Llyranor Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Mega-bump. I'm thinking of picking up this title. For those who've played both the original and Black, is the additional content in the latter worth the extra effort it'd take me to try to get a copy of that?

Tale Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 By the way, that attack will not kill characters. It will only reduce them to a few hundred hit points. Yeah, the sun expanding doesn't completely envelop the earth. It only gives it a nice scorching. Totally surviveable. I love that aspect of the Final Fantasy games. It's very much on par with things like Dragon Ball Z where people throw around world destroying powers left and right only to scratch each other and say "ugh."

Imbrium Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 As much as I've always wanted to play the new Ninja Gaiden games, and I want to get a PS3 and I will get Ninja Gaiden Black for sure, I can't stand that developer guy. I watched some special on G4 with him, and he was just such a pompous ass about how he fighting games had more depth and robust features than the others. He felt he was achieving some "true" fighting genre. Like he was some savior to the fighting game genre. After that, I avoided his work like the plague, but now I'm able to get over it and play the NG games. As far as I am concerned, Smash Bros is about as close to perfect as a fighting game needs to be Of course, I love my SC2/3 and Tekken games. I couldn't master Virtua Figther, but I still enjoy it.

I think it should actually be easier to find Black now than the original. twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llyranor Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Ah, yes. In-between all this, I've already managed to find a copy of Black for cheaper than what the original one I initially saw was going for. End of dilemma. I've been itching for a difficult game.

Deraldin Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Ah, yes. In-between all this, I've already managed to find a copy of Black for cheaper than what the original one I initially saw was going for. End of dilemma. I've been itching for a difficult game. I've only managed to find a single copy of each here in town so far. Both of them were used copies at EB games. Black was $30 and the original was $15. :ninja10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 It is too bad that they don't make CRPGs with parallel levels of difficulty as this game.

steelfiredragon Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 I only played the old NES versions of Ninja Gaiden. They were difficult at the time, but I can't recall if it was due to my ineptude at the time, the controls, or the game's own difficulty. ditto. got far into it where that one dieing boss dude says that will be the last thing you see dialogue. its puzzles were to much at taht time. hehe i got the original arcade version somewhere around my room for pc.

Blodhemn Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 It is too bad that they don't make CRPGs with parallel levels of difficulty as this game. That or melee combat that is as thorough or fun. That would probably be my favorite game of all time. Just how much better would the Elder Scrolls series be with a fighting system as responsive and fluid such as this???????

Meshugger Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Ninja Gaiden was one of the reason on why i bought the original Xbox.

In Ninja Gaiden, the enemies are there to kill you." - Itagaki Such a simple concept most game designers forget I probably played more than 200 hours of this game, the combat system is just perfect.

Musopticon? Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 The fighting is fantastic. I've never been so utterly frustrated yet thrilled than when battling Alma for the first time.

Pope Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I've heard nothing but good things about the Ninja Gaiden games. Unfortunately, I never have and never will have an Xbox, so I was pleased to hear there's one coming out for the PS3, which I just might buy one day (once the price tag goes down that is).

J.E. Sawyer Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 AFAIK, Ninja Gaiden: Sigma is the PS3 game, but it's basically an upgraded version of Ninja Gaiden Black. That's not necessarily a terrible thing, but Ninja Gaiden 2 will probably be coming out for Xbox 360. twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria Caliban Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 You are stuck in the horse-archer thing, aren't you? Ha! I was stuck there for the longest time. I actually played that so many times, the skin on my thumbs began to peel. I don't know how, but I finally got by it. However, another gentleman on horseback then assaulted me on a bridge, this time with a group of ninja-mage guys. I finally acceded victory to him, and went back to playing Prince of Persia.
