Ninja Gaiden

Going through a bit of a spectacle fighter trend atm and I was looking at addressing one of my biggest gaming oversights by getting into the NG series. Only ever played a little bit of Sigma on PS3. How is NG2? Is GoD the best place to get Black? And is
NG3 really that woeful?

:)

 

What is the hardest game(s) that you've beaten?

This is the one of the few games that made me want to throw my controller though the T.V.! Lol. Ninja Gaiden, Ninja Gaiden Black, and Ninja Gaiden two are AWESOME games!

Peace, J.R.

 

Games you miss

Ninja Gaiden 2, Ninja Gaiden 3 RE and Mass effect, and Darksiders.

 

I liked both 1 and 2 but 3 is complete garbage and I wouldn't waste money on it.

 

People say NG2 is hard i breezed through it... Guess im just highly skilled at gaming.

 

"Ninja Gaiden 2" is an excellent game.



"Ninja Gaiden: 3" is better than some people give it credit for but hardcore "Ninja Gaiden 2" players did not like it.



Tecmo then released "Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge" which expands the movesets, adds weapons and lets you play as Ayane and Momiji.



If you get a copy of "Ninja Gaiden 3" make sure it's "Razor's Edge".

NG2 is excellent, best combat in the series (imo). Avoid 3 and get Razor's Edge instead as it's a massive improvement over vanilla NG3 and the combat engine is far better. GoD version of Black is fine but expect to wait a good 5 minutes for it to load up
initially, it's showing it's age though and it's a much slower paced game than the others, definitely worth playing though.

Breezing through it on easy doesn't count step it up to Mentor/Master and you'll change your tune.

 

Thanks, I'll probably start with NG2 as it's bargain bin fodder in most places now. When I played Sigma it did seem a bit dated but I'm used enough to old games anyway. I'm just so burnt out on DMC now and Revengeance just doesn't feel as good or as smooth
as that series.

 

Holy crap:

This looks bad, think I'll skip this one lol

 

There are demos for NG2 and Razor's Edge, get some practice in on those. The NG2 demo is a slightly cut version of the first chapter. You get a few weapons to play with but they are maxed out so their move set is different than you begin with in the full
game.

The RE demo on the other hand starts you with 2 weapons for Ryu that you level up by playing and upgrading yourself, anything you upgrade in the demo carries over to the full game if you choose to import the demo save data. You play as both Ryu and Ayane
in the demo so anything unlocked with either character will carry over.

As for Yaiba I'll play it but it's absolutely going to be a bargain bin buy, so about 2 weeks after release then!

 

Ok, well Black and the NG2 demo are downloading. Looking forward to sucking hard at this game.

 

NG2 is absolute solid, well for me anyways !! Sometimes I feel when your fighting you actually lose track of the guy your controlling but good luck with it I did go back to it and Shigurui was always there with great advice so any probs you do have always
come back here and he will help you out !

 

Well I beat the first mission of NG2 on path of the warrior skipping acolyte mode because I already played that in the demo. The combat is fun and fast but the framerate and camera is an absolute mess, a little disappointed by that to be honest especially
as it isn't even that good looking a game.

Will have a look at Black later.

 

I'm going to play Black first I think. On mission 4 now and it's opening up. I've unlocked that flying swallow thingy you do when you jump and press Y and also a really awesome attack called Izuno Drop where you juggle them in the air and piledrive them
into the ground. I think I'm going to be doing that a lot. I've got counter attacks unlocked now as well so the combat has sped up considerably from where it was in the first mission.

Having a bit of deja vu as well because a lot of this is familiar to me from Sigma.

 

You should try Dante's Inferno if you haven't already...
