Why is Black so much more highly regarded than Sigma? Aren't they pretty much the same game?
Literally just hipster behavior, old = good, new = bad Also maybe an element of console war shit, since Black was an Xbox exclusive whereas Sigma was PS3 only
>>739271456sigma = snoyblack = not snoytherefore, black >sigma
>>739271456No. Sigma completely removes the adventure/exploration elements in place of more combat rooms. It adds the Rachel sections, but no one likes those anyways, and a couple new enemy types and bosses, but generally reduces the difficulty of combat anyways.Now, Black is already too easy compared to 04 because of UT invincibility, but that's a separate issue.
>>739271456>Aren't they pretty much the same game?No.
The only reason I would say Black is better than Sigma is because it doesn't have the fucking motorcycle enemies. God what a terrible fucking enemy that they keep throwing everywhere in the city.
>>739272019Isn't more of the good stuff(combat) and less of the mid stuff(adventure, puzzles) better?
>>739271456>Rachel>motorcyles and mermenLittle things that add up.
>>739271456Black is cooler. Sigma feels better to play.I wish they'd just grow a fuckin spine and mash the two together. Give us all the improvements from Sigma, and ramp up the gore from Black. Why is that so difficult? If it takes a remake do to it, I'll take it, just give me the best of both versions combined.
i'd probably like gamov more if I wasn't forced to use the warhammer as my only weapon
>>739272446The idea for Reachel is cool. Because she's a giant, slow cow in heels that hits hard, not yet another speedy shinobi. Her execution? Not so much.
>>739271456Black is the better game, but you can't go wrong with Sigma, Sigma 2 probably soured people's opinion of the first as well despite it being way more faithful.
>>739271456I wouldn't say "pretty much the same", but the difference in reputation is indeed unearned. While Sigma 2 I can't recommend without mods, Sigma 1 over Black is a valid pick. Black works well emulated so might as well go with that version to not deal with the dumb shit like Rachel, but yeah, both are excellent and among the best the genre has to offer.
What's wrong with the motorcycle enemies? They're fun to fight.
>>739272257nigga just guillotine throw them
>>739272270What's good and what's mid is subjective.
>>739273782Nigger nobody plays Ninja Gaiden for anything except the combat, this ain't Zelda
>>739271456No they are not. Black is more highly regarded because that was Itagaki refining the original NG Xbox version as much as he thought he could. Of course its true that the camera could have been way better but this has been discussed to death.Sigma is a bastardized version that made unnecessary changes. Probably the only thing it implemented that you could say was good was a faster way to use some of the items. The sequel implemented a similar idea. Its really tiring how these Sigma faggots still cling so desperately to their game. Its not a bad game. It can't be since its still based on NG. But its absolutely inferior to the Xbox games period. NGB being abandoned forever due to a lack of source code and hatred of Itagaki is fucking disgusting. If only that game was ported in proper glory.
>>739271456It's basically a desperate defense of Xbox consoles over Playstation consoles. A basic look at both would conclude Sigma has an extra character and extra weapon, so it's better. There are subtler changes that generally make Sigma more fun. Still, they're basically the same game.
>>739274068Name a single good thing in Black that isn't equal or better in Sigma
>>739273969The originals were side-scrolling platformers, so
>>739274641The colors for one look better on Xbox than they do on the Sigma version. The Sigma version seems to have a weird bloom shining effec as wellt. Just look at this video before even playing it. The colors are off. The Xbox version looks better.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96XK4nXsqsc
>>739272270Spoken like a true zoomer faggot
>>739271456Sigma has nerfed enemies
>>739271456Neither is the definitive version
>>739271456sigma made the game more linear and added shitty rachel sections.its like the ps3 devs thought players were retarded.it also fucked ryu's back dodge frame data with a new flip animation and changed a bunch of music for no reason.in general sigma 1 is lacking black's polish, and has more loading zones and transparency issues. (blimp level outside no longer moves. the skull key door is opage.)if i want to play ng1, i play black.if i want to use ng2 dual swords in ng1, i play sigma. (and oh boy they were NOT playtested)
>>739271683Holy based
>>739271456Sigma had severe framerate drops on ps3. It had tons of loading when the xbox version just streamed everything.
