Ninja Gaiden 2 Currently Broken: Microsoft comments on the recent game killing update.

Though a recent system update that was supposed to fix previously reported issues released, gamers (including those in the IGN offices) have still experienced reoccurring freezing issues during cutscenes which render the game unplayable.

IGN received an official response from Microsoft regarding the issue:

"Microsoft is aware of the issues that players are experiencing with the title update to "Ninja Gaiden II" and are currently working to resolve them with Tecmo/Team Ninja. Please stay tuned for a new update. We thank you for your patience!"

iceice1235746d ago

It is minor and Microsoft will fix it post haste. Sony has yet to fix that atrocious game called "Lair". Broken since launch and still not fixed, disgusting.

Mc Fadge5746d ago

The controls? They released a patch for analog stick control :/

juuken5746d ago

I agree Raw. He got owned so bad that he has yet to make a rebuttal. o.o

Diugu5746d ago (Edited 5746d ago )

After the patch it rocks! It was pretty "neat" before.. it was not good... but not terrible. But now after the update I replayed it and it rocks!

The controls were not tight. It felt a little weird... and it took a long time to get used. But they fixed it.

Not the best game but I had a real nice time with it. I'd give it an 8/10 evaluation for it now.

karlostomy5745d ago

*whispers*

...Next time Sony releases an firmware update, wait a while to see if it actually works, before you install it and brick your ps3, guys...

Why is there a Cheat Code to clear your system cache? Shouldn't it be in plain english, and just a confirmation click away?

Legion5746d ago

Maybe it is so people don't accidently clear their cache? Not that I could think what real harm that would do?

ZeroXMD5746d ago

this is FUNNY AS HELL!!!!!! "OH what about the gamekilling patches and blah blah blah blah!" I just got my 360 last week and am currently playing NG2 and after all of the 360-fangirls dissing ps3 because of "patches being required to fix everything" problem (which I have never had xcept for gta4 WHICH THE 360 HAD AS WELL(my buddy works at hastings and returned so many 360 gta4s it wasnt even funny).

So i guess I won't be getting the extra missions. but still, Foot in your mouth really tastes great huh 360-fangirls

macsto5745d ago

@ above

Its different when SONY are the ones that release an update that bricks your console. This is team ninja screwing up their own game.

rogimusprime5745d ago (Edited 5745d ago )

Man, leave Sony out of this. At least they admitted to the problems and moved QUICKLY to solve them. I called M$ day ONE of this update when it f'd my system up. The message said "please reconnect hard drive" after the game froze while i was playing the mission pack.

Customer service in India actually suggested that I "reset my modem" I wanted to slap that guy with a curry burger for suggesting that nonsense. I had to google and look on the forums to find out that the problem was widespread. M$ and Team ninja kept it on the hush.

So now, whenever I want to play ninja gaiden, I have to reach in the back and disconnect the network cable. It seems if you aren't connected to live, the glitch wont happen. If you ARE connected, you cant even play with the options without the bubble popping up saying

"please reconnect storage device"

GARBAGE.

Before you even ask, India asked me to clear out my cache with their little code you can get off google. I like how THEY try to control how YOU maintain YOUR hardrive. Bastards...

I wan't my F-N money back.
NOW!

I doubt it is the freezing issues that make the offering unplayable,the combination of the weak gameplay,horrendous Camera,predictable AI,and mediocre Graphics,all these combine to form a broken and unplayable retail product

I almost got the Lost Planet 2 one, but that get no One in the Leaderboards was effed up.

Many of those trophies are just time consuming, if we are going to talk some seriously hard platinum trophies, put MGS4 in there.

I will never forget the day i got that Big Boss Emblem.

Complete the game in less than 5 hours
Use no continues
Use no health items
Kill no enemies
No alert phases
No special items
Complete the game on The Boss Extreme

One of my proudest trophies :)

skcej2995d ago

yeah the Lost Planet 2 one was pretty ridiculous with the amount of time you had to put in but when I researched the list I found a lot of people saying that the Nom de Guerres were really annoying/ quite tricky to get. I did think about putting MGS 4, maybe it should have got an honorable mention. Impressive trophy to have though dude! :)

kotaku772995d ago (Edited 2995d ago )

Yeah! specially when you got to play over and over MGS4, when you could be playing, idk, MGS3 or any other game

FallenAngel19842995d ago

I'm only one Trophy away from getting the Platinum in MGS4, but unfortunately it has to be that damn Songs of the Battlefield one that requires me to get all the emblems. It's such an eyesore to be so close only to be set up against such a daunting task

Are AAA Games Too Easy?

"Perhaps extreme difficulties are still here, just presented in different ways. Multiplayer focused shooting games (for the most part), have average (to-below) difficulty within their campaigns. However, jumping online and playing competitively can produce a welcomed contest." KJ of Play Legit Writes

From Software thinks differently

bacrec13299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

So do I. Unfortunately, it doesn't sell so it doesn't get made. At least it doesn't sell 5-10 million like Assassin's Creed, And all the others. Bloodborne is one of the best games I've ever played, and it ruins other games b/c it expects better of you. It wants you to play it for awhile, instead of moving on to the next big thing a week later.

It's goal is to consume you, and not just your time, but your patience and your will, and it promises, unlike other games, to reward you for that time w/ actual satisfaction.

breakpad3299d ago

eeh ?? have you heard bloodborne or Souls games ? ..no if the develeopers dont seek wide casual acceptance (aka all kids must play the game) no ... are not easy

bouzebbal3299d ago (Edited 3299d ago )

i think western games are getting much easier than ever.
japanese are the only ones who dose difficulty. Games like Ninja Gaiden, Souls, Bloodborne raise the level.

johndoe112113299d ago

Why? That makes no bloody sense. Most games have varying levels of difficulty, if you are someone who likes to be constantly punished and frustrated while playing a game simply start off playing the game on it's hardest difficulty. Why the hell should they make all games with only one level of frustrating difficulty, to pander to a select few who have nothing better to do than spend 10 hours trying to pass one level?

This argument makes no sense and since bloodborne released people act like they've forgotten about difficulty settings. People saying all games should be difficult and punishing are selfish and inconsiderate and don't give a damn about anyone else's time or preferences. if gamers want to spend over a month trying to finish every game then they should not complain when only 5 or 6 games get released every year. It's a senseless foolish expectation.

From Soft makes Souls games hard the wrong way. Slow clunky controls and questionable mechanics and design. Anybody can make a game where you die a lot. It takes more talent to make a game with a good difficulty balance and smooth gameplay. I have not played Bloodborne but at least it looks to be step up in gameplay over the Souls games.

freshslicepizza3299d ago

from software became a aaa developer based on expanding its fanbase who often felt neglected to play games where if you die you suffer for it. the first demons souls game was not marketed as a aaa game, it grew from word of mouth and they managed to fill an area that was being ignored.

lots of aaa games are made easy and that makes sense since they want the barriers of people to play them to be as wide as possible. the more accessible the more will play is what they are thinking because aaa games cost a hell of a lot more money to make now than they did 30 years ago.

AngelicIceDiamond3299d ago

The industry doesn't use the word easy but "accessible" so yes games are easy.

joab7773299d ago

It's because they know that you won't be playing long. Only certain games get played over a period of time longer than 2 weeks. They just want your money, and want you to finish it. And they know that if you get the Souls reputation, you are screwed.

700p3299d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3299d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3299d ago

I find the souls games a bit too hard personally but I think Bloodborne has perfectly balanced difficulty.

KryptoniteTail3299d ago

Too hard, actually. Well, not "hard" but complicated, with long boring tutorials, and unbalanced sections and they try your patience with collectathons, bulls*** missions and try to make up for it with half hearted multiplayey and/or bitchy trophies.

I prefer more indies these days. AAA can still be the best around but most are boring rehashes and DLC fests.
