Ninja Gaiden 2 is high literacy difficulty. You need to have a very high IQ to understand the game.
Mork's retarded mental gymnastics is what convinced me NG4 is actually good
>>728919123We had this thread already.
>>728919123What's "high literacy difficulty"? What makes it different from just "high difficulty"?
you need 130IQ minimum to cram yourself into a cubby
>>728919359Only smart people can adapt to Ninja Gaiden 2. Kirby Planet Robobot is the only game with a higher literacy requirement to comprehend its difficulty.
We need to be better gamers.

I really do not like Electric Underground from the brief clips I've seen of him.He reminds me of a dark mirror of myself back when I was in college and was much more autistic about shmups and shit. Just a total tunnel-visioned autist who always feels like he's on the verge of exploding into nerd rage when talking about anything that's not within his milieu.
>>728919725He is likely genuinely autistic because he cannot fathom games as art outside gameplay
Ryu Hayabusa says "Play Ninja Gaiden: Black and have a Merry Christmas. And remember kids, don't fall for the e-celeb bait threads!"
>hold down Y>watch Ryu do an in invincible cutscene attackSo high IQ, so much density...
>>728919123Whatever helps you sleep at night buddy
>>728919123He said he cleared mnm three times for video. Once on xenia, 360, and one. Sure thing buddy.
>>728919123
>>728920048thank you Ryu
>>728921149Still refuses to stream it btw. Curious.
>>728921149Why no stream?
>>728921979itd be impossible to stream a game like ng2 on MN and meaningfully interact with a chat.
>>728922428Mork...
>>728921149I mean he did a DDP 2ALL clear, coudn't be harder than that
>>728921149basedHe's probably way better than everyone else at it and just doesn't want to upstage anyoneI can respect him not streaming it or showing it off
>>728921149>Mork clearing NG2 MNDid he really though? I can't imagine him finishing warrior. Everytime he talks about NG2, he uses other people's footage and sounds like he's never played it. At least Combat Overview livestreamed his NG2 MN playthrough.
Mork is so good at fighting games he could btfo every current pro, but is also such a gentleman that he never reveals his full power because he politely never enters tournaments

>>728923662This.
I really hope the Two Masters DLC introduce new accessories that are more useful to boss fight. In my opinion, about 80% of the options are only useful in regular gameplay.Also, we need more accessories like the pipes that sacrifice one gameplay element for a advantage. Like sacrificing obliteration for unlimited guards or something like that.>>728924161>>728923889>People have different opinionsWhat a shock.
>>728919123His ng4 and ng2 videos outted him as someone who has no idea what he's talking about.
>>728926696Any 3D action game he has no idea what he's talking about
>>728926769Maybe that's why he still hasn't dropped a dmc3 review despite referencing it so often.
>>728926848I could've sworn he did one, it was him going on for like 5 minutes about how the royalguard has super armour
>>728926867He brings it up frequently and goes on tangents but that's about it.
I would admit it to be a good game if only you could practice against a dummy
Where did "Mork" come from, I don't understand this meme
>>728927052>guy is actually named mark>there was an old shitty tv show called mork and mindy>?????>this youtuber is called mork nowI dunno honestly
>>728927052 It started as a typo when someone was flaming Mark after he dropped that messy NG2 “analysis” video, and some anon called him “Mork” by accident. Of course /v/ being /v/, it stuck like glue. Now he’s forever known as Mork, the theoretical god gamer who’s never played a real game without 40 mods and a YouTube script explaining what a skill issue is.
Quick non-exhaustive list of Morks achievements>greatest fighting game player of all time with expert master of Virtua Fighter, Tekken and Third Strike>second greatest arcade player of all time with multiple WRs and 1ccs in even the toughest of Cave games, he's only the second greatest because he learns so much from Iconoclast>extreme knowledge of literature and deep analysis he uses to expose horrible design
>>728927052synthricardo or one of his folks created it to mock Mork. (it works!)
>>728927760>synthricardoAnd where are the Strikers replays? It's been 6 years...
>>728927052Classic /v/ condescension flavor, for some reason. Same reason Mike Kobe is called Moike Koibe
>>728927923That's literally what Mike "Full Drunken Punch on Yoshesque" Kobe calls himself
>>728927675and where are your gregga and doj clears replays sister?
>>728928269Huh? I was just saying how great it is to see an actually good player for onceNot to mention Mork himself has btfo Garegga
>>728927973Did he really punch her?

>>728931525What did he mean by this?
I just beat 4. It's fun, I'll probably get the DLC. The Dark Dragon sword kinda sucks though.
>>728933029You mean SUCC to target?
Anyone defending ninja reddit 4 legitimately deserves to be hung. Ninja Gaiden as a franchise (under Itagaki) is such a massive pioneer and marvel that it's not even funny, it was literally a fighting game developer deciding that they want to make a singleplayer game using everything they had from DoA as a base, and to this day nothing else plays like what Itagaki made. Not only was it a technical juggernaut on the OG xbox that looks a generation ahead of its release (just like NG2 would do eventually) the animations are still so much better than anything else that even the fourth entry in the supposed same franchise can't match up to them. It's bafflng how high quality everything is and what a technical marvel the animations and the transitions between them are whereas something like ninja reddit 4 is just pure amateurish jank shit that can barely even handle the basic wallrunning on different surfaces, let alone snapping into obliterationsninja reddit removed everything that made NG play the way it did. Gone are the different movement states from 3d fighters that affect your strings, strings have been gutted in general and replaced with generic DmC:DMC stinger inputs, the role of spacing, neutral and footsies is completely gutted and the entire combat now boils down to mashing lights and reacting to attacks with either a perfect dodge into invulnerable attack or the red button attack into a guaranteed punish window. Animations are shit, music is shit, graphics are shit, runs like shit, plays like shit, made by retarded amateurs and still asks for almost double the price that NGB did back in the day, with goysloppa deluxe edition shit slapped on top that will get quietly cancelled now that just 40 people bought their trash
>>728919123>MUH SURFACE AREA>MUH LITERACY>MUH ROUTING>MUH POSITIONING>OF COURSE, SPIKE OUT>THINKS KARMA IS ESSENCE >FLAILS CHAPTER 1>HATES UTS/OTS THINKS THEY'RE CHEAP>SEES NO PROBLEM WITH LOOPING LILITH>SEES NO PROBLEM IN SPAMMING THE SAME 3 COMBOS OVER N OVER>SEES NO PROBLEM WITH SPAMMING NINPO ALL BECAUSE ITAGAKI REFERED TO IT AS A 'BOMB'>DOESNT KNOW THE NAMES OF THE BOSSES>COMPARING FRAME DATA OF GRABS PER GAMEHe has outed himself severely here..... and of course his comments are nothing but other video game poser hipsters eating this slop right up.There are too many things in this video that he is either being retarded about or is just plain wrong and this whole video is so beyond shit and gay and has ruined my day
>>728937812Basically at least half of what you said was just mentally ill retardation and clearly a ninja reddit 4 secondary seething because mork knows how to scrap and can actually complete vanilla 2 on master unlike you
>>728937889>mork knows how to scrapthat made me kek so hard
>>728919359
>>728938067Gameplay so dense it started a nuclear fusion.
>>728919725He doesn't strike me as mad though, he's always chippy in the clips I've seen>>728919795Scrub
>>728919725I'm exactly the same. The stuff he says and thinks is me, word for word, when I was 18 and thought that shmups and arcade games are the coolest hardcore shit ever. But now I know I was a tunnel-visioned retard and grew out of it years ago
>>728937812>>SEES NO PROBLEM IN SPAMMING THE SAME 3 COMBOS OVER N OVERYou have to explain what's wrong with this one. If those combos do their job, then why would there be a need for anything else?
>>728919123Is he right about inertia? Should you move from 0 to 100 speed right away if you press right?
>>728919123The high literacy is spamming UT and Izuna Drop for iframes
>>728919123>High Literacy difficulty>J-Action>CAG>Cuhraaazy>parry/roll/dash/slide/shield/clashparry/mechanics slop>LMAO DID YOU DO [intended mechanic] you ...didn't beat le game >XD>Erm, my juggle brap is better than YOUR juggle brap (His juggle brap actually is just as flawed as the others)
>>728942493Yes, he is.Inertia is dogshit in every game where it's being used.I want full control of my player character.
>>728942493Depends on the context. Silksong is a combat based Metroidvania so having more control over your character can lead to cooler boss fights. Something like SMB 1 is a marathon/obstacle course game with half the fun being based around managing your speed to do tight jumps. Besides, SotN has zero inertia but Alucard is still really fun to control, so it's typically better to not have movement inertia.
>>728937542You should be hung.
>>728919725>like he's on the verge of exploding into nerd rageI can't picture him being angry.
>>728942158It's hypocritical. If UT/OT spam is "cheap" then by extension spamming the same three combos would also be cheap.
>>728943718he doesnt call "ot" """spam" or cheap at any point, he says that OT is far better designed than UT which feels boring and lame to use
>>728943814Oh you thought I was going to watch anything by this poser?lol
>>728942493this is the most out of touch, retarded shit i've read in a long, long time. holy shit this dude can't be serious
>>728942158Doing the same thing over and over again regardless of situation and not being asked/not having any reason to consider any other options makes for an inherently shallow, boring and easy game. If the game then also has several other options that should entail high depth that these design elements are entirely kneecapping and are being placed front and center for easy and immediate access then that makes things significantly worse in terms of design.
>>728944503>ahahahaha i didnt even watch it but heres all the complaints i have about the video
>>728944624I'm not the dude that made that list of complaints.Some retard asked what was wrong with spamming the same three combos. I explained why.
>>728937812I can't hate Mork when he's got redditors malding in all caps lmao
>>728927052Mork the dork>>728942493No, lol. Especially when talking about manual scrolling platformers. This statement makes some sense when talking about STG bullet hells but nobody would apply it to racing games for example.
What's the issue with UT? Its just a charged attack.
>>728947168I-frames.
>>728947474And?
>>728938067>infinite hp cheat>baited a ton of enemies into that spot instead of clearing the rooms for this shit webm only nonplayers will fall forimplessive
>>728947168A charged attack is fine. When it's a charged attack that can be charged instantly with next to no effort, feeds itself the instant charge when it kills something which it can do 99.9% of the time, has full iframes and a minuscule window in between each one to be interrupted despite the chain being so easy to restart, can take up to 8 seconds for each one to finish, is massively stronger and safer in both single target and AoE damage than anything else you have access to while working on almost everything, and gives the highest currency reward by a gigantic margin, that becomes a problem. But you already know all this.
>>728944580>Doing the same thing over and over again regardless of situation and not being asked/not having any reason to consider any other options makes for an inherently shallow, boring and easy game.No, the depth just comes from knowing when and how to use that same thing over and over again. If you think doing more things = more depth, then you're just kinda wrong. I do wish action games would remove all the bloat altogether and only have three attack strings at most. It'd help put focus on what matters (the enemies) and get rid of all the people who think that depth comes from how many options you use.
mork was ignored by the shmup community because he is an idiot but the ninja gayden is easy to bait so they pay attention to him
>>728948315So don't use it? Like, what's the logic there? Because something can be potentially abused its bad? Do we have to cut the player's balls for using UTs more than three times or what?
>>728949153Ninja Gaydenfags are starved for any form of attention or relevancy
uh oh the anti NG schizos have arrived
>>728919359It means you're not ready to sit down and talk about clear retarded decisions made by a jap that used sunglasses indoor and decided that getting the player spammed by constant exploding shurikens is a solid difficult option and won't force them to spam the safest moves available for the i-frames. Until NG3, NG as a franchise suffered heavily in its high difficult, since the player would surrender 90% of Ryu's moveset just to use whatever he could to get a quick kill before he could start spamming UTs. NG2 even made UTs harder to be cancelled by the enemies. NG is, to this day, still one of the best action game series. But this retarded fanbase that keeps thinking that bad game decisions are some sort of high skill ceiling that only divine beings can understand can fuck righ off. I'm glad NG4 keep essence spam and forced you to engage with what you have instead of "delimbing" one enemy for a quick OT and them UTs. No wonder those retards hated NG4.
>>728949349"Don't use it" is never a good argument because players will always optimize the fun out of a game. It's human nature to choose the most efficient and optimal strategy and the designer's job is to protect players from themselves.
>>728949356well yeahtheir franchise died in front their eyes
>>728948976>the depth just comes from knowing when and how to use that same thingAbsolutely, and many excellent games can come from having a small set of tools that you need to apply in dynamic ways due to highly variable encounter, level, enemy design and so on. For an example I imagine since you're saying that then you would also understand and agree with how this is quite literally why parry mechanics exist and remain popular in fact, because the timing element will always have a baseline difference. Which is why I specifically added the part where it says "regardless of situation and not being asked/not having any reason to consider any other options". You put this in your own post, why didn't you read it before jumping to assumptions?
You need a high IQ to understand ninja gaiden
>>728948315>and gives the highest currency reward by a gigantic marginRETARDED POSER SPOTTED
>>728950435Meanwhile, everyone else would cheer if the NGfags died in front of our eyes.
>>728949349Your thought terminating cliche can be applied to every game in existence and has next to no basis when it comes to actually discussing the design of a game. I would hope you know this as well. Mechanical abuse is on a spectrum and the more egregious something is in terms of how much it erases, the more it taints the rest of the game and the player's experience whether used or not. And as for when you "don't use it", >>728949540 hits the nail on the head for the simple fact that on top of the experience being tainted, you have to measure what you are actually left with if you do decide to ignore them as best you can. Which is pretty hard when despite their terribly handled inclusion they are made so integral to other parts of the game design and impact it all, leading to enemies poorly made to stop the UT chains. If you can't use UTs, you're still doing something else over and over, they're just a bit worse than UTs in every way. This is also what makes it so ironic when people hold up the few times someone gets stuck by IS in the tiny gaps between iframe cloaking as proof it's not infallible, because if they tried to engage with anything else it would just be so much worse with it all being down to bad RNG.
>>728951595why do schizos like you not just commit suicide like everyone in your life wants you to?
>>728919123I just run away and charge UT, works for me.
>>728951270Explain for the class how UTs multiplying essence on kill by several factors is not the kill method that grants the most currency compared to the rest of your moveset. For your own sake, do not mention combo count in a move comparison as if it's in any way separate from UTs and not in fact something UTs heavily support and benefit from due to letting you safely increase and maintain it.
>>728949540its funny how the lowest skill players always talk the biggest about the "game design" of this series. you couldnt do the archive fiend challenge on master ninja even by spamming UT.s whereas people have done it at base health without touching UT.s and with just the nunchaku. the better you get at NG the more you use all of the tools available but youre shit at the games so no shit you only find success at praying that the invincibility button would work, but curiously enough you dont no death the games let alone no damage them even with your invincibility button
>>728950486There's no "knowing" when and how to use a parry on your end because you have no input over it. When and how you use a parry is decided by the game, you just have to react to it. It's not anything like knowing how use an attack string, which you have full control over. The attack string requires actual strategy beyond "react fast". Parrying is just Simons Says, there's nothing else to it, and that's why it's popular. There's no thought behind it, even a monkey could do it.
>>728952942>There's no thought behind it, even a monkey could do it.Okay, no try to make it more complex smart man.
I have mork AND anti-mork fatigue
>>728947831>Kill enemy>Enemy leaves an orb>Charge UT instantly with the orb>Kill enemies with the UT>They leave an orb>Repeat
>>728954430MGR already did
>>728952942Yeah I thought you'd say something derivative and siloed like that without considering how it applies directly to what you're asking for, but I wanted you to see how far your idea actually goes. Despite parrying being enabled by your own understanding of positioning, hitboxes/hurtboxes and enemy strings as well as being a supplementary mechanic, if there's no thought behind something that inherently has to change in any encounter, what does that say about something that never even needs to change throughout the whole game?
>>728954884So what, its just a question of input? Lame.
>>728954430Ironically, having the fluid, always shifting option to switch between purely positioning-based offense and defense to a timing reliant defense and having to weigh the benefits and downsides of both in real time against your own understanding of the enemies and potential openings/resources can be quite complex in fact, nevermind how many ways you can build upon the mechanic to fit it alongside anything else. But you don't get that from the epic kneejerk reeee parries mindset.
>>728937889Have you seen Mork play? You can tell he never cleared mnm lol
>>728952840>funny how the lowest skill players always talk the biggest about the "game design" of this series.Wdym?
>>728955797I don't understand the parry cristicism. Or rather, I don't understand it in the context of regular gameplay where you get jumped by at least two enemies at the same time. I barely parry with the block button, plus I use the parry-window accessory and I still miss the attack button-parry one.Now for boss fight, I could agree, but I feel like you still need to get the timing right.
>>728958221I was speaking generally, but it's because people take the very basic potential issues of what a badly implemented parry system can result in, completely ignore every other mechanic or situation surrounding it and decree that it is always bad and if it exists then it's always the worst-case scenario. This is where most of the NG4 complaining comes from despite it not actually applying when you consider the rest of the game and how it's implemented.
>>728937812PURENITAKUKINO
>>728943718Uh no bro, UT spam is genius high level gameplay density made by the greatest designer in the world, Itagaki, but when other games do it like Dark Ages then it's mechanical darwinism and just proof of how shit all modern games are
>>728937812He almost had a semblance of a point when he said games don't necessarily need to keep the mechanics of their predecessors, in reference to UTs.Unfortunately a) There's actually plenty of cases that don't do this outside his autistic bubble, and b) he substantiated with a quote from Itagaki saying OTs were also conceptualized for NG1 so which is completely self-defeating since you'd assume it would've also still have had UTs, and you know for a fact Morkie wouldn't be complaining if that had been the case.
Seriously, wtf did he mean by surface area?
>>728920048Thanks Ryu, although i can't play black.I will gladly replay sigma, i itch to retry Eternal Legend
>>728924161Iconoclast likes a lot of games I think are total garbage.He's the sort of guy who's so into a genre they just like everything.
>>728962194That's not true. I remember him shitting on quite a few games.
>>728962306I don't.I will clarify that he "likes" mostly everything he doesn't love everything. And he seemingly does love NG4.
>>728961182length multiplied by width
>>728962431How does that apply to NG 2?
>>728962391He didn't like Paprium.
>>728919123So if I replay this, I'll be considered literate?
>>728962391
>>728949349I don't know about NG2 because I've yet to play it, but in NG1 in any scenario involving a big group of tougher enemies you are basically fucked if you don't abuse UTs. Very few attacks work well in such fights, so going for UTs, which aren’t just safe, but also very rewarding to land becomes a no brainer. It’s to the point that above all else you are concerned about there being some essence for you to charge up your UTs with. And the combat loop goes like this: roll, jump, charge UT, kill a bunch of dudes, repeat. And if your UT fails for whatever reason, you are looking to kill some dude by whatever means necessary so you can get some essence and get back to looping UTs.
By the way, just wanted to say that this level is absolute dogshit. Filled with ranged enemies that are boring to fight. Three bosses in a row built around shooting them with a bow. And after that you have to do even more shooting to take down that fucking tower. People say that aqueduct sucks ass too. I feel like the game quality took a plunge at the chapter where you go underground, it's been pretty boring since then, I even started playing trials because of that.
>>728964845That's the Itagaki genius DENSITY coming at you, any criticism will be met with a webm of Itagaki saying he made the game harder
Will Ninja Gaiden 4 work with a GTX 960 (3GB VRAM)? Not worried about fps, but about crashes for lack of vram... Played the whole series recently, from the nintendo games to the sigma and ninja gaiden 3, and would be a shame to miss the last game because of this toaster.
>>728919420>>728923606>>728923662When does he say that?
>>728965052I doubt it but you can just pirate it and see for yourself
>>728965090Mork has no videos on Kirby because it's too hard for him
>>728959779He hypocrit, yes.
Where is the video where he nags about progression hell games like Vampire Survivors and Hades?Now seems like the perfect time for that now that Hades 2 lost to E33.
>>728923889Oh you wanna see my no-ability runs?
>>728923889They should either stop with the story and crappy platforming for these games and go arcade or actually put the effort in to make them good. God of war trilogy managed to do this, the japs should be able to mimic the americans.
>>728965667>They should either stop with the story and crappy platforming for these games and go arcade or actually put the effort in to make them goodThey simply won''t.Kirby is strictly babies first beat em up.Now don't get me wrong, there's some very good blood and bones in there. But they are too fixiated on that E rating to ever commit to anything more than maybe an extra hard boss rush mode and self imposed challenges.
Let's see>kirby has you choose between a variety of interesting and differing powers that you have to pick based on nothing but intuition of what's coming up>to even get the powers you need to best an enemy and swallow them>getting hit even once loses the power>if you lose your power during a boss then that's it, you aren't getting it backMeanwhile ninja gaiden>hold down Y to activate your invincible kill all enemies move
>>728947831the player spams iframes the game spams unblockerble attacks to balance the gameplay, the game is using iframes and killing enemies as quick as possible before you die
>>728965952Hey now itagaki added a hundred enemies at once and infinite rocket spam to even things out, plus the camera that will get you killedbecause it hates you.
>>728965052That's old enough that you wont be locked out of settings so technically yes but its going to look and run like absolute shit. My 980ti couldn't handle it without lowering everything and going down to 720p and it was miserable so I upgraded.
>>728919123I don't think ngb or 2 are perfect but what is even the alternative? Every other CAG is obsessed with punchbags and score systems that railroad you into the most boring playstyles they could come up with and punish you for using half its mechanics or even fighting enemies like dmc1
>>728964438youre shit at the game
>>728966664The perfect non-player post, hell you even use the retarded youtuber term instead of the real genre name
How is it possible that so much of the """criticism""" towards NG is about how its totally braindead easy to spam UT and izuna drop but the games have an insanely tiny completion rate, let alone on master ninja, and that rate would be even smaller if they even tracked your performance on any of the hardest challenges in the game like the trials and ambushes/valors
>>728966792Reminder that Child of Eden has an even lower clear rate, therefore it's more hardcore
Notice how nobody has posted their Kirby Air Riders rainbow rank yet. /v/ doesn’t play games.
>>728961869Ryu Hayabusa says "It's okay to play Sigma one. I understand that not everyone has access to NG:Black. Merry Christmas to all and to everyone I wish a very pleasant 400 ft. Izuna Drop on the Spider-clan."
>>728966918I dont see people constantly talking about how braindead easy and totally figured out child of eden is while being unable to play it themselves
>>728966670Let's watch a pro player doing the first trial that has you face many groups of enemies. It's UT spam galore, what a surprise.https://youtu.be/MjfKzDkPhVg?list=PLLkZiKEkqWjJ4oKhiDC-wxYo__0L-QsXY
>>728967005All I remember Ryu saying is HAH HU HAH like Link
>>728966792Not only that but clearly people liked those mechanics enough that they brought them back 4 times. In conclusion give Ryu all his weapons back and everything will be right in the world.
>>728966304Thanks. Will check out with the Optiscaler mod and report back if the thread is still alive.

>>728964845Honestly as fun as NG1 and its variants is, this really is the lowest point of the game. And none of them really fix the issue in the re-releases.
>>728966792I think you have to realize that most of these people complaining about posers and the games being braindead haven't actually played the games themselves, ironically enough. They only know the game from 4chan webms and Youtube videos. Just notice how every NG thread these days is about e-celebs and not the games themselves.
>>728920048Thank you Super Ninja I will continue to enjoy Black 2, NG4 and the rest of the series while ignoring the retarded takes.
>>728968221At least the military base is just knowledge/skill checks and not too hard. The first chapter is straight up unfair bullshit and the water and underground ones are pure boring aids
>>728967072First of all youre using the term "pro" extremely loosely because nobody gets paid to play these games, secondly dont ever use a Jaytb video again to prove whatever retarded clueless point you think youre making especially if the point is that you "need" to "spam ut" to survive against multiple enemies. Play the game on the actual difficulties before talking about it retarded shitter
>>728967072It's not JUST UT spam though. He's positioning himself and saving essence for the right time. If you were to just go into this fight and 'spam UTs' you'd get your shit pushed in.
>NG thread>Look inside >It's schizos
>>728968221If it's the lowest point why did they bring it back?
>>728965667But God of War's platforming and story suck.
>need a shit>go to the toilet>ahh of course, what's the surface area of this toilet?>couldn't figure it out>shit myself>spaghetti everywhere
>>728939862>shmups and arcade games are the coolest hardcore shit everThat is correct.
I mostly agree with Mark but there are some points where he shows he really baffles me>Calls essence karma>That weird cheese for the room in Ch 8>Saying UTs and OTs serve the same purpose and his general discourse that the core of NG combat is this RPS triangle For the first point especially I don't see how you could confuse these if you played NGB and NG2 to completion especially if you're posting about the game online and are aware of doing karma runs, especially as an arcadefag that cares about score.
>>728964845I really like this chapter except for the radio tower, the tanks and the chopper are fun to shoot at but hitting those stupid transmitters or whatever while the rocket guys shoot at you is dogshit.
>>728939147>He doesn't strike me as mad though, he's always chippy in the clips I've seenThat's why I like Mork even though he's hilarious. He does truly love the games he likes and actually believes the stupid shit he says.

Why is ninja gaiden the only one out of the old big names that has such an autistic fanbase? Seriously, dmc has a few, bayo has a few, even gow has a few. But they all still pale in comparison to ng.
>>728978432Mix of the games not being as popular and the higher difficulty naturally breeding elitism.Although having personally known the biggest autist in the GoW community I can safely say that no one individually compares.
>>728978432The fans telling you that youre retarded whenever you do your epic 70 IQ "takedowns" of NG game design while being blatantly shit at them isnt the "fanbase being autistic", if anything the known names in the NG community seem bafflingly normal and relaxed
>>728978432Because it stems from a specific game, not the series, and those people use motte and bailey, weak diversions and constantly switch sides to maintain their ego.
suicidal fiend mages ending my survival run, fucking hell
Something about Ninja Gaiden just attracts the below 90 IQ autsitic retards that latch onto this with insane conviction, its not unlike how the sonic fanbase has a lot of obssessed autists that make sonic their life and oump out tons of garbage content just like these ninja gaiden e-celebs.
LET'S MORKING GOOOOOOOOOHe did a long ass chat live stream yesterday. Not as good compare the ones he did a year ago.https://www.youtube.com/live/x8X-qI3srII
>>728919359it means you got a phd in media literacy from an ivy league school in a big city. rural retards can handle such a game.
>>728979912>its not unlike how the sonic fanbaseat least sonic fans made a port of Sonic unleashed for PCninja gayden fans can only dream of doing something like that
>>728976204I used to like his reviews but he's going full retard with his armchair gamedesigner opinions. He wasn't playing NG2 optimally at all and draws super weird conclusions about it's gamedesign that make no sense.The biggest failure of his channel is that he's no longer truly reviewing games but rather trying to confirm his headcannon theories about what games should be and anything that deviates from it is trash. Disappointing.
>>728979934Why does he never indicate when he's going live?
>>728979912That sounds like soulsfags to me.It makes more sense to be super passionate about a series that's at the top of it's genre than making lore headcannon about very very shitty action rpgs or irrelevant platformers that were mostly never good.
ninja gayden fanboys are delusional
>>728979934I'll have to finish Shinobi before he does.
>>728978432gow changed so fans either had to accept it or move on. Bayonetta 3 was mired in controversy for some and is locked to the Switch so some people won't play it to get upset at the game. DMC decided to bring it home with DMC5 and cut out the spin-off BS but also has been dormant since DMC5 and the anime has actually made a lot of fans upset with Adi Shankar at the very least. NG just got a new game and has generally been neglected for quite some time. Microsoft hasn't been as kind to any of their Japanese made franchises. Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Ninja Gaiden, Dead or Alive, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey.
>>728978432it literally only takes one or two people to make discussion impossible here
>>728981592>Microsoft>Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Ninja Gaiden, DoABro you're retarded.
