Is Lost Odyssey as frustrating as Ninja Gaiden II?

I think I just about had it with NGII. Once I made it to the green tunnel (chapter 8?) I had enough. A game is not worth playing if you're going to get all worked up about it and possibly raise your blood pressure. Whatever.

its pretty boring in the begining it gets good though after about 2 or 3 hours but its not real hard (im at the end of disk 1)

i like your stance on the hard games but NG is notorious for being difficult ya kinda knew that going in i hope lol

LO has a few parts that can be hard , but it is nothing a little grinding can't solve if you get stuck . You shouldn't have any trouble with any of the main storyline parts either . At least nothing in the realm of how frustrating NG2 can be .

If you like Jrp's or rpg's in general , i don't think LO will be a bad choice for you .

Lost Oddysey can be frustrating but for different reasons.

1) the game starts real slow

2) Random battles can get repetitive

3) Mini puzzles ARE annoying

4) Frequent load times with repetitve animation (when you pick up stuff, at the start of the battle, etc)

However, as my first xbox game I find it ok. I am on disc #2, and I am ready to move on to Mass Effect. Maybe I will finish it some day.

o to add on to top of alexs post the battle intros take like 20 seconds literally lol also someimes the music goes out idk if its just my copy.

but yeah alex go pick up mass effect its way better

What difficulty were you on, in NG2?

LO is only frustrating with the random battles. I wouldn't say it's really hard...It just gets tedious and repetitive. It's a good game though.

Mau-- Path of the Warrior.

I don't necessary suck but my motive to play through it is not there. I'm just not feeling it like I did with the first one. NG2 annoyances are preventing me from accomplishing a purpose and fulfilling a desire-- thus equals frustrating in my book:) I'll check out LO. Thank you gamers for the 411.

LO is an RPG, it's not based on reflexes like NGII is. NGII reviews stated it would be hard. Doesn't NGII have a "Casual" setting? This is one of the reasons I haven't bothered with NGII. A lot of Japanese action games make them too hard & I wonder if it's just to slow you down from getting finished with it too quickly. I think you'll find a lot of enjoyment with LO. I plan on getting that myself.

NG IS hard, though it isnt by any means frustrating, if you cant beat it, it means you suck.great_rulo

So it doesn't have an easy or 'casual' setting? Even Ikaruga has an easy setting on it & it's one of the hardest games on XBL arcade.

Haven't played NGII but played LO. Epic game BTW.

LO seemed to get hard in stages. Rather than gradually getting harder it woudl go from everything being really easy to everything being really hard. Then you level up, learn how to fight them, and then it's really easy for a while. Not sure if I cared for that type of gameplay.
