Even though he was a jobber, I enjoyed my fight with Kagachi from Ninja Gaiden 4. Also Misaki’s betrayal made no sense. Seori literally asked to be killed. Smh the writing in this game is ass.
Yeah, the writing was shit. The very first interaction between Yakumo and Seori made me disregard the entire thing.10/10 game.
Has KT released a game with a good story? Ever?
>>724934361Kagachi fight felt more like an duel than the fight against Ryu. Against Kagachi i felt like fighting some sort of rival, while against Ryu i felt like a kid trying to avoid a rapist uncle. But maybe that was on purpose...
>>724934361it was kino when he blocked BR attacks so he's excused
my theory is that in the original draft instead of misaki, seori was accompanied by tyran who then kills her. and it would had been tyran that seori gave the magatama so the epic fanservice ryu boss was actually gonna be tyran vs yakumo duking it out who gets to be the master ninja of raven clan wielding the dark dragon sword. no idea how ryu fits into this, maybe he had a separate mini campaign and they just shoehorned him into the main story because fans were freaking out over the sidelining.
>>724937592Nioh is fine, Dynasty Warriors 7 is kino.
>>724937883That makes sense since Tyran has a scythe in concept art.
Mission 16's Purgatory is psychotic.I was so relieved when I finish the third wave and then the game shows the wave number UI and increases it to four?Very few games ever made me feel that incredulity, despair but ultimately that FUCK YOU BRING IT.Playing on hard, don't think I'd be able to clear it if Ryu didn't charge Berserk mode so fast because I used it to clear the second wave and it was already full in the fourth.God bless this game.
>>724938761gleam is op in berserk mode, helped me tooalso, how do you activate ninpo as ryu, playing on keyboard and cant find the button...
>>724938998Berserk + Shuriken
>>724934361Was I supposed to read it as betrayal? It definitely came across to me more like him just doing what the situation was calling for even if MC wasn't a fan of the outcome.
>>724939671thank you gamer
>>724934361Wasn't this game a overwhelming flop?
>>724939814Nope. Kagachi was with the DDO and against the ressurrection of the ~dArK dRaGoN~ because it required the sacrifice of Seori.I still don't know why Ryu and Kagachi were so adamant about not sacrificing her.Ryu had already beaten the dork dragon three times and he kills people for a living. Why would one more bitch he barely knows give him so much hesitance?He would literally save millions, clear the skies from the toxic rain, decrease the amount of fiends and daemons and who knows what else in one easy task he already knew he was capable of doing.The writing is *really* trash.>>724939934So are you but that doesn't mean it isn't a great thing.
>>724939934Oh its a real floppy alright
>>724939934And?
>>724940442>I still don't know why Ryu and Kagachi were so adamant about not sacrificing her.Only Yakumo can kill the dark dragon permanently, even if the DDO and corpse curse sucked it was still better than the alternative. If Yakumo had failed Seori would have died for nothing had the seals and dark dragon's soul would have returned, Ryu could probably temporary kill it like usual but it would just mean leaving the world in a worse state than before.
>>724934361>Also Misaki’s betrayal made no sense.Can't betray if he never was your ally. Also, Yakumo grew attached to Seori and couldn't go through the sacrifice.
>>724934361He was never on your side, he just assumed he’d kill you quick and eat the dragon, guys a egotistical fuck like any the fiends shown in the series, Ryu tore him apart easy and he still thought he’d be able to beat your ass knowing damn well he isn’t as all powerful as he thought
>>72493436110/10 game overall and I'm gonna be playing for hundreds of hours still. Obviously the story was disappointing in terms of what it actually toldBUT:more than that i'm disappointed in how pussies the characters turned out to be. Like the characters (in gameplay) are psychotic ninjas beheading enemies once per second, but then get le emotional over a bitch you met a week ago who herself wanted to get killed? where are all the unethical ninja traps, betrayals, scheming and assasinations? why is the atmosphere of the story so pussy, why even do a M-rated game if your story lacks balls this hard?I'm not saying you need to do mortal kombat gore or sadism, just some sick, cold japanese ninja tricks that would catch you off-guard time to time to keep the story/pacing unpredictable.the story lacked charm like that. it's soulless shonen slop for teens.
>bwhahahahaha! I am not actually LITERALLY WHO>I am really LITERALLY WHOOOOOOOO>*dies*
>>724943142But she cute. Who cares about the tousands of other faceless faggots you kill per chapter lolBut yeah agreed, that kind of sucks. Japs have a very hard time actually being edgy for vidya
Did you guys like the boss fights? I liked the combat system as a whole but the bosses weren't very interesting
>>724943978They were ok, none of them were offensively bad like old NG games, but DMC is still the peak of the genre in that regard
Kagachi was cool, but he felt kind of pointless. He fufills the exact same function in the story that Ryu does. He could have basically not been in the game and everything would play out the exakt same way
I'll give 100$ to the first nigga who answers me why are the 4 fiends/yokai doing all that shit and no one has stopped them.
>>724943978Yes, miles better than the older ones
>>724943978Bosses were never good in ng games but atleast its not as annoying as previous title
>>724945676they are le evilWhere's my 100$?
>>724945676they protect the seals so 's cool
>>724943978Yeah most of them.Still some of that sucks.Ryu and Dark Dragon Phantom are amazing.
>>724946030They weren't protecting the seals before Ryu wrecked and Seori pimped them.
What the fuck is Ryu supposed to do against the flying enemies? Phoenix ninpo? It was already trash with Yakumo but he at least had bloodraven projectiles.Ryu is so lacking.
>>724946758Flying swallowGuillotine ThrowWind Blades, Inferno, Piercing Void
I think I'm gonna beat all the trials and be done with the game, don't really feel like going through the padding of the main story again on master ninja
>>724947390I'm taking a break and coming back for the DLC, I've been playing nonstop since launch and burnt myself out a bit
When did pic rel...
>>724947773...became that?
>>724947832he grew up in hell
trying to emulate NGB and NGII on linux, the former works well out the box but the latter is a bit funky. at first the character models wouldn't move except for their eyes and equipment, but I just had to toggle a flag in the settings to get it to work. but the other problem is that it freezes every few minutes and I have to alt+f4, which compared to the first issue doesn't seem to be a thing at all when I look it up on google.anyone tried running these before? also is there a way to get master ninja from the get-go for both games?
>>724947390>secret onikawa ng+ encounter on master ninjaman this sucks... man
>>724947390it's not that bad except for 4 chapters but you still need to do side missions if it's your first NG+
so...where's that review that will kill ng4
>>724939814I took the dark music and evil look on his face and the sinister laugh that followed to imply he thought he was betraying everyone, even if he did what they were already gonna do. He also seems to get off a bit when the dark dragon starts coming back.
>>724949372Huh? NG players really are retarded.
>>724946758If you're talking about the niggas who stay high while shooting you, you can bring them down with just your shurikens, they're pretty weak
>>724945007>He could have basically not been in the game and everything would play out the exakt same wayYou can say that for every single character except Yakumo and Seori. I don't know who looked at Ninja Gaiden and said:>You know what this needs? A half dozen ancillary characters that yelp mostly pointless information to player all the time.>And make sure they repeat the same dialogue during boss fights that we know the player is going to lose continuously.But fuck them. I had to straight up turn dialogue volume off during the dog boss fight.
>>724949774I turned it off for Kagachi, should've been a one time thing. Only when you enter the boss area normally not from resetting the battle
>>724948991the reviewer got stuck on the last boss on normal so its been delayed
>>724950987his bf can beat it for him, and write the scriptrecord all the footage, edit it, upload it and make 80 threads on /v/ shilling it
>>724943978They're all fine which is an achievement in this genre. There's some mediocre ones like the skeleton fish and tank but nothing that's terrible to the point of making me not want to replay the game.
Game would be a lot better if there were no slowdowns during the perfect dodge.
>>724951767There's a mod for it on nexusmods
>>724951796Damn, nice. Still I hope Platinum makes it at least an official option to turn it off.
Just remember that ng threads are the majority platinum/dmcucks now. These people also never beat any ng on mn, and they never played ngb or ng2.
>>724953737I'm a DMC and Platinumcuck and I grew up playing NG too because I was spoiled and owned both playstation and xbox, feel sorry for people who had to pick a side
>>724951402I believe it.
