Regardless of how this game turns out, it will be the best action game of the year. Free.
I have hope for this game. I’ve even been thinking about booting up NGS 1 or NGS 2 to mess around in lately. I played the DS game for a bit recently, it’s actually really good.
I still don’t like all that cinematic bullshit when killing people. Camera zooming in all the time is no bueno, specially if I need to keep track of enemies trying to kill me… then again it doesn’t look like enemies try to kill you too badly in NG3 so it might not even be an issue.
Did you like not play NG I & II? Both had a pretty deep combat system.
Like I said on this page already I haven’t played 2 and in 1 spamming flying swallow was the best way to kill anything if I recall correctly, haven;t touched NG since sigma launched.
The Flying Swallow hasn’t been the best way to kill anything since Ninja Dog in Ninja Gaiden Black. On Normal, every boss can block it, and on Hard, they added enemies that have anti-airs specifically for countering it.
If you haven’t played Ninja Gaiden Black then you haven’t played Ninja Gaiden.
Despite the differences, Sigma 1 is a great port/extension to black imo.
I want to get into this series, never really played them beyond the first game on the Xbox. Are the PS3 versions the best? I know they toned down the violence in Sigma 2, which I thought was a little lame.
PS3 NG1 isn’t exactly NGB but it’s still pretty damn good. Camera angle is the enemy as usual. I beat Sigma 2 which is easier than Sigma 1. I hated the giant bosses they added because those bosses added no substance. I didn’t care for playing as the other female characters because you don’t get to choose to play them, you’re pretty much forced into it when you’d rather play as Ryu himself. I went and bought Sigma 1 but I won’t ever buy Sigma 2 honestly. PS3 isn’t the “best” but Sigma 1 is satisfactory whereas Sigma 2 is tolerable but not as satisfying.
the ps3 Sigma 1 is a little awkward because it released when the ps3 still had that buggy interface and slow save times. It still requires you to save the old way even now. It does look way better than it’s XBOX1 counterpart but I don’t really remember too much about my experience other than getting my ass handed when playing Rachel. Sigma 2 is less violent but they chose to remove the extra limbs and heads flying around to speed up the overall framerate.
Anyways, I’m hyped as hell for NG3. I still have to put on my NG3 TE template I made. Still though, I wish the new era of NG was a little closer to the old skool. I loved NGII on NES, and it will always be one of my favorite games of all time.
Every Ninja Gaiden game has some big titted partner to help you out. Rachel was sick. If NG3 fails to deliver said titties, this is a no buy for me. Cmon Tecmo, don’t let me down.
Edit : I wouldn’t have any doubts about this if Itagaki was still on board.
They should have toned down sex or violence, not both. No one played NG2 because the blonde girl had a big chest. I’m open to NG3, but I’m sore about the idea of not dismembering hundreds of ninjas.
We didn’t play this series for its captivating platforming elements.
Why are people hyped for NGIII now? Is there some godlike gameplay footage I haven’t saw? I mean, I heard you can turn off QTE, but last vids I saw didn’t seem too impressive and that online mode looked laughably horrible.
I liked Momiji for some reason so glad she’s back. I enjoyed Sigma 2, but Sigma 1 was a better game. Never had an xbox to experience Black. I’m getting NG3 on “just because” status. But from what I perceived of the game it seemed to be shaping up into a relatively weak entry instead of the highly anticipated sequel that it was before we had info on the game.
Someone enlighten me.
I agree. From what I have seen of NG3 I’m disappointed. The game looks easy, enemies look dull, no dismemberment, combat looks boring. All these things the previous Ninja Gaiden games had done right(xpt dismemberment in 1), its like this game is not Ninja Gaiden at all. Its really baffling how they can destroy something that was great when they could just have built on top of NG2 if they are not sure of themselves that they can top it.
Don’t buy it unless you want Ninja Gaiden 4 to be the same or worse. Also if you haven’t played Ninja Gaiden 2 on xbox you haven’t played Ninja Gaiden 2.
Oh Ninja Gaiden is so much more then dismemberment. It’s hard core, nail biting battles with vicious, agressive enemies.
Not saying NGIII has these either mind you.
I guess I was more hyped when I saw the promo images but seeing that video geese pants put up and this one here

I don’t know. I can understand only using the dragon sword, that’s fine. The in-your-face stabbing is fine, as long as you can take damage while doing so to discourage doing it on every single enemy. I like how Ryu is on rampage mode but it’s lame not seeing everyone gang up on him. He should be under pressure the whole time. I’m hoping it’s only the build’s difficulty to show off the game. It hurts to see him climb up those walls all slow. When has he ever been slow at doing anything???
I have faith Tecmo will do it right, maybe because I lost faith into what Metal Gear Rising could have been. But now that MGR is having the Bayonetta team work on it, I’m sure it will be a good game, even if the story is going to be a big “fuck you” to everything Kojima had written…
That looks absolutely god awful.
It is much more than dismemberment.Although I remember all the body parts flying around, brains being shattered dismembered enemies trying to suicide bomb you. It was… beautiful. When you combine that with what you said the game becomes the near perfect action game.
I have no faith Tecmo will do this right, it is obvious they are going with the mainstream approach on this one. I guarantee you normal difficulty will be a cake walk.
Oh god that looks awful. Enemies aren’t even attacking. Rocket launcher guys MISS every damn time, guys with guns shoot above Hayabusa’s head. That zoom-in kill cam shit has to go from all games, just do the killing move without all the dramatic BS. They need to pump up that damage done to Hayabusa big time. Got hit by 2 rocket launchers and he lost like 10% health, what the hell. I hope that by new swords they mean new weapons that aren’t katana… because if you only get katana… yuuuuuck. I mean sure, I mainly used swords but Vigoorian Flails, Dabilahro, Eclipse Scythe, Unlabored Flawlessness were fucking amazing. lol @ the fucking auto-lockon bow. Good to see good ol’ Hayate still looking out for his bro though.
The second stage looks vastly better than the first though in terms of gameplay.
I also want to be able to turn off regenerating HP… though the fact that your total HP goes down the more you get hit is pretty nice I guess. Bosses look like they still hit hard so that’s cool, I just hope Hard and the rest are ball-busting hard like before (I don’t believe their claims that it is).
