The presentation of the story in NGS fails. I mean there's nothing cinematic about it. They don't even make effort to suck you into the story line of the game. It just relies on gameplay alone (which is amazing btw).

At the end of the day, I preffer Devil May Cry because of the story...and guns :D

i dont have a ps3, so i have nothing to say here, but a lack of a good storyline is worth complaining about, as a good storyline is one thing i really like in video games.

Yea for m storyline is very important in games. NGS doesn't lack one but its presented horribly.

for me story is everything. NG, while never actually playing it, seemed to present it's storyline well (the xbox one.), but I'll take your word for the remake having lousy presentation.

Honestly, I don't get how people play video games for stories when they're all, fundamentally, the same thing. Ninja Gaiden is a great game, plain and simple - I still play Black to this day!

Firstly, very lol at this. Acting like the new version isn't improved in every possible way.

But I agree the story isn't that great in Ninja Gaiden, but it isn't an RPG it's a hack and slash Ninja game, and for that category the story isn't that bad at all.

yeah ninja gaiden has a weak story, but so does devil may cry series so what are you talking about..

if you want stories play xenosaga trilogy, xenogears ,FF7, FF10, planescape torment, star wars KOTOR, and games like that....

action genre usually have weak stories or no story at all..

i hear prince of persia has a good story, and god of war has ok stories... even though they never go in depth....

The story in NG does leave a lot to be desired. So far, the only thing I've really taken from it is that Ryu is a cold hard@$$ jerk who does not value anything but his skills as a Ninja. If Team Ninja really wants to impress me, they'll actually give Ryu some kind of character arch. Break him, and re-mold him into something better. The "hero's journey" as my prof. called it in film study.

The presentation of the story in NGS fails. I mean there's nothing cinematic about it. They don't even make effort to suck you into the story line of the game. It just relies on gameplay alone (which is amazing btw).

At the end of the day, I preffer Devil May Cry because of the story...and guns :D

I thought cows think the DMC series sucks now because Capcom made4 multiplatform?

Hah, I bought and completed DMC years ago. Forgive me if the story isn't indented into my mind, I just didn't find it memorable. At all.

If you want story, then go read a book! Leave the gaming to people who actually appreciates the core elements of it.

Its ok, its not amazing but its adequte. To me the only Action/Adventure game of this style(NG, DMC, style) with a really compelling story is the God of War series.

Ehh...the story isn't that great to begin with. Just a bunch of nonsense about a sword, and some evil gods, blah blah blah.

I usually place story pretty highly on my list of features that make a great game, but Ninja Gaiden could have a story about LSD addicted Telitubbies on an adventure to kidnap Big Bird and I wouldn't care. The gameplay is just that good.

While story is nice and all, but NG blows DMC away in graphics and gameplay and in a platform action game, thats what really matters.

I just don't get why this can make a game bad. I mean in all seriousness the only games I have ever played with good stories were Starcraft and the MGS series. Yes they made the game better but a game having a bad story cannot make a game worse, because most of them are excuses for the context of the gameplay.

story for NG and DMC sucks.. no cinematics in the world could save the terrible dialogue and nonsense plots.
