I just think releasing a game like this without letting you invite friends in 2023 is inexcusable, most people play games like this so they can play with their friends
It's not the game is dlc compacted with previous games to give it some value this guy receives codes doesn't give a single dollar to buy anything for him everything is okay or great and For us it's the same shit with a different name
Everyone knows the boss fights were the highlights of storm over the years. That being said, they should’ve just had a boss rush mode where you only fight the major bosses from the past storm games with the button sequences still included.
Good job, you predicted their upcoming dlc, they are so obvious and so hungry for money that they gonna make us paid for something that it should be included in the release of the game
@@ezelegui7901make you pay* I'm not buying this poorly excused of a "new game" until either they add a ton of extra features and content or it goes on sale for like 10 bucks
Naruto fighterz sounds amazing and I do miss the PS2 ultimate ninja games along with Uzumaki Chronicles, and a clash of ninja series which a lot of people don’t even know what that is today. Everybody just usually jumps on storm or Shinobi strikers or maybe even a phone game
The storm series has been one of my favourites of all time and I have purchased them all, including pre-ordering since generations onwards and re-buying the first trilogy on PS4. But this one is where I draw the line. Thank you for a great and honest review Globku, I'll wait to see if it's a more complete experience down the line
I was young and mostly got them as birthday presents haha, but I would argue that especially as an Xbox 360 player they offered a lot better new content and additions than this one has. Plus they were more complete on release and didn't have day 1 season passes like this one. Generations was the first game I got to play as all the storm 1 characters because 1 isn't on Xbox 360, and also the revolutions tournament mode was something very new for the series. I do think they brought way more gameplay changes for a cheaper price, and those games had a much smaller release window between each one, but I do see your point
I am glad I watched your review. I was thinking "Oh its all 4 games combined into an easy package". Story mode being slide shows instantly turned me away.
@@daizenmarcurio for story? 2-3-4 for sure instead, cover all shippuden (storm 1 had not a good story mode). for gameplay? this one seems the better one, but already storm 4 is good (you're on pc? if yes storm 4 wasn't super great on 60 fps)
What bothers me the most is the many steps back CC2 once again made here. Just look at all the content they removed: selectable Jutsu such as Kakashi's dog summons and super unique tilts such as Madara's Uchiha Reflection, Itachi's Crow Dash or Edo Hashirama's Heavenly Gates. Not to mention the chakra shuriken. Safe for the few new characters, Storm 4 seems like a superior game all around
Yep. So many cool moves just wasted. And adding damage scaling was dumb. I can confidently say that this is just storm for casuals. I hope Storm 5 will be good.
I personally think they should have let this game cook more and we got it sometime next year, I have probably said this before but this could have been a game where it connected a lot of things in terms of naruto hence it's name Connections. I wouldn't mind seeing some filler ninja as playable like Sora from the fire temple, they could have brought Bando, Kagura, Towa and Komachi from clash of ninja rev 2. Like there was so much they could have done especially with the fact any trailer you find brings up the 20th anniversary and I feel as a big 3 it should have had more, content, new playable ninjas, MORE TIME. I for one wouldn't have minded the wait and the collector's edition looks really cool but for a game that could have just been a expansion I sadly won't be picking this up at full price maybe not even on sale.
@@TheJusticeLeague I know it's a cash grab, it's just naruto was my first anime and so I just wish it would get it's respect and something better for it's games, still annoyed on shinobi striker STILL getting support.
As someone who was really hoping the story for this game would be a free roam perfect blend with tons and tons of single player content seeing how long it takes to beat storm 1-4's story mode in one sitting... I was really disappointed to hear that they just rehashed everything and used the storm 4 type of mission selection where it's through menus. I don't think I'll be buying this either, and now this game makes me very concerned for the future of Budokai tenkaichi 4, and if we ever get a burning blood 2.
I think it's crazy how small little details we got in Storm 4, like the lightning effect on water are completely gone in this game for no good reason at all
CC2 lost something when they went from the Ps2 ultimate ninja era to the storm Ps3 era. They used to put so much care into all of the characters. Even old characters where constantly being reworked with new combos, ultimates, and jutsus for each game. I like the storm series but the og ultimate ninja series will always be peak CC2.
I also miss the mini games from the ps2 games too. I think that the mini games added some nice variety to the games honestly. Not to mention that the ps2 ultimates were cooler than the storm ones in my opinion too. Honestly it would be cool if they remade those games or made another game in a similar style to test waters.
I loved Ultimate Ninja 3 it's one of my favourite games to this day, and it annoys me characters like Shizune, Anko and Kurenai were never playable characters in any Storm game.
@@SailorSteph same! Also I agree! They already have their models in the older storm games because they used to be support characters. I don't get why they can't make them playable as well. At least they're playable in the Naruto ultimate ninja games on ps2 and psp and the clash of ninja games.
I'm waiting for someone to make a showcase of all the changes to old characters. Seeing Lee do the Leaf Combo Attack in the air (13:56) was pretty wild...
No one can convince me that the pre-selection for online is good, if people want that it's alright, but also give us the option to select on the spot, I forgot to change character in Demon Slayer and lost on Ranked because of it, not to mention whenever you want a different stage.
Are there any fighting games that let you select the character and stage online as you're playing? I play a lot of them, and I can't think of any. Also, why is preselection bad? I feel like it just saves time going from match to match only having to do it once.
@@sampletext02I personally don’t like it because I play multiple characters I don’t play just one character/team. This game isn’t so bad cuz you can change your full team after a match but going into it you have to select before you search. But other games like street fighter for example make it to where you can only play that character you pre selected before searching. So say if you lose but think you can beat whoever you’re fighting with another character, well it’s too bad cuz you’d have to exit to the menu to simply change character and you’d never find that person again to try and beat them
@@AlemanHyuga I see. Yeah, I guess I've played 2D fighters so long I haven't really ever thought about having that option before, I can see why people might want it. Especially in this game, where the characters are easy to play and you can switch pretty comfortably.
@@sampletext02 Storm 2, Storm Generations, Storm 3, Storm Revolution, Storm 4. It saves team if you like using only a specific character but most people liked the freedom of choosing after finding the opponent, plus if you wanted to save time there were already presets you could use, this just complicates it, not to mention how annoying it is to have to change the stages too.
In my opinion in order for me to get back into the game is the online modes, I'd recommend bringing out modes like co-op boss fights where the boss has a huge handicap compared to the players, kind of like how fighterz did their content.
Naruto is my favorite anime ever and I understand how people may feel about Boruto but I actually think they be better off making a full Boruto game. I know the lie ending situation prevents that but enough people advocated for it, I think we could make it happen.
well Boruto is not that good of a story and the anime with all those fillers is even worse however Boruto : Two Blue Vortex so far as been better than Boruto.
Agree tbh. I hate the boruto anime and manga a lot, but it just makes more sense to make a game focused on boruto. Not only would there be a lot more NEW content, but we would get new characters and a storyline that no other naruto game has ever covered before, which is much better than a rehash storyline like this game
@@symphonixbladesTBV is only 3 chapters in, idk why your saying part 2 is better when it barely started. Comparing 3 chapters from part 2 to the 80 chapters from part 1 is not enough to make a proper comparison 💀. Other than that, I’m sure you guys don’t want to keep playing the same game over and over. It’s time to move the fuck on. Brand new gameplay style, new engine, we need something fresh.
Agreed, If Boruto series cant stand on its own without Naruto then what is even the point of the show!? Send it out to sink or swim. Lets see if the cash grab series can grab some cash!
I absolutely agree! For me It's not worth the money. For me, it's mostly because it lacks more characters - Boruto Gen or the Boruto versions of Naruto Gen with new moveset and not just copy and paste. Remove counter. Story is okay, nothing huge there, could have been better and more depth. Expected more details and more environmental damage or something on the new-gen PS5. Why remove the tilt to just put it as second jutsu and now tilt does nothing. The game feels like a big DLC tbh. Sad, but it is what it is. Nice to have a storm game with hopefully a lot of people online again.
I was happy when I heard a new Storm was coming out but it did raise red flags because they said Storm 4 would be the last Storm ever. And unfortunately the game seems disappointing with the removal of chakra shuriken, tilt and jutsu selection.
Honestly this whole game feels misguided. Like they're desperately attempting to make a "competitive" game with the standard hallmarks that people THINK make for a healthy e-sport. The problem is these games are just casual as hell from their inception. No post-launch support is suddenly going to turn this around. Plus, the online folks are the minority when it comes to sales of the Storm series. Most people are in it for the single player/playing with friends. CC2 will probably taken a financial hit with this, especially after factoring in all the post-launch support they promise to do. Eventually companies will learn that you just need to make a fun game and the rest will naturally follow.
I just don't get how CC2 is always deleting features from the game. Like I would love to have somehow a more complex Naruto with more moves and tricks. They removed the 4th combo long time ago, wall running, clashes, tilt (special unique technique), special shurikan ect. It's frustrating. Now they barely added any new characters, meanwhile we know exactly that there is more being sold later as a DLC. In 7 years of development this is such an incomplete game/product. The story really is underwhelming and the story characters are not even available as fighters in the game. It would be refreshing if there was another publisher bringing some competition to the table.
Basically as you said it's a Storm generations 2.0, so the big piece must and I hope it will arrive with Boruto Storm 5, also because it wouldn't make sense to put playable characters like kara, Kawaki or Bayron mode Naruto without the canonical story ,anyway I can't wait to play it. PS it's the first time I've looked at your review and I have to say that you're really good, nice to look at, easy to understand, quality. ✌️
Yeah this definitely looks like its builiding towards a boruto focused game in the future, which is exciting even though I dont like the boruto anime/manga. It would be dope to have a boruto game just so we can have more new content to play. If they do end up making a boruto game, I'd even settle for getting anime-original characters such as kagura, Shizuma, Sumiere, Deppa, or the weird stone ninja puppets from the mitsuki rescue arc. A boruto storm 5 could actually have so much content, and its really inexcusable that boruto has been a manga for almost 10 years now and still doesnt have a console game that focuses on its full story.
@@wasupman777 Content wise, it basically is just a large dlc pack. The only thing that even makes it KIND OF feel like a new game is the new-combo centered mechanics. Visual wise, content wise, and price wise, this just feels a cheap cashgrab. I hate when games announce paid DLC before the game even drops, because all that content could've been in the base game if the developers really wanted to.
Must be dlc at least I hope. I have been dying to play as the 7 mist swordsmen since fighting against them as kakashi in storm 3 just have to see what’s up with that season pass
as someone who has already played all the storm games the story mode doesn't upset me too much, but i get it if it's your firdt storm. i think the only major problem is not being able to invite friends, but it's a game built to last years and follow the new boruto manga so overall i'd say it's worth it
I've played all of the storm games too. In fact, I was very surprised some people were complaining about slideshows in the story mode. Naruto Storm Generations had slideshows in their story mode.
I recommend you who pre purchased the game, refund it, send a message to their wallets to make a real game or at least to get a sale on it its price is unjustifiable the 60+ price tag
I was considering getting this if the story mode was good. It would have been really cool to play through the entire Naruto saga in a single game. But I'm not buying it for a glorified powerpoint presentation inbetween the fights.
I would have definitely hoped not have to whether another rocky start to eventually love a game but this kind of release really hurts to see. That said many of the adjustments I wanted are present and hopefully the issues that remain are addressed sooner rather than later.
i think this game will be a live service one, and we will probably have multiple season passes, with new characters and maybe new stories (they still didn't adapt the last). i will be not surprised if we get battle passes or something like that lol
@@Bogdone013 some people are just going overboard like Globku rn. I don't think Bandai gave them a greenlight to spoil the game before it's released. Senju in Japan got the game too and his video didn't contain any spoilers.
I got to try this game at MCM last month and I already dug the changes I did notice, especially the second Jutsu replacing super shurikens. Now I know everything, I'm grabbing this as soon as possible.
Sad this THIS is the game they’re trying to make last for months on end. That THIS is the best the team could’ve done. We know what CC2 can do. This was a half-baked game. Missing online features, missing polish to soundboard and cutscenes. Missing a better planned out history mode. Like why would I recommend this game when I can tell them to buy legacy and they can play the ACTUAL history of the whole series the way it’s supposed to? Fully animated cutscenes. Literally the only thing this game got right was the netcode. They chose this game to be the one that lasts but they did everything in their power to push people away from buying it. So much more could’ve been done. I really don’t understand. People are done buying unfinished games just because of the brand. I don’t think this game will last but we will see
There doesn't seem to be enough content for me to pick this up on launch for full price but Storm games usually have long lives so I'll eventually get it and see what's up for myself. Thanks for the review!
as someone that's played all the previous games, it's fine. the best part about the game is the fighting, so i'm personally not missing the free roam and multi enemy fights. the free roam in generations 2 was pretty bad compared to rise of a ninja / broken bonds.
I would recommend picking up the Storm Trilogy if you can find it for cheap. Storm 1, 2, and 3 are all in one package. I finished Storm 3 last month and I still like those boss battles (except that last boss battle which is a bit of a grind).
13:39 We got voice dub in Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese (I think) in Storm 4 as well, it is really cool to see the other new languages but I thought pointing it out was for the better
Storm 3 was, is and forever will be the best storm game ever launched. IDK why the just don't keep the online modes the same i mean we had spectators lobbies even tournaments on ps3 but ps5 we get half a game for 10$ more
How did they manage to disappointed with the history mode. All they had to do was make a few new boss fights retool the old ones and I would have been satisfied
@@bruceh98more like they just added that in there to bait Naruto games to buy the game. It’s just to pad the game out. All of their efforts went into the special story mode.
@@UnravelGhoulxwhich isn't unexpected or even necessarily a bad thing. The History Mode is very much side content, at least how it's presented here. The Special Story Mode seems like the main draw to me, at least in terms of where the effort went. Problem is, the game was almost entirely marketed on the History Mode, and most of it isn't even the good content. The previous Storm stories were always hailed for their production value, presentation, and boss fights, but almost none of that is actually here, which means the History Mode ends up feeling like it was tacked on as nostalgia bait rather than being designed to celebrate the franchise and bring in returning players.
I still have naruto storm collections. I was waiting for this review because I was really not sure if I should buy this game. But now I know it is better to wait. Thanks for the review
Spot on review in my opinion. As a long time storm supporter and Naruto games in general, it’s a bittersweet game. It’s a more refined storm 4 with a graphics buff. There needs to be more content…biggest thing holding this game back. It blows my mind that character models and move sets exist for some characters that for some reason haven’t been added. There should be at least 20+ characters in this game, more Justus, more cinematic combos, more UJ, more costumes, customizable awakenings, better stage mechanics and translations. At this point it’s pure extortion..but i guess I’m the problem for buying it
I've been playing Naruto games since the PlayStation era and having grown up watching Naruto in french it feels so refreshing to have the voice actors of my childhood voice the characters for the first time ever
Well looks like I'm not getting this game, can't believe the game is missing content, it's meant to be the ultimate collection of storm games before storm 5, but looks like it missed
The lack of punishment for quitting is honestly a good thing. For storm 4 and demon slayer both i racked up a bunch of disconnections just from the game crashing. The system doesnt mean anything when it just turns into how many times you have crashed.
@@earthygoku no what? What's the point if the disconnection isn't even anyone's fault? Or if you can easily pass off the ones you do have as just being crashes even if you do rage quit? It literally doesn't mean rage quits anymore it's a crash counter made to make everyone look like a rage quitter when they aren't.
The game should just do a strike system on dc. If you're disconnecting consistently, that's probably a sign that you shouldn't be playing at the moment. There's gotta be some kind of penalty for people who do it on purpose.
@@atpr3241 the only thing I can think they could do is what they had in storm 2 where it essentially said "out of the last 10 matches, this is how many they have disconnected from" that system allowed you to actually earn your way back into not looking like a rage quitter instead of just having be a permanent shame on someone's record. As long as you aren't just actively doing it all the time you were good there was no permanent record for it. And that was before games even crashed all the time and I think it would work a lot better now than it did back then cause now more than ever you should be able to earn your way back from that when all you did to get them was crash. And to your point, if the player sees they have like 8/10 disconnections, you can probably assume for yourself that this person is a rage quitter and decide not to fight them. But the current system doesn't work when crashing is a thing. Again to your point but for the opposite side, I actually got a temporary ban from demon slayer for crashing too many times in a row. A probably 2 day old game and I couldnt touch online cause I wanted to push through the crashes and keep playing. So an actual built in punishment for the frequency of the crashes doesn't really work either, but to see "oh this person has a ridiculous amount of his last 10 matches as disconnects" would work perfectly fine for the player to decide for themself. Up to storm revolution everything should have had the current system, but now it's just needlessly punishing players that don't even do anything wrong even going as far as temporary bans and the storm 2 system is what we need. The current system with crashing being a thing incentivises people to quit just as much as not having a penalty at all does.
Over all I like Storm connections for what it is. And my absolute favorite thing about this game is that you can toggle stage ring outs on or off cause that danger drop made me not pick those stages in previous storm games. So it feels nice to be able to fight on the great Naruto bridge without having to deal with ring outs if you don't want to.
This shill kept yapping how good this game was. Made all his money by praising the game when it wasn't out and the hype was there and now rates the game bad as it's losing hype.
season pass is the biggest crime in games…it’s like saying hey buy our unfinished crap to pay again later for stuff that could be available on release…the more suckers fall into this the more it gets worse.
Being able to filter out PS4 players via a "60 FPS" filter option is one of the _strangest_ things I heard for these games For reference, Guilty Gear Xrd Sign (the 1st Xrd version) had PS3 to PS4 crossplay back in _2014_ Hopefully CyberConnect can address this with the other online mode complaints in the future
If I don't want to be forced to play 30 FPS, then I can choose to. I am glad they give me the option to leave out PS4 players. I refuse to play at 30 FPS unless it's one of the two friends I have left that are still on PS4.
To clarify: by "Hopefully CyberConnect can address this" I mean that I hope that CC2 could optimize the game to run at 60 fps on PS4. That shouldn't need a PS5 solely to be possible
This game is also Xbox One X Enhanced and I’m guessing It’s Pro Enhanced to and this is the first time a Storm game for those consoles got Enhanced but I’m not sure if it will be 60fps which I still think they could do while having higher Resolution.
If they kept this game how it is and added a free for all tournament kinda like they did in revolution i totally wouldnt mind buying it. Specially if they made a free for all online type of tournament with ranks it would be more competitive and fun in my opinion
I wish they let people review it a week before release so we had more time to choose if we were gonna buy it but hey getting to know something before it comes out is better then nothing
It's kind of discouraging to those who decided to buy on Friday, imagine a reviewer telling you the game is not worth it when it's not even out yet. I've pre-ordered mine so I ain't watching any full reviews 2 days prior.
I was going to buy this instead of Storm 4 for switch as I wanted a switch Naruto game to just relive the story. But after I found out that this cuts a lot of story battles and seems to be more like a season pass kinda of game where online seems to be the main focus, I am just gonna buy storm 4
Did anyone else notice bugs during special story cause I was playing last night and noticed the game getting stuck during dialogue noticed a few typos sometime the character npcs would disappear during animations and reappear
Honestly I just hope they give older characters additional ultimates for there boruto outfits. It's the least they can do. And hopefully something new for there combos is well welcomed to. I'm tired of characters like ino, choji,shikamaru, Sai, Kiba, hinata, shino, lee, tenten, neji and so on be practically the same character since storm 2 with very minimal changes. They need some love if ima support this game
Damn the gameplay actually looks pretty different with the new combos and mechanics. I think I was little too harsh on the original reveal trailer. Gotta make a new vid when I cop the game‼Thank god for the net code improvement. I've been waiting for something like that in a Storm game for YEARS. Hopefully they patch in sending invites to friends ( i never thought that such a simple feature would ever need to be patched 🥴). Even with that being said, I think that there's the foundation of a great game here.
@@huntersoper4531tf does something being a money grab have to do with people who just simply want to have fun? You people really need a break from y’all’s phone 🤦🏾💀
I think the reason why a bunch of cutscenes are pre rendered is likely due to it also being on the switch and that device not being able to handle those cutscenes natively…
One thing that would help me decide if I buy this is: Is there any improvements in the AI's fighting? Does it use the combo system? In previous games the AI was way too easy to beat, even on highest difficuilty, and I like to play against good AI in fighting games, like in Mortal Kombat AI is challenging enough for me.
I really hope they listen and update this game down the line, I know it probably isn't possible but something like crossplay. It is a crazy stretch and probably will not happen but if they were to add something like crossplay down the line like how they are adding custom matches, that would be cool.
The thing that tires me out about these games is them talking about the size of the roster. Like yeah it's 130 characters. But on the first page you have 6 Naruto, 3 Kakashi, 2 Guy
Im a huge fan of this series from the first game but the fact the same issues people have had since storm 3 still have not been sorted and they continue to recycle content acting like its a good thing without significant updates to old characters that need and the addition of bad features and the removal of yet more good features just takes the cake for me. If they wanted to put this out to gauge interest and fund a storm 5 then they have truly failed.
I get why some people are mad, but the thing I’am most angry about is no support of crossplay. This was the biggest bummer. Just imagine having players from all of the platforms play together, it would be awesome for the game as well. Since I’am on PC, I hope it wont be dead in a year…
@@technolibra i would love to know as well, only thing I know about is crossgen, not crossplay, it would be a dream come true for this game to have crossplay but the game just doesnt support it
I'm glad everyone was hype for the new game but as an anime community we cannot let anyone be it Bandai, CC2, ANYONE Charge almost full price for a game this lacking in online features. History mode is only a couple hours same thing with the special mode so what the hell are you supposed to play after that? Thanks for the great Review Globku. sorry for the little Rant
Should be an interesting review. Saw your earlier post. Combo scaling is very welcome but still this all could have been an update for Storm 4. History mode of course is as expected😅 If any of its promise is fulfilled, I will pick this up for less than $30. All of this could have been done in an update to storm 4😂
@@lostbankai6521 how are the small changes in combat are enough to justify the price tag of 70$ for a base game? + the season pass which is obviously won't be free. to justify that price tag the game should have at least not made the history mode a pile of trash
What's sad is that being extremely lazy with anime IPs is actually a perfectly good business strategy. low quality, low risk, recycled material will still get the fanboys to buy. Sure they can invest more and try to be innovative and actually attempt to create good games but why would they? it's naruto IP, it'll sell with minimal effort. I really hope arc system gets a shot with more anime IPs, also jjk looks promising.
i use to like these games till i realised they not actually fighting games, its fun, but def more fun to watch than play i would actually say these games were a better way to watch the show without all the filler

@@MasterNochithey game would stayed dead
@haunt7121 I like free things, wonder why they can't just add the characters now at release rather than having us pay for them later.
I am glad I watched your review. I was thinking "Oh its all 4 games combined into an easy package". Story mode being slide shows instantly turned me away.
They could've copy and pasted the story mode from 3 and I would've been satisfied. Ultimate my ass!
Same
Exactly! On point!
the gameplay is essentially the same as storm 1
power point presentation ☠️
Also worth noting is that the history mode has less boss fights than the original story modes. For example there is no night guy in the history mode

What bothers me the most is the many steps back CC2 once again made here.
Just look at all the content they removed: selectable Jutsu such as Kakashi's dog summons and super unique tilts such as Madara's Uchiha Reflection, Itachi's Crow Dash or Edo Hashirama's Heavenly Gates. Not to mention the chakra shuriken.
Safe for the few new characters, Storm 4 seems like a superior game all around
All those skills are completely GONE? damn ,madaras reflection was my favorite
@@deonvoorhees1589 yup, they're completely gone now :/
wtf that is horrible@@Reveal_City
Yep. So many cool moves just wasted. And adding damage scaling was dumb. I can confidently say that this is just storm for casuals. I hope Storm 5 will be good.
@@GigondSuperGnom i doubt we will see storm 5 considering that connections will most likely fail imo
I personally think they should have let this game cook more and we got it sometime next year, I have probably said this before but this could have been a game where it connected a lot of things in terms of naruto hence it's name Connections. I wouldn't mind seeing some filler ninja as playable like Sora from the fire temple, they could have brought Bando, Kagura, Towa and Komachi from clash of ninja rev 2. Like there was so much they could have done especially with the fact any trailer you find brings up the 20th anniversary and I feel as a big 3 it should have had more, content, new playable ninjas, MORE TIME. I for one wouldn't have minded the wait and the collector's edition looks really cool but for a game that could have just been a expansion I sadly won't be picking this up at full price maybe not even on sale.
It’s a cash grab for the Naruto anniversary. Ninja storm 4 was meant to be the last game in the series. But Bandai wanted this.
@@TheJusticeLeague I know it's a cash grab, it's just naruto was my first anime and so I just wish it would get it's respect and something better for it's games, still annoyed on shinobi striker STILL getting support.
As someone who was really hoping the story for this game would be a free roam perfect blend with tons and tons of single player content seeing how long it takes to beat storm 1-4's story mode in one sitting... I was really disappointed to hear that they just rehashed everything and used the storm 4 type of mission selection where it's through menus. I don't think I'll be buying this either, and now this game makes me very concerned for the future of Budokai tenkaichi 4, and if we ever get a burning blood 2.
I definitely really hope these season passes are actually heavy and frequent. This game needs MORE
they will do all of what you suggested, but you gonna have to pay 10 dollars for each thing
I think it's crazy how small little details we got in Storm 4, like the lightning effect on water are completely gone in this game for no good reason at all
5:21 I'm really glad cyber connect took the time to show this intimate moment with Naruto and his dead son at his favorite swing set 😊
😂 I f*ckin cracked up @ this.
CC2 lost something when they went from the Ps2 ultimate ninja era to the storm Ps3 era. They used to put so much care into all of the characters. Even old characters where constantly being reworked with new combos, ultimates, and jutsus for each game. I like the storm series but the og ultimate ninja series will always be peak CC2.
Too many characters introduced as the series progressed, makes it harder to balance so shitty mechanics. PS2 games had the luxury of a smaller cast.
I also miss the mini games from the ps2 games too. I think that the mini games added some nice variety to the games honestly. Not to mention that the ps2 ultimates were cooler than the storm ones in my opinion too. Honestly it would be cool if they remade those games or made another game in a similar style to test waters.
@@GodhandPhemto to be honest those games had almost 70 characters (ultimate ninja 3 to 5) which is a lot too despite being less than the storm games.
I loved Ultimate Ninja 3 it's one of my favourite games to this day, and it annoys me characters like Shizune, Anko and Kurenai were never playable characters in any Storm game.
@@SailorSteph same! Also I agree! They already have their models in the older storm games because they used to be support characters. I don't get why they can't make them playable as well. At least they're playable in the Naruto ultimate ninja games on ps2 and psp and the clash of ninja games.
I'm waiting for someone to make a showcase of all the changes to old characters. Seeing Lee do the Leaf Combo Attack in the air (13:56) was pretty wild...
2nd hokage grab teleports him to the enemy☠ shit's wild
No one can convince me that the pre-selection for online is good, if people want that it's alright, but also give us the option to select on the spot, I forgot to change character in Demon Slayer and lost on Ranked because of it, not to mention whenever you want a different stage.
Are there any fighting games that let you select the character and stage online as you're playing? I play a lot of them, and I can't think of any. Also, why is preselection bad? I feel like it just saves time going from match to match only having to do it once.
@@sampletext02I personally don’t like it because I play multiple characters I don’t play just one character/team. This game isn’t so bad cuz you can change your full team after a match but going into it you have to select before you search. But other games like street fighter for example make it to where you can only play that character you pre selected before searching. So say if you lose but think you can beat whoever you’re fighting with another character, well it’s too bad cuz you’d have to exit to the menu to simply change character and you’d never find that person again to try and beat them
@@AlemanHyuga I see. Yeah, I guess I've played 2D fighters so long I haven't really ever thought about having that option before, I can see why people might want it. Especially in this game, where the characters are easy to play and you can switch pretty comfortably.
@@sampletext02 Storm 2, Storm Generations, Storm 3, Storm Revolution, Storm 4.
It saves team if you like using only a specific character but most people liked the freedom of choosing after finding the opponent, plus if you wanted to save time there were already presets you could use, this just complicates it, not to mention how annoying it is to have to change the stages too.
Finally someone talked about this, to me this is the worst thing in this game it’s a downgrade
In my opinion in order for me to get back into the game is the online modes, I'd recommend bringing out modes like co-op boss fights where the boss has a huge handicap compared to the players, kind of like how fighterz did their content.
Naruto is my favorite anime ever and I understand how people may feel about Boruto but I actually think they be better off making a full Boruto game. I know the lie ending situation prevents that but enough people advocated for it, I think we could make it happen.
well Boruto is not that good of a story and the anime with all those fillers is even worse however Boruto : Two Blue Vortex so far as been better than Boruto.
L. Boruto sucks
Agree tbh. I hate the boruto anime and manga a lot, but it just makes more sense to make a game focused on boruto. Not only would there be a lot more NEW content, but we would get new characters and a storyline that no other naruto game has ever covered before, which is much better than a rehash storyline like this game
@@symphonixbladesTBV is only 3 chapters in, idk why your saying part 2 is better when it barely started. Comparing 3 chapters from part 2 to the 80 chapters from part 1 is not enough to make a proper comparison 💀.
Other than that, I’m sure you guys don’t want to keep playing the same game over and over. It’s time to move the fuck on. Brand new gameplay style, new engine, we need something fresh.
Agreed, If Boruto series cant stand on its own without Naruto then what is even the point of the show!? Send it out to sink or swim. Lets see if the cash grab series can grab some cash!
I absolutely agree!
For me
It's not worth the money.
For me, it's mostly because it lacks more characters - Boruto Gen or the Boruto versions of Naruto Gen with new moveset and not just copy and paste. Remove counter. Story is okay, nothing huge there, could have been better and more depth. Expected more details and more environmental damage or something on the new-gen PS5. Why remove the tilt to just put it as second jutsu and now tilt does nothing.
The game feels like a big DLC tbh. Sad, but it is what it is. Nice to have a storm game with hopefully a lot of people online again.
You were very generous in this review
I was happy when I heard a new Storm was coming out but it did raise red flags because they said Storm 4 would be the last Storm ever. And unfortunately the game seems disappointing with the removal of chakra shuriken, tilt and jutsu selection.
jutsu selection not really gone tho
I got to play this for a total of like 20 minutes at AX earlier this year and had a ton of fun but that doesn’t even compare to playing 20 hours.
Honestly this whole game feels misguided. Like they're desperately attempting to make a "competitive" game with the standard hallmarks that people THINK make for a healthy e-sport. The problem is these games are just casual as hell from their inception. No post-launch support is suddenly going to turn this around.
Plus, the online folks are the minority when it comes to sales of the Storm series. Most people are in it for the single player/playing with friends. CC2 will probably taken a financial hit with this, especially after factoring in all the post-launch support they promise to do. Eventually companies will learn that you just need to make a fun game and the rest will naturally follow.
I just don't get how CC2 is always deleting features from the game. Like I would love to have somehow a more complex Naruto with more moves and tricks. They removed the 4th combo long time ago, wall running, clashes, tilt (special unique technique), special shurikan ect. It's frustrating. Now they barely added any new characters, meanwhile we know exactly that there is more being sold later as a DLC. In 7 years of development this is such an incomplete game/product. The story really is underwhelming and the story characters are not even available as fighters in the game. It would be refreshing if there was another publisher bringing some competition to the table.
This!
My thoughts exactly. Please lease the rights to a publisher that cares..
Basically as you said it's a Storm generations 2.0, so the big piece must and I hope it will arrive with Boruto Storm 5, also because it wouldn't make sense to put playable characters like kara, Kawaki or Bayron mode Naruto without the canonical story ,anyway I can't wait to play it.
PS
it's the first time I've looked at your review and I have to say that you're really good, nice to look at, easy to understand, quality. ✌️
Yeah this definitely looks like its builiding towards a boruto focused game in the future, which is exciting even though I dont like the boruto anime/manga. It would be dope to have a boruto game just so we can have more new content to play. If they do end up making a boruto game, I'd even settle for getting anime-original characters such as kagura, Shizuma, Sumiere, Deppa, or the weird stone ninja puppets from the mitsuki rescue arc. A boruto storm 5 could actually have so much content, and its really inexcusable that boruto has been a manga for almost 10 years now and still doesnt have a console game that focuses on its full story.
It's not a DLC dummies my goodness
@@wasupman777how so?
if it took 7 years to release this tho i don’t expect a new storm for a loooong time, especially if they plan to keep updating this one
@@wasupman777 Content wise, it basically is just a large dlc pack. The only thing that even makes it KIND OF feel like a new game is the new-combo centered mechanics. Visual wise, content wise, and price wise, this just feels a cheap cashgrab. I hate when games announce paid DLC before the game even drops, because all that content could've been in the base game if the developers really wanted to.
What I can’t and won’t forgive them is the lack of the 7 swordsmen of the mist as playable characters, what a joke…
Must be dlc at least I hope. I have been dying to play as the 7 mist swordsmen since fighting against them as kakashi in storm 3 just have to see what’s up with that season pass
So true also gin kinkaku
It feels like this game is what they would've ended up with if they spent an extra year or so with 4 in full development.
Nanashi not being playable really upsets me I hope she is dlc
nah man dont defend shitty decisionsshe shoulda been playable from the start.
as someone who has already played all the storm games the story mode doesn't upset me too much, but i get it if it's your firdt storm.
i think the only major problem is not being able to invite friends, but it's a game built to last years and follow the new boruto manga so overall i'd say it's worth it
I've played all of the storm games too. In fact, I was very surprised some people were complaining about slideshows in the story mode. Naruto Storm Generations had slideshows in their story mode.
I recommend you who pre purchased the game, refund it, send a message to their wallets to make a real game or at least to get a sale on it its price is unjustifiable the 60+ price tag
Ong
I was considering getting this if the story mode was good. It would have been really cool to play through the entire Naruto saga in a single game. But I'm not buying it for a glorified powerpoint presentation inbetween the fights.
seeing quyon in ur game is such a throwback i used to be in his streams all the times its been ages
I would have definitely hoped not have to whether another rocky start to eventually love a game but this kind of release really hurts to see. That said many of the adjustments I wanted are present and hopefully the issues that remain are addressed sooner rather than later.
i think this game will be a live service one, and we will probably have multiple season passes, with new characters and maybe new stories (they still didn't adapt the last). i will be not surprised if we get battle passes or something like that lol
The game is not even out yet and reviews are popping up everywhere.
Several people got early access and Bandai gave them the green light to release the reviews
@@Bogdone013 some people are just going overboard like Globku rn. I don't think Bandai gave them a greenlight to spoil the game before it's released. Senju in Japan got the game too and his video didn't contain any spoilers.
@@prince_badmanbroo if he review it then the review embargo already lifted
Yes that’s how it works 😂
It dropped if you pre ordered it
The story mode is essentially a Glorified boss rush barely tho because most of the bosses aren’t even there
Dude, you were hyping this up so much while everyone could tell this could have been an update.
I got to try this game at MCM last month and I already dug the changes I did notice, especially the second Jutsu replacing super shurikens. Now I know everything, I'm grabbing this as soon as possible.
Sad this THIS is the game they’re trying to make last for months on end. That THIS is the best the team could’ve done. We know what CC2 can do. This was a half-baked game. Missing online features, missing polish to soundboard and cutscenes. Missing a better planned out history mode. Like why would I recommend this game when I can tell them to buy legacy and they can play the ACTUAL history of the whole series the way it’s supposed to? Fully animated cutscenes. Literally the only thing this game got right was the netcode. They chose this game to be the one that lasts but they did everything in their power to push people away from buying it. So much more could’ve been done. I really don’t understand. People are done buying unfinished games just because of the brand. I don’t think this game will last but we will see
the connection finally being good? we were praying for times like these !!!!
Sounds like im getting this when it goes on a heavy sale
Just stick with storm 4, easily the better game from the sounds of it
Same it's literally just storm 4 with some changes and a new story
Every Storm game is the previous with some new stuff.
@@sumisu_senpai_6280 the game is dead lol atleast you can play online in connections
Same
There doesn't seem to be enough content for me to pick this up on launch for full price but Storm games usually have long lives so I'll eventually get it and see what's up for myself. Thanks for the review!
as someone who never played any of the previous games aside from storm 4, the history mode honestly doesn't sound that bad to me.
as someone that's played all the previous games, it's fine. the best part about the game is the fighting, so i'm personally not missing the free roam and multi enemy fights. the free roam in generations 2 was pretty bad compared to rise of a ninja / broken bonds.
Well duh, you have no idea what you've missed.
I would recommend picking up the Storm Trilogy if you can find it for cheap. Storm 1, 2, and 3 are all in one package. I finished Storm 3 last month and I still like those boss battles (except that last boss battle which is a bit of a grind).
13:39
We got voice dub in Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese (I think) in Storm 4 as well, it is really cool to see the other new languages but I thought pointing it out was for the better
Storm 3 was, is and forever will be the best storm game ever launched. IDK why the just don't keep the online modes the same i mean we had spectators lobbies even tournaments on ps3 but ps5 we get half a game for 10$ more
How did they manage to disappointed with the history mode. All they had to do was make a few new boss fights retool the old ones and I would have been satisfied
Either they want tò put more effort on a hypotetical storm 5...or they Just lack the effort
@@bruceh98more like they just added that in there to bait Naruto games to buy the game. It’s just to pad the game out. All of their efforts went into the special story mode.
@@UnravelGhoulxwhich isn't unexpected or even necessarily a bad thing. The History Mode is very much side content, at least how it's presented here. The Special Story Mode seems like the main draw to me, at least in terms of where the effort went.
Problem is, the game was almost entirely marketed on the History Mode, and most of it isn't even the good content. The previous Storm stories were always hailed for their production value, presentation, and boss fights, but almost none of that is actually here, which means the History Mode ends up feeling like it was tacked on as nostalgia bait rather than being designed to celebrate the franchise and bring in returning players.
@@bruceh98CC2 puts less work into each Storm game so this is definitely just a lack of effort
I wish they just retained the old fights, not remove them. No Tsunade or Jiraiya Boss fights.
I still have naruto storm collections. I was waiting for this review because I was really not sure if I should buy this game. But now I know it is better to wait. Thanks for the review
honestly, the changes to combat are pretty cool in terms of adding more depth, that being still not remotely worth full price in my opinion.
Spot on review in my opinion. As a long time storm supporter and Naruto games in general, it’s a bittersweet game. It’s a more refined storm 4 with a graphics buff. There needs to be more content…biggest thing holding this game back. It blows my mind that character models and move sets exist for some characters that for some reason haven’t been added. There should be at least 20+ characters in this game, more Justus, more cinematic combos, more UJ, more costumes, customizable awakenings, better stage mechanics and translations. At this point it’s pure extortion..but i guess I’m the problem for buying it
I've been playing Naruto games since the PlayStation era and having grown up watching Naruto in french it feels so refreshing to have the voice actors of my childhood voice the characters for the first time ever
Well looks like I'm not getting this game, can't believe the game is missing content, it's meant to be the ultimate collection of storm games before storm 5, but looks like it missed
The lack of punishment for quitting is honestly a good thing. For storm 4 and demon slayer both i racked up a bunch of disconnections just from the game crashing. The system doesnt mean anything when it just turns into how many times you have crashed.
No
@@earthygoku no what? What's the point if the disconnection isn't even anyone's fault? Or if you can easily pass off the ones you do have as just being crashes even if you do rage quit? It literally doesn't mean rage quits anymore it's a crash counter made to make everyone look like a rage quitter when they aren't.
@@wrathoftheflyingspaghettim850 no as in what about the people who do dq
The game should just do a strike system on dc. If you're disconnecting consistently, that's probably a sign that you shouldn't be playing at the moment. There's gotta be some kind of penalty for people who do it on purpose.
@@atpr3241 the only thing I can think they could do is what they had in storm 2 where it essentially said "out of the last 10 matches, this is how many they have disconnected from" that system allowed you to actually earn your way back into not looking like a rage quitter instead of just having be a permanent shame on someone's record. As long as you aren't just actively doing it all the time you were good there was no permanent record for it. And that was before games even crashed all the time and I think it would work a lot better now than it did back then cause now more than ever you should be able to earn your way back from that when all you did to get them was crash. And to your point, if the player sees they have like 8/10 disconnections, you can probably assume for yourself that this person is a rage quitter and decide not to fight them. But the current system doesn't work when crashing is a thing. Again to your point but for the opposite side, I actually got a temporary ban from demon slayer for crashing too many times in a row. A probably 2 day old game and I couldnt touch online cause I wanted to push through the crashes and keep playing. So an actual built in punishment for the frequency of the crashes doesn't really work either, but to see "oh this person has a ridiculous amount of his last 10 matches as disconnects" would work perfectly fine for the player to decide for themself. Up to storm revolution everything should have had the current system, but now it's just needlessly punishing players that don't even do anything wrong even going as far as temporary bans and the storm 2 system is what we need. The current system with crashing being a thing incentivises people to quit just as much as not having a penalty at all does.
hopefully we can see updates to the online lobby soon
Over all I like Storm connections for what it is. And my absolute favorite thing about this game is that you can toggle stage ring outs on or off cause that danger drop made me not pick those stages in previous storm games. So it feels nice to be able to fight on the great Naruto bridge without having to deal with ring outs if you don't want to.
This shill kept yapping how good this game was. Made all his money by praising the game when it wasn't out and the hype was there and now rates the game bad as it's losing hype.
season pass is the biggest crime in games…it’s like saying hey buy our unfinished crap to pay again later for stuff that could be available on release…the more suckers fall into this the more it gets worse.
Being able to filter out PS4 players via a "60 FPS" filter option is one of the _strangest_ things I heard for these games
For reference, Guilty Gear Xrd Sign (the 1st Xrd version) had PS3 to PS4 crossplay back in _2014_
Hopefully CyberConnect can address this with the other online mode complaints in the future
Good. I don't want to play with a person in 30fps. It puts the input time off. I'm on current gen why should i suffer with last gen?
If I don't want to be forced to play 30 FPS, then I can choose to. I am glad they give me the option to leave out PS4 players. I refuse to play at 30 FPS unless it's one of the two friends I have left that are still on PS4.
To clarify: by "Hopefully CyberConnect can address this" I mean that I hope that CC2 could optimize the game to run at 60 fps on PS4. That shouldn't need a PS5 solely to be possible
This game is also Xbox One X Enhanced and I’m guessing It’s Pro Enhanced to and this is the first time a Storm game for those consoles got Enhanced but I’m not sure if it will be 60fps which I still think they could do while having higher Resolution.
I'm surprised people were hating on the slideshows. Generations had slideshows in its story mode.
If they kept this game how it is and added a free for all tournament kinda like they did in revolution i totally wouldnt mind buying it. Specially if they made a free for all online type of tournament with ranks it would be more competitive and fun in my opinion
13:40 Actually 🤓 Storm 4 was the first time that it was dubbed in Latin American Spanish, I don't know about other languages.
I wish they let people review it a week before release so we had more time to choose if we were gonna buy it but hey getting to know something before it comes out is better then nothing
It's kind of discouraging to those who decided to buy on Friday, imagine a reviewer telling you the game is not worth it when it's not even out yet.

@@prince_badman stop pre ordering man. Not blaming you it's just that these companies are awful and gaming has been pretty hit or miss lately
This game needed to adapt Naruto The Last
I was going to buy this instead of Storm 4 for switch as I wanted a switch Naruto game to just relive the story. But after I found out that this cuts a lot of story battles and seems to be more like a season pass kinda of game where online seems to be the main focus, I am just gonna buy storm 4
Make sure to get Storm Trilogy as well as Storm 4 only tells the second half of the Great 4th Ninja War.
Did anyone else notice bugs during special story cause I was playing last night and noticed the game getting stuck during dialogue noticed a few typos sometime the character npcs would disappear during animations and reappear
Hopefully we also get the option to select ninjutsu as well I like having two I was just wish I could choose them at least for the team leader
Thanks for being a real one globku
Honestly I just hope they give older characters additional ultimates for there boruto outfits. It's the least they can do. And hopefully something new for there combos is well welcomed to. I'm tired of characters like ino, choji,shikamaru, Sai, Kiba, hinata, shino, lee, tenten, neji and so on be practically the same character since storm 2 with very minimal changes. They need some love if ima support this game
5:46 THIS IS WHAT I WANTED! IM SO HAPPY!!!! ❤
Damn the gameplay actually looks pretty different with the new combos and mechanics. I think I was little too harsh on the original reveal trailer. Gotta make a new vid when I cop the game‼Thank god for the net code improvement. I've been waiting for something like that in a Storm game for YEARS. Hopefully they patch in sending invites to friends ( i never thought that such a simple feature would ever need to be patched 🥴). Even with that being said, I think that there's the foundation of a great game here.
Are you gonna add this to the Ranking of Naruto Games?
as always, an incredible review
This is gunna be my first naruto game, see a lot of people complaining but I’m hyped lol
Wouldn’t do it bud, money grab
If it’s your first and you enjoy fighting games + Naruto, you’re going to have a damn blast. Enjoy
@@huntersoper4531tf does something being a money grab have to do with people who just simply want to have fun? You people really need a break from y’all’s phone 🤦🏾💀
I've been waiting for this. Finally get to see what the game has to offer, ive been so on the fence about getting it.
What's wild is they still haven't added the clashing effect from storm 1
Personally im happy to see returning characters and not worry about my favorite not being in the game
I think the reason why a bunch of cutscenes are pre rendered is likely due to it also being on the switch and that device not being able to handle those cutscenes natively…
One thing that would help me decide if I buy this is: Is there any improvements in the AI's fighting? Does it use the combo system? In previous games the AI was way too easy to beat, even on highest difficuilty, and I like to play against good AI in fighting games, like in Mortal Kombat AI is challenging enough for me.
Nice trailer for next storm game, maybe I'll buy it when it releases.
I think it would have been worth it if all of Kara (all 8 Inners, all the Outers, Daemon and Eida), Mugino, Shojoji, etc were all playable
It definitely would I'm ngl
I really hope they listen and update this game down the line, I know it probably isn't possible but something like crossplay. It is a crazy stretch and probably will not happen but if they were to add something like crossplay down the line like how they are adding custom matches, that would be cool.
The storm series is the call of duty of naruto games
The thing that tires me out about these games is them talking about the size of the roster. Like yeah it's 130 characters. But on the first page you have 6 Naruto, 3 Kakashi, 2 Guy
Im a huge fan of this series from the first game but the fact the same issues people have had since storm 3 still have not been sorted and they continue to recycle content acting like its a good thing without significant updates to old characters that need and the addition of bad features and the removal of yet more good features just takes the cake for me. If they wanted to put this out to gauge interest and fund a storm 5 then they have truly failed.
They didn't fail they changed plenty people are just complaining
a great review first time on this channel
“If you want to be a completionist” Well that didn’t age well. 😅
Damn
13:48 I could've sworn Storm 4 also had some more language options, I remember TFS's let's play messing around with the neutral spanish dub.
That would be correct
HOW DID I MISS THE RELEASE DATE OMG I'M SO EXITED
I get why some people are mad, but the thing I’am most angry about is no support of crossplay. This was the biggest bummer. Just imagine having players from all of the platforms play together, it would be awesome for the game as well. Since I’am on PC, I hope it wont be dead in a year…
there is crossplay wdym

@@technolibrayes where did you hear this ?

TLDR: D tier for old players, B tier for new players.
I'm glad everyone was hype for the new game but as an anime community we cannot let anyone be it Bandai, CC2, ANYONE Charge almost full price for a game this lacking in online features. History mode is only a couple hours same thing with the special mode so what the hell are you supposed to play after that? Thanks for the great Review Globku. sorry for the little Rant
Should be an interesting review. Saw your earlier post. Combo scaling is very welcome but still this all could have been an update for Storm 4.
History mode of course is as expected😅
If any of its promise is fulfilled, I will pick this up for less than $30. All of this could have been done in an update to storm 4😂
The combat is going to be different enough to justify a new game in my opinion, and they have many more great additions like crossplay.
@@lostbankai6521 how are the small changes in combat are enough to justify the price tag of 70$ for a base game? + the season pass which is obviously won't be free. to justify that price tag the game should have at least not made the history mode a pile of trash
@@lostbankai6521it's really not tbh
@@lostbankai6521There's no crossplay
@@quebithegod2908 there is crossplay lol. Another proof that haters of this game don't even know what they are talking about
Naruto FighterZ would be so good man wish we could get it
The veredict: Buy Game after huge discount
help me
The hikari Uchiha story isn't Canon right
What's sad is that being extremely lazy with anime IPs is actually a perfectly good business strategy. low quality, low risk, recycled material will still get the fanboys to buy.
Sure they can invest more and try to be innovative and actually attempt to create good games but why would they? it's naruto IP, it'll sell with minimal effort.
I really hope arc system gets a shot with more anime IPs, also jjk looks promising.
They were the only ones left to hope for. DBFZ is still the best game after Naruto Storm Revolution.
Am i the only one that noticed that in special story some cutscenes feel like they should be an QTE and not a pre rendered ones?
i use to like these games till i realised they not actually fighting games, its fun, but def more fun to watch than play i would actually say these games were a better way to watch the show without all the filler
