How is this the greatest action game of all time? This shit is fucking ass
>>719953847Because you suck ass, nigga. Just fucking jump over the worm's attack. This isn't DMC. Enemies aren't just gonna stand there and wait for you to combo them. Block, faggot. Fucking BLOCK.
>>719953953Yeah and it's fucking boring as hell, all the bosses are
>>719953953This. Literally just roll through their ground pound attack and follow up with a few hits. It's just a pattern recognition check.
>>719954142Yeah it's no zanzishart
>>719953847plays games with yellow paint

>"this game kinda sucks">"oh yeah then go back to dark souls or [other game] you wuss">no one said anything about other gamesWhat causes this behavior? I thought it was just Nioh fans but I guess they learned it from Ninja Gaiden

>>719953847>greatest action game of all timeThat's not revengeance
>>719954768Revengeance is pretty mediocre outside the boss fights.
Yup. This is the thread. Have they confirmed leaderboards for NG4? I hope they add something similar to NG2's survival mode.Speaking of NG4, friendly reminder that Yakumo will job and Seori will die. Yakumo is for newcomers.... to learn that Ryu Hayabusa is the truth.>>719954620Nobody's telling him to play other games. NG fans know what new players tend to jump into NG thinking it's like every other action game. Aside from the crass that's typically seen in 4chan posts>>719953953>>719954167>>719954425Are giving good advice. NG doesn't let you dodge cancel every single animation frame like Bayo and DMC. So you have to be observant and understand enemy patterns. You also have to block more often than you would in typical action games, such as Bayo and DMC, where you can twitch reaction dodge everything since the ability to cancel every attack frame means you can't get punished for being reckless.And yes, NG04 and its updates is the greatest action game ever made.>fun combat system with depth. Not just depth for combos but there's also depth in its defensive systems whereas most games just leave it at parry and dodge cancels. If you know what you're doing, Ryu can be invincible.>good enemy design. They're aggressive and powerful nor will they sandbag just to be combo fodder. It's unfair until you realize that Ryu himself is ridiculously OP once you understand the game's mechanics.>The best level design in all of action games. It's impossible to get lost in Vigor and you don't need yellow tape nor waypoints because it's so well designed.>Tons of replayability. The game has its share of unlockables and alternative game modes that greatly increases the game length.
>>719955346Man I am so far on the ng4 hype train. It looks like razors edge combat with items and potential for better bosses
>>719955346That clip of the enemy blocking yakumo mid being juggled in the air got me salivating. Ng4 might end up a commercial failure but I'll be buying day 1
>>719955496Yeah, but I have to clear the record since there's some Anon spreading fake spoilers saying that Yakumo will cut down Ryu, and the blood that Yakumo's covered with is Ryu's. LOL, LMAO even as if KT and Team Ninja will let their mascot get humiliated. If Yaiba couldn't beat Ryu in a game that was sold on the promise of killing Hayabusa, then nothing is beating Ryu. Even though Ryu's not the MC, it's called NG4 because it will glaze Ryu four times harder than previous games. >but fake leak Anon could be right. The blood could be Ry- WRONG. Yakumo is covered in blood because he had just killed a demon. Pic related is from the scene before the tragedy.>Yakumo kills a demon. After the battle, he's covered in the demon's blood.>Battle ends>Seori and not-Alexei appears>not-Alexei transforms>He kills Seori>Yakumo freaks outSee? Conflict and evil previal when Ryu is not around. The theme of NG4 will be "This wouldn't have happened if Ryu were there."See 5:49 for the scene.https://youtu.be/l3Su7iEOlSQ?si=JIFmTVtfBL5hVtVu
>>719956567Also the boss fight against the samurai might be the best rival boss since he can parry your UT.
>>719956567Nah there's definitely no way Ryu dies in any context. Especially with the 2 masters dlc. Ryu will just fade into the background of the plot once his part plays out and return to hayabusa village. I haven't kept up with the story reveals but it's inconceivable that he dies.Anyway I'm still on the fence about deluxe edition. Gatekeeping ryus arsenal behind dlc is incredibly scummy
>>719956826>>719956792>>719956567Does anyone have a leak of this boss fight ost? https://youtu.be/REV1yX0igMU?si=HI0LXLp5vu05u4kiIf every boss fight is this decent with a soundtrack this catchy and reminiscent of mid 2000s edge like stranger of paradise was, instabuy from me
>>719954827Yes but I don't see any other games with Senator Armstrong
>>719956826>Gatekeeping ryus arsenal behind dlc is incredibly scummyI feel the same way. I heard people say that they're doing this to recoup any sales losses that might happen because of NG4 being on Game Pass. I wonder if the second master will be Yakumo.>Ryu: "lol, ive already 2-0'd the dark dragon. he's sub-sub-Genshin level, and youre just sub-Genshin level. youll be fine."And then he leaves. Could be that Yakumo becomes a master after stopping the Dark Dragon. But I'm not sure if Yakumo will be the second master of the DLC. Platinum loves introducing new gameplay styles in their DLC as seen in MGR. Of course, Ryu with his new weapons will be the first of two masters. But Yakumo's gameplay is so fleshed out that I can't picture the DLC expanding his playstyle further. Realistically, I think the second master will be Hayate so that they can get their obligatory DOA cameo, introduce new gameplay systems and have the girls appear. Could also be that Two Masters will take place during the latter half of NG4 so that we know what Ryu's up to while Yakumo's dealing with the Dark Dragon. I personally hope it's Jo Hayabusa for a pseudo NGX remake. Since Ragebound takes place during events that are very similar to NES NG1, it shows that a version of the NES trilogy will happen during the modern NG timeline. Obviously not 1:1 because of DOAD and NG3. And what better way to finish the Dark Dragon saga by moving on to the original NES trilogy? But if Team Ninja were truly aiming for kino, the second master should be the orange ninja from NG arcade.
>>719958194Could be. I never played the nes games but I think team ninja and now platinum aren't completely tied to side scroller canon. Two masters might just be a mission pack starring ryu and yakumo. I hope chapter challenges are pretty developed too. I'm 100% clearing as both yakumo and ryu on MN. Survival game mode would be great too or just a very content dense series of ninja trials like in razors edge
>>719953847People who played and loved these games back in the day were deranged and they're still deranged to this day.
>>719958716True.
Playing Sigma 1 for the first time, any tips? I just got past the military blockade and I'm constantly running out of potions
>>719958538>Survival game mode would be great tooI wish they would have replaced the fucking Tag Missions with Survival in NG2B. Survival is based. Is 360 emulation good now? I want to play NG2 Survival so badly, but I don't have an Xbox anymore. I've been thinking about picking up a Series S just for NG.
Yes. Are you a DMCuck, by chance?
>>719958971Block more. If your guard is broken, you can cancel the guard break animation by either blocking or rolling. The reason why a lot of new players struggle is because they're not used to guarding often in action games.
>>719958971If you made it that far you are doing fine. You got like 1/3rd of the game left. There’s not much else left in the game that is more dangerous than what you have already encountered. If you find a new enemy and are struggling, try a different weapon or technique. You might get a couple game overs but will find what works best.
>>719958973>Tag MissionsThese felt so pointless.>Is 360 emulation good now?It's okay on xenia canary but still buggy. Mostly visual bugs, audio issues but nothing game breaking. I really like sigma 2 black mod as an alternative. Also because cloud saves so I can play my master collection on deck.No survival though.
>>719959184>If you find a new enemy and are struggling, try a different weapon or technique.In sig1 I recall completely disabling berserkers with counter attacks. Felt like cheese due to how effective it was compared to black
>>719959184>If you find a new enemy and are struggling, try a different weapon or technique.To add to this. I personally find it much easier to use the Lunar Staff against catfiends. Vigoorian Flials against fish, and Dabilahro against heavy enemies. Try switching weapons for their UT's utility. Lunar's UT is great because it's like an AOE. Dabilahro's UT is great because of its range and can even hit underwater enemies. As for knowing which strings to use, just go a safe place and see which strings can be shuriken cancelled. If it can be cancelled with shuriken, then that means the string is safe to use in most cases.
>>719954620Soulsniggers are notoriously filtered by real action games. It's a sound assumption.
>>719953953>>719954316lol
THE GOAT
>>719959301>sigma 2 black modDoesn't that also add some gameplay changes to NG2S that aren't in vanilla NG2? I'm cool with changing enemy spawns to match vanilla NG2, but I'm wary about changing too much of the core mechanics. I'm a simple man. I just want NG2B graphics (NG2B Sonia is a qt3.14) with vanilla NG2 spawns, survival mode and the option to use this Ninja Ryukenden mod that features Famicom Boxart/OVA Ryu. Glad there are other fans like me out there who also love classic NG as much as they love modern NG. And yeah, the Deck's a really comfy way to play NG. Thankfully, NG4 seems really optimized since it's the first action game since DMC5 that runs at 120fps on consoles. Gives the impression that it's not a demanding game. My rule of thumb is that if it runs at 120fps on consoles, then it can probably run at 60fps on handhelds that play games at lower resolutions. So hopefully it runs on Deck.
>>719960072>I just want NG2B graphics (NG2B Sonia is a qt3.14) with vanilla NG2 spawns, survival mode and the option to use this Ninja Ryukenden mod that features Famicom Boxart/OVA RyuForgot to mention that I want this lil nigga back too
so to play the best version i have to get an xbox one and buy ninja gaiden black and ninja gaiden 2 via the xbox store right?
>>719960072>Doesn't that also add some gameplay changes to NG2S that aren't in vanilla NG2?It retains sigma 2 mission structure but that's about it. As far as I can recall og 2, black mod is very similar in the best way. It does away with shitty changes from sig2 like capping upgrades until certain missions, fully restores and in a lot of cases buffs enemy density, delimb rates, blood etc. Due to some frustrations with og 2 and actually getting it to run, I prefer this mod to replay 2. Especially now where functionality is complete and theres even options for expanded difficulty beyond MN.
>>719960446Lol you have to buy a series to get the definitive NG2 cause only that unfucks the framerate
>>719960072The black mod nerfs IS Ninjas. Thats either a good or bad thing depending on your tism level
>>719960803You can amend cfg to revert the values iirc. On master ninja the aggression definitely feels in line with og2
>>719953847>>719954142Most bosses in NG1 are shit. Enjoy.
>>719960940NG1 Bosses are just mediocre mostly, despite that they are still the best in the series which isn't saying much
>>719960996>>719960940Tbf pretty much all action game bosses are kinda subpar
>>719960527can I play ng1 on that as well?also how much does ng2 cost on the store?
>>719961129The best action games have bosses that range in the 5-7 scale with the standout fights beings 9s or 10s. NG is unique in that its mostly 4-6 bosses with the best ones being a 7 at best.
>>719961169Every xbox console has the same level of backwards compatibility. NG2 occasionally goes on sale for less but its still like 30 plus theres the challenge mode DLCs and costumes
>>719961421Doppleganger is a pretty satisfying 8 imo. 2 has consistently the worst bosses. Razors edge is unique in that it has a bunch if 1v3 boss type encounters that all feel good since it works into the combat system instead of trying to force 1v1s
>>719954316>youtube shorts
>>719961665I can agree with the exception of Flail Fiend. The only bosses that worse then what 2 has in RE is probably the goddess but aside from her 2 has the lowest lows easily. NG is really not a game designed around 1v1s which is probably is the issue with the bosses.
>>719961972I was thinking more of alchemists. Agreed on 1v1 bosses. From what I've seen in ng4 footage I think the new entry might break the streak of stinker bosses. The goddess in RE was more annoying than anything, definitely.
>>719958194Plot twist, the orange ninja is Yakumo.
>Another filtered DMCuck outs themselvesThe door is that way, you will never be a real action game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6KumZk8Tss
>Played ninja gaiden 1 and 2 and enjoyed them a lot>Talking with someone else about them and it's like they played a different game>All these different versionsWhy?
it does suck ass and I guarantee you anybody you talk to about it abused i-frames cause the game is shit
>>719957002Why does this remind me of sonic frontier's osthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_FRDqHT5y0
>>719961631thanks i might get a series in that case if i get it cheap and play all the xbox classics one day
>>719962928That would be kino. The franchise's biggest mystery would finally be solved. Who is that orange mystery ninga who can fight on par with the strongest man in the universe?
>>719953847all of these japanese bing wahoo jumping button mashers are bad and only people with a double-digit iq enjoy them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSDtxkSKrGkcrinja gayden sucks and shitagaki is a hack
>>719953847some of these japanese bing wahoo jumping button mashers (namely the Ninja Gaiden series and Vanquish) are amazing. NG players can be parsed into a bell curve.>low IQ players see cool ninja doing cool things, big booba kunoichi and love NG simply because it's cool.>midwits make video essays like this seething over Ninja Gaiden because its not DMC. They think NG and every action game has to play like DMC with every action being cancellable and a heavy focus on air combos otherwise its bad.https://youtu.be/S6rjKGN2qQ8?si=WwgLDkija5lsBN01>high-IQ players acknowledge that Ninja Gaiden is the best action series due to its complex combat system, aggressive enemies, content and masterful design. In addition to that, they see cool ninja doing cool things, big booba kunoichi and love NG simply because it's cool
>>719968157>vanquishLoved it but definitely feels a lot more one note than ng.
>>719955346>You also have to block more often than you would in typical action gamesThat's the worst thing about it. It defaults to making you want to block whenever you're not doing anything else, as opposed to using movement to avoid enemy attacks. This "feels good" because it gives you the impression that "you skillfully blocked just in time for the enemy's attack", but you usually don't care to acknowledge what the enemy is specifically doing unless it can break your guard, so it results in a spastic game where precise movement isn't important.
>>719953847Ninja GAYden fans are contrarians, that's all. There's a reason the series is dead.
