grinding phases were more open later on with some secrets to find and you'd still have to react to whatever was coming in front of you, it's not just a prompt that appears out of nowhere and that you have to mash
not the most interesting, but still less annoying than qtes imo

>>725572746
Nobody really has any sales numbers, you just have people that somehow how think day one concurrent Steam users somehow equals how much it sold. There's first week physical JP sales but again, that's not really enough data in the digital age. It probably wasn't a massive success because they'd likely announce if millions of copies were sold but the point is that we don't really know exactly how it did.

Ryu is not the main character

>combo
You didn't beat the game

>>725573653
Okay, Farnham

>>725570389
at that point the game is kind of fucked and you should cheese as hard as possible. don't avoid exploits. it's not playing fair and neither should you.

Managed to get Master Ninja on chapter 12 even with 0.5 negative from dying too much. Didn't use items and with some good Berserk UTs with the staff you get crazy points.

>>725573653
Doing the launch combo into inferno ninpo juggle on Alma is super fun though.
nuNGfags just want to play souls but still pretend to like action games for the niche internet clout. Embarrassing really

>>725549334 (OP)
i couldn't beat the flying boss and dropped it

Did Kagachi survived? Dude is too cool to be killed.
>>725574238
Not this other anon, but the more I hear about 2, the less I want to play it.
I'll probablt do NGB after I'll finish 4MN.

>>725567829
So you admit ruffling feathers is more entertaining than interactive digital entertainment.

>>725575002
there's different versions of ng2. sigma 2 is more of a normal game based on ngb, but the grab damage is pretty stupid and you sometimes don't do enough damage. black 2 is inbetween.

>>725549334 (OP)

I'm curious about the DLC, what's the last time platinum got money to actually do that? Fucking MGR?
Hopefully platinum is actually working on it right now so it can actually incorporate feedback.

>>725577269
>MGR
Probably. I know Bayonetta 2, 3 and Astral Chain didn't get any. Not sure about nier because I didn't play it.

>>725577269
>Fucking MGR?
And both of the time, it was not on their bankroll.
I hope we get some Kagachi or Ayane levels, even if they have a way smaller moveset than Ryukumo.
But, to be a little more serious.
>At least 3 new weapons for Ryu.
>Probably no Ranged or new Ninpos because I don't see any tabs for them (RIP)
>More accessories
>NOT Bloody Palace
>Epilogue missions, hopefully in sunny Tokyo.
>Maybe new moves? Its not unheard of.

>>725577782
I think we're only getting the two new weapons we saw in the key art unfortunately. The way they talked about the future content in that one interview they did made it sound like that.
I do hope they add new moves though, should be easy for the Dragon Sword/Dark Dragon Blade

are these supposed to be DLC achievements?

>>725578306
Are we doing the entire alphabet?

>>725569218
Chapter 12 is the only level I had over 10 deaths on in Master Ninja

>>725570014
Wuchang is my GOTY I think but NG4 is close and definitely the best action game this year. It'll be some bullshit if it doesn't win that category at TGA

>>725578149
>I think we're only getting the two new weapons we saw in the key art unfortunately. The way they talked about the future content in that one interview they did made it sound like that.
Heh, that would suck.

>>725577679
DLC are for pussy

>>725582880
Agreed. Vanilla 3 was better.

>>725584338
This but unironically.

GG

It was already dead, mork just pissed on its corpse.
It's a game made for nobody. It doesn't have the cinematic flair and goofy story tied to a beloved IP like MGR or DMC games made after 3. It doesn't feature an attractive woman on screen at all times (I think bayo looked ugly in B1 but that's just me). And it didn't have any connection to the previous games besides FS, UT, WR, GT, ID still being things in the game. Uh I guess Ryu is in there for a bit with most of his moves and kit missing.
It's just whatever slop platinum was working on before KT approached them and then they reskinned it somewhat. It's not a BAD game but it doesn't really shine in any particular area that would lend itself to a particular audience. The art direction sucks, the checkpoint system sucks, the OST sucks (worst of Borba, he phoned it in). It's just a pile of meh

>>725566802
It pains me to admit that all of this is true.

A lot of the cooler levels don't last long enough like the underworld sections. The exploration has been neutered but a few levels showed that level interactivity could really improve the experience the long rope in the mountain levels is a good example. The toolbox is a bunch of weapons shoved into it with no proper way to use any of them and it trivializes a bunch of fights. There's nothing to unlock and while Ryu is fun to play he's only in the game for about 5 minutes but his levels were more fun because of less babbling from the other characters. If the other characters are never going to show up why do they constantly feel the need to remind Yakumo of things he already knows. Ayane shows up, fully modeled with swords and a proper fighting stance and everything, and they do nothing with her. I'm fairly certain she's here to sucker people with sex appeal and Ninja Gaiden is the title of the game.

More importantly this game is $70 dollars + $20 dollars for the DLC that was announced before the game came out. The price is too steep for such a straightforward game that is too difficult for most and with nothing waiting for them at the end. They didn't even think to give Yakumo a dark doppelganger skin for beating the game on MN.

>>725570014
For me it's either SilkSong or NG4. SilkSong is amazing, but it's far from being as replayable as ng4, and also 3d combat > 2d combat by default.

>>725565507
He sucks to the wrong target. Shartinum thought "middle of the screen is where player want to go"

>>725560791
Good games stay challenging after you learn them.

>>725549334 (OP)
It's Astral Gaiden 4 and that's a good thing

>>725549334 (OP)
Too much button to push, could be a lot simpler to bh, like removing raven form and battle tech for example, weapon upgrade also a bunch of button again, sigh, chapter 4 rn

>>725587080
If you suck the wrong one it sounds to me like a (You) problem. You can control the lock on. I know this board has a rageboner for Platinum so I'm not surprised in the least by these threads.

>>725587259
It does stay challenging, and it is rewarding to feel how much you have improved.

>>725587259
no not really
if it's unlearnable then it's probably random

>>725565507
it does but it only magnets to one target, it actually impedes you from hitting multiple targets. enemies also slide around like bars of soap and Ryu has slightly less magnetic slop than Yakumo.
Yakumo will literally move across the whole arena.

I also wanna point out the wiffing in this webm is happening because the brainrotted player has been conditioned by modern slop to play like a retard. He has been coddled to ignore positioning and just mash attack when he's 500 miles away. if this were NG1,2,3 before you do a regular attack you would dash and weave into a target or use another mobility move to position yourself.

>>725588082
I'm confused what you think learning is.

>>725588169
I don't know about you, I'd just go for >XY

It's better than 99% of modern vidya but worse than every NG before it and suffers from two severe flaws:

-Ryu isn't the protagonist, instead it's Literally Who: Homosexual Edition

-Webm related

>>725588169
>moves across t he whole arena
>whiffs
so which is it?

>>725588798
We need a mod that removes all the yellow paint

>it's worse than Yaiba
>it's worse than NG3 (specially release)
>it's worse than all the 2D titles
Ninja please.

>>725589079
I forgot Yaiba existed and wasn't counting the 2D titles you faggot, but yes, it's worse than NG3.

>>725589173
It's not. Arguably 3RE is better, but 4 is way way better than vanilla 3.

>>725588864
you can't read.

>>725589648
That's dishonest.
3RE is the basis they had to build off. platinum knew of the games existence, they even ripped animations and ported Ryu (he's gutted and missing a shit ton but he is ported from 3RE) from specifically that build because it's the latest build team ninja had.
then they managed to make a far worse game than the latest one in the trilogy.

>>725588667
liz is difficult
you can learn which attacks can be punished and how to bait those attacks

then it doesn't feel difficult any more because you've learned a solution

They cucked Ryu out of his own franchise for like a 3rd time in a row.

>What went wrong?
Microsoft is publisher so the male gaze is toned down and no one wants that.

Seori is a fully clothed shibari. Some cleavage doesn't compare to past games.

Ayane is wearing hero-shooter costume lol.

>>725589079
Farnham believes this unironically

>>725592220
post ng1 ayane next to ng4 ayane
post kureha next to seori

>>725592971
NG1 ayane is 15 or some shit and appears for like 15 seconds total

NG1 = DMC1 timeless classic

NG2 = DMC3 unhinged peak of the series

NG3 = Such a castrated fuckup doesn't have an equivalent in DMC. The closest it gets is the DmC reboot, pandering to casual subhumans.
And NG3 Razor's Edge was a slapdash apology like DmC Definitive Edition was.

NG4 = DMC4 but more offensive since Nero had 1 weapon while Dante had an entire arsenal and they shared the game 50/50; In NG4 the replacement faggot has an entire arsenal while Ryu is the one stuck with a single weapon and the game is "split" 80% Yakumo's favor.
DLC will add more fluff to it like DMC4:SE did but the overall game will still be a schizophrenically assembled freak.
People will still mod it and play it for the longest time since it has lots of combo potential and interesting mechanics.

Devil’s Turd = dogshit

YNGZ = DmC in a sense that it's a potty mouthed western dogshit but the game is as "enjoyable" as DMC2.

Wanted: Dead = niggershit. Mork kill yourself.

No DMC5 equivalent, sorry. NG4 definitely isn't the return to form. Rather, it's what will stagnate the franchise at best, like DMC4, or it will outright kill it.

What I am reading?

What accessories are actually worth it?
I can't tell what/if the Dodge or "Backlash Parry" accessories are doing anything.
also, any kino combos? i haven't been able to dump hours into training room yet

it lacked gameplay density

path of mentor test of valor 1 on ng2 is driving me insane. It feels like one mistake and I just get raped

real ninja gaiden fans say this btw
>ninja gaiden is garbage
>NG1 is clunkslop
>NG2 is the worst game in the entire series
>NG3 is the best game in the entire series
>NG4 is the new best game in the entire series
>itagaki is a hack
>hayashi is GOD and all sigma games are better
>lock on is a core mechanic of ninja gaiden
>ryu is a bitch
>chadkumo mog ryu
>be grateful to platinum chud
>trans rights!
if you don't say this you aren't a real ninja gaiden fan

At this point I think I should reject modernity (3D Ninja Gaiden) and embrace tradition (NES Ninja Gaiden).

>"NG4 bosses aren't NG bosses because they're too reactive"
>fight fat guy in Sigma 1, first real boss
>wait for the grab, short combo, repeat
alright

>>725597264
it's amazing how people will memorize an AI loop to shut down half the bosses in the first few games and then complain that ng4 isn't dynamic enough

>midwits literally can't understand the difference between fundamental neutral game to simon says glow red and do the bloodsloppa
grim

>>725597616
I will say though they're not BAD action adventure bosses, they're pretty good so far, better than my faded memory of a single normal mode playthrough back in 2008. My memory of 2's bosses was much more vivid because I played it a lot more but Sigma's bosses are better, at least early on.
4 > 1 = 3 > 2, probably, in terms of boss fights.

>>725598080
great bait, I'm fuming, shitting my pants in rage right now

>>725598080
check this sick neutral. godlike. OD.

hold this mix. where's your curly mustache

>>725598976
Figuring out the loop takes more brain than anything in NG 4, and the execution is also harder than anything despite the latter being a combotranny autism game

>>725550419
NG = SF2 KINO game focusing on neutral
NG2 = SF2T LVDO KINO fast-paced neutral
NG3 = SF5 sloppa that killed the franchise, only kiddies first game in the franchise like it
NG4 = SF6 more automated neutral skip sloppa made for zoomoids

>>725599154
stream yourself playing master ninja

Combat Trial 7 as Yakumo drained the fuck out of me, holy shit. I'm gonna take a long break from this game until the DLC comes out. These "one type of weapon only" trials are not fun.

>>725600287
Then do it as Ryu. Easy way to unlock a weapon buff to use in the single weapon mission on Master Ninja. Or the other way around, do the single weapon mission to unlock another weapon buff and use it for the trial.
Unless there's an unlock for doing every trial with both characters, that would make sense.

Cvit dropped. What will this midwit say next?

>>725600369
I did beat trial 7 as Yakumo. It just drained me out after I finally did it. It must've taken me 50 tries or something. Just for consistency sake, I want to finish all the trials with Yakumo, and then do it with Ryu.
