Could Ninja Gaiden 4 beat Expedition 33 for Best Score and Best Audio Design? Seems like the only clear competitor.
>>725763326Silksong has better sound design (just slightly better than E33)Earthion is the actual OSTOTY.
The shitty buttrock in the samurai fight made me laugh out loud so I sure hope not. I can't believe Platinum is so bankrupt they couldn't help but add this stupid DMC shit to NG. They even got the singer for it. At least have actual metal instead of garbage.
>>725764403this is the first 3D ninja gaiden game with decent music
>>725764403>please give boomer ass metal to a MC that looks like a 15-17 yo twinkAre you fucking serious?
>>725764556Previous titles were doing fine with music, you don't like them because they were too videogamey.
Platnium fucking doesn't get it. They dont understand that Ninja Gaiden isn't cringe weeb anime shit and couldn't help themselves but add this faggy try hard shit into NG.
>>725766252Worked for Nier and Metal Gear.
>>725763326Audio Design will probably go to that new multiplayer game, from the Digital Foundry video the audio is really spectacular.
>>725764403Platinum kind of started it. It was more DMC5 doing the Platinum thing than Platinum only now doing the DMC5 thing.But I agree it's not very good, the instrumental tracks are the best.
>>725764782the best music in the series is from the NES games and the best song in 4 is a remix of one of thosethe xbox games weren't even gamey, they were cinematic in the blandest way, like a middle-of-the-road marvel movie
>>725766551The vocals don't hit as good as they did in MGR for sure. The D.D.O. Commander song vocals start good in my opinion but somewhere it starts sounding off and different from the rest of the song. It's not for all tracks since the vocals of the final boss seem good all the way to me.
>>725766252>Ninja Gaiden isn't cringe weeb anime shitIt literally is, down to Ryu being a silent anime protagonist who has even less characterization than he does in the fucking NES games and titty monster ninja women walking around in scantily clad bikini armor. Youre just an outrage addicted retard
>>725766252yeah that's why i stick with ng2, the game where your epic destined rival keeps challenging you to sword duels until you defeat him and get the special jewel that unlocks your omega powered up form to kill god
>>725767703Having a character who isn't try hard cringe isn't anime. It's Enter the Dragon. Itagaki was inspired by american kung fu flicks and is a westaboo.
>>725763326TO FIGHT FOR THE SAME CAUSE, AS ENEMIES!
>>725768402>Itagaki wasNot the only guy to work on these games. I swear, you and your celebrity worship ilks are the reason why Kojima and Miyazaki (the Dark Soul guy, not sure about his name) are so overexposed.
>>725769191So it's just a coincidence that after he left NG3 and 4 dont feel like NG games at all?
>>725763326Ng4's boss tracks were so lame, how do you go from mgr to this
>>725769392No, that's just you being a massive pansy
>>7257693922 doesn't feel like Black. Black doesn't feel like the NES games.
>>725769547And the nes games aren't like the arcade game
>>725769518you're the pansy>>725769547yes it does
>>725769547Speaking of the NES game, its so funny they are known for introducing Cutscenes and a scenario beyond "save the girl".
>>725769671great retort retardblack is deliberately paced and your entire moveset is valuable. it's lean and efficient.2 has to let you i-frame spam 24/7 and makes every enemy die in 2 hits because they decided to make musou shit where you have 12 jillion combos that are all worthless because they aren't invincible instant kills3 and 4 attempt to revert back to how 1 worked btw because it's better
>>7257693924 is obviously different with it being a different studio and everything, but why do you think 3 doesn't feel like Ninja Gaiden when it comes to aesthetic? Curious to know. It does feel different, but to me the differences are much more tech related, 3 feels like a different engine or something. But it still feels like Ninja Gaiden to me.
>>725769971>3 and 4 attempt to revert back to how 1 worked btw because it's betterNever played 3, but are you sure about 4? After all, its still has Obliterations.
>>7257701673 has obliterations but it also has enemies you can't kill in 2 hits. they nerfed the fuck out of all the broken tools from 2 and gave you better strings and defensive options. it's an attempt at fixing the missteps.
>>725769971>because it's betterYeah, having to hit an enemy more times for no reason other than "variety" sure is better. NG2 with just XXYBY is more complex than 3 and 4 combined.
>>725770424UT's are more broken in 3 then they've ever been, and 360Y is the best tool in the game. Also you're splitting hairs about minute mechanical differences. The difference in tone, style, and atmosphere in NG3 and 4 is obvious. Which is what a director is responsible for. Do you see Ryu crying like a bitch about some hoe? Or feeling remorse about killing? Do you have characters constantly quiping in your ear and being annoying during missions? No.
>>725770597nta and I wouldn't change a thing about NG2 (and dislike Sigma for the changes it brought) but I also wouldn't want every game since NG2 just being NG2-2 and NG2-3. I'm in favor of them making those changes instead of just releasing NG2 map packs and weapon packs in the form of new games.There isn't much else you can take NG2's gameplay loop without abandoning the core philosophy of "quick to dispatch enemies, but their strength is in overwhelming you with numbers."You need more leeway.
>>725771085>Do you see Ryu crying like a bitch about some hoe? Or feeling remorse about killing? Do you have characters constantly quiping in your ear and being annoying during missions? No.Good thing it was Yakumo.
>>725771085>Do you see Ryu crying like a bitch about some hoe? Or feeling remorse about killing?Localization issue
>>725771085Honestly I'd cry if a bitch as hot as Seori who was clearly into me died without me having nutted in her first.
>>725773105She's clearly not into some fag twink who isn't even disciplined and principled enough to just murder her.
>>725773302Kagachi hand typed this
>>725773302When you see her demeanor around Ryu you can clearly see she wanted Yakumo to go balls deep.
>>725770597>NG2 with just XXYBYyeah i love ryu magnetizing to the nearest enemy and delimbing into an automated kill cutscene. i'll definitely do that for 20 years and never play anything else. you don't even really do XXYBY unless you're specifically handicapping yourself by not spamming GT/OT or more abusive shit like talons forward+Y or talons FS izuna
>>725763326Only thing NG4 is winning is a "You Tried" award before the it fades from the thoughts of everyone and the series doesn't see another entry for 7+ years or ever again
>>725771085>Do you see Ryu crying like a bitch about some hoe? Or feeling remorse about killing? Do you have characters constantly quiping in your ear and being annoying during missions?damn you're right, it's the story that really makes ng2 shine.
>>725773783Is this a bot? His string literally includes an OT, retarded faggot. Stop repeating shit you read in these threads without ever having played any of the games yourself, shitskin. Get a job.
>Its another 4chan seethe at Ng4 episode.Yawn.
>>725773970should've said GT/UT/OT as in you kill the first enemy by mashing X+A, kill another 3 with the essence he dropped and then another 2 who were delimbed by the UT. i figured that was just understood though.
>>725774417This is a shit use of essence unless you're using the Tonfa, XXYBY implies Dragon Sword, level 1 UT with the DS sucks.
>>725774751have you played the game lmao. mission 1 MN you're absolutely going to spam UTs.in mission 2 you get the talons to abuse for a much faster delimb to OT
so wait, 2faggots were dick riding 2 all this time just because you don't have to "hit an enemy more times for no reason"? what the actual fuck lol
Ryu should get at least two weapons for the DLC.To be honest, I kinda miracle they were able to do 4 weapons from scratch.
>>725775192Not level 1 UT, it's worthless with the Dragon Sword. Level 2 is not that great either but at least it's a kill.
>>725776053>it's worthlessit's fully invincible and the delimbed enemies can then be OTed for more invincibility
>>725768402Wouldn't being a westaboo mean that they love trannies and niggers
>>725776361So is a GT and you're not wasting essence on it. If you can't generate essence from your UT, it's a waste of resources. Worthless.
>>725773357
>>725776361NTA but It barely even delimbs dude. The only use for it is that it leaves enemies grounded, so you can use Flying Swallow while they're in that state for an instakill.
They're doing this to me tomorrow.
>>725764556Most NG music is pretty average or fine, but the main theme of NG3 is a clear standouthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdUCv_lpOEs
Blackened rain beckons our bloodline'sAmends!
TO GOON TO THE SAME HENTAI, AS ENEMIES
>>725776576Myself, I would be fine with this one
>>725777101Kagachi vs Yakumo is basically a big dong vs grower showdown.
tfw you will never ever have a game with NG3 combat mechanics, NG Black level design, and NG2 enemy encounter design
>>725777130Is he ok?
>>725776756It sounds like something out of Uncharted. I mean this in a good way.I like this one a lot too:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgc2ZzOqlnk
>>725777353Good, we don't deserve it.
>>725777413MYSTERY NIGGA theme
>>725777413>>725776756Ninja Gaiden 3 was so weird until you remember that it was released in the Spec Ops the Line era.
Uncharted ruined gaming, few know this.
>>725777413That one just sounds like a lamer version of Alexei's theme to me.This one is the best theme in the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zrSirwGGi4
>>725777905I wish gaming was ruined by short linear action games. The Last of Us was the one that did irreparable damage to the industry.
>>725764403>>725766551I'm glad someone is noticing this. Nu-Platinum's style is very generic. Old Platinum has a somewhat westaboo style that made Bayo 1, Vanquish, and MGR awesome. The buttrock in MGR is different from the buttrock in NG4. The NG4 buttrock is right out of some commercials for fotm shonen animes.Also, I know you guys are talking about the music, but artstyle-wise it's the same thing. Like with NG1 and 2, we basically had a Western fantasy with a ninja protagonist, it was cool as fuck seeing ninjas and samurais in the same setting as naked lady demons straight out of fantasy illustrations. Now in NG4 we have these harmless toy-like designs, it just isn't the same.
>>725778513In what way Ryu flying on a rock is western fantasy?
>>725778513Don't really agree. I'm literally playing NGS right now and fighting toy enemies that even sound like dropping toys when you izuna drop them.Yeah the fiends were cool but so are the Daemons in 4. I think the enemy design in 4 is excellent.
>>725763326The moral takeaway from Ninja Gaiden 4 is you need to be nice to hot, big tiddy girlsThat is Yakumo's character arc
Dark Dragon Niggas WW@???
>>725778840>Moral takeawayLaaaaaame
>>725764556Ninja Gaiden Black has a banger OST. I can hear the Aqueduct theme just thinking about it.
Ryu is a big Elton John fan, Murai told me so.
>>725778739>FilenameThey look metallic though. Also, lmao their thighs armor are clipping.
are dual swords any good in 3? didn't like them in 1 or 2
>>725778620I'm saying it's a mix and that's what made it awesome. Look at the fiends and vigoor and shit, there's a clear western fantasy influence. Just look at Rachel, she's basically a heavy metal cover, but with a Japanese shoulder armor. You don't see that with NG4.>>725778739Also you picked the worst of the worst from NG1, most enemies are way cooler than that guy.
I wish the DDB wasn't a copy of Ryu's moveset....I kinda hate how it replace's Yakumo's gimmick with Ryu's gleam.
>>725779332Yeah, all the weapons are amazing in 3, only Talons might actually be stronger in 2 since you can just spam THAT MOVE and win.
>>725779427You can tell Ryu came into development late and it was actually him getting the DDB moveset and Gleam instead of the other way around.
>>725779416Tbh, I could see the early 2000 action movie influence. In fact, Devil May Cry add it, with all that leather and monster slaying.But truth to be told, I am glad NG4 was not based on 2020 action movies lmao. In fact, I like the dirty Cyberpunk look they went for.
>>725779743I don't see that. The moveset is full of Ryu's signature moves. If they made the sword for Yakumo instead of just reusing existing animation data for a story power up they'd base the moveset on the heavier DDB moveset from Black.
>>725766252>They dont understand that Ninja Gaiden isn't cringe weeb anime shitThat's bait
>>725779904>they'd base the moveset on the heavier DDB moveset from Black.This is what they should have done imo. Hot takes, but gleam is lame.
>>725778739I liked the plastic niggas in NGB and also like the "mecha" samurais in NG4, I just love toy-looking guys.
>>725780001Right but they didn't even make it a permanent addition to Yakumo's moveset in the story, it's supposed to disappear after the one moment you use it. Who knows if you'll even be able to use it in the DLC on a first playthrough, wouldn't surprise me if they lock it until NG+.They just reused stuff they already had for Ryu for a story moment. They couldn't justify a whole new weapon only for that but they thought a hacked together weapon would be cooler than a cutscene weapon.
>>725780096Casshern Sins action game when
>>725780096I commend that. In this day and age were people decry over the top action as silly, seeing NG4 roll out its goofy soldiers and then make everything around them in a earnest and uncondescending manner is a bliss.
>>725766252You are aesthetic-pilled and don't let those clueless faggots tell you otherwise.
>>725780246I wish, we seriously need some tokusatsu-inspired action games again, more indie devs need to hop off the roguelite, metroidvania and souls bus and bring us some PS2 era SOVL like Kijutsu Riderhttps://store.steampowered.com/app/3474960/Kijutsu_Rider/
>>725766252>isn't cringe weeb animeIt's kino weeb tokusatsu
>>725780890This looks fucking awesome KEK
>>725780001it's meant to aggressively parallel ryu in ng1. getting the magatama jewel shit in that game unlocked his teleport spam powers, so the same thing happens with yak'they're conveying that he's master ninja level in gameplay
>>725763326Yes easily. Genuinely goty but this year has been pretty shit >ing4 college of mediocre garbage with metacritic scores
>>725779416>most enemies are way cooler than that guy.Yes like cat lady
>>725781373Well, it was lost on me because NG4 is my firsy Ninja Gaiden.
I don't think he likes the DDB
>>725763326>best scoreThe only track in NG4 that got my attention was the one playing when you reached the big elevator with Ryu, because it blended elements from one of the NES tracks with the main menu theme from NG2. First time they've musically referenced the NES games as far as I know. Does anyone know the name of this NG4 track?
The evil dark dragon blade.
