I can finally go ahead and purchase this game ^^

ThatCanadianGuy5121d ago

Same.

Had to many other good games to play when Sigma 2 came out.Always told myself i'd pick it up when the price is right, shame it had to happen around Red Dead Redemptions release..

*sigh*

EvilBlackCat5120d ago

WTF? (facepalm)

even on $60 that game is a steal

ThatCanadianGuy5120d ago

Yeah, but $60 is a bit much to spend on a game when i already spent $180 on other games at the time.

Not to mention having to pay rent, hydro, cable, internet, phone and groceries.

Sometimes i just have to make sacrifices..

HighDefinition5121d ago (Edited 5121d ago )

More like scraped or some bad rug burn. LOL. Seriously $10, w/ all the good games coming out it'll get buried behind other titles just like when it was released.

STICKzophrenic5120d ago (Edited 5120d ago )

I guess it's just a play on the 'slashing' gameplay.

I dunno. It's a lame attempt at whatever they were trying to accomplish.

IdleLeeSiuLung5120d ago

This game is like $20 on the Xbox 360... $50 still after 8-9 months!

BWS19825120d ago

Sigma games on 360. :D

But you're right, the price of $50 for a remix/redone NG2 is still too steep. It should be more like $30 or $40

IdleLeeSiuLung5120d ago

I love NG to death! Hands down my favorite game this past two generations, but $50 is too hard to swallow for a 8-9 month old game that is a remake of another game with minimal enhancements.

Yes, there are no Sigma games on the 360 and in my opinion Sigma in game play is inferior. I prefer the original and to some annoyingly cheap pure Ninja Gaiden the way Itagaki intended it!

Still, if you ignore the fact that the game is old $50 will provide you with a lot of value. That game has re-playability like no other game!

Are you up for the challenge?

SaiyanFury5120d ago

@IdleLeeSiuLung

I must disagree with you. I've got both versions of the game (I got NGS2 on day one) and I much prefer the PS version. I'm much more familiar with the controller (I've been gaming on PS consoles for over a decade), and it seems more natural. I wish they hadn't removed the blood, but they did and ultimately it was a minor effect. Team Ninja balanced the game much better than the original NG2 as well. Fighting that Phantom Train was a real pain in the ass in the original. Although I do feel they made it too easy in the PS3 version. Plus, with all the stuff they added to the PS version I don't feel cheated at all.

Darkstorn5120d ago

Sigma 2 isn't quite as great as Sigma, but it's still well worth playing, even at a $50 price point. It'll be $30 relatively soon, though.

multipayer5120d ago (Edited 5120d ago )

Its revolutionary approach to the sixaxis will make it a collectors item, I'm sure of it. But I got it for $10 on 360... lol@$10 price drop. So, free?

MiloGarret5120d ago

revolutionary in that it didn't incorporate it at all? maybe you were thinking of heavenly sword..?

Vgameman5120d ago

He's referring to the... "jiggling" sensation that the Six-axis provides in this game.

;)

MiloGarret5120d ago

HAHA! Sorry, I didn't even remember that... Revolutionary indeed!

Yi-Long5120d ago

... if they hadn't decided to censor it like they did.

Acquiesc35121d ago

Yeah, might pick it up... as soon as I finish the first one that is (pretty hard though) :P

Dannagar5121d ago (Edited 5121d ago )

I finished this game for Xbox 360. However, I do want the Playstation 3 version for the extras. As soon as it's $29, I'll buy it. I'm not sure why it is still priced so high, it's old.

amobius5121d ago

When the game is $30, ill pick it up

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.

micdagoat191611d 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.

Domestupidname1610d ago

I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.

NeonEnigma3333d ago

Is PS Now fairly consistent with a good internet connection? Do the games offer trophy support?

SamPao3333d ago (Edited 3333d ago )

yes and yes. Go read on forums, you only hear good things once your connection is good enough. (and you don't need a very fast one)
Trophy support is there.

did you even watch the vid?
on 20 seconds they tell you about trophy support :P

JoGam3333d ago (Edited 3333d ago )

They need to bring Socom II

NeonEnigma3333d ago

No, i was mainly concerned with hearing a users opinion of the service so i just commented. But I will be giving this a try tonight

morganfell3333d ago

Yes it works and works very well. Trophy Support is there as well as cloud saves for any game progression.

bouzebbal3332d ago

Doesn anyone know if PS Now supports 3D gaming?
U3 and Stardust were good in 3D.

morganfell3332d ago (Edited 3332d ago )

@abzdiine,

As of January, no 3D support. Now is not set up to properly detect your 3D display and manual choice is off since 3D requires a massive amount of bandwidth. Frame packing doesn't work well of bandwidth that currently supports smooth play in standard mode.

I would think it could be done without a hit but they would have to substantially increase the intial cache size during the game launch on the resident system (PS4, PS3, Vita, PS TV, or Sony TV) that is running Now.

S2Killinit3333d ago

yeah. I have never tried it with a fighting game yet. But the games I've tried worked just fine. Never tried multiplayer either though. I didn't eve know you could also play multiplayer games on PS NOW.

Scatpants3333d ago

It works great on my vita. My internet connection is fairly good, but not the best.

Bobby Kotex3333d ago

When I beta tested it, I had a crappy DSL connection and it worked flawlessly.

Skate-AK3333d ago

I have 18mb/s download and it worked pretty well for me. The game I played was a simple hunting one though.

NeonEnigma3332d ago

Thanks everybody for feedback, i was pretty intent on believing that streaming a game to my ps4 would work like crap, but after streaming shadow of the colossus to my ps4 im actually pretty excited about it. Its definately going to help me knock out some of my backlog!

Jedislayer3333d ago (Edited 3333d ago )

I love ps now, think about 100 + ps3 games streamed right away to your tv. Don't have to wait for gamefly, don't need to get up and go to the store. Instantly streamed to you from an internet connection. Think about it. gamefly two disc plan runs you 22.00 a month for two disc and sometimes you have to wait. 2-4 days for a game. $44.00 for 3 months gets you unlimited access to ps3 games and soon ps2 and ps1. If you are an mmo player you pay 15.00 a month just to play that one game. i think the value is perfect. Even when psn goes down. Think about mmo's when they go down or go down for maintenance you still pay 15.00 a month for that one game. Not trying to fanboy here but ps now will be a good investment. Think about it you don't have to hook up your old console just to play a game.

freshslicepizza3333d ago

it will be a good investment (for me) once they have ps4 games.

andresegr3333d ago

Playstation Now won't include Playstation 4 titles while the Ps4 remains on the market, it doesn't make any sense.

Death3333d ago

Sony has already said they will release PS4 games for the PS4 on the service.

freshslicepizza3333d ago

@andresegr,
"Playstation Now won't include Playstation 4 titles while the Ps4 remains on the market, it doesn't make any sense."

why not? sony already mentioned this along with ps1 and ps2 games.

http://www.gamespot.com/art...

rental outlets are becoming harder and harder to find. they may not see much value adding it to the pay by the month plan since they have the plus service and it's monthly free give-aways but it could be a great option to rent games.

_-EDMIX-_3332d ago (Edited 3332d ago )

"Playstation Now won't include Playstation 4 titles while the Ps4 remains on the market, it doesn't make any sense"

Not sure what you mean. PS now has PS3 titles on PS3...

Not sure why you wouldn't have PS4 titles on PS4. I say this based on with PS4 you have buttons, features etc that make more sense to only be streamed from another PS4.

I very much see them streaming PS4 games in the future as I see no reason not to.

I'm not trolling either, but what would make you think the couldn't or wouldn't?

WelkinCole3332d ago

As a core gamer. Would you consider it going forward even though you might already own a PS1,PS2 and PS3?.

I am actually surprised that its getting good reviews from core gamers.

xer03332d ago

I'm looking forward to playing, Siren: Bloodcurse again! :)

Deadlead3333d ago (Edited 3333d ago )

I tried PS Now for a month and am now really intrigued by the games on demand model, the convenience of such a massive catalogue at your fingertips is awesome. But I have ps3 so the value just isn't there at the moment. Also I couldn't help but wonder why there aren't more Sony exclusives featured on Now?

SoapShoes3333d ago

Yeah every Sony published game should be there! It is great on PS Vita!

StormLegend3333d ago

I love PS now, it just needs more AAA games.

WickedLester3333d ago (Edited 3333d ago )

Agreed. That and games from previous generations besides PS3. Where are all the PS1/PS2 classics?

Death3333d ago

Initial focus is on the PS3 with PS/PS2/PS4 games to be added later.

KryptoniteTail3333d ago

The best games to play on PSNow would be RPGs, Card Games, Board Games, pretty much anything turn-based or non-reflex related. On the opposite side, Fighting games, for example, are absolute trash on PSNow because if you're even half serious about them you don't want any interference, period. Normal online tends to be bad enough as it is for serious players.

I would also stay from anything like 1001 Spikes or Shmups.

Also, when is the price going to drop to a reasonable $10 per month/$100 per year?

Simco8763332d ago

Yeah $44 for 3 months is kind of trash.

Joe9133332d ago

You can tell by your comment you either never really tried PSnow or your internet sucks.
