A lot of people get really obsessed and attached to particular games, learning them in and out, to the point where any sort of change in further entries feels like a betrayal.Their view becomes distorted, they can't see games normally anymore.This also applies to DMC4fags
NG2 is a great game but just like DMC4, MvC2 and Smash Melee people have to accept that that it was one of those happy accidents and that a lot of whats good about it is how fucked up it is and there's really no way to replicate that. No sequel will ever capture "that" feel because a lot of it was unintentional.
>>722482041In Itagaki's own words the game is incomplete/unbalanced
>>722482263and it's a tragedy it didn't get a definitive edition like NGB.
>>722481527>there's really no way to replicate thatTeam ninja could have easily replicate mission mode/survival but the fuckers were too lazy and incompetent for that
>>722482378NG2 has some really high highs, but I think I prefer the first game overall. The hordes of enemies are the best and worst part of NG2 and it just gets worse the higher in difficulty you go.>How many enemies can we put on screen before the console crashes?That is NG2's design philosophy.
>>722481527I wish I could play Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden II.I wish I wasn't an incompetent loser poorfag so I could afford an Xbox.I wish I wasn't a low IQ subhuman so I could at least emulate these games on PC.Why is life so unfair? Why am I an incompetent loser poorfag? Why am I a low IQ subhuman? Why am I brown? Why am I ugly? Why am I an incel? Why do I have a small penis? Why am I short?I hate this... I don't want this... I will cope...I will cope by pretending Ninja Gaiden Smegma, Ninja Gaiden Smegma 2, Ninja Gaiden 2 Black, Ninja Gaiden 3, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge are also good NG games, eventhough deep down I know they are not.I will lie to people who don't know better and recommend them to play these inferior versions.I will lie that the shitty guesswork mod of Fiendbusa somehow magically makes Smegma 2 the definitive way to play, eventhough modded Smegma 2 still has missing code, enemy AI and features.I will lie about the fact that NG3:RE was my first introduction to the franchise and will try to gaslight others into believing that NG3:RE has the best combat and is the most difficult game in the franchise.I will never ever be a True Ninja Gaiden fan.True Ninja Gaiden fans recognize my behavior, laugh at me and spit on me.This is who I am.I am a secondary, a coping secondary.I will always be a secondary, a coping secondary.And that is okay.
>>722484125I wish my 360 didn't suddenly stop reading discs, preventing me from playing either of these games.
>>722484125don't worry bro, your experiences are valid and we accept you wholeheartedly
>>722481527yeah I'm kinda obsessed with NG2 but I think it's far from a perfect game so I don't have this issue.Like I think 3RE did a few things right and I ultimately really enjoyed it.But it's also clear to me that NGS2 did practically nothing to help NG2 and that's why I hate this game so much, I don't think my hatred for that version is distorted or unfair, it really is a far worse version of NG2 to the point where I think that yes even NG3RE is a lot better, even if NG2 destroys the both of them easily despite it's flaws.>>722484125kys
>>722486060>I think 3RE did a few things right and I ultimately really enjoyed it.>MURDERER!!!!!>Reddit masked man>Character assassination of RyuSecondaries are a blight.
>>722481527Ninja Gaiden Black Sigma - perfect gameNinja Gaiden 2 Sigma 2 Black 2 - abysmal dogshitNinja Gaiden Razor's Edge - abysmal dogshitNinja Gaiden 4 - a Platinum game that has the Ninja Gaiden name because Team Ninja 1) does not give a fuck about the franchise 2) does not know how to make a real action game 3) is busy making Nioh 3 insteadI cannot think of a bigger "wasted opportunity the franchise" besides DMC
>>722486672>Ninja Gaiden Black Sigma - perfect gameExposing yourself a Smegma secondary this hard. If you actually played NGB, you would see all the differences and choose one version you prefer. Smegma is much easier, nerfed enemy AI, female chapters, new cringe enemies and more.Neck yourself.
>>722484125Dilate
>>722486827>>722486672>2 dumb niggers fighting over which one is more retardedLove to see it

>>722487038>you're blackHe might be. A lot of his posts feature jeet speak
Ng 2 was ok but I think black is better
>>722487232Both are valid
>>722487280all variants of NG2 are dog shit and belong in a special needs school alongside Yaiba fans
>>722481527Ng2 is very satisfying I love both black and re but more often find myself coming back to 2. It's just a constant dopamine drip. Something about that combat feels very free form even if re has more strings and is faster. Difficult to explain but there's a quality to it.
>>722487403Ng and shitsona games have to have the most retarded schizo communities in gaming.
>>722482459This. II is boring compared to NGB.
>>722487513>Ng2 and nu-shitsona games have to have the most retarded schizo communities in gaming.ftfy
>>722487768I don't know if the 10 dudes discussing EP and IS constitute a community but you're right.
>>722484125Xboxes are going to be a rare commodity now that microjeets is finally dropping consoles. It's a shame since the backcompat on og Xbox games is great. I think anyone seriously interested in preserving this series needs to get it to run natively from PC or get the emulation settings down perfectly
>>722484125Is this zSenzy pasta?
>>722488260zSenzy is a moron who likes NG3:RE, so no.
>>722488260Might as well be. It reads like his brownoid schizo babble
>>722488314Based. Maybe he's not as retarded as >>722484125
>>722481527Can someone please rec me a decent action game to play? I'm so fucking bored all I have is MH Wilds now.Already beaten every NG on MN, did (almost) all Challenges in 3RE. Beat Bayo1 (didn't like it)Beat DMC3 and 5 (the controls can eat a dick)Beat literally ever MH past Dos including Frontier (up to Z400)Nothing has really "clicked" for me like MonHun amd Ninja Gaiden.I'm bored out of my fucking mind
>>722488523Jacky chan
>>722486601Who gives a shit the Challenge mode is great, Kasumi plays like a dream, and it has the best combat engine of the series
NG2 is a really flawed game.
>>722487038>Yeah, keep saying that to yourself after cheesing the early chapters with lunar staff ultimates in small box arenas, faggotKeep projecting Smegma secondary. I am Dragon Sword main.>0 proof, autistic nitpick to rival "they got the gravity wrong"Nope, proven many times. Compare Doku boss fights, it is very obvious there, you never played NGB, low IQ son of a whore.>you are shit at the game to have problems with rachel in the unholy [current year]They are boring. I want to play as Ryu, not Rachel. Why is it being forced on me? Fuck off incel coomer faggot.>that you cannot even name at the top of your head even if you triedBike-fags, fish-fags, phantom-fags.

No thanks, the anus is an exist for waste, it is not designed to be penetrated, that is what a vagina is for.>you're black. apply yourself.I'm not, but if I was black, it would be better than being a brownoid like you. Keep dreaming about white cock in your ass, you will never be white.
>>722488523I guess nioh. I like everything you mentioned and love nioh
>>722486601>MURDERER!!!!!>Reddit masked man>Character assassination of RyuWritten by one of the main (NES) NG creators btw
>>722488565>Who gives a shitSecondary doesn't care about Ryu, many such cases.>Kasumi plays like a dreamTypical incel coomer wiafu faggot.
>>722488615I gave Nioh so many chances man, I really tried to like Nioh 2. I've bitched about it before so I won't get into it but I really hate how the game moves.
>>722488625Nope. Creative directive of NG3 was all from Hayashit who wanted to deconstruct and kill the Ninja Gaiden IP and rebuild it into an interactive movie abomination for western audience, it backfired so hard that he was forced to publicly apologize. Eat shit secondary son of a whore, you will never be able to rewrite history and gaslight others.
>>722488523Play some arcade style beat em ups like ninja warriors or fight n rage.
>>722488680I guess you could try something older. Onimusha series, shinobi ps2, nightshade ps2, genji ps2.
>>722484125TRUTH NUKE of the highest degree.
>>722481527Other than some people bitching about air movement in DMCV compared to DMC4, i've never seem too much bitching about it. But the NG2 autist takes the cake as the most annoying fanboy in this shitty place. He shat on every NG thread for fucking years. You could try to start a NG at any time of the day and he would show up to start shit, kill any NG discussion and then blame on DMC. I really hope NG4 becomes a major success for him to kill himself.
>>722488680You have experienced the peak of this genre already, time to try out some different type of games.
>>722488591Don't tell those ass blasted NG2 secondaries. They're still recovering from the fact 3RE is objectively the better game in every way.
>>722488864NG2 bros are based, NGB bros are based. 3RE subhumans will never be based. Stop trying to rewrite history, that NG2 bro probably just told you that 3RE is dogshit and you got traumatized.
>>722488743>t. I'm a delusional anon who has a melty so I have to scream, piss and shit myself,
>>722489056Stop the nonsense
>>722489007>Don't tell those ass blasted NG2 secondaries.

>>722489056>t. Ng2 autist
>>722489085The writer had no creative control, learn to comprehend English you brown son of a whore. NG3 is from the mind of HAYASHIT.
>>722489104Facts
how did KTecmo managed to create the biggest autists in gaming (DoA, DW, FF and NG cultits)?
>>722489104>redditfrog>redditjackNG3:RE subhumans are literally zoomers.
>>722489112>NG3:RE has the best combat and is the most difficult game in the franchise.Yes and Yes. You're either a moron or got filtered to believe otherwise.
>>722489104NG3RE balance is much better than NG2. Although the jump to Master Ninja and UN is the biggest in the entire series. UN is fucking trollish, with shitty mechanics from vanilla NG3 built into the difficulty.>Some NPCs can anti-sob the player.Bullshit.
>>722489232>Yes and Yes. You're either a moron or got filtered to believe otherwise.WOW, >>722484125 was right once again.
>>722489268>Some NPCs can anti-sob the player.Good. NGII would have been better balanced if enemies could do shit all against UT spam.
>>722481527>>722484125I miss the NG fan who even made a list of pros/cons of each game.He didn't shit on any game, he just made rational criticism.
>>722489232Every ng has it's issues and re is no different. The ng2 brownoid is wrong but re is definitely too easy to abuse.
>>722482459>How many enemies can we put on screen before the console crashes?Isn't this a moot point if you're playing it on the XSX?
>>722489348In NG3, UTs are even stronger. The game encourages the use of charged attacks to instantly OT enemies.
>>722481527>Leave Hayabusa to meI can't wait for Yakumo to BTFO Ryu and watch all the Hayabussy sissies on /v/ collectively lose their shit, it will be glorious.
>>722487403>alongside Yaiba fansDie mad, but before you do, take a suck gayboy.
>>722489462>Leave Hayabusa to meAtta boy, FUCK Hayabusa up.
>>722489354>rational fanHe probably left after realising he didn't belong on /v/
This is a CAG thread. Guys, I forgot how shitty Raiden's movelist is. It's full of pointless strings.
>>722489606Yeah, he said Sigma 1 is still good
>>722489757>CAGCorrect term is Slash-Action.
>>722489816He's not wrong
>>722489606>He probably left after realising they didn't play NG on /v/
>>722489757All 5 of them?>>722489872Slam dunk
>>722489816He was a coping Smegma faggot, many such cases.
>>722481527It's a game of extreme highs but some of the most abysmal lows in the genre.There are chapters in this game that are elder god-tier, some of the best in the entire genre, eg. A Tempered Gravestone.Then there are other chapters that are downright actual DMC2-tier genre lowpoint levels of awful, eg. Heart of Darkness.Playing NG2 is ludicrous levels of whiplash
I pre-ordered 4 bros.
>>722489898>All 5 of them?They used to be very popular in the 80s and 90s
>>722490072There's only 3 good chapters. The game is mostly dogshit.
>>722490283Kek
>>722490130Based.
>>722490313I would say the chapters are all vary from dogshit, to below average, average, decent, really good and fantastic.
>>722484125wasn't there a team of autists decompiling the game? I hope they succeed
>>722490514Maybe if they beg and pay Sonic chads to do it for them, otherwise, don't get your hopes up lil anon.
>>722490412The distribution is still heavy on the bad side. Few chapters can be considered good.
>>722482041This comes across as extreme cope to me. Devs just can't make games as good as their predecessors sometimes.
>>722490612Kill yourself smegma secondary son of a whore.
>>722490809Projection? All versions of 2 suck ass btw
OG2 chapters rated imo>Sky City Tokyo10, amazing intro chapter>Castle of the Dragon8, still great, some of the level-design and enemies on Mentor and MNM are not that fun, like the Rocket Launcher volleys in the super narrow path up to the main castle that shoot through the trees>Thunderclap of Catastrophe5, some bad encounters, some decent, awful boss, cool atmosphere>A Captive Goddess7-8, more manageable than the previous level, end boss is decent, mostly fun encounters>The Aqua Capital6-7, Werewolves are fun to fight, encounters are pretty alright, super fun gaja encounter later, boss sucks>The Lycanthropes Castle8, Volf doesn't live up to the hype the cutscenes build unfortunately, the encounter after you get his scythe is kino though, fun encounters>The Flying Fortress7-8, it's mostly fun, the new robot enemies are average, Genshin fight is decent. Armadillo ruins it>Submit or Die7, AWFUL start to the chapter, is saved by a lot of fun encounters after you get past the terrible beginning. Clock Tower is fun, some fantastic ninja encounters, Zedonius is alright>Heart of Darkness1, pure unfettered dogshit, two of the worst bosses in the entire series, some of the most boring enemies in the entire game, a complete bore>Temple of Sacrifice3, The start seems promising after the terrible last chapter, but after that it's mostly crap until the insane staircase fight, but Elizabeth sucks ass>A Tempered Gravestone10, pure action kino, whiplash of going from 2 of the worst chapters to arguably the best...>Quickening Devastation2, and then whiplash again with this awful chapter, like a worse version of Temple of Sacrifice>The Underworld Abyss3, mostly really really boring encounters fighting boring enemies>Poisoned Blood2, Fiend Genshin is probably one of the best bosses in the game, the other bosses in this chapter suck, final vazdah is ok. Mostly bad and boring encounters.Hat trick of bad chapters to end the game on, what a shame.
>>722481527NG2 is fun. But it's glitchy as hell and the difficulty is based on spammy enemies. Not as well thought out as NG04 or NG3RE. NGS2 is garbage all the way through.
>>722481527the game wouldnt have this mythical aura to it if more people had easy access to it, but as things stand KT is trying their best to bury this game by porting inferior versions and all that does is add to its allure
>>722492325>NG3REkek
>>722481527Because those changes usually alter the fundamental nature of the game. NG2 is very different from Black and yet the core of the combat is still the same.
>>722489194correlation is not causation
>>722489194DMCucks are just as bad. Autists play a relatively complex single player game for 400 hours and then base their personalities around them. I'd say it made some sense in the late 00s but this whole "subgenre" (if not gaming in general) has been stagnating and evolving backwards since the 2010s.
Should I just play Black or is it not worth it at all if it's not the original release? I don't want to buy an Xbox just for it but people always make it out to be a massive gulf in quality between versions of it.
>>722488523Mega man x
>>722496954Black is better than Sigma in like a couple of small ways, and Sigma is better than Black in some other ways. You are not getting a lesser experience either way.
>>722496954Get an Xbox and play the original ninja gaiden 2, other versions are terrible.
>>722496954Black is pretty great. Just play it.>Massive gulf in qualityIt's just pearl clutching, there is no massive difference in quality. There are some things that are improved, some that are inferior and some things that are a sidegrade.
>>722496954emulate ng2 or mod sigma 2
>>722491689>>Heart of DarknessDo not remind me of this garbage level
>>722499501I must. We must never forget the horrors of what happened in that jungle.
>>722497226>Sigma is better than Black in some other waysname 1
I prebuyed the deluxe edition of NG4 and Nioh 3, just so you know
>>722499669I can play it right now on my PS5
>>722499762me too brotha, i prebuyghted ng4 and i haven't boughted nioh 3 yet, but i will prebuyinged it next year the month before it comes out probably.
>>722499194The modded sigma 2 should be played after the original NG2, since there are some differences and enemy placements sometimes even twice as many, possibly due to bugs as sometimes when you reload the game the enemy counts return to normal
>>722500147We are eating good, Im even getting a new tv for these games (among others releasing in the future)
>>722488743YOU BLOODY BASTARD SON OF WHORE!
>>722499762i did not boughttered yet but i will probably have buyed it when it cames out
>>722489104>NG3:RE
Ninja gaming.
>>722499669It's subjective but I greatly prefer the graphics in Sigma 1, things are more colourful and vibrant.
>>722491689This is why I only play the kino demohttps://digiex.net/threads/ninja-gaiden-2-demo-download.1463/
>>722491689This is... correct, good job.
>>722507660That's a pretty good thing. What Ninja Gaiden always needed were moves trials, like Xrd had for example. Training room with an individual mook is irrelevant because the enemies in NG actually interact with the player, unlike in a certain game.
>>722490772No. Its your stupid expectations to expect the same thing from a different perspective. Your standards REFUSE to give the new perspective a chance.
>>722507660How do you people remember to breath?
>>722507660You mean a training room like they did in NG3 back in 2012?
>>722510290Yeah a training room like ng3 where you could explore the weapons then go in real missions to play. That is cool. The ng4 one is a combo sim. Walls wires. A Game Desgin built on the Emphasis of Combos. This might cause a void situation where all the content the game has to offer gets ignored for combo montages. if that happens and it becomes viral the Legacy of NG will get sabotaged. I could see it. Yakumo does L3 R3 does his combo then a kanji finish. This is without a doubt a despicable Attack on NG.
>>722510483So you mean exactly like the training room like they did in NG3 back in 2012.
>>722481527NG2 is fun but the amount of enemies makes it so that you are pretty much forced to spam one or two powerful moves to kill enemies. Had the whole game been built around spamming charge heavy and few other moves that deal with huge numbers of enemies at once, it would have been better.Black 2 is overall superior.
>>722491689Imagine NG gameplay adapted for a free roam level design in a Sky City Tokyo, fighting on the ground and io in the skycrappers....
>>722511296>Black 2 is overall superior.Piss off. Sigma 2 blacked doesn't even have any variation of survival mode.
The combat in these games can be fun but christ it's painfully boring fighting the same handful of enemies in the most generic linear levels imaginable
>>722512985That's why you izuna drop the first nigga you can and use its essence to UT the rest. Unles its NG3, then you'll have to find some breathing room to charge UT since enemies don't drop essence. That's what all the smart, big boys do.
>>722512985They don't even have the same level layouts faggot. 04 has plenty of parkour opportunities, closed spaces and even some on water combat while by 3 it devolves into much more open, empty rectangle shaped arenas.
>>722511296>Black 2 is overall superior.>I will lie to people who don't know better and recommend them to play these inferior versions.WOW, >>722484125 was right again!
>>722512985>in the most generic linear levels imaginableFuck off retarded open-world subhuman.
