Oh, so the horsemen are harder due to the lack of manually charged UT's?

I actually still prefer the original for a lot of things. Sure Black is by definition the better game, but that doesn't make it more fun to me. Hitman 2017 is the best in the series, but I like Contracts better. Splinter Cell 3 is the best, but I prefer the original. What I like more about NGO: 1) ...

We all know Black is the best of the original two. NGO was an unbelievably fun and challenging game rendered nearly obsolete by Black, what with all of the additions and fixes. However, there are a few things that are better about the original. For me, new game plus and the Intercept move are two of...

I ended up pushing on. Might as well see how the rest of the game plays out. I agree with those saying the combat is the highlight; even though they also fucked that aspect of the game up (imo) it's still working off the Ninja Gaiden template thus making it inherently fun/engrossing. Back to fightin...

I'm playing NG3:RE after several years of ignoring it due to trying and HATING (so much, oh so much) the vanilla NG3 and I'm at the infamous and unbelievably retarded dino boss and I am just wondering if this is worth the effort? This game so far is just long, overly drawn out gauntlet style battle ...

My first experience with modern NG was playing the OXM demo for NGO in early 2004 (11 years ago now.....crazy). I had been waiting with bated breath to get my hands on that demo as Ninja Gaiden had been my favourite game series since the NES days and the day it was released I drove all around town t...

It's crazy that something this major is being discovered this many years into the modern series.

Why do you say that?

Realistically, I think maybe the new team ninja might be able to pull off a good reboot or sequel (I guess) if they just took their time, listened to the older fans and revisited the older games for inspiration. And maybe they could make a new 2D downloadable/handheld entry that wasn't total ass. Id...

Same. So creative.

Hey man, great job! If I could only offer a single critique it's that you took the coward's way out with taking that very last greater elixir :P I kid of course, but I did cringe a bit when I saw you use it. I, as do many of us here, have an aversion to using healing items in these games unless it i...

Just a thought: it woul'd be cool if you could disable UT's via menu I wouldn't mind that. A cheat / options menu that modified different stuff, something like the skulls in Halo games, I suppose, could be very cool in an NG game. If they spent enough time working on it, they could even be incorpor...

It's better but I still hate the fact that fights are long gauntlets, throws are way OP and enemy health is far too high. Also, input lag is still present (much reduced, but present) and you lose upgrades when you die. I beat both Chapters and stopped for now. Not sure if I want to keep playing it o...

I just replied to this on gamefaqs but I'll post it here (although I doubt many people here need my advice lol). I used Ryu so it's at least different than the great advice given above: I have thus far only completed Race 01 but I can offer some tips as I played it with Hayabusa rather than Rachael....

I can't believe what has been happening to this series the last few years

I'm impressed, I must say, but of course clever editing can conceal a lot.....

Case in point ^ this post. The major problem is that gamers for indepth games nowadays simply understand the games they play much more so than the developers who make them. It is simply a matter of time until hardcore gamers are regularly hired for influence over development, it's already happening...

I am not convinced at all from reading both reviews. How is it that IGN's review praises the game, while destructoid's basically trashes it.. I'm not sold at all. If they didn't improve auto targetting and all of the core mechanics problems that I heard about, I don't want this crap on 360. :p Stil...

Are you still playing this game?

I'm slowly making my way through it. I am curious as to why there is a lack of leaderboards. Anyone know why that is?

So the stupid on rails crap is still in?

Ugh.

The fact is that any one of us, who's played NG over the years on the harder difficulties, could come up with a formula for a badass successful NG game in about a day or two. . WOW really you think you can do it better in two days , start your kickstarter ill pay you jajajajajajajajaja :coffee: To ...

WE HAVE A HERETIC! GET HIM!

Master PG wrote:I can't see it, says the content is blocked

Similar situation here.

Agreed. The core of NG3's design outside of combat is so far removed from what makes the first game great (and the second as well, to a lesser extent) that it needs a lot more of a redesign to make these changes really worthwhile.

Just sell the intellectual property rights to Valhalla and be done with it already!
