ninja gaiden 4 thread last thread is about to hit bump limit
not liking the default controls how are the other options?
How small is the perfect parry widow can’t consistently pull it off
Is the weapon balancing just as terrible as in the previous games?
Post seori
Is there other costumes besides the paid one's?
>>723861361anons who beat the game already how does ryu play? does the combat actually feel like traditional ninja gaiden?
>>723861612Perfect parry is not a thing. It's just parry and perfect block. You may be talking about perfect fatal flash which is you having to time the slash perfectly, it's pretty small and there isn't really a tell for when to do it.
I love the staff, most fun weapon so far.
Bros I miss being able to OT headless enemies... it's the little thingsIt was funny and also let you get some free iframes
fuck the enemies with the wind projectiles
>>723861361I made it to the mountain area and even though it’s fun enough, I can tell that it’s probably going to be my least favorite of the four games. Combat is good, everything else is horribly uninspired, especially the environments and art direction. Even then, some parts really feel like I’m just playing Razor’s Edge and its waves upon waves of enemies again. It’s missing the hand crafted level design and careful enemy placement/pacing of Black. I don’t regret buying it but I guess I’ll always be an Itagakifag at heart.
>>723862979Personally of that chapter I found the lanterns the worst. At least the wind guys are practically dead the moment you touch them in a single izuna drop, plus the arenas always have hook points so you can fly towards them. The lanterns are annoying as fuck, they spawn so many of them, they take almost a full string to kill despite being small little shits, and you have to end your combo safely or else they suicide bomb your ass.
>>723863161The lanterns are bastards, ghost fish are significantly easier.
You can use at least 4 items without losing multiplier, unless it goes UP from 1.0 when not using any. I just managed to get master ninja rank on chapter 8 hard but this one was pretty easy because of the fish giving free UTs + no boss to job to constantly.
>>723861361how much budget was given for this game. I’m enjoying but definitely feels AA
>>723863112>horribly uninspired, especially the environments and art directionUninspired is Ninja Gaiden's middle name. The series has never had cohesive art direction and everything about it besides the main character's design has always been bland and forgettable.
>>723863529ng black feels like it has a specific vibe it’s going for
team ninja has done nothing but prove itagaki right since his firing
>>723863420Platinum is a mid sized studio that punches above their weight. They'd be dead otherwise.
>>723863529Kill yourself
what’s up with Microsoft and not advertising their games very well. I knew this came out because I’m a ng fan but had completely no idea about that new double fine game
Anyone tried it on 2gb vram? and yes it still work on modern games like E33 stellar blade SH2Remake
>>723863667They don't give a shit. All they care about is money and nioh sells. They let ninja gaiden 4 happen because they get a check without doing anything.
Lol UT chains are so hilariously busted in this game. It's not even because of the UTs themselves. It's because they easily build up your rage meter safely which allows you to insta kill everyone even faster. What were they thinking
>>723863856Microsoft makes smart decisions and very dumb ones after. Always been this way.
>>723863985You need 4-6 at least I'm pretty sure.
>>723863856Probably reducing all kinds of spending on Xbox and game publishing in general in the short term while they figure what the fuck they're going to do with the brand
I just realized that the guy talking about ninja robots played the sigmaballs version instead of Black. Fucking cringe, bet he never competed in the hurricane challenges.
NG4 is my first in the seriesWhich versions of 1-3 should I play after 4?
>flying swallow got nerfed even more>UTs are still OP as fuckSwallow bros… we lost again.
>>723864179both E33 and SH2 had 6gb as the minimum but still worked on 2gb that's why i'm asking
Sigma is better
>>723864267Black (Sigma 1 is also acceptable) 2 (Black 2 is also fine. Avoid Sigma 2.) Razor’s Edge
>>723864275I probably miss my swallows more than they land
>>723864267>NG4 is my first in the seriesNot ninja gaiden. Ninja Gaiden + DLC or Ninja Gaiden Black. Don't waste your time with 4. If you want to play platinum slop play Wonderful 101 or Bayonetta instead.
>>723864236That's me and you are a fucking retard. Look up any hard mode playthrough of Black and skip to the city chapter. Within 30 seconds you will see robot soldiers with lightsabers.
>>723864291It's playable but shit on the deck
>I think that the visual aspect is a very important part of game design in general. There is, obviously, the visual; there is the auditory; there is the control scheme that causes the character to act on the screen; and all of those elements are very important, but a game should be beautiful, first and foremost, because it's a visual medium. The other people who claim the opposite, that graphics that aren't necessarily the most important thing -- I don't agree with that viewpoint.
>>723864335>>723864316Sigma is horrible, what happened to this site?
I knew it.It was moeblob all this time.
>>723864267if you have a xbox play ninja gaiden black, the 360 version of 2, and doesn’t matter what version of razors edge you play.
>>723864381deck has more vram than 2gb
>>723864236>>723864379Here I looked it up just for you: https://youtu.be/klTiimsJM-0?si=s4eQafQSpj8yggZS&t=41
>>723864437Yeah it's like the same as a 1050ti and it runs at 30fps
>>723864393sigma 2 is so bad that people forgot sigma 1 blows too
>>723864393While Black is better, some of you really exaggerate how “bad” Sigma 1 is. It’s really not that much worse than Black. Sigma 2 on the other hand is fucking trash.
>>723864453 looks photoshopped
>>723864343>Not ninja gaiden.I'm not going to purity test a game with my first entryI just like fast-paced action games and video games in general>>723864335>>723864435Thanks
>>723864236>2blackthere is only one itagaki approved ng2 and it’s on xbox
>>723862745Ryu base moveset feels like neutered 3RE, he has some of his cool combos like XXYYY and XXXYYY, but windmill slash >X is gone, XX>X gone. However the new options he gets in return are pretty amazing, and gleam takes him beyond what he's ever been. Ryu feels like an absolute monster compared to Yakumo.
this is my first NG, is the game supposed to be just running room to room fighting enemies nonstop?
>>723864643Yes NG is a full on balls to the wall action series now since 2. Ninja gaiden black is an action adventure game and a great one at that.
>>723864643Yeah and it's based
Sigma 2 isn't bad
>an entire chapter without shops to heal youSo they factored this into the item multiplier right? Right?
>>723864738On it's own, that's true. It's a shame it's so ridiculously easy on any difficulty outside of MN, and MN is only difficult because of the instant kill grabs. It's still the worst in the trilogy (after base 3, but nobody besides me plays that willingly)
>>723864687Will their ever be another game like ninja gaiden black?
>>723864738
>>723864738Sell us on it. If one has access to both, what makes it worth playing instead of the original version of Ninja Gaiden 2?
Yakumo is such a donutsteel character
>>723864703Based on what? Evidently not sales figures.
>>723865067Normies not buying it means it's good
Am I just really bad at this or are some enemies spongey as fuck? The commander soldier guys have more health than some NG Black bosses. It’s starting to feel like I’m playing shitma 2 again…
>>723865059I swear they went out of their way to shit on ryu
>>723865225You didn't play the game
Are NGB and NG2 still the only good games in the series?
Am I the only one who thinks the story is incredibly weak?
>>723865384>playing ng expecting good story
>>723865005Original NG2 on master ninja steers you into 1 type of game plan which is chaining iframes back to back. You indirectly lose access to most of your toolkit and you relegated to guillotines and UTs and OTs etc...Sigma 2 on master ninja doesnt throw tons of IS ninjas on you who will spam you from offscreen, but instead they have more hp and they deal way more damage. From here you can see that in sigma 2 you can still deal with fights however you want, and you are heavily punished for mistakes.Both games have their own flavor in how they see difficulty and what they want from you, and both are fun and frustrating in their own ways.I played both and i enjoy both.
>>723865459>Original NG2 on master ninja steers you into 1 type of game plan which is chaining iframes back to back.That's just the nature of difficulty. The harder the challenge the more narrow the range of correct solutions. Nothing wrong with that.
>>723865443I liked Razor's Edge's story.
>>723865334>NG2NG2Black is better, still mediocre but at least it's playable
>>723861361Getting tired of Chapter 6, some of these encounters have been pretty annoying on hard. Master Ninja is gonna be brutal on this game.
>>723865059I just find him boring. His stoic attitude makes him flat and he looks like a Persona character. Did we REALLY need him to be the central character of the game over Ryu?
>>723865334NGB is mid, adventure elements hamper the game. NG2 is the only good one.
>>723865510Not necessarly. A challenge can be a high demand from execution, or a high demand in consistency, and many other things, it doesnt have to be purely about the reduction of solutions
FUCKOFF
>>723865569There's an entire chapter full of fucking fish, zombies, and dogs. Not difficult but it's really fucking mind numbing. I miss the white samurais
>>723865789You can't simultaneously have super strict execution requirements but also allow the player to play however they like and succeed. The two are inherently opposed.
>>723863112It's my least favorite NG game too but it's my 2025 goty>>723863529I actually like the futuristic Tokyo warzone aesthethics but it does lack the variety the other games had
I find it funny how NG 1 and 2 had zero aesthetic consistency whatsoever and looks awesome, whereas NG4 looks very consistent but feels bland as fuck.
>>723864267The remaster trilogy ignore the purist fags, Sigma games are good and they have more booba waifu
>>723865917I kind of hope master ninja throws more types from previous chapters into those chapters. Like they're fine enemies but it's ONLY them for like 3 whole chapters. Same for the ravine before it. I missed the white samurai too, they should've been mixed in
>>723865978You are wrong, and sigma2 is exactly an example of that.You can fight enemies any way you like in sigma2 no need to chain iframes, but the insane damage enemies deal to you means that you need flawless execution.You can literally put what i said in practice and go play both games.I can beat sigma2 on mn without iframes chaining 24/7 and its still a very challenging run.Og2 i cant beat mn unless i chain iframes ans i find it less challenging.I am speaking out of experience i played both games to death and like i said, both are very different philosophies of difficulty
>>723865917>mind numbingThis is the perfect way to describe how I'm feeling nearing the end of the ravine section of the game. I'm just completely tired of these enemies.
anyone else having the problem of enemies off camera jumping in not giving you enough time to react
>>723866224It’s kinda funny that action games are in such a sorry state that this is the weakest main NG game and yet it’s still fairly easily the best 3D action game of the 2020s so far.
>>723861361>too poor and the game was too expensive for me to get it>decided to just pirate it and play that way>having so much fun to the point i felt guilty for pirating such a quality gameEspecially now seeing the game seemingly underperforming.I uninstalled the game now just so the temptation of opening the game again doesn't happen. Really wish i could play the game legit.
>>723864267The master collection>b-b-butbetter than emulating you will miss nothing because you have no concept of how the game was changed so who cares?
>>723866382realized how rough it was when I heard people calling stellar blade one of the best character action games
>>723866463>stellar blade>character action gamewtf which retards said that?
>>723866373Funny you say that because now I miss the forest and ravine enemies (except the lantern), lol. It's never ending. At least in true NG fashion, above all, I will always miss fighting ninjas
>>723866523it is though >inb4 soulslike
>>723866379The game shows you indicators of attacks coming from offscreen like nu gow
>>723866603Personally I classify Stellar Blade as just an action gameCharacter action is synonymous with cuuhhhrrrazzy action for me
>>723866363>You can fight enemies any way you like in sigma2 no need to chain iframes, but the insane damage enemies deal to you means that you need flawless execution.That's the laziest way to design difficulty, since it doesn't actually affect strategy at all, just increases punishment for failure.
>>723866603it's neither, it's just action
>>723866561Need a game JUST about fighting ninja, only ninja. They're the best part of every NG game
>>723866373I had to put it down after a few hours desu. I’m starting to get that feeling of fatigue that I get when playing Razor’s Edge. This never happens to me with 1 and 2. Only RE. I’ll come back to it in a few days.
>>723864335Black 2 is just sigma 2 with blood
>>723866396free on gamepass
Is the game difficult for shitters?
>>723866373>>723866813It's over stimulating same as RE. After a few plays you get used to it.
>>723866813I feel like it's just a matter of visual design. Like in NG2 going from fighting ninja to fighting werewolves for a while is fine because werewolves are fucking cool. But even then in venice there's still ninja fights. In the fish parts it's basically just ghost fish, zombies, dogs, and the guys with cleavers/clubs. Not as cool, they really can't carry the experience for as long as you're stuck fighting them
>>723866868It has difficulty settings so...
>>723866868it's annoying cause it's badly designed but nah, even if you are a shitter you wont get stuck it's literally impossible since the game showers you with healing items
>$70 for "base game">$90 for deluxe edition, with further reading, this gets you the first big content DLC>Implications of multiple paid DLC to comeFuck you. I'm going to wait 5 years for the "Complete Edition" during a sale. It's one thing if they sell a game for "$70 with all future content included in free updates," but holy shit they're really swindling people.
>>723864267This >>723864335 don't listen to the purists, yeah black and og 2 are superior but sigma 1 and 2 black are still fun, sigma 1 is pretty close to Black anyway
>>723866667Not necessarly.I can tell you that throwing a million IS ninjas at you is even lazier.A decision is a decision.For og2 its way easier to make the case of lazy implementation.Itagaki himself said the game was rushed and unbalanced.The way the xbox died in some places and fps becomes a slideshow shows how that mn wasnt properly playtested and balanced and was put together in haste.
would you play a switch 2 port /v/?
>>723864738You’re right. It’s awful putrid shit.
Thoughts on the sigma 2 mod that supposedly makes it like OG xbox NG2?
>>723867508A Nintendo direct is the only thing that can save it
>>723864437You stupid nigger, just because your shit is using RAM to compensate for your lack or VRAM doesn't count as "working", quit fucking posting your inane shit
>>723861361Still buying ninja gaiden 4
>play for an hour>controller breaks and I'm forced to use kb+m insteadWhoever designed this control scheme deserves a bullet in the fucking head.
>>723863856I don't even know how that Double Fine game got made. They must have spent weeks/months just making environments you walk through in a few seconds. Completely retarded. Then they give up on the lighthouse gimmick half way through because there's not many interesting things you can do as a fucking lighthouse. Seems like MS will fund anything besides Banjo 3 and then proceed to not advertise it at all.
Played NG1, NGB, and NG2 back in the day. Never bothered with 3. How will I like this?
>>723867923Ninja flopden 4 kek
>>723867674I don't know how accurate it is but it's good enough. I like the sigma greatsword and the girls so that's enough for me to prefer the mod
>>723864393sigma 2 is bad but sigma 1 is a weird sidegrade that some people prefer>>723867923it suffers heavily from trying to copy western gaming trends of the time, definitely worse than 1 and 2 but if you enjoyed them a lot you will still have fun. also PLEASE make sure you play razors edge and not vanilla 3
>>723861361FLOP OF THE YEARNIOH3 WILL FLOP TOTEAM NINJA AND PLATINUM SHUTDOWN FOREVER
>>723867923>How will I like this?Ryu is added as a second thought. Let that sink in.
>>723867817No you aren't.
>>723866274For the studio known for being cruuuuazy, its kinda disappointed they the lost the "whatever goes" design philosophy of the enemies.
>>723867923It's great
>>723868059>I want less video gamesFag
Damn
Holy fuck i just reached chapter 14 WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER MADEFirst 10 chapters felt like a tutorial compared to this, if the dlc is just more of these last chapters I'm going to COOOOOM
>>723865217Skill issue, they are hard to kill but if you play correctly they don't take longer to kill than say red ninjas in NGB or cat demons.>>723866274I like the aesthetic. Futuristic Tokyo is nice and obviously going back to feudal japan villages is also nice but holy shit put in some color in there, also the scaling of everything environment-wise feels really weirdOther than that this is my favorite game since vanilla 2.
Fuck i want that graphic lock to be removed asap, i will play at 30 fps instead of 120 with fsr shit @koeitecmo @platinum
>>723866274>generic PBR lighting + Yellow Paint looks badWho would have thought.
>>723867923I had fun with it. The weapons are insanely cool, but it has that Platinum feel to it. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing but if you know, you know.My only real complaints are that Ryu didn't get a proper end boss, and could use some extra weapons. Thankfully the former issue is fixed by chapter select and the latter by future DLC.
>>723868280you can turn it off though?
>>723868312>but it has that Platinum feel to itI went into it expecting just that. My problem is the fucking protagonist. This is a new low.
Guys how do I get good as Yakumo?I'm blazing through the trials as Ryu, but Yakumo seems slower and less powerful.
>>723868078they had modern team ninja breathing down their necks. also most of the important people left platinum
>>723868061Definitely getting a dlc campaign. if you don’t have gamepass wait until the complete sigma plus black edition
>>723867674still doesnt remove the shit of non ryu chapters
>all the costumes is paidLmfao I'm not buying this game
Is it true that the enemy aggression is super pitiful even on Master Ninja? That’s a bummer to hear if so.
>>723868510probably that blonde guy doing the sephiroth meme move that dissapear
>>723868465are trials unlocked from the start? I want to use the dragon blade
>>723868549No way, I'm playing on hard and enemies are aggressive as fuck.
>>723867674It's good, used it a lot. If sigma 2 is your only option definitely use the mod
>>723868379What's wrong with Yakumo? The little edgelord grew on me pretty quickly.
>>723868549No even on hard enemies will attack you at the same time
>>723868592https://x.com/p_allensprofile/status/1980656801415893094?s=46Really? Aggression seems like maybe 1/5th of NG2 on hard
playing with english dub. should I use japanese audio on second playtrhough?
Fuck the Van Gelfs in this game
>>723868654why don't you go back to twitter lil bro
>>723868654that clip is from the first or second chapter of the game
>>723868654>look mom, I posted the beginning of the game again!
>>723868715You say that as if NG2 CH1 isn’t unbelievably hard on MN
>>723868654I know this might sound crazy but this game actually has a difficulty curve and things get harder as time goes on. I know, pretty novel concept for NG since you're supposed to get raped on chapter 1 with no tools.
>>723868856>difficulty curveThe point of having multiple difficulties is being able to spread the difficulty curve across multiple playthroughs without having to make the first half of the game piss baby shit on every difficulty
>>723868671surepersonally i dont like seori's dub
>Wanna play this game.>But I have to find work, so I can't spend like I want toDamn.
any tips on blocking?whenever i land after doing aerial attacksenemies immediately attack me even if im already holding down the block button
>>723868931It's a problem they created for themselves because they decided to lock base shit like absorbing essence, on-landing uts, and wind path behind the shop. Now they have to balance the first chapter or so without any of that.
>>723868931I died more times on NG4 hard than I did with NG2 on mentor
>>723868357Nope Its on fsr performance by default and i can't even disable it from config
>>723869070Unironically dodge. Are far along are you in the game? Literally landing and blocking is something you don't want to do as more options open up as you unlock stuff from your furry boyfriend. The technique tutorials help you understand the timing a bit better.
>>723869084I think it was kind of smart to do it that way honestly. It makes players actually aware that's a thing so they can use itNG2 didn't do anything to teach people how to play or how important UTs are besides a scroll that doesn't even tell you about on land UTs. The amount of people I've seen play MNG2 and suffer because they're just playing it wrong since the game doesn't teach them how to play is way too much
>>723869184chapter 2, got my ass kicked in the purgatory beast level
>>723869181Hate to be that guy but it works for me, what card do you have?
How will I like this if I played 1 and 2 AND MGR? It sounds like I'm going to get MGR with NG mixed in.
>>723868510>Definitely getting a dlc fuck me
anyway to TURN OFF the fucking slow mo during purgatory intro?it's getting annoying everytime i get killed
>>723868629He reminds me of a friend who was obsessed with KPOP/BTS/something, always wore a mask, similar hairstyle.
>>723868654Jeez you fags are insufferable, just play the fucking game instead of regurgitating what retards on Xitter/Reddit/TrannyEra say
>>723869450
>>723869372It's more like NG with some Bayo mixed in
>shuriken cancel>ryu: shoots one unless pressed multiple times>yakumo: throws shit ton of starsfuck
>>723866849no fucking way am i gonna pay microsoft after all the shit they've done
>>723869535I don't think you even need shuriken cancels in this game because everything cancels into everything already. Like one primary use was cancelling a string to UT but you can already just go into a UT whenever you feel like it.
What's Yakoomer's best weapon so far?
>>723864637how do holds work with Ryu in 4?
Will I suffer from not playing Razor's Edge first? I'm not really in the mood to play it then 4.
Lock on and camera reset being the same button is fucking AIDS.
>>723868629looks and he steal ryu moves besides being mc he is literally an oc donutsteal character introduced in ninja gaiden
>>723864738Considering it made me go out and buy an Xbox to play the original, yes it's not a bad game.But once you know what Sigma 2 is based on it feels like an insult, Sigma 2 is only decent because the original gives it an incredible foundation.>>723865005If you want the enemies to be tanky then play Sigma 2. If you honest to god want to combo an enemy, and then combo the enemy again into Izuna Drop only to still not have that motherfucker lose a limb, then play Sigma 2.
>>723869646Razor's edge is slop. Might as well play the latest slop and move on.
>>723869646if you ever like ryu you will get a stroke being butchered in both games
>>723869801your mother is slop
Just finished my first run, hard mode. I'm so happy bros, game is absolute cinema.
Is Ryu's physique achievable natty? He looks like fucking arnold in his prime in this game.
>>723869587SO FAR in my playthrough, for bosses I started running the drill. It works very well as a "hold block and poke" weapon and because of its length it's very easy to get red attack counters with it. I tried to make the staff hammer work but it's ridiculous how many times I missed a red counter with it.
Assuming I don't have the means to play NG Black, how's NG Sigma with that Sigma Black mod?NG4 seems interesting, but I have a revulsion to seeing things out of order.
>>723870059maybe calisthenics but you will get better physique than yakumo
>>723861426The 3rd option has the original controls
>>723870135it's good enough, might as well play that one if you can't otherwise
>>723870135That mod is fucking nothing lol, it's only cosmetic stuff. Ninja gaiden sigma 2 black is an actual code mod by an autist that works how you'd want it to (pretty well in my opinion).If you can play ng with mods then you can play ng black on an emulator just fine.
>>723864070Do UTs build berserk gauge up faster?I also don't really get what berserk mode does, it just unlocks the instagib moves?
>>723870135There really isn't any meaningful difference between sigma 1 and Black outside of the Rachel missions.
>>723865217They feel that way because they block. It's a 3RE kind of feeling. I find that if you use bloodraven form to just constantly raped them they melt pretty quickly. The key is not getting mobbed by the zako when you do this
Jobryu
>>723865217Nah, you can fuck them up quick if you know what you're doing.
Twinkumo
>>723870135Sigma 1 is the only one that is an acceptable substitute. The game fucked up the balance however, way easier now. Apart form Chapter 1 and 2.And Rachel missions are meh.The Black mod doesn't do much in Sigma 1, the Black mod for Sigma 2 is a must.
Man, why don't you start the game with GT and WP? The game becomes exponentially better once you've got them. And Yakumo will actually throw niggers at the kite guys, it actually becomes fun fighting groups that include them instead of dreading it looking for the drones to grapple to.
My GOAT
>>723870749I dunno I thought grappling to the drone and zipping to them was fun. If they're in an annoying spot Bloodraven Tachi's projectile gets them out of the air in one hit.
>>723870749This. I went from "wow I'm really not feeling this" to "wow this shit is fucking awesome" once i unlocked guillotine throw and wind path.
What is the most consistent move you guys have found to delimb? Even with Bloodraven moves delimbs seem to be a diceroll.Also why does Yakumo have three strings that lead into a launcher? XY, XXY, XXXY. I don't see the utility desu.
>>723870973>Also why does Yakumo have three strings that lead into a launcher?That's the only thing i don't like about his moveset.
>>723870973XXY is a retreat, XXXY is just a heavier launch which can be nice against guard happy enemies.
>>723869865Does he get fucked in Razor's Edge too?
>>723869646It's a really fun game actually but you can just skip to 4 if you really don't want to play it i guess.
>the absolute bloodbath of chapters 5-7I fucking love it
Ayane was seconds away from the ass beating of her life.

>>723871349Oh true, the kunoichi signature technique.
>>723871479This is what the underboobs is for
>>723871070>XXY is a retreatOnly useful or doing in-air Bloodraven moves. Yakumo hangs in the air for a solid 2 seconds before hitting the ground, so doing on landing moves isn't viable.
>>723871369>fantastic, playful, cheeky personality that never gets old, basically a cute shitposter with large tits >keeps bullying the rest of the cast through convos>makes Umi seethe in every second convo>hot as fuck>they kill her
Fighting flying enemies fucking sucks but then I remember flying enemies always fucking suck to fight.Though in this case having a lockon that should help you fight them just makes it worse when it never wants to target anything above you.
Everything after chapter 10 is absolute peak.
>>723871642Use item menu screen to lock onto enemies precisely in slow motion.
I don't like two input dodge.
>>723864738It isn't a bad game, but it is worse than og 2 and the fact you can't get og 2 with ease makes it worth hating.
>>723870059Yeah but it'll take a couple years
>>723871631She says herself at the start of the game that she will die
I am only on chapter 3 but this is the GOTY for sure!
>>723871631Thanks for saving me some money. Tired of Japanese always killing off this type of girl but expecting me to care for the bland toast girls.
>cant get a guaranteed launch on a knockdowned enemy anymoreDamn. So what the fuck do I do when an enemy lies on the ground? Any guaranteed way of killing them?
Would you like if in ng5 Ryu got turned into a woman through a curse and has to have sex with fiends?
>>723871954Doesn't shuriken just pop them back up?
>>723872038Not really.
>>723871914Same. This board is fucking rabid about this game for some retarded reason.It has no drm on pc and has relatively low spec requirements. Yet people will shit on the game 24/7.Feels like people just want to shit post the fuck out of it. To be fair most ninja Gaiden threads on this board look like a schizophrenia ward at a mental hospital.
>>723869587He doesn't have a singular best weapon, all of them are well balanced for different situations.
Is it better to wait for the enhanced version?
>>723872132Just play the fucking game retard.
>>723872082What if she got raped instead
>>723872132stay out faggot lol, go play something else that fills your faggot needs, like e33.that game was put together using unrealengine slop by faggots for faggots like you lmao.
>>723872089Shit posters are like sharks, they think they smell blood in the water so they go feral. I'm untouchable right now though, I'm riding the high off of finishing the game and I feel amazing.
>>723872178Well, I guess that's a bit better? I feel like this bold new direction at it's core doesn't appeal so much to me...
Really does wonders when you ask a legit question and some manlet crashes out
>I'm untouchable right now though, I'm riding the high off of finishing the game and I feel amazingGo finish NG4 Master Ninja. It does not count unless you finish Master Ninja.
>>723872324aktually it doesnt count until you finish master ninja with untouchable in every mission.
So how does parry work? Is it forward Y or just Y? Timing seems more strict than MGR.
>>723872324You're right, sorry Sensei. Gonna get on that after some sleep and after banging out the boss trials if you know what I'm sayin'
>>723872215>they think they smell blood in the water so they go feralWhy? This is an unc ass franchise that only got number 4 in 25 years. Devil may cry 6 and Bayonetta 4 don't exist because zoomers don't play hard action games.That along with it being drm free on pc and on gamepass player count and sales are meaningless. The game is still highly reviewed on steam and other platforms.Its metal gear rising meets ninja Gaiden. Perfect for people who enjoyed those games. It's more niche than fucking digimon. I feel like zoomers on the internet lack the ability to understand what a 25 year old franchise truly is.
>>723872056Holy shit thank you, at least now I don't have to wait for him to get up and get decked from the side lol.
>>723872407There's literally a practice room you can go to at anytime. Please use it, the devs put it in exactly for people like you.
>>723872541I can't play the game right now, Anon. Was just wondering.
>>723872472You're already thinking about it too much unc, more than they do. Steam ccu is low so the game did bad so the game is bad it's ape brain logic. They don't actually care if the game is good or not, or how it did. They're miserable so they want to make other people miserable and see this as an opportunity to do so.
>>723871914More like flop of the year lol
>give myself enough money to buy max consumables>all pickups get converted>end up with all techniques learned relatively early>game becomes 100x more funThey kinda fucked up by actually locking movement behind that system instead of having them unlocked and "learned" by scrolls like before. Hell I might suggest to anons to at least try it out. There's weapon skills you unlock with the other currency so you still got shit to work towards.
>>723872706>muh flopgood, faggot. stay out and tell your faggot friends to do the same.
Replaying sekiro rn and man what a game, why can't shitinum make something like this Ng4 was such massive disappointment
>>723872628There's different follow ups after a parry you can do. The timing is a bit random it seems but the window is far more generous than it seems.
Replaying ng4 rn and man what a game, why can't fromshitware make something like thissekiro was such massive disappointment
>>723861361>that side mission in chapter two with all of the flying niggers in that tiny area around the bottomless pitI almost bashed my head against the wall that shit took so many tries on hard
>>723871631but do characters in ninja gaiden die when they are killed
>seanigger shitting up the threadHopefully when the Americans wake up they'll have comfy threads like yesterday.
Feels a lot better swapping controls to right trigger camera/lock and left trigger to dodge. It's a much nicer system than thumbstick lock for me>>723873000I couldn't do it till I realized you could charge the blood ranged B attack. It can hit like three of them at once and instantly knock them out of the air, then you can just flying swallow everyone. You can also run behind the fence if you need to hide for a bit.
>>723871642yeah not sure if you can fully disable lock on it was hurting me more than helping
>>723873185>You can also run behind the fence if you need to hide for a bit.this is what I ended up doing, felt like a bitch but I just wanted it done
>>723870749This game seems to be more of the DMC ilk where you're expected to play on NG+ with everything unlocked. Shame, since I really liked the way the old games placed your upgrades with thought.
I noticed guys with low testosterone levels are quick to anger
>>723872089lowkey believe there’s some astroturfing going on. could also just be plain shit posting
>>723872628Same anon. To be real I sorta stopped parrying once I unlocked this. ALOT more versatility.
>>723873281High test dude are also quick to anger. Probably quicker.
>>723864738in a vacuum? yes but compared to the OG its bad
>>723872628Also when you get home don't get to check the parry tutorial. Good luck anon
Give it to me straight anons: does the game shit on Ryu to prop up the new guy?For reference, I believe DMC4 did a good job selling Nero to me without making Dante look like a bitch.
>>723873000got it in two tries, it's pretty easy bro :)
>>723873315How hard/easy is it to say, block a string of 4 hits from an enemy and then try to let go of block and parry the last hit?Or do you just get fucked up immediately for letting go of the button?
>>723863667Meanwhile Itagaki made one of the worst games of the era that's scored 40/100 on metacritic and less in user scores.
I recommend max camera distance and angle, let's you see a lot more without seeming too far away.Also control scheme 3.Game is so in-depth that I recommend spending time in practice and committing a few combos to muscle memory. There is soooo much that you can do, I rarely even need to UT or use the rage mode.The consumables are very good, don't sleep on any of them and use them liberally.Currently I'm still using twin swords exclusively (ch7) and I genuinely can't imagine adding 1 additional weapon, let alone the whole roster of them.This is easily GOTY and the amount of play time I'm gonna get out of it will far exceed any of the other NG games, it's a fucken joy to play.
>>723873401>without making Dante look like a bitchWhen is the last time you saw the opening cutscene?
>>723872782Ninja Dog.
>>723873401
>>723873401Ryu mogs Yakumo in the first fight, and everyone speaks highly of him. In the rematch, Ryu was testing Yakumo because of some promise he made to Seori and Yakumo came close to hitting him.
>>723873401>Give it to me straight anons: does the game shit on Ryu to prop up the new guy?No lmao. In fact, the game suck the HAYABUSA so hard its kinda cringe in a way.
do you get anything for doing the purgatory stages?
>>723873401No, the game doesn't leave any doubts that Ryu is him. He's that guy, that he's that ninja. Character sound in awe and slightly afraid when his name comes up, it's a little much IMO. Just remember that it's Yakumo's game and his story.
So NG4 is bad?
>>723873425Its very easy I mostly just mash if I'm being honest. Normally so much shit is coming at you something will be caught in the activation window.Also you unlock the ability to move while blocking. For perfect dodges. If you're sitting there getting hit 4 times while blocking you're not going to have a good time.
>>723873550Talk to Tyron in the final chapter. Yakumo and Tyron talk about Hayabusa once more, and it's clear that even Yakumo holds Ryu is high regards.
>>723873401there’s a 40 minute cutscenes where every major character in the game takes turn sucking him off
>>723871281Ayane has only ever lost a couple of fights in her time and it's to Doku's goons when she was just a kid, then she lost to Kasumi a bunch because she is busted. She has beaten very powerful enemies like Genra and Obaba, and that was when she was only like 16-17 years old. I don't think Yacuckmo could beat her easily
>>723873538moneyalso might make your score go up not sure
>>723873634>Ryu fucks Irene>Momiji and Kasumi live in his village>By the time of NG4, the entire world is sucking off HayabusaGood, as it should be.
>>723872089Maybe because NGfags have been the most obnoxious posters on this board for decades.
>Ryu can switch and use ninpos>Yakumo can switch and use enhanced weaponsAyane will be playable and she will be able to switch kunaïs and use enhanced kunaïs.
>>723873047One of spammers is an actual redditor lmao >>723873290
>>723873538The sense of bullshit. All the ninja coins you earn just goes back into replenishing the items you used.I thought item usage would be disabled or something; the gauntlets themselves are too long to no hit it especially with the health deficit. On top of that the blood currency you get for the weapon is laughable small. They don't seem worth all the hassle.
>>723873685When you think about it, Kaaumi vs Yakumo is a better match-up since they're both super prodigies who have the potential to rival the apex of power, HAYABUSA.
>>723872859You're just too used to roll slot to be able to enjoy anything else. Happens to the best.I still think MGR has better gameplay than anything From Soft has made. Sue me.
Always wondered, because admittedly I never fucked around much with DOA besides 5 and kicking the shit out of people with Rig. Do they share any canon with Ninja Gaiden, or is it sort of like a guest character thing because why not?
I'm only on chapter 6 but so far I haven't been a fan of either location. Gameplay is fun but I feel like the game is missing something. Better than 3 but worse than 1 and 2
>>723873756kek, this will get you a D rank.
>>723873685all females in ninja gaiden are jobber bitches compared to male characters yakumo would be better as a tenchu ayame ripoff desu
>>723873464The opening cutscene where Dante lets Nero throw him around like a ragdoll for funsies?>>723873517>>723873528>>723873550>>723873634That's nice to hear. I like Yakumo's design and I don't mind following a new protagonist as long as respect is paid to the OG. I can endure overt legacy worship compared to the alternative of shitting on what came before.
So is the game any good? Did devs give it mediocre scores because they were filtered?
>>723872782Really idiotic. You can buy all of them by chapter 3 if you don't suck and need a billion items and have plenty of coin to spare.
>>723873401yes, yakumo steals ryu gameplay when he unlock last weapon , ryu only has ninpos as special gameplay and more raw dps to cope
>>723873685Nah you don't understand, I'm playing as Yakumo. Her ass is getting drilled.
>>723873952It's great. It actually has a higher score the NG2. And yes, it's journos being filtered, even on the mode that plays itself.
How was that one Ninja Gaiden DS game? Is it worth a playthrough?
THIS IS THE HARDEST GAME EVER for figuring out what way is the critical path and which is optional
>>723872782holy fucking casual
Purgatory gates with 75% health reduction on hard is brutal. Every non-ranged attack will kill you in one hit.
>>723873887>all females in ninja gaiden are jobber>Kasumi>jobberHave you played DOA? Kasumi is overpowered and is EASILY second to Ryu in that series. She mogs Hayate, Ayane, Raidou, Alpha-152, etc. As far as the top three ninja in the verse are concerned, it's without a doubt Ryu, Yakumo and Kasumi. No, Hayate isn't top 3. He's a meme who's well aware that Kasumi mogs him.

>trial>don't get hit lol dumb
Dude loves painting his hands. Especially his nails.
>>723873789same universe
>>723873887Only Rachel is the designated jobber, all she ever did was draw in a fight against Gamov and then injure Marbus. Ayane has lost before to Doku's goons but she was like 14. Momiji lost to Obaba and got taken captive but she was also like 17 and still in training. After that, Ayane and Momiji are very competent really.
>>723874089Hayate is such a dweeb. Has he ever done anything aside from getting his ass beaten so badly he got brain damage?
>>723874195Fatal Frame is too iirc, which is quite funny
The maps have more missables than I thought. I've completed 5 chapters and missed enemies and missions in most of them and I've tried to find everything. I only have 3 of the gourdy niggers.
>>723874021>if you go and check psn/xlive and steam profiles of journos who gave low scores it shows they got achievement only for completing game on hero modeyes im autistic like that but lol you simply do not hate western gaming journos enough.
>>723874048>>723873990The deluxe exit came with coins. I'd buy em if they were a micro transaction.Don't get upset with me because the game made heath regen pratically impossible. Also those missions are gay and retarded.The sooner I got the combat abilities the better I became. Locking it behind arbitrary money amounts is gayer than me.
>>723874240Lent Hayabussy his sword, which Ryu replaced with Genshin's.
>>723873000You can give yourself health back if you fall in the pit behind the fence
>>723874247That's funny to hear. How do they acknowledge it?
>>723873775Kasumis DOA coded though.
The music is so good in this game, every area has its fitting ost
>>723874290there isn't an achievement for hero mode you retard
Finally get to play as Ryu and man, Yakumo movesets SUCK.
>>723873443The main failure of devil's third is that it is ugly and the MC looks dumb. If the game had a good aesthetic people would be much warmer towards it.
Where is my Marie Rose DLC?
>>723874296Aw geez you just made me feel sorry for him.
I'd rather privately cheat myself some extra coins than publicly do this shit
Why is it that no matter who's making them, NG games never give you more than a handful of actually viable moves and 99% of your options are useless bloat
>>723874459Making a big online clan custom map multiplayer pvp game on the fucking wii u was certainly a contentious decision as well.
the black box weapon is so fun
The enemy variety complaints are retarded. Variants of enemies actually use different weapons and have different movesets. You don't just meet the same ninjas in a different color over and over again, unlike NG2.
>>723874538Cheating on online leaderboards is as pathetic as it gets.
>>723874132I really love this feature. It let's me know I'm finding something instead of accidentally walking to some point of no return.
>>723873443>ng razors edge briefly wii u exclusive >bayonetta 2 and wonderful 101 funded by nintendo >nintendo funds devils thirdwhat was nintendos infatuation with action games during the wii u?
>>723874640The exploding lantern fucks showing up in the forest made react like pic related.It didn't even make thematical sense
this city reminds me of blame!
Yakumo should get a orange suit.
>>723874686It sucks because back then it feels like most people would give it the ol college try and put legit scores up.Now cheating and hacking is so commonplace on PC (thanks to the Asians) that 99% of leader boards are bullshit day one. Makes you wonder why they even implemented it in the first place. At least give an option to filter by platform.
>>723874836Once people actually beat the game, we'll know what kind of scores are realistic. Just ignore everything above that.
>>723874429you vill return to yakumo and rike it at the end with the mcguffin sword
>>723874725I hate those little faggots like you wouldn't believe.
Worst ninja gaiden by far
>>723861361anons i need your helpive beaten the game but somehow missed 2 collectibles, powerpyx has the only good guide and all other websites just copy and paste his down to the typosanyone using one they mind linking that's reliable?Also, how do you get the obliterate every enemy achievement? I definitely obliterated every enemy in my first run, didnt pop.
>>723875041you did not play yaiba
>>723875074no one did
>>723875041Not even close.
>>723875074yeah when I say this i mean the main games : 1-2-3-4. no one cares about the rest. ngb > ng2b > razor's edge > 4
>>723864738>Gigadeath, Archfiend and Statue bosses would like a word>Neutered delimbinging and bloodIt's *okay* but let's not pretend its a misunderstood gem, its downright boring.
>>723875041Hell no
>played multiple games in the franchise and enjoy them for what they areSeems like this franchise and monster hunter. The act of playing a video game and liking them makes people seethe.Fascinating behavior.
>>723875114More people care about that game than your opinion, breh.
>>723874725>oh what's that, you're in a middle of a combo? lemme explode real quick
>>723874714I think nintendo just wanted any win they could get at the time and that genre was struggling so it was easy to get them on board
>>723865225>Ryu izuna drops you to end the first fight against him>Your team are always fanboying over him if you talk to them at the vendor points>Seori even compares his power level to Yakumo and Yakumo goes quiet>Can play as Ryu from 14 onward and hes the most powerful he's ever been>NG+ lets us play as Ryu in all chaptersyeah I'm not buying the "Ryu was robbed" narrative anymore
>>723875195you cared enough to answer, that's the same amount of people who cares about your yaiba thing.
>GOTY if the year>Most fun I've had playing a game since AC6>My G*d Mork will tell me I have to hate it because of magnetism and walking sectionsI can't take it. I already had to change my mind about Ragebound. I don't want to hate my favorite game this year.
>>723875247Mockery isn't caring. Someone cared enough to play that shit game. No one takes your opinions seriously.
>>723866849>game is underperforming>"bro just get it on gamepass"you are the problem.
How is Razor's Edge? And what made the original version of 3 so bad anyway? Also I think I remember a mention of something about the game having Ryu angst about killing normal people or something like that? Maybe I'm wrong though.
Goy Pass really is a game killer.
>>723875269Lel
Is there some kind of just release mechanic on the bloodraven charge attacks? Or do you just charge until it goes off?
>>723874538>cheat on single player leader board which gives 0 tangible benefits and nobody is going to believe such a high score with disparity with all the othersgenuinely what purpose does it serve
>>723875269KWAB
>>723875398For the drill and big sword, its just a hold mechanic. For the hammer and arms, its a just release mechanism.
>>723875332Can't be that bad of a deal if devs keep taking the money.It's just that the metrics have been diluted even further and now there is no real way to know if a game flopped or, if it did, how hard did it flop.
>>723875269Anon, use your potions. Its fine, not everyone is a sweatlord.
As an Amerifat who stayed up way too late. You guys were fun to chat with. Made a lil something for you guys to help stave off the schizos in future threads. There's no general on /vg/, Steam fourms is mostly people bitching about $70 games and reddit is dead. Sadly /v/ is the last place to discuss this game without joining a gay discord. Thanks again anons
>>723875504Just imagine how dead these threads would be if the game had denuvo.
>>723875496True. They got the sweatlord option right here for the world to see.
>>723875504Goodnight ameribro, I'm stuck on chapter 2 on masterninja, gonna play this game for hundreds of hours untill the dlc comes out
>>723875496>Use the potions>Game shames you for using items
>all weapons have unique bloodraven projectiles too
Hard is too hard bros. Currently getting raped by Ryu in chapter 19, any tips?
>>723875547Fucking blows this board is filled with poor brown retards from 3rd world shit holes. There's just as many reviews on ps5 as there is on steam but because the price of a ps5 in Brazil is about the same as a goat there's zero discussion from that community here.Fucking sucks ass
This game reminds me of Hi-Fi Rush in terms of gameplay and Armored Core 6 in terms of mood and presentation. Good stuff.
>>723875661I would say pick the weapon you're most comfortable with, don't do any long combo strings, only poke him and focus on blocking and dodging
>>723875612>Game shames you for using itemsAnon, the game is just recording your stats so you can do better in the future.
kino
>>723875496I want to sweat.
The Bloodraven Form being made fo blood is kinda disgusting, no?Anyway, cheer to Platinum for having the balls to give the good shit to the new brat unlike DMC or Bayo.
>>723875746How is the calculation done anyway? It just days x1 then the number of items but nothing is deducted from the score sheet.
>>723861361Is Rachel in it yet?
>>723875805Should have been 40% faster. Or let us press a button to grind faster ala sonic adventure 2. Felt way too slow at times
>>723875849haven’t played it yet was bayonetta 3 that bad?
>>723875891Lmao no. Why would she be in?
The chapter 4 purgatory gate on hard mode with 75% health reduction is ridiculous. You have like 20 of those explosive lanterns pelting you with shit from every direction and blowing themselves up on you while tengus and those dog faggots rape you.
I was afraid I wasn't liking this game but it just turns out that it just doing the modern DMC shit where its locking away most of your moveset behind upgrades so now that I've gotten a bit further in its really starting to click. I guess this is just how these games are gonna be now because people like progression systems and don't like being overwhelmed with mechanics.Still, probably my favorite playing Platinum game, overall I prefer NG2's gameplay but this is good
>>723875903Yeah when I was doing that section I was thinking how a trick button like JSR would've done wonders. Just something to fill the dead time and go faster
>>723875919I liked Bayo 3 but the Viola sections are terrible.
>>723875928Because she's hot?
>>723875661Unironically hold block until the 6th hit, dodge, then hit him with BR as he charges his UT. You stagger him and can do massive damage and if he drops a red orb, you can hold Y after staggering with BR to go straight into a UT.
>that side mission in chapter 2 where you have to fight all of the flying dudes and 30 people with machine guns
blooooooooooood
>>723875938I'm not sure why they did them like that.The rewards are dogshit and you end up spending the money on replacing your items. Should have given you shit like a free unlock of something like a weapon skill or a second accessory.
>>723875938AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>723876035Imagine the clotting. Bleh.>>723875978You already have Seori, the courtesan and Ayane
>>723875903In mission mode when you play as Ryu he sprints down the rail, much faster.
>>723875849Yakumo is possibly the best "next gen" protagonist i've seen mechanically, he gets his own unique tools that don't feel like they've been designed for brainlets, the potential combos and mixups you can do with bloodraven are insane. Dual swords remind me of Sam dlc in revengeance sometimes.
It's interesting. Being in the air is way more dangerous than previous games, but you also have a lot more ground defense/offense mechanics. Got grabbed and realized that the first time I got grabbed was a few hours in on like the tenth try on a boss. It's definitely a change from previous games where airtime is life and enemies really, really want to grab you and chunk your healthbar.
>>723865849for big enemies, the block doesn't do anything
>>723876072None of those girls are Rachel though.
>>723876053Same amount of them on the other side. I can't even imagine how hard this is gonna be on MN.
Where is Honkers?
>>723876051Maybe you get a costume or something for completing all of them. Platinum games tend to have a lot of unlockables. Who knows. Haven't looked into spoilers.
>>723875867That's a good question. Since i was playing on normal and just going through missions, i didn't even bother with the ranking screen. I'll finish, unlock the good shit and them try to get better ranks.
>>723876128probably sucking some dog cock in a dark alley
>>723876089Agreed. I'm mostly a DMCfag and one of my biggest gripes with Nero in 4 is he felt like he was half-baked, only one weapon, no switching, same two gun attacks. Yakumo is a fully-fledged toolkit, and hopefully, despite this game not selling too well TN lets Platinum do more games with him.
>>723876118That guy just bugged out somehow. You can block literally everything in this game lol as long as you have enough blocks left (theres an upgrade for that)If you imperfectly block red attacks it hurts but it's just chip damage, you can heal it back slowly
>>723861361Was there any marketing for this game? I never really heard anything about it till /v/ started sperging about it's low numbers on steam
>>723876094In the air? Not for long.
Just got to chapter 3 and I like it so far. It feels like Platinum played that ninja game, Ghostrunner, and was like, yeah let's do that but with Ninja Gaiden. It's certainly different to previous entries, but Bayonetta is my favourite action game so I feel at home with it.
>game is arguably one of the best in the series with the most amount of content at launch even in spite of Ryu's reduced weapon count>Mission mode lets us play as Ryu or Yak for the whole game>Auto-Cutscene skip for less monotonous replaysanyone who hates this game just because it isn't "selling well" or isnt NG2 should eat an Izuna Drop.
>>723876094>Being in the air is way more dangerous than previous gamesyeah that was messing me up at first. jumping was usually a solid option for retreat in 1-2
>>723876034>That one purgatory gate with an assload of lampshades and ghost dogsThat was indeed a fucking purgatory, holy shit.
>>723875952Every game does that these days, come on. They barely let you jump in games until you get a jump power-up 1 hour in. Not a big problem in this game since you get your first 5 or more skills in the very first chapter. It's meant to be replayed anyway.
>>723874240Hayate is a prodigy too, how Doa1 worked is that Raidou went after Him because he KNEW about Hayate and was prepped for him, he didn't know about Kasumi also being busted as fuck. Hayate is about Ryu level too, (He gets cuts scenes in DoA that on par with Ryu's bullshit) they just won't put him in a Ninja gaiden game yet.
>>723874039Have you tried to feel before you think? That's very important while playing Ninja Gaiden.
Is it true that Ryu has Underworld Drop?
>>723876187feels like ngb2 had more of a splash at launch than this. game is probably doing fine though. most players are probably on ps
>constantly switching dimensions and randomly meeting the ninjas from the beginningHoly...the music was nice too. This should genuinely get GOTY in a just world, everything is good. It probably won't even get best action game because r*dditsong exists
>game sets up item mixing like it's going to be a big part of the game>even shows they faux menu for it >they just auto craft and you get no say in what occursClearly it was supposed to be more involved than what it became
>>723876327Yup, it's one of his gleam upgrades.
Do you get MN if you beat the game on normal?
>>723876382apparently hollow knight is too hard for normies so i'd be surprised if it even got nominated for anything
>>723876306Hayate is very skilled but the games make a point of showing he is nowhere close to Ryu's level. Ryu basically beats him up regularly to show mild disappointment at his lack of power.
I JUST GOT FUCKING JUICED
My biggest pet peeve about this game is the amount of menuing and waiting for a game that really doesn't need it. Did the item/upgrade shop really need to be two seperate vendors? Did weapon upgrades have to be its own seperate menu?
>>723872472>unc assfuck off zoomer imposter
>>723876527Unironically buy the move where you hold RT (bloodraven) after a perfect dodge. It staggers the fuck out of him.
>>723876527Ya need that flying swallow to get back ASAP.Also I appreciate how unapologetically aggro the enemies are. I went berserk mode and the enemy still throw hands like nothing changed.
>>723876495Silksong is a fucking chore to play in ways that have nothing to do with its difficulty, relegating a gigantic chunk of your moveset to a finite resource you need to farm in order to use them consistently is subhuman tier retardation all on its own and enough of a reason to shun it.
>beat game>title screen changes>Ryu can now be played for the whole campaignliterally what is the issue, this is 10/10
>>723864687What specifically is removed from ninja gaiden black in sigma? Everywhere online just mentions "puzzles."
>>723876653>subtle foreshadowing
>>723876653Can you play through MN as him from the start or it's a clean save starting with Yakumo?
>>723876717When you beat it you unlock mission mode which will have all the difficulties you unlocked to choose from, carrying over your progress from your chosen save. I beat hard first, and it lets me do MN in mission mode.
>>723876653You literally just mentioned it, you have to sit through a long ass loading screen before the actual game starts. Fortunately, Yakumo isn’t that bad, and I never hated the design
>>723876826The loading screens are bafflingly long in this game. Especially to the practice area. Wonder if they'll be able to patch it up later.
I think I identified the problem I have with Yakumo apart from the fact he has the personality of a brick, it's that he isn't different to Ryu in a way that justified him being a new protagonist. Nero deliberately has some key similarities to Dante but beyond the surface they are very different, from personality to gameplay. When playing as Nero you feel nothing like Dante, his moves and abilities have completely different priorities and he can't do many things Dante can, but he can do some things Dante can't. Yakumo just gets given Ryu's basic abilities then has layers of stuff put over them, like they were afraid to have a character without flying swallow, izuna drop, UT etc. BUT also didn't want Ryu as the protagonist.
Never gonna happen, but I'd love a versus mode. One player as Ryu, the other as Yakumo, just slicing each other up while zip zooming around the screen like cracked out pitbulls. Don't even bother balancing it.
>>723875919it wasn't bad at all, the only people shitting on it are trannies upset that they made Bayonetta straight instead of the yass lesbian kween slay gurl that they fanfictioned themselves into believing
>>723876873>long loadstheyre almost instant on my m.2 samsung to the point where i was getting annoyed i couldnt read the popups
>>723876903You spend alot of time thinking about buff men and their younger muscle tone prodigies.Got something to admit anon?
>>723876826>>723876873Are you fossils not using an SSD?
Remember how ninjatroon said this game gonna beat e33 and win goty lmao
>>723876909I was thinking the same thing! It would be cool but fags would ruin it with cheating and out right bullshit play styles.Though a PvE Co-op horde mode would be dope
>>723877016Remember the daily disappointment you bring your mom?
>>723876653game is designed for yakumo, only cope its ryu raw dps and last weapon moveset
>>723877001I admit I want a different protagonist in this game and if they wanted a younger ninja to be the lead they already had 3 different pretty ladies to choose from, with one of them even being Ryu's apprentice.
>>723876497No it's literally just the company mascot bonus because Ryu is Temco's very first video game character from back in the nes days.
I'm watching someone play and all of the breakable objects are painted blue and all the movement interactives are orange. What the fuck is this shit? Is this some accessibility setting he's enabled or what?
>>723877194ryu aprentice its tuck in hell alongside spider bitch so they can add yakumo as new apprentice hell last ragebound update was add yakumo skin
Why the fuck is this random joke samurai harder than Ryu fucking Hayabusa. I literally beat his fight first try and I'm struggling against this fag's oni form
>>723864393
>>723877232Yes.>>723877280He shows up again in NG+ and he's even stronger, I think he's a joke boss.
Wait you guys aren't getting 10 second loading screens when you leave practice?Happens on my series x and pc
>>723877391Nude mods can't cum soon enough
>>723875041NGS/NGB > NG4 > NG3RE > NG2 > NG3 > NG2B > NGS2 > YAIBA
>>723876034Funnily enough, I did it first try. Dunno how.
Going through the forest ravine level and it's been boring as FUCK, are the enemies here supposed to be lame or did I suddenly get good at the end of the city level?
>>723877341Why are you doing practice to begin with? Just practice on enemies, you can't even play MN until you clear the game once anyway.But yeah, the one time I tried it it took ages to load. I think the game is loading most of the stage at once and unloading it when you go to practice, which is just dumb.
>>723877059>Though a PvE Co-op horde mode would be dopeJust remembered that Bayonetta 2 had that exact thing. They even let you play with characters that weren't playable in the normal levels. What a cool idea that sadly went underutilized.
>>723861361I don't much interest in buying but how's the game?
My only gripe is, why give Yakumo Ryu's entire moveset? For what reason? He already has 8 weapons.....
>>723877434Nah, they're lame. There's one point in a few chapters where they throw 4 big boy onis at you at once while you're getting pelted with miasma that was a bit hard though.
>Make an hyper sexo Ayane design>She is barely in the game
>>723877232There's a setting that highlights gameplay elements.
>>723877481It's platinum + NG. If you've played MGR, Bayo, or Nier a tomato, you know what to expect.
>>723877434The shield guys are ass since they're there to make you use your new drill weapon. Between them, the floating left testicles, wolf dude, and the flying demon fucks. The forest enemies just felt off. There was more cohesive design from the warehouse chapter.
>Must buy wind path and wind run skills>Must buy essence absorption UT >Must buy OLUT
>>723877315Sigma is easy as fuck
>>723877551Is it on by default or something? I started the game and there's yellow fucking paint everywhere.
Having a good time, wish I could turn off the pity you get for dying too much. I can beat my head against a wall until I figure it out and I hate trying not to use items that I didn't find.
>>723877446There were check marks clearly showing which ones you've done. I figured my Wolf daddy would give me something nice if I did them all.Gave up about 60% of the way through
>>723877254I wasn't talking about Failed Ryu Replacement #2, I was talking about Ryu's actual apprentice. Replacing Ryu with someone who is just Ryu but worse is fucking stupid, why not have someone who stands on their own rather than someone who reminds you how much better Ryu is.
I think the parry attack timing is just to hit the button just on the end of the parry effect. I've consistently got the attack this way.
>>723877341On my GAySUS Ratchet Or Ghetto craptop from 5 years ago and it loads just fine
>>723868078All of platinum's talent left to work at Kamiya's new studio>>723868473>they had modern team ninja breathing down their necks.Modern TN has a lot of artistic talent.
>>723877646Just load from checkpoint or back out to the title.
>>723877621Unfortunately that shit is baked in. I agree it's super ugly
>>723877652>Replacing Ryu with someone who is just Ryu but worse is fucking stupid, why not have someone who stands on their own rather than someone who reminds you how much better Ryu is.Hence Yakumo's existence. But I agree, Momiji need some love.
>>723877583>get to ryu and he has it all unlocked by defaultchad
>>723877280Ryu wasn't being serious.
>the forest/ravine of allah worshipping lanterns and endless wind projectiles>the sewers/underworld of zombies, dogs, fish need i say moreThose shitty areas are a huge chunk of the gameThank fuck the DDO headquarters came in like a light at the end of the tunnel
>>723877012I mean loading screens as game make you do a chore to unlock something, instead of giving you the content you actually want right away
>>723877675>All of platinum's talent left to work at Kamiya's new studioHow long until that implodes? The man made a bunch of classics back in the day, but he seems a bit of a has-been at this point.I mean, I hope Okami 2: Okami Harder is gonna be good, but I'm not exactly holding my breath.
Literally never played Ninja Gaiden, but I was getting MGR impressions (yeah yeah I know)Tell it to me straight, if I want a satisfying action game with a killer soundtrack, will I get it here?Is Ayane in the game, I need to know if my childhood DoA crush is still around
>>723877498Because mofos wouldnt play the game at all otherwise unless they could izuna drop or flying swallow, etc. When you understand the mentality of retarded Ninja Gaiden fanboys and their priorities, you realize the choices this games make are to distinguish the dickriders from the people who actually play and enjoy these games. That's part why Yakumo is designed to play exactly like ryu, minus the blood raven gimmick.
4>3 >1>>>2
>>723877667I'm using the Xbox app version (shout out to my 40 million dollar gamepass subscription).Just leaving a practice like webm related takes forever to load
>>723877605It's so much better than Black
>>723877814The sewer level was great. It's what I had in mind when I saw that this game takes place in a messed up future Tokyo, not big white square rooms with shipping containers everywhere.
>>723877879You seem to be a DMChad, so you will like this by default. Yakumo sounds like Vergil at all times and has his "nuffin personnel" gravitas that makes him amusing.gameplay is very solid. Dont let 2 autists shitting on it sway you, i've 100%'d every game in the series and I can confidently say 4 is one of the series' best. Music is fantastic, too. Viktor Borba did some of the boss themes. Ayane features in 2 chapters, you dont play as her but she appears.
>>723877879>SpoilerYes
>>723861361>>>/vg/
>>723877513Trust the plan, boss and playable Ayane in the dlc with her own version of Bloodraven / Gleamblade
I'm not shilling to get subs or anything on my youtube but if anyones curious how Ryu plays in chapter select: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVs9mPWCq0U
>Have grappling hook>Can't grapple enemies
KEEP BLOCKING ME BITCH
>>7238779151 > 4 > 2 > 3
>>723878014If I have to wait a DLC, I'll rather wait the complete edition lmao.
>>723877727Restarting from a checkpoint still gives you pity so quitting out and restarting the whole chapter is the only way. Also not fond of number of deaths and item use count towards your end of mission score but that's the old man in me wanting things to be closer to NGB and NG2 in terms of score but it's my first run so I can't be too mad.
>>723878048unironically this is my ranking
>>723877879Yeah it's exactly what you're asking for
>>723878073Damn that blows hopefully a mod shows up on nexus if you're on pc
>>723878031It would make the game too easy.
>>723878047Kek, guillotine throw feels so great in this game.
>>723877953For bitches that like an easier game sure
>>723877956>DISCO IN TOKYO>random graffiti>sci-fi door>industrial railsFIRE platinum's environment designer
>>723877879You would like this game very much.
>>723878138It would actually cause you to eat more shit, openning you up to more sneak attacks
What's the point of parry when perfect block reflect is better in everyway? Less risk, more reward (breaking boss strings, give window of stun which lead to more damage than parry)
>>723877865Kamiya is one of the most talented directors in the industry and it says a lot that Kamiya leaves Platinum and (supposedly) without directly asking them to join, a lot of people leave because they want to work with HIM.
>>723878048Also true
>>723878219It also happens with Itagaki and the result was Devil's Kino
So how are the girls?New age of SFM/Blender models coming? Yay or nay?
does ayane do anything?
>>723878280Ayane and Seori are hot as fuck, we'll be eating good.
>first three 3D Ninja Gaiden games are irredeemable dogshit>fourth one sells terriblyWhodathunk?
>>723877958>>723877978>>723878096>>723878194Excellent, that's what I need to hear.Wasn't at all on my radar until I saw impressions this last week. I didn't want to buy it outright, but I think I'll dive in.
>>723878310This. We'll be eating good soon.
>>723878272Itagaki resigned because he didn't get his raise. Unlike Hackmiya who fucked up Bayo 3 and got fired by Nintendo.
>>723878310Ayane already has much better models ripped from the Xtreme games and I think 2 Black as well. Her model is way worse here.
>>723878439>Hot 35+ year old milf ayane with bigger tits>"worse"one man's trash...
>>723878431Me when I spread misinformation
>>723878352She also cosplay as the major with an underboob.
>>723878431He wasn't the director for Bayo 3 and he willingly left, he literally couldn't work for a year because his contract had him under a non-compete clause
>>723878280I doubt it. Ayane still gets new animations and such but people just use her DOA Xtreme appearance. Ninja Gaiden 4 is nowhere near popular enough to get people to make art of Seori.
>>723878535>he willingly leftWhy, Project GG is just too good too be finished?
>>723878494I liked her better at N/A
>>723878494Ayane should be youngYou have Miyako and Helena for the milfs.
>>723878219To clarify, I hold no ill intent towards Kamiya, I'm just doubtful of his current output, that's all.
>>723878968She is no older than like 25 in this game, she was 18 last time she appeared and this doesn't take place like a decade later, just a few years. There's still time.
NG4 is the definition of trying too hard. Nothing about the game feels genuine and authentic. It all feels like it's trying hard to appeal to various demographics both in aesthetics and gameplay. It doesn't feel like the combat is made by people that had a real vision. It's pitiful.
Do momiji or Rachel show up?
>>723875952The very first game on Xbox also had weapons to upgrade that unlock more moves. So I don't know what the hell you are talking about. I think what you meant to say was that it has DMC's much slower upgrading which I don't know since I haven't played NG4 yet.
>>723879397Is this in the script for your next video, Mark?
>>723879662NG4 has two separate ways to unlock moves. You buy skills from the trainer, and you gain the equivalent of essence and buy moves for the weapons directly. The former is incredibly fast as you gain way more coin than you'll need for skills.
>>723879870NG4 is performing poorly, which means mork will praise it like it's the greatest hidden gem ever, only second to Wanted: Dead
