Games like Ninja Gaiden and Devil May Cry pride themselves on their often intense difficulty levels, so it is only fair that less skilled players are given option of making things little easier for themselves. After all, they paid for the video games and they have the right to experience as much of them as possible.
Fanatical has launched its new Explosive bundle, and this one can help you save big on a collection of Steam Deck-compatible titles.
Decades later and this action classic is still hard as nails.
Um… what!? They don’t play the same, like at all. If we’re only talking about difficulty then Ninja Gaiden is on a whole other level.
Especially the first game. Even the game on Nintendo in 1988 was hard from what my older brother said 😂
@Sonic your brother is correct. Despite so many tries I never beat the 1988 version on the original hardware. I only beat it many years later via emulation with save states. There was a late game jump in a mine with multiple flying bats that would make me fall to my death every time. Since it was “Nintendo” hard and game over meant back to level one, it made it that single jump exceptionally stressful.
I picked up NG for OG Xbox in 2004. It was a very difficult game (which made it really fun for me), but I was able to beat it in a relatively short period of time.
To this day I don’t think I could beat the NES version without save states no matter how hard I tried.
I think they just meant in terms of being known for their extreme difficulty compared to their peers. "Oh, you wanna be tested? Go play Ninja Gaiden Black/Dark Souls!"
They meant by being unforgiving and hard as nails, not mechanics or genre. When a game tester said to Itagaki that his game was too difficult, he simply decided to make it even more difficult.
The bad camera controls that increased difficulty were not a problem, but a feature when it came to NG. Lol!
I think Demon's Souls was the original "Dark Souls" or Kings Field even. Ninja Gaiden is a totally different style of game. And if we're being honest here, it borrowed heavily from Onimusha and Devil May Cry at the time.
I had a ton of fun with Onimusha, but if we are discussing difficulty only, Onimusha was a breeze when compared to NG.
Difficulty of is part of the games but that doesn’t make it like Souls games. Gameplay is much different so no
Actually… the OG is King's Field. The Souls games aren't about the difficulty and From has pretty much been working on the formula since 1994
CG writes: In this video, we take Microsoft's Copilot for a spin and talk about gaming and AI influences, and the implications of that. We talked about a possible Metal Gear Solid V remaster, Deus Ex remaster, Hitman Blood-Money mission, and more. Imagine trying to talk gaming with non-gaming friends in real-life and after 5 seconds, they switch off and possibly yawn. Well, CoPilot isn't like that, instead it's like talking to a like-minded gaming fan who is totally on your level. The public version of CoPilot released in Feb 2023 and already it's become almost indistinguishable from a real person.
A lot of these developers forget that videogames are supposed to be fun, I understand that gamers love a challenge but don't mock or make fun of those that like to play for fun. Me personally if a game starts to feel like a chore or job I'm done with it there are some games I think are more fun playing on higher difficulty like Resident Evil & Borderlands but other gamers might not agree, I hate playing Halo, Madden & COD on higher difficulty but I have friends who love it. So don't belittle someone just because your skill level better that theirs, have fun at the expense of the game not another individual.
I play everything on the easiest. I want a good story and good fun, not a headache.
Can I play Daddy?
