Ninja Gaiden 2 and how dumb you are for not owning it - Games

Hey sport! Like blood and gore? Like beat 'em ups? Like getting your ass kicked by that boss for the zillionth time? THEN READ THIS STUFF I WROTE. So once upon a time there was a developer team called Team Ninja. These guys made some old NES games called "Ninja Gaiden" and etc. Later, they started a new generation of Ninja Gaiden games on the old Xbox. And that game was the best game ever. It had an excellent combat system, lots of gore, awesome weapons, more gore, incredibly hard bosses and a shitload of gore. Quite possibly my favorite game ever. However, I'm not talking about the NES Ninja Gaiden nor the newer Ninja Gaiden, I'm talking about Ninja Gaiden 2, mainly because Ninja Gaiden is a pretty old game now and the combat system between the two is practically the same, Ninja Gaiden 2 just has more features. [IMG]http://www.primotechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/uh137_ninjagaiden2.jpg[/IMg] Ninja Gaiden 2 was released on the Xbox 360 in Q1 of 2008. Only got a PC? FUCK YOU! This game was like Ninja Gaiden 1, except with even more gore and even more awesomeness. I'll just start listing the awesome things in Ninja Gaiden 2. - You can use kicks to decapitate enemies. - There are Wolverine claws. - There are brutal finishing moves for enemies with missing limbs, [b]even for ones that are missing a head.[/b] - You have a boomerang. Except it has blades and can cut enemies in two. - Enemies that have missing limbs may try to blow themselves up with you. - Using a blunt weapon on enemies makes their limbs shatter. I never get tired of looking bits of brains on walls. - There is a gatling spear gun. Only works underwater though. - There are a lot of weapons, including dual katanas and an enormous scythe. - There are werewolves that throw parts of their fallen comrades at you. Actually more annoying than awesome. - There are enemies that move like giant zombies and have a cannon for their arm. The other arm is a chainsaw. These enemies don't die from decapitation, but they lose sight after they lose their heads. - Ultimate Techniques. These things tear your enemies apart in seconds. - More stuff that I can't remember at the moment The plot: MONSTERS THERE, KILL THEY ASS Screenshots (most of these are some old preview pics): [B]HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THAT BLOOD EVERYWHERE THAT GUY IS SO DEAD[/B] [IMG]http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/photos/uncategorized/2008/01/15/ninjagaiden2.jpg[/IMG] [B]OH GOOD LORD IT'S THE FIRST BOSS OF THE GAME IN A TOTALLY WRONG LOCATION[/B] [IMG]http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee284/gamasutra/ninja-gaiden-2-1up-preview.jpg[/IMG] [B]BLIMEY THAT GUY GOT WOLVERINE CLAW'D[/B] [IMG]http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/819/819287/ninja-gaiden-2-20070911100222820_640w.jpg[/IMG] [B]HOLY CRAP HE'S USING THOSE AWESOME CLUB THINGIES[/B] [img]http://www.thatvideogameblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/ninjagaiden2demo.jpg[/IMG] [B]DUAL KATANAS FUCK YEAH MY FAVORITE WEAPON(s)[/B] [img]http://www.miuki.net/uploads/2008/04/20080418-ninja-gaiden-ii-1.jpg[/img] I prefer to show the game's combat system, rather than explain it. So look below. Videos: Teaser: [MEDIA]http://youtube.com/watch?v=Sono7Te5PxU&fmt=18[/MEDIA] Gameplay (poor quality): [MEDIA]http://youtube.com/watch?v=LtC6V2LBIKw[/MEDIA] Some kinda clueless guy playing, HD though: [MEDIA]http://youtube.com/watch?v=4w2GqCGMhFg&fmt=22[/MEDIA] Did I mention that the game is really fucking hard? Well it is. I'm playing it on Mentor and FUCK it is tough. Warrior and Acolyte are pretty easy though, play with those first. Oh, and you can discuss Ninja Gaiden 1 here too.

I refuse to play another Ninja Gaiden after the one for the NES slaughtered my 6 year old mind.

[QUOTE=Watevaman;16715519]I refuse to play another Ninja Gaiden after the one for the NES slaughtered my 6 year old mind.[/QUOTE] Pussy.

Its a ok game and worth buying if you can find it for a good price.

Am I dumb if I don't own it, but rented and beat it?

[QUOTE=Tazers Hurt;16715572]Am I dumb if I don't own it, but rented and beat it?[/QUOTE] Yes. A game such as Ninja Gaiden 2 must be owned.

Reminds me of Devil May Cry games. I tried the demo of this game, it's quite awesome.

That's a pretty gorey game. Seems awesome.

Isn't this game like INSANELY hard? My brother got it for the 360 and he says it is.

[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;16715685]Isn't this game like INSANELY hard? My brother got it for the 360 and he says it is.[/QUOTE] 2 tips. 1. Always block if you're standing still. 2. Don't stand still. That should get you through most of the hard parts in the game.

It can't be harder than God Hand on the hardest difficulty.... right?

[QUOTE=Minorkos;16715741]2 tips. 1. Always block if you're standing still. 2. Don't stand still. That should get you through most of the hard parts in the game.[/QUOTE] He said that the bosses were really hard

[QUOTE=Nintendo-Guy;16715756]He said that the bosses were really hard[/QUOTE] Just keep your distance and never attack when the boss is attacking. When you know all of its attacks, start rubbing its health away.

Not harder than I wanna be the guy on Impossible.

Flying Swallow is an amazing attack (Y when jumping towards an enemy), use it as often as you can. It doesn't work on some enemies though.

Isn't Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma gonna pussy out on all the blood and gore?

Lots of blood.

You forgot about the extreme huge boobs. [b]BOOBS[/b]

[QUOTE=Frank_West;16715789]Isn't Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma gonna pussy out on all the blood and gore?[/QUOTE] Yeah, it has all this purple blood and shit. Don't have a PS3 anyway, so I don't care. [editline]05:38PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Viper202;16715830]You forgot about the extreme huge boobs. [b]BOOBS[/b][/QUOTE] I'm too classy to mention such things as boobs.

Sir I'm not dumb because I don't own a 360 to play it.

[QUOTE=Ray551;16715744]It can't be harder than God Hand on the hardest difficulty.... right?[/QUOTE] I remember watching a video of that on a PS2 demo disc. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC2MvIC4j6E[/media] :wtc::wtc::wtc:

I have Ninja Gaiden Black on my Xbox 360. I never beat the second boss.

Rpg shit, no thanks [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp_ratings.php?postid=16666579&rating=12[/img]

I loved Ninja gayden 2 on NES

[QUOTE=-Ana;16716124]Rpg shit, no thanks [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp_ratings.php?postid=16666579&rating=12[/img][/QUOTE] There is nothing RPG in this game, other than buying upgrades for your weaponry (3 upgrades for each weapon) . That and occasionally using a health increasing object.

[QUOTE=Viper202;16715830]You forgot about the extreme huge boobs. [b]BOOBS[/b][/QUOTE] Oh, yeah. They're quite huge, yes. Anyways, wached some gameplay videos, and it seems like an okay game. Not too different than other beat 'em up games, though.

[QUOTE=the_shape;16716264]Oh, yeah. They're quite huge, yes. Anyways, wached some gameplay videos, and it seems like an okay game. Not too different than other beat 'em up games, though.[/QUOTE] It's different. The combat system is very rewarding in comparison to some other beat 'em ups. Feels extremely fluid too.

Ninja Gaiden Black > Ninja Gaiden 2 End of Discussion.

Ninja Gaiden makes me rage nearly as hard as I do when I play Alen Hominid.

Best. Thread. Ever.
