Major Nelson: Ninja Gaiden II demo will NOT be available in Canada and the U.S. tomorrow (June 3, 2008)

So this is the edit where I get to feel like an ass. As many of you know, I never usually post information about a demo until it is actually available on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Well, with this post I went against that little voice in my head and gave you a heads up. I just received an email that proves I should have listened to that voice. It turns out the demo will NOT be available in Canada and the U.S. (in addition to India and Germany as noted above.) I don't know when a demo will be available for the other regions, but hopefully it will be by the end of the week (as originally stated.) My apologies. You can be sure that I am going to have a a few conversations with a some people about this.

...

you suck

I wonder why though.

Imallvol75844d ago

We know they have the Demo. Is there a round table of MS executives that sit there and say "Let's just make them suffer a little longer."

Once again, this does not show much faith in your product.

Breakfast5844d ago

Usually bigger named product (not to sure if NG fits) dont have demos...i dont know...maybe im clutching at straws?

Imallvol75844d ago

I dunno. Heavenly Sword had a demo that blew me away. Ninja Gaiden on PS3 had a demo. Devil May Cry 4 had a demo.

And its not just that, its that we know there actually is a demo already finished. They are just not giving it to us.

Darkiewonder5844d ago

Already paid off the game so I don't care much for the demo now anyways.

power of Green 5844d ago (Edited 5844d ago )

LOL at Breakfast talking that stupid ass sh*t makes you wonder if he even owns a 360 saying that BULLSHIT sh*t; makes you wonder why he visits so many 360 threads not owning the console(trolling).

I know the PS3 has a lack of content but do you even own a PS3 saying that moronic sh*t?.

BilI Gates5844d ago

Oh shut the hell up. You're always crying about something.

power of Green 5844d ago (Edited 5844d ago )

Its like all I have to do is check 360 news to find you people. Of course the reason why you comment or visit is to see what kind of rise you can get out of 360 fans right? thats why you troll in 360 thread never leaving untill chased out lol.

Surely there is better things to do than troll every single piece of 360 news to set an anti MSFT tone in them(BILLGATES)24 fucin 7. sheesh.

Breakfast5844d ago

I like how you 'lol' at the end. It must mean something.

:)

power of Green 5844d ago

Go EDIT that post in the gamerzone before its too late there's nothing more to say about it lol.

Breakfast5844d ago

Maybe its you whos clutching at straws.

Is that what you want me to change it to?

:)

Aclay5844d ago (Edited 5844d ago )

@Power of Green: You are the most negative person I've seen on N4G man. You almost always have something negative to say. Just stick to commenting on the article and staying on topic and stop creating so much havoc for gods sake and shut up.

power of Green 5844d ago

Are you intrested in this news because you were waiting for the demo to decide on a purchase?.

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 :)

skcej3025d 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! :)

kotaku773025d ago (Edited 3025d ago )

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

FallenAngel19843026d 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

bacrec13330d ago (Edited 3330d ago )

Real Talk. Wish more companies would get the memo.

joab7773330d ago (Edited 3330d 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.

breakpad3330d 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

bouzebbal3329d ago (Edited 3329d 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.

johndoe112113329d 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.

freshslicepizza3329d 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.

AngelicIceDiamond3330d ago

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

joab7773330d 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.

700p3330d ago

it depends on the game really.

BitbyDeath3330d ago

Depends on the difficulty setting.

Perjoss3330d ago

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

KryptoniteTail3329d 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.
