Title: What I'm going to say may terrify children and possibly offend you
Post by: ncba93ivyase on March 06, 2008, 07:43:40 PM
Ninja Gaiden is a terrible game series and I'm not sorry for speaking the truth.

Can't say I ever cared much about the series anyway.

I agree.


Also Itakagi really needs a reality check.

You're fucking stupid then.

I say this on behalf of classic NG, I have not played Xbawks yet.

The old Ninja Gaiden games are particularly awful.

Agreed. I think I've played only one NG game and it was only half-decent. doodthing;

In the same sense I find Contra just as bad as Ninja Gaiden.

I won't say Contra is mind-blowing, but I find it pretty awesome.

The first three Ninja Gaidens are just revolting Castlevania knockoffs.

In that sense I wouldn't particularly care for them either because I get bored as hell playing pre-Rondo Castlevania.

Um. Ninja Gaiden is fucking badass.

Even though I really only played the PS3 port.

Recent ones aren't good, but the early ones are the worst.

They're solid games, I never cared for them though.

They are ok, but can't say I would ever pay full price for one

Also how the fuck can you compare Castlevania to Ninja Gaiden, I really don't see the similarities.

The NES ones are Castlevania in a modern setting with wall climbing and excessive shittiness.

I think I was insinuating that Castlevania is good and that Ninja Gaiden is just utter slop.

how so

please sir, elaborate, upon what exactly makes ninja gaiden utter slop
go on
There must've been a time you try to like something and you just find it impossible to like for an unknown raisin.

It feels like you're consistently being knocked back. You jump onto a platform, an enemy spawns in the middle of the screen, you fall back onto a wall, but your weakass little arms aren't nearly strong enough to climb up and over the ledge and instead all you can do is jump to the opposite side (oh wow that really makes a lot of sense). Your little blade only strikes a few pixels in front of you and your extra attacks are useless. Enemies continuously respawn just about 20 pixels (or less) in front of you. You can keep whacking B, but they'll keep on coming. You never see an enemy come out of the right side of the screen (because they spawn near the middle), but it's not uncommon to have some jumping little midget come flying out the left right as you make a jump, leaving you to get stuck on the side and having to commit suicide.

There's more that I hate about the old ones but I really can't find the words to put it all together.

So basically you hate it because its hard?

Seriously

The Gaiden series is pretty, shallow in my opinion. Not god awful, just not too fun to play. If you can beat it, you either are a real man or need a life; and a new controller.
