So, how many of yuo have beat NG for xbox1? Do you think that the next one will be as punishing in difficulty as the last one and if so, will you still get it?

I heard they're supposed to make an easier difficulty for it. I believe I read it in game infomer a couple months ago.

Hope this game is as good as the first or better. I thought the difficulty was okay in the last one just took a bit of getting used to, after a few days i was running around merking with ninja skills.

Really hard and outstanding game, but they need to make it more accessible so I suppose they will have an easier difficulty even though they called it last time Ninja DOG difficulty :D

Right, here we go.

4 difficulties: All titled way of the something.

Way of the acolyte, the easiest, is easier than Ninja Dog.

Difficulty 2, I forget the name of the rest, will be for those who have completed NGB/NG. Probably slightly harder than normal, and due to the health system tactics and difficulty will change anyhoo.

Difficulty 3, around the same as between VH and Hard I think, a step up from difficulty 2, but...

DIfficulty 4, harder than master ninja.

Thats around right.

I had read that NG2 was going to be much more difficult, depending on the selected setting of course. But that's part of the appeal of this game. To the hardcores especially. How many times has Ryu died for you? Probably too many times to count.

I hope the diffulculty is as hard as the first if not harder. It gets easier playing though it the third or fourth time, even on the harder diffulculties. I love Ninja Gaiden and cant wait for NG2. I hope the final boss is harder though, and maybe the game could be a little longer.

The controls are so good that if u ARE that good you can probably get through the game without any rebirth items, so it's easier than ppl say. But since sigma was easier than the original I bet it will be even easier this time around.

I couldn't agree more.

The only people who say the first was too hard is those who gave up half way through. Everyone finds NG hard the first time. The more you play it the better you get at it. Just don't give up and eventually things just start to "click" and you find the best way for you to play it.

I've lost count of the amount of times I've beat NG and NGB. Ninja Gaiden Sigma is the reason I bought a PS3 earlier than I wanted to. HELL YEAH I'm getting NG2 and I hope it's hard as ****.

I hope it's more consistent. Sometimes the game would be fairly easy, and then all of a sudden you get stuck on something seemingly impossible, turn off the console before you break something and don't ever play it again.

I didnt enjoy beating the first NG. People shouldn't feel that way. It was so frustarting. At least in the sequel, youre fully healed when you reach a save point.

I will probably get shot for putting this in a NG thread, but you guys give DMC 4 chance? If not, hopefully it will tide you over till NG 2

NG2 is supposed to be harder. But they have a difficulty setting to make it easier. Beat the 1st one, can't wait to beat the 2nd one.

I think it's really stupid to offer these really easy difficulties. That's why Sigma was not very good. It was too easy. I had to beat the game to unlock to other difficulties. By that time I did not want to play through again and sold it.

I hope Ninja Gaiden 2 is very hard like the Original one on Xbox.

i think calling NG hard is inaccurate. it would be better to call most other games too easy. most other games just get cheap with harder difficulty's. the thing that i think made NG seem so hard was unlike most every other game even the very first enemy you fight in that game has the ability to destroy you if your not playing with a degree of skill.

it's like in the most recent Castlevania games. when you first start even a lowly skeleton takes a few hits to kill, but by the end of the game your taking down 4-5 of them with one well placed attack. now some of that comes from skill acquired while playing the game but most of it is do to the fact that your character gets stronger while the enemy's don't. even by the end of NG with all your new weapons and attacks that first ninja could still kill you in about 5-10 seconds if you don't play smart. and that helps keep the tension the whole way through weather your fighting 1 or 10 enemy's.

i say again, NG isn't harder then other games. it's smarter then most.

I kinda agree. Sigma was really easy for an experienced NG player on Normal. The extra save and shop locations in Sigma will save a new player's ass many times. The combat also felt easier.

Once you start playing Sigma on Hard that's when you realise it hasn't lost any of its difficulty. I'd say Sigma is harder than Black on Hard difficulty. I'm just starting Very Hard so I can't comment on that.

You should've played Sigma on Hard. Even if I didn't want to play it straight away I wouldn't have sold it. I'd have just came back to it in a few months. Maybe you needed the money to buy a different game?

I've beaten all Black missions, and the main game at least 10 times (I didn't count). I've beaten normal, hard, very hard, and master ninja and frankly, I hope the next game is even harder.
