No other action game came close to it ever since

yes because it's like the leprosy patient of action games

NG4 will be crowned the game of all time.

Don't see that happening honestly platinum's involvement is already raising a major red flag

literally on rails 'gameplay'

DMClowns we feasting good

It was fun when I was a kid but I don't know if I'd consider it any sort of holy grail. Kingdom Hearts was always more fun of an action game to me.

op not even shitposting. It's actually sad that a 20 year old game is still the best.

KH have more content yes but NG just feels better to play

ngb was peak, solid movement, solid moveset, fun enemies, a lot of content, no other game came close

How does ng sigma compare? I want to play through ngs on steam deck and supposedly emulation for black is shitty. Got master collection, sig2 has black and nm mods that bring it closer to ng2 but does sig have anything similar or is it a passable experience in general?

You know what's great about ninja gaiden that i dont think gets talked about enough. It has none of the usual japanese cringe bullshit. No awkward jokes, dance numbers, annoying kids. And Ryu is just cold, stoic bad motherfucker.

sigma 1 is okay mostly, has shitty Rachel chapters tho, some aesthetic stuff was cutout and bloom was introduced, but you can mod a bunch of this stuff back in with the ngs black mod

nice filename

Yeah that's what I thought. Saw sig1 also has black mod that reintroduces original voice overs, ost, removes bloom

make new protagonist

he's lamer than the other 2 western ones

Japan has fallen

Sigma God Tier
Sigma 2 Good Tier(worse still good)
3 RE Good Tier(better than original)

Emulating black using xemu is fine outside of some slowdowns but if your pc can't handle it then sigma is a fine alternative it doesn't stray away too much from the original like sigma 2 did

Thanks.
I'd like to have it on the go on deck like other team ninja like nioh2. Xemu has some big slowdowns that cause game logic to just slow to a crawl

I don't have a steam deck so I can't say for certain but xemu worked the best for me cxbx was where I encountered slowdowns you should probably just stick to sigma

jesus christ

You don't believe that. At the very least the grinding is way too slow to look good.

Did larpers get bored of defending God Hand now that it's easy to emulate is that why we're seeing so many NGB posts now

You probably climb one ladder total in the whole game. NG3 wasn't an adventure game and still you spent more time kunai climbing than just ninja flipping up columns like you did before.

So much this, I'm looking forward to replaying the same on rails platforming sections over and over again each playthrough without a single enemy in sight.

bump

yeah nigga, I'd rather replay that dumbass zombie section or that dumbass water level instead of a 10 second rail section...

Looks more engaging and visually varied than anything you had in Black and II.
You climb at least two, one in the airship level after opening the hatch and the other under monastery on your way back to the bone dragon. The second time is especially egregious since you already had to endure the crash bandicoot segment and the slow elevator fight with zombies. Yikes.
I've had my fill of triangle jumping after Vazdah 1 honestly. Feel like NG3RE managed to strike a nice balance between that, kunai climbing, wall running, falcon diving and sliding under obstacles.
I just open discord or twitter during the downtime, sometimes tiktok.

One kunai climbing section is longer than all the time spent on ladders combined. And the game repeats it half a dozen times at least.

NGB posts now

Resurgence from new games announced.

no cap

aura

yikes

unironically use discord/twitter/tiktok

Fuck off Itagaki. You're done.

ng had threads for years at this point...

itagakischizo is shilling ng4 now

kek

is this ratchet and clank what the fuck

why not ninja gaiden 2 black, what are you spergs mad about that one for

bro all games were better 20years ago minus genres that never existed

Its not even a "black" in the same way this was. This was more like dlc before that was a thing. Black 2 was to garner fan hype for 4 with an "update" to a game they lost the source code for.

It's true cuz all gaymers hate 'neutral'.

It's just ligma in disguise

I dropped it halfway because it was boring
It wasn't hard like I was promised here just plain boring

I think there are just other ways to juggle in 2 black. you could argue flying kick was too strong for starting juggles. like juggles are still possible in 2 black, I just think they didnt want you flying through the air with hyper mobility separating enemies from the herd so easily
