Release upgraded version of a game

Why the fuck do developers do this shit? What was the purpose of removing New Game Plus mode from NG to NGB?

I'm genuinely asking. I can't see a single fucking reason why developers would do this shit.

NGB is meant to be a unique experience.

New game plus you can cheese out the entire game.

I think they wanted people to own both versions. They also remove one of the extra costumes, the SNES games and one the game's most overpowered move added from the Hurricane Packs.

Fuck, everyone always talks about how Black is better than Sigma, but this is pretty much prooves that Sigma is far superior to black.

Xbox kiddies lose again.

Forcing me to play those fucking Rachel missions will always make Sigma worse.

proves*

what's so bad about the rachel missions?

isn't extra content good?

If only Rachel's chapters were separate bonus mode...

It breaks the flow of the game. First Ninja Gaiden is like an adventure. You have this semi-open world which you travel around, fight enemies, buy stuff, farm essense. And then suddenly you're forced to play as completely different character with moveset you aren't familiar with. Then you suddenly go back to Ryu. It's just annoying.

Fair point, but once you learn the movesets of both characters, I'm sure it wouldn't be that jarring to switch between them. Hell, I'm often playing several different FPS's within the same time frame, and I have no issue switching between them or whatever.

It doesn't really help since Rachel isn't that fun. Itagaki even commented on why there's no playable characters beside Ryu - because team put all their effort into making him as fluid and fun to play as possible. And it shows since playing as girls in both Sigma games are really just annoying, especially in Sigma 2.

Hayashi is just dumb fuck. He needed to just update the visuals and make actual improvements not remaking whole game and calling himself a director.

>He needed to just update the visuals and make actual improvements not remaking whole game and calling himself a director.
I thought the only reason they remade the Xbox Ninja Gaiden games on PS3 was because it was the only loophole they had to get around Microsoft's exclusivity agreement.

Yeah, it's bullshit because there's basically no point to getting the plasma saber because you'll hardly get to use the damn thing.

Who cares? As long as you disallow NG+ing into higher difficulties it doesn't matter if people cheese something they already did legit.

Rachael is basically a shitty version of Ryu movement-wise, and the only weapon your have available to you is one of the worst weapons in the game.

I suppose it was probably done to keep the game difficult no matter what, as once people beat the game they could easily go through it every time with the upgraded stuff.

I mean, it's annoying, but I get it.

What's the best weapon?

Never played the game, but from what I understand, there are limited upgrade points, so you can upgrade everything.

You can.

Fuck that noise. NGB was an upgrade all around.

how long till steam sale?

When's the sale start?

You're an idiot.

The Sigma games have entire LEVELS worth of content cut from the main game because the PS3 GPU was so weak it couldn't handle things the original Xbox could and because the ports were handled by an idiot who is now responsible for your most hyped exclusive(Nioh).

Steam sale when?

is this the steam sale thread? :^)

yes, all steam sale discussion here

Should I get Disgaea or Phantom Brave?

Is it me or are NG+ fags the cancer killing video games now a days?

Games gotta end some time asshole, move the fuck on.

I'd say disgaea for the style and cuteness alone but I honestly am not a good person to ask about gameplay

Are you retarded or something? NG+ is very common feature for such action games. Removing it from NGB is a really weird move.

what's the point of having a bunch of upgradable weapons that you can even use because by the time the game is over you've only just finished upgrading them and you can't go into new game plus with them?

apparently this is now the new steam sale thread lol

>Symphonia
the port is alright but it's 30fps

I would get PoE

Probably Shadow Tactics unless you haven't played Desperados/Robin Hood/Commandos yet

Skyborn is garbage

>free DLC that is top quality and basically another platformer for free
>base game is 15 bucks
these dirty dirty jews

NGB remaster when

Sounds like a good reason to play it again later with a different spec if you ask me. Id rather not play the game with all my advantages unlocked and the game half as hard.

This

If the Rachel missions could were a separate mode like how much of the bonus content in Resident Evil games is, Sigma would be a much more enjoyable game.

Forced Rachel is awful and flow breaking.

No its not, look at the one for the actually topic, not this fuckers attempt to revive this crap

I'm OP and I'm pretty surprised someone did that.

I'm not unhappy about it though. Games like this need more attention, even if it's ill-gotten attention.

Well stick to the original topic then dude, if people are interested theyll come

I am sticking to the topic. I'm not the one who linked this thread.

Sadly, people don't care about this game any more. It's not new or popular.

that was the ps3 game - deal with it

Fuck off you casual piece of shit.

>denies the facts that are right in front of him

chart doesn't like bitch

Ninja Gaiden 2: Black when? Fuck Sigma 2.

intercept had to go because its fucking broken.
youtube.com/watch?v=5pdN3I1lMn0

everything else from the hurricane pack expansions made it over.
also the nes ninja gaidens were replaced with the arcade ninja gaiden.
the removal of the "ninja of the future outfit" is strange, but black did add new outfits.

removal of new game+ might have been because they want players to move up from every difficulty to see the new content instead of living in normal forever. Baby mode was also added and it teases you with crappy free equips during the campaign.
Itagaki might have thought that the addition of mission mode would be enough for new game+ players i guess.

NEVER EVER

Has anyone tried to move the removed costumes to NGB and add in NG+? The NG+ could still be in the game's data but not visible due to a disabled hex string or something.

I added Ayane from Razor's Edge to NGB.

NGB is the most sadistic game I ever played
I gave up at the radio tower you need to blow up because all those niggers raping you with rocket launchers while you need to do first person shots with those weird controls was too much for me

you might be able to compare the saves between ng1 and black in hex and enable new game+ that way.
theres also a chance that hex editing a black save to change your location to the first possible save location might work, but i'm unsure what future flags save. like you could walk into a later room and a boss is already dead or something.

but also keep in mind not a single person who has ng1 and the hurricane packs have uploaded a save. anyone who pirates the hurricane packs cant even use them.

>because the ports were handled by an idiot who is now responsible for your most hyped exclusive(Nioh).
To be fair, the architecture of the PS3 and PS4 cannot be any more different. If they really wanted to, they could remake Sigma 1 and 2 for the PS4 and do them justice. Maybe even make the Rachel missions in Sigma 1 optional

fuck off retard

...

The fact that some weapons were buffed in Sigma makes me upset about black, because it means that some weapons in black were underpowered, and thus, the game isn't completely balanced.

>there are people who actually chose to play on Ninja Dog difficulty

casuals, am i right?

Sorry, I'm not a nerd without life to train one level for whole week. I play to have fun.

>"i-if you play on a harder difficulty then you have no life! Dying 3 times on the first stage and giving up is fine! I play for fun! of course no one good at the game could possibly have a life! I don't suck, I just have other things I need to do"

git gud noob

>Why the fuck do developers do this shit?

The same reason developers do every other seemingly retarded decision. Management is furious that game development costs money, so they threaten to fire anyone who doesn't make arbitrary deadlines.

NG is a game you play for the gameplay and only the gameplay, playing on easy modos detracts from the intended experience and makes the game worse.

If you want the game to beat itself for you go play something easy like dark souls instead.

Shit, is it impossible now to get the hurricane pack for OG Ninja Gaiden?

>hurr durr I'm so hardcore I never leave my basement and I keep training the same level for days and everybody must do the same because I said so! you literally can't have fun on easy mode because only I know the right way to enjoy this game!

You said it yourself, easy mode simply isn't fun.

you can pirate but i think it needs internet access to start a new hurricane pack run with the new content. (rip)
that why people keep looking for a save that already has a run started but no progress.

im unsure if pirating the hurricane packs effect the normal base game at all though. like it it adds the new camera or what.

For you.
