Ninja Gaiden II Freezing Temporary Fix

"If you're one of the people experiencing the freezing problem in Ninja Gaiden II since the last title update was released, we have the temporary fix for you! According to a majority of the people having this problem, you can play Ninja Gaiden II without any problems by deleting your hard drive's cache and playing the game offline. It might take some time for Tecmo and Microsoft to come up with a patch, so this solution might help you.

By deleting your game cache in your hard drive, all of your game updates will be erased, forcing you to download them again the next time you sign into XBOX Live. Here's how to delete your game cache:..."

Sometimes I wonder if developers couldn't just fix issues with a patch would there be so many problems with todays games and consoles. It used to be that they had to get it right the first time or they were screwed.

Kyur4ThePain6497d ago (Edited 6497d ago )

I do believe that is the case.
I HATE the fact that devs are able to put out patches and updates and what not because, as you say, they can always fix their problems later. It's a curse, not a blessing.

mirroredderorrim6497d ago

I agree with your header 10,000,000,000,000,000- etc - %.

Filet of Children6497d ago

We shouldn't need a bloody temporary fix, we should have a game that works. For $60 a pop, this kind of thing shouldn't be a concern.

juuken6497d ago

...Are you *kidding* me?
They can't guarantee a full fix for the game?

Nice going Microsoft.

TheDeadMetalhead6497d ago (Edited 6497d ago )

I know I've said this before, but I'm gonna say it again. And I'll probably say it in the future:

If I paid $60 for a goddamn game, then I expect it to work! It's the same way with GTA IV and the 60 GB PS3!!

Game companies shouldn't get the chance to fix their mistakes. Nor should they need to (...Wow! Nor sounds awesome! I'm going to use that more from now on!^__^). If they tested this stuff adequately and wasn't in such a goddamn rush to release it, then it would save game developers and the gamers themselves a lot of problems!

It's ironic if you think about it: As the cost for games and game systems get higher, the quality gets lower. And that's just not right!

When did video games go from being about quality and giving gamers a good game to play to an excuse to make money?

Tawnokoi6497d ago

Does anyone know if any other games are affected by the update?

(If not, I wonder why it's only NG2...)

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 :)

skcej3749d 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! :)

kotaku773749d ago (Edited 3749d ago )

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

FallenAngel19843750d 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

bacrec14053d ago (Edited 4053d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7774053d ago (Edited 4053d 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.

breakpad4053d 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

bouzebbal4053d ago (Edited 4053d 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.

johndoe112114053d 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.

freshslicepizza4053d 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.

AngelicIceDiamond4053d ago

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

joab7774053d 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.

700p4053d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath4053d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss4053d ago

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

KryptoniteTail4053d 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.
