Rumor: Ninja Gaiden II receiving Mission Mode July 25

The possibility of a Mission Mode should come as good news to NG II players who don't find dressing up Ryu like a Ken doll a worthwhile activity. But, let's be honest, if it's anything like the original Mission Mode, shouldn't it have been shipped with the game or, and we're hoping this is the case, at least be free?

you mean money

I'd pay if they were selling Ayane as a playable character. Of course, I've still yet to buy the game at this point. Soon.

I'd pay if they were selling a version of this game with a camera that didn't make it semi-unplayable.
I'll wait for the "Black" version where all this shit is free.

OH come on. Now you're exaggerating. Is the camera irritable at times? Yes. But it's not that bad.

is true.. you can see that in a new banner call ninja live
Marty @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:01AM
And why wasn't this included in the original game?
juju187 @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:08AM
to "MAXIMIZE" profits

Honestly? It's probably because this was pushed the fuck out the door 6 months before it should have been, due to A) spring competition from MGS4 and B) because of there were probably rumblings withing Tecmo of a Team Ninja mutiny, which would have delayed the game until probably holiday, where there would have been too much internal competition from other MS 1st party titles.
The upside of that, however, is at least NGII would have actually been finished on release.
juju187 @ Jul 3rd 2008 1:04PM
i believe that. For anyone who played the game the end felt unfinished, buggy too.
Rubix42 @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:32AM
Hmmm, I'm betting they put a price on it. Welcome to the Micro-gen, whoops, I mean HD Gen.. . .

Camera issues aside, the game is awesome IMO. Its no where near "unplayable". I set my camera speed to high and I havent once said "damn this camera is annoying" or something to that extent. It's just like NG but more intense and to the next level. Bigger, better, and moar badass...oh wait. :P You get the point.
Its probably the NG fanboy in me but the game is really fun and is a great break from all the shooters out right now. Especially with the new moves like the Obliteration Techniques, they look amazing.
Great game for action fans its sad the reviewers punished it so harshly because it wasn't merited at all. Also when comparing to DMC4 the game is just more fun, I found DMC4 very boring.
deaftly @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:09PM
Yeah, NG2 and MGS4 are def my fav games of the year so far. Gotta love jumping and slicing off heads left and right in NG2. Its ridiculous how violent that game is.
lochack @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:30PM
worst game, that i have played in a very long time. And i speak for a lot people. Only NG ll fanboys disagree with me.
xFenixKnightx @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:39PM
"And i speak for a lot people"
Awwe how cute. Here, let me fix this for you.
"And I speak for a lot of *trolls"
All better now...

@lochack
That's like what 5 people then?
lochack @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:53PM
Yea, your right great game with "broken camera". What more can you ask for?
ChooChooCharlie @ Jul 3rd 2008 1:10PM
"broken camera"
What the fuck does that even mean? I've played through the entire game and then some and I've never had the camera get stuck in a wall or focus on anything other than the action at hand.
The worst I've experienced is that sometimes there will be a pillar or the corner of a wall between Ryu and the camera, or maybe that he'll move so fast with some of his techniques (ie - Flying Swallow), that the camera has a hard time keeping up with him, but neither of these occurrences require more than a quick flick of the right analog stick to fix. Besides, you don't need to have the camera centered on an enemy when Ryu uses huge sweeping attacks in melee combat and auto-targets the nearest one in ranged combat.
How many games have you played that have the camera controls mapped to the right stick? Because that's how most of the games I play work. I'm sorry, but if you seriously can't learn to use the right analog stick to control an in game camera after more than 15 minutes of play, you either don't have full use of your right hand due to disability/dismemberment or are retarded.

@ChooChooCharlie
Well fucking said! +1
Jacksons @ Jul 3rd 2008 11:53AM
That would be a cool little freebie. Unless it isn't free, of course.
Bennyishere @ Jul 3rd 2008 12:51PM
I bought all the costumes, might as well buy this as well if it turns out to be premium... Damn you for being so awesome!
