Ninja Gaiden 2 is clearly superior due to the Buckets of blood?

Gee, it's incredible what you can do with an extra year of development time and no backstage drama going on during your development.If the game is still as cheap as the original, I want no part of it. Part of the reason the orginal was so great was that it had great balance. The sequel is horribly cheap.

I only thought it was a couple bosses that were cheap, the normal enemies and most bosses seemed fine. As for the TC, I don't care for the other characters they are lame if you ask me, especially the woman in the black, the only interesting thing sigma 2 has is co-op. Also I rather the blood than the purple stuff. Could the PS3 not handle it or something? Or do they just believe children are the only ones who own PS3s...

Yeah, I liked the excessive blood splatter. It isn't a dealbreaker for me though. I'm more concerned about the balance than anything else.I may give it a try, but it really isn't on my to do list anytime soon. There are way too many other games I'd rather play, especially since I played the 360 version awhile ago.

Yea I agree the pacing and balance is a bit off, especially the final part of the game.. so cheap and I'm with ya on the other games train, there's dragon age, borderlands, AC2 and lost planet 2 for me to play.

I could care less about the "blood",but at the same time,I could care less about the "extra features" either.

My main concern is if they dumb down the game's difficulty.because if they do,i'll stick with that "inferior flop", that's the more hardcore experience. ;)

The game isn't hard at all.. some of the bosses are just insanely cheap and some instances of fightning enemies are poorly balanced.

I think the game isn't as cheap as people make it out to be..yeah some of the bosses do kinda fall in the "cheap" category but at the same time, perfectly beatable.

No, it's the children who love this stuff. Smart adults like myself know that this is perverse and sexual marketing.

I rather be the immature pervert that enjoys touching boobs than the mature pervert that enjoys touching blood but hey different "strokes" for different people.

NG2 was an unfinished game, performance wise. It felt like a rushed product (which is was due to Itagaki's problems with Tecmo). Sigma is clearly that what NG2 was meant to be in the first place, minus the bucketloads of blood. I'm looking forward to this.

This games looks fricken sweet.... Good replacement for DMC, as DMC 4 disappointed me so much...

Sigma 2 will clearly be better, no doubt.

[QUOTE="Midnightshade29"] Only lemmings don't want the game,enygma500

It's probably because they play a version of it a year ago. Extra content or not, to some people it isn't enough to go back to it. Extra content isn't enough for PS3 fanboys to want to play GTA 4, why should it be different here?

Well for 1 GTA 4 sucked. That last GOOD GTA was 3 imo. The series has just gotten stale. And I've given GTA more then enough chances. The game just dissapoints across the board. for me.

Of course, all cows hate GTA 4 because they aren't getting the DLC. Yet, they now love NGS2 because of the additional content.

watched more video of the new NG for PS3, yes less blood, still enough blood for me! Not as much but still looks beautiful, not overdone with the great background drops

If I want to play Ninja Gaiden 2, I'll play the real one. Not the fake ass purple ninja big boobs censored lameified T rated kids version. With co-op...

Screw yourselves Tecmo and Team Ninja, Forever. Lamified assclowns ruin my favourite series...

Is there a burn Tecmo to the ground option?

that's one angry squirrel. calm down,i dun remember the fanboys being so upset when NGB or NGS were announced, why now?? you got you version and we(PS3 owners) will get our fake censored SUPERIOR version, happy now?

Count me in as another who dislikes the reduced gore. Presentation is (was) a huge thing for Team Ninja (with Itagaki), and they removed the excessive blood so they could get a lower rating. Lame. Judging from the videos, the combat in the original 360 version actually looks more fun because of the visceral presentation.

Think presentation doesn't affect gameplay? Fire a shotgun in Gears of War, then fire a shotgun in Mass Effect and tell me which one is more fun to shoot. Goes for all games.

[QUOTE="jg4xchamp"][QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"]

I own Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and if that's anything to go by, I sure as hell ain't lauding the values of non-Itagaki additional missions and weapons. I'm sorry but the extras in Sigma were ass.

NGS 2 may be the overall better version, but it's probably gonna be the less potent as well.

Also, ****ing co-op in Ninja Gaiden? Wtf?!

Swift_Boss_A

agreed, thats just coop for the sake of throwing in Coop. It doesn't always work well if the game doesn't lend itself well for coop. I'm not sure how giddy cows would be over God of War 3 having coop

GOW3 co-op would fail, Kratos needs no partner. I feel co-op makes sense in Sigma 2, it's good that the co-op missions seperate to the main story though. Hate on it all you want but its definitely huge for the game.

Um, if Kratos needs no partner, that goes doubly so for Ryu.Ryu isn't just a ninja. He's a Super ****in' Ninja. Big difference.

But that's not the point: co-op in Ninja Gaiden sounds lame. Ninja Gaiden didn't leave room for co-op. It's hack'n'slash/action-adventure nature was made purely for a single player experience. It looks tacked on.
