Yeah, I'm going to have to be that guy because there's no polite way to put it but so what? Along with NG3 they form a triptych of uninspired, wrong-headed and/or broken games which have diminished the Team Ninja mark. If you also take into account Team Ninja's other recent releases, DOA5 and Other M, I fail to see why anyone would continue to be excited by (or even interested in) the prospect of future releases from the developer.ĭOA5 reviewed rather well, from what I recall, and Other M wasn't exactly reviewed terribly, either, unless a 79 Metacritic score is somehow said:ĭOA5 reviewed rather well, from what I recall, and Other M wasn't exactly reviewed terribly, either, unless a 79 Metacritic score is somehow abysmal. Given that the game is so deeply flawed I don't see why the return of blood and dismemberment as well as packing in some dlc would make this game worthy of a purchase, nor why a publisher would want to release it a second time. Since then I've seen a lot more gameplay from NG3 and was clued-in to the fact that the combat system is so poorly conceived that most encounters could be cheesed by simply jumping into the air and firing arrows which allows you to put out a lot of damage while remaining out of reach of the enemies. I also thought that the QTE elements and kunai climbing stopped the game in its tracks and seemed like tedious and archaic nonsense. However, my first hands-on experience with the franchise was a rental of Ninja Gaiden 3 of which I completed the first mission and played part of the second before giving it up because controlling the character felt odd, the auto lock-on seemed to have a really crappy prioritization system and the camera seemed incapable of giving a useful overview of the action so that even in the first few areas I typically found myself auto-locked to enemies who weren't even on-screen. I have recently purchased Black and 2 and I've played through two or three missions in each and really enjoyed them. I am not an experienced, knowledgeable Ninja Gaiden fan. I never played Black and only part of NG2 said: Ninja Gaiden Black and 2 in your opinion? Combat-wise, anyways. I never played the original version of NG3, but given what I know of that versus Razor's Edge, Razor's Edge is a much improved version, though if you have complaints regarding the story, they're probably not going to be resolved here. There aren't any cowering enemies anymore, dismemberment is back and enemies will flip their shit when they get an arm or leg cut off, there's pretty good enemy variety, and in general it just feels like a really solid game. Yeah, they removed the stell-and-bone QTEs and made other combat changes. I wanna say they changed the way UT's work too but again. Also Ryu straight up has all his weapons in this version too. I believe they got rid of the Steel and Bone thing and changed some other combat bits. I haven't played it myself would be the one to ask.
