i really liked sigma.. my friend let me borrow it for a week and i liked it.. i was thinking about buying for $30 this week..

I think bottom line the game should give a nice experience, but to play it safe it should be at least a rental

NDN_Shadow6169d ago

I would still buy it if I wasn't completely sick of CoD4. I really like Ninja Gaiden: Sigma. I didn't find it too be as hard as I had heard, but that's not to say it wasn't difficult. Frankly, if I could play one 360 game, it would be NG2.

Too bad some let reviewers spoil their gaming.

Enjoy..

The Wood6169d ago

its good that some people like yourself aren't overly concerned metAAAcritic scores cause its bullsh*t. Lets take gaming back.

You got that ill get haze;)

thenickel6169d ago

Yeah I'm with you Wood. We've been playing it all day and really enjoying it. I don't have any complaints as a gamer and think this game is much better then what some reviews have been saying. They really went out of there way to make the best action game play ever.

dachiefsman6169d ago

i agree with yea on that point. Currently playing the path of the warrior and yea it is tough, but it has lived up to my expectations 3 hours into the game.

The camera can be a pain, but it isn't that bad. It isn't 10 out of 10 but at least 8 out a 10 in my book.

kewlkat0076169d ago

Gongora in Lost Odyssey....After 135 Hrs, I said I would beat the game before starting a new one. I'm doing just that. haha

Back in the day when I didn't have much Internet or money to buy Game Mags, I never really payed attention to reviews that much, though I admit I do but not so much the score.

I like the Meat & Potatos of reviews. NG has always been my favorite Ninja Game ever since it competed with Shinobi(Yeah I'm old-school). No reason not to buy this game if your into the genre/franchise.

If not then buy what you like..simple

8/10 is NG2's real score

too bad that 585P claim really got in the way of some reviewers

However xbox fans it might not be a great game but a decent one

dont let that 585P bug get in your way

qwert6168d ago

...I'm thinking this game is totaly underated! C'mon, 4/5! this game rocks! i just finish the game in 2h32m, and was the best crap i played in the late days! I think the reviewrs are crazy, the game deserve more, this games deserve 4/100!

TheMART6168d ago

I have to correct you NASIM. It's on 83%

http://www.gamerankings.com...

NG Sigma is close, on 86% average. So why are you so all into NGS and not into NG2? Because for you its not about Ninja Gaiden at all. You're just a PS3 fantard.

Everybody, Lenhart = Nasim = Tanod = Shmee and all that other mindless posts endless with lies. Vote him down in bubbles to one and get his comments marked as spam.

So did you enjoy that PS3 exclusive Haze on 576p with an average score of 5.7 out of 10?

Or GTAIV on PS3 with 640p while the 360 version is on 720p?

Tmac6168d ago

The mart is really butthurt over this fiasco huh?

livespawn6169d ago

playing it for a few hours today id have to say it's a pretty slick game, a few problems (camera) here and there but nothing that should stop you from picking it up

Cherchez La Ghost6169d ago

The camera angles are not that bad. I just hit RT to reset. The combo's are off the hook. I love the Talon weapons. I'm having much fun playing this game since Devil May Cry 4.

NGN Shadow.., believe when I say this. After you finish the game, there will be a harder level like Ninja Gaiden Black.

NDN_Shadow6169d ago

I don't have NG2. And if you were talking about Sigma than I know. I still can't beat Master Ninja difficulty like in the demo. I didn't say Ninja Gaiden was easy, but it wasn't as hard as I expected it to be, but it was probably because I played the demo a lot.

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 :)

skcej3352d ago

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! :)

kotaku773352d ago (Edited 3352d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19843353d ago

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

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"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

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13656d ago (Edited 3656d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773656d ago (Edited 3656d ago )

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.

breakpad3656d ago

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

bouzebbal3656d ago (Edited 3656d ago )

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.

johndoe112113656d ago

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.

rawrock3656d ago

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.

3656d ago
freshslicepizza3656d ago

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.

AngelicIceDiamond3656d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773656d ago

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.

700p3656d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3656d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3656d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3656d ago

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.
