Seriously. It's like a "What if Heavenly Sword was awesome?" alternate reality. Yes, QTE's up the whazoo, who cares, they are fun, and the normal combat is very God of War esque, but the game is like an Anime Japa Ninja Scroll craze kind of shit, with monsters and shit, and it's freaking epic, with some weird Matrix like Music, and crazy ass stunts, and buildings falling down and shit.
The whole 1st mission was awesome. It's like, the game is super corny, super cheesy, and it's not even a great action game, but still, it manages to be some off the charts shit.
Played the 1st mission. EB will probably piss on this game.
-
I hear it's no Onechanbara.
-
did they ever mention US release date?
-
Played the first mission for a few minutes and didn't like it. But I'm planning to give more attention to it soon.
I also hated Otogi at first, but ended loving it.
-
did they ever mention US release date?
I think it's March 15th.
-
the demo was pretty awful, later videos of it looked entertaining. If it really is coming on the 15th, I'll probably pass.
Gamestop lists it as April 7th with nothing else coming out around that time. I'll probably pick it up now.
-
Is there a US demo yet?
-
Told you so~
-
Awesome game,get it,Mission.008 next
-
Gamestop lists it as April 7th with nothing else coming out around that time.
Same day as Riddick. Buy Riddick.

I had no idea Riddick was in April, I thought it was one empty month. I'm getting Riddick for sure.
-
yes Riddick. Get the Riddick.
This thread is now about Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.
-
I'll get Riddick on the PC.
Anyway. Mission Three, fucking awesome. I was riding a bike through the skies, on top of buses and shit, amazing. And the bosses, goddamn, they are huge.
And the engine of this game is pretty impressive, considering the massive scale.
-
Dcharlie is probably cutting his wrist after how owned he is
Even reirom said it was awesome. Ninja Blade is te REAL DEAL
-
Finished it yesterday,total awesomeness.
Seriously,if anybody is looking full-action packed,super crazy stunts game with the most badass ninja ever(he can throw buildings,stop big passenger planes,etc) look no further.
You even get an achievement for watching ending credits.
demi :bow2
-
Yeah, the guy is more like a superman version of a ninja. It's pretty awesome.
-
My jaw was on the floor when I saw some of this footage on XPlay. Good to hear the game is actually fun to play, because it looked infuckingcredible.
-
Stopped a Plane from killing dozens of people. It's the SPiderman 2 train sequence, but with a goddamn plain.
Game rocks.
-
beat 1st mission, best use of QTEs and one cheesy story.
will play more tonight.
-
Does it look better than Ninja Gaiden 2?
-
from my first mission impression? yes but some textures need serious work.
-
better than ninja gaiden 2
sliding down a skyscraper
i mean need i say more?
-
also Ken moves like a real ninja, very speedy unlike Hayabusa.
-
:bow dash :bow2
-
okay, I'll put it in my gamefly queue
-
its not like ninja gaiden where you have to memorize combo lists
theyre short in # and a complete rip off of ninja gaiden's
you can even get by a la doing random x and y combos w/ a stick movement thrown in
-

-
Looks and plays better than Star Ocean 4
Jansen walks away shamed...
-

Jansen admits liking Star Ocean 4 :lol
-
typical weaboo fare really
-
I'm actually looking forward to playing this, but it's a definite will be $20-30 in 2 months game so I'll wait a bit.
-
Jansen admits liking Star Ocean 4 :lol
yeah i liked it. still wouldn't rate it very high
i wanna play ninja blade but i doubt i'd make it very far seeing as how it's a qte fest
action games + qtes = :yuck
-
I think there is so much QTE in this game that it goes so deep into shittiness that it comes full circle into complete awesomeness.
but I'm sure whatever it is, it's better than the last Tenchu shitfest.
-
the qtes are fucking awesome
-
holy fucking balls i'm stopping a fucking airplane by brute force.
-

:lol
i saw that and was like WTF?
-
I played the demo. 20 or so QTE's over a 20 minute demo, and an INANE boss battle. No sex for this ninja.
-

Where does the pope of emulation post these days anyway? MIDAS NETAL 4 LIFE
-
OA usually, probably some brazlilian dirthouse otherwise. Right now he is enjoying his PC with 4 GIGAS DDR3 RAM
CRYSIS AM THE LIMIT
(when he isnt playing Max Payne 2 at 800x600 on his integrated graphics card)
-
Judging by the totally fucking awesome demo, it looks like I'll be picking this up immediately when I go home for the summer.

Really? The demo stoked you out? When I compared "played games" with you, I thought we had more similar tastes. Ninja Blade is one of the rare games I'd not even pick up for Achievements even if I found it for free.
-
THEN STFU
NINJA BLADE!!!!!!!!!!

I think it'll be a semi-fun diversion at least, especially when the price drops. The first time I played I got pretty frustrated with the controls, QTEs etc., but I eventually got used to it. When I went back I'm pretty sure I was completely drunk off my ass and blasting Telefon Tel Aviv while playing the demo, so that may have changed things.
-
I just borrowed this from a friend, this better be ninjatastic
-
the demo is fun. i wish it was more QTE than real combat though
-
the combat with the normal monsters get old and boring fast but thankfully they aren't many and almost all stages are about fighting 3 or so bosses + QTEs heaven.
so if you like fighting bosses, QTEs and over the top cutscenes then this game is for you.
-
that sounds good, the normal combat is boring and slow.
-
yeah, normal combat isn't deep like DMC or NG, it's more of hack and slash tbh.
the normal sword can get pretty cheap btw, just hold guard button + X and watch any human sized monsters/bosses get their guard fucked though i don't remember on what level it was unlocked.
-

I'ma send you a big ass Dragon's Lair coin-op cabinet, so you can get your QTEs whenever you want. WHO NEEDS GAMEPLAY?
-
This is MS-published, right? I might snag it on the cheap. Looks pretty, at least.
-
This is MS-published, right?
yup.
-
Argh, I kinda like the demo. I can see why it's love it or hate it. Is the actual combat in the game more fluid?
-
not really, but there are lots and lots of boss fights so shit always get fun or sometimes frustrating.
also very easy achievements.

I AM THE BEST NINJA EVER
I AM BEST-NINJA
oh my god I AM TOTALLY BATTLING DEMONS ABOUT 100 FEET AWAY FROM WHERE I WORK IN REAL LIFE
THIS GAME REMINDS ME OF MY DREAMS
I JUST BROKE A WALL AND DESTROYED BOXES, BECAUSE I LIKE ALL NINJAS HATE BOXES

Modern QTE sequences are so much more intuitive than Dragon's Lair, though. Don't pretend as if they are exactly the same. Reacting to a button prompt is very different from guessing which button to press every couple of seconds.

I was looking at your games on your gamertag earlier. Do you really own all those games are you sell them off/borrow some of them? It shows that you have every game that I have except for about 4 and a shitload more, but you've hardly played most of them. ???

edit: this shit works on any monster, level 4 sword is unstoppable beast.

Who cares what he has, he doesnt play them beyond 15 minutes.

This is because boxes are next-in-line to receive The Real Ultimate Power should the ninja line ever fail. What they lack in skill and mobility, they make up for in numbers. What else could explain their presence in so many games?

Are exploding barrels next in line to receive The Real Ultimate Power if the boxes should fail?
-
last boss was terrible and i saw weird graphical shit before the credit, maybe my xbox is dying lol.
-
achievement unlocked: a perfect 10.
woot.
-
Gah it is taking me forever to beat the spider boss on the first level, I must be doing something wrong
-
use the big blade to crash it's armor then hack away.
when you get down there just do the same and use wind ninjustu to kill the annoying bats.
you can also use twin blades Y attacks at its face but it will take a very long time so use this when there is not much left of its HP.

I'm pretty terrible. I don't get into games as much as I did in previous generations, but I'll be damned if that doesn't stop me from trying. I actually do better with portables. If one of my next gen systems is on (especially the game-barren ps3), chances are I am using it for media.

Barrels are the tools of the ninja, waiting to explode the boxes, should their sessile nature ever prove to be a ruse.

Maybe you should just play the smaller, easy to get into XBLA and PSN games for a while. I got tired of my 360 games a few times and ended up playing nothing but XBLA games for a week or two. This was when I got hooked on Omega Five and Mr. Driller.
