Well I got ALL of my own questions answered through the demo anyways.
For example changing weapons during combat was one of them.

I am absolutely in LOVE with Falcon's Talons. That is the next best weapon after Dragon Sword for me, and then I have to see how Kusarigama is like witht he full game.

But this game is absolutely the most fastest, goriest and more excited and entertaining action/adventure game I played, and it is definitely 10x better than the old NG considering that one was so slow compared to this.

I have played it through many many times now that I am not gonna stop.

Oh by the way, when you guys reach by the river and you got blood on your weapon, stand in the water and then let Ryu whipe the blood off and watch the details!

Absolutely not. They either are bored with NG or they had such a got damn high standard for a sequal they got dissapointed.

I can promise you this, this is what NG fans of a sequal have been waiting for.

The gameplay is as sharp and polished as ever, and it really feels that each kill you do is as satistfying as the next one is gonna be thank that to the OT.

Ehm, bring it on!

I am gonna play my favorite tracks from NG2, NG and NG Sigma (iPod playlist) just to see how it all feels and I can say it is gonna be bad ass!

By the way, you can turn on and off the Karma score, but it will show combos, karma, hit and which technique you use like UT or OT, and each one has extra karma added to it, very cool really.

I forgot to mention this...the esscences in this one will come to you no matter where you are, meaning how far you are from them.
But you can not BLOCK the esscences for using them as UT like the previous title for abusing the Karma system.
Plus that you don't have to chase each esscence down.
They made it balanced and easy and fair.

Just played it, and man that was sweet! The combat is so fast and SO satisfying; I actually can't picture having ever played NG without this level of blood and gore. I absolutely love the triple flying swallow, and the talons kick all kinds of ass.

I will admit though that the camera was probably a bit worse than in NG, but it was more of a minor annoyance than something actually game-ruining. I never took damage because of it because it's so easy to block/counter/dash out of the way.

Why the hell isn't this out yet!

Yeah the camera has gone a bit "off" for me, but because I am used to pressing the RT to let the camera back on Ryus back it is not a problem and it doesn't ruin the gameplay.

If the enemy attacks you and you counter attack it, the enemy can counter your attack by dodging.

That 3x Flying Swallow is just crazy and so damn fast.

Not only that, but every attack you can imagine can create a huge fluid combo that looks crazy good.

For example with the dragon Sword, some of the attacks that you couldnt make a long chain of combos because the attacks was limited, now it isn't.

This game has to be played to understand what I mean by that.

I am surprised that all the attacks are so fluid and that some of the attacks and combos just seems to perfect in the end for a OT, crazy stuff Itagaki, you are crazy ;)

I just can't wait for the Ninja Cinema to watch other pros make their videos with long combos and such, gonna be great.

It wasn't in the original NG until they had the Master Ninja Tournament and released a bit of an update(the one with those brutal friggin' cat-women). But yeah, if you bit block just before you were hit, it would make a little flash at which point you could hit an attack button. Using it wouldn't end your combo, and it made fighting some bosses actually easier.

I'm not sure if it was in Black or Sigma though as I never played them.
The intercept technique isn't in. They took it out of Black and Sigma, and also NG2. It's basically a counter that lets you quickly start a new combo in the middle of the last interrupted one. I guess it made the game too easy when people started to timing it right 99% of the time.

Intercept! I can NEVER remember the name of it! lol That's too bad that they took it out as it was just one more layer to the combat that would make the really good players look even better.

Bahh, I can't hope of playing the demo since the moral monkeys here in germany don't like violence. But nice to read some impressions here. Can't wait till my copy arrives. Just hope my store gets them early, then I can play it as soon as the americans do. ;)
