Why is this game so HARD?
Ok I've had this game for awhile and I haven't finished it yet. I'm not a noob; I play all types of games and finish them all in like the second time I play them *minuse the achievements* . The bosses are really easy, but getting to them without dying is impossable! What are your thoughts?

ps sorry if any of this is spelled wrong.

Hey there. Well that is the Ninja Gaiden way. Pretty much all NG games are hard and challenging action titles.

It's just like any other game.
Learn the best combos to use, quick kills, learn enemy patterns, learn when to dodge and counter.

Re: Why is this game so HARD?
the game isnt hard, its just the ridiculously AWFUL camera makes it no fun. I give this game a 4 out of 10. Thank goodness for Gamefly, because i would have been angry if I had bought this crap.

No it's not. I'm not saying the camera does not have a couple of issues, but a poor man who blaims his lack of skill on it.

The camera could have been better, but proper manual control for the most part alleviate this.

The camera on the PS3 version is cr@ppy and killed me more times than the boss!!!

Its always hard to admit that a game is pure crap. . . . . . . Examples of pure crap; Halo 3, Gears of War 1 & 2, Left 4 Dead, Red Faction, Army of Two(awful...just awful), Jericho, Blacksite:area51, Resistance :Fall of Man, Metal Gear 4:GOTP...and the list continues. These games are ALL hype, then when you actually play it BAM!...skeleton city.

Re: RE: Re: Why is this game so HARD?
I'm inclined to agree with Xx JAH xX on this one. In you're earlier post on NG2 it was almost a great game bar the camera yet now it's pure crap? The game got the better of you and you gave up simple as, there are a few moments where the camera gets a bit epileptic but it's easily manageable and certainly not a game breaker.

I see you managed to get a lot done on DMC4 which has a far worse camera than NG2, it's always hard to admit when a game hands you you're behind. Wink [;)]

No it's not, at least not for me. I have no trouble calling any game crap if it is crap.
And a couple of those games you mention as crap I enjoyed playing.

Anyway calling NG2 crap because of some very minor camera issues is the real crap. Like nvrhere said, there are games in your list with far far worse camera issues than NG2. Basically meaning any game you can't beat is crap. A pitty because if you had the skill you would have found the best game in it's genre in this game.

Further more a game isn't all hype and crap if it has the success to back it up. Overrated is a term used by those who think they're right and everyone else is wrong. I also find if funny that you picked a bunch of top selling games and threw in two actual crap games. Which leads me to believe you're either a troll or are one of those people that deprives himself of something good just because it's popular. Which is sad... Games do not succeed on nothing but hype... like Two Worlds. . I'm with Jah too. I had virtualy no issues with the camera because I know how to work it. Every once in a while I experience a hiccup but what third person action game doesn't? None.

the game is not hard but cheap and badly designed.
I mean come on, 1 button that instantly kills an enemy (Obliteration Tech).
Long lasting ultimate Technique attacks.
Those two things makes the game easy.

Since the game was rushed and badly designed, they made the difficulty cheap by allowing enemies to spam projectiles at you and projectile does lots of damage.

And camera does make the game hard, bad camera is part of the gameplay, especially for Master Ninja and Mentor modes. (since it wasn't fixed)

Well if this game is easy, practically all other games are too easy to even play! I can't believe you even played DMC then! Most fights in that game, even on Son of Sparda mode, can be won blindfolded with buttonbashing without ever having to block.(and let's not mention the camera in that game!).

Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: Why is this game so HARD?
The camera is not very good, however, only bad NG2 players use that as an excuse for getting walloped over and over.

There are some cheap attacks but, again, they can be countered and they should not solely account for many deaths.

There are long sections of the game where, due to the enemies and environment choices, you won't have any camera problems and won't suffer many cheap attacks - yet poor players are still trying to blame these things while they play through these parts.

You only really earn the right to criticise these things with open eyes after you've finished the game on at least mentor, otherwise you're just blaming the game for your own inability to play it. People who play other games on hard and maybe are used to raking in achievements sometimes seem to think they have a god-given right to be good at NG as well, then get butthurt when they aren't.

Wow...I thought this thread would die considering I haven't played this game in months, but people just let it go. I was asking because this was the only game that ever knocked me on my face even on the easy mode, but now that I have ACII I haven't even looked back. So please let this post die already!

and what happens when you use Kusarigama in Master Ninja mode?
drag a Ninja, Ryu cuts off their feet, and hit the Strong/heavy attack to perform instant kill:/

That is what I was going to say. Tis just the way of the ninja. I find in general most games that involve ninjas just are insanely difficult but especially this series of game but I love this series because it is the one series that is easily the hardest series of games to beat in the history of gaming at the moment.

I respect that.
