>Dragon Sword, is the dragon-forged katana handed down in the Hayabusa Ninja Clan. This divine weapon is one of the most powerful in existence, possessing an immense spiritual power that threatens to consume the soul of its wielder.>Takes 3-5 slashes to kill low level mooks
>>750191938Filtered
>>750191938well that just tells you how tough even the low level mooks are. With a normal weapon you would have no chance
Those "low level mooks" are super powered ninjas of top level genetic stock probably enhanced with demon blood. They can run along walls, do flips, tank bullets and magical essence flows out of them when they die.So yeah, they don't die in one slash even to a magical sword carved out of a dragon's fang swung by a half demon super ninja.

I am currently walled by:>Abyssal Road 81-100>Sigma 2 Mentor 5>3RE MN/UN trialsI suck at Black and Sigma on Hard and above even if I've beaten MN/UN in all the other games. Consider it owari for me.
>>750191938NG Dragon Sword and NG3 are the only ones that really show how strong it is. Ryu gets his ass beat then upon getting the TDS from Momiji he immediately demolishes the fiend that just beat his ass. In NG3 the dragon sword is so strong it makes the Blade of the Archfiend disintegrate when Ryu parries with it. It also showcases its power of never harming an innocent person which lets Ryu save the kid in the end.Just once I wish they showed what happens when a non-dragon lineage person tries to use the dragon sword. Would they get fucked up just trying to hold it, or would it just be really hard to use?
>>750192413Is shoving this up the enemy's ass a viable tactic?
>>750193591Forbidden by the ninja code
>>750191938The DS can do everything. You don't even need to switch weapons unless you want to. Flying fish? foward jump and light attack. 98% of the mobs in the game? Flying swallow into UT. Slow ass enemy? Charge UT and go to town.
>>750193547>that one scene in blade plays where some random retard takes his swordwould be kino, but we would need ryu to lose for that to happen
>>750194431He did get it stolen by some slavic dark juju magic once but nobody else tried to hold it. My fan fiction wish was for Momiji to use it once, since she already knows Ryu's sword moveset.
If TN makes NG5 (which I think they will, but maybe in 10 years or more) I hope they keep the gleam moves in some way and the chain link mechanic from 4. I like the aerial gleam Y move, that one is fun, and back to forward X on the ground.
>>750191938I’m gonna be honest The Dragon Sword is the coolest sword in gaming and Ryu Hayabusa is the coolest videogame character and I think he would beat anybody and anything from any fictional universe in a fight. He let Yakumo win, because he is based and humble as well because he is perfect.
>>750194765>perfect>let someone winsounds like a fucking fraud that should go into the retirement home just like his games
>>750194765It's a generic looking katana
>>750194802No he’s based and he can’t go into a retirement home because demons would follow him and kill everybody and then he’d have to kill the demons.>>750194834No it’s The Dragon Sword
>>750194802That is likely what Platinum intended when making their shitty tokyo ghoul twink OC. They succeeded in retiring the game series.
The Dragon Sword... sugoi...
>>750194834It really isn't, it's very recognizable and iconic. It is pretty basic though, but there's beauty in simplicity.
>>750195370i thought OP's pic was dynasty warriors
>>750195539same company
>>750195539I wouldn't expect to know a weapon I've never seen from a game I've never played.
>>750193547>This divine weapon is one of the most powerful in existence, possessing an immense spiritual power that threatens to consume the soul of its wielder.I assume it's the Vampire Killer from Castlevania in katana form and you just die if you try to use it.
>>750191938>>750191938Ive been wanting to replay the orignal version of 2 for a bit now but i really dont want to bust out my 360. Whats the censensus on the new remaster at this point?
>>750194765He was testing Yakumo
>>750197274He was tasting Yakumo's ABP bussy
>>750197274>merely a testHe's lucky Yakumo didn't take his head off
>>750194753I don't know, Platinum had to change so many things to integrate chain link and make it so good and even then it's only good on Yakumo.>>750196782Emulate or bust out the 360.
>>750196782It's based on Sigma 2 with restored gore and generic UE5 visuals. It's fine
>>750196782Best version of the game since it removes the most amount of shit boss fights and adds back in the stuff Sigma 2 removed (gore, weapon upgrade system). Also least insufferable on higher difficulties.I have beaten MN on all 3 versions of NG2.
For me? It was the Vigoorian Flail.
>>750198878I fucking love this weapon. Everyone talks about Flying Swallow being broken, but this has its own FS equivalent that can be extended into an aerial combo, so you don['t even have the cooldown disadvantage that the Dragon Sword FS has, it's ridiculous. And awesome.
Always been curious about the Vita version
>>750200018It's a mostly fine playable version of sigma 2. The main issue is the FPS gets to like low 20s sometimes in fights. But really I don't mind, it's kind of a miracle how Team Ninja got their games to run on the vita and the effort they put into it.
>>750193591We need more video-game protagonists willing to sodomize their enemies

I hate this design
>>750201434Why? Honest question. I don't have play this franchise. I've just seen people only put points that all imply her being aged up or her hairstyle changing.As a non-fan, it looks fine to me in comparison to the rest of the outfits I've seen in this series.
>>750201434it's so shit it killed her VA
>>750201507>Half exposed cleavage>Sleeve only jacket>Thong under the leotard but over the bodysuit>Her entire left leg>Boots don't cover her toesIt's just overdesigned retarded gacha game looking crap
>>750201507less is more
>>750191938>unmodded sugma
>>750196782It looks like shit compared to the original, especially the blood. Don't bother. There is a master ninja normal mod to make the original's mn more friendly. 2 black is a rip off and a downgrade.
>>750201507>As a non-fanAnswered your own question
>>750201821I think the upper half could work. It's the bottom half that's all shambles of different ideas. As for the half-exposed cleavage, isn't this series fanservice with it's girls?
>>750202889Which is why I'm asking. Are you incapable of having a normal conversation. I didn't call anyone wrong or right. I'm just trying to understand.
>>750202928Yes that's why the cleavage should be fully exposed
>>750196782Vanilla 2 MN mogsI have beaten MN on all 3 versions of NG2
>>750202972Isn't this just underboob though? It's the same idea, just a different kind of fanservice cleavage. Granted, fully exposing her top with the thing running between her cleavage would have been hotter.
>>750201434
>>750203681
>>750203748
>>750200018Wait there's a black version of 2? Is it any good? I got the collection on steam and 2 sigma was pretty bad.
>>750203809
>>750202862>There is a master ninja normal mod to make the original's mn more friendlyThe mod is garbage, the raped individual behind it just took out all the friction and turned the game into Smegma lite. The same subhuman had also spent years begging modders to remove the instant explosion on kunais when they hit environment because "that's how it was in NG 1 and the prototype build and Itagaki only changed it to make the game harder"All of you are fake fans and deserve to get bombed alongside other human trash in Gaza.
>>750203931
>>750203886It's a slightly improved version of 2 sigma if you don't mind UE5 visuals
>>750191938Reminder that the NES games are still canon somehow and at the end of the timeline, in Ninja Gaiden 2, the sword is used to revive Irene and disappears inside her. Also reminder that Ryu is a retard who can somehow avoid being killed by all sorts of demons yet gets shot and captured by Irene right after the first level of the first game when he's already a veteran.
>>750204038
>>750204196How's this?
>>750204151Gross. What they did to the temple staircase in sigma was unforgivable.
>>750204291
>>750204404
>>750204392The staircase in 2 black has a shitload of enemies added at least on MN, probably close to identical with og 2.
>>750201434That's fine, just blink and you'll miss it.Fuck platinum
>>750203956I'm not reading all that shit in your screencap.>fake fansBeing proud of being a fanatic wishing death on people simply because they don't share your exact opinion is pretty pathetic.
>>750202971She's had many designs before, probably even more than the other DOA girls but never something so drastic, they even completely changed her hairstyle with is something that never happens to her.

>>750201507Her outfit is a bit stupid, that's allBut ayane always dresses poorly lol, now that I think about it.
Best version?I can emulate or run any tof the PC slop versionsI just want to have fun with these games
>>750211376Ninja Gaiden BlackNinja Gaiden 2 OG Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor's edgeContrary to what you've likely heard in NG threads there's no truly awful version of these games. Personally I'd play what's easiest for you, then seek out Black and NG2 if you want to experience those
>>750206326all i know about farnham is that he likes yaiba, that alone is enough make me question his judgement
>>750211718Apparently NGB gives me the staff on level 1? If so fuck it I'll get the recompiled version on PC
>>750211376OG 2 is the most fun one out of the gate, so emulate that. >>750212518It depends on the dififculty mode, on MN you start with it and on VH/Hard you acquire it halfway through the level. On normal it's in chapter 2.
>>750208798>>750210131Is there a recomp or mod that adds vanilla's NG+ DDB and cyberninja skin?
>>750214226There's a mod for xemu that restores the skin. No clue about recomps
>>750214226The recomp has the cyberninja skin, just select unlock all customs in recomp settings > startup

>>750214985>>750215069Cool, thanks.
>>750215110almost impressive how a series with so many shit bosses managed to top itself like that.
>nioh enemies in ngre soonlmao. fiend busa been cooking
I always saw these things as more like two separate concepts in the same entity>just a really well made sword that does its job of being a sword>plus an innate power that makes it useful for killing demon gods or whateverLike in Zelda there are weapons that are going to do more raw damage than the Master Sword, but Master Sword is the only thing that will put down Ganon.
>>750217510>atm it applies the A.I behavior of an existing enemy to nioh1 (right now I have a copy of Vangelf A.I behaviour slapped onto the Yokai but the animation and param values from nioh1). Dismemberment it transplants its from the vangelf
bump
Do the bosses ever get more fun? Murai was boring, so was the horse guy and the robot thing at mission 3 is where I'm stuck at and half tempted to just throw one one hit kill and end it since it's boring as fuckthe levels themselves are kino
>>750221203no they're pure dogshit throughout the entire series until ng4
>>750221203No. NG has awful boss fights. 2 is the worst in the whole series 4 is when bosses stopped being shit but 4 was also made by platinum so it took a completely different studio change to make non shit bosses
>>750221203When the other anons say the bosses have always been shit, that includes the NES games. It's kinda impressive how consistent that aspect of this series is
For me is the magical ninja toolbox.
>ninja gaiden thread >the most mentally ill people in the action game community posts
I picked up the master collection recently. Are the bosses in the first game supposed to be? I have more fun with the regular enemy encounters than any of the boss fights in the first six missions so far.
>>750223859Are the bosses supposed to be shit*Brain fart on typing. In any case, hopefully the sequel figured out boss encounters.
>>750223946>>750221203>>750221307
>>750221203the bosses in 1-3 are pretty consistently terrible, 4 while being a weak NG game overall ironically has the best bosses in the series by a large margin because bosses have more than 1 consistent opening and dont have autoguard turned on half the time.
>>750223859Yes NG has notoriously shitty bosses
Neat about the bossesHow does the dragon sword hold up from 1-3 (RE on PC or whatev er version is 3)Since I like it and don't want to find out it's utter shit later on
>>750191938I’d rather do all the shitty bosses in the classic 3D trilogy than another two bosses in NG4 because at least in the originals you could fucking breeze through them, in NG4 it’s just multiphase souls garbage that rapes pacing.
>>750225319Dragon sword usually stays useful in the games.

>>750223673Can't stand this weapon.>what if we took a bunch of weapons from past games and a few new ones and just smooshed them together into an incohesive mess?
The recomp is actually really good, I kneel. Once the Genma Onimusha one is perfect I can retire xemu forever.NG2 when, holy shit, why does this game refuse to be fully playable on PC?
>>750225641the camera programmer didn't try to improve his craft at all
>>750226141wow nevermind.I'll never understand why ng4 ayane looks strange.
>>750226280>NG 2 whenabout that...
>>750226280ng2 cultists deserve it
>>750226369Japan in general with cameras haven't.
>>750226665No headband. Stupid costume
>>750225729Musou games don't count
>>750221203NG1 has zero good boss fights, but most of them are easy and just forgettable. NG2 has zero good boss fights, and many of them are pretty easily some of the worst boss fights ever made, simultaneously being insufferably boring, tedious, time wasting, and not easy. NG3RE has mostly bad boss fights with a couple of good ones. NG4 has some good boss fights but they suffer from the fact that they all play the same way and just ask how good you are at dodging/parrying.
>>750225319It's good in 1, okay in 2 (you can beat the game with it but it's massively outclassed by other weapons like the tonfa, lunar and scythe) and very good in 3, but needs its level 3 upgrades in that game before it becomes great.
Luv me dragon sword. By the time you get another weapon I'm already comfortable enough with the combos that I don't want to swap. Girl chapters always fuck me up
Why the fuck did they put in mission mode with some missions giving you the wooden sword
>>750221203>lol boss is "boring">two words later the raped is coping by saying he will do 1hko cheat, totally not because he got filtered and raped by the boss, but because it's "boring"It's always funny how people get filtered so bad by the bosses. Pro tip, don't dodge the lasers but just jump side-ways left to right and you will avoid the laser spam. You can cheese the boss by using fire wheels ninpo and then doing on-landing Y or on-landing 360Y repeatedly when he tried to grab. Since most likely you're playing Sugma then you can just rape the boss with dual kat.
Quick item menu in Black is a new thing, right?
I won't forgive Team Ninja for pic related.But...if you're playing a ninja game, you should be studying the japanese language, so you avoid dishonest localizations.
>>750233002Qrd?
>>750232737But it is boring as fuckI beat him on the next tryMy point was that I feel like the bosses are incredibly one dimensionalI'm sorry your bait didn't work
>>750233073Japanese Ninjas don't worship christ. The localization doesn't make sense. The original japanese is literally>Ryu! You are safe! I'm gladbut how can we market to westerners? by making them worship Christ.it's a localization that doesn't make sense, because ninjas historically didn't worship Christ, and don't even now.
>>750233002>>750233151This is the weirdest hill to die on. Tecmo in 1990 isn't even made up of the same people as the modern Team Ninja.
>>750234342>The NES games aren't relevantthey were literally in ninja gaiden black if i remember correctly. at the arcade. am i misremembering?
>>750233151Please be trolling.
>>750234797i oppose christianity in japanese videogames. i'm very serious.go ahead and ask your precious AI if ninjas worshipped christ. they didn't.The localization for ninja gaiden is bad. I don't know about the localization for NG4 because I haven't played it yet, but generally, if you're playing a japanese videogame, you should be playing in japanese for the intended experience.
>>750235061Nigga who cares
>>750233002Why do you think he means the Christian god? Maybe he's talking about a divine dragon god
>>750200018>>750200182The problem with the Vita version is actually the bow controls. They mapped the aiming to motion controls and you can't turn it off, so it makes the helicopter fights about ten times harder than they needed to be, it's fucking infuriating.
>>750236951I've never used a Vita but isn't gyro aim generally considered more precise than using an analog stick?
>>750200018>>750200182>>750236951Whoops, I meant the Vita version of NG1, not NG2. The NG2 version was fine IIRC.
Does mission mode in sigma 1 give you anything useful otherwise I might just skip it
>>750237034Technically yes but switching between normal and gyro controls when going back and forth between aiming and evading the helicopter attacks makes it considerably worse than all other versions of that fight. In NGB and NGS it's a slightly tricky but managable boss, in NGS+ I very nearly had to give up because of how bullshit it was.
>>750192206nah I'm good
>>750215110>dogshit weaponstick is good.
Game always felt like your controls were polled at 30hz with how delayed your actions are from Ryu actually performing them, especially with regards to jumping.
>>750236951You can also use the touchscreen. Not useful for the helicopter fight but works well for other stuff, like the control tower>>750200182Sigma 1+ is mostly fine, there was slowdown in a couple areas (iirc the hydracubus fight). It's worse in Sigma 2+. The ninja race mode was a cool idea but it ran at like half speed on vita
>>750233002>>750233151My at the time 66 year old japanese teacher taught me that よかった means "Thank God."You're being schizo for no reason, it's just a "cultural translation". When people say "Thank God" in english they're not always actually thanking God from the bottom of their hearts. Atheits will say it. It's just a phrase.Mind you I don't personally agree with this translation and I would never teach anyone like this, I think it's a mistake, but it's just regular localization, there's no "making them worship Christ to market it to westerners" agenda at play here.Your point of criticism is valid but your rant is schizo.
>>750237765>When people say "Thank God" in english they're not always actually thanking God from the bottom of their heartsJust like the tagline for America "One Nation Under God" doesn't imply americans worship God, right?It's fuel for religion. We shouldn't say "Thank God" if we don't believe in God, I certainly don't and I won't have my language dumbed down any further to erase any indication of religious indoctrination, simply because some people don't LITERALLY Mean what they're actually saying.And like you meant, it's just a bad translation/localization in general. So my point remains that Ninja Gaiden's translation is bad, so you should play in japanese.
>>750200182Not only did it hit low 20s, but it also employed a dynamic resolution scaler, so it'd get pixelated as fuck too since it was running without any anti-aliasing solution. Even though the game is uncensored, you were better off keeping the gore option disabled (you had the choice on Vita, unlike Sigma2 on PS3/PC) for the sake of keeping the framerate up.
>>750237637>You can also use the touchscreenThat's the thing, you can only switch between touchscreen to shoot or one of the face buttons, the actual aiming is hard locked to gyro, that's what makes the helicopter fight so nightmarish.
>>750238579To also add more, it wasn't until I played the master collection version of Sigma 2 did I play any 'real' version of the game, by which I mean not without the graphics nerfed. In comparison, the Vita port is fucking ugly, but relative to Sigma 1+ on Vita it was on-par, other than Sigma 1 kept a solid 30fps while 2 struggled to hold it. They kinda tastefully downgraded the game to OG Xbox graphics rather than a 360 game, which must have been a pain in the ass for their art crew to go over and reauthor every asset to reduce the polycount, textures/materials, etc.It still kept a healthy amount of shader effects though.
>>750238938Yeah for the helicopter fight on vita I didn't bother aiming, I waited until it flew under the bridge and ryu could hit with the face button
>>750238938really?
>>750241863Yeah, for some reason they included an option for shooting controls but didn't consider doing one for bow aiming. So the result is that you can aim the bow with the right analog stick but you can't turn off the gyro aiming so there's no point in using the manual aim since the motion sensor is just going to fuck with it unless you keep the Vita perfectly still while aiming. It's legimately baffling and you have to wonder how it passed testing.
how are these "pc" ports made by modders?
>>750239123>I waited until it flew under the bridge and ryu could hit with the face buttonIf I ever play the Vita version again I'll have to try that. That said I probably won't, there's a lot of shit that can be said about the Master Ninja Collection but playing it on the Switch is a less agonizing handheld experience than Sigma+ so if I ever feel the need to play NG on the go I'm more likely to play that.
