Siliconera:Team Ninja is one of the early third party Wii U developers and when we met with studio head Yosuke Hayashi we asked him we he thought about Nintendo’s new console.
Saad from eXputer: "Team Ninja's stories may not appeal to everyone due to their barebones nature but they deserve credit for being fun."
Exputer dude says Team Ninja needs more credit for their stories (what their known for) and credit for being fun (also known for challenging and fun gameplay). Team Ninja gets a LOT of credit. That's why they keep making games. You just can't expect everyone to award them the attention-level and regard that you think they deserve.
"I’m aware that some things are often not for everyone. Not because someone is actively gatekeeping but due to the product or premise failing to appeal to the masses" - Hmmm l dunno, sounds kinda like we are about to go for a cruise down gatekeeper blvd to me.
Takeaway, Exputer as a pimple gaming journal site that should not be concerned about the recognition standards of a studio they have zero involvement in. You perspective is outsider and totally disconnected from reality as far as how the industry sees them.
Takeaway 2, Exputer is only in about a generation deep into Team Ninja. Posers. Take your gate keepy BS and shove it. We know what makes team ninja great and they are doing just fine doing what THEY do.
Every branch under Koei Tecmo is talented I am a big fan of theirs no matter what the game is or who makes it.
I thought Nioh 1+2's stories were fine, nothing amazing but they kept me interested. William and the Protag in 2 were pretty cool. Wo Long was ok I guess but it just felt like another retelling of the three kingdoms again which we've seen told so much in video games and especially dynasty warriors.
Where is a new DEAD OR ALIVE !!!!
That is the only game we care about from Team Ninja 😂
Rise of the Ronin's difficulty options include Narrative, Intermediate and Hard. As the name suggests, Narrative mode is for players who just want to experience the story without any serious combat. Intermediate is your standard medium difficulty that will provide some challenge while Hard is in line with Team Ninja's previous games like Nioh and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty.
The Nioh team’s next samurai tale launches on March 22 as a PS5 exclusive
The visuals seem somewhat unpolished and looks like from a last gen game. I wouldn’t mind a delay.
Ghost of Tsushima did not have the best graphics quality compared to other PS exclusives but the beautiful art style made it stand out. This game just looks generic in comparison.
The entire article they treated the game like a full third party game without mentioning that Nintendo published this additional content title.
They are only removing the QTE's which is great but the game will still be missing on tons of stuff like:
dismembering
obligeration techniques
no advance UT by absorbing orbs
only 1 ninpo
poor selection of weapons
no store
no items
no lvl up system for the weapons
And all of this will be on the Wii U version plus Ayane and the other girls from prior games will be playable too.
they transformed one of the best hack n slash titles to shit
sigh
Sadly it's not going to make the game that much better.
