In a mysterious video, from the terrorists, is emphatically stated that Ryu Hayabusa must show up. With this in mind video Ryu leaves to London, England. In London he will soon face an army of terrorism and he soon seems to be the target. The first major enemy he gets to his feet, is avoided where he decides to put on the run. An encounter with a masked man seems to have a fatal outcome, but not as we might have expected. This man appears to be a powerful alchemist who prefer to see Ryu in a coffin. The murder of this alchemist ensures that a curse will rest on the moor intestine of Ryu. Every life that Ryu will deprive his job force in his body. The pain of the soul will be felt for Ryu Hayabusa with all its consequences.
Screen Rant Writes: Team Ninja knows fans want a new Ninja Gaiden game, but if Ryu Hayabusa is going to come back, there are some things that the series needs to fix.
- Better story, not that it has to be very deep though
- Better level design, on par or even exceed NG1
- Better enemies design, NG3's enemies design were boring and repetitive
Bring back the difficulty of the first game both 3 and Yaiba (yes I played that POS game) had laughably easy difficulty that it wasn't even funny.
In the conclusion to a three part series, CV takes a look at the most recent Ninja Gaiden games, for better and for worse.
They need to make a true sequel to Ninja Gaiden 2, that was the most satisfying combat I've experienced in a hack n slash game.
been playing 1&2 on and off since they were released. I usually will play until I get frustrated then take another year off lol. Nver tried 3 or the 4th one even though they are in my backlog.
I tried to go back to Sigma but good god those controls are just insufferable. Couldn't do it.
Phil writes, "Sometimes all it takes is one game to make a long-running or promising franchise become dead in the water, maligned to irrelevancy and just a memory in the annals of gaming history. It's a dog-eat-dog industry where it doesn't matter if the franchise has been around for ages or for milliseconds--just one or two failures and you're done. That's the case with these franchises, all of which I'm sad to see are currently nowhere to be found. Whether any of these will return for a kick-ass comeback or not is up in the air, but what is known is that for many, these franchises met truly unfortunate ends."
For Tony Hawk's Pro Skater really the first 3 were really the only good ones. After that they sort of went downhill.
Klonoa was great but released at a bad time on just 1 system with no marketing. Razors Edge fixed many issues with NG3 vanilla and is a guilty pleasure. Another one that killed a franchise is Lost Planet 3. The better game was Japan only in EX Troopers on PS3. I also would say Marvel vs Capcom Infinite killed the series. I know it's less than a year old but the writing is on the wall. Silent Hill series as soon as Konami gave it to western devs and also made mobile spinoffs.
I loved the dead space 1+2 hated 3. Played through them so many times but found number 3 such a bore to get through, really hope they pick this back up.
Well...this definitely paints some contrast with IGN's review.
I just want to know if they added a story. The first two didn't have a story. The action was good, but...I honestly didn't care about ANYONE, including Ryu.
Also...the preview post says "Ryu" six times. That's odd.
finally a more realistic view, especially with the games ive seen get 9s and up
Man the reviews for this game are all over the place. Like i said in the IGN topic i do not what to think. Some sites are either legitimately upset at the direction of the series, some are ranting for the sake of hits for the site, and others are reviewing the game subjectively like they should. It is so hard to distinguish the sites that are doing it for real and the ones that are just 'BSing'.
Seeing the multiplayer i rather Team Ninja kept the 'challenge' co-op missions cause those were cool. A multiplayer ninja mode just does not feel right. I will try it myself to see if it deserves the scores it is getting.
