>>724046312Why did you post some literally who instead of the game's main character?
>>724046312https://x.com/Goufuem/status/1981444682682167353Master ninja Ryu gameplay
Sorry bro it's too hard for me, I played so much dark souls it seems insane to me to keep track of TWO enemies on screen.
>>724046312Why did you post Ryu when he's not even in the game nor is 95% of his moveset.also NO I will not. it simply looks bad. the environments looks bad, the lighting looks bad, the enemy designs look badthe floaty, magnetic combat looks badthe blood looks badthe sound design is badthe animations look bad and lack weight.I didn't play Bayo 3 and I wont play this garbage either.
>>724046469Yeah I'M GONNA PLAY IT!
we're in the other thread
>>724047808Your entire family should be raped and burned alive infront of your eyes.
>>724048361NTA Your sick fantasies aren't as interesting as you think, and you failed to counter any of his points.
>>724048443that's too harsh sis ...
>>724046312I think I'm halfway through but Katamari just came out, sorry Yakumo but you're gonna be down there in the disco sewers for a bit
>>724048361yeah ok Mohammed.
are purgatories different on mn/hard/medium?
You think we'll get a dlc for the girls? Would be kind of weird if NG4 was the only one where the girls aren't playable.
>>724049687the girls are much less important than ryu's weapons. those are what I'm hoping for
>>724049724Of course. I mean down the line, they've never been playable from day 1 in any of the games anyways.
Raging Valley is the worst chapter
The purgatory with the laterns is bullshit, I skipped that one.
>>724046312No
>>724050947I miss him. Also where did itagaki poster go?
>>724046312>safehorny gaidenno thanks
>>724051425Was probably absorved by the NG2 schizos who show up on every NG4 thread. You can't even tell'em apart anymore. The hateblob consumed them completely.
Kinda disappointed the DDB is not a fuck you greatsword in this one.
>>724052420Not only that but they didn't even bother making a moveset for it.they didn't make any animations..They could have recycled animations from NG1, they could have used NGS2 enma's fang animations, (not that it makes any fucking sense for twink fag to fight like Ryu) they could have even used great sword animations from other platinum games.But no they were so fucking lazy that they just cut and pasted the already badly ported animations from Ryu.I hope their shit fucking company goes under.
>>724052420There is a lore reason. Ryu couldn't use it efficiently because he is not of their bloodline, Yakumo uses it similiar to the Dragon sword because he imitates Ryu's moves. Yakumo takes twice as long to delimb enemies as Ryu though.
>>724053004LOOOOOOL faggot cope.this is what we call a plot contrivance.>Fagumo twinky member of a made up, irrelevant rival clan no one ever gave a fuck about before this game.>You are "the chosen one" >despite the dark dragon blade being held by the dragon clan, kept by the dragon clan, named after the dragon clan, used by me and destroyed by me before..>only a member of the RAVEN clan can use the dark... DRAGON... blade... to fight a dragon....hmmm yes makes sense>you see despite the fact that the dark dragon can bleed and be killed without the dark dragon blade.. and I could easily kill it ..no ONLY YOU yes YOU can defeat it.>don't ask me how that works tangibly in any practical sense it just works>and yes me Ryu being a legendary ninja from the strongest clan who has trained all my life means that you a homosexual faggot twink self insert by the platinum devs can copy my moveset after seeing me fight for 5 seconds.>this is totally the reason and not because Platinum were too fucking lazy to animate a proper moveset for the weapon.>yes the same company that recycles animations so egregiously, that they even use standing animations in mid-air, would surely never do that...
>Sounds like Yakumo apparently knows Ayane>Tells her to fuck offI guess the ninja clans that do the dirty work know each other, makes sense.
How do people have *checks notes* 1trillion karma in the trials?
>>724053802yea he goes .........here it is...... when finding ayanes butterfly shurikens in ng+, he's kinda tired of her already
>>724053802I clapped when he said the edgy thing.
Should I drop the difficult to Normal? Hard Mode feels almost too hard. I'm at the first sub-boss(?), that one singular DDO guy and he's busting my ass. I also turned off all the assists because it made it feel too much like NG3 with all the slow motion. I'm spending hours just on simple bosses and mobs.I've played a lot of action games but this is the hardest so far next to something like Shinobi or Nightshade on the PS2 that had awful checkpoints.
>>724054193first play through should be on normal, second playthrough with Ryu on hard, the you play masterninja
>>724054193I found normal to be reasonably difficult, after beating the game I switched to hard mode and the game is super easy. MN is still way too hard.
This mini boss is bullshit in MN, every attack is a oneshot. I just cheesed him with the assassins tool stunlocking him
>>724054753"0.5 % of players." Thats fucking sad. Will this game break even at all?
>>724054863Dude it's a NG+ achievement that's pretty hard to spot and requires you to do all the previous encounters too
>>724054581my plan was to beat it on normal then go on hard and MN but yeah hard isn't hard when you have 10+ hours experience, MN is good though
Im going insane, i swear im not hitting anything in chapter 6 but the trophy isn't popping.
>>724055054I got it with ease on chapter challenge trying out Ryu, are you sure you don't have any assist enabled by accident
>>724054863>Will this game break even at all?I sure hope not. a monumental fuck up like this deserves firings.
>>724046312i'll pass. Not trying to play as some retarded new guy and a severely nerfed Ryu. NG deserves to die for trying to push some new idiot instead of the guy we all love. If you want to introduce a new guy he should have less gameplay than the main guy.
I'm very early in the game doing the first secret mission thingy. I have flying swallow. I did flying swallow in the middle of an air combo instead of the usual finishers like izuna drop and such. How the fuck do I do it again?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKyXvNkGQKc
>>724055582people were saying that you need to do forward + Y without holding the forward just 2 quick actions
>>724055507It was over without itagaki
>>724055702That was it. Thanks anon. I don't think I can do it in the same combo string as an izuna though.
Is SSS that highest rank you can get?
FUCK the poison tanks
>>724055702Alright but now what's the secret to doing it consecutively? For the purpose of an air combo I mean. It looks like so far I have to do at least 1 or 2 light attacks in the air but not 3 because it will trigger izuna. I think if I flick the stick towards the enemy each time I can do it up to three like with barrage.
>>724056026It should be
Why the fuck is obliterate so finicky?
>>724053659Ryu is from the Hayabusa (Falcon) clan, of the Dragon Bloodline. Yakumo is from the Raven clan, of the Dark Dragon bloodline. You can't even get this small detail right.
I managed to finish the first mission without it crashing and can now comfortably refund it.Holy shit its so fucking bad. Forced to slowly walk while characters talk on the radio. Then a cutscene. THEN MORE SLOWLY WALK WHILE CHARACTERS TALK ON THE RADIOFINALLY I CAN FIGHT THREE (3) ENEMIESTHEN ANOTHER FUCKING CUTSCENEWHAT THE FUCK
>>724060040are you proud of being an adhd retard or what?
>>724060342I'm proud that my country had the spine to force valve to respect consumer rights so I am able to refund this absolute garbage.
>>724060040Yes, welcome to the mandatory tutorial section, did you not notice that you didn't have a health bar? Chapter 1 is when the game actually starts.
>>724060483That's what I meant by the first mission. Chapter 1. I was not including the tutorial. I was hoping this was unique to the tutorial. It was not.The silver lining is at least itagaki didn't have to live to see this trash.
>>724060564ng2 fanboys constantly disrespecting a dead man is funny
>>724060658You know what I AM going to go play ninja gaiden 2. Right now. Just because you mentioned it and reminded me I could be playing a fun game to cleanse myself of this disgust.Enjoy your bayonetta clone or whatever the hell this is meant to be. Assuming you even played it.
>>724060564I was going to say chapter 1 is a bit cutscene heavy too, actually. >>724060803>NG2 babbyOh, never mind, solid bait.
>>724046312Finished normalOn to hard.
>>724049687>You think we'll get a dlc for the girls?I highly doubt it because we're getting more weapons for Ryu and Yakumo.It would be nice to have at least Ayane playable though.
>>724060803Is this your first video game in 20 years?
>>724055612The one where you see the boss's POV as Yakumo is obliterating it is pure edgekino.
>>724061505if you put the first seconds of gameplay of NG2 and NG4 side by side how can you call that anything but regression?
>>724046312so how long does it take to beat the story mission first try?also how tough is the game?i suck at countering, maybe its my tv or my controler but regardless of the game i almost never get the timing right
>>724061558my favorite one is where he just constantly bonks his hammer from left to right on the boss
>>724046469is most of the game you just fighting cyber ninjas in a huge tower or does it change up eventually and let you fight demons in new locations as well?
>>724046312I wish this game succeeded financial but fuck now we probably won't get another ng game again
>>724061885Like 10 hours, less if you don't die a lot more if you're bad
>>724046312Flop gaiden 4
>>724061885>so how long does it take to beat the story mission first try?It highly depends on how much of the level you explore, purgatory gates, normal or hard, which settings you do.Could be anywhere from between 10 to 20 hours.Mine was about 17ish hours, 11~ hours in-game time on the final results screen, doesn't count all the failed checkpoints and time you spent dying.I could've spent plenty more hours if I wanted to grind out hell mode purgatoriesAnd then you unlock mission mode and boss trials after you beat the game which adds some hours too, and beating all boss trials unlocks the final weapon for Yakumo to be used in chapter challenge and NG+.Game can be decently tough.
Just killed the final boss on my first playthrough (Hard) at literally 7:58 before my 8:00 morning work check on call.Thanks for the motivation Ryu.
I do not understand how to trigger obliterates. How the fuck am I hitting a dude with no arms or legs with three heavy attacks before the fucking thing finally happens?
>>724061941There's a fairly long stretch of missions were you basically fight exclusively daemons in this mountain forest shrine place.
>>724061941you also fight them in a forest then disco then a huge white tower, everyone is just doing clips on the first/second chapter now
>>724046312Oh look, it's this week's overpriced game that paid millions for streamers to shill the fuck out of, then it's forgotten forever.
>>724062176If you delay your heavy you wont go into the OT, and if you're in the middle of a heavy string I don't think you go into OT as well
>final boss themeMight just be the best final boss in Platinum history, maybe tied with Armstrong.Easily best final boss in NG.
>>724060040>Without it crashingWorks flawlessly on my machine
>>724062292I've had times where I hit a dude from neutral with my heavies and he still doesn't get obliterated until the second hit. It feels so bad and it's getting me killed.
>>724060040>I managed to finish the first mission without it crashing and can now comfortably refund itPeople had problems with NG4? I never had a crash or stutter in my 10 hours gameplay. Shit runs really good.
>>724062470i get that too but only on tengus
Ryu feels good to playI desperately miss the neutral launcher and the X hold Y string launcher that keeps you on the ground though, not having that just feels really strange to me.I felt a bit better about him once I started to chain in the back to forward strings he has.
>>724062770Really don't know why hold Y isn't in the game. The forward motions were removed because every newfag holds forward while attacking and they'd be confused but no one is holding X/Y in strings by accident
What counts towards the Death Counter and Item counters in terms of chapter ranking? Especially if you want to keep both at 0. I also heard what happens in Purgatory doesn't count/affect the chapter ranking itself, is that true? Finally, are the point values for getting each rank static or do they change depending on the chapter?
>>724055507Ryu isn't nerfed retard, he's busted just simple but still fun to play and they are already clearly going to add more of his weapons. You can't not buy the game and then complain when they cut stuff probably because of budget and sales expectations
>>724062903Yeah it's a bit too big of an omission for me.
>>724061941They actually did a pretty good job with the pacing of enemy types.
Im playing on hard and its reasonably difficult Id say. Really makes me use all of the movesets and items at disposal and it feels great. Im still unable to obtain better than rank C. Do I miss special bonuses if I don't have A or S rank ?
Does the camera feel too close to you guys? I don't feel like I can see enough and too much shit hits me from off screen.
I miss Seori
>>724063998You can zoom the camera out in the options. There are some more camera options that help as well.
Absolutely one of the best action games to have come out in the last decade, not that there's not much competition. Glad to see Platinum still got it
>>724046312I plan on it as soon as I finish Absolum.
>>724064587Is Absolum fun? I'm a bit turned off by the roguelite stuff, but the frog looks fun.
>>724064551....dmc5 and ...... bayonetta 3 and ....... lost soul aside
>>724064657Lost Soul sucked ngl.Bayonetta 3 have some really good parts and unique mechanics but way too much irrelevant shit constantly in the levels that are too obtrusive and Viola's gameplay sucks absolute ass. I hear they patched the game and improved her a bit, but I haven't played the game since release.I loved DMC5 lots though.If you include Lost Soul Aside you have to include FFXVI as well since they got the same type of forced arbitrary rpg mechanics and shit, and XVI is basically like DMC5-lite.
>>724064636I hate roguelites and I can't stop playing, the core is good on it's own albeit it after some upgrades.
Anons that beat the game already. Do you get to replay all missions as Ryu later on or is it still just the twink?
>>724065183>Do you get to replay all missions as Ryu later onYES, he can be played in all of Yakumo's missions in chapter challenge.
She was Ryu's SeoriDLC hopes>Yakumo mission where he goes to the Dark Dragon Village to pay respects to Seori and erect a gravestone for her like Ryu does for Kureha in 1.>Raven Clan village under siege mission by DDO seeking Revenge, we get to see the Raven Clan more closely>Hayabusa clan also under siege by DDO>Yakumo and Ryu meet up again and decide to dismantle the entire organization
DMC4>Order of knights with an all white headquarters that have laser trapsNG4>Order of knights with an all white headquarters that have laser traps
why is there a shrine between every other combat encounter. the game feels so fucking lame to play.
>>724065425funny when you remember that DDO are the good guys and we're villains killing the people who are protecting the seals
>>724065640NG5>The new youngster and the old veteran are actually related
>>7240463122nd best game in the series after Black and I will die on that hill. NG2 boomers wont engage with the new system because it makes them look lacking of skill to their twitch viewers.
>>724065425>DLC hopesMore daylight areas, but I feel this is a lock due to how the main game endsSpider Clan Ninjas, again I think this is a lock because they're in the extra challenges and not the main game.My biggest fear is that they'll treat DLC Ryu and Yakumo as different characters with different toolkits. I hope they're straight up just upgraded versions of their existing versions
>>724065764NG2 literally has this.
>>724046312fuck off shill
I'm about to start the ninja trials to unlock Dark Dragon Blade lads.
>>724046312Last thread someone spent like 200 posts sperging about Ryu only having 1 Ninpo. What's this?
What am I doing wrong regarding the health system? Enemies just keep chipping my health away through each encounter until I die from the cumulative damage of several fights. At the same time, I don't feel like healing because if I die I respawn at full health anyway. Am I being dumb here or is the health system kinda stupid?
>>724066067Yeah they're lying, just like most doomposters about NG4. Shocking. >>724066068Wear the charm that gives you health for OTs and the charm that gives health for berserk executions, those were a game changer for me.
>>724066063do you need to do all the bosses or the actual trials?
Could Muramasa in his prime beat start of NG4 Yakumo?
>>724066068Nah I kind of agree, the game feels like its designed around healing items, but you also get a score reduction if you use them. I guess they really wanted to make the game insanely difficult for score fiends. But I miss blue essence
>>724065886But they are, no?
>>724066181Muramasa is likely some actual god of fortune or craftsmanship, and he may have always been old. It's hard to say anything about him really, other than he is the best character in the series.
Killed the shark last night (so Um at chapter 11). Is it me or the music is...really good? wtf
Should I try the master collection first or is it safe to jump straight to 4? Safe as in I won't be confused by the story or some shit.
>>724062074fpbp
>>724066454It's safe, there's a 3 min cutscene explaining why everything is happening
>>724066454You will be fine either way. The story in 4 has nothing to do with the other games, you can go back and play the master collection later if you want.
>>724065960>More daylight areasMan the credits fight was kino.
>>724066136I'll do the combat trials before the boss trials just to find out for you anon.
>>724066454NG1 and NG4 are so incredibly different that its hard to recommend one over the other, I love both, but NG4 definitely feels more like a Platinum game, and it has way more QoL and tutorializing than NG1 does, so its definitely going to be easier to jump into
>>724066387it's good and not because of the vocal stuff but every area has fitting music, i liked the spooky one in chapter 3 in the red light district
Why is the lighting in like all of the Ryu chapters such shit? You can barely see anything.
How do you do a flying swallow out of shurikens in NG2? Everything I can find says wait for the fourth shuriken to thrown and FS immediately after, but most of the time that just does an on landing Y, or sometimes it does a neutral aerial Y.
>>724065960>DLC Ryu and Yakumo as different characters with different toolkitsDo you mean like they are separate playable characters from their main game versions and you can't take them into the main game and vice versa?That honestly sounds super retarded if that ends up happening, if I'm understanding you correctly.It's too retarded for me to think it would happen. I think the main game is a bit too good for me to have a fear like that... Plat did make Bayo 3 Viola and Babylon's Fall so they're no strange to completely retarded decisions.
Is he okay?
>>724066281In some extremely extremely distant manner they might be since the Raven Clan is a branch clan of the Hayabusa Clan.
>>724066721Is it? I thought the raven clan and hayabusa clan are 2 different not connected clans? i thought they talked about all that how hayabusa are always in the spotlight but the ravens are always in the shadows or am i misremembering
>>724066671Get a better tv
>>724066673The timing can be a bit tight, but just try to do the shurikens and then input forward y towards the enemy after. Keep practicing.
can't wait to see no hit runs
>>724059428Why did they translate the name of the Raven clan and not the Hayabusa clan?Is Yakumo's name Yakumo Raven?
>>724066819>Is it? I thought the raven clan and hayabusa clan are 2 different not connected clans?Yeah it is, the archives section in the main menu go into a bit more detail. They outright state that Raven Clan is a branch of the Hayabusa clan.I think one of the conversations with Umi or Tyran reveal it too.
my only complaint so far is that with all the mayhem, parries are almost always an accident. I understand that if the window was any bigger it would be extremely overpowered, but as it stands its literally something that happens once in a while and you go "oh yeah this is a thing I guess"
>>724066068You have like 3 items before you lose score multiplier (0 gives you 1.2x). But yeah there's very little natural healing, it's a game of attrition, do your best to survive until the next Umi terminal for a full heal. The charm for heals on obliteration help a lot.
>>724046312Ninja Gaiden 4 is based for saving lives as we speak, see pic related.
>>724046312It's incredible that we have games like this.
another ongbal video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRMYcZK7Kjk
Alright, I had enough of shitposting for the day. Gonna go back to playing the game and bitching about it. Take care anons
>>724067293is he still abusing parries and ut, he made ryu look like a chump
>>724067293Is this Kagachi guy the Jetstream Sam of this game?
>>724067201BASED
>>724067178Sounds like a skill issue.>>724067405He's clearly meant to be, but the lack of characterization for him just makes him kind of pointless. It's basically just the Ryu fight but less fun.
>>724067201That anon summed up perfectly how this game made me feel. Games like NG4 and DMC5SE come once in a generation.
>>724067405Not really, Ryu is more the rival in this game
>>724067381Yeah, his playstyle is honestly really boring to watch in NG in my opinion.
>DMC5>Bayonetta 3>Ninja Gaiden 4I'm honestly grateful, even if they're very spaced out, it feels like 6th gen times.
>>724067293LtL is our guy though
>>724067603i watched the video and this was better since he kept switching weapons
>>724067672I thought this one was shit because he's blocking and dodging away from too many attacks like a little bitch. Waiting warmly for a full parry chad to show up.
I'm really not a fan of the back-forward inputs in this game, the 360 motions seem to trigger on half circles as well so sometimes I accidentally fuck up the input, I wish it was still forward like the old games, or at least forward-forward like Bayonetta
>>724067529>DMC5SEWHERE IS THE PC PORT CRAPCOM, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS??!!!!! WHY IS IT STILL CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE?????
>>724067034Yakumo Karasu, maybe. Speaking of which, I always find it weird that even in the original Japanese, Ryu's full name is still read as Ryu Hayabusa instead of Hayabusa Ryu. I wonder why that is.>Why did they translate the name of the Raven clan and not the Hayabusa clan?Hayabusa sounds cooler.
>>724067870anon...
>>724066136Just the bosses
>>724067870Is it /v/ culture not to consider Steam version as PC game?
>>724067870Modders already added turbo and LDK and the ray tracing is kind of ass honestly, I own both DMC5SE and DMC5 PC and when I play it's always on PC, you're really not missing out
the guy that voices yakumo is named Steven fucking PRINGLE
>>724067985DMC5 SPECIAL EDITION and DmC: DEFINITIVE EDITION both never came to Steam. Capcom seems to hate PC players for some bizarre reason.
>>724068090What are the differences between the PC mods and the official SE version of those mods? Which ones are better?
>>724068251What do you have against canadians?
I have playtested the dlc for ninja gaiden 4. I am not going to spoil the story, but I have to let the fans know something. Please buy the dlc, it might be the best ending to ninja gaiden. The story itself I won't spoil, but you unlock the final mission after beating every mission on master ninja, basegame and dlc.In the final mission Ryu and Yakumo have to slay 50000 enemies each, it's a very long battle of attrition. You also have to restart from 0 when you die. With Yakumo, he gets beat after you kill the 40000th enemy, and a cutscene like from a movie plays, where he is blody and on the floor. It seems like he is dying, but then you start hearing Ryu's theme and him fighting in the backround, getting louder and closer. You hear him doing UTs and Izuna dropping people. He says "Yakumo" and he stares at his back for like 15 seconds, while his scarf flaps in the wind and his theme plays. The camera pans out and you see Ryu had slain his side of enemies, while there is still 10000 on Yakumo's side.He says "leave the rest to me" and you have to kill the remaining enemies while the credits roll, and they made Itagaki a permanent name appearing in the credits.It's a very fitting end to ninja gaiden, so please all buy the game and the dlc. I had to get this off my chest, goodbye.

>>724067638Question out of curiosity, how does Bayo 3 run on the Switch 2? I need to get around to finishing it but if I do I'll either do it on Emulator or when I grab a Switch 2 at some point in the future so I can play Kirby.
>>724068794sample
>>724068659>They were the good guys.The game talks about how corrupt the organization is a bit.The organization also have 2 leaders, Kagachi is just the military side, but there is also the political leader that we don't see in the game.Think about this, when Tokyo is freed by Yakumo all of the political leverage the organization has evaporated.I'm sure the political leader is some super schemer who is now out for blood.
>>72406884860fps because they left the switch 1 version uncapped, but the resolution is stuck at 720p so it looks horrible on the switch 2 screen.
>>724068607Team ninja have done the same thing for the final fantasy game dlc though
>>724068646Because it was designed for gamers.
>>724068646Herbivore males are intimidated by powerful women, so she was designed to be non-threatening to the modern male audience.
>>724068848It's perfect 60 fps now.

>>724069208this is the same guy who paused the game in chapter 14 to go on a 2 hour rant about how the chest open animation was inferior to 2they are on max cope as to why they suck
>>724069212I liked 3RE's story unironically. Ishigami was cool and almost all the shit from vanilla 3's story was cut out by vastly reducing how intrusive it was to the gameplay.The Genshin cutscene is also KINOOOO
>>724069286yeah only one, bigger camera = more action on screenit feels like shit with the camera close
>>724069225Ah yes, the Vacuum robot of death.
>>724069286You can zoom the camera closer in the options menu
>>724069308I think if you play 3RE with no knowledge of the original NG3 it's safe to call it a fine enough story, easily better than NG2 and NG4 in my opinion. But many peoples' view of it is permanently tainted by the original NG3, which is pretty hard to get over.
when are cosmetic mods coming
>>724069418I can understand that, but I never played vanilla 3 so I was never tainted by that.I'd probably rate the stories like NGB > NG3RE > NG2 = NG4 being about equal for me.
>>724069208His 12 hour stream was hillarious. He refuses to play the game by using the new mechanics. I laughed so hard at him losing his mind after he got the third weapon and saw the combo list.
What are our thoughts on Raeng's suggestions?https://x.com/RoytaMustDie/status/1981670785115898206
Protecting his Hayabussy after past anal rapes.
>>724069418What were the story changes between vanilla and 3RE? I thought it was just the added Genshin scene?
red orbs should heal you A LOT more
>>724069674Tell me about Hayabusa. Why does he wear the muscle suit?
>>724069664NG4 is my 2nd fav after Black and I agree with all of this.
I beat the game and got all the skills from Tyron, wtf?
>>724066974Hm. I can land it somewhat consistently off of a wind path but nothing else.
>>724065924>2nd best game in the series after BlacNo wonder lol, unlike 2 and 3, 4 is an actually finished game.
>>724069767He got traumatized after Doku killed him when he was wearing normal Ninja clothing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wNvxsDrdRo
>>724069863They count the collectible ones you find as Ryu into this and the DDB moves.
>>724069736They completely remove the theme of Ryu struggling with the curse on an emotional level as it makes him feel the weight of all the people he has killed, and also removing scenes of Ryu slowly killing surrendered enemies begging for mercy. In Razor's Edge, the curse is kept as a crippling effect Ryu sees as a nuissance and has to suppress while he tries to get rid of it, only suffering from it physically killing him slowly.
>>724069935based
>>724070000Weapon Skills are different category to Combat Skills.
>>724069664Some of them are good.I've not personally noticed anything with targeting much, I feel like I just need to get better at the game since it feels so differentI swear I feel like I have OT'd dead enemies before, but I guess notI have no problems with the essence right nowHold moves after OTs seems too ambitious of an ask but would be goodRegular shuriken is a single one for Ryu afaik, it's multiple for Yakumo, I think that it's okay that they have different shurikens, makes them feel a bit more differentNo problems with the timing for the back forward input for meI don't think damage values should be tweaked, delimbs on some enemies like van gelfs, big samurai and the big black monster thing with eye on his chest yeah, but I feel like not enough testing have been done on which moves have higher chance to delimb so I would wait on this suggestion for a bit>magic pixel, health at save stations only being one and heal when you dieNah, keep it like it is. If they add this then they need to remove the scoring detriment for using items as well>low on hp screenabsolutely should at least be an options to turn it off, I hate it>remove beat the waveYes these things are super annoying too>faster loads on deathYes too>Umistations force checkpointYeah
>>724070068Then it'll be a ryu chest he's missed.
Day 4 of Blader being missing in action. Do you think he's literally going to carpet bomb Platinum at this point?
>>724069869Are you holding the stick forward constantly? Try to do that.
Momiji would hate Yakumo's guts. They should be coprotagonists if there is a NG5.
>>724068607>brand suicideWho gives a fuck? NG is a closed book after this. They can do whatever they want. Ending the series with Ryu obliterating the final army of evil once and for all while paying tribute to Itagaki is perfect.
>>724069623>refuses to use the new mechanicsYou should do fine enough without them. His fundies must suck ass then.
>>724070216I'm gonna be honest anon.I do not care about Blader at all, please stop posting about your niche micro e-celeb.
>>724069761No
>>724070283>paying tribute to Itagaki is perfect.he expects modern tn to care about that
>>724070246I did try that. Off of a launching Y and a flying swallow, neither of them I can get enough height to make it in time, it seems. I did try grounded launching Y shuriken cancel into flying swallow hoping that aiming it slightly up to hit the airborn enemy would help, but doesn't seem to.Though figuring out how to do it off of a wind path does help with the timing. I think a lot of my practice was doing it a bit too late. Its like right as you throw the fourth shuriken I think.
>finally beat a demon gate>game fucking kills itselfAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA>restart game>it actually saved my completionthank you game, very cool
>>724070048Good. The whole murderer trauma was dumb cause he fixated in a random dude while killing thousands of others as if it was nothing. At least make it about how realized all those people had family or something
>>724069664speaking of targeting how the fuck are you supposed to deal with those annoying flying enemies? It's hard as shit to cycle through every enemy there to accurately target them to get their annoying ass out the air.
I know story isnt important in 3D NG, but what the fuck? I could do a much better job writing this stuff, cant believe someone is getting paid for this shi
>>724070391>you're getting rapedNo, fuck you faggot. I already raped DMC4.
>>724070470Yeah he just don't give a fuck about it in Razor's Edge. It's like "ok how do I fix this?" then Jo goes "I don't know son" and Ryu is like "Ok, gonna go finish the mission"He's the usual stoic Ryu who just finishes the mission while tanking the curse like in NGB where he just tanks the fiend curse.
>>724070180Most likely.
>>724070274If Momiji was in Tokyo she would hear about the whole ordeal and think "Purify the dark dragon? What's so hard about that?" and do it with a snap of her fingers. Momiji is purity personified.
>>724070823>Momiji is purity personified.Kasumi is more pure since Momiji is a NG character.
Any ashen pipe chads itt?
>>724070470Yeah. I always found it funny how they basically did the same story beat as MGR would do barely a year later, with Raiden having to confront his own violent nature and years of killing people, even having the same outcome where he kind of embraces it and stops giving a fuck because he understands his cause is righteous and killing is part of who he is.
>>724069664Actually reasonable list for the most part. Targeting I don’t think is an issue personally, and OT not working on dead enemies is definitely a balance choice as OT fills up your bloodraven a lot and you have to be careful with how you eliminate enemies with that in mind. Otherwise I’m actually agreeing with this guy, surprising
>>724070928Yes, pure sex.
So the DDO soldiers are good guys, and we keep murdering them like its a slaughterhouse... you think they have insurance at least?
Are any of Yakumo's back-forward moves useful? I kind of forget that they're there half the time.
>>724070928Last I heard, they both live together now at the village. That's a lot of purity. Ryu probably has them stay together.I recently played Warriors Orochi 3 which has both of them as guest characters who are part of the story. There is a moment where the big powerful demon villain dude has his powers negated just by Momiji being around, as he feels her purity and spiritual power is that powerful. Nothing like that happens with Kasumi so I will take his word for it.
>>724068894>>724069072Cool. Loved the gameplay but the bad framerate with the baf plot made me drop it near endgame.
Sanzeon theme. Now.
>>724071351Some are good for getting in the air, I also think the drill has one or to moves with a lot of mobility, but cant remember if its back forwars or a 360 motion
>>724071041yeah this shit is busted with the dual swords
>>724070573me too fellow chad
>>724071351Back forward on drill in berserk form is a beast.
I can’t believe how fucking good the game is. Hope all the curmudgeonly schizos can warm up to the game and enjoy it too >>724071351A lot of yakumos back forwards are good for repositioning/moving with a hitbox, definitely experiment with them
>>724071681Mein ninja. Always happy to see another video game player in these halls.
>>724071351I'd say most of them have utility, but back forward heavy on Yatousen is probably my favorite launcher in game.
I wonder how TN feels about people praising it as some of Platinum's best work
>>724071351his katana bf x is like a stinger and delimbs like crazy, also seems like it has iframesbf y is good for knocking enemies over a ledgedont really use the other ones
>>724071937I love this genre man, even with DMC and NG playing so mechanically different both provide a high no game can match.
Unironically how do I git gud with Yakumo? Any tech? I raped this game on MN twice with Ryu so far but with Yakumo I barely struggle through to chapter 3 MN.
>>724072042>>724071681>>724070573Redpill me on getting started with rank autism. I didn't used to be a rankfag but something about this game and these threads makes me want to go through my entire library again
>>724046312Are all Ninja Gaidenfags actual poorfags?The fact that sales seems to sink like a brick is telling.And if there are a few rich ones, why not help and buy the games for some of the poorfags?You only need a few rich ones to help dozens.You know what nevermind, it makes more sense that everyone here are poor.
>>724072105spam dodge
>>724072019TN hasnt made a good game since 3RE. they only got themselves to blame
>>724072105Just lance everything to death, you move so fast nobody can hit you.
>>724072170Unironically Red S letter goes brrrr in the brainOnce you learn jump cancels, distortion and inertia in 4 you can easily S everything even without learning guard flies and reversals.With DMC5 for Nero you just learn what devil breaker trivialises each level. I use Punchline into the whip into Ragtime into Devil Buster to one shot even furies on H&H and DMD. For Dante, style switching and jump cancels will carry you as well as learning when to SDT during SSS. For V, empowering your demons on autopilot and switching them to both respective triggers makes the game easy. For Vergil...just be Vergil.
>>724072198>Are all Ninja Gaidenfags actual poorfags?No, just mentally ill. The low player count on Steam is because of the game being on Game Pass day 1.
That sekironut's ban has lifted and we'll never have a halfway decent NG thread until he's banned again. You guys know what to do.
>>724072385>Post literal CP>2 day banHuh?
>>724072105Abuse the shit out of wind run and wind path along with Guillotine throw and shurikens for crowd control. Keep moving with wall runs and FS. Weapon swap to match the situation (drill/rapier for killing individuals, staff for CC, etc), use blood raven liberally and don’t forget their unique jump/dodge attacks. Pogo stance in particular is very strong. Good luck anon
>>724070216Looked him up, if you sound like a fag you shouldn't make videos. Youtube was a mistake in making the average person think they're not goyslave cattle and are capable of making something good.
It’s on Gaymu Passu.
>>724072198>Are all Ninja Gaidenfags actual poorfags?There are three factors at play:>A niche franchise like NG releases on game pass for free day one with no Denuvo, so subscription fags and pirates can have free reign>it released 2 weeks after yotei, another normie-core "Ninja Game" so they cant justify buying two in one month due to consumermindset>2 jihadists like Farnham who insist every game must be Ng2 or it's bad have been doomposting it to their impressionable audienceit was doomed no matter how good it turned out to be.
The Dragon Sword weapon skills are nuts. Several of them have 4 - 7 hit combo strings and others give you i-frames and repositions you. The only thing annoying about the Y/Triangle combo string is that it can trigger obliteration.
>>724072779>4. The game is 70$ plus tip and its a AA game.
i recommend people to play with the ashen pipe and the charm that grants you health on bloodbath kill, its pretty fun not needing to rely on pots if you're good enough
>>724072042I haven't maxed out my results board completely in DMCVSE. I should really get to finising M13 with Nero and V as well as M7 with V. But I only discovered NG recently, and I have been loving it. Bought a cheap Xbone X for $100, and it's been worth it. My DMC screencaps have been from the PS5. Love using shuriken cancels to link strings and comboing into UTs. I love the genre too.
>>724072882$70 for a game I'm on my 5th playthrough of and enjoying ninja trials is unironically a steal.
>game doesnt have guardbufferingnot ninja gaiden
>>724072852It’s really cool how a a lot of them are strings from 3>back forward x is the old running x combo>back forward y is the xx>x string >360 x is hold y from 3
>>724072952Honestly anon it's more impressive you Sd the divergent stages with Dante than Nero who is OP and V who is braindead. Good job.,
>>724072170>Redpill me on getting started with rank autismIt encourages you to fully explore a game's mechanics and allows you to fully experience the content in these games. The biggest high comes from the sense of progression in these games and the extent in which you'll improve.
>>724072984The price doesn't bother me and there hasn't been a game worth playing in the past few years but most normies will not buy that when Silksong etc are 1/3rd the cost.
>trial 6>can only use dragon swordnigga i already do
>>724073541They know that niggas will buy this several years down the line at a discount with DLC included. They also know that most people will be using a fully-kitted Ryu. It's future proofing.
For anyone missing "Obliterate every Enemy" the last one is the spider ninja in trial 03.
>>724073240I don't think I'll ever give a shit about the opinions of normalfags. A couple of years back the GOTY was 10 bucks for 60+ hours of gameplay, which is orders of magnitude more "value for money" than slop like silksong.Zoomers don't understand that we used to pay 60 bucks for 30 minute long games.
>>724074201That's just how it is - long games with mundane 'gameplay' and needless padding that their favourite hype beast they idol worship who tells them when to jump.
Exploring this chapter is pain, ignore Yakumo exploding
>>724074138Combat trial 3? Didn't see one.
>>724074736It might be 2 or 4, I've been going through them. But yeah combat trials. It popped for me when I executed the claw variant.
>doing trial 7>surrounded>counter attack >hold gleam and Y>ryu in berserk does a 12 hit combo that wipes out the entire screenand they say he was nerfed.
GOTY
>>724074201I honestly believe that the padding and content bloat is why people are getting fed up with modern games and why zoomers are making a fuss on social media about collecting or emulating PS1/PS2/GameCube games. Games from that time weren't trying to appeal to journos who think every game should be AssCreed. But games cost so much to make that devs are kinda forced to kowtow to journos sensibilities just to avoid any negative press that could impact the tight profit margins they gotta meet. It's a lose-lose situation either way.I'd personally take several difficulty levels with different enemy placements and a mission/bloody palace or useless padding. But if zoomers want those PS2 games from their childhoods to return, they gotta let go of this idea that games need to have content for the sake of content.
>>724075134anon how the fuck are you staying in the air that long with ddb
>>724075134How the fuck did you do that?
>>724074836It's 4. Thanks for the heads up.
>>724075134More like flop of the year
Just finished it, enjoyed it a lot Laughed hard when I lost to the final boss who only had 1 hp left or so, still wasn't too hard, I thought Ryu was way harder
>>724075164>>724075236FS - Wind Path - GT - Air dash - FS - GT It's mostly the enemies being in the perfect position for it.
>>724075447>spoilerIt makes sense since he's already 3-0'd the final boss.
>>724075471Thanks anon, very impressive. You should post that on twitter to dab on the 2fags who say Yakumo cant do cool shit.
newfag here and having a blast with thisbut why are the checkpoints so ass, I never know when to quit my session because when I reload I always have to redo some stuff, resubmit quests and rebuy abilitieswhy didn't they just made it so the shrines would autosave when you interacted with them
>>724075134Art
I think I might be the only one who thinks the Yakumo moving like Ryu with the Dark Dragon Blade is baller.
>>724075134Sheeeesh Yakubro
>>724075447I thought the final boss was way harder. Granted I found some really easy parries on him, like every time he blocks your attacks midair he'd do the same descending move, and whenever you parry you get to do an izuna drop which chunks their health bar massively. The final boss mixes up landing attacks so it was much harder to do
What's the best option to play NG1&2 before 4 if I don't own any xbox
>>724074909NG4 Ryu will hit 4SE Vergil levels of brokeness if he get weapon swapping.
>>724075610Thanks! But I don't have a twitter... Might put it on Tiktok tho. Feel free to post it in my stead.>>724075630As the games biggest fan, I was a little disappointed it wasn't it's own moveset. But it's grown on me a bit with time, at least he has his own ninpo that looks sick.
>>724075854Sigma 1 in master collection is fine.You can install the black mod for sigma 2, or the white mod for 2 Black.3 Razors Edge is what is is, some like it some dont. >>724075801Me too. I breezed my 2 MN runs but the final boss always rapes me.
>>724075630I prefer it too but mostly because it feels like hitting blood counters with weapons other than the katanas feels slow and weird sometimes, like when a boss jumps
Don't trust anyone not even yourself
>>724046312I am playing it. Just beat the chapter with cestus. The entire chapter basically being an interdimensional surf segment was actually pretty kino.
>>724072198I pirated it because fuck paying 70 bucks and fuck day 1 dlc weapons.
>>724075801I just spammed the blood attacks nonstop using the consumable as fuel, he couldn’t do anything.
>Ninja Combat Trial 8>it's playing the end credit cityscape music as you fight demonsi love this game so much bros

>>724072198>And if there are a few rich ones, why not help and buy the games for some of the poorfags?Why the fuck would I do that? NG4 is getting DLC, and Microsoft footed the bill for the game's development.
>>724075134This game is so fucking good
>>724075134The schizos won't like this...
>Make good game, possibly the best action game of its kind to be released in a decade.

>>724075134>floatier than fucking dmc 5>that gross slowdown>perfect dodge slop
Favorite OTs in the game?
>>724075626I hope to God they patch this. It's sooo stupid, what were they thinking?
>>724076797
>>724076727Yep. I'm all for shitting on bad games and I must admit pre-launch I was a doomposter because of weapongate, but I gave it a chance and it's now my second fav after Black and it's such a shame people are too stuck in their ways to acknowledge what a fantastic fucking title this is.
>>724076797Toolbox against the dogs and any weapon against heavy enemies really.
>>724076727Yeah it's really disheartening. Oh well, I hope that Plat will at least go on to make some more games of this quality, it actually restored my hope in them. I just really want more NG as well.Maybe the gamepass numbers are good enough? Word of mouth maybe... my cope.
>>724076797>>724076863this tbqhwyfam
>>724076727>first platinum game ive enjoyed since 2016 as a platinumhater>it flopssuch is life
>>724076797I like when Yakumo leaps on them with the drill and blows them into chunks.
>>724068415I'd be cool with this if it were real. As unlikely as it is, I hope we get DOA7 as an epilogue to the story follow-up on that type of ending. Maybe we'll get to see Ryu and Irene tend to the antique shop, since the Chad OVA is still canon, and get married as the ending. I always envisioned Ryu's endgame with him becoming like Muramasa and taking it easy after retiring. What are Kasumi and Momiji up to? Maybe have an event where Wirriam gets transported to the future and meets the modern cast just to meet the crossover quota? Maybe Yakumo will have a true rite of passage and get his chance to duel Hayate?
Wow, i love getting shot at by off screen projectiles. I love enemies that self destruct the moment you kill them and take half your health away! Great game
>>724077149>I love enemies that self destruct the moment you kill them and take half your health away!This is skill issue desu. You need to find out the combos that will kill them while moving you away from them.
>>724077149>Wow, i love getting shot at by off screen projectilesthere's an indicator.>I love enemies that self destruct the moment you kill them and take half your health awayKill them with air light attacks, shurikens and dodge. Lampshades are a noob filter. I hated them at first too.

Why do they bother giving you such a huge moveset if 90% of it is a noob trap that only gets you killed
>>724077731The walkie talkie sections are few and fast and barely a problem. The real problem is how fucking slow the menues are. The amount of time it takes to get into training mode makes me not want to use it
>>724077870Ninja Trials bro
Nothing personal.
>>724077924Because eventually you will good enough to use all moves effectively in insane displays of combat that feels so cathartic to pull off it's unreal
Playing 1. Jesus fucking christ that ambush was pure pain. Worst thing is I'm nailing the combat but all the damage I'm receiving comes from random unavoidable grabs.>the enemies telegraph their grabsNo they don't, they literally just walk towards you and you're done.>don't get in grab rangeBlocking is for melee attacks, if you're in melee range you're in grab range so is blocking a meme in 1 Sigma? It's not like I have to pretend this is a FPS shooter.Still, I managed to clear the ambush and just used one heal. The Fire Wheel ninpo is a lifesaver against the black enemies that block.
>>724077854Because i'm trying to goat some rich fucker to gifting some poor anons in the thread.Clearly isnt working because there is no Rich fuckers in this thread.
>>724076797Katanas cutting the dogs in half through the mouth
>>724076863>end of the line>no escapeI love this game so much bros!I love Yakumo!I love Ryu!I love Seori!I love Ayane!Will we ever get a true game as good as this ever again? I hope so, but if we don't, I'll keep enjoying this amazing game. The DLC has the potential to make this game into a true timeless masterpiece, I hope they deliver, Ryu needs more weapons for sure.
>>724077376Healing on OT shouldve been an early game charm to be honest. Never played on normal but on hard it's very difficult to get your health up between encounters and you have to pray for an umi shrine to be nearby.
>>724077770360 heavy with the twin blades is great for getting enemies off your ass, you can chase the isolated targets and burst them down. Also even if you eat some damage, a fully charged bloodraven heavy might be worth it if you have the room.
>>724076797ngl when I started playing the soldier screams when I OT them unsettled me
>>724078000>Jesus fucking christ that ambush was pure pain.Until the rocket guys you can position yourself by the containers so only 2 guys rush you at any time and just spam UTs, works even on MN.
I miss Seori...
>>724077924it's traditionyour moveset is generally better in this game than say ng2 or 3. probably the worst thing is everything costs meter so you have to weigh what to spend it on. you get fucktons of it though so it doesn't matter too much
>>724078000No, enemies will try to grab you if you block their first hit. They rarely if ever start grabbing. Always hit once -> grab if you block their first hit. You could just counter their first attack if you really want to negate the possibility of them grabbing you since they'll be dead. If you see them anxiously run up to you, then it means they're going to grab you. It's not random, but you're not mean to react to it. You're supposed to prepare for it. Shit, it gives you an idea of how soon you should kill them.
>>724078000>Worst thing is I'm nailing the combatIf enemies are grabbing you, then you are not "nailing the combat" bro, it is okay, keep playing, you will improve and realize it as you improve.
>>724078365Don't worry, Yakumo has his smelly neet gf.
>>724078376All of that you just explained I think it subconsciously kicked in my mind after repeated attempts because I found myself reacting after one blocked hit and then just did the XYXY combo killing them instantly.
>>724066068>I don't feel like healingheal anyway. i am chugging potions like crazy in this fucked up game. maybe after 1000 hours my third eye will open and i will no damage everything. until then i'm dumping all my ninja koin on healing
>>724078507>>I don't feel like healing>heal anywayThis. Nobody is going to judge you. This isn't DMC where we actively avoid item use. Use them bro, chase your no item multiplier in chapter challenge.
Highest deaths in a level?>37
Human bosses are... le fun
What does this hoe want from me
hearing the disco from outside is cool
Ryu's Raging Destruction and Instant Flash weapon skills have insane combo potential. You can chain them into any combo and then chain those into Izuna Drop, Guillotine Throw, shuriken cancel and full ground reset into more combos.
>>724078704Ryu and Final Boss are pretty amazing. I love Kagachi too, his phase 2 transition is fucking sick
>>724078704I skipped Ryu’s tutorial and didn’t use his powers even once.
>>724078704Ryu is the 3rd best boss in the game lol
>>724078746You need to webm me up brodie. I played around a little bit with them and I realized too how you could mix his weapon skills into his strings and losing the strings from previous game doesn't hurt as much anymore.
The blood really stands out on yakumos white outfit
>>724078718Powerpyx updated their collectibles guide with the NG+ stuff now I recommend it.
>>724078803It's not like you even need a tutorial, his gimmick is just cool shit happens when you hold button which is simpler than every bloodraven moveset
I just died to the last spiderninja in trial 4. He somehow stunlocked me. Should I give up bros?
>>724078704>humanoid boss>gets random super armorHow can it be that hard to make a boss that mostly follows the player rules like NGB doppelganger?
>>724079027No, Trial 4 is easy unironically.
>>724078741This game has so much SOUL it is insane. I am so glad this game exists, I will be enjoying this for many years.
>>724078365Me too...
>>724078851I've never recorded footage or encoded a video in my life, but yeah, both those skills let you continue any basic combo and then reset in the air and do whatever you want, including triple flying swallows. I haven't really played around with chaining gleam form attacks into this, but I'm sure it's possible. I'll try later.
>>724079109I genuinely think NG4 will be fondly remembered the more years go by and the fewer creative action games we get. More and more poeple will pick it up with fresh eyes and realise how much there is to adore. This is the 9th gen's Ninja Gaiden Black and i look forward to being vindicated when we see threads like "now that the dust has settled, this is kino" threads.
>>724079228>I genuinely think NG4 will be fondly remembered the more years go bythis wont happen
>>724079047Okay but that's fair because you also get random superarmor yourself for using bloodraven moves. Without being extremely autistic and making it an exact 1:1 1v1 fight it's still cool how he does stuff like absorbing his own essence to UT you if you aren't fast enough to absorb it yourself.
>>724079228I think it's gonna be a underrated cult hit. We're gonna get videos from e-celebs in the future like "WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS INSAAAANE NINJA GAME?!?!?!??!"
>>724079318>this wont happenAnon we've had fucking threads saying Sonic 06 is actually a masterpiece. Have faith.
what am I supposed to do to get out of 3 enemies pressuring me with constant hyper-speed attacks? every time I get in a fight with the DDO twinblade guys the only thing I can do that works is run around autistically until their 300 hitboxes stop coming outin every other ng I can just parry out of block. but they removed that, I have to re-block or attack, and the second I let go of the block button I just instantly eat shit
>>724079047Yakumo's bloodraven gives him super armor too.
>>724079228the dlc needs to be good, it's a genuine unfinished game right now
Holy fuck, Ninja Box is a fun weapon.
>>724079361sonic fanbase is far larger than the ninja gayden fanbase and nope i dont like ninja gayden 4
>>724079372Use guillotine throw to throw one into another, then shuriken the third one to stun him for you to get close and izuna drop/flying swallow air cancel. Repeat. I say this with no smugness I think the DDO are in need of a buff if anything.
>>724079372just movement around, GT them, apparently when they're stuck on a wall they delimb faster so shuriken them while they're on it
>>724079372I use the bloodraven jump moves a lot. spin moves too
>>724078718She is trying to groom you.
now i understand why there are threads celebrating ninja gayden 4 failurethese shill threads are something else
>>724077923Currently trying out Leech fang, Draconic text, and Ashen pipe. Pure glass canon build it's pretty fun, basically makes Yakumo hit as hard as Ryu does. Might trade out the leech fang for shadow god's orb, better dodging instead of extra healing.
>>724079582How so?
>>724079228I 100% agree with you. I think what we have now with Ninja Gaiden 4 right now is one of the best action games ever made and the DLC has the potential to make it into a timeless masterpiece. If the DLC does what Nioh DLCs did for the Nioh games, then it will become a timeless masterpiece. Time will tell, hope Platinum Games delivers.

>>724079318it's like razor's edge where everyone agrees it's good except two schizos who are responsible for 98% of ninja gaiden discussion
>>724079638YOU are an annoying person
>>724079582>nu/v/ when they see people genuinely and sincerely enjoying and talking about a game in a civil way with meaningful conversations about the gamepla
>>724079548Sweet!
>>724079676I feel like those gauntlet katar weapons for Ryu will have some ranged aspect like the ninja box. The thrusting blade looks like it can shoot out somehow.
>>724079451Do they not get buffed in the HQ? I think it's an oversight because a lot of the encounters in there just get trivialized by getting thrown into pits lol
>>724079860the curved parts shoot out like boomerangs
>>724078463How do you think Umi dresses? She sounds like she's wearing a hoodie and sweat pants, but surely no self respecting ninja would be so lackadaisical on the job.
>>724079582>people enjoy the game and aren't schizoposting about sekiro while spamming cp like happened in the past 3 threads>"shills are...le bad..."youre a fucking retard.
>>724079228it just came out at a bad time, with a few other big releases around the same time and steep pricing toogame is good, but they didn't put all the luck on their side
>>724079676>I think what we have now with Ninja Gaiden 4 right now is one of the best action games ever madeAnon don't I've been tempted to say this prematurely but I'm waiting for my honeymoon phase to end. Right now I consider DMC3SE, NG: Black and DMC5SE the best action vidya ever made.
>>724079697Razor's Edge is garbage, let it go already.
I beat trial 4 on SSS rank bros, I did it
>>724079931No. You can throw them into pits all the same and throw even the glaive commandos into each other. I genuinely feel the DDO is currently nerfed.
>>724079676I like it more than DMC5, and I love DMC5. Easily top 3 in the genre for me. Can't fucking wait to see the new weapons in action.
I think my favorite thing about 4 is how it doesn't feel like a retread, so it asserts itself and justifies its creation by providing a distinct NG experience that you can't get in any of the other games. It's not my favorite NG right now, but I like that I have four different unique NG experiences. It adds a lot of variety to the franchise.
>>724079727Anons are actually discussing the game, its mechanics and even other games. What's your problem?
>>724079958you are still a living commercial for a videogame so...
>>724080068See, never give up anon.
It feels good going from button mashing to actually pressing buttons and letting aninations of attacks flow
>>724080027>Anon don't I've been tempted to say this prematurely but I'm waiting for my honeymoon phase to end.The more I play NG4, the more I enjoy and love it, it is a crazy feeling I haven't experiened in many years. I love everything about this game, I love the chapter select with any character on any difficulty, it is GLORIOUS.
>playing on hard>liking it a lot but struggling to learn all the changes>keep getting common ninja ranking or worse>get to ryu chapters>instantly getting head ninjais this the power of muscle memory, or is ryu just broken
>>724069664Rather than back forward motions we should go back to forward motions altogether. If you widen the back forward motion window you run the risk of too many accidental moves. Forward inputs are much more decisive in comparison, that's why the older games had them i guess, but it makes it way harder to do the moves on accident
>>724080179>people who like game will tell others it's goodwhat a curious phenomena
>>724080151>Ninja Gaiden is the Final Fantasy of action games
>>724080247Little bit of column A, lotta bit of column B. Ryu is genuinely easy mode.
>>724079697Razor's edge is mid as fuck. Not awful, but just mid. It goes to show how fucking garbage NG3 vanilla was.
>>724080247I keep getting Ds and Cs even though i feel like I'm starting to do well. What loses you points the most, healing items, time?
It's a really fun game bros. Too bad I miss the old characters.
Who is shilling this game and why? Is it platinum employees? If I want a to play a real ninja gaiden game there are other to play, since this is not one of them. And if I want to play a different action IP there are others to play as well that are much better than this. this is just a half hearted cash grab hijacking an old legacy franchise. No one is going to be talking about this in a month or two. I was considering giving it a shot out of good faith but all the footage and gameplay I’ve seen just makes me want to play other stuff.
>>724080273but its not working the game is a huge flopteam ninja could not afford anything better than some 4chan threads populated by 10 users
So MN is not supposed to be played on regular new game? fuck off, this is so ass
>>724080397pretty sure is time/deaths
>>724078365Maybe Seori also has a much more beautiful younger sister to take her place and can also fight?
>>724080531>but its not working the game is a huge flopalmost like we're sharing how much fun the game is out of genuine passion with little regard for the sales or something
>>724080538try doing first chapter on a fresh ng lmaoyeah the game is structured around ng+ you get new missions too
>>724080247My first and only MASTER NINJA rank in the story mode was the first Ryu chapter. Ryu is a beast in this game.
>>724051425It was Itagaki himself, sadly.
>>724080538That's how it was in all NG games I'm pretty sure. You always have to unlock it first.
>>724080538You can still do it, it's just extremely hard in the beginning, even more so than other NGs
>>724080538Everything in MN kills you in 2-3 hits, with any of the big "oh no, red scary symbol!" attacks being OHKOs. MN is locked to protect you from yourself.
>>724080196I can't think of a game that punishes mashing harder than this one, certainly recently. multiple major mechanics dedicated to making you eat shit for acting carelesslyit's a kino feeling, to have a game that wants you to get better, instead of just giving you consolation tools to avoid getting better
>>724080247Ryu's chapters are just easier, and he just fights the bosses you've already fought. It's also better to use items to prevent dying as deaths cut your score by 0.5x while using items cuts it to 0.7x at worst, and it takes a lot to drop it below 1x.
bros how the fuck do you do combat trial 10
>>724080618then get a discord server or open a general in vghopefully the janitors ban ninja gayden threads for a whileshill threads are always annoying to see
>>724080538You can play Master Ninja both on NG+ and a fresh start, are you retarded?
>>724080397time & deaths. time has a huge proportion of score, and too many deaths will literally halve the totaleverything in this game does shittons of damage on hard and up, health recovery isn't nearly as forgiving as NG2 / RE, and blocking has been heavily nerfed, most of your defensive tools require some level of risky commitment, so I die over and over until I finally figure out a way to solve the encounterexpecting a second run to go better, we'll see
>>724080815>shill threads are always annoying to seeI just told you we're talking passionately about a fun game, not trying to get anyone to buy it. Pirate it we dont care.
>>724080642It's only like this in Platinum's games. MN in Ninja Gaiden is supposed to be a new game experience from the start
>>724080596>Edgy, unsociable Yakumo watching over a younger more innocent but still teasing imouto type out of guilt / responsibility. Wait, this could work actually.
>>724080816I think you're the retarded one, you haven't tried Chapter 1 MN from a fresh file if you're saying this.
>>724079953Leisure looking techware. Cat headphones too.
MAN TRIAL 5 IS FUCKING BULLSHIT
>>724079697The two schizos replied lmao
>>724079228Dude you are autistic, no one buys or plays ninja gaiden games so they can play as a generic e boy v tuber who grows magic feathers while using a bunch of retarded BLOOD MAGIC OC DO NOT STEAL moves. this appeals to no one in the ninja gaiden community. How many games have been discussed here where people say “this may have worked if it was its own thing and they developed it further.”? The problem is that (like the modern Star Wars sequel trilogy) people have been so starved for new NG content there are still some people coping saying “oh it’s just different let’s give it time first before making any quick judgements”. Everything this game is attempting to do, a different franchise or a different ninja gaiden game does better. this is retadrd levels of shill cope.
>>724068415And you can find Mew under the car
>>724080871your threads are still visible
>>724081116>your threads i never make threads fuck waiting 6 minutes for captcha
>>724078000You're getting grabbed because you're too defensive and not mobile enough, that's putting it simply
I played on hero. Also I didn’t enjoy. I liked the first and second because most of the enemies were other ninjas, not demons or like armored soldier guys.
>>724080737This one was really tough, wave one you want to get as many delimbs on possible since OT doesn't run the clock down. Bloodraven vault - heavy and jump - heavy with the dual swords is great for this, parries are the best if you can manage. You get about 3 of them. Second wave you can pop berserk, use the last of your Bloodraven to one shot the two heavies. Last wave, home stretch, just stand in the middle and go for the bloodbath slaughter.
>>724081206>most of the enemies were other ninjasI wish
>>724078817What are your 1st and 2nd bosses anon? really curious
>>724081206>auto mode>didn't enjoylol lmao
>>7240813501st is Kitsune 2 on MN2nd is Kagachi MN3rd is Ryu on any difficulty.
>>724081062Shut up, I've been an NG fan since the first Xbox release and I like Yakumo. Maybe the game would have been better if it was just Ryu again, maybe not, but this is pretty fucking good as well.
>>724080679I beat ryu 1 on hard first try because I was mashing and kept accidentally getting parries
>>724080679I've gotten so many parries by accident mashing light attack, it's so weird
>>724080973What do you mean by fresh file? Your first playthrough of the game? Of course you can't, because you have to beat the game at least once, to unlock Master Ninja.Once you have Master Ninja, you can start a Story Mode playthrough on a NG+ cycle or a completely FRESH START on Master Ninja difficulty.If you are getting filtered on a FRESH START Master Ninja difficulty playthrough, that means that you are not good enough for this challenge yet.
>>724079960“Just came out at a bad time” It’s the fourth entry in a franchise that isnt very well known and it replaced the main character (who is recognizable, people recognize the character even if they don’t know the name of the franchise) with someone that doesn’t stand out at all in the modern media landscape. It just looks like cyberpunk/anime game #1364728482they did it to themselves.
>>724081050No. The schizo would spam scat phrases and insult him.
I'm going to try the game with my Hori Real Arcade Pro 4, I think it could be good
>>724081684>If you are getting filtered on a FRESH START Master Ninja difficulty playthrough, that means that you are not good enough for this challenge yet.You haven't tried fresh start MN. It's beyond unbalanced and beyond bullshit. It's not a crafted playthrouh like MN used to be, it's just full of undelimbable elites and oneshot enemies right from chapter 1 while more than half your moveset is locked. I'm on chapter 2 right now and it's just going to get worse and worse until I actually get wind run.
>>724080893Nah, it would be lame to retread Momiji and Dragon Sword.I want them to expand on the Karasu clan (yes, If we call Ryu's clan the Hayabusa clan, then we call Yakumo's clan the Karasu) now that the source of their alienation got killed.
>>724081885>It's not a crafted playthrouh like MN used to beHasn't been true since NGB.
>>724081885So like the beginning in NG1 and 3RE?
>>724081410Haven't tried those on MN, will do later
>>724081410Do you have any tips for kitsune second phase on MN?
>>724081971It was especially true in NGB. There's a reason you start MN with the lunar and the nunchaku. The encounters in NGB MN ch.1 are perfectly crafted around the tools you've got at the time
>>724082123Blocking is your best friend. Dodge into bloodraven strikes or gleams.
>>724081796>3d game on fightstickwhy would it be good
>>724082147And it's not true for any iteration of NG2 or 3 at all.
I am seeing a lot of different opinions everywhere. I need some opinions of people who actually like this franchise and have played the former games before I buy it. Is NG4 a good Ninja Gaiden game?
>>724081917>If we call Ryu's clan the Hayabusa clan, then we call Yakumo's clan the KarasuMaybe they're westernized
>>724082340Yes.
>the credit "mission"Parkour Rooftop ninja game when?
>>724049687You already should know the girls become playable when a definitive edition gets released
>>724046312can you do NG+ as ryu?
>>724082296I don't think that's true. Original NG2's toolkit is more than enough for MN. I'll agree about sigma 2 and all 3 iterations, at least.
>>724082428yes sir with cutscene skip too so no walkign section
>>724082340Yes it's a good game and a good Ninja Gaiden game. It isn't exactly the same as the others but it keeps the spirit of the core combat intact.
>i don't want to diei felt that
>>724082185But her command grab gets me when i block too much
>>724076727Jeets will meme and shit on the game/sales but this post is 100% correct.
>>724082505You can usually block 6 times before she'll do that.
>>724082147I’ve only played NGB up to very hard (NTA btw) and I think you also get the nunchucks and the lunar on very hard and maybe even hard, but it may just be very hard.my rational behind why I thought team ninja did this? They thought it was based. and they figures you have played the game already and that chapter with just the dragon sword. So now they are giving you more weapons to tackle the same chapter with a new play style.the nunchucks specifically made me feel this way because they never seemed as good as the level one dragon sword or lunar. But they were just sick and were part of the reason I thought team ninja ninja gaiden was so cool.while I’m talking about that I will also praise team ninja for the fact that the game just throws them at you randomly in a normal playthrough next to some guys body. You might not even find them potentially. they have no reason to exist because of the flails. but they made them for you anyway to have fun with.NGB will always be the best one.
>>724082396It was so nice to have a nice sunny environment for once.
>>724082340I've enjoyed every mainline thoroughly including RE and this is a fantastic entry that imo surpasses both RE and 2. Don't (You) me with shitposts. I don't care to argue. I found all the games save for vanilla 3 pretty captivating.
>>724082373>>724082452Alright especially the first post seems very trustable. Going to buy it tonight
>>724082445You don't need tools in NG2. All you need is on-land charge UTs and Guillotine Throw. It's just a complete spamfest on PotMN. It's actually the opposite of "crafted." Enemy configurations are just randomly put together. It's the result of an unfinished game.
>>724082340it's more of a platinum game than old NG, but it's leagues better than anything team ninja has been putting out
>>724082452Tbh no 2 gaidens are alike. They change constantly with every entry.
>>724082482I didn't expect the story of the game to be so tragic. It kind of feels like apart from beating the dragon, Yakumo failed in a way. Ryu's games all ended with him saving everyone so I suppose I expected something like that. But Seori's character is just really bleak and depressing, especially after playing as Ryu and learning her entire personality with Yakumo is a front and really she kind of hates herself and is miserable.
>>724082718Have fun bro.
>>724082782>it’s good that the games are always changing!!>fans of franchises that exist in a shriveled shell of themselves compared to their prime which was the first game or twoLike fucking clockwork every time. Games should update between releases but these should be refinements and tweaks to an established and well received formula. Not being fucking retarded and trying to subvert or reinvent shit each release just because you lack any common sense.
>>724082661In every mode that isn't MN you gotta pick it up after the first locked room gauntlet, while you get it right from the start in MN. If you only had the dragon sword that gauntlet would be extremely hard, with the lunar it's way more manageable thanks to the UT, the wide moveset, the lunar multihit interaction with walls, and the lunar's fiend sealer which is the best in the game. The nunchakus also help a lot in ch.1 because since they have the same moveset as the flails you're basically invincible while doing the main ground combo, you won't do a lot of damage but it helps score a lot of knockdowns and bust through dodges easily
>>724082935>and well received formula.The series has been dead for 10+ years and it's a new dev. Not sure what you expect.
>>724082801My reading of it more was, Yakumo gave Seori hope for herself, and she was able to shine a bit in their time together. She seemed to genuinely really care about him, enjoyed teasing him and Umi, I think her time with them were her happiest moments.
>>724082340Yes, ive played through black and 2 millions of times and i think 4 is a fantastic game.
>>724083009Part of the reason it was dead for a decade (shouldn’t have to explain this to you) was because ninja gaiden 3 was a massive departure from the first 2 games. RE tried to rectify it but it wasn’t enough. arguably the problem started with ninja gaiden 2 but it was still salvageable at that point if ninja gaiden 3 had been a middle ground between NGB and NG2.
>>724083268Given everything I'm pretty happy with 4.
>>724082340I've played every game in the series other than 3 for hundreds of hours. NG4 is great. As always, the NG2fags are turboschizos.
major defense charm does fucking nothing
>>724082962I’m pretty sure I beat most or all of very hard (Xbox died) with only the dragon sword. That’s basically my self imposed benchmark if I am good enough at that game is if I can do it with only DS. But because your health is so low in chapter 1 I feel like you may be right and I may have used the nunchucks for that level. It had some good moves for a weapon you can’t even level up. NG2 pissed me off for not bringing them back. I like when the ninja gaiden series still retains some simpler old fashioned weapons to maintain a level of connection to the name of the franchise. “Ninja” gaiden.
What are your favorite twin swords back to forward and circle motion moves?
>>724082935As it stands the Ninja Gaiden games all have their own appeal. I see that as a good thing, 4 isn't trying to replace 1 2 or 3, the core identity of the combat is intact but it has it's own spin on a lot aspects for it.
>>724082340>I need some opinions of people who actually like this franchise and have played the former gamesI have played the previous games on Master Ninja.I like Ninja Gaiden 4, it's not my favorite Ninja Gaiden game but it's a good Ninja Gaiden game and it's fun to play.It stays true to the difficulty and aggression of the series.
>>724083337I don't even bother with charms and stat boost items
>>724082801>Ryu's games all ended with him saving everyoneRyu's childhood friend Kureha, the maiden in 1, is murdered by Doku.Seori dying in this game is supposed to mirror that, I believe.In NG1 Ryu then goes back to Kureha's grave to get the jewel to complete the True Dragon Sword.In NG4 Yakumo proves himself to Ryu after Seori dies, getting the jewel for the Dark Dragon Blade.
>>724082340NG4 got the fundamentals kinda right but the added in power bar systems undermine the essence of what made ninja gaiden good. it's not a bad game but it takes drastically different approach to combat design.
>>724083520Respond anons this is important.
>>724083747I think this shows a big difference with this game's narrative and why I kind of don't care for Yakumo, there is no inciting incident or introduction to him at all. He simply exists and we have to pretend he always existed, we don't see where he comes from, his village, his friends only exist in audio coms.
Do you buy anyting with Ryu outside of items?
>>724083973base form circle heavy
>>724052690
>>724083530You can like every game and that’s fine, but countless franchises have made this mistake, where they keep changing the formula every game and overwhelmingly what happens is that the franchise loses more fans over time the more it changes, and the games that are the most well received are the earlier titles. (The titles that typically had to spread word of mouth as a new IP because of how good they were) this makes sense logically, because for an IP to get a solid foothold, it needs to have a good formula from the start to gain popularity in the first place. It can’t suck as a new IP. Enough popularity that it ever gets sequels. (There are outliers to this obviously) what ends up happening is that what made the franchise a success when it launched ends up being lost by the 2nd 3rd, 4th, etc installment. And it alienates the audience. the further down this path you go the worse your sales will be, unless you so radically change the game you basically turn it into COD or Fortnite for mass normie appeal. I’m glad you like the games I’m just explaining why more times than not it’s predictable that the more a franchise tries to “innovate” the worse it’s sales usually become because it deviates from what made it successful. this isnt just gameplay but atmosphere, story, general mood of the game, art style, music, everything. Bands do the same thing where they make a great album or two then try to renew the band image at album 3 or 4 or whatever and never are successful after that. people never wanted that. because whatever new thing the band tries to pivot too, generally is a niche already done much better by some other group. Same with games like this.
