The only other gripes about Ninja Gaiden II are the recycling of bosses and fighting two different bosses back to back. The former isn't totally bad since you should already have a good idea of how to beat them, but it's disappointing in one of those "No, you should be dead already" kind of ways. As for the latter, this isn't necessarily a complaint about difficulty as it is about convenience. One of the worst feelings in the world of video games is to spend thirty minutes or so fighting a tough boss, only to realize that you have to fight another boss right after that without a save point in between. So, don't even think of turning off the system to go do something else. You're going to have to beat that second boss unless you want to have to go through the pain of fighting the first boss all over again.
It's these very moments in the game that caused GameTap to say, "You have got to be kidding me," but the aggravation only made the sense of accomplishment that much greater. And that is perhaps Ninja Gaiden II's greatest asset--not the pretty graphics or the gratuitous violence. And if you're one of those people sitting on the fence about this game because the original was so hard, don't worry. While Ninja Gaiden II is a difficult game, it's also far more forgiving than the original (particularly on the acolyte setting) and it gives you ample opportunities to beef up your skills and become a master ninja.
Pros: Excellent gameplay; nice variety in the later levels; great difficulty curve.
Cons: Story isn't all that interesting; camera can get in the way; few framerate hiccups here and there.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 debuted in 2009; ahead of Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty's launch, it's time to look back at one of Tecmo Koei's best titles.
With the release of games now slowing on the PlayStation 3, Twinfinite take a look at the 10 hardest platinum trophies on Sony's older system.
I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.
Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.
I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.
Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme
One of my proudest trophies :)
yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)
Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game
I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

What is your best score in Overkill mode (online ranking rules) ?
"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes
So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.
It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.
eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy
i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.
Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?
This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.
From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.
from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.
lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.
The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.
It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.
I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.
Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.
I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
The general complaints thus far seem to be:
-Camera
-FrameRate
-Story
Hopefully the FrameRate problems aren't persistent throughout the entire game,i.e Only occur in very specific and uncommon situations.
So far it seems to be far from the flop PS3 fanboys were hoping for with that score of 7".
I'd probably be looking for payback too! if I was a rabid PS3 fanboy upset looking for ways to redeem Haze or atleast saving some face.
hahah fanboys the 360exclusive can never flopp like haze /lair /uncharted/haevenly sword, warhawk, and ,many man ymore that were average at best for the genre and also ofc they would moan at the camamra /diffulty as the 1dst ninja gaiden wasthe 1st to take it to new heigths lie what itagki did with the xbox 1 game it was revolutionary so ofc it will acore better even if its not a great game just liek halo 1 comaprd to 3 halo 3 is a much better game than halo 1 but halo 1 was the 1st and will alwys be loved same with ng2
condilca rice no 1 has mentiion the story only the troll review wich said it was not great liek any hack and slash with depth has a great story ( gow had 50% gameplay and 50person real time events but i must say i like god of war even ho ive never played the game and its not really a true hack and slash its look sliek a blast the cutscenese and not to mention i love kortos cause he is a black dude and he is bad ass but ng2 /ng1 will alwys have better gameplay than god of war
What I don't get is, why can the PS3 pull off a solid 60fps at 1080p in NGS and NG2 can't do a steady 30fps???
Whats the screen rez for NG2?
if you're a pu55y, this game isn't for you!
