WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS SHIT WAS SO GOOD WTF

I like 2 more.

even though i like it more out of the two, ninja gaiden 2 is definitely more flawed than black. black is basically perfect, it just sadly doesn't have the weapon variety and dismemberment mechanics of 2

i just wish UT spam wasn't the best way to play these games

What the fuck does Team Ninja do other than DOA nowadays?

These are still pure sex to use.

Nioh

An engine change mid development as the result of the publisher going bankrupt which also leads to the budget getting shafted. Apparently the Devil's Third builds on the Darksiders engine had wallrunning and shit.

They make Nioh now. I can't stand souls-like games so I'm pretty mad about it

"Souls-like" is not a genre. Nioh is an action RPG. It does have some influences from FromSoft's games but it's still very much it's own thing. Other than the diablo loot, it's closer to a regular action game than Dark Souls. I like Nioh, Ninja Gaiden, and FromSoft's action RPGs so I'm all good. I do hope Team Ninja makes another Ninja Gaiden at some point though but right now I'm highly anticipating Nioh 2.

It's not a genre but it was obviously inspired by it. I like it more then Dark Souls, but I want another ninja gaiden. Then again if they make it like NG3 I don't want it

Razor's Edge isn't bad at all, even if it feels way heavier and clearly more recovery on everything. Not that I know i'm going to get anywhere with that because you guys just ignore everything after Itagaki left anyway.

Razor's Edge is still in my backlog so I can't say anything yet. I'm sure I'll enjoy it as long as the core action is still good.

yes, it is

It's an extremely commendable patch job as far as mechanics go, the damage of the barebones-ass OG 3 was already done and it's easy to see why interest generally died there. The problems that carry over however is still the level design itself mixed with QTEs and gimmick sections. Enemies are crazy defensive and constantly parry. There's also a new grab counter mechanic where a surrounding enemy will momentarily glow red and allow you to just slice through them like butter. And as far as slicing and wet chunks go goes, RE feels so damn satisfying on that front as well, you can feel the power behind the animations.

To anybody that cares, this game just went on Xbox Back Compatibility. Also One X enhanced.

its great up until the water levels, and some of the lycan levels with the platforming/camera angles are annoying

really great game though shouldve been a REAL NG 3

Are the movesets changed a lot from 2?

Best of its genre. 4k on X.

Im thinking were back bros, stay based

>WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THIS SHIT WAS SO GOOD WTF
Snoyfags try to push the meme that their shitma games are better.
Snoyfags also push for DMC 5 because the VAs for that game love trannies.

A lot more movees were added, Vigoorian Flails and Enmas Fang got cut.

I love smashing faces and limbs with the Tonfas. Shame those didn't make it.

You better be using those tonfas motherfucker

That sucks though I never used those much anyways. I mainly stick with the falcon talons, lunar staff, and DCTF.

First 2 Ninja Gaidens are pretty unanimously praised on Yea Forums. If you had checked any of the Bayo/DMC/Godhand threads, it was probably mentioned

>buys new console
>best games are emulated old ones

Really says a lot about todays games.

Here's the other games you may want to check out now...

hi dominic

Hey, Dark Souls 3, Valkyria Chronicles 4, Cuphead, and Ori were cool

I disagree, I am a huge fan of NG, I played every version and enjoyed them all. Fuck, I even kinda enojyed Yaiba. But I only played Razors Edge for 3 and was so disappointed, I just dropped it halfway through.

The core gameplay is NOT the same. Essence farming is completely gone, theres terrible mechanics including that bone cracking thing. The enemies are designed to just be cheesed to be beaten instead having any real strategy. Even Hayabusa is a total fag in the game too, taking his mask off every 10 minutes to comfort his adopted daughterfu. If it was a brand new title, maybe it would have been decent at best, but as a Ninja Gaiden, its a complete failure and caused the whole franchise to die

isnt Cuphead the only exclusive it had out of those though? Even though, now its going to Switch anyway

Who cares about exclusives? Theres a dearth of interesting games to play on all platforms

But thats my whole point. PS4 and Switch are consistently releasing new and successful games.

Xbox's best games are emulated titles from previous generations.

it is, but this is good for what it was going for.

I think it's that twos flaws hold it back while Black was basically perfect. A perfected two akin to like Black 2 would have probably put it over the top though, in an alternate dimension Itagaki is still putting journalists in their place. Think Sekiro is hard, wait 'till they complain to me and I make it even harder.

There is nothing to play on the ps4 or switch either, stop kidding yourself. I look at the exclusive list and the only thing worth my time is bloodborne. If you like cinematic games or shovelware kids games, more power to you. But its not a valid argument for me because I'm not begging for ports of ps4/switch games

I completely forgot the Tonfas weren't in 3RE
/cgg/ was so dead until DMC5 came out, I'm sure there's some more games that could get added to this chart that came out.

considering their last foray into NG, it's better off dead, Itagaki was the soul of the series with his autism and sadism. Nioh pretty much guarantees they'll never make anything more until the souls fad dies down.

if you're new director shat the bed that badly that he had to revert back to his old bosses' direction, than yeah, I'd ignore whatever new thing you brought to the series.

Just because you dont like the games doesnt change the fact that they are successful and loads of people enjoy them. Not everyone is as picky as you

>God of War
>Uncharted
>Spiderman
>BotW
>Smash
>Bayonetta

My point still stands, Xbox only has Halo and Gears as moderately successful titles and has to rely on NG2 and Fable to sell their current generation console, which is absurd.

YESSSSSSSSS FUCKING NG2 X EMHANCED AND FABLE2 X ENHANCED FINALLY ALL I NEED NOW IS DARKNESS1 X ENGANCED AND IM SET HAHAHAHAH YEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

They made Hyrule Warriors and Dissidia NT apart from DOA and Nioh

Why are people like this?

Just play it

All shit to me. Uncharted? Spiderman? Seriously? I have a one x and a good pc, they compliment each other well. I would trade NG2 and Fable 2 for all those you listed and more. Just because you cant get a toy anywhere else doesn't inherently give it value. It has to be good. I have pizza places exclusive to my area and 8/10 of them suck. I don't brag to others I know online saying how jealous they are of the pizza places exclusive to me

>Why do some people enjoy things that I dont enjoy

Imhappy user, sorry.

Yes. only thing I don't like about it is the camera sucks sometimes

>god of war
I really can't see this game being anything more than a disappointment to the original series. No balls at all

>All shit to me
good for you dude, stick with hating on everything. Doesn't change the fact the Xbox is a dead console and game like the ones you hate will continue to be made regardless of biased retards like yourself

>I don't brag to others I know online saying how jealous they are of the pizza places exclusive to me

you fucking suck at analogies. Its a piss poor excuse for not having a valid counterpoint

>GOTY

never played any of these
do i start with ninja gaiden sigma on the ps3?

Attached: 1551799947145.jpg (333x327, 22K)

NG Black is the best, but Sigma 1 is a worthwhile version if you dont have access to it.

It is THAT good.

go ahead. it has more features, you may or may not like playing as Rachel. No NG plays similar to the rest, but differences are only more pronounced between 1 and 2

Sigma is just as good, if not better due to having extra enemies and chapters

cant get these games on pc. Rip.

oh shit, thanks for the info, installing as of right now.

sigma 1 is OK, but dont play sigma 2, go play ng2 instead.

The platforming segments are on rails with no challenge to them. The game lacks decent physics to accommodate its heavy focus on platforming, such as no indication of when Ryu is about the end a wallrun. They even messed up control scheme, such as when you are hanging and climbing down pipes, by making going forward not pressing up on the thumbstick, but sideways. As it is, the platforming sections are aggressive wastes of time that are neither challenging nor fun.
The camera does not work in the player's interest---they even acknowledge this by starting players on default lock-on when facing bosses, when otherwise the game is supposedly fine doing without lock-on. No, the truth is that the camera works against the player by not staying where you set it, but constantly slowly resetting itself to be facing where Ryu is facing, even when you're just walking. It's worse in combat, trying to tumble all across the arena while keeping your eyes set on specific enemies, especially since the camera is zoomed in so close on him.

As for gameplay, it's like Ninja Gaiden II was made to be a 2D platformer in 3D. The focus is on killing enemies as soon as possible, basically no matter how you do it. Cool, not bad. HOWEVER, the game provides you with bogus instant kill options basically starting when you've hit an enemy once or twice. Okay, whatever right? I can just not use them? No, because the instant kill option is hardcoded to one of your basic attack buttons and triggers as soon as you use, even if you intended a normal attack. Okay, I guess I just won't use Y when I delimb an enemy, right? No, because you are actively rewarded for spamming Obliteration Techniques, not just because it grants fucking invulnerability, but because it also gives you a massive point bonus (3000pts per OT) that translates into the amount of essence you get, which directly translates into your ability to unlock your moveset through weapon upgrades.

Attached: 1541872621189.png (456x392, 411K)

And Ultimate Techniques are the same thing---spam them as much as you can, get invulnerability, AND get massive point awards, on top of slaughtering scores of enemies. And don't give me that bullshit about "timing" them correctly so that you can "effortlessly" chain them together. The gameplay loop is smack smack till delimb an enemy, Obliteration Technique (AKA Install Kill) it, then charge a Ultimate Technique almost immediately by absorbing its essence, then let it rip through scores of mooks. That's it, besides spamming Flying Swallow and jumping around a lot. You barely even need to rely on parrying, not that it's a mechanic with a whole lot of depth to it here.

And the combos are bad too. It gets massive points for trying something new with action games and giving you a fuckhuge list like in 3D fighting games to work with, but they are largely all way too automated. They do way too much with simple button presses, leaving you to be able to get by simply by spamming different buttons and and alternating whether you hold forward or not. There's no depth to it. Even the Izuna Drop is reduced to alternations of Heavy and Light attacks with almost no directional input.
Magic is cool. But the game took no notes from Dead Or Alive 4. You just get generic blasts of energy that you can only use a few times before you can't anymore. These two grant you invulnerability during use, serve no purpose other than dealing damage; and to top it off, you're actually discouraged from using Ninpo by the end of stage score counter, which docks points if you have empty ninpo bars when you clear a stage.

Because the focus is on getting OTs and then getting UTs, the expanded movesets and multiple weapons are basically fucking useless. You pick the Talons, Dragon Sword, or your favorite, then just use that for a prolonged period of time until you get bored---not even forced to switch really, you just get bored---& cycle to the next weapon to do the same thing over again.

This game isn't good for styling either
What combos you're doing may LOOK cool, but everyone who's played the game knows it's completely unnecessary and maybe even detrimental to your play, nor is it hard to do.

Playing this game is simply not satisfying. It's not satisfying on a cuhrayzee character action game standpoint, because you are not rewarded for being cuhrayzee. And it isn't satisfying on its own terms as a "Kill everything in your path immediately" standpoint because it gives you way too many tools that win you the game and let you bypass the feeble challenges it puts up.

Ninja Gaiden II isn't that good.
It's okay, but you really need to temper your expectations going into it, unless your IQ hovers around 100 and you have no sense of game design.

No budget, switching teams and publishers, and engine. Pretty much everything that could go wrong with a game's development happened to it.

It's really good, but be warned that any segment involving the bow and swimming is fucking aids. Also there is no level select or NG+ for some dumbass reason

I don't think the ninja gaiden games or god hand belong in that chart. They're on a category of their own.

Steam version fucking when?
or does MS hold the rights?

So can you buy this shit digitally on xbone? If so how much is it

Attached: AD41DA57-C336-4358-8405-046C829577EE.gif (400x275, 1.07M)

you should be able, or buy a used copy of the game online.

NG I can see because it's much more efficiency focused. But why wouldn't GH. The first DMC should probably be lumped near the same category as NG.

> I have a one x and a good pc, they compliment each other well.
How the hell do they compliment each other well? It's a garbage trash combo. Jesus, the X has literally zero things worthwhile to play that you can't already get on PC unless your PC is trash to begin with. Even if Bloodborne is the only thing you find worthwhile on PS4 or whatever on Switch, which is absolutely limited shit taste, it's still 1 game more than X has. Why on earth anyone would own an X and a PC together over PC + PS4 or PC + Switch is beyond me.

Its not up for the US, but its up in the UK.
Apparently its 25$.
Its 10$ at gamestop, so I suggest looking there first.

How is NG(B) so good? 14 years later it is still unsurpassed in the action game genre.

>DMC 5 because the VAs for that game love trannies.

Now thats a lie. Is there any proof?

its a free remaster for those of us who still own the original game user, so why be bitter about it,

it strokes the player's ego

>start NGB and play, slaughter the enemies through 1st mission only to talk to the boss character who is friends with Ryu

>Start NG2, slaughter the ninja in the beginning just to talk to old man Muramasa.

I guess this is why Ryu doesnt have any friends, no one wants to invite this fucker to go out or else tons of people will die during his commute.

Mad ass snoygros who are mad as fuck i didnt contribute to the 100 million sales the ps4 has so i cant be used as ammo in their threads. You fags are pathetic, have sex sometime

It was great but the weapons can feel pretty samey. It needed more of a blend of Black's combat, something in between the two games would have been perfect. Those UT's while fun are way over the top.

what are you smoking, I just got the lunar staff right now and its completely different than the sword, and dont get me started with the Kusari gama or the vigorian flails.

Nah dude, legitimately. I have an Xbox, 360, PS3, Switch, PS4, DS, 3DS, GBA. Just saying, the X is just honestly one of the most worthless consoles around, especially if you have a good PC.

>put Windows 10 on One X
>sell 300 million boxes
????

not him but its only worthless if you bought an xbox one before that one. I also have all console and my pc is for work, I just dont like playing on the damn thing even though I have lots of steam games on it.

I have literally shilled this game for my entire life
I am almost tempted to get an xbone, but by almost I mean not even slightly at all.

>put entirety of xbox library (OG, 360, one) on windows 10
>shares skyrocket

All the weapons are combo machines in 2 and you will rely on UT a lot. In Black the weapons felt more different. You had the slower but very powerful greatsword. Nothing in 2 compares to it. You had the unlabored flawlessness as well. I guess to sum it more simply 2 is more button mashy even if it is more difficult. Black you needed to be more tactical in combat. NG2 really does sum up to hit and run tactics way more and UT abuse.

>do both
>the sky turns green

Apparently the Sigma games run well on RPCS3.

sigma 2 is garbo though. 1 is a serviceable substitute for black

relying on UT or not is up to the player, but yeah I do miss the greatsword, then again I think the Kusari gama is quite good and fun to play in this one which didnt exits in the first game.

oh yeah the greatsword and unlabored flawlessness are basically the same sword so no point in lumping to pad the weapons.

best stage track

it has waifus in it tho less enemies, and that's all that matters for playstation owners

>not on Play Anywhere and can't run on PC

I swear, it's like they know the Xbox is fucking useless and are just fabricating reasons to keep it alive

ahh well that makes sense, kinda like Senran Kagura was more story driven on 3DS and then when it moved to playstation it became less story driven and just cute waifus doing cute things

why the hate user, its a free remaster for xbox one owners who still have their xbox 360 games.
