Holy shit
WTF NG4 is THAT popular?Guess I have to play it now so I dont miss out
>7/10 game by 2000's standards>GOTY by modern standardsGrim
At least it beat Bloodlines 2
>>724154315Based indian and chinese gamers saved ninja gaiden
>>724154315One way, I'm glad it's not mainstream because that would mean the franchise would turn to shit. On the other hand, this is probably the last ninja gaiden for another decade. Feeling conflicted.
What would you like to see
>>724154315w-we... we've won... at long last... Ninja bros... this is good... isn't it...
>>724155260this is a rare case where the game is just good and doesn't need anything added
>>724155260Why did they give Ryu's scythe to Yakugay? Delete Yakugay and make Ayane playable.
>>724155621Shut up nigga lmao
>>724155727your 360 is right there. don't you want to UT chain for another 1000 hours?
>>724155260Yakumo looks taller here, timeskip I'm guessing
>>724155926It's just a shitty slapped together png, don't analyze it.
>>724156046?The render literally shows them with weapons that aren't in the game
>>724156119?I'm saying it's a fucked perspective because it's a low effort png. It's not a time skip and Yakumo isn't getting taller.
its crazy just how much stronger ryu is compared to yakumogoddamn I fucking loved this game from beginning to endnow we wait for the dlc
How do you unlock DDS for Yakumo? Do you have to beat every boss trial?
Three? Are you fucking serious? THREE OF THESE OPEN MOUTH READY TO SUCK A COCK SPIT SPITTING FAGGOT FISHES?FUCK YOU ITAGAKI
For anyone playing on PS5, when you walk towards the camera, does your character automatically readjust to turn his back against the camera the moment you let go of the analog stick?
>>724157079This is what you save your berserk gauge for
>>724157079nigga you have essence right thereX+A land hold Y
>>724157079Did you smear vaseline over your screenshot or is this just how the game looks?
>>724157079T>ctrl>hold rmbez
>>724157310based keyboardchad
post webms peopleotherwise you're either a fucking bot or a shill or you're a gay faggot
>>724155260Ryu and yukoomer goes to past and help william and hide fight yokai
>>724156576Now you play it on MN and do all the trials. Then you can say you beat the game
>>724155260I hope Ryu gets more chapters than Yakumo in this DLC
>>724157416oh yeah absolutely. I just want more content
>>724155260ayane
>>724157385
>>724157538drill lance my beloved
>>724157230My PC isn't powerful enough to run the game in native and keep 1440p60 so I use DLSS.
This game is so dull. Where is the elegance and thrill of NG? This has Platinum's amateur taint all over it.
>>724156337your pants won't believe what's going to happen to them when this dlc will drop...
>>724157132Your stick might be fucked. Adjust sensibility maybe?
I didn't get the mission done.....
>>724158109Sound design in this game is something else. When I OT'd that nigga the first and you hear Yakumo splitting EACH SPINE VERTEBRAE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NASSSSTYYYY
anyone knows why my XY semi whiffed here?
>>724158109outplayed
>>724158291is it just my setup or is the OST music a bit hard to hear?
>>724155260I am once again asking for Ryu to get monofilament wire.
>>724158525not just you. I just beat the game and every time I see people praising this games music I just get confused. I cant remember a single track, only when the vocals kick in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36iBjE-JrqU
Wait how do you do 360 moves on keyboard
kinda weird take but I think khazan ruined boss fights for meI really wish some of the bosses in this game, like ryu, had more healthcant really enjoy these very fun encounters when they end in like 2 minutes
>>724158961Spin in your chair
>>724158961>he doesn't know
>replaying the whole series before starting 4>having a great time with NGB, it's even better than I remember>get to the underwater level
>>724159018This is no monster hunter, 2 mins for a boss is already way to long
>>724159141It's the same reason I don't like replaying DMC1
blader says it's bad, is it over?
>>724158012>Adjust sensibilityIs that a setting in the game or on the console?
I want to replay ng2 but fuck man that one random audio bug still exists in xenia
>>724159141I don't want DMC sissies to ever complain about DMC1's underwater level when NGB exists.
>>724157079Anon, you have a full berserk bar on top of the almost full bloodraven. Each will go down in one fully charged hit in berserk and you will be left wondering why there you have no more enemies on screen to pop the super on.
>>724157079>activate Berserk>do bloodbaths on each>clear them in less than a minute
>>724158961Write WASD
TRIAL 10. HOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??
blocking doesnt stop karma absobption anymore?
I finally got through chapter 1 on MN. I was stuck on that room before the boss forever. You've really got to avoid damage, shit hits like a truck. Managed to do it with the staff.
>>724159556It does, it just auto absorbs after each fight or round in purgatory. In purgatory you can cheese it though
>>724159618I've been able to keep it on the ground in purgatory holding the block button just fine.
>>724154315why did NG4 flop so hard anyway?
>>724159679If you're only holding block specifically during the slowmo between rounds, it puts you back to neutral and auto absorbs after the next wave spawns
>>724159767Nobody wants to play as some edgy whiny twink. And nobody wants to see this faggot upstage the previous main character that we actually play the series for.
>iconoclast loves it, says it's GOTY>Bl*der is crashing out completely.llmao it's interesting to see this how game makes Ecelebs draw lines in the sand.
Damn this game rocks. (Dark) Dragon sword goes hard, the gleam thing is way better than most bloodraven moves. Everything from Kagachi to the final boss was pure kino
>>724159886do you actually believe it'd get Ryuillion players if it had more Ryu and no Yakubo
>>724155260Rui needs at least 4 new weapons.
>>724159894iconoclast already plays more than 1 game so he didn't have autistic expectations that this would be an ng2 remakeit's only the burgeoning school shooters who hate it
This game should be doing better. A good ass Ninja Gaiden game in current year just dropped and people didn't even know it exists since there's fuck all marketing for it and soulslop is the only type of game the sheeple want to engage with. Those poor bastards at Platinum must feel demoralized as shit. Fuck this gay earth.
>>724159816I've definitely been able to have some orbs from the last round ready to start a chain in the next one
Humiliation ritual
>>724160052there was no shot in hell ninja gaiden 4 in the year of our lord 2025 was ever going to sellat least the game is so good it should have legs
>>724155260Tyran and Ayane skins for Yakumo and Ryu respectively, with animation and weapon changes of course.
>>724154315Thank God
>>724160098>Best game>Worst salesGod has a sense of humor.At least we get to stay 'niche' and 'hardcore'
>>724159767Not sure what the final sales are gonna be like, but lack of a public demo really hurts anything that sells primarily on gameplay. I've got no idea why they didn't push one out.And I don't watch streamers, but streamers and youtubers are excellent for shilling to normies. MS and KT should get a free copy in the hands of anyone who'd take it. Otherwise you're just stuck hoping that some popular vtuber is also a dedicated action games autist.
>>724159309>>724158012Also, weirdly enough, when I go to menu and press down multiple times with the analog stick, the cursor never goes up unintentionally or anything, it’s only when I’m controlling a character.
>>724160052Microcunt purposefully killed it by releasing it on goypassI feel bad for both platinum and team ninja, they know how to make a good game but lack the freedom and fame of fromsoft or kojima
>>724159141It's not that bad in sigma 1
>>724160306It only happened because Phil Spencer wanted it to, it was doomed from the start in that regard
does beating the game with ryu through chapter select count for the master ninja clear or do you have to start a new story mode?
>>724160225>with animation and weapon changes of courseYou're just asking for two new characters with unique weapons at that point, not skins. Though I do think Tyran's gonna end up as a boss in the DLC; they wouldn't have made an in-game model like his otherwise and his whole backstory is set up as being an elite combat specialist.
>>724159216The water level takes all of 2 minutes in DMC. There are more retarded gimmick sections in dmc3 than in 1.
>>72415976770 shekels
>>724160475Not really. Tyran would share the bloodraven forms and Ayane would have the ninpos. Just replace the DS and Yakumo's twin swords with something else and I'll be happy.
>>724160468an anon said it counts with pic proof
You can run past most of the enemies in this game and you can knock the rest off ledges, this is going to go down as the easiest Master Ninja mode
>>724160419I only played Sigma, how much worse is it in Black?
>>724159326>I don't want DMC sissies to ever complain about DMC1's underwater level when NGB exists.Anyone who bitches about DMC1's underwater parts are doing it out of some stupid principle instead of them being annoying, it's like what? Five rooms total? You go through them, it takes like literal seconds and then its over
>>724160251we get to stay dead as well.
what's true obliteration and simple obliteration?
Please stop bros I'm trying not to buy until the dlc stuff is all there and I'm getting a complete game.
>>724160725>Simple Obliteration OTs>True ObliterationBloodbath Kills, but it's Ryu so he's not edgy
>>724160725True Obliterations are those fancy finishers you get during Ryu's Berserk mode.
>>724160725isnt true the r3+l3 one?
>>724155547what emotion is this gif conveying
>>724159979NTA but it would've done better. When people found out Ryu has 1 weapon and not even half of total levels they got pissed. Look at the comments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPP9rFtjOoQ
>>724160746It's already a pretty complete game desu
>>724154315I don't play streamer slop.
>>724160960>American What about the japaneses?
>>724160746The game as it is, is complete day 1. It's rare in this piece of shit industry I know but while yes a dlc is planned, the game currently is very much completely finished and satisfactory. Anything added after is just bonus stuff, unlike most modern vidya where a portion of the package is truly missing and you need to wait for updates/dlc. I am not a shill btw, I hate bayo slop and honestly thought platinum games were hacks up until this changed my mind.
Is there a way to perform inzuna drop with other weapons beside the dual blades
>>724161119Streamers hate this shit. It's too difficult for the braindead streamers to play, too mechanically complex to be appreciated by an uninformed viewer and even too fast to be streamed in good quality. It's the anti-streamslop.
>>724161247Yes
>>724158961Quite easily, in fact.Really cool of Platinum to look out for us keyboard warriors.
>>724161168Platinum isnt why this game is good, this game is good because Team Ninja were watching every move Platinum made and then telling them to revise it, if it was just Platinum than this game would of sucked ass. Team Ninja just doesn't have the technical know how in action games anymore but they understand conceptually what's good and bad. This was a collaborative effort that without either of the two would of lead to kusoge.
>>724161168Ok but it came out with the wrong title
BRO WHERE THE FUCK IS RYUS REFLECT I REPLAYED THE MISSION TWICE AND I STILL CANT FIND IT
>>724161247Yes the string just differs from weapon to weapon.
>>724161380exactly. this game is still a team ninja game through and through.
>>724161247Everything has an Izuna Drop. The move list doesn't list everything as detailed as I'd like, but some weapons have multiple routes to Izuna, like Dragon Sword has XYXXXY and XXXXYXXXY.
>>724159141What is it with early 2000's games and all of them having [That One Annoying Underwater Part]?
>>724161168The game is passable in spite of Platinum, as usual they are fucking incapable of pacing a game correctly and MUST stuff in as many on-rail (literally this time) & flying sections as possible because they don't know how to level design for shit between combat arenas. I genuinely thought the first yellow rail I saw was the start of a parody section to poke fun at how fucking often they do this shit. But no, that's literally 35% of the game.
>>724161291>too mechanically complexthis is a terrible excusefortnite building is mechanically complex
>>724157230The game is very crisp, unlike 99% of other modern games.
>>724161598you've been making the same two sentence posts for literally years, and it's always just whining about something retarded like you wish ninja gaiden was more like quake 3why do you intentionally enter a thread about something you don't like and then get mad that other people like it
>>724161585hope you never stop crying about the rail section and yellow paint. NG4 is GOTY, faggot. no amount of cp that you spam will change this fact. hope you rot in hell for being such a filthy parasite though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xia2uziHmp8how can people put all of these side to side and say 4 is a "platinum" game? all of them play completely different, with their on strengths, but when it comes to non stop action 4 surely is up therei really dont get how you can say this game is bad or "the worst cag ever made".
>>724161585My god your insufferable its like you are on repeat.
You lads enjoying photo mode?
>>724161521I hate that they didnt make XXXXYXXXY underworld drop.
>>724161789Its like 5 NG2 fags that are going full melty over people praising NG4 because Itagaki didn't make it and Platinum was the dev. This mind breaks them because those two things do not compute inside their brains.
>>724161521What about the staff and ninja tool box ?
>>724161857yea its cool
>>724161903Why are Itagaki fags so schizophrenic?
>>724161526>What is it with early 2000's games and all of them having [That One Annoying Underwater Part]?Because it's from an era where game design was still based and trying wild shit. 3D game design wasn't solved yet so you had a lot of "Will this work? Don't know, but let's try it!" so you had different gimmicks, camera angles, combat systems etc. Not everything worked but that's what made it interesting. Nowadays its all "We know what people like and don't like so we're just gonna go with that."We unironically need to go back.
>>724161905any launcher with any weapon can be lead into xxy izuna drop
BESPOKE from Digital Foundry has reviewed its performance, and he likes it. PC confirmed to be the best version btw.https://youtu.be/36iBjE-JrqU?si=wq-3aXJb33n02GEt
>>724161732dont make pathetic excuses about your dead franchiseage of empires 2 requires more mechanical skill and knowledge than any ninja gayden game and that game is still alive and activedont be so elitist about a single player game asshole
New shuriken techhttps://x.com/GameBreakerGod/status/1982051993477861770
>>724162012It runs really well on my GTX 1660 (medium settings, 1080p) which I didnt think was possible in this day and age.
anyone know how well this runs on an i5-7500?
>>724154765I mean yeahWhy do you think snoys sucked off Astro Bot so hard? It's a generic platformer, but compared to the absolute garbage-tier moviegames they are used to, it feels amazing.
>>724162107I have a I5-9400f which is a bit higher spec (still shit lol) and I can run it at a stable 60.
>>724162065how is this new? its not new and its a useless tech. does no dmg and leaves you open to get hit if fighting more than one enemy.
>>724162012It's insanely ugly on Xbox
>>724161912Got a few nitpicks with it, like not being able to toggle essence off or clear the blood screen, but I love this things in games. Yakumo is just too tuff.
>>724161905With lunar you press Y after he does the long spinning attack. Can launch with 360X
>>724162193thanks anon. i'll give it a try then
>>724162012>Game doesn't run on UE5 and have memeshit technology like ray tracing and nanite>It doesn't run like garbageI'm shocked (not that shocked)
>>724155260FIX THE SHITTY PC PORT FOR FUCK'S SAKE
this game sucks ass
>>724156119the staffhammer is awesome
>>724162012UE5 is a piece of shit and Platinum was smart to use their own engine and not fall for the blatant corpo shilling of UE5 slop.
>>724162473nah its really good, GOTY even.
>>724162437Works on my machine
>>724160664It's just longer iirc
>>724161956The NG2fags who pretend to be Itagakifags also shit on NG1.
>>724162012Apparently the game works well on Steamdeck too, nice to see Platinum making toaster friendly games still.
>>724159767One thing that certainly didn't help is the fanbase. They like to constantly go on and on about how super difficult NG games are, but then post clips that look like janky, easy trash with braindead AI and cheap bosses that require spamming the same moves over and over again. Presentation matters, and NG always looked like all flash and no substance. It doesn't matter how good the game is, or how challenging the game is, if from the outside in it looks like neither, and NG fans didn't help on that front with their, "You think that game is difficult! Pleb, you don't even know. NG is so much better than that trash."When you sound like the pretentious, elitist polo shirt wearing faggot at a country club who cries when his long island iced tea has a little too much tea in it, no one wants to see what you're selling.
>>724161421https://www.powerpyx.com/ninja-gaiden-4-all-collectible-locations-guide/
>>724160845Inevitable
Yakumo not only stole Ryu's staff, he also stole his scythe!!!!!RAVEN BRAT, NEED IZUNA CORRECTION.
Recently got into NG with 1 and been having a lot of fun so far, this game is forcing me to get gud.Despite being an Ayane guy myself, I kinda want Rachel to step on me too.
>>724162812>reee I dont like the game cause le fanbase reeeeeeyou niggers are such weak limp wristed faggot. hey dumb ass, those who you dont like also breath air. you should go against the grain and hold your breath until you hero yourself outta your miserable existence.
I beat the tank boss by spamming ranged with the bomb box
>>724161789People here will call DMC5 the worst DMC game. People just say shit because there's no accountability and they think if they scream loud enough and long enough whatever they feel is right becomes the truth, even if they've never played any of the games they're being cunts about.
>>724163167it was intended to be beaten like that
>>724162812>I will base my opinion on some gameplay webm from a dude with hundreds of hours in a game and assume thats reflective of average play.This will always be a shit tier argument. High level play almost always looks fucking stupid no matter the game, because players will find broken shit the dev never even considered
>>724163167>Using the dedicated ranged weapon on a enemy that spam lasers and missilesI see nothing wrong with that.
Bros.....why didn't everyone on screen die instantly
>>724161526I would take the ps2 era water levels over modern action game design of big open boring filler in every level like stellar blade
>>724163143>Smegma versionYou did not play the game.
>>724163437>Enemies have i-frames
>>724163491Smegma 1 is better than Blacked. Take your puzzles and shove them up your ass.2 is better than Smegma 2
>>724163437Van Gelfs got buffed as shit in this game. I wish they brought back a few more enemies from the old games, only having two return for Ryu's levels was a bit of a letdown.
>>724163437This isn't NGII baby game, enemies are actually dangerous in NG4.
>>724163586>All Smegma versions have increased input lag/latency>Enemy AI is dumbed down, most obvious example is Doku fights being piss easy in SmegmaI'll take the "puzzles" in my action-ADVENTURE NG1 game over your dumbed down casualized Smegma.
>>724163491
>>724154315Ryu is so fucking cool in this game, the dude’s an absolute tank. Too bad there aren’t more levels for him
>>724163652Van Gelfs get more juiced up every time they appear, in NG2 they were just big dudes, by the time NG5 rolls around they're gonna be able to underworld drop Ryu and tank 3 UTs.
>>724163586NG1 is dogshit no matter the version, NG2 is Itagakis vision.
>>724159767I'd say marketing and it's 100% Microsoft's faultMicrosoft like always has been really fucking up titles with potential because they didn't market it. I have no idea why people keep partnering with Microsoft when this gen they been CONSTANTLY SHIT
>>724163785Imagine being a gatekeeping idiot in NG of all things instead of just letting people enjoy the franchise.
>>724163652there's also black spider ninjas
>>724162106It also run well on 1650 4gb vram but graphic are locked at lowest fsr performance setting
I think Ninja Gaiden fans the most autistic/schizo fanbase for a character action game series by far.
I'm glad this game gives you the ability to play as Ryu in every level once you've beaten the game. That's something that baffled me with DMC5, it seems so easy to implement being able to do one character runs once you've beaten the game already but they just never put it in.
In retrospect 11K concurrent players is honestly not too bad. Nioh 1 had 10K and that game sold like 3 million units. I can see NG4 doing at least 1 million, maybe 2 million, which is perfectly fine. Maybe word of mouth will help it down the line like it did with DMC5.NG has been a dormant IP so I don't know what people were expecting.
This game restored my faith in Platinum.
>>724163927How am I gatekeeping? I am telling the objectively true information and letting them know what the best version is, they can decide to continue playing Smegma or go for the definitive experience if they truly care about having the best experience with this franchise.
The statue boss in the wind valley level is raping my Yakubussy right now on hard mode. First phase is ez but 2nd phase obliterates the Yakumian chud.
>>724163927>relaying why sigma is worse than black>YOU'RE GATEKEEPING!!!!!!!!Please don't tell me these are the types of people NG4 has brought to the franchise.
>>724157385It's only now on my 2nd playthrough that I feel like my gameplay is becoming decent enough to make for some cool webms, so I have recorded some clips. I just need to transfer them and convert.
>>724164052>Nioh 1 had 10KNioh 1 was a port long after release. A shitty port at that.
>>724164052>all this cope from NG4 fagsNG4 is dogshit and it selling like shit is a testament to how trash it is, thank god Itagaki didnt have to see this shitstain on his legacy. Go fuck yourself.
>>724160098If pokemon ZA and Wukong taught me anything its that there is millions of bugman and hard autists that would pay 120 bucks for a low effort slop. So sales really dont mean much. That said Ninja gaiden 4 is just another Nioh game with a different skin and they been flopping for like 4 games in a row now. Nioh 2, strangers in paradise, wu long, that 1 samurai game team ninja did.
>NG2cuck still trying to start stir shit
>>724164052>In retrospect 11K concurrent players is honestly not too badIt's shockingly bad. Here are some CCU peaks of known underperformers.
>>724164117Make use of your bloodraven projectile when he's doing his bullshit out of reach. Sword is best for sniping him and then drill can pack the pain.
>>724164146Yes, deal with it. Ayane says TRANS RIGHTS
>>724164052Steam numbers on par with nobunagas ambition is a disaster, there is zero chance this game is hitting one million copies, maybe 200-300k if they get lucky
>>724164214>Nioh 1 was a port long after releaseSo was Nioh 2. So was nu-GoW. If the game is popular lots of people will play it once it gets on PC, it's that simple.NG simply isn't that popular.
There's zero reason to play Sigma when Xbox emulation is good now. Now if only xenia would sort itself out.
>>724164394Meant MH wilds, though might as well add Wukong since it was 90% chinese people buying it mandated by the CCP with a free holiday.
>>724164394>Nioh 2>Wo Long Sold well enough to be counted among top earners for KT despite only having 3 games.
>>724164052The passage of time will cement Ninja Gaiden 4 as the best action game ever made. After experiencing this phenomenal Plainum Games engine at literally native 1440p locked 144fps max settings v-sync off, with its unbellievably good responsiveness and extremely low input lag/latency, all other action games are automatically in an inferior league, because of their inferior engine. This engine is perfection for an Action-game experience, Platinum Games have gold in their hands, they need to make more good action games on this engine. As for Ninja Gaiden 4, the DLC will be exceptional, add many new weapons for Ryu, some new weapons for Yakumo, new story content with Ryu having more chapters, new post game content and also Ayane as playable character.As time goes on, word of mouth will spread and Ninja Gaiden 4 will keep on selling. This game is currently an extremely underrated gem.
>>724160960that's like 1k sales less
Last two chapters are pure kino soulium
>>724164591HOLY COPE
>>724164052I wouldn't call it good but I ain't taking low Steam playercount as the game flopping. Too many factors and too much nuance for that. I think the game is doing fine.
>>724154315the east is saved
>>724164582Chinese bought the game you're currently shilling for and coping about, day 1.
>>724164585yeah and still financial flops as per the companies own statements. Just cuz they sold for 5-10 bucks down the line in bundles doesnt change their terrible opening sales. Not to mention Wu long doesnt even have keyboard and mouse support and runs like a turd. Just all in all awful game.
I didn't buy NG4 even when I enjoyed the NG collection on Steam because I'm a Soulslike fan and I felt if I did I would help bury them. The game bombing means that I can breath easily and that it will get 30% off in a couple months.
>>724164582Same as they did other TN/KT games.
>>724164740Those statistics became unreliable after Steam modified its default privacy policies years ago.
>>724164394Since when is Nioh 2 a flop?
>>724164740I said its just another nioh flop how is that shilling? Im just saying sales really dont mean shit when those low effort turds sold gangbuster. They overestimated the online hype of NG.
>>724159894omg best girl momiji
>>724164793>yeah and still financial flops as per the companies own statementsSource? Nioh 3 is on the way btw.>Wu long It's Wo Long. And yes it was an awful port that crippled it. Still sold well for a new IP, contrary to your narrative.
>>724164905NTA but the reviews reinforce it
Ayane for your soul.
NG4 is fucking slop, it selling like shit shows what a steaming pile of trash it is. Reminder NG4 fans are subhuman babies that like movie slop.

>>724165027Buyane also >AYANE FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
>>724165027that leg sleeve is retarded but other than that, great design
>>724164591Based. Hope the dlc end up as kino as the main game.
>>724164924I think they perfectly estimated it, the only reason this game exists is because xbox wanted it, KT didn't even want to greenlight yasudas spinoff idea.
>>724164668>I ain't taking low Steam playercount as the game floppingOh please; we both know it proves that the game bombed. There is no way around it.
>>724164905Whatever helps you sleep at night.They don't need to be 100% accurate - they show an undisputed trend. Few percentage variables don't matter for the bigger picture.
>>724165027My favorite design of her by far, shame she's not playable
Just finished my first playthrough (hard). Game is amazing. Also, while Ryu is a force of nature, I enjoyed every Yakumo move set, Ninja Tool Kit is one of the most original weapons in any action game since at least DMCV
Ninja Gaiden
>>724159220Who?
>>724165027Holy sexo>>724165232I believe in the DLC dream tag trials with the 3 ninja being playable.
>>724165035>it selling like shit showshow it filters out normies on a molecular level. you included.
>>724165232I love her new haircut. Anyway, its always tradition that Ayane is an NPC.Tyran looks cool too, but he isn't playable.
What's the best movement option for Yakumo in combat?
/v/ pretending that Steam's playercounts don't count (heh) when it comes to a game they desperately want to be successful is pretty funny.Had it been a game /v/ loathes the board would claim how the low playercount is an absolutely, indisputable proof of the game being a bomb.
>>724164052It won't sell like slopler blade or pookong but it will be remembered fondly for a very long period of time
>>724165298wtf did dmc5 havethat weapon is probably the best in the genre it's pandora but actually great
>>724161789listen I'm loving the gamebut the weight, the feel is completely offeven the charge attacks remind me of bayonetta's katana instead of anything ninja gaiden
>>724165584Its pure cope from subhuman NG4 fags that cant accept their game being a steaming pile of dogshit that Itagaki would spit on.
>>724165608>slopler blade or pookongWhy lash out on those games? NG4 won't even get Nioh numbers.
>>724165628It had the fedora and the motorcycle.
>>724165558FS, any bloodraven jump / lunge, Yatousen circle heavy, back forward light on takeminakata, back forward heavy on Kage Hiruko
>>724165628Cavaliere is a neat heavy weapon, and Balrog is kino once you use the dempsey roll
>>724160631>easiest Master Ninja modeWhat are the clear rates for MNM?
>>724165190Yeah yeah... I ain't convinced. I'll believe it when I see it.
>>724161291Kino to the highest degree
>>724165879Based believer and reality benderNG4 is selling bigly right now
>>724165584I like the game and acknowledge that it didn't sell well and lament this fact. What now?
What will Ryu's weapons niche be? Because the DS is pretty strong by itself.
>>724162012runs great on my RX5700xt
Ng4 is a success and they already greenlit ng5 along with ng2 pc portWE FUCKING WON NINJABROS
>>724166182Ryu doesn't have great options for range / aoe outside of his ninpo, the new weapon could address that. Doesn't look like it'd be a slow weapon though so it could be faster / more mobile than the DS too.
>>724162786They pretend to like 2 for the mystic and hardcore gaymer points. Ask them to play or prove their shit and they fold kek
>>724159216>>724160536>>724160670Nah, it's because the camera switches to first-person mode. Something that's NEVER been done in the history of character action games. And NEVER again afterward for good reason.
just fought the blue jelly boss, it was so fucking cool. the spooky midi piano music, him vomiting up more goonsgod I love this game, I dont want it to end
>>724165628>wtf did dmc5 haveEverything? DSD is best sword Dante's ever had, Balrog is the best fist weapon Dante's ever had, Cavaliere is easily in the top 3 of heavy weapons in videogames, King Cerberus is insane, Dr. Faust is insane, Sin DT is insane, stuff returning from DMC4 like Ebony & Ivory and Red Queen kept everything they had and got a bunch of extra polish, Nero got Bringer Knuckle, V was an insane character concept they put a bunch of work into, then there's Vergil which also had a sizeable amount of expansions despite being mostly reused assets.
>>724166538I like NG2 and I only ever played it on PS3 normal. I just think it's neat. Feels great to control and the levels look cool.Don't like NG1, it's too samey and the levels are ugly. NG3 is even more samey
>>724165742Thanks.
>>724163491sigma is ok
>>724166951Only the first Sigma.
>>724166536It would be cool if he had a bow as a weapon.Not just as ranged, but as a full on weapon with X and Y.
>>724165146I heckin love modern /v/ where we only consider games good when normalfags buy them in droves.
>>724167089That'd be badass actually, like his own version of Kage Hiruko. Single target instead of the aoe, dial combos can involve him kicking the shit out of the enemies.
>>724166085I would pity you if Ninja Gaiden fans weren't so obnoxious. They're as bad as, forgive me for posting this, "as a Souls veteran I declare this game to be dogshit" Souls players. You got some heavy karmic retribution.
>>724165035>NG2 fans are subhuman babies that like movie slop.
they didnt advertise this game because they know its shit
>>724154315Is this real? Holy fuck, vidya is saved.
Do Black Spider ninjas only show up on MN and trials? Haven't tackled MN or trials yet since I'm cleaning up everything else first.
>That OT where Yakumo tear apart an enemy with Bloodraven Kage-HirukoI love how brutal he is.
>>724167968The encounters in trial seem fun, wish they'd let you customize the conditions
Just unlocked the drill, it's ninja time.
I like the preorder outfit more than his default one.
>>724167824you faggots have been claiming KT/Team ninja games are a le flop and calling for its downfall and end since I can remember.just two more you niggers. keep on praying to your larp god and performing voodoo, KT/team ninjas end will surely come any minute now.
>>724159220Iconoclast says it's good, we are so back.
>>724168192what a cutie
>>724167352>You got some heavy karmic retribution.What the fuck are you talking about you little faggot?Ninja Gaiden 4 literally is the best Ninja Gaiden game, that is why it is filtering NGB and NGII and NG3:RE babies who can't adapt to the new mechanics and layered combat systems. When previous NG players are getting filtered this hard, of course normalfags will also be filtered.The low Steam chart playercount just proves the superior quality of Ninja Gaiden 4. We True Ninja Gaiden Fans already won by Ninja Gaiden 4 existing in the first play, it doesn't matter how much it sells or not, Microsoft funded the game for GamePass, Team Ninja and Platinum Games are already covered, it is a win-win for everyone involved.
>>724168192I'm actually a pretty big fan of his default, but yeah the pre order is too clean. White is perfect to wear when slaughtering goons.
I'm going to wait a few years for the Complete Edition with all the DLC included. It's $90 right now for the first DLC that's coming and, presumably, there will be more to come. That's a load of horseshit.
>>724155260BIG dlc expansions. I want to play as other hot girls from OG ninja gaiden.
>>724168194Pre-ordered Ninja Gaiden 4 Deluxe Edition for 90 euros. Expected to like it, but not as much as NGB and NGII, the more I play it, the more I realize NG4 is actually my favourite NG game and fare deeper and more difficult and fun than both NGB and NGII.Pre-ordered Nioh 3 Digital Deluxe Edition for 120 euros. Gameplay wise it looks to be the best Nioh game, not a fan of the open-field, but it is what it is.Feels good to have such good games to play and knowing that retards on /v/ will seethe about it.
>>724155260>one new weapon eachWow its shit
>>724168646>presumably, there will be more to come.Based on what?
brehs.....
>>724154315Save the video game industry, Ryu Hayabusa.
>>724168309>When previous NG players are getting filtered this hardOnly NGII schizos are crying.
>>724155260I won't be original but some female action would be nice. Also with any dlc I want something drastically new, like maybe new gameplay mechanic idk.
>>724168194sure fag, thats why i liked the nioh games. face the facts, team ninja has been going down hill ever since wo long.
>>724168646This game is not getting more than one dlc so you don't have to wait years.
Just beat the game, here's some random thoughts.>The game gives you absurd amounts of Ninja Coin, pretty sure I could've used 2-3 heals per fight and still had money left over by the end of the game.>Kagachi and Achilles are massive jobbers. Kagachi honestly felt easier than the first boss of the game. The Achilles fight was hilarious with how the cutscene hypes him up beforehand, I actually thought it was a fight you were supposed to lose but then I kicked his ass while barely getting hit.>Ryu is the hardest boss, followed by the final boss.>The third section of the game with the rave zombies is the worst part of the game.>The big Dark Dragon fight was meh but serviceable, I was expecting way worse when I saw they actually went for the big monster fight.>Ryu is definitely the Vergil of this game, way smaller moveset but he's insanely strong.
>>724168309>new mechanics and layered combat systems>auto spacing makes all weapons feel the same, combined with less weapons in general>UT and izuna drop spam are still the best options 90% of the time>no range weapon variety at all>parryslop boss fightskek
>>724168825Dude is getting in the good graces with Buddha for this much karma.
>>724168825>DLC will add an accessory that uses weapon exp as a resource to alter the property/damage of one of the DLC weapons for each characterScreenshot this.
>>724168891Hopefully a playable Ayane comes with her own version of Bloodraven / Gleamblade. Something that sets her apart from Yakumo and Ryu in a meaningful way.
>>724157708nigga then atleast use reshade to make it look a little bit sharp
>>724164793Why the fuck did I watch all of this? More.
>>724169203>muh spacing in Ninja Gaiden!!!There is no spacing in a game that has GT, Wind Path and Wind Run, stop coping lil fagboy.NG4 is the best NG game and I am loving how the burst-break, perfect parries, perfect dodges, perfect blocks are filtering the shitters who are incapable of adapting.Watching NG4 stream of Farnham made me realize how bad he is at playing games, laughed so hard at his autistic meltdowns.
https://x.com/KyleHydeFan/status/1981969465706443227This is why the game is flopping btwZoomers just fucking suck at video games
I feel like I need my third eye open to understand Ninja Gaiden 2. There's so much going on that I feel a whole new faculty needs opened up to even grasp it. 360 lunar UT and ninpo for chapter 11's respawning 3 rasetsu at once fight, plus incendiary suicide grab ninja fight isn't as much of a peice of cake as some pretend. It definitely is the most viable thing I've discovered for it so far, it will get you somewhere, but it's far from the only thing you'll need to get by. I suspect there's some amount of lying and larping from those that act like 360 lunar UT, UT's in general make this game a walk in the park, or they are seriously overstating it. Yes it's a massively useful tool in OG NG2, but it sounds easier on paper than when you actually try to use it. It doesn't account for enemy positioning, your positioning, your enviornment, and the other things a good player will be employing in those situations. This game is definitely on the higher level when it comes to gameplay density and for that it demands quite a bit from you.Also the centaur fiends are the most metal enemy in gaming.
who is up rn j-actioning their ninja gaiden
We did it !!! Holy shit my grades are bad, I need to re-do it after I'm better
>>724169203>auto spacing makes all weapons feel the same, combined with less weapons in generalWrong, stronger enemies will backstep you if you try to mash into them, unless you have the drill which is better at chasing down single targets or box which has no regard for range.>UT and izuna drop spam are still the best options 90% of the timeAlso wrong, these tools are still strong but you have more viable options then ever, many of them outdo both of these>no range weapon variety at allEvery weapon has it's bloodraven shuriken. And all of them serve different functions.>parryslop boss fightsMeh, you don't need to parry them, dodging and blocking work fine too. It's just an option you have. Same as fights like Regent of Genshin.
>>724169985Well done anon.
>>724154315This is a great idea actually. It's not like charttards ever bother to verify the numbers. Just post fake high numbers and they'll stay out of your threads.
>>724169985Congrats anon, how does it feel? Trials next?
>>7241658690.5% atm, which is pretty high considering the game is out for 4 days. With the option to play it on NG+, the added retarded warning circle and strong attack indicator, this really won't be the hardest MN. It might not even be harder than razor's edge UN lmao
>>724169520>realize how bad he is at playing gamesTrue but realistically who can be good enough to clear MNM on every game?
My only real complain is Yakumo gettins access to Gleam, they shoulve made a Bloodraven moveset for the DDS, making both characters more unique. I say this because I assume Ryu new weapon(s) will also have gleam, while Yakumo's will have bloodraven. DDS ruins the consistency
>>724170019Thanks>>724170248Really good, MN is pretty action packed my only nitpick would be that the bosses deal way too much damage but then again so do you. It felt like I was playing a souls game sometimes.
>>724169985impressive
Ninja Gaiden will never be the same without Itagaki but I still had fun with 3RE and now with 4.
>>724170267this is going to sound like cope but people are gonna install 100% savefiles with MN completed and are going to boost that number
This shit was so cool
>>724170391I agree, my only disappointment in such an amazing game. I've warmed up to it a bit as like a narrative thing but it still feels like a concession made to the budget or schedule.
>>724154315Fuck this game and fuck anyone who enjoys it. Itagaki is rolling in his grave.
>>724169783
Anyone feel like this game just shouldn't have been called "Ninja Gaiden 4"? I don't mean that in disrespect but it looks like everyone is running into the Devil May Cry 4 problem where they want to play as Dante/Ryu and not Nero/Yakumo.
>>724170391Yeah. They should have made the NG1 moveset the blood raven form.
ryu phase 2 is so much easier than his first one he's just constantly in that vulnerable phase
>>724170757>PCThey're all cheaters who use trainers and mods. Xbox supremacy stays strong.
>>724171103That'd be sick, it'd be cool if he embraced his inner demon for it too. All in on the edge.
>>7241597671 - People don't like toned down male gaze, they're buying a mature rated game so the decision is entirely ideological.They can't fool anyone with more modest costume for Ayane just because it has underboob. And the fully clothed shibari isn't saying much eiher.2 - Microsoft (publisher) has a shit reputation in general including amonst Resetera types.
>>724170836True ninja shit
>>724169528I wonder how zoomers would've reacted to him
Is the Dragon forever dead?
>>724171076Nope. I love playing as both Yakumo and Ryu.
>>724171472>"guys she's toned down!">she actually shows more titty than in NG1okay faggot
>>724171585Yee he's extra dead.
>>724171585No
I hope they let me use Blade of the Archfiend as a skin for DDS in a patch, if not I'm sure someone will mod it to do so.>>724170757Still the best MN so far next to NGB imo.
>>724171076Yakumo is way cooler than Ryu, retard
I think this might be a top 5 action game for me, I fucking love it. Going from FS to wallrun instantly is kino>the sales are badOh well, it’s a shame that an amazing game goes unappreciated but what can you do?
Do I play as a cute girl for one level in this game?
Just finished it on hard. My only gripe is, flying enemies but no bow. Literally why?
>>724172171By the end of the game, he’s probably stronger too
>>724172365Because every weapon has bloodraven + shuriken
>>724172171Sales say otherwise just like with DMC4
>>724161968>We unironically need to go back.What are mechanics and gimmicks that haven't been explored yet?
>>724172365You've got a few ways to deal with them, grapple, bloodraven, Kage Hiruko, the funniest is just chucking other assholes into them.
>>724171076No, it makes sense why they would start you off with a new character. Its to keep it fresh for the long time fans that entrenched themselves into a way of playing. New moves and mechanics to learn. Also opens the door for new players.
>>724162065kek, feels like some shit you'd see in a fighting game TAS combo
Don't care, I'm not playing ninja gayden 4 no matter how hard you faggots shill it to me until I beat 1 2 3 first. Redpill me the best version of each game, I'm a PCfag
>>724172443Nero games massively outsold Dante games though. Mostly because of better marketing. Also wtf do sales have to do with cool.
>>724172365Just GT bro.
>>724172598Black and vanilla 2. Good luck with finding a way to play vanilla 2.Razors Edge is good. Dont let the contrarians fool you.
>>724172598>PCEmulate Ninja Gaiden Black using xemuThe best version of 2 is the original but emulation for Xbox 360 is still kind of shit so your options are either to tank the audio cutting out when emulating it with xenia and having to constantly restart the emulator or just cuck out and buy the collection on steam and play 2 SigmaBest version of 3 is 3RE which is available in the collection on steam
>>724172698>Gleam in GTBadass
>>724172598ng2 black with white mod if you're a hardcore gamer or ng sigma 1
>>724172754>Dont let the contrarians fool you.It was once considered contrarian to like the game. Times are a changing.
>>724172821Dont offer sigma 1.Sigma 1 may be very close to Black, but they neutered the adventure aspect of Black. One of its most soulful part of the game.
>>724172598Just play 4, it’s got the best weapons and the best protagonist in the entire franchise
>>724172708These scores are still too low for what the game deserves. Expected worse from journos tho so I'll take it.
>>724171675Ayane popping up in a burka in vanilla 3 is hilarious
>>724173015Look at those tsubas. Simple and elegant.
>>724162127Kys tendie.
So either I'm schizo or just imagining things, but some OTs for Ryu have different animations when you use the blade of the archfiend.
>>724173272you can easily test it in training mode
>>724173015Why would a ninja use brand sponsored gear?
>>724165027>hair: nice>body: okay I guess>legs: what the fuckMy biggest gripe is the designs doesn't feel Ninja Gaiden at all and this is true to pretty much everything in the game.
They should’ve let Yakumo kill off Ryu just to piss off the NG2fags
I am playing ng1 because I cant buy ng4 yet and it's such a pain to land GTs, I hate this shit, the campaign is a chore to replay too
>>724173402Techincally, Ninja Gaiden (Xbox) doesn't feel like Ninja Gaiden (NES) who doesn't feel like Ninja Gaiden (Arcade).So is it that bad?
>>724173521Do not play the original ninja gaiden 1, it's trash
>>724163491>2025>we still have mad xboxfaggots
>>724171002bitch pls, movement is maybe a bit slower and level are bland (kinda expected from platinum) but action is top tier, even Itagaki would praise it.
>>724154315test
>>724173007>but they neutered the adventure aspect of BlackG O O D, oh my god when will the children grow up out of their low quality puzzles and poor platforming sections
>>724173638>but action is top tierYou have never played a Ninja Gaiden game in your life.
>>724173334Raven clan has suffered under the new draconian DDO tariffs so they need the sponsorship money.
>>724159141Character action games are addicted to sabotaging themselves with basically every form of gameplay they've ever tried that wasn't just straightforward combat, and that's why beat 'em ups are superior.
>>724171472what happened with doa6
>>724172708>Xbox Game StudiosWell, that explains a few things. Hopefully this means Xbox will fund the next game (assuming there is one).
Is the damage kind of off in this game or is it me? I'm unloading full UT's in some enemies and they sometimes don't die. Is there some sort of damage trick I'm missing?
>>724173578ehhhhh, I am playing the sigma port and it's my 4th playthrough... Just got annoyed at easy to miss the GT
>>724172708>IGN: 8/10>IGN Japan : 9/10Lol
>>724173845Moving from the Soft Engine to the Unreal Engine. Also the faggots at Team Ninja don't know what they're doing. Still don't.
>>724172365>but no bowFuck off with bow, Kage-Hiruko is superior.
>>724161526They wanted to show off the technology I guess, also if you're naive you just think expanding the range of things a player can do in a game automatically makes it better.
>>724173542It is much easier to differentiate between two completely different type of game, especially when it is 2D and 3D. 3D Ninja Gaidens are judged by 1 and 2. They have a very special look along with DOA 1-4 and DOAX. NG4 Ayane looks like a completely different character as it doesn't really follow any of the design principles of the original game. Same with the bosses etc.
>>724173889Some elite enemies are capable of tanking the raw damage of the UT. Try UTing a boss where you can see how much the health bar goes does, they do a lot of damage but it's not an insane amount.
>>724173778>DMC5 finally cuts out all the boring puzzles and platforming and solely focuses on combat sections through the whole game>have to spend a portion of that playing as VThey were so close
>>724163461oldslop good, newslop bad
>>724174057I liked the puzzles and the platforming.
>>724173889Enemies die really quickly in this game, aside from mini bosses and actual bosses UT reliably kills pretty much anything else.
>>724174057V is a good character, he just happens to be in the same game as Dante, Vergil and Nero.
It's just more shallow spectacle platinumslop. I'm on the final stretch of the game and have gotten through literally all of it by spamming Izuna Drops and UT's. All this time and I have no clue how the dumb fucking red sword mode works and I don't give a shit about the epic special purple circle mode for anything except the instakill ability. All this work put into these faggot extra modes when everything else is chronically lacking any fucking depth.This new Raven clan stuff is lame and gay, and it would be so much more interesting if you were playing as a member of the Spider Ninja Clan, and this just took place after 2/3, rather than some weird unspecified time that happened after those games.Also, it would be better if you were just playing as Ryu.Really? 4 goddamn weapons, all with the same fucking moveset? What a disappointment. It all plays the fucking same. Just spam XXXYYYY or XXYYYY and XYXXXY or whatever the fuck then do some UT's and it's done.>inb4 durrr no the weapons are different because [retarded bullshit]They all play the same and you know it. No push forward combos, no spacing, no timing, no 360 inputs, no 360 UT's, no running attacks, no distinct niches. No substance, just>mash light then heavy>Do Izuna Drop>Guillotine Throw>Spam that one long grounded combo on bossesWhy was there an entire section of the game populated exclusively by obnoxiously tanky miniboss enemies, dogs, and those dumb fucking shore zombies from Elden Ring? Who thought this shit was a good idea? "let's just use the most notorious and legendarily annoying and unfun enemies from every action game ever and dump them all into several levels!".This game has better Dark Souls bosses than Elden Ring, and somehow probably some of the best boss fights in the series. I still fucking hate them though.
>>724173542could you imagine this in 2025
>>724174180>I'm on the final stretch of the game and have gotten through literally all of it by spamming Izuna Drops and UT's.this sentence in a vacuum sounds like every NG ever except NG3
>>724172810um sweaty ninja gaiden 2 black exists and the restored enemy spawns from vanilla mod makes it the best version of the game for PCfags
>>724174180>it would be so much more interesting if you were playing as a member of the Spider Ninja ClanBoy do I have the game for you.
>>724164036Going to youtube commets made it seem filled with sweatlords who are angry that frame perfect parries are no longer in the game and if you can't do frame-perfect parries reliably, you should go back to Fortnite.
>>724174180>I'm on the final stretch of the game and have gotten through literally all of it by spamming Izuna Drops and UT'sThat's your average vanilla NG2 Master Ninja playthrough right there.
>>724174180>All this time and I have no clue how the dumb fucking red sword mode worksOh so you're retarded. Glad to know I can disregard the rest of this post.
>>724174180Waaait a second this is just objectively wrong.
>>724174319ThisBlack cut out so much obnoxious shit from the OG version. Yea the spear gun segments added so much to the game.
>>724173778beat em ups also have a better view of the action than any 3d character action game. even ninja gaiden 4 hasn't completely solved the camera problem. if I were to design an action game i would just zoom out the camera and make the combat arenas fit in one screen like in the god of war ps2 games
>>724160306Not really, there was NG2B for people that were interested to get into the franchise, turns out no one played that either. In the end money talks and the NG franchise just has not enough appeal to be sustainable.
>>724174128The oni's in the underworld rave level were capable of eating UT's from the staff like nothing. Even the dual blades had like a 50/50 chance of killing them.
>>724174616I actually got into NG because of NG2B...I played it on gamepass the hour it launched
How hard is it?
is the game better on hard and above? I just beat chapters 7, 8 and 9 and every single encounter was the same 2 enemies being spammed endlessly as I killed them by button mashing the staff effortlessly. Then the blue fuck axolotl boss was one of the most boring and uninspired bosses I've ever seen in my entire life in an action game. Very mixed feelings about the game
mods when
>>724174792>>724174845I've maxed out at ~7 deaths on a single level on hard, and that was against that annoying bird dog bossfight. It doesn't get much better
>>724174792Pretty hard but incredibly abusable just like every previous NG.
>>724174713There needs to be a couple tens of thousands more of you to make it a financially viable endeavour anon. I wish it was not the case but that's where we're at. They tried, they gave it an earnest effort to make the franchise accessible to newer players and it failed.
>>724174971I feel pity for NG1 and NG2. Both were amazing action games that definitely appealed to the Japanese, but they were on Xbox and thus doomed to failure in japan.
>>724174931I'm starting to feel like platinum did loose their sauce after everyone important left. The game is kinda saved by the fact that it vaguely feels like ninja gaiden so it's very fun but I've seen low budget chinese action games with better game design and presentation
>>724164014huh? where in master ninja?
>>724173680When will you grow up and have an adventure?
>>724174845what exactly do you want from a hack n slash game?
>>724160098Over half of those gamers for each game is Chinese. The CCP is keeping real games alive. White people are addicted to boring turn based porn games like BG3.
>>724174792Game is more 'fair' than the previous games but isn't really any less hard. I haven't tried newgame MN deathwish but it's definitely going to be a challenge.
So this game does not have a mission mode?
>>724174931Not on your first playthrough surely? Or are you just abusing the shit out of items?
>>724173402I really don't get this obsession with asymetrical clothing. It almost always looks goofy
the camera becomes increasingly obnoxious af in the wind ravine level
>>724168192I don't like it much, it's missing the beak motif on the mask. The clothing itself mimicking Seori's pattern is nice, but its missing too much bird stuff for me.
>>724175136Good encounter design, good bosses and nice weapons with fun combos at the very least. This game has none of that sadly. Not even secondary stuff like level design and artstyle is good
>>724169203Izuna drop is heavily nerfed as a safe bnb in 4 because being in the air is way more dangerous.
>>724175365Which games have all of those?
>>724175471Ninja Gaiden 4
>>724159141That level is not that bad at all. Just skip encounters if it pisses you off that much. I liked the level since it reminds me of how games from the past would have that one odd water level. It also makes Tairon seem like a much more authentic place in the games lore. You aren't just going to disconnected level after disconnected level.
>>724175301I constantly have like 50K cashmoniez and the game loads you to the fucking tits-- there's like, 3 revives in the first few levels alone and I used none of them. Tradition from previous games demands I hoard my items like a dragon until the bosses where I instantly spam literally all of them after my 3rd attempt before getting to the next stage where I instantly refill my inventory again. Even if I don't, the levels usually load you up anyways, and the levels themselves are never hard enough to require use of items EVER.It used to take a full new game run or some ridiculous skill to get this rich in the previous games but this one just gives you everything for free basically.>>724175103It's just generic chinkslop with the NG name plastered on it. I was really excited about it before release but it's just not satisfying me like I hoped it would
>>724173651sorry but you're too fat to be a ninja
>Actually like Yakumo>Very fun to play>Ryu is a complete BEAST and feels like it too>final chapters are some of the best final chapters in the series, maybe even better than NGBs crazy gauntlet>capped off with great boss fights at the endThe finale is so much stronger than 2 and 3 it's unreal.
>>724155260make blood mode interact with essence but instead of just UT it changes something depending wich attack like last light combo of the odachi its a flurry of attacks or a judgement cut, it could make the 360 heavy attack charge instantly , the hammer could grab an opponent and smash it to the ground, the drill could shoot like in transformers devastation , things like thati would also like for the ddo commander to become a normal enemy and maybe a new ddo commander that uses the big shurikens since the elites that uses those weapons where the only fun guys made by plat in the game
>>724175241When you beat the game you get chapter select, the ability to play as Ryu in every mission (and by extension Yakumo in Ryu's missions), Ninja Trials and the ability to replay any purgatory gate you cleared.
>>724174180
>>724175697>the ability to play as Ryu in every mission (and by extension Yakumo in Ryu's missions),This is what I wanted from DMC5. Screw them.
>>724175593What type of games do you usually play and what's your favorite one? I'm just really curious as to how the fuck you think this is chinkslop lmfao
>>724172598NGB, 2, 3RE is the most acclaimed way.NGS, NGS2 or NG2B, 3RE is the most accessible way
Actiontard chads keep winning. Rollslop soulslop sisters on suicide watch
>>724155260My wife brought back.
Vanilla 3 is underrated.
>>724175671The game would be way more interesting if they just removed UTs and made blood charge attacks instant upon absorbing essence.
>>724171675game flopped, sorry anon.
>>724175471God Hand. shame about the tank controls and camera
>>724174845>get Cs and Bs>chapter 8: not-lunar acquired>immediately SSS ranks from next two chapters
>>724174792If you don't use items then it's really hard, if you do use items it's a lot more mangable. This game incentivize you to not use items unlike other NG games because there's a bigger focus on scoring.
>>724175943Yakumo will venture to the depths of Hell to save her.
>>724175843>FavoriteIt's up in the air between 1Black and Vanilla 2.>What games do you playIt varies, but I certainly don't make a habit of playing chinkslop. Shit like gacha games, anime games, stuff like Monster Hunter or modern JRPG's, that kinda stuff. NG4 definitely has that stank to it in its graphics and style.
>>724176127>This game incentivize you to not use items unlike other NG games because there's a bigger focus on scoringyou still get to use 3 heals without a penalty no?>because there's a bigger focus on scoringNot really, especially for your first run
>>724176446>you still get to use 3 heals without a penalty no?Yes, but if you don't use items you get a 1.2x bonus
>>724176024yeah I thought the same, UTs didnt need to come back, dont care if the retards would cry that its not NG
i never played ninja gaiden but love nioh 2 (team ninja) and nier automata (platinumgames), sorry guys but a secondary will be playing your game when it drops in price.
I abuse heals and I'm happy with my c d score
>>724174338why wasn't this just Ayane?
>>724176604Just pirate it retard
>>724176604same but I just pirated and beat Neir Automata just a week ago and I pirated this game a couple days ago and it's so fun
>>724175116there are some in the mission mode
>>724176024This is what I thought they were going for in the reveal trailer. Although it wouldn't really work in the game currently, every Bloodraven weapon functions differently.
yeah people are cheating in master ninja saves lol
I've been watching this Japanese streamer try to beat but fail the disco shark on normal mode for the past hour.
just finished og 2 on xenia, it lagged so fucking much and pretty sure there was some imput lag too but (kinda) worth it in the end. don't think i'll go for mentor in this state thoif i want the extra girls missions and hopefully a less shitted performance, should i go with sigma or black? is sigma 1 also worth playing?
>>724176625Because she's a totally different character who does totally different things?
>>724160098Who the fuck playes a game like this on PC? That’s like playing CIV on console
Anyone that uses items, berserk mode and UTs did not beat the game.
hopefully they covered their expenses with the gamepass deal. if you think about it this series never had a broad appeal. I myself have played pretty much every good CAG out there and only got to play NG for the first time when the master collection came out, since the series was stuck on the xbox. I believe a lot of people missed on it, and since the xbox brand is as good as dead nowadays, new players just dont know how impactful the game was back then
>>724176656>>724176760Pirating games that are available for purchase and accessible is the same as stealing, repent or burn in hell.
>>724177215You should kill yourself
i can collect ayanes shurikens in chapter mode right......
>>724177380You did not beat the game.
>>724177215Why are your charge attacks not instakilling them?
>>724177387Yeah
>>724177215Dumb Soulsnigger lobotomite pushing his arbitrary cancer here
>>724175768>>724175768The fact that DMC5 nor Bayo 3 (from what I played, never finished it) don't do this is annoying. Despite how people like to shit on 3RE the fact that you can play through every stage with the girls is something it has over most action games, I wish Sigma 2 added it in so it would have something over OG2.>>724175972Vanilla 3 is just bad>>724175768The fact that DMC5 nor Bayo 3 (from what I played, never finished it) don't do this is annoying.

I am playing on normal and using items and I am having FUN
>>724177150it plays better with keyboard than with controller
>>724164585>userskek, desperate wo long shill.
>>724177586Take it with KT.
>>724177641Nah, I know wo long is a dogshit game, that is all that matters. So is Rise of the Ronin. Nioh 3 will also be dogshit because of the open-field, despite having the best combat and gameplay out of all Nioh games. Team Ninja is just retarded.
>>724177485One thing to note though you can't do it with Ryu, it only counts as Yakumo
NG4 is so good that I'm tempted to give Team Nigga's games a chance.Nioh or Wo Long?All I've heard about Nioh is that it's some Saark Souls wannabe.
Does anyone have a list of all obtainable accessories and what they do? Hayabusa text vol.1 is insane, what do the others do?
>>724177484Out of range.>>724177517If you take damage you didn't beat the game.
platinum games and team ninja deserved this failurecrapcoom is next with resident evil 9
>>724177865Yeah, dilate.
>>724177930You won't like nioh as a ninja gaiden fan. I recommend dynasty warriors origins instead. It has a demo, you can try it out.
>>724154315ban steam chart threads.
>>724177930dont. they stopped making good games after 3RE, and it took platinum for them to deliver another good one
>>724178103>he likes open-world slopoof.
>>724177901>Hey twink, go find my Easter eggs>He actually does it
>>724177215actually UTs and bloodbath kills give extra points so people who use those are better players than the ones who dont.
>>724177573You’ve never seen a pussy in real life have you?
>>724177930nioh is mediocre and wo long straight up sucks ass.play stranger of paradise. It's Nioh but good.
>>724154315You mean 1,579, right?
>>724177930Stay far away from Wo Long and Rise of the Ronin, by far the worst nu-Team Cuckja games out there.Wait for Nioh 1 to go on sale, you can pick it up for very cheap. Then try it out and see if you like it. If you do, you can go straight to Nioh 3 when that is out.
Can I get a QRD on why Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 & 2 on Steam are so fucking bad? Also, I know 3 is a turd but is the Steam version the "best" version of the turd?
>>724178345>immediately resorts to arguing with holesmust be a femoid, go back to tiktok where you belong
>>724178523what a retarded boomer
>>724178356I like all three.
>>724178598Sigma 1 is copable, it tries to sand off the edges of the game by removing non action bits but it ends up adding more by including extra missions where you play as a girl who sucks. Sigma 2 is a sloppy rebalancing of 2 which wasn't really a well balanced game to begin with, but instead of being batshit insane they decided to just make it boring. Missions where you play as girls are here but not as bad as Sigma 1, still not really all that welcome. 3RE is the best version of the game, combat is better and the girls are actually fun to play.
thoughts?
>>724178598Smegma 1 has more input delay/latency + enemy AI is dumbed down, most obvious in Doku fights being piss easy compared to NGB.Smegma 2 is just a censored abomination, ocmpletely gutted gameplay wise with tons of missing content compared to NGII.NG3:RE on Steam is the best version of NG3:RE yes.
>>724178523>Wait for Nioh 1 to go on sale, you can pick it up for very cheap. Then try it out and see if you like it. If you do, you can go straight to Nioh 3 when that is out.EXTREMELY BASED. Fuck Nioh 2.I pre-ordered Nioh 3 Digital Deluxe Edition on Steam. I love how Nioh 3 is massively reducing the RPG elements and massively increasing the ACTION elements of the Nioh formula. Team Ninja is taking a huge shit in the mouth of all the Nioh 2 subhuman fanboys who claimed for years that "Nioh 2 perfected the Nioh formula". Imagine getting refuted and BTFO'd by the developers themselves, it is so humiliating for them.>Leveling up attributes reduced and the weapon scalings simplified>The amount of returning Nioh 2 dedicated Samurai weapons with weapon stances system reduced to only 7 from 11.>All the new dedicated Ninja Style weapons are Ninja Gaiden inspired and focus heavily on action and aerial movement.>Switching between Samurai Style and Ninja Style is completely optional>Ninja Style can dispel Yokai Realm>Team Ninja confirmed you can beat the entire game as a Ninja Style purist>Onmyo magic completely gutted and simplified>Living Weapons are back and stronger than everI can't wait to enjoy Nioh 3, the game that made Nioh 2 irrelevant and avenged Nioh 1 bros. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Team Ninja.
>>724178884>removing non action bitsWhat the fuck does that even mean?>instead of being batshit insane they decided to just make it boring.You're not making a good case against it. If it was insanely off-balanced to begin with any form of actual balance will feel boring in comparison. You sound like a masochist.
>>724177930nioh is samurai dark souls and kind of blandnioh 2 is a lot better but you have to git gud to transcend past the dark souls shitwo long is china sekiro. it's the worst of the bunchstranger of paradise is based and is closest to ng4. unless you count like fire emblem warriors
>>724154315I kneel...
>>724178884>Missions where you play as girls are here but not as bad as Sigma 1I'd argue for the opposite.Rachel in 1 was boring but at least she could kill fast and reliably. In 2 their damage is AWFUL, especially Ayane.
>>724154847Bloodlines 2 had twice the peak of Flop Gaiden 4
>>724179093>stranger of paradise is based and is closest to ng4Mental illness. We need to put this retarded SoPfags down, fuck your shitty game and fuck that faggot jack.
>>724174180j-just replay the game 20 more times bro.... I s-swear it becomes deep 3 replays in bro...
>>724178523kys
>>724179072nioh 1 is more reliant on rpg shit. having high block stat means the game plays itself.2 just lets you do whatever the fuck you want as long as you understand the systems.
>>724179552It's a schizo https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/text/Nioh%20is%20massively%20reducing%20/
>>724179080>What the fuck does that even mean?It means bits of the game that weren't combat got cut.>If it was insanely off-balanced to begin with any form of actual balance will feel boring in comparison. You sound like a masochist.Both versions are unbalanced, sigma 2 is just sterile and boring. Basically enemy numbers are reduced heavily but they are much stronger and tankier to compensate for it, the enemies weren't designed for this so it's a lot of wailing on sandbags who aren't equipped to defend themselves.
>>724177002Ninja Dog behavior
>>724155260How about single use combo extender that automatically kick in when you're about to end an combo, we could sell em in bulks of 10x in a in-game store for real life currency. Maybe introduce a new SSS rank challenges that can solely bed achieved by using said extenders? I think that'd be pretty epic
>>724179227Eh, I guess to each their own. Rachel moving as slow and clumsily as she did way beyond annoying for me. At least she had a machine gun in 2.
>>724177930Wo long is good at the end of DLC2 onward. Your mileage will vary going through NG cycle. It's alright I guess, SoP is amazing and Nioh 1 and Nioh 2 are. RoR is ehhhhhhhhhh
>>724178920idk playing on hard made me think that the charge attacks are suicide, i pretty much avoided using them during my playthrough
>>724178282Every woman in this game wants Yakumo’s dick, huh
>>724178920Love this thing, I hate getting hit anyway and the difference is pretty noticeable.
>>724180597RoR is pure fanservice for history heads. the combat teeters between awful and alright depending on what stances you're using.
>>724180890He's got the Cloud Strife effect.
>>724180890Can you blame them? The guy’s a total chad
