Deraldin Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Hehehehehe, still loving the game. I'm in the sewers now. The devs should have just stuck with combat, though. What's up with these puzzles/platforming? And forcing me use the bow while enemies are raining rockets at me, all while I'm using a bloody gamepad to aim? That's sadistic. At least I got past that part. I died so many times on that part. I can't snipe with a gamepad.
Llyranor Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) I just kicked Doku's butt and then died at the hands of the endlessly spawning red demons that came after I left the room to save after solving the (stupid platforming) puzzle. The camera sucks. The artstyle sucks. Some of the design (platforming, "puzzles", stupid tedious water level, ranged weaponry --> bosses during the tairon-on-alert mission) sucks. The melee combat redeems all of it *completely*. Most satisfying combat ever. I have a love-hate relationship with this game. It doesn't answer my calls, though. Like that MCA jerk. I don't mind dying over and over again during a difficult satisfying battle. What I *do* mind is when I'm stuck having to repeat some jumps over and over again or have to mess around with the stupid camera to 'figure out' how to solve the "puzzles", or when I just die because of a cheap enemy because I'm stuck having to use ranged attacks against it. That's just frustrating. Give me a cool challenging battle that kicks me when I'm down and I'll get right back up and fight it all over again. Heck, I have a tendency to not save when I win an insanedly difficult battle after many many attempts and just reload to fight it all over again.

Beat all the red dinos and you'll get a prize. (Dragon sword most effective). Do the XYXXX combo, but be careful of the bite. The camera does have its issues, but it does have some impact on the gameplay. Certain enemies behave differently when on and off screen. Personally I think the camera did a great job with all the action going on. It only gave me when Ryu is near a wall fighting an enemy and it would sometimes go crazy.
J.E. Sawyer Posted May 2, 2007 Author Posted May 2, 2007 Ninja Gaiden Sigma is almost identical to NGB as far as the demo is concerned. However, it does run at 720p @ 60fps, which is worth a lot unless you're Adam Brennecke. twitter tyme
Pop Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) Oh SNAP Well played Sawyer. High five up top. Edited May 2, 2007 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
J.E. Sawyer Posted May 2, 2007 Author Posted May 2, 2007 Actually, I'm sorry. It doesn't run at 60fps at 720p. It runs at 60fps at 1080p. With self-shadowing. Booyah. twitter tyme
Llyranor Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 Okay, finished the game. ROFL @ endgame 'plot twist'. I was shocked and cared. Mission mode is awesome. I'm glad I'm done with the story. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

angshuman Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Ninja Gaiden Sigma for the PS3 has been released. Gamespot has a review up.
Meshugger Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Does NG:Sigma have the same options as NG:Black for voiceacting? I.e, one can change from the hideous english voiceacting to japanese with english subtitles.

Llyranor Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 Isn't that the whole point of Bluray? (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Sand Posted July 3, 2007 Posted July 3, 2007 In some anime I like to keep the hideous engish voice acting with the english subtitles. You sometimes see huge differences of what is said and what is actually meant.

Meshugger Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 It looks like Ninja Gaiden: Sigma "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
Azure79 Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 YAY Ninja Gaiden 2. I will shell out for a 360 to play this game.
Meshugger Posted September 12, 2007 Posted September 12, 2007 That will probably be worth it. I bought the original Xbox because of Ninja Gaiden.

Llyranor Posted September 16, 2007 Posted September 16, 2007 The pre-TGS demonstration is available on Live Marketplace. Except if you're from Greece. New videos --> Bringing It Home It's awesome, though that's kind of obvious. So much gratuitous blood and limbs flying everywhere at 60FPS. Combat, of course, looks as good as always. If you've played NG1, you don't really need anything more said about it. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
