About 1 fucking hour OP, that guy was a cunt, along with Alma.

Too bad Itagaki left the series...

Mfw I fought against Doku. He always seemed invincible, damn that bastard.

>mfw i spent more time on him and the guy on the horse than all the other bosses combined
i guess it was because i still hadn't worked out the game probably. but damm, its a hell of a way to start a game

I was basically shitting my ass when I saw the demons on the right for the very first time....
The boss on that stage was pretty weak but the demons made my shit my pants...

This game.. was hard as fuck, somehow I got past it, remember when you're on the plane and you have to face that juggernaught guy? Me and my friend both got stuck on the red dinosaur looking thing.

He's my favourite boss in that game due to being one of the few that you can actually go toe to toe with.
Ninja Gaiden Black was such a masterpiece but II wasn't as good and III looks like it's going to be weak.

>>132321616
forgot the pic

And who remembers those white ninjas with incendiary shurikens?

Those damn bastards, when they were in groups you would be killed countless times. They would have stuck you with 5 of those shurikens.

>>132321896
that's where i gave up and never played the game again, the dude on the plane haha.

loved ng2 though. guess i'm just too casual.

>>132321896
really? i thought the dinosaur was the easiest boss by far. also this game is the hardest i have ever played. more so that dark/demon souls

the best game of previous console generation

i loved this one so much
i never played 2 cause i only have a ps3 and i heard they took alot of the gore and what not out of the sigma whatever the fuck version

>>132322034
3 looks pretty bad, and this coming from a guy who's generally optimistic.

Surprisingly, doa5 doesn't nearly as bad, in my opinion at least.

Is it honestly weird that I enjoyed the game from start to finish? Thought it was not difficult at all. Including Alma. Good game.

>save up for the most expensive weapon
>it's a slow piece of shit useless against most everything but weak mooks
>get all the golden scarabs and unlock the original NES trilogy
>like running naked through a thornbush just to jump into a blender
Damn if shopkeeper Muramusa didn't have a killer theme tune though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofTwO9zAyAU&feature=related

That feel when you finally master the game and every fight turns into a beautiful and smooth dance of death.
I haven't had this feel since Ninja Gaiden Black, and I don't expect to have it again any time soon.

Don't forget the ice and fire cave's, I hated the ice one too.

I liked the whole game's music, it was damn awesome, the music actually gave it a great feeling. It would make you scared when it wanted.

The worms were pretty easy.

>>132321896
>>132322149
This red dino? (pic)
Thats the one that made me shit pants when I saw it for the first time, fucking up those gun people.

>>132322834
>save up for the most expensive weapon
Was that Unlabored Flawlessness or something else?

>dat feel when you try fighting this faggot after completing the game
>and utterly destroy him in a fair head to head duel without walljumps and other tricks
combat mechanics done right

I have to say that the last boss was the shittiest, although I did like the end where I had to race to escape that damn place and fight the damn bastard of a murai.

>sup guys? Just being the most diabolical and boner inducing boss in the game

>>132323367
So many deaths...

>>132323034
indeed that was one of the most damn priciest weapon.
I always liked how the dabilahro looked like and its awesome name.

another awesome weapon in the game was; the vigoorian flail, I liked its looks. not as much as the dabilahro but stil awesome enough.

The suckiest weapon was rachel's, though it had just one unique attack, forgot what that was... but damn a gay weapon.
I liked every weapons special attacks, the best was unlabored flawlessness'es, ground breaking one.

>>132323367
>my face fighting her for the first time
I thought she was impossible. But she at least showed me how to supposed to play the game properly. Now I can beat her easily without getting hit.

>>132322952
oh god I love this feel

First of all its not ninja gaiden 1 you faggot. It was just the new generation but far from the first.


Secondly, the game was a refreshing challenge among a sea of dogshit that was being made at the time.
none of my friends liked the game because they were too fucking stupid and didnt understand that you actually had to block and dodge to beat the bosses.

faggots get everything handed to them and dont remember anything about the games they play. with ninja gaiden you actual felt like you accomplished something when you beat it, and you had many memorable moments because you never really just breezed past entire sections.

it was the greatest game on the xbox, and ninja gaiden black is one of the greatest games of all time.
the challenges alone were fun as hell

>>132323975

>First of all its not ninja gaiden 1 you faggot. It was just the new generation but far from the first.

The fuck, I thought Itagaki created ninja Gaiden?

>>132322667
>Is it honestly weird that I enjoyed the game from start to finish?
How is enjoying an entire game weird?
If only they were all like that.
NGB is GOTY all years

>>132323975
Well, ofcourse It isnt ninja gaiden one, if we were going to follow the course: it would be ninja gaiden 4.

But its from the 'new generation' thus it gets a 1.

If we were going to date this shit, it would be ninja gaiden 2004

So I'm playing this game on hard on the Vita and HOLY SHIT IT IS PISSING ME OFF TO NO END! I've beaten the original Xbox release on very hard, so I know how to play the game, and I expected to die every once in a while because I haven't played it in a good couple of years, but what's with all the shitty new enemies? Why does every boss become tedious because someone decided that they needed minions? Where's the combo counter? I'm mainly pissed about the smaller enemies in boss fights because it ruins a lot of the "flow" of the boss fights. I understand having FIFTEEN ENEMIES WHILE FIGHTING DOKU OMG SO HARD in the challenge stuff, but it straight pisses me off in the main game.

I liked NGB's soundtrack better than II, especially the Ice Cavern theme
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmgj5vHEmZY

>>132324098
...

You know the "Shinobi" series? It's similar, but with more moving around, climbing shit, and hidden doors.

>>132324098
He created the one for the xbox, but there were 3 ninja gaiden games for the nes (and others) before that.

>>132322834
Fuck I was one scarab away from unlocking the NES NG games.

But yeh, I fucking loved NG. Did NG black bring back the futuristic samurai armour? that shit look fucking amazing. Fucking NG 2 though, game was boring/

>>132324098
all have different stories and they don't look like real sequels to each other. Only the first three are a part of a trilogy.

The new trilogy don't really look like sequels to each other.

>>132324098
You know those unlockable games you get after beating the game?
Those pixlated Ninja Gaidens that are included in the xbox game?
Yeah...

>Get to this guy
>Be a teen and have untapped rage
>Sweating and swearing like a sailor
>Finally beat him after an hour
>THAT WAS ONLY LEVEL ONE COCKSUCKER

I would have broken my xbox if I could have lifted it.

I eventually got fairly far in one of them, I think it was the one for Xbox 360

>>132323367

>>132324259
I thought NG2 was just unfairly hard.

>>132322962
INFUCKINGDEED.
Saving that one, I damn always liked that place's theme.

>My face when my dad beat the game on Master Ninja.

>>132324615
Your dad is awesome

>ITT some people admitting they never beat Ninja Gaiden, the greatest Xbox and PS3 game of all time

CASUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALS!!!

>>132324259
I liked the Tokyo stage in NGII but the USA stage wasn't all that great, the parts in Venice/Italy and on the flying fortress were cool but what really bogged me down was constantly fighting the 'demon' enemies.
Things just felt drawn out in that game.
The best part by far was that one massive stairway, when you had to battle your way up through hundreds of ninjas and the framerate went into fucking slow motion.

meh i was stuck for about a week on the red dragon. just couldnt get past that one lunge attack that took out 3/4 of your lifebar

>>132324739
Funny thing though, I finished the game 6-7 times.
After I had finished it for the first time:
32 fucking HOURS WERE SPENT IN THAT GAME.
I was like WUT

When I did it once again, I made it even less. Last time I finished it I got it back to 6:30 hours.

man....

>>132324805
>The best part by far was that one massive stairway, when you had to battle your way up through hundreds of ninjas and the framerate went into fucking slow motion.

I remember using that black hole ninpo and devastating at least twenty of them.

I got an EGM or something and it came with a demo disk of Hitman and Ninja Gaiden, the entire first level up to the boss fight, and it ended when you beat him.

I played and beat it at LEAST 13 times because nothing else at the time was like it and I really fell in love with the game.
This game is and was fucking awesome.

>>132324805
That part was fucking amazing. I had an incredible combo with my vigoorian flails.

>dat last stage after beating spirit Doku and reading the corpses diary near the stairs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yPZmcUksYs&feature=related

that was some creepily intense shit

Also, that military stage with those two tank bosses TOOK ME FUCKING AGEEESSSSSSSS

>that feel when you do a no-ninpo, dragon sword only run of Ninja Gaiden Black
I'm just to old and tired for that shit now though.

Vigorian flails 56 hit combo all day errry day. Those ghost fish cant even touch you when you do the spinny move with them

Did they tone the difficulty down in PS3 Sigma?
I beat that guy on my 2nd try.

>2012
>not doing a no damage Master Ninja run.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIFvoEc-GsY

>>132325450
>yfw you didnt know about that and always tried to use the dragon sword to run through them
>yfw it didnt matter and they would fuck you up the moment you didnt press any button
>yfw you had to use all your ninpo for the spinning wheel of fire and had to rush to the other side in hope of survival.

>>132325485
Yes they did. You get the idea though. There isn't a huge difference.

In the mission/challenge mode when you fight the clone/evil ryu, it reminded me of zelda 2. Those were so awesome I wish there were more of them.


Also: That challenge, "hey alma was hard right? and that rope chick? Ok cool.
Fight them BOTH now. At the same time.
1 life, 2 weapons, final destination"


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

NG2 when you're in the level with the aztec temple and the blood rain:
>Doing fine, hard enemies but doing fine.
>Long, thin bridge
>3 giant spider lv1 boss guys running towards you in the distance
>They have even harder attacks than before.

Anyone else remember that part?

>>132323367
You know what?
I had one save file, stupidly
half health
no potions

I beat the bitch without getting hit

Took me weeks.

>>132325657
Learn 2 play vidja games.
If something doesnt work you are supposed to try a different strategy

>>132325826
Oh yeah. I stood my ground and charged my attack.

I remember first getting this game, not knowing what to expect. It was either this or Fable II, and I asked the shop keep what he recommended, he told me to get NG. Fucking loved it.

Anyone else get stuck at the beginging of the stage where you had to walk up the tree strump? It took me fucking hours to realise you could just walk over it

>>132325891
Yup knew about that, so I checked up every other weapon. Became friends with the vigoorian flail for the first time there.

you just spam the jumping slash off the wall.


Alma is a fucking cunt though

He's not hard in the context of the game.

But goddamn he raped my ass the first few times

is he the same first boss from sigma plus? because he was piss easy

>>132325572
im not gay, but id suck that guys dick for being able to do that

NG1 or Black are easily in my top 5 all time games. The rage was blinding but the satisfaction of reaching the speed of play the game was demanding felt so rightfully Ninja it was glorious. That near impossibility to master made it oh so glorious in the end.

There has never been a game with a more difficult first time normal playthrough. Original DMC3 is second imo.

>>132325572
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIFvoEc-GsY
>charged super moves only while using berweapons on level 1

wow, it's fucking nothing

Jesus christ you fucking inbred swine. It took me 3 minutes of experimenting to find out how to kill this fucker. Here I'll lay it out for you so your dumb ass can understand it:
1. Find a fucking wall
2. Run up the god damn wall
Now here's the hardest fucking
3. Jump off the wall and click "X" to do an air slash
4. Roll away and repeat
Sometimes he blocks this, sometimes he doesn't. The important thing is is that the move does a lot of damage and you can get away after using it. IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU SHIT-FOR-BRAINS?
I sometimes wonder what the average age here is on /v/. Let me guess this was probably babby's first videogame for you.

>>132326325
>berweapons

What? I don't really know what you're trying to say even.

>that one part in NGB were, after going through a boss gauntlet and seeing a 30 meter tall bitch pop up Ryu starts flying through the air on a levitating chunk of ground

>>132326424
2/10 too obvious

>>132325995
Yeah, but after that you had to jump like a crazy person and hope that they gave you time to charge again or didn't jump on you. Or shoot at you.

does anyone know of any current gen games that are as challenging as ninja gaiden?
i haven been really pissed of by a game for being hard in a while i miss it

>>132326424
Only works in the original NG release. Air attacks were nerfed in Black. It might actually work in normal and hard though.

ninja dogs, all of you

>>132326542
>>132326424
it's ok guys
in ninja gaiden 3 you don't have to worry about strategy,
you only get the dragon sword, so just walk up to an enemy, input the button prompt qte and win the level!

also
>enemyboss holding a hammer

>>132326563
Here's a list I put together. Nothing from this current gen though, sorry. NGB is the ultimate video game challenge.

1.-Ninja Gaiden Black including missions on MN
2.-God Hand Kick Me sign Run on Hard
3.-NG2 on PotMN
4.-Super Monkey Ball (complete master)
5.-Battletoads
6-.F-Zero GX (not for very hard story, but for the staff ghosts with no snaking/flying)
7.-Bayonetta on Climax Diff, Gaze of Dispair equiped, no items
8.-Viewtiful Joe (1) on Ultra-V
9.-DmC3 on DMD
10.-Radiant Silvergun
11.-Ghosts 'N Goblins
12.-Ikaruga
13.-GoW2 Titan Diff (Protect the translator says it all)
14.-DMC on DMD
15.-Shinobi (PS2)
16.-Ninja Gaiden 1 (NES)

>>132326630
Was that actually a real difficulty?
I was not casual enough to find out.

I can confirm it was.. I feel like such a pussy ;_; I WILL BEAT THIS GAME ON MASTER NINJA ONE DAY.

Although I did beat Ninja Gaiden ( the one that came out before this ) on normal and unlocked that awesome as fuck Future Samurai Armour thingy and the Sabre Sword

>>132326878
Hell yes!

>everyone hypes up the alma fight to no end
>reach it
>beat her on the first try
I ultimately dropped the game(Sigma) because of the fucking Rachel stages though.

Honestly, I had more trouble with Alma the first time around than that guy (forget his name).

However, he did give me the most trouble on my second playthrough which was on a higher difficulty.

>this game is too easy!
>sigma version

well there's your problem
without itagaki all you have is devil may cry 2 with more titties

i really love challenging games but i never had an xbox so i missed out on the first one.
ninja gaiden sigma is just a strait port to ps3 right? or should i maybe consider borrowing a friends xbox and buying it for that?

>>132327702
Well I never had an Xbox hueg, so tough luck for me. How's the Vita version?

i was at the final boss on my master ninja save, couldnt bother beating him, sold the game along with my xbox

>people tell me how difficult Alma#s first form is to beat
>beat her in three tries
>don't hear anyone complain about her scorpian form the second time you fight her

Also, why was Sigma II so goddamn easy? Didn't die once on normal.

>>132327681

I beat him on like my third try and I ain't even that good at vidya. I could have beaten him my first try had I used the item but fuck items.

That said, he can fuck you RIGHT up fast if you lose rhythm. There is no barrier between taking him down with relative ease and getting rammed up the ass. You can slide between one or the other without knowing what you're doing wrong

not much. wall run up jump out ninja spinning downward slash dodge repeat profit.

>Can't transfer Ninja Gaiden saves between consoles.
>Want to fap to pic related
>But have lost game complete saves three times because of this faggotry
Eat shit cookieface

>>132327998
Sigma 1 & 2 weren't directed by Itagaki so maybe that explains it. I'm curious to see how NG3 turns out since it's directed by the same guy.

>>132320965
People who hated Ninja Gaiden, are impatient and can't handle being defeated.

I had an epihany when I thought about how incredible Ryu Hayabusa's physique is and it still spurs me on to this day to train for that goal.
Very unlikely I'll reach it without roiding up though.

ITT: Babbies who haven't played a truly hardcore game like Dark Souls circle-jerking over their casual crap

Whenever you kids want to play a REAL game, I'll be waiting.

>>132328817
But I like both.

At least Itagaki is gone. NG2 proved he was a one-trick pony.

>>132328817
boring and slow, no thanks

>>132328653
Yeah that's fucking terrible. Don't know why they couldn't just fix the save problem. NGB isn't fun to re-beat because you're forced to start from normal.

This game was pretty much my first real 3D action game. The only other game I had played was Devil May Cry 2 but that game was fucking shit and doesn't count.

It took me forever to beat just about every boss. I fought Alma for hours. I also remember having a lot of trouble with the worms. Everything else wasn't all that bad though.

>>132328817
Ninja Gaiden was DS before it was cool.

For god's sake guys, they're both at their base just IWBTG in 3d.

NINJA TRAIN CONDUCTOR, MOTHER FUCKER

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXj1tLmxyWM&feature=related

>>132328912
There's three whole difficulties AFTER Normal too. The game gets boring replaying on Normal when I could be bored on new content.

At least Bayonetta realized that giving the player a full level select and just letting them do what the fuck ever when you unlock a new difficulty cost them nothing.

>>132328783
It's more about being really flexible than just "HURR DURR MASS".

>>132328817
Both are among my all time favourite games

>>132328817
>Implying the difficulty in that game isn't hyped up by faggots

Seriously just because the game doesn't pull it's punches doesn't mean it was very hard. Actually it was pretty easy and I did it sans the Drake Sword and Zwei or elemental weapons.

>>132328817

>>132328653

took me about 50 tries to beat those fuckers with Rachel
you dont get anything good though
at least beating Ch2 Doku gives you stuff

>>132329167
>it's
Besides that, I agree with you. I see people comparing it to NES hard, and I just say "lol whatever."
Seriously, it's not even Genesis hard. Maybe borderline SNES.

Anybody else miss those fuck-awesome pre-rendered cutscenes from NGB in the sequel?
They were part of the sweet reward for getting through each level of hell.

When I first got Ninja Gaiden, I didn't know what it was, just heard good things from a friend and bought a copy (this was when Black was just released). I spent like all fucking day trying to kill him and then quitting.

Finally I got to the second level, and that fucking horse boss kicked my ass all night. One of my favorite games of all time though, I'll go play it again in fact.

I look forward to seeing what an NG without Itagaki would be. Ol cookieface is an asshole and I don't subscribe to the theory that one magical nip makes a game great.

Else Shadows of the Damned would have been a step above mediocre

>>132329250
You can fap to them at least.

>>132320965
I found him to be easier than his equivalent in Part 2 -- I think the 2nd level boss. I think my first playthrough in NG took like 6 tries against this guy. My 2nd playthrough of NG2 (path of mentor) took like 60 tries against that boss.

>>132328817
>difficulty stems from requiring fast reflexes and intelligent input
vs
>difficulty stems from having to memorize stage and enemy patterns so you won't get caught by a sucker punch you had no way of avoiding otherwise

>>132329607
Wait, what game are you describing with each line?

>>132329607
Err, Which one's which?

Top = Ninja Gaiden

Bottom = Dark Souls / IWBTG

Should be obvious.

KKKAAAAAAHHHHNN

I am just going through this for the first time.
I just got to the first Rachel chapter.
My initial reaction was that I went from a great action game to a mediocre one, then I figured her out a little more.
Would still rather be Ryu.

>>132329813
referring to
>>132329698
>>132329793

Was Ninja Gaiden II better or worse for removing most of the platforming and puzzles that the previous game had?
I actually enjoyed that game-play variation in the original xbox game because it kept things from getting stale with just constant combat and I enjoy platforming.
I also wish they had kept the roll manouver.

>>132329868
Is that the sigma version? You have to play as Rachel? Fuck that

>>132329868

You only play as Rachel in Sigma. You should've played Black.

>>132329932
I liked it too, that puzzle straight after you kill Doku was a bitch though

>>132329951
Sigma plus on the vita.
Fifth chapter is Rachel, so I assume more make you do it.

you fuckers are making me want to get this on my 360. asses....I think I will now

>>132329932
The platforming in NG was not its strong suit. Glad to see it gone. NG2 was just weaker because of worse combat and enemies

>>132328817
Are you a retard?
Dark Souls is fun, but not even remotely difficult. Seriously, God Hand is more difficult.
Dark Souls is fake difficult, like fucking Touhou or Contra.

>>132330053
Go ahead. It's really good. If you're the kind of guy to get so angry at videogames that you're not angry anymore, you'll love it.

Speaking of Sigma
>Rachel's first ambush area.
>Like 50 fiends.
>All you get for it is a different hairstyle.
Ugh.

>>132330135
Asspained casual confirmed

>>132320965
It's not so much that he's the hardest boss, he's about the same as Doku I guess. Maybe even a little easier.
But by the time you fight Doku, you're a whole hell of a lot more powerful. You have weapons out the ass, a lot more moves, and do a bunch more damage.

i'm thinking of getting a Vita and Sigma with it.
sound good?

Time to school all the kiddies in this thread.

Dark Souls is the single deepest, most challenging, most skill-based game ever created. There is not a single other game in any genre that comes close to the level of skill Dark Souls requires.

This is why Dark Souls threads are the best, most intelligent threads on /v/. Only the smartest, brightest, and most patient people post in them. Essentially, the very best of humanity posts in them.

Conversely, the only people who don't like Dark Souls clearly don't have the skills to handle its depth. It is too hardcore for them. That's okay though. Games like Halo exist for people like them. Dark Souls fans are too good to hold grudges.

>>132330176

>this music comes on
>feel like a stealth ops badass
>have to fight stealth ops
They should have put counter-op in that game. (one guy is Ryu the other is one of the enemies)

I like NG2 more than 1.

NG does a bunch of things better like world design and sense of exploration and wonder and doesn't have a ton of projectiles flying around like in NG2 but the combat is just soooo much better in NG2. You have more weapons, each has way more combos than before and then there are the obliteration techniques. And looks damn good.

No game has provided anywhere near as much satisfaction.
Oh lord.
Only game I've ever gona back and immediately started again on hard, and enjoyed just as much the whole way through.

this was a game from the golden era.

challenging, but conquerable via pure skill. awesome upgrade system, very unique bosses and enemies

Made the best 2 action games ever and once he left the rest of the team immediately killed the series. NGS2 was a big step down and NG3 seemd absolutely horrible. I looked at some dudes play for like half an hour with commentary and they pretty much confirmed you just mash buttons now.

This game made me into a man.

Best theme in the game.

Is it me, or was she a LOT easier the second time around?

Those lightning worm fuckers were shit.

She was. I was like OH NO NOT HER AGAIN NOO- oh it's over.

She's an odd one, some people say her first form is the hardest and her second was easy while others state the opposite.
Generally I find her first form a bitch and her second a pushover.

Who is more annoying guys, that zombie archer in Ninja Gaiden? Or the Anor Londo Archers from Dark Souls?

Dark Souls is easier than this crap. At least in dark souls when you die it's your fault. But in ninja gaiden...oh boy.

I think NGB is the closest a game has ever come to making me feel like a martial arts master.

But the zombie archers are easy as shit and were essentially free essence.
