No wonder I had no type of hype or excitement for NG3. "sigh"..I guess it's safe to say that DOA5 is next in line now. ) =

What. The. Hell. That's a huge fall from grace. I wasn't going to get it, but the first was one of my favourite games last gen, and Sigma 2 was great.

I already wrote off the series after Itagaki left Tecmo and Team Ninja, still... even if a game sucks ass why give it a 3.0? I mean a 6.0 still says a game sucks and basically fans of Ninja Gaiden are going to get it anyways, but giving it a 3 just trolls the fans... wait a sec, think about this, every time people read like "Ninja Gaiden 3 got a 3?!" they're going to click the link which takes them to IGN which does what people (cha-ching!), gives IGN money for ad revenues because people are visiting the site, and the irony is the pissed off fans are probably going to get pissed and start commenting and that's going draw even more traffic to IGN making them more money... ***golf clap*** damn IGN, well played, evil genius sirs

Anyone who thought this game had a chance was lying to themselves.

Every preview screamed "garbage game by a garbage developer"

I bought NG Black instead of a Itakagiless NG3.

Uh. Why would they give a terrible game better scores than it desreves? It's bad. It's 3 level bad.

Unless you're joking completely, hard to detect sarcasm on this site.

...and I think it's sad people follow the IPs and not the talent behind them, just wait for Devil's Third people it is sad how people follow names though, not that talent, if a new Beatles album came out staring the mechanical band from Chucky Cheese people would end up buying it

This was actually a bit shocking to me. The game looked pretty bad, but not complete garbage. I was planning on skipping this one anyway.

Another game completly destroyed by PS3

PS3 only has casual games with auto shooting and jumping, like Uncharted, so developers make games for 2-3 year old gamers for PS3 and this destroys the experience for the real gamers on xbox 360

In theory. A 6 out of 10 isn't really suppose to be bad. It's suppose to be more like above average. Okay. Had good ideas, but didn't execute them. This is a bastard child disguised as a Ninja Gaiden game.

Looks like the last Team Ninja games that scored well are going to be Metroid: Other M (the most controversial Metroid to date) and DOA: Dimensions if DOA5 blows it next.

Worse. At least DMC2s initial ideas became a blue print on building the DMC3 battle system. In between all the garbage there was a good idea. This sounds like pure crap.

you say 6/10 isn't bad... guess you could be right, I'm not defending the game though I've no plans on getting it, but so far it's getting more generous reviews from other sources, I do think 3/10 is too harsh but again not complaining because I don't care, but IGN has been throwing some low scores out, for instance their Silent Hill Downpour review really took a hit to the MetaCritic and GameRanking average of the game, as the Ninja Gaiden 3 review will probably drag down the entire score, right now MetaCritic has 3 reviews which are two 80/100 and one 70/100 scores, not what I was expecting after seeing the IGN review I don't know what's up with IGN right now though, maybe all but one were buttsore they couldn't do the ME3 review or something, or maybe they're all playing ME3 anyways and everything else looks like crap by comparison

Even with the balance issues in the 2nd game(rush job) that combat was still arguably the best battle system in the genre. Killing a mother ****er in that game was just worth it. ALWAYS. And NGB is just action game bliss. How they decided that the combat should be gimped to .....that is awful. At least Metal Gear Rising looks fun(albeit a bit ...awkward?)

At least DMC4 had great combat. This looks like they sacrificed everything that made NG so good in favor of some story that they couldn't even execute properly.

lol Tecmo and the new Team Ninja deserve it. Maybe they and others will appreciate the old team more now.

Now let's find out what they do to Dead or Alive 5.

All the new teams good for is copy and pasting the original games or making a complete mess of it.

So basically Ninja Gaiden is dead. It's such a damn shame just how badly Team Ninja has fallen in the gutter without Itagaki. I have absolutely no hope in DOA5 as of this point.

OK. This is just stupid.

Nowhere in here is there a normal train of thought.

funny you basically said what I said in more words, that Team Ninja's and Ninja Gaiden's value was gone when Itagaki left...

Uh... you should have cried in 2008 then, bro.

Ninja Gaiden died when Team Ninja died.

Team Ninja died when Tomonobu Itagaki left.

NeonNinja
so if you're going to dis me at least do it with integrity and not repeat what I say the rest of the post that's obviously separated by the spacing is just a joking ramble about how IGN scores games lower than other reviewers to bring traffic to their site and thus increase their advertising revenue, then a half-joking point of how people upset with game reviewers only do them favors by going to the site and commenting... I wasn't aiming for intellegent, only mild gest, so get off your high horse
