hey man i love your content and i was super curious to see your reaction to the new ninja gaiden 2 and im glad that for the most part we are loving this. growing up every time i asked people did they play ninja gaiden 2 and most people said they never heard of it. to me it seems that not a lot of people knew how goated this game was and im really happy to see the old heads and the new heads playing and enjoying it. tbh im scared of going to sleep cuz i feel like when i wake up it all would have been a dream like theres no way our prayers got answered this well especially with some reverts to sigma 2's design its lovely. god bless
Man I wish they actually had the OG codes for this game and then remade it, NGB2 would have easily been a instant buy for me,not gonna lie it looks really good but it's just a pretty version of NGS2 with a few elements of og 2,hopefully they patch in karma and a couple of other things like more enemies maybe idk, because if they can put in elements from ng2 maybe they can squeeze in more hopefully
The problem is not having the OG code or not, if they wanted this game to be exactly like NG2, they would have done it easily. All the changes are completely intentional including the removal of the karma.
@@youuuuuuuuuuutube if modders could add more enemies with mods for old Sigma 2 while also changing number values and everything so it stay closer to 360 version, what is stoping the devs to do it then?
It's good but it could be great we need to try constructively reach out to team ninja so they implement some of these things such as more spawns into either master ninja or a higher/classic difficulty mode
I'm honestly surprised they didn't do that. That's what I was thinking they would do. If I were in the directors chair I would have tried to make a mode like that a priority. Maybe an ultimate ninja mode like in razor's edge. In this age of updates and patches it should be possible.
Having Mentor and MN the OG spawns and things like the Minions on bosses while the others difficulty modes Sigma spawns would had been the Best of both worlds tbh
Saw Team Ninja post on twitter there will be some updates coming, and (paraphrasing) they said they got feedback, and will be adding some things. no details on what tho. not sure why they didn't just make the karma window a thing you can switch on/off in the settings, if they don't think the typical player wants to see that. I personally am not a fan of it but that's because I'm just trying to focus on learning the game. i can def see why seasoned players want that on the screen.
Gotta say, I REALLY hate that they moved the OT tutorial area away from here at 21:13. It's a small, silly thing, but it's just that they made the Glory Kill tutorial area so SIMILAR in Doom 4 (2016) that I like to think that was a direct reference to NGII.
So happy to get anything new, old, or remade that has Ninja Gaiden in the title! What are your thoughts? Does it feel just like the original. I hear it was remade with Unreal Engine, just hoping it doesn't feel different. NG Black and NG 2 played flawlessly, imo.
I think I'll probably just get the Master Collection at some point. I already have Sigma 1+2 and I've never played 3. Seems like something they did just to get 2 on Unreal for future re-releases.
I expected a Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Black. My only expectation was for them to fix the weapon upgrade mechanic from Sigma 2. Fixing that would actually make me play a Sigma game for the first time. I still play 2 on the 360 almost weekly and its more cathartic than most other gaming options so this reiteration could be fun as long as I can upgrade the dragon sword to lvl 3 by the second chapter, its an instant comfort device for me to powerlevel instantly in a game that still punished you for making mistakes regardless how much damage/sustainable you are. I'm just scared if this game can even give me that cathartic return I get from the original. I'm way past the hi-def rhetoric, Ninja GAIDEN Black was a good enough looking title for me to want to replay that since this title kind of infringes on NG Black as well.
badass as always man, i think ur visual settings might be a little off though? i’m playing on console and my game looks a lot brighter and poppier. maybe hdr? not sure
Id rather Ninja Gaiden have the realistic look to it like this than for them to go with the theme they tried to do in Yaiba. Like yeah the art style to Borderlands is pretty cool, but not every game needs to look like a cartoon just like every game doesn't need to look realistic. This game pulls the realistic look off well.
So after playing a good bit on this game, ill say, it's so fucking watered down compared to the og ng. Litterally in one of the rooms with enemies in the statue of Liberty, there's no enemies that spawned. Litterally cut out a whole segment.
@@hakunamatata7056 oh damn, then the remake is the only valid option if you're going for NGII, although the difference between Sigma in Master collection and Remake is very small
@@hakunamatata7056 don't want to cause a commotion here, but in my opinion NG BLACK 2 is the best choice. The master collection is great but NG BLACK 2 feels like a new game, the collection feels like a remaster. In my case I played NG black on the original Xbox, and NG2 on Xbox 360. Don't wanna cause a discussion I just don't want a fellow ninja to pass this opportunity.
I'm glad a lot of people know what Team NINJA did. And there's people saying "ungrateful community". Just shut up, don't you see the studio threw a Sigma 2 remaster saying it was NGII? At least it is Sigma 2 fixed, yes, but calling it "Black" was MASSIVE mistake. Just Sigma 2 Razor's Edge.
50 bucks for this is overpriced af. For 20 maybe i would "consider" the investment. But either the game or the price do not deliver for me. I guess ill have to plug my old 360 again.

@@mourossonero It's reserved for chapter challenge
The actual problem is how hard would be to use the source code, not really lost.
Delimbs are definitely better than in the original Sigma 2. I remember the first claw enemies would not delimb no matter what even on hard mode.
I'm pretty sure it's the same. It's random whether or not enemies delimb.
@@agreedboarart3188 Nope. You even one shot claw ninjas with izuna. In sigma 2 on warrior they are survive

Haven't watched the whole VoD yet, but yeah... that was the FIRST THING I did too, was to make the controls a bit more like Vanilla NGII, lol.

All the streamers streaming this game up. But we know who the og guy to watch is 😏
NG 2 black is a missnomer. I mean I like sigma 2 but guess purists will still hate it. At least they fixed the weapon upgrade system.
As someone that hás doing master ninja dificulty on the ps5 with the master colection i fucking hated the upgrading in sigma 2
Dont know if you ended up figuring it out, but you can adjust brightness by going to the HDR settings.
No karma window = no purchase. Thanks for saving me money.
So happy to get anything new, old, or remade that has Ninja Gaiden in the title!

Your review of this is the only one I care about
I wish they also remake OG Ninja Gaiden that game has SO MUCH potential.
They likely didn't do it because people remember NG2 more
i was so happy for ngb2 but i would be more if they would have released both ngb and ng2b
@@HayabusaMasterNinjawow. I for one am happy. I remember pre ordering ninja gaiden 2 after playing ninja gaiden black.

This isnt ngb 2 lmao this is just sigma 2. What a disappointment. Ngb 1 forever will be the best game.

Buy this.
Buy Master collection and put NGIIMOD on it that returns all blood and makes AI more aggressive

Just did that, mate. NG2 is king
So far, I feel like the Xbox 360 version of NG2, is the best version still.
I don't like new effects either, and way too much blood, it's everywhere.
It could called NG sigma 2 remake 😂
I'm at the part where he puts the graphics to low and the game doesmt look as weird and jank at 60 to me
There's so little camera shake and the vfx aren't as prominent. It really takes some of the visceral feel away
Pretty mid remaster so far jsut sigma 2 reskin I kinda wasted my money🤣
We all did, bro. 😞
Don’t buy before reading reviews dude.
Yep, was just play OG NG2 and noticed how lacking NG2 """Black""" was in enemy density
@@khoavo5758specially with Team NINJA saying this was OG but was Sigma 2. What a misleading marketing.
Be grateful.
Why you say that?
