We NEED playable Ayane
>>724326217Built for Yakumo.
>>724326217Ayane needs to bend me over the kitchen table and make me her bitch with her 7.8 strap on
I love Ayane, she's so cool!
>>724326485What’s the tactical advantage to have your toes exposed?
>>724326485butt way too small
>>724326540Seduce your opponent and let their guard down
We need playable naked Momiji.
>>724326485>>724326678The five thousand year asian woman curse. Truly egregious.
Chapter 6 is testing my fucking patience.These Tengu are so awful to deal with.
Playing through Master Ninja on 4 right now, I like the number of enemies and challenge overall, but it exposed something that I think I dislike about the game. There is no way to recover health outside of items and Umi shrines, apart from items which are naturally seen as a "crutch" to use since they lower your score and all. NG1 and 2 had blue orbs and NG3 had healing ninpo, but in this game your only source of healing outside of items is a very terrible pair of accessories that give you like 2% health on an OT or a bloodbath kill.
>>724326217underboob cleavage > regular cleavage
>>724326217So what's her bloodraven/gleam force equivalent gonna be?
>>724327630I agree that healing in 1 and 2 were overall better but 3 is absolute dogshit in the way it handled it.
>>724327630Yeah you basically need to no hit or rely on items
>>724327376Guillotine Throw those bitches. Takeminakata's brB also works well.>>724327630It's part of the score flow. You're not really supposed to take damage if you want max score (Untouchable), so that's why the game only has health recovery options that lower your score (besides the red orbs the enemies drop).
>>724326217So now that you've beaten the game, what did you think of the designs? You wouldn't want to be mean to her right?
>>724327890I don't mind it at all in 3. It is basically the same idea as 1 and 2 but tied to a resource of yours instead of random drops from enemies. The principle is the same, if you playe well and kill lots of enemies, you get a chance to heal. Only in 3 it's more skill based and reliant on good timing/usage of ninpo rather than complete RNG.
>>724327630You can heal red health by hitting enemies but it's not a good enough substitute.>>724327947I'll focus more on that, the problem I'm having rn is that they keep spawning in with those tanky mask dudes so it's sometimes hard to get the windstep to go to them instead of the maskguys who just shove you away when you try to throw them.The other half of the time they're hovering over cliffs.
>>724327376the lanterns are worse
>>724327998Outside of Yakumo's base outfit(raven master outfit is better) I liked the designs.
>>724326217what was the point of her? she shows up in one cutscene and then you never see her again. ANd I cant believe they pulled a DMC4 where you play as yakumo most of the game and then just play bits and pieces of levels with ryu. combat was good but everything else is kinda shit
>>724326485So many straps to grab onto
>>724327779She had mountain god ninpo before, maybe she can use earth based ninjutsu similar to how Raven uses blood ninjutsu? They can be much heavier attacks to contrast how quick and nimble she usually is.
>>724328027I mean you can say the same thing about 4 with the difference being you can use healing items like in 1 and 2.
Is Ayane stronger than Kasumi?
>>724326217ninja gaiden does not need more nortubel characters
>>724328278She serves the same purpose as Ryu, prevent the riots that would have happened if there wasn't at least some semblance of classic NG character presence because Platinum's story had nothing to do with the old games.
>>724328074i just fs the lanterns and they diethe tengu hover 20 feet up and spam projectiles. fuck them
>>724326678N
>>724328278Ayane has always been a cameo in base games outside of 1, and honestly I can't be the only one to really like the game setting and story am I?
NG4 is not a "true" NG game but it'll probably still become my second favorite after the DLC and maybe a few tweaks with patches.
>>724328278Its Yakumo's Kureha with a better on screen dynamic. Also, boobs
>>724328417No, Kasumi dunks on anyone not named Ryu. Ayane is not too far thougheverbeit.
>>724327779if they were based, you would hold the trigger to enter back-turn stance.
>...
>>724328531Not at all, setting is great and the story is the series best. I really enjoyed both a lot.
>>724328679>...
>>724326217>>724328549I hope Itagaki's death serves as a wake up call for devs so they put effort on the DLC. Just give me more Ryu, then we can call it a NG game
>>724328604>Kasumi dunks on anyone not named RyuNot named Ryu or Yakumo.
I played 2 back in the day and sigma 2 last year (master collection). Is 2 Black worth it om ps5 for the spectacle? I have 25 hours already on NG4 but I crave more Ryu
>>724327630Red orbs heal you a bit.There's quite a few objects in the environment you can break for health. It's not a lot, however you can increase it somewhat noticabely by equipping the accessory that increases the rate at which Large red orbs drop. It's made a difference enough for me sometimes taking me from the DANGER stage with the stupid vignette to normal health again.I think this is the kind of thing that might end up seeming more fair as people play the game more and time goes on, because 4 has the strongest defensive tools in the series with the new perfect block, parries, buffed GT, gleam/raven cancels and such.
>>724326217>appears for 2 minutes>returns to her home planetYou gonna have to wait until the Sigma Razor's Edge Edition for the Nextbox/PS6 for her playable debut.
>>724327998The designs were good. I think she did a good job.
>>724328549>4 is not a true NG gameIt has aggressive enemies, fast-paced gameplay(arguably the fastest in the series), wall-running, ninja trials, and brought back essence and test of valor. Outside of it being developed by Platinum, it is a real NG game.
>>7243289572 Black is noticeably better than Sigma 2 so yeah.
>>724327630Essence adds up pretty quickly if you're getting them to drop.
>pov you're yakumo
>>724328816Yeah, whatever
They really turned Van Gelfs into complete rape monsters in 4. Rape gelf is probably the most dangerous enemy in the game.
>>724328073The Mahoragas can also be dealt with by chuckling them off of cliffs.Get Takeminakata's Back, Forward+Y and you can knock them out with speed and safety.
>>724328505So you're on normal. The lanterns don't die to Flying Swallow on hard.
>fling the blood off of your weapons after a fight>so you can turn them into blood and put them away
>>724328679Yakumo is cooler
>>724329495>their blood vs your bloodYou dont want to get aids, anon
>>724328719Is this supposed to be in Bleach’s art style?
>>724329526said no one ever
>>724329676I say this unironically
I know its a singleplayer action game and its not really that important. But could they REALLY not have come up with some better excuses why characters are always conveniently absent when Yakumo could clearly use some help? Or how your team is magically one step ahead of you a lot of the time?I'm not asking for NPC AIs or something. But they could at least have Ryu, Tyran and Ayane all show up to help in a cutscene for the Dark Dragon fight. Instead of just leaving the fate of the world to some 14 year old kid because he's the chosen one
>>724328719>can you color this drawing with a silver hair and white robe with violet accents? use a anime style.AI is getting crazy wtf
>>724329676Most people who liked the game agree
>>724329725Interesting design choice
>>724327998ryu looks fucking stupidhow does the poor guy even sit in those
>>724329416you can do 3 of them in a row. cope.
>>724329725Yakumo just doesn't need help, the only time he was in serious danger was when Ryu and Kagachi ambushed him in the mountains, and that encounter was probably over in less then 3 minutes. If you do die Umi calls in backup, which probably includes Tyran at least.
>>724329921Girls with well groomed feet give off stacy energy
>>724329973Combat suit is not for sitting.
>>724329725>beat Kagachi>Seori and nerd are already at the shrine
>>724329973>how do you sit in armor
>>724329973ninjas dont sit, dumbass
Those odachi blade vault abilities are insanely fun
>>724329973it's a tad bit too tacticool. I mean sure armor is important but he's a (super) ninja ffs just don't get hit.
>>724329921Have anybody noticed that modern Team Ninja always include visible feet in their games?
>>724329551>a drop stays in the staff's greebles>diemaybe he should just get a sheath
>>724330226No?
>>724327998I love all the designs, I think she tends to make things just a tad busy but overall she really seems to understand what she's doing. Her blog was a lot of fun to follow too.
Ninjas don't sit they boogie
>clear game in normal mode because i'm a baby>try MN>took me 2 hours and 10 tries to beat chapter 1I might be able to do it.
>>724329826qwen edit?
>>724330020I know. They still don't die. Play on hard.
>>724330185NG3 Ryu was the peak design>No more dumb skintight leather outfit like NG1 and 2>Instead looks like he's wearing some kind of light black armor kevlar, which makes sense>Not overdesigned with high tech shit like NG4 Ryu
>>724330523i have never attempted normal, just went straight to hard. whenever the lanterns spawn i shuriken, mash fs and then move to the next enemy. they have fuck all health and the explosion is telegraphed way way in advance. you're seething over an enemy that dies in 1 second
>>724330549So fucking peak...
>>724327779Some that let her auto-dodge anything, while enabling her light and heavy attacks to ignore guard while speeding up her movement.Also, she could switch kunaïs.
>>724329973Its not for sitting. It prevents his cheeks from clapping.
>>724328505BR A with the swords will take you 20 feet up too, jump off of it and either izuna drop or guillotine throw them.
>>724330358>overall she really seems to understand what she's doinglol no, the dumb nip bitch can't even get basic anatomy right.
>>724327630They actually only lower your score past 3. No items is a bonus, not the baseline, you get 1.2x points for it. 3 items give you 1.0x. Accessories can add up a lot, and some are made with combinations in mind.Essence heal is pitiful outside of big essence, but an accessory that increases drop rate of large essence makes a big difference. Bloodbath kills come too late in an encounter for the accessory that gives you life steal on those to be worth it, until you combine it with the accessory that gives every BR move that can trigger a bloodbath kill the chance to do it during normal gameplay too, then suddenly it's top tier.Too early to pass judgment on balance, I think.
Just finished the gameThe forest and ravine levels aren't that bad in hindsight now compared to how dogshit the Ryu missions and onwards are
>>724329281They already went from pushovers in 2 to pretty strong in 3, looking forward to meeting them in 4.
>>724330549>Black leather skintight spandex in 2004>Tacticool kevlar armor in 2012>High tech cyberpunk suit in 2025Man, now that I think about it, Ryu is such a trend chaser. Who is this guy trying to impress?
>>724330694I am not complaining about the lanterns.>>724330504Gemini 2.5 pro
>>724329281never liked these jackasses in 3, the skull challenges were a nightmare
>>724330427yeah if you're that bad maybe try it on hard like the first 4-5 chapters then switch to MN
>>724330549I don't play DOA but he looks pretty rad in 6
>>724331176I can see Matrix and Batman for 2004 and 2012, but what's 2025 supposed to be?
>>724331176Ryu loves looking cool for the children that admire him.
well how do I emulate ng blackdo I need to put in cheat tables for it to run at 60 fps or something
>>724331361>>724331176The game is set in like, 2040.
>>724330358Ayanes boot thing looks hideous, otherwise i like the design well enough
>>724326217Game would've sold 100x better if they just made her the protagonist instead of literal who emo Sasuke zoomer.
>>724330185What's up with the terminology inconsistency anyway? Why do they sometimes translate it as Super Ninja and others as Master Ninja?
>>724329281They got fucking bootcamps in hell since they went on an off-screen training arc.
>>724331445>The game is set in like, 2040What?All I know is that the NES game are now canon.
>>724331361I feel like as a general trend, the style of constantly moving tech armor has gotten more popular, things like Cyberpunk, Ghost Runner, etc etc
>"Know that the path of the ninja is a solitary one, Yakumo">goes back to his village where he lives with Momiji, Kasumi, his dad, a bunch of his friends, and children that look up to him>Can also call Irene any time for a hook upwhat did Ryu "The Winter Soldier" Hayabusa mean by this
>>724331124>"oh sweet finally its Ryu time">"hmm these chapters feel kinda short">chapter 17 is just one fight and a bossDid they run out of budget or something?
>>724331124all kinda goes downhill after the sewer raves
>>724326217I wish i could be just like her though...
>>724331489Actually, he is more like Karas.
>>724331647>chapter 18 is some rooms and the boss is just some random ben 10 alien
how do i get more costumes?
>>724328027There is nothing skill based about it in 3, it leads into a degenerate playstyle of baiting SoBs nonstop.Also fuck SoB in general. It's even more powerful than a UT but you don't even have to work for it.
>>724331124I don't like the forest and ravine levels. Probably the low point for me.The first level there is mostly pretty good though.I liked the Ryu missions a lot, they kept the pace up
>>724331789$$$
>>724331636He wants a cute daughter
>>724331647maybe, at least it's excusable since you can play the whole game as ryu on chapter challenge and it counts for the MN achievement
>>724331792yeah when i got done with ryu's levels i was like wait, why did every level up to now feel like a fuckin slog?and it's because they were because i went back to redo them on hard and holy fuck man no wonder why i took so many breaks playing.
>>724331636At least Yakumo has Umi and Tyran.
>>724331789Pay up goy!
>>724328719nigga...
>>724331636Knowing the Hayabusa village by the time he got home it was probably burned to the ground again.
>>724332063honestly I kinda want to. does the deluxe edition upgrade include everything or will they announce more stuff down the line?
>>724332250>t. goycattle
>shitty pacing in the later half of the game where the transition to the old protag feels a little jarring and rushedWelcome back DMC4. And like DMC4 I'm still enjoying it even with its flaws.
>>724332250It has everything we know of for now, including the upcoming expansion. If future content is included is anyone's guess.
>>724332337They should give Ryu a spear for that Hattori Hanzo style.
>>724332337ryus weapon looks pretty faggy
>>724326485Not a single butterfly motif on this design. Did the artist not do their research? Are they korean?
>>724332337I wonder how switching to the new weapons will work.
>>724332509The butterfly shows up in her cameo cutscene.>>724328397
>>724329281>constant hyperarmor and can dodge your attacks
>>724332315gotta support action games man
>>724326217Is hard harder than NG Black? It's kicking my ass.
Lunar NGB > Lunar NG2
>>724332581I assume like Dante's Dark Slayer style.>>724332624The FUCK is wrong with Kamiya's finger?!
>>724326453HOLY FVARKING BASED
>>724331772Based KARAS enjoyer
>>724332325Ryu in NG4 feels even more tacked on than Dante did in DMC4. At least in DMC4 Dante is clearly very important to the story and kickstarts the whole plot. His presence is felt throughout the entire game. Meanwhile NG4 Ryu barely has any screentime outside his 4 playable missions. His only real purpose in the story is putting the seals in place (story macguffin, who cares really) and giving the dark dragon jewel to Yakumo.
>>724328657That would be so fucking cool. And I don't even have any idea what kind of cool shit she could do out of it, because her DOA moves at the end of the day are just some kicks and spins.
>>724332337is the dragon sword usually visible on ryu's back when he's using other weaponsthis better not be some wack ass gleam mode equivalent or replacement since ravenboy stole his whole moveset too
>>724332847It would be weirder to have a story about the Dark Dragon and Ryu not being involved in any way.
>>724329725Ayane do help him with the fish shortly after they met. The rest of the mission is shit that only Yakumo could deal with it. I think Tyran shows up too much. He should appear only in places were you get new dialog. Getting new skills could be done by Umi or the crow alone. Misaki has a reason for not helping as well.
>>724332847yeah, they really did Ryu dirty. I hope the DLC fixes that and gives him more levels than fagkumo
>>724332847I don't agree, Ryu is important to the story but he also plays a role that demands he doesn't appear much. Since he's technically an antagonist for most of the game. His approval is pretty much the climax of Yakumo's character arc, killing the Dark Dragon almost feels like a formality after that.
>>724333153COPE, RYU LOST
>You've unlocked the Dark Dragon Sword!>"wait a minute that stance">"oh no">mash square>"oh nooooo"man why are they doing ryu dirty like this
>>724332202>Haybusa village has black spider ninjas camping around 24/7 just waiting for him to leaveKek!
>>724332595Thats fine I guess although I wish it was reflected in her design. I also find the red accent to be ugly and out of place. Does Kasumi make a cameo?
>>724326407Yakumo is too young for her.
>>724326217She will never be yours. They are his daughters faggot
>>724332202The village actually has not burned down ever since Ryu took over as leader of the clan, or at least it seems like he is the leader after NG2 when Jo became a blind hermit and moved to the outskirts of the village. But it burned down a whopping 3 times while Jo was in charge.
>>724333408sleepy jo...
>>724333335That's how she likes them
>bustier belt>plunging cleavage>weird overcurtain window to give pseudo-underboob>clothing designed to give appearance of leotard without actually committing to it>panty lines for the hell of itI hate these outfits that do too much to try to be fanservice-y. It literally just wraps around to being too silly to be titillating.I feel like a simple catsuit with some accenting with a boob window if they don't want to do the full unzipped cleavage look would've done a lot better. Like how Momiji usually has a whole miko-themed jumpsuit going on.Seori is a fucking babe though I'm glad her personality isn't just generic reserved anime priestess.
>>724333471Jo Hayabusa wake up...
>>724332847It's a compromise in order to respect Ryu and the franchise. Platinum also knows they aren't Team Ninja, you know? If they'd made Ryu the MC and fucked up somehow, the risk is much higher than committing to an OC they are comfortable with. So they made a way to give Ryu a role in the story that allows him to swoop in for a few missions at the climax, feeling like a demigod to play, and providing him with an excuse to concede to Yakumo that doesn't tarnish his legacy or subvert his character, nor spoil the legitimacy they're trying to establish for Yakumo. You can imagine it wouldn't have been an easy thing to balance all these factors as neatly as they did.
>>724329101>dodge offset>ryu is a side character>perfect block>magic raven parries>no true motion input attacks/combos except stupid back/forward or 360>constant radio chatter >ninja """"""coins"""""""mmmnyo
>>724333193Team Ninja probably came halfway through the development and saw no Ryu and raped someone on the spot as a warning, then Ryu was added when the game was almost finished.
>>724333295Kasumi died before the game began.
>>724332847who cares about ryu anyway, he's such a nothingburger character
>>724332847they should have just started with ryu right away to keep it chronological and pull a mgs2
why cant i use the god damn weapon from chapter 19 after i already did it
>>724334307Need to beat all the boss trials.
>>724334407oh, boss trials.fuck

>>724334579Itagaki was an advisor for the Samurai Jack game btw.
>>724334682It's a decent game, great visuals too considering its budget. Definitely better production values than something like Korra, but still a licensed low budget game through and through, sadly.
>>724334637Ore wa Jacku

>>724334637All kino...
>>724326217We need unlocked graphics settings
>>724331176If you're killing demons all nobly and strongchaddedly, you can't allow yourself to be left behind by the times. Demons go cyber and shit, so Ryu does too
>>724333672the comically horny outfit fits pretty well with her teasing personality
https://x.com/STGshmups/status/1982851414167822450
How big of a difference does the attack increase accessories make? Can you feel it?
>>724331361Cyberpunk 2077 would have just come out when NG4 started development, so probably that
>>724328679>>724328732our MASTER NINJAS are so cool...
>>724335735Ain't Ryu 5'10, how short is she?
I did it!But I wish choosing harder was less about reducing your lifebar and just more ennemies or maybe tankier ennemies or some other modifiers.
>>724336227Ayane is only about 5 feet tall.
>>724335883If it's the same as the attack consumable it can make a decent difference by giving you just enough damage to push over the edge. So for lanterns if you use BR A,X with the swords you still need to finish them off, but with the attack buff item it's an instakill. Probably worth using for that one trial that spams them.
this is official art? holy based
>>724326217You'll have to buy the black version for her and then sigma for momiji two years after that

Still, it's a minor issue>ninja """"""coins"""""""A currency separated from the ones you use to buy skillsEverything you're bitching about is a non-issue.
>>724328027I respect what 3 does with it but ngl I like being able to cheese with items. I think it's okay to let players relax and play sloppy a bit and still be able to recover and it's not incompatible with high difficulty as we see in NGII.
>>724336637We are already whoring her out?
>>724333758NG2 added cinematic finishers so I guess it isn't a sequel to Ninja Gaiden.
I feel like such a retard for not realizing that you can charge the shuriken button as well in BR with Yakumo.
>>724336997OTs are just beat 'em up throws, same as the melee attacks in RE4
>>724337023There's so much to the Bloodraven mechanic, it's really easy to miss shit with it. I really like how they have their own strings too, even if they're short.
>>724326217>force to play some who twinkno surprised the game flopped hard
>>724334637You're missing one.
>>724337479that's what the kids and women these days but why pander to people who will never play real videogames anyway?He turned out to be based at least, despite looking like this.
>>724332676the shadow from his middle finger makes his index finger look fucked up
Does using items in Purgatories count on the mission screen?Is difficulty in purgatories the same across all difficulty levels?
>>724336637Yeah, the UI designer drew this art.
>>724332337Would be funny if Ryu's weapon was just that: two big ass gauntlets to punch enemies with.
>>724338090noyes
>>724338154>The UI designerWelp damn.
>>724336747I like the game, but come on man, they really did Ryu dirty, he really feels like a last minute addition
>>724338154I kneel
>>724338213nice
>>724338154
they really copied mahoraga and put him in the game
>>724338634As a basic enemy to boot lmao. And for a potential man that actually deliver.
>>724338238blame TN being too busy making gay open world nioh instead of actually helping for Ryu while at the same time not trusting platinum enough for his gameplay. They mentioned that had to sent builds to team ninja daily to make sure he plays right. But that can't be good when you're trying to make more content for him.
>>724338634I love getting jumped and gangraped on a small ledge at Rape Mountain by three of them.
I think these criticisms are spot on.
Finishing Ryu off with an izuna drop is crazy satisfying.
>>724338909I was genuinely shocked by how fun his fight was, felt like real anime shit
>>724338694need a gojo mod of ryu just for the piercing void screenshots
>>724337204guillotine throw is right there nigga
>>724338989I think I shit myself a little when he stole an essence and murdered me. It's kinda aura that Ryu is the best boss in his own franchise now.
>>724338846okay, am I supposed to hate the game now? It could've been better just like ng2 could've been better or ngb or every single video game
There's something I fundamentally don't get with timing in this gameI can't time my dodges or parries right with the rancor like fiend despite him doing slow wide swings
>>724338634and there's also that guy with Aizen's voice who's a traitor and does an attack similar to Hado 90
I love this and the devil may cry games along with Bayonetta 1. You all are faggots fighting for whatever reason
imagine if Tina was playable
>>724339398>and does an attack similar to Hado 90Kek i'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of thisBut seriously the second I heard his voice I knew the guy was gonna be a traitor, he's the perfect VA for this kind of shit after all
I'll get the game next week, hope you fags will have the threads up by then...
ryu's flying bird trick is sooo slow compared to yakumos...he's getting old..
I don't think anyone is ready for how horribly optimized Nioh 3 is going to be compared to this
>>724326407this.
>>724338846If by moveset he means inputs then I could get it but the moveset and weapons don't really feel samey to me.
>>724340403>>724340403Knowing team ninja it's gonna be full of reused assets, will basically look like rotr and I played through the whole thing with shit performance so I can tank it since i'm acclimated
>>724339562Action game fags are all on the spectrum so they pick a team go out for blood for the slightest reason.
i was gonna shit on the game more because of the levels but after beating it and having this other content to pretty much skip it makes it better.every chapter before ryu was a fuckin slog
>>724339386You can just practice in the training room, I recommend it even because there is so much stuff.
>>724339562>I love this game alongside other franchises, dont see why you older NG fans complain about it
I'm enjoying it but it does feel like I'm spamming the izuna drop alot and their dosen't feel like a good reason to even use the spear.
>>724340403People should be ready after how Stranger of Paradise's launch went.
>>724340012Worst caelse scenario, just play it and wair for the DLC threads
>>724340869you can play it however you want as long as you have fun
>>724338846i wouldn't call yakumo's moveset samey. it's just designed differently. you use special inputs more rather than having canned strings to learn. air combos are also a lot better here
>>724340869drill light attack zooms in from very far away and you can combo off it. feels like stinger into million stabsjumping with the drill out is a launcher too
Isn't it crazy how there are basically only 3 action hack and slash games? DMC, Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden? Is there ever going to be a new IP?
>>724333672I actually find her english VA cute and quite fitting with her smug but proper personality.In the end nothing was explained why she wears the ropes?
>>724341182Wonderful 101:
>>724340869most of the weapons are just there and function the same.i thought the staff would be good aoe crowd control and its actually the boxthe box and basic/dragon sword are the only weapons you need
>>724340778That's what I'm doing but no diceIt's pretty much just this mob it unnerves me
>>724341254Same, hot outfit and fun personality that plays with Yakumo's
>>724341254They're for seducing raven ninjas into doing your bidding, pretty simple
>no steam points shopi wanted a yakumo and ryu background......
>>724340869weapon swapping in this is weird. you are really only swapping weapons for a particular move and then swapping outbut the game locks you into them so hard you cant really swap in and out leisurely
>>724338846>Drab and sameyDisagree in isolation, but I do prefer the globetrotting of 2 and 3, for sure. I actually think 4 is really diverse visually considering that it takes place in a very small region. How many games that take place in a city have this much variety?But yeah, if they do a sequel I want more variation.>BossesNot the best in the world but I can't agree at all that Nioh would be a step up. Easily the best roster in the series and my favorite fight in the series overall is from 4 too. If you'd agree with this, it feels weird to put it in a list of issues with the game. The bosses are a positive, even if not the best bosses around.>RyuAgreed on the bosses being repeated mostly, that was disappointing. Don't mind the rest, irrelevant to the game's quality. If DMC4 was Nero only it would be a better game, not a worse one, even if I don't like Nero and do like Dante.He IS kind of like a Sigma girl, but it's without a doubt the best playing Sigma girl in the series, about to get better with DLC bringing more gear too. I roll my eyes in the girl chapters in the previous games, I don't roll my eyes with Ryu.>Yakumo's movelistIs he talking about the inputs? Then yeah, they're all standardized. Function-wise I find it pretty varied. Also like that the charged input in BR form is different between weapons, wasn't expecting that. I rather like the exceed hammer.2 had a lot of strings but most of them useless. The game was too unrelenting for you to be playing around with bullshit, you focused on the few moves and strings that mattered for each weapon and spammed them between i-frame windows. That was the game. And it was great, but don't make it bigger than it was.>Stuff removedSimilar deal, moveset bloat doesn't matter as much as how much of it is useful. Even in NG4's reduced movelist there are a few worthless moves and strings too. The strength of dial-a-combo systems is being able to give each string a defined function (cont.)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH
Damn it's gonna soon be a week since ng4 released, time flew fast. Haven't spent so much time playing a game since forever
>>724341984>How many games that take place in a city have this much variety?NGB?
sorry bros but i can't stand how much you're magnetized to your target like arkham. platinum didn't do this with bayonetta, why is it in this game?
shit's laggy after a "long" session
Why did they do it?
She looks like some kind of gacha-collab design of Motoko Kusanagi, with nothing resembling Ayane
>>724338846(cont.) but when what you want out of the weapons is to do one specific thing, that means most of them are worthless. Launch enemy, juggle with shuriken, wind run, flying swallow. You can do that right away and it's way better than that stupidly long string that ends in a juggle flying swallow you unlock with the TDS near the end. It DEFINITELY suffered from string bloat. Still a decent combo path in 4 too, webm related.>Enemy varietyHaving unique enemies for each location being listed as a negative is genuinely insane. This part is making me question if I should be taking this seriously and replying to each point in the first place. This is just to make the list longer. This is a GREAT thing, not just a good one. And trials are there to mix and match beyond the locations and levels the enemies were designed for. The flying enemies people are always seething about showing up in areas you can GT them to their death is not a coincidence.>Walk and talkNever like those, don't like the usual Platinum "variety" sections either. Agree on those. MGR let you skip codec calls holding triangle, wish they'd make something similar for 4. They're not too prevalent for the game's length, but that doesn't make them good either.>TargetingI think he's being too nice on this aspect in particular, I think it's worse than decent. The soft lock is worse than previous games, and the hard lock doesn't override the poor tracking in moves that auto track like UTs and wind run. It's genuinely unacceptable that, while hard-locked, my character can target someone else to wind run or UT. This should NOT happen and is an objective problem with the game. The softlocking itself can remain poor if they fix hard lock.>AyaneDon't care much about that part so no comment, valid I guess.>Closing remarksFeels like he's comparing it to a distant memory of the old games instead of a fresh playthrough if he wants 4 mechanics backported to levels like Heart of Darkness.
Chapter 8 would've been a good place to be able to play as Ryu for two flashback missions and then end it where chapter 7 left off.
>>724331359Because the face is covered. DOA6 had weird faces and really bad lighting.
>>724341182Out of those only one sells and apparently not enough to get a 6th game, so I don't think there will ever be a new IP.
>>724341254I think they are some sort of physical seal on the Dark Dragon. Not sure how exactly that works.
>>724341984>>724342508Nice to seem some good posts once in a while.
>>724342291Kureha 2.0
>>724338846Disagree on all but the Ryu part, even then he's a lot of fun to play, but sadly his stages are just phoned in. Also Ayane's appearance in this game is less token than NG2 or 3 in my opinion. She's keeping an eye on Yakumo for Ryu, something I'd definitely be wondering about otherwise.
>>724342929>apparently not enough to get a 6th gameBy any other companies standards, except other megajews like EA, DMC did more than well enough and would've already gotten something. It's just that crapcom's standards are completely warped by RE and Monster Hunter's sales.
>>724342143Doesn't bother me as much because it's not arbitrary like a suck to target property to your attacks. If you press X with no enemies around during exploration you do the large steps too. It's consistent and predictable.The rapier is the one weapon that goes a bit too far with it, but for the most part it's not the worst. Sometimes a twin blades X is not enough to hit the enemy after a wind path even and you'll whiff.But not entirely sure why they felt the need to add it in the first place either. Would love an in depth interview now that the game is out to go into mechanics and level design.
>>724326678You're brown
>>724338846I dont mind the game looking samey. The wet slick look combined with the amount of blood is a really good aestheic. I'm glad a western dev team took a risk and made something chunibyo
>>724342929I don't want another DMC game. Capcom started becoming Crapcom again the moment they had a slight comeback.
I am so sick and fucking tired of my attacks just randomly deciding to hit empty air. Fuck I hate this game so goddman much. Every fucking enemy is designed to turn it into a slog. oh you have the big fat poison spewer all alone and you want to UT it? tough luck, get fucked. oh you hate ranged spamming niggers, here have some more upgraded ones that have hp out the ass and also randomly decide to block and dodge your ass. This entire game is designed to fuck you over for trying anything to actually have fun.
>>724343738If another game comes it will just be an MGSD style remake of 1 or 3. Where they absolutley nothing new and thus, don't justify a purchase from the fans.
>>724326485This desgin screams "fuck you" to cosplayers.
>>724343890ng2 or ng4?
>>724343738They wanted Itsuno to make DMC6 so badly he left the company. They'll find someone else to fill in his shoes.
>>724344106Nah, women only cosplay to be cute whores, that design has a pretty open back so women will flock to it.
>>724343890oh no, challenging situations that don't have an obvious answer, how awful.
>>724343890I ger pissed off at the game for not letting me do my combo string with the hyper agressive enemies but then I cool off and appreciate it as makes me play more mobile and versitle to compensate.
Getting D rank in 4 hurts more than getting Ninja Dog rank in the older games.
I DON'T WANT TO BE FISHING FOR FISHI JUST WANT TO LET THEM FREELY SWIMI DON'T WANT TO BE FISHING FOR FISHI JUST WANT TO LET THEM FREELY SWIM
>>724337591The one Wii game they won't port for some reason...
>>724342143Agreed, I can't stand how it feels so I dropped the game already. Only managed to get to Chapter 6 or so, I hate that feeling of pressing X and your character sliding across the room to magnetize to an enemy. Also the auto targeting in general fucking sucks in this game, flying swallow just does not want to target those faggot kite enemies. I hate how they removed NG hallmarks like on landing attacks (not landing UT), combos that have inputs like XX -> XY or XX -> XY combos, and the "progression" is totally unnecessary, why even bother adding that?? IMO the game fucking sucks
>>724338846Some of this is true but you'd find the equivalent in every other games and not just NG. I wouldn't say black's ice level and fire level and sewer level woooah imaginative either. I don't think restructuring the movelist that much of a problem even if I badly miss one or 2 hidden or complex string.Forced traversal is less of a problem for me than the lame metroidvania stuff from black or the boring corridors of nothingness from Sigma 2 or the lame QTEs from 3RE. It's funny that every games has it's own thing regarding traversal though.The gamefeel is definitely there for me and faithful to NG, which I find impressive considering it's not even the same dev or the same engine.For Ryu, I just hope the DLC is focused on him.
>>724326217is this game actually good
>>724345306Yes, extremely good.
>>724345306Better than 3.
>>724342143it's less sucking to target and more Yakumo being a bit too absurdly fast for our own good.>>724342508how did you cancel the first attack in the RB XY? that skipped directly to the launcher?? how?
>>724345306Better than I expected but could be amazing with some patches and if the DLC is good.
>>724345306Not at all, it's worth a pirate but do not spend money on it. It's pure platinum trash.
>>724329973>how does the poor guy even sit in thoseAnon...
>>724345306Yes.
>>724345419Enjoy paying money to unlock Ryu's weapons lmao
>>724336747>dude it's totally like ninja gaiden if you ignore most of the game!!!>i'm having a blast!!! it's a return to form!!! lmao>>724336997Itagaki decides what is ninja gaidenthe washed up unemployable has beens at platinium do not
>>724345306Fuck no
>>724345576>Itagaki decides what is ninja gaideni dont think thats possible anymore anon...
>>724336747>>perfect block>you need skill to pull offLmao not at all, I constantly accidentally do it all the time without meaning to. If anything NG4 made it way too fucking easy to avoid damage with five hundred different ways to parry and a perfect dodge on top of all that.
>>724345576>Itagaki decides what is ninja gaidenNo he doesn't.
>>724343890>my attacks just randomly deciding to hit empty air.But I heard that NG4 is full of banham tier magnetism? Has /v/ lied to me?
>>724343738I've never liked the RE Engine Resident Evil games so I see where you're coming from, but I'm excited for Pragmata and Onimusha, we'll see.
>>724345413NTA but the dodge offset skill allows you to do that, X - Dodge Offset - Bloodraven Y in this case
>>724335735If I wanted to get a Ayane figure, I rather want one with her wearing the Sigma 2 outfit. That is literally her best outfit.
>>724326217Nah, you don't play as the eye candy anon.
>>724345520I'm pirating than buying on sale.
>>724345682then NG is finished. wrap it up and bury it with the king of crazy j-slash action
>>724344106like this is going to stop them from puttin on a purple wig wearing a bikini from the volleyball game and sayin they are ayane anyway
>>724342929>>724341182yeah this is the reason why older action games like dmc3 and ng2 gets so many cultists because there aren't any fucking games and when the new one is different than the one they spent 1k hours in they throw a fit
>>724345834he didnt even create the IP to begin with. whos to say someone else cant do what he did?
>>724345751Huh I'll give it try, thanks
>>724345751huh, are you just doing normal attacks, dodging into a blood attack and it counts towards the blood combo?
>>724345229Kite enemies are great, I miss them. Hope I see them again before NG+.
>>724345306Yes, if just for the songs with vocals.
>>724345954he perfected it. NGB is the peak of the hack and slay genreNG2 is a close secondDMC3 is a distant third.the rest don't matter. maybe god hand is 4th or something
>>724345989Yeah, as long as you hold block while you input the blood attack. Need to have the skill unlocked, but with how generous this game is with money, I assume anyone past chapter 3 or 4 will have all the skills anyway.
NG is manlet propaganda.
Should’ve been a scene where ayane got wet or slimed or something. Her costume makes sense only to my dick
>>724345751>>724345969>>724345989Being able to dodge offset into Bloodraven gives Yakumo a crazy skill ceiling. It's incredibly strong.
>>724345576>Itagaki decides what is ninja gaidenWhat, the guy who directed three (3) Ninja Gaidens from more than a dozen total?At this point there have even been more 3D NGs without him than with him.The franchise is close to 40 years old and Itagaki was only working on it for 4 years.
>>724346271>>724346130thats good to know because his blood attacks are so fuckin slow on some of his weapons
>>724346279Uhmm chud you can't say that.
>>724346279nobody cares about the NES games or the arcade game. if you do you are a soilennial or a boomer and should kys asap>playing the same 8bit trash for 50 years because muh speedroooon
>>724346173First Japanese game?
>>724343890Agreed, the enemies are too spongey and the tracking of some of your attacks is pretty bad. Not big on the bloodraven/gleam form gimmick to deal with everything. It's funny people saying you're magnetized when it's only really for OTs. When you play the combat trials or the purgs you'll see how often you whiff, how many enemies will sometimes block UT when it's not that clear what the rules are for when they can do it, how much of a bother flying enemies are, etc.
>>724346093NG4 is better
>>724346336You can also do it to keep your string during OTs like the webm the other anon posted and even to finish your air combo on the ground after getting parried, like in this one.
>>724346482platinum slop isn't better than anything lil bro. take your estrogen and sybau
>>724346427>nobody cares about the NES games or the arcade gameItagaki did.
>>724346547
>>724341182There used to be plenty. Modern "hack and slash" games are simply incorporated into "bigger" more "inclusive" structures with open worlds and RPG lite elements. See: GoY, NuGow, stranger of paradise, Final Fantasy XVI, Nioh etc.
>>724346651nice picture of yourself. looking as washed and pathetic as platinum staff
>>724346670Yeah so they're not action game, cool.
Incredible game. They managed to make the second best Ninja Gaiden game after Ninja Gaiden Black. I hope Microsoft's deal with them to put it on Goy Pass made it profitable and gives us more NG.
>>724346670Problem is that it requires even more money to do those. Not only they're worse (subjectively speaking) but it made it even harder for the lower budget ones to exist. I wonder if Darksiders 4 will get criticized for being too small while also being so big compared to the others that it'll hurt replayability.
>>724346712>no uIt's so common, I gotta wonder why the fervent haters of this game are so botlike. Can't even make their own insults.
>>724346850Goypass kills your game. Unless they already broke even before release this was likely a huge financial hit and probably the end of platinum.
I love Major Kusanagi Makoto so fucking much
>>724346482Agreed honestly.Although god hand is just a special beast too.
>>724347032MS funded the game entirely. It's probably the first thing they ever spent money on that wasn't a waste
Anyone played that Blades of Fire game? I thought the demo was good and I really like the Lords of Shadow games too (except the 3DS one, didn't play it)
>>724343497Brown/black dicks grew longer as brown/black butts grew larger. It's an evolutionary arms race.
>>724326217Just wait for the new DoA game.
is the final boss in phantom form just ryu bossfight rehashed or what?
>>724326217We need her get GameCube spin off
>>724332074MMmmm, A nice yummy mummy who wants me to spunk in her tummy.
>>724345306It's a fun decent action game, a bad videogame overall, and an awful ninja gaiden
>>724345227it's because they don't own it. Sega does and they didn't care about the game because it flopped, I mean for real not in the way /v/ uses the term nowadays. Very few of the OGs who made it are left at Plat too so there's no one to push for a rerelease.
>>724347296>wait for the new DoA game.Venus Vacation 2 of course.Assuming they stop being fucking RETARDS and actually add the girls everyone wanted instead of these literally whos
He's so cool...
>>724326217>games from a decade ago randomly had ayane DLC for freeit was a better time.
Just beat chapter 7 boss. Why are the bosses piss easy compared to normal enemies? Dont get me wrong as far as ninja gaiden goes, these are the best bosses out of all the games, but damn does it feel like a crowd of enemies is harder to kill.
>>724339575What if bewitched kunoichi O-Tama was playable
>>724345306vast majority of those that played it seem to think so
Commissioning futa Seori art.
>>724347997easier to keep track of and exploit honestly.
yay, got my first SSS. hopefully many more to go>>724347997really? doesn't feel like this at all to me. But if you're completely surrounded, you usually have berserk ready pretty fast and then you just insta kill everything.
>>724347997Honestly the chapter 7 boss is one of the few bosses I struggled with, I thought the tank was easier honestly.
>>724347997Combat is clearly balanced around managing crowds of enemies. Bosses work well in the system too but you can kinda bully them without letting your offense up.
>>724345306Right now it's my potential GOTY. Maybe it will be my definitive GOTY as I play more and get on to Master Ninja.
>>724348059>futa
Guys, I think this game has cured my depression. I haven't had this in decades, I wake up and just want to play ninja gaiden 4. Already on my second playthrough and learning the gleam cancel for Ryu. I can't stop playing the game, I didn't have this in forever, I thought I could never feel like this again...
>>724348461The dog/bird one? im gonna be honest anon. this thing is just parry bait combined with UT spam bait. Maybe there is a special way to counter its flying attack but i havent found it yet
>>724348856I know but I sucked at that boss compared to the other bosses.
>>724348750Glad to hear it bro. The game is truly something special. I've put so many hours into it already and I still can't get enough of how smooth and cool everything feels.
>>724348750Me too bro, me too. It's been so long since a game like this that I had forgotten the feeling of playing a new release THIS fun. I'm also on my 2nd playthrough now, on hard. Just got to Kagachi. Gonna play Master Ninja, and then do Chapter challenge the entire game focusing on one weapon exclusively for each weapon.
>>724326217should have been her turn not edgemclord
>>724348750I know how you feel. As stupid as it sounds, it's jolted me out of my depression slightly, enough to eat more than one meal a day and begin becoming fit again. It might be Yakamo's energy rubbing off, who knows.
>>724327998>woman char designerthe kpopstar gay protag makes a lot of sense now
how do i convert ninja coins i already have to exp other than the talisman?
Will they make the pre-order costume available as DLC some time?
Yakumian Kinography
>>724349550Since the publisher is Microsoft, yea. That's how they do it for forza and their other games too. Might take a month though.
>>724349645Okay... I like the game too much so I'm gonna buy it since I didn't receive a code for it with my pre-order.
>>724349626kino
>>724349217Keep at it, pain will always come and go. We just need to keep moving.
where do i change my fuckin costume
Being able to see this gate in the distance several times in the level but having no idea when I will actually be allowed to access it is such annoying level design. Having to wonder every 2 minutes "I saw it again but there was no way to it, do I keep going and assume I will get there later or have I already missed it". It's the most annoying thing a game can do to me.
>>724350321you can clearly see the path leading to it behind it...
>you can delimb and finish off dogsi take everything back, this game is top 3 ng games of all time
The worst thing about ng4 is the fact that when i go play some other action game, its going to pale in comparison. Even though i enjoyed 1 and 2 more than 4 so far. It is still leagues upon leagues better than the rest of the group.
>>724350507Do you see the way to get to that path?
Alright, can a veteran tell me if there is any way to consistently hitstun Fiends in NG2? It seems completely random if you can get in a combo or not
>>724351052Play beat em ups or other arcade games then. I already gave up on modern AAA gaming.
>>724345576Itagaki is dead and I spit on his grave.Screw that tactless bastard with an attitude.
>>724351484that's rude
trial 15 no items was harder than the entire master ninja story run with yakumo
>>724333335That's hot. Even Seori always teased him.
>>724348750me too actually, i have not given a fuck about anything in years as much as killing daemons
>>724351530Itagaki was a rude fucktard so he deserves it. Don't shittalk and die like some loser if you don't want to be shittalked back.
Not a big fan of the overreliance of armour. Enemies reapply armour so much that you're never going to have enough meter and damage to deal with everyone. Forced me into spamming essence UTs for every lategame encounter with big/armoured enemies. Some arenas and Purgatory trials are basically impossible if you don't chain UTs. Good luck dealing with three pot enemies and also smaller enemies while the spawn list will bring in more small ones if you think about killing them first.Fuck trying to go for rankings in this game.
im still not used to not being able to animation cancel a lot of shit to dodge and parry and end up eating more attacks i shouldn't be because of dogshit hitboxes and things hard to be telegraphed
>>724351805The only people he ever shit talked deserved it.
>>724351985if you break the armor with a bloodbind attack they're stunned for the following combo
>>724352196anon, please read the post before replying, i beg you
Whoever designed the pot enemies should be izuna dropped off mount fuji
>>724346670I kinda wish one of those would come out with a Souls-ish structure but more traditional hack and slash combat, with a Bloody Palace/survival mode if you just wanna get right into it. Ultimately I do think the RPG/adventure elements make games like this more popular but the combat doesn't have to be boring slow 1v1 stamina bar shit to gain mainstream success.
>>724352543The only problem would be burn out. The traditional action fags want to it be short and soulsshitters wouldn't like it
>>724352240you should more than make back any blood you spent by doing one bloodbind and then a normal combo, meaning this> Enemies reapply armour so much that you're never going to have enough meter is wrong
you'll get a shit character replacing the main character of a franchise and you will support it like the drone you are
>>724352743Take your meds retard
You just know Yokumo is a one off next game will either star Ryu again or Ayane.
>>724350291>press start>move the cursor down>"appereance"
>>724352743
>>724352543Honestly that would basically be my dream game, Dragons Dogma comes pretty close but it has no real combo system or anything.
>>724352805I just hope there is a next game
As long as Ayane has costumes(including her classic,NG2 and NG3RE)
On chapter select does anyone know what the green “encounter” thing means when it shows the collectibles? Specifically looking at Chapter 12. Also can you clear missions you missed initially from chapter select? I just tried to do the Malhere one in chapter 10, pretty sure it was the area you have to quickly grapple to while you’re surfing but it didn’t update my mission at all or even show the mission screen that pops up.
>>724352682>is wrongInstall the game first before you type, retard.
>>724353043No he's not wrong, you really shouldn't ever be running out of Bloodraven if you're just sniping enemies out of armor with it. The full combo you get on them is basically a free refill.
>>724352841what menu where what the fuck
>>724353163>The full combo you get on them is basically a free refill.Now do that in a room with 15 enemies
FUCK THESE FUCKING WORM FAGGOTS WITH THE ANNOYING ASS ADDS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>724341987I was hoping hard for him tied to the weapon.
>>724353243You build Bloodraven even faster with more enemies.
>fighting Ryu at the end>hitting him until he drops essence>mytimetoshine.wav>he charges his UT, grab the essence and go to town on my assHolly shit so this is how enemies feel. Also it is funny how you can perfect perfect block his attacks and he still can hit you if you're too slow. He doesn't fuck around.

>>724353367The egregious arenas don't give room to do any of that anon.
>>724353013It's the Onikawa guy. Dunno about the second question.
>>724353795Mhm, I dunno man, it's just not something I struggled with much. Only in trials did I need to resort to UT spam. I will say if you're constantly running out of bloodraven, try to open enemies up without using it. A helpful anon posted this last thread.
>>724351214>>724352350I am inclined to agree.>>724351985Game is hard. Good.
>>724354341>Only in trials did I need to resort to UT spamThis is exactly what I'm talking about though.Even other areas like the Chapter 6 mission with three armored daemon onis. What's that? They all reapply armor when you want to combo them?What that? There's three armored samurai's in the room and two of them are shooting missiles at you?
>>724354341I still dont get how he just flying swallows from neutral there
>>724354531>Game is hard.>Posts webm dealing with elite enemies using a crutch.
>>724326217Is there a mod to get rid of that jacket yet?
>>724326217We need plapable Ayane
Any key resellers actually have the game for a better price than the shitshow that it is on steam right now?
>>724346279Logic Bomb
No idea how I beat the shark niggaWhat was the epic gotcha to evade his grab? ate that every single time
Kek that's funny, the courtesant boss has those lantern yokai enemies with her sometimes and they attack independently, in her phase 2. They can still attack you and potentially kill you even after you give her the final blow, just before the obliteration starts.
>constantly eat shit>not because I can't dodge or instant guard>but because I want to parry everything how do I fix my brain damage
>>724354674Well I had to fall back UT's in trials not because I couldn't get past their defense, it was because any single hit would kill me and the Tengu projectiles are relentless.
>>724347769If Prism was Japan only (internal ethics department preventing westoids playing it), a VV2 would be too.
>>724326407Is Yakumo's face in the files? What else has been datamined?
>>724353228Just pause the fucking game and its right there
>>724354942You can jump over the grab, although I find it hard to react to since the startup looks like his arm sweeps. It's not like jobchilles grab where the animation is super obvious.
>>724354942>What was the epic gotcha to evade his grabLiyerally just get into the air, not with jump but a launcher. Or just jump back
>>724329973He's pretty much Batman in this game. I don't mind it, can't be much worse than the latex suit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pykhQgYaTm0i wonder if schizos will shit on this and call it janky programming even though its literally shuriken animation cancelling
>>724347769How does Dead or Alive, and Ninja Gaiden take place in the same universe?NG feels like a weird fantasy setting, but D&A is more attempting to be like the real world, not realistic, but it's not making up nation states or turning Tokyo is cyberpunk hellscapes
>>724355802This video really shows how strong the suck to target is in this game
I fucking hate the back+forward+attack inputs. Previous games on had you do one directional input to what you're facing. Can this shit be changed?
>>724355929Because theres NG characters in DoA, but the universe is barely fleshed out in DoA, let alone the NG series
The way Yakumo's eyes widened after Ryu gave him the Evil Dark Dragon Blade and entrusted him with killing the Dark Dragon was the cutest scene in the game. Yakumo was having a shitty, stressful day at that point, and Ryu made it better. It's like meeting your hero, and your manages to exceed yor expectations. God, NG4 just makes me love Ryu more. What a guy...
>>724351214I still think NGB is the trinity along with DMC3 and God Hand. But it is the best modern action game.
>>724338846>liking it a bit less than 3REOpinion thrown into the trash and burned.Also, admitting that Ryu feels different to play and saying he's an afterthought is not compatible, it's one or the other. >wishing the souls-shittified TN has far more hands on the future titlesJesus Christ stop this man from speaking another word.
Please Kami-sama, make those nips work hard on the DLC, make the game closer to its full potential.....
>>724347769These girls are all at least 38 years old now btw. Everyone loves timeskips right
>>724356270Was the length of the timeskip confirmed?
>>724356329One of the archives says Ryu fought the black spider clan "several decades" ago. So at least 20 years. At least. Yes they really are that stupid.
>>724356448That's an easy retcon.
>>724354693you can flying swallow by flicking the direction and pressing triangle on every combo that doesnt end on izuna drop
>>724356562Does FS reset your combo? I think it's interesting that Yakumo did a combo before and after the 3rd FS.
How the FUCK do you beat the retarded lion with a jetpack? Its tornado shit keeps fucking me up.
>>724354942just watch for two hands going up and rolljump away. he has long recovery for it so its good for getting damage in
>>724356827just run across the arena if it tornadoes and wait for it to approach. if it's flying in the air don't fight, just wait for it to come to the ground.
Super Switch port
>>724356827keep applying pressure and he'll spawn way less
>>724356706what do you mean by "reset your combo"? like scorewise?
>>724356827When he summons the tornados just run to the opposite side of the arena
I think we can all agree that Razor's edge has the most complex movesets in the series right?
>>724356880Never ever
>>724356104I know they wanted to give the ending focus to Yakumo and his bond with Seori, but when he was getting choked by the Dark Dragon I really thought Ryu was gonna hop in and chop DD’s hand off so Yakumo could purify him.
>>724356980Yes
>>724356104He’s a cuck and Yakumo’s going to steal all his girls, Ayane was just the first.
>>724357180Ryu was absolutely watching from some corner with a shuriken in his hand ready to interrupt the shadow dude and then leave without taking credit. He has done this at least 2 times before in other games.
Ryu feels so good to play in 4 I'm crazy excited to see how they can make a new weapon that can match the feel of the DS
Friendship with Shurken Cancel is over.Now Gleam Cancel is my best friend.
>>724355802This is kino though.
>>724357329>Ryu stalks Yakumo the entire game to see if he's a jobber or not
Can you Flying Swallow out of the Divine Swallow string? I swear I had it happen a couple times, but now I can't get it at all. Maybe I remember totally wrong.
Oh Jesus there was another Oniwaka mission later in the game. I finally did all the trials. Now to clear MN and do all the mission and try to not get hit by lasers on chapter 12.
Just got the toolbox and beat Armored Core, but I don't think I get the weapon. It's very strong, it's not like I'm struggling to deal damage, but I find it boring. Any favorite strings/moves? Any videos of people using it nicely?
>>724357605the fuck is divine swallow brother
>>724357783>not get hit by lasers on chapter 12.If you get hit by one just reload checkpoint. It will still count.
>>724332469spears are for niohGODS only
>>724356827>Block through his only string and hit him with bloodraven when he glows red at the end.>If he flies up just go under him.>If there are too many tornadoes run away and wait for him>You can hit him for free when he's howlingPhase 2>Stick close to him, block through everything and be ready to slap him when he glows redHe's one of the easiest bosses since his moveset is the lest diverse and he spends a lot of time just kinda doing nothing while you can hit him
>>724328531The setting was gimped by having very little exploration early on. Honestly I feel the opening levels are a terrible opener to the game.
>>724338909>tfw ryu caught me mid air during a flying swallow and izuna dropped me
>>724341182Dante's InfernoMarlon BriggsThe list goes on and on
>>724326217Why does Ayane have a boob curtain? Why did they make this game so woke? Itagaki is rolling in his grave right now.
>>724358654yeah she should be just as exposed as ng1
Alright, I'm going to play the first three games with Master Collection starting from 1, give me some starting tips brehs
>>724341182>Is there ever going to be a new IP?Metal Gear Rising could have been its own sub-franchise if Konami wasn't retarded. It sold really well
>>724334182You never watched his sick ass cutscenes or played the NES games.
Ayane needs to double her cup size
>>724358802>starting tipsIt requires a novel's length description to play these games.
>>724358802Step 1. Don't play the master collection until 3 Razor's edgeStep 2. Get xemu and xenia working Step 3. Download the roms of Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden IIStep 4. Play NGBStep 5. Play NG2Step 6. Play 3RENow you can play sigma and sigma 2 for comparison's sake
>>724354942Simply do not let him play.Every boss with the exception of ryu and (Yourself) can be fully molested by mashing x and swapping in some raven stance specials.
>>724358802XYXXXYjump forward YUTon land UTGT
>>724358802Follow the blue path
>>724358802block when you're about to get hit rather than trying to roll slop
>>724359103Thanks, Ayane
>>724358802>starting from 1, give me some starting tips brehsRyu moves like a tank with lots of commitment and recovery frames, don't panic and try to mashBlocking is insanely strong in this game, while rolling is relatively weak compared to stuff like Bayo/DMC/SoulsHeavy attacks breaks enemies guardsUltimate Techniques are your strongest tools, they will instacharge from the essence enemies dropOn easy/normal Flying Swallow is also very strong, but enemies will start blocking it on higher difficulties
>>724358802Just ignore >>724359016 and you'll be fine.
>>724358654She's pretty much wearing only a swimsuit >>724326485.This is actually some of the most exposed she's been outside the volleyball games or scenes where she's been straight up naked.
>>724358740She was a kid in that. She's in her 30s now
>>724326217>>724326485Taimanin coded
Am I bad at the game if I rarely use UTs?
>>724359491Yes.NG4 has the most busted UTs since 2. you should in fact use them
>>724359491No. You're actually better than the average /v/irgin. UT are OP as fuck so if you can beat the game without spamming them, then you did in fact beat the game.
>>724357937The Divine Swallow String from 3RE in 4.
How do I flying swallow after Aerial Guillotine Throw?
>>724359491I finished the game in hard barely using. Im doing it more now that Im trying out MN, but Im focusing more on doing charged bloodraven attacks since it helps delimb even more enemies than the UTs, but its hard to do it without taking damage
>>724359491Purgatory made me feel as if i had to use UT repeatedly if I wanted to clear it so I don't think so
>>724359937Purgatory is just filled with annoying enemies so that's not a problem
I am playing as Rachel on Mission 14on Very Hard. I hate every fucking faggot that says they want a bitch playable in NG4. Rachel is fucking garbage in Sigma, holy FUCK.
>>724360174Rachel is the worst playable character in any NG game, the other bitches are better even if they're lesser Ryu
>>724359694shuriken throw while holding a direction then fs
>>724355564oh i had to restart my game to get the preorder code to work so that wasn't appearing.fuck you and thanks
is every mission almost 1 hour long?
>>724358494not him but blocking in this game feels bad especially when there are parries and witch time dodgessometimes its that easy huh
Chapter 5 molested me in ways I didn't know a video game could.Atleast I feel like I'm a lot better at the game after managing to struggle through it.
>>724360553Maybe on a first run when you are trying to find all the secrets and missions.Once you know the levels well you can go through them fairly comfortably at 20~ minutes
I absolutely hate how interacting with shrines doesn't auto save. Whoever designed it like this needs to be shot. I always have to either re-buy items/skills, turn in or accept missions again, or fight a small group of enemies at the start of each session. It's a small nitpick but surprisingly annoying.
>>724360736its not a small nitpick. I'm surprised that got past Q&A
>>724360736The fuck awful autosave and checkpoint system makes master ninja suck absolute cock, along with the constant radio chatter.This game was playtested for gamepass subscribers playing on hero mode.
>>724356980Why do people hate 3RE anyway? The combat is different but not bad outside of some enemies being kind of tanky, and it probably has the most straightforward and least gimmicky level design out of the trilogy, even with the QTEs. Was 3 vanilla just that bad people can't get over it?
>>724360736Enter and quit training mode through Tyran before closing the game, that will force a new checkpoint. It is really annoying yeah.
>>724360590Against bosses especially a very safe play is>hold block>transition to dodge spam after the 3rd or 4th hit to your guardWhenever you see an attack string you aren't super comfortable with the timing on parrying/deflecting.
>>724360991the radio chatter happening during the umbrella demon has absolutely got me FUCKED and notice how bad i hate itlets muffle everything so you cant hear sound queues, brilliant.
>>724361342Save your sanity. Turn the voice volume to 0. You WILL focus a lot clearer.
>>7243610652 big reasons I can think ofhow the health system worksand "it probably has the most straightforward and least gimmicky level design out of the trilogy"people like branching paths. just see how everyone praises ngb because of it, and how ng4 kinda brought it back somehow. its a good thingthat being said 3RE is still my favorite
