Wow, I guess Ludwig didn't even bother with a review.

It's not even about it being easier, play the higher up difficulties and you're met with even more repetitive fights, lower framerate and cheap deaths. It's not the sort of difficulty that was satisfying in the past, it's the sort where you question "is this worth my time?"

Ryu is also less responsive than he was before which can make combat a chore. The only real "meat" this game has is the Ninja Trials, but even that's short lived. And to top it off, they are bringing back the old weapons as if to save face on their 1 weapon decision, and all the old bosses as DLC just to fluff up the main game.

Team Ninja need to rethink this franchise with the poor reception it's gotten.

@In A World

NG3 did that, didn't turn out so good!

Stop! Just stop it!

"I'll buy it at a low price, strainjah!"

They apparently are using old boss models in this game to fluff up the few original content they came up with.

Say what you will about NG2, that was 100% original content.

And did anyone see that derpy Dinosaur battle? That has to be the saddest thing in NG history.

They were pretty harsh, but I haven't been feeling it at all myself. They took out too many things fans loved, they didn't pace it properly enough for their wider audience they built it for. And for all the hype about it having an actual story now, the ending was a let down.

@Walter White

Actually, I think releasing a demo would cause more trouble for Team Ninja because then everyone would be comparing the multiple weapons of NG2/NGS2 demos with the one weapon in NG3 and wonder why it's even relevant.

Hey new costume for Kenshi, seems like that Skarlet alt will be available afterall. Also looks like every ninja will get their UMK3 palette swap color.

@DVincent

There is co-op.

But I do agree. Ninja gaiden has always been an aggressive game to me. NG2 perfected this, NGS2 neutered it, NG3 seems to do away with it altogether. No suicide ninjas in this one, heavy QTE sequences.
