Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Review | Destructoid

Jim Sterling writes, "As it stands, Razor's Edge is a slight improvement of something that needed to be thrown away and started again from scratch. A turd, Team Ninja demonstrates, can indeed be polished -- but it still stinks."

"A turd, Team Ninja demonstrates, can indeed be polished -- but it still stinks."

LOLOLOL..

Bring back Itagaki and fire the managment responsible for loosing Itagaki in the first place.

Problem solved!

blackblades4174d ago

he11 no cause if he comes back everything would be a xbox exclusive again.

nukeitall4174d ago

@blackblades:

Devil's third is not an exclusive, so I don't think that is necessarily the case. However, wouldn't you rather have an exclusive that is awesome, rather than a multi-platform turd?

PopRocks3594175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

It's Jim Sterling. Unless it's Kirby or Call of Duty, almost all of his reviews that I read seem to be outright hateful.

Ben_Grimm4175d ago

But this game has been getting shitted on from other sites too. So i think this has some truth in it.

PopRocks3594175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

What other sites? IGN gave this game a 7.6. Aside from that I heard maybe one smaller website say the game was better but mediocre.

EDIT: I just checked Metacritic and I was right. Only three reviews are out so far, two middles and a positive. So as of right now I don't think suggesting the game is "getting shitted on from other sites" is all that accurate.

Blastoise4175d ago

Didn't he give Ragnarok Odyssey a 9 like, 2 weeks ago?

PopRocks3594175d ago

I wouldn't know. Didn't read that review. I don't like usually like reading his material since I think he deliberately gives games certain scores for clicks.

For example, he gave Mario Kart 7 a 5/10 for being too much like previous games. Then later on he gave Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 a near perfect score for almost the same reason. This sparked some fire in the comments for both reviews. Since then I really haven't looked at too much of his stuff.

His Jimquisition videos are okay on occasion though.

CalvinKlein4175d ago

RO is better than NG 3 and Im a big fan of the first 2 3d games. This one always sucked and now it sucks slightly less, big deal.

If this game sucks compared to the first one that won on the original xbox then they are doding it wrong and going backwards and that deserves any crappy score it gets.

Ben_Grimm4175d ago

Correction, I meant the old Ninja Gaiden 3, my fault.

DivineAssault 4175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

wow thats bad.. This was one of the games i was actually looking into for it but i had a feeling not much will change

YoungPlex4175d ago

Well it's better than the broken 360/PS3 version which scored a 3.0 out of 10 IGN, while the Wii U version scored a 7.6 on IGN! To me that's a tremendous effort and difference on a game that was completely broken. Nobody expected it to get a 10, especially while using the same core mechanics! Plus I don't trust Destructoid, they've been giving too many games great scores that are not great imho Code of Princess being one of those titles.

smashcrashbash4175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

@ PopRocks359. Bet you wouldn't say that if were any other game. To many people a seven is an instant failure but you are excusing a 5.5? Why? Because it is a Wii U game? It's amazing how gamers will excuse anything that they want to succeed. Now that the first reviewed Wii U game gets a seven SUDDENLY a seven and 5.5 is 'not bad'. So we have started the Wii U excuses early have we? VITA games get sevens but that is a badge of failure that proves how worthless the VITA is. But this is nothing but the fault of the evil reviewer.I am sure you wouldn't be questioning his judgement if it was above an eight

MegaLagann4175d ago

I'm living in a world where people think a seven out of ten is a failure? Just fucking kill me now.

millzy1024175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

its because halo 4 got a 7 and halo fans thought it deserves a 10, 7 is still really good just not 'perfect' but no one seems to realise if you personaly think the game is perfect then to you its a 10, I really don't listen to reviews anyway I just like reading them for laught because people say stupid shit. 7 IS NOT FAILURE, under 5 maybe 5-6 good but not brilliant 7-9 very good and 10 is brilliant but it takes a lot for a game to get 10. if people where really hardcore gamers they will play games no mater what score it was if its there style of game because you can't say something is shit until you try it. let's say you took a maths test and got 7 out of 10 questions right would you think your stupid or pretty clever?

PopRocks3594175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

I'm not excusing a 5.5 score, nimrod. All I said was that it was a "middle" score. Meaning it was on the middle end of the spectrum. Nice job trying to twist my words. Too bad the only failure here is your reading comprehension.

Also I don't hate the Vita or its games. I'm simply not interested because it's too expensive and most of its library are ports of games I can get on the PS3, which I already own. You tell me why I would ever hate a device that has similar functionality to the Wii U?

shackdaddy4175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

7 isn't bad for any system. I've enjoyed games that were rated waaay worse than 7.

Also, this Sterling guy is a bit of a douche when it comes to reviews so it makes sense to ignore him. If he posted above 8, I wouldn't complain, but I would be a bit surprised coming from this guy...

MegaLagann4175d ago

Jesus people play the game for yourself, then decide. Video games like any art form are subjective, just because he didn't like the game, doesn't mean you won't. I don't care if you bash the game, but at least play it. For example, NieR was panned by critics but many people, including myself, enjoyed the game, hell I think it's a classic. I know 95% of people who bash Ninja Gaiden 3 just watched the IGN review and copy pasted it. I'm not saying Ninja Gaiden 3 was amazing, it was okay, nothing compared to the first two, but when people bash a game when they clearly never played it and just base it of a review, that's where I have a problem. Play it for yourself, make your own opinion on the game, don't hide behind a reviewer.

SAE4175d ago (Edited 4175d ago )

Agree with you , don't judge the game by a review , play it , be good in it then say your opinion about it to give a fair judgement ...

i completed ninja gaiden 3 , i hated it at first because i was comparing it to the first NG which was a masterpiece for me , but after that i realized that comparing it will not give me fun , so i played it as a new ip , i had a little fun then sold it ...

looking at how developers make the sequels these days i really dont care if they made a sequel to NG3 with worst gameplay , i will just search for the good games and support them , developers change too much these days instead of upgrading , not everything should be changed , if you change what made the game great then it's not a sequel , it's a reboot ...

Edit : i only compare between the sequels when the game is bad ...

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.

micdagoat191578d ago

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.

NG:RE is good (2 was better though) and I havent played the others. My kids will likely get a kick out of bolt and tembo while I will give the F:13th the old college try.

gangsta_red1661d ago

The games with gold selection is trash. Besides Friday the 13th. Ninja Gaiden 3 is the worse in the whole series. Bolt and Tango...laughable

Facts!! NG3 was absolute dog shit.

NG:RE is better then 1 or Black. Waaaaay more options. Better graphically. More playable characters. More costumes. More weapons. More ninjitsu. More enemy variety. In comparison. The first game is basic af.

babadivad1661d ago

Is this bizarro world?? People actually think NG3 was better than 1 and 2??

Abcdefeg1661d ago

Sometimes less is more, black has the best pacing and gameplay in the series
