Ninjas are cool and if you say otherwise then I'm inclined to think that you are just going against popular opinion in order to make yourself look cool. But you are NOT cool and ninjas are cooler than you: FACT. Aside from my slightly deranged rant though, it is fair to say that games starring mysterious warriors with throwing stars have always fared well. None more so, in recent years, than Ninja Gaiden which has always been slightly off putting to newcomers due to the rather sadistic difficulty level on show. Hopefully Ninja Blade will prove to be more than a simple copy and paste job and will actually make such shenanigans available to a much broader spectrum of players, as opposed to those of us with the patience of a saint and reflexes of one thousand tigers.
Developed by From Software, who may be more familiar to people with a penchant for giant mechs, this game strives to take a more action orientated approach to the genre rather than forcing players to learn just the right combo for every single situation..."
Ninja Blade is From Software’s best ninja game of all time, including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. At least it’s the best version of a specific type of ninja game.
Well aren't you cool? Taking a game that was pretty much universally acclaimed and then saying that one that received mediocre to bad reviews across the board is better... There's always one "hipster" out there with a contrarian opinion.
I don’t remember much of it but wasn’t it a QTE heavy game like Asura’s Wrath and GOW3?
FromSoftware is a game developer that has found popularity in the gaming industry thanks to their widely popular and best-selling series, Dark Souls. They may have gained notoriety from this series, but they have been around since 1986 with their first video game published in 1994 and have produced many popular games. Here are 5 games they have made that are not Dark Souls.
The Adventures of Cookie and Cream (Or Kuri Kuri Mix as is known in PAL territories) is actually a pretty good game, and gets damn hard in the latter stages.
I'd love to see FromSoft make King's Field 5, or maybe another Armoured Core. I love the Souls games, but I don't want to see it milked for all its worth.
Didn't they also make the 3D Dot Game Heroes (or something like that).
I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3
Armored Core series producer left From Software.
My guess is the company shifted all focus to Souls series... :(
RIP Armored Core....

Play Heavy Rain and the walking dead series then see if that question is even worth asking.
Yes, yes they should. They've always been an excuse to escalate drama through lazy button prompts than any game design.
