Ninja Gaiden

[Ninja]

I wanna know, what are you thinking about Ninja Gaiden?
I find, it is a really hard, but cool game, so I like to play it...
But my parents don't allow me the new version, because it is only for adults 

 

[Sir Prince]

Never played nor seen it.

What kind of game is it?

That's what you get for living in Germany.

 

[Ninja]

Yeah, really terrible!
There are so many games, which I wanna have, and which I can't buy!

Ninja Gaiden is hands down the best game of it's type I have ever played.

The learning curve is extremely steep, but at some point, things just click, and you get better, and better, and better, and you pull off insanely awesome ****.

Alma is a ****, btw.

(Someone is going to kill me for saying this)

It's basically Devil May Cry with Ninjas and more blood & dismemberment.

Someone never played it properly.

Can't really say I'm all that into anime-style fighting... It might of course just be the YouTube video, but the game looked kind of generic console brawler/slasher -ish to me.

 

[Archonsod]

It is.

 

[Cleaning agent]

If it's anything like Tenchu it'll be novel at first and boring by the end.

If it's anything like the average "beat up lots of stuff for a long time" games it'll bore you out of your mind from a few seconds after the word Go.

 

[TehGherkin]

It's one of the few games that actually rewards skill.

 

[Archonsod]

Pfft. Gainful employment also rewards skill, but I wouldn't say I derive much fun from working.

I've never played it, but I have watched my friend play it. The game also has a reputation of being very difficult. I don't know why a game like this can't require skill just like a game like Civilization. Just 'cause it isn't cerebral doesn't mean it's doesn't require skill.

 

[Archonsod]

I didn't say it didn't require skill, merely that requiring skill is no indication of whether something is actually good or not.

Eh, I've always gotten enjoyment from playing difficult arcade games. There's nothing quite like beating a level after 20 tries. The frustration usually pays off in the end.

 

[Cleaning agent]

Yeah but from the looks of the game there's very few moves. I bet the combos start with one or two button presses and then it's just a case of mashing them over and over.

I like fighting games where combos can be linked up in any number of different combinations (eg Like Soul Caliber does, but in a free environment.) they're sadly hard to find.

...You never played the game, did you?

Seriously.

Chill. Maybe it's awesome, it just seems to me the guy's using the same "dodge, attack dodge" routine as you find in any of these kinds of games. (Like God of War 2. You could spend the whole game rolling and you'd basically never get hit)

Really, play the game, I'm not having a go, I'm just pointing out that you're horrifically wrong (Due to ignorance in having not played the damn game)
