Ninja Gaiden 2 'horse armor' now on sale

Joystiq Writes:"Let's face it, we hardcore gamers are always looking for an excuse to play ninja dress-up. After obliterating tens of thousands of nameless, demonic foes, what greater satisfaction could there be than in donning a leopard print bodysuit and doing it all over again? That's the thing, palette swaps used to be bonuses for our hard-earned mileage; easter eggs buried at the end of the playing field. Not premium DLC.

In the real world, buying a sassy lil' getup can be a cathartic release. In virtual land you just feel like a chump. So Tecmo, Team Ninja, Microsoft, whoever, take your Ninja Gaiden "horse armor" and shove it!"

Agreed. No offense to the actual game but selling the alternative costumes that should have been in the game from the beginning for FREE is STEALING and beyond disgusting. Sadly many people will buy just like Horse Armor and other stupic DLC.
Seriously, there are some DLC material that are indeed expansions and worthy of additional money while there are stuff that should arrvie with the retail game.

While I agree it's bad, it's not nearly as bad as paying 5 dollars in MGO for codec responses -_- Ugh, I can't believe I bought them.

Apparently people aren't refusing it, so they keep putting these things out. Some games even sell stuff that is already on the disc!

It is here to stay and unfortunately it seems MS is at the forefront of ripping their customers off next to Nintendo ripping their customers off for a piece of plastic (Wii Wheel anyone?).

At this rate, going back to PC might not be as expensive. Almost everything that is part of the game is free after the game is purchased (sans expansions).... Maybe the hardcore PC gaming industry will not die after all.

Covenant, boycotting it means refusing to buy it so that it will be heard by companies that consumers will not tolerate this sort of BS

200 Points x 3 = RAPED. It's bad enough they want to sell them but for 200 a pop!? Give me some of that, I want a hit...

yeah, this is again where DLC blows. Standard content packed inside games of yesterday is now being sold to us at a premium. Sure we get achievements but is that really a substitute for taking away our alternate costumes? I thought not...

SHOVE IT is right!!

I bought the first track released for Motorstorm, three GH3 song packs and the first warhawk pack with the dropship. I'm not one to spend lots of money on an update. I've never paid for anything off of xbox Live. I got the map packs for Gears and Halo free so that made me happy.

Anyway I would never pay for content as stupid as this

7 - Costumes are cool as DLC.
For single player games, I would rather have costumes than new levels. DLC should enhance the game and increase replay value. I wouldn't want another hour of gameplay. I want something that makes me replay the game.

I am a hard core NG fan and I must tell MS, Team Ninja and Tecmo to shove it on this one. Make the DLC something worth a gamer's time. I love NG2 but this is truly disappointing.

Costumes like this should have been included in the game as unlockables. When games are $59.99 a pop, developers should be packing as much into a game as possible during the initial game launch.

MGS4 has 14 unlockable FaceCamo's, and 5 different Unlockable Costumes in the game. There isn't an excuse for Ninja Gaiden 2 not to have a few special costums already included in the game as unlockables.

I beat it once and have no intention of ever playing it again. The awful camera and projectiles out they ass ruined the experience for me. No where as fun as the last Ninja Gaiden

This is really tecmos fault. They are the money-grubbing sob's. They wanted to port Ninja Gaiden Sigma to X360 and a lot of other stuff just to make a quick buck. I am glad that Tomonobu Itigaki and most of Team Nina left tecmo.
