9 days before MGS4. I hope i can finish it in time. I doubt it though lol ninja gaiden will probably kick my a$$. Prob won't beat it for a month. So i will have to play it bit by bit

PS360WII6551d ago

juggling games is always fun! Keeps them interesting well unless you can't put the other one down ;)

FirstknighT6551d ago

Well I'm hoping they keep the level of difficulty pretty high just like the first one. If that's the case than their is no way you'll be able to beat it in 9 days.

heyheyhey6551d ago

yeah difficulty was one of the best things about NGS

destroyah6551d ago

Uh. I beat Ninja Gaiden Sigma in 12 hours on hard mode.

fenderputty6551d ago

on hard in about 19 hours. I'm sure it's do-able in nine days, it's just going to be one hell of a gaming marathon.

BenzMoney6551d ago (Edited 6551d ago )

I don't doubt that you were able to beat it in as few hours as you said because Sigma was significantly easier than the original Xbox version of NG, and certainly much easier than NG Black.

I remember getting stuck in the xbox version for days on a single level. Of course I wasn't playing ALL day, but you get the idea.

But yeah, anyways... trust me, both the original & Black (the ones actually done by Itagaki's team) were much more difficult.

...and if you don't trust me, go ahead and google it.

CRIMS0N_W0LF6551d ago

i beated NG (Normal) 1st time in 9 hours -_-

Kleptic6551d ago

Sigma seemed twice as easy as either Xbox 1 versions imo...although the Rachel stuff was more annoying than anything...I probably beat sigma on normal difficulty in 10'ish hours I would say...rented it for 3 days...spent 3 evenings with it...thats all I remember...

NG2 should be great though...

CRIMS0N_W0LF6551d ago (Edited 6551d ago )

I agree rachel was plain annoying and boring.

[/sarcasm] Sigma was more easy then Black due to controller [/sarcasm]

Glad to be a gamer6550d ago

I take back what i said although you are obviously Sony bias you are not and i quote "a rabid fanboy" Guess i got the wrong end of the stick because i kept seeing your negative comments in 360 section.

Cant believe its just round the corner i wanted to finish sigma first but i may have to play it afterwards not to mention mgs4.

Looks like come june its gonna be a great time to be a 360/ps3 owner. Now to play the game of getting enough money together.

gambare6550d ago (Edited 6550d ago )

NGB being harder than Sigma, I tossed my control twice thanks to the frustration, it took me two days (48 hours) to finish black.

mikeslemonade6550d ago

NG2 is possibly the most overated game of 2008 in front of GTA4. It caters to the NG fan and doesn't evolve to what a next gen NG should be.

If only this game could come on PS3 :( Oh well you win some and you lose some. I have no doubt this game is going to be great!!!

decapitator6551d ago

I know this will win the bloodiest game of this year without a doubt.

Kleptic6551d ago

will be between this and Gears 2 without a doubt...but something tells me Gears 2 is going to be beyond anything ever released in terms of gore...

heyheyhey6551d ago (Edited 6551d ago )

Danja6551d ago (Edited 6551d ago )

Um...srry dude but this game aint no gem...NG:Black was...

Edit:@heyheyhey

Alpha_Gamer6551d ago

come on man, you must not have a soul. NG2 will be pure, bloody awsomeness. In fact, I am doing the exact same thing as heyheyhey. My best friend has a ps3. Thats how I will be able to play MGS4. :)

FirstknighT6551d ago

Yup...I done that too. My cousin has a ps3 and we switch consoles a few times. I played Motorstorm and Warhawk and also played and beat Resistance. Also played Heavenly but didn't like it.

DarkOcelet3656d ago

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej3655d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku773655d ago (Edited 3655d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19843656d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13960d ago (Edited 3960d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773959d ago (Edited 3959d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3959d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3959d ago (Edited 3959d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113959d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

3959d ago
freshslicepizza3959d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3960d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773959d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3959d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3959d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3959d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3959d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
