these are probably the worst /vr/ sequels i've come across, they completely change almost everything that made the first game rewarding, challenging, and fun

>> No.7786137

Ninja Gaiden 2 made it less likely to cling to a wall when you didn't intend. Had some cool stage gimmicks and an awesome new power up.

If you die to a stage gimmick its because you were not reacting to it properly.

All three games are masterpieces.

>controls & physics
1&2 control exactly the same. It's 3 that changes this.
>deaths are cheap
what series do you think you're playing?
>music sucks
This is how I know you're baiting for (you)'s.
>NG 3 does what NG 2 does
Absolutely wrong. If you had made this thread about the change between the first two games, and the third, then your points would make some more sense. Except the music, because even 3 has some bangers.

>> No.7786381

>>7786163
motherfucker i can FEEL the difference in control between 1 and 2, it's night and day. and the deaths are cheap in 2 and 3 because they just throw shit at you, at least in 1 it's manageable. and yeah, the music does suck, it's nowhere near as good as in 1.

>> No.7786430

>>7786381
Motherfucker, I've been playing these games longer than you have been alive. Whatever subtle differences you're sensing between 1 and 2 aren't significant enough to explain why you're getting your ass handed to you in 2.

>> No.7786776

The only thing they fucked up is that the sword hitbox is like one pixel tall in 2.

3 had a weird bug, I guess you'd call it that, where if you are facing left and want to spin jump right you have to be very precise in how you change direction or Ryu just does a normal jump still facing left while moving right that doesn't go nearly as far. Leads to so many unintended deaths.

It is much, much harder, that's for sure.
Still child's play compared to NGIII.

The only major failing of NG2 is adding the mirror image. It's a worthy successor

How exactly is mirror image a failure? Because it trivializes every boss?

The original doesnt have that either. From stage 2-2 onwards, 90% of your deaths are knockbacks into death pits in that game.
I say this applies to the third game the most out of the 3.

4-1 is my favorite part of the game, and this tune has a lot to do with it.

i like NG1 the most by a lot too desu
reckon its mostly nostalgia as i played that one and not the other two
the others are great action platformers, im just not a fan of stage hazards
imo its 1>3>2

Thats a good one too.

I need to play this game again, I only played it once and beat it in one sitting after grinding Ninja Gaiden 1 for weeks.

NG is le hardcore bullshit, that goes double for the OG Xbox DMC knockoff

Mainly because it makes the game look messy and feel less elegant. It's similar how Sonic 2 is a lot better when you disable Tails in options. Mechanically it's somewhat interesting, but it does more harm to the game than good
