What in fuckery is wrong with the people who wrote this game?It's already 3 hours hours of barista girl saying "HEY YAKUMO" and him saying "UNDERSTOOD" and the other guy dumping nonsense lore,it's like am overdosing on that "focus M" video,is this supposed to make me mad and fight harder??
>>736261209It's supposed to make you ignore it just how everyone sane ignored the lore in NG1 2 3
>>736261636Is that your way of saying "turn voices off"?
>>736262049Nah just put them on japanese
>>736261209>MONDAINAIKIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>736262403You are a real ninja for making it through those crash bandicoot sections,I like the game for the action but I can see why it didn't sell well,one stage it's all wind parkour then it's water park it's water skateboard,it really feel like crush bandicoot
>>736261209The English voices are genuinely terrible. Japanese Yakumo is a lot more likable, especially since his catchphrase is basically saying he can do his job.
>>736262975I enjoyed them, but this is probably the last time we see them, because they are a Platinum Games feature. If we get Ninja Gaiden 5, it will probably be developed fully by Team Ninja.
>>736263371>If we get Ninja Gaiden 5, it will probably be developed fully by Team Ninja.Worst nightmare ever. I would never wish anyones favorite series to be developed on the Katana Engine
>>736263230Yakumo is much more likeable in Japanese accurate English translation. He is rude in English dub.
>>736263441>Katana EngineFuture Team Ninja games will look a lot better, Koei Tecmo made big investment in improving Katana Engine. Nioh 3 is still using old Katana Engine. You will see in the future, the power of the upgraded Katana Engine.
>>736263230I played through the whole game in japanese so I don't know much about how Yakumo is different in english but he seems kind of dull. He's really no nonsense and kind of has little personality to him.
>>736263579Just like RE engine with DD2 and WildsIf NG4 ran like shit just like Nioh 3 I would've instantly wrote it off, unacceptable for an action game to run bad
>>736262975they really aren't that long but the dlc should've made it so you can skip them on ng+
>>736261209It feels shallow to say but I stopped playing NG4 strictly because I'm so disinterested in Yakumo. Quite possibly one of the single worst character designs in modern video history, his weapons are just lame thematically, and he's somehow more stoic than Ryu except when a little anime faggot twink does it it's not as cool. This is the first action game I have ever dropped simply because of how much I dislike the protagonist. The game should have been Ryu all the way because I have to at least give them credit where it's due: Ryu is incredibly fun to use and the sound design on some of things moves are simply excellent.
>>736261209I chuckled everytime yakumo said "mondainai" even though I didn't pay attention to the dialogue at all
>>736263735>Just like RE engine with DD2 and WildsLets see what the upgraded Katana Engine will be capable of, time will tell.>If NG4 ran like shit just like Nioh 3 I would've instantly wrote it off, unacceptable for an action game to run badI agree, the NG4 Platinum Games Engine is the best action game engine I've ever experienced, extremely low latency/input lag, superb optimization for 120FPS gameplay.
>>736263728His English voice actor can't act and he's pissed off all the time. I was fine with him being more serious because all he really knows is doing his job.
I didn't mind the Japanese dub of Yakumo (or Yakumo in general), he's fine but the writing feels like they only had a few pages and immediately began repeating all the flavour text. Seori feels like the only character with an actual personality because no one else has anything substantial to say besides plot-related dialogue.A lot of aspects of NG4 feel bloated to me. I like the combat but everything lasts too long and ends up boring the shit out of me sooner than later. I feel like you could've cut half the stages without suffering much. Playing as Ryu just made me want to play a different NG game.
