r/ninjagaiden

I dont care at all about story here so thats a non issue for me. But what game gives me the best action combat, best progression and most rewarding gameplay? Id like to avoid backtracking and bad platformer / puzzle sections (if those exist in these games). Ive heard the most about ninja gaiden 2 black and ninja gaiden 4? But idk anything about anything so what do you recommend?

feels like I've only died a handful of times and after beating the chp 3 boss in about 10 seconds i was wondering if im not using the cheat engine correctly or if sigma 2 is naturally easier than ngb. *currently on warrior difficulty*

Just what the topic says -- I'm wanting to integrate this into my game a lot more, but I'm having trouble getting good mileage out of it. That first jump X likes to whiff a lot, and wind path setups don't seem to work well with it; then, if the first jump X does hit, I also sometimes don't get the pickup into the remaining XY. Any tips?

I’m getting killed in purgatories, and as much as I love NG4 I fucking hate purgatory. There’s so much going on, the camera angle with the warning indicator (for the special parry) just seems such a luck of the draw if I’ll blindly get off or not. I’m on normal and while I’m no master ninja, I’ve spent adequate time in training learning a handful of moves offensive and defensive to the point I haven’t really struggled throughout the game…except in these fucking things.

If I can’t do it within a try or two with only a few heals I usually just give up and keep on going. Currently chapter 8. Anyone have any tips? Are you guys just breezing through these? Why did they make them so exhausting? Why would I want to have to replay them over and over to learn whatever quirks and strategy on normal? I honestly devolve to some sort of button masher after a few minutes because I can’t nail the parry fatal finishers with enough consistency to try, the special parrys I’m almost almost blind to and I’m trying to balance offensive crowd work at the same time. I know they’re optional but wtf!??

Guys i didn't understand the NG3 Hate like i know i didn't play it but i played NG3:RE And its a masterpiece and all but we need a remaster for NG3 or the NG3:RE if you don't agree i understand

What's your guy's opinion on UTs in NG2?

Man! Wow thats the best combat and fun I've had in a long time, and I've played alot of action games and souls games and well , I've played alot of games in my 32 years of gamming, im old, I never really liked 2 or 3, I loved ninja gaiden 1, not the one I used to play on my brothers amstrad but the remake. Just wana say how much I enjoyed this game. 😀

I just beat Ninja Gaiden Sigma on normal difficulty on PS5. Great game, esp. considering for 2007. But I wonder - how would I have done on the game if I'd played the 2004, original version? What was different about the camera, fighting, etc.?
