Tecmo Koei Europe and Team NINJA have today delivered just what the fans where asking for: an all-new extreme difficulty setting for Ninja Gaiden 3. Available to download now, this latest addition to the popular videogame is simply known as ‘Ultimate Ninja’ difficulty.
Screen Rant Writes: Team Ninja knows fans want a new Ninja Gaiden game, but if Ryu Hayabusa is going to come back, there are some things that the series needs to fix.
- Better story, not that it has to be very deep though
- Better level design, on par or even exceed NG1
- Better enemies design, NG3's enemies design were boring and repetitive
Bring back the difficulty of the first game both 3 and Yaiba (yes I played that POS game) had laughably easy difficulty that it wasn't even funny.
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.
been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
Phil writes, "Sometimes all it takes is one game to make a long-running or promising franchise become dead in the water, maligned to irrelevancy and just a memory in the annals of gaming history. It's a dog-eat-dog industry where it doesn't matter if the franchise has been around for ages or for milliseconds--just one or two failures and you're done. That's the case with these franchises, all of which I'm sad to see are currently nowhere to be found. Whether any of these will return for a kick-ass comeback or not is up in the air, but what is known is that for many, these franchises met truly unfortunate ends."
For Tony Hawk's Pro Skater really the first 3 were really the only good ones. After that they sort of went downhill.
Klonoa was great but released at a bad time on just 1 system with no marketing. Razors Edge fixed many issues with NG3 vanilla and is a guilty pleasure. Another one that killed a franchise is Lost Planet 3. The better game was Japan only in EX Troopers on PS3. I also would say Marvel vs Capcom Infinite killed the series. I know it's less than a year old but the writing is on the wall. Silent Hill series as soon as Konami gave it to western devs and also made mobile spinoffs.
I loved the dead space 1+2 hated 3. Played through them so many times but found number 3 such a bore to get through, really hope they pick this back up.
This Game comes with so much dlc this is BullSh!t. it's not even a half game !!
dlc is a cancer that we need to rid from the world of gaming! developers are ripping us of by giving us incomplete games and releasing buggy ass games THANKS to DLC/online! lazy asses! ONE good thing I gotta say about the wii and 3DS at least you get complete games no DLC bullsh*t there.
This DLC wasn't planned from the start - it's a reaction to the reception from the fans. And it's free for early adaopters (the core fans).
You're reading this all wrong - this is one of the very few examples in which DLC is a BENEFIT to gaming.
That's too easy to come and say , here is the new difficulty now the game is good .
Difficulty was a huge part of what was wrong with the game but hardly the only single thing . And i doubt it would be enough anyway when the game clearly wasnt designed with that level in mind .
In short : too late
why is it...
NG XBOX
multiple weapons, multiple challenging difficulties
NG2 XBOX
multiple weapons, multiple challenging difficulties
DLC added a lot of extra content
NG3 XBOX
1 weapon, multiple difficulties, lacking challenge
DLC trying to finish the game
this is just bad if not the worst dlc offense yet imo
