If they want us to pay for something, they could atleast make a GREAT outfit for it.
Alot of people are saying they want that blue outfit back from NES, same one that was in NGB and NGSigma...etc.

I want that futuristic outfit from NG with the saber sword, or that DOA throwback, I NEVER got to finish Mission Mode in NGB when I had (too difficault :/).

When it comes to outfits, I will pay if it looks great, and like I mentioned before, I did a big misstake buying Shadow Walker and Biometal, they look bad in-game (but the sketch makes them look good).

But I guess you these type of things makes you learnf rom your misstakes, I know I did.

As many times many people have said this, yes, it should have been in the game in the first place, it's not like they added much in the game to begin with.

NGB had tons of extra content, on a regular disc for Xbox, you would wonder with more space for 360 discs they would add more and not take away more.

Edge MAgazine UK has given the game 8/10!!!! IM actually surprised I was expecting a 6/10 or a 7/10 but oh well. They also gave Alone in the Dark 5 a 7/10, It was a praise for its brilliant ideas.

It's all been said a thousand times before, but supporting your product and your fanbase is certainly not for nothing. Good support, which includes free content, builds your popularity among your base, and secures brand trust and loyalty. These are simple concepts really, and they don't work against free market capitalism one bit, they work for it.

There are still many developers who believe in and offer free support, and it's mostly publishers (and Microsoft) that have pushed for this direction to take a more serious hold on the market. It's a short term, high yield strategy, but for many fans, it's potentially damaging the brand. And before we start defending MS's part in this, many people in the know have said that they heavily discourage the development of free content, despite the fact that it's ultimately the publishers decision.

So shame on MS, shame on Activision and EA, and shame on the market that actually pays for content that should have shipped with the game. And that last point isn't really debatable. When games start coming with less and less content, at a higher base price, with premium DLC advertised prior to release.. well.. that's not inflation, that's consumer grade rape. And unfortunately, far too many consumers are quite happy to pay.

all you say is true, but different companies have different ethics, not all offer free support (if it is anyway).

i remember last gen devs giving stuff was more common. but things have changed, the resources or budget needed to make a quality game have increased dramatically, thats why devs have become stingy as well

----------------------------------

seriously you sound like an angry gamer by the tone of your writting, if you don't like it or price doesn't justify the product, don't buy and quit complaining constantly like they gonna change anything. not trying to embarrance or anything, just advice

That's a lame excuse, especially considering the increase in the base price of gaming. Things are dramatically more expensive all around this generation, and they're using DLC to basically produce free revenue. How many map packs do you think IW has sold? Millions.. which equates to tens of millions of dollars in additional revenue for a game that more than broke even the day it came out. Devs aren't becoming "stingy," publishers are becoming more and more greedy.

I guess it's payback for years of piracy.. you know.. like.. watching movies for free? Pretty soon we'll have Blu-Ray releases sans special features, which we'll have to purchase as addons, neat!

You mean that second form of the Archfiend?

If so, there is a very simple way to kill him without taking any damage.

Stay on your LEFT side, keep attacking his ahdn with 2-3 powerful attacks (Blade of the Archfiend, or whatever its called is perfect...use, X, hold Y,Y).

You can easily dodge his laser without taking any damage and still dodge back to his hand and attack.

Keep doung that and you are pretty much done.

On Mentor, I had no Talisman, no health herbs, no ninpo...nothing!
Not only that, but my health was in the middle when I faced him, so there was no way for me to have a long fight if I started to loose health.

Ah, Dagrai Dai...that bastard is a bitch...especially with his lighting attack that hits the ground.

Maybe you are rushing the attacks and not waiting for him to do the attacks first.

May I ask what difficaulty you are playing on?

Normal...hmm...you need more skills :P hehe, j/k.

But like I said, don't rush your attacks, let him make the move first.
Equip the Lunar or Scythe and keep jumping at him and attack with combos like XXY...or...IF you can get close enough...Lunar (lvl3) XXY...amazing damage to enemies.

But like I mentioned before, let him attack first and you just avoid, and take a good spot for a attack, and once you do, make sure each attack leads to a big damage.

Good luck.

I have played on my 360 lately and I decided to play some NG2 more. I played the first 3 levels when I got the game and I continued there now. I am currently on level 8... and I have to say I like the levels 7&8 really much. Test of Valor things where insanely fun on those too.

Heh I even tried the ninja cinema feature on level 8 test of valor but I am not too happy how it went... I am ashamed to say that I needed to use one healing stuff and made couple stupid moves that almost killed me. Anyway the action at that test is just too awesome. Those robot dudes are quite fun enemies.

I am still not sure if this is better than NGB. I mean it has more enemies, better graphics, better levels but the framerate is quite poor :/ If it would have stable framerate I would say yes it's a better game.

Btw the bosses so far has been really easy. I mean couple slashes and those are dead... I think bosses in NGB take more damage and where harder to hit. Then again I am playing on warrior difficulty so maybe it gets better next time.

The only boss in the game that is worthy of the name boss is one which you will meet in the last level. The others have been VERY disappointing - they certainly are no Alma.

I am not that sad that there isn't Alma like boss because it was hard at the wrong reasons. Most of the bosses were fun to play in NGB.

Great to know that there is at least challenging boss at the end of the game.

It is NOT challenging. You can pretty much kill them by two extremely simple stradegies.

The bosses in NG2 are just cheap with their grabs and such, even in combo.
But whatever I am done with it, glad atleast you enjoy it Iso.

The combat is insane in this game, but the visibility is downright atrocious sometimes.

You sometimes get confused about where you need to go next, the level design is pretty damn awful in a lot of the early places I've been. The camera is just bad.

Biggest surprise for me in Ninja Gaiden 2 is how well done some of the cutscenes are. They were much better than what I was expecting. The combat is definitely this game's saving grace. Only wish the other issues weren't there.

I think a lot of these would've been solved if they made a proper new engine for the game.

Rushed game!

Solution: Clear your cache on HDD, do not update when it asks you (but you have to play it offline).

Rushed game and patch.

I read it's the patch that broke some of the cutscenes... I think I read that next crash would come almost end of the game. Some said that even cutscene in level 9 would also crash but that didn't happen to me.

I was just trying to find how to delete the patch but no need anymore. Thanks.
