Ninja Gaiden II gets A+

The Ninja Gaiden games on Itagaki's watch aren't about deep stories or philosophical quandaries, they're simply about walking into a room with the world's coolest weapons, outnumbered 10 to 1 by some of the most viciously intimidating bad guys in the universe, then walking out a minute later slathered in blood and going "whoa." To that end, Ninja Gaiden 2 represents the culmination of everything Team Ninja's been working toward for the last three years, an incredibly satisfying hack-and-slash that's light on plot but topped full of "superhero."

its called scifi channel, they are not really reviewers.

pharmd6563d ago (Edited 6563d ago )

scifi? get the fuk out..... i think this game will probly be great but scifi? cmon

whats next, animalplanet reviews Gears of War 2????

otherZinc6563d ago (Edited 6563d ago )

Someone took the grown-up toy away from the kids & wrote a review!

I just saw gametrailers video review and this game is everything I expected. The crying that goes on about the games difficulty, along with the hating on Tomonubu is ridiculous.

If GTA4 got a 10 from reviewers with the worst driving & targeting of the year, then NINJA GAIDEN 2 is a 10 even if it isn't for the weak.

BISHOP-BRASIL6563d ago

As a auto-entittled sci-fi site they weren't supposed to review much of the narrative? The narrative is as weak as it can be...

Even on the gameplay straight stand point, the game is not a 10 for the genre in my book.

Said that, I like NG on XB, it being much of the same is good news to me. I really think it deserve some better rates than 8's (not really in a scale 0 to 10, but in times that anythink too under 8.5 or 9 is supposed to be mediocre, no more than OK, it really is more than that).

Considering it's from 'Sci-Fi.com', chances are their opinion was heavily swayed by the...um...heavy swaying of a certain in-game character's 'assets'.

Says you6563d ago (Edited 6563d ago )

Is not really a gaming site? are they that desperate to give the game to any site that is not a game site so they can see there game got a A+ even though Metal Gear Solid 4 get some 8 people don't give there game to a site that is not a gaming site just to see there game get a A+

v1c1ous6563d ago

have to be a conspiracy to you guys?

it's not a real gaming website. fine and noted.

no need to bring MGS4, or any ps3 related subject, into this. it makes you look desperate :/

REbirth6563d ago

this time i have to agree with u...this is a kids site!
some sony fanboys just make me sick!
i mean...comon everything we see on the net positive for 360 or for ps3..and everything negative too become flame!! what a f*** is this..

guys... get a life! or just go play ur f***ing console!

kewlkat0076563d ago

when anything remotely positive for anything 360, all fanboys revert to some type of CONSPIRACY.

This time a SCI-FI channel has no business reviewing games...(always something I tell ya)

Go to Metacritic and see the types of sites that have given REVIEWS, as if this is SHOCKING or something. some of this site you never heard of, for many games.

So if this was MASS EFFECT or HALO being reviewed by this Site would we see the same fanboy BS?

LJWooly6563d ago

Even worse, is one side of fanboys thinking they're any different from the other. It doesn't matter waht console you support, you're all the damn same.

The exact same happens to positive PS3 news, just to a lesser extent, because there happens to be significantly more PS3 owners on this site (that's for a reason, by the way).

PS3 fans might make you "sick", but I'm pretty sure you have no qualms with the 360 fans who act exactly the same, am I correct?

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 :)

skcej3742d 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! :)

kotaku773742d ago (Edited 3742d ago )

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

FallenAngel19843743d 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

bacrec14046d ago (Edited 4046d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7774046d ago (Edited 4046d 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.

breakpad4046d 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

bouzebbal4046d ago (Edited 4046d 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.

johndoe112114046d 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.

rawrock4046d ago

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.

freshslicepizza4046d 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.

AngelicIceDiamond4046d ago

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

joab7774046d 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.

700p4046d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath4046d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss4046d ago

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

KryptoniteTail4046d 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.
