NG:S was dumbed down?

[QUOTE="alex77k"]

[QUOTE="chikenfriedrice"]I have been playing NG:Blk on my 360 and it's pretty difficult then I just started playing Sigma on my PS3 and it seemed so much easier in every way? I left them both on the default difficulty....so was Sigma made easier?killab2oo5

Yes, and the trend continues with NG2. It make sense since it is "lowering" the bar for casuals. With that being said, the hardest difficulty will be only for hardcores. So it is a win win scenario.

It's seems overwhelming at times... :?

dumb down? lol maybe at the first level but after that it gets really frustrating especially with the spider ninjas.

And actually the original was the harder version.

OhSnapitz

really...cuz compared to black it's been a breeze so far

But that's because you guys already played black... I assume that most of you are pretty good gamers to begin with.. And after getting the hang of black, Sigma couldn't really present that much of a challenge. The original kicked my ______ but after clearing it, the rest wasn't that bad.. My friends can't even get pass the first level..

Little bit. But sigma wasn't made for people who had already played NG. It was for new players. Hence why it was on PS3. Kratos_OMEGA

True True.Sigma is still alot of fun though.But its really just NG black all over again with nothing really that new.

I watched a vid recently where a guy got into combat and got knocked around a bit (he wasn't very good). At the end of the battle, he had less than 25% health, and it auto-regen'd all the way up to 80%. Any veteran of NG knows how much easier something like that makes the entire game.

Hopefully on higher difficulties, the regen is lessened a bit because that's a little too much.

really? I thought some of the reviewers were docking points cuz NG2 was too hard?

Camera angle issues, graphics werent a significant leap from sigma plus itagaki overhyped his game to the media saying nothing will be able to touch his game. In the end the reviewers found out it wasnt as all hyped out to be as itagaki said it would be. Yes the gameplay speaks for itself, but every other aspect of the game is nothing special as alot of these reviews seem to put it.

Unbalanced difficulty For Bosses. Basically some of the bosses are stupidly cheap. I have yet to fight any boss though...The demo didn't have any. And Camera issues. If this wasn't NG2 it would get AAA reviews, but with the hype and expectations, some reviews have been giving it lower scores due to these faults. as a standlone action game, it's still one fo the best of this gen.

What else is similar to Ninja gaiden this gen...DMC4? Decent but not as good as DMC3

yeah...it's been a slow gen for action games
