In retrospect, NG2 was a massive downgrade in this game in every department. Even the combat became a cinematic takedown fest because Itagaki saw how popular God of War was
>>724704257ng2 sucks, I cleared MN and I still have no idea why someone would WANT to replay all the horrible segments in that game.
I didnt like that NG2 moved away from NG1s adventure game aspects.Same with DMC5.Just because it wasnt the main attraction doesnt mean it should be taken out.
>>724704412NG2 would've been an 11/10 if it had mission select.
>>724704257obliteration was just a natural evolution of the NG04 ground stab.
>>724704257Everything but the combat in NG Black is pretty terrible: the platforming, the ""puzzles"", the constant pointless backtracking, not to mention the camera. Even the combat doesn't really have any interesting encounter design or memorable gameplay setpieces, it's just all waves of copy-pasted goons that you deal with by spamming one of a small handful of moves/techniques that are actually viable out of the 100+ available moves, 95% of which are utterly pointless.>>724704468Itagaki wasn't even involved in the latter half of NG2 development. The game is an unbalanced, unfun bullshit mess on MNM and even the most hardcore NG fans acknowledge that.
>>724704412>I still have no idea why someone would WANT to replaya dick shun to Gay Ming is absolutely real>>724704534while true, the camera doesn't need to be zooming in and out for every single OT unlike the ground stab. wastes time and ruins the flow of combat.
>>724704257Reminder Sigma is a massive improvement across the board, and people just blindly hate it without knowing why because they are drones that want to fit in.
>>724704257NGB aged like shit, clunky controls, most enemies are unfun dogshit to fight, all bosses are utter dogshit, endless backtracking through samey city streets, dogshit platforming sections, DOGSHIT underwater sectionsNG2 and Sigma 2 are the only good games in the series (Sigma 2 is overhated by NPC's)
