How come theres never been a Naruto game that had the spirit of Part 1, with fights that actually took thinking using the ninja items and skills characters had? You could never do pic related.
If you could go back and shape the Naruto like this, which devs would you hire?
you want a "strategy" fighting game with traps and weapons and counters got an example?
Lincoln Collins
fireaxis. i could do with an Xcom naruto. would work too, engine already supports, buffs, AOE, melee and range attacks, cover, and has reactions etc. built in so you could even set up a sort of replacement jutsu bullshit.. etc.
Kevin Lopez
What the fuck I was just watching this fight yesterday
Luis Richardson
Recommend me the closest thing in existance to an XCOM Naruto game pls
Aiden Murphy
Stop after the Pain fight. Do yourself a favor before the series becomes DBZ levels of powerlevel shittery with fucking eye magic
Juan Cox
A naruto game that doesnt exist. Pity
Jordan White
WHY DID IT HAVE TO CHANGE
HOW DID WE GO FROM LEE VS GAARA TO MAGIC EYE SHIT
Alexander Martin
>implying I hate that
Nah nigga full hype train.
Colton Ward
Fuck off retarded samefag.
Austin Peterson
Wew lad, I am on my first watch of Shippuden and am literally in the midst of this fight right now. Sad it's going to become DBZ shark-jumping.
MOST people agree the Chunin Exams is the show's highest point
Adrian Ramirez
While we're on the subject, what are some god-tier Naruto games that aren't the Storm games?
Xavier Ortiz
>why can't the cast spend forever getting tricked by holes in the ground an dudes who spring out from below by turning into a log >so deep bruh
People in here pretending everyone would stay fucking dumb forever. The meta changes.
Yeah, they are good, but man, they are just over hype too. Lee and Might Guy make every fight good no matter what. Even against filler. I'm not going to sit here an say lee beating sauske wasn't cool, and might guy bitch slapping the uchiha family wasn't good.
Eli Phillips
Who cares? They all play like fucking DBZ Budokai. A real naruto game would be strategy based
Grayson Sanchez
The GBA sidescroller is pretty good, but just as a regular video game and not Naruto.
It's part 1 only and you unlock Lee by beating it, too.
Ian Hall
Early Naruto was so good, I swear the Land of Waves arc was actually good shonen shit.
Asher Evans
>HURR WHY SHOULD A SERIES THAT GOT FAMOUS FOR TACTICS AND NINJA CUNNING NOT CHANGE INTO LITERALLY JUST DRAGON BALL Z DURRRRR
Jonathan Flores
You don't have any idea how much effort a game like that would take to be made. Wasted effort, because people would eventually pirate it because it's too "boring" for the average player.
Mason Johnson
When was this series famous for tactics and ninja cunning?
Henry Jackson
Same reason that even with VR controllers we wont see a dynamic martial arts game for a long time. Too many variables.
Owen Richardson
Can we all agree this series would be better if this faggot was killed off early or relegated to a subrole like the rest of the 9? I lose interest in everything related to him. Also, Itachi did nothing wrong.
Hunter Martinez
Well the answer is is that it becomes harder to plan actual strategic battles when you have an 1000+ chapter series.
If Naruto was short and planned to only be 500 chapters or so, it would be possible maybe.
Levi Phillips
Naruto>Naruto Shippuden Dragonball>Dragonball Z One Piece (pre-time skip)>One Piece (post-time skip)
Shonen stories shouldn't last twelve years. They should end sooner.
Liam Reyes
From the fucking beginning nigga
Matthew Ross
The whole thing should've been about team 9 or 10 as lead characters.
Brody Myers
Stop before the Pain fight. Pain loses because Naruto gives him a power of friendship speech. Not to mention Pain undoing all the death and destruction he caused before that moment.
It's what made me finally drop Naruto for good and only started reading it again once I heard about the trainwreck of a final arc.
Colton Torres
Hunter X Hunter are much better
Lucas Gray
kys piece of shit. Sasuke, and all Uchihas for that matter, is why Naruto is even good to begin with
Mason James
Shadow Tactics is probably the closest there is, but it's not really like XCOM that much, and the ninjas are less magic and more murderous.
Cameron White
Why is there always a thread created when I begin something? Just started Naruto a few days ago. The whole Zabuza fight and how it ended on the bridge was pretty good, I can see why people like this.
Jordan Turner
I think Naruto games would make much more sense if they went further down the Smash road not the CGI supers road - Narutimate games kinda started on both, latest games went down the latter.
Caleb Davis
I want to fuck Temari.
Henry Robinson
I've seen this thread before
Jacob Thompson
These two were literally dragon ball characters, but they couldn't fire a single beam. Well maybe, even that's debatable.
Daniel Martin
t. edgelord brainlet chimp
Gavin White
I'll be honest, that's the best it ever gets.
Although some of the Chuunin exam arc is good too.
Xavier Carter
That's fucking retarded. Other than the 1 example that op posted, nothing about naruto is strategy based.
Benjamin Clark
oh look another one of those nostalgia faggots > IT WAS BETTER BEFORE BACK IN MY DAYS fuck off you wankers
Tyler Scott
There's also famous Gaara vs Lee fight.
Julian Martinez
>the most recent arc is always the better one and you're le nostalgia fag if you disagree with me
U18's aren't allowed here.
Kevin Foster
t. fat out-of-touch piece of shit subhuman with a pea-sized shit for brain
Asher Gutierrez
He's not wrong you know. FMA is better than Brotherhood
Colton Powell
> somehow comes to conclusion that i think most recent ones are always the best
wew
there is difference between saying "I like X" and "EVERYTHING AFTER X IS HORSE SHIT"
Xavier Wood
I just finished the prelim exams and now going on to the 1 month wait before the final exam, which probably means mostly fillers. Gaara vs Lee was really great.
Christian Gomez
what enjoyment do you get out of trying to bait? its sad
Brody Nguyen
Keep going until it loses its grip on you, I know it did for me. And in case you are watching anime, keep in mind, at one point it caught up to manga and they had to make shit up on the fly, and it was terrible.
Nathaniel Johnson
But he's not wrong. After the Pain arc, it turns into DBZ levels of bullshit powerups. It was sprinkled here and there throughout the series but they kick it up to the 11th level.
The Pain arc is where they last gave a shit at creating an interesting power up, Sage Form. Beyond that it's just Naruto literally turning Super Saiyan.
Ayden Williams
Naruto chuunin exams and the subsequent powerlevel nonsense reminds me of WoW ulduar and how nothing came close to its quality afterwards. Both took a lot of effort from the creator and they realize theres much less work intensive approaches they could take in the future.
Lincoln Martinez
If anybody is that serious about watching Shippuden, don't. Read it instead. The pacing in the anime is fucking garbage. Especially at the start.
Evan Taylor
>The Pain arc is where they last gave a shit at creating an interesting power up, Sage Form. Beyond that it's just Naruto literally turning Super Saiyan.
Never heard a truer statement on this series. Fuck, why didnt they just focus on sage mode? The wait time to power up was actually intense.
Jaxon Gutierrez
I miss when ninja tools were effectively used in Naruto. Now it's all about bloodline traits and eye jutsus.
Also it's a shame that the show treated Rock Lee like shit. He was easily the best character on the show that actually tried but all his effort got shat on by bloodlines and gimmicks. Also Guy came very close to killing Madara through sheer physical prowess alone, but once again bloodlines ruin everything. Now Guy is a cripple for life, never got laid or a gf, and people barely acknowledge what he did.
Ryder Morris
How would you make Shikimaru work? Literally every arena would have to be perfectly designed to balance his one shotting. How would you do clone stuff which isn't just a swarm attack? - you can't just ask the player to manipulate that many bodies. Even in a turn based game the number of inputs would slow things to a crawl. Gaara's whole thing is that his spirit auto blocks attacks - that's not fun to play as. Neji's vision skills just don't translate into something you could actually use.
tl;dr the skills are fun but they aren't designed for a videogame
Jaxson Morris
>tfw literally no decent Might Guy statues available to purchase anywhere Waifu and lolifags were a mistake.
Colton King
It pisses me off that Naruto and Sasuke got replacement arms when they lost theirs while Guy got jack shit.
Landon Harris
Just get a Bruce Lee figure
Noah Jackson
Only winners get replacement limbs, he lost the only fight that mattered in a kamikaze attack that his government stopped sanctioning halfway through WW2.
Kayden Jenkins
Are the 8 gates still relevant and a force to be reckoned with? Or is it like a fly against a wall with all the powers now? That was THE most potential looking thing in the show for me. besides Neji's and Hinata's fighting style to attack chakra directly
Jacob Thompson
>Guy is still a virgin Holy kek
Luke Fisher
I don't think Naruto's world is built well. It is barely explained how technology is integrated into the world. The characters are using walkie-talkies but mangaka never elaborates on it and it never gets anywhere. DBZ level power ups was just the easiest way to go.
Nolan Long
Nobody won in the Sasuke vs Naruto fight yet they still got replacement arms.
Andrew Ortiz
The final arc had one good redeeming moment, and that was Might Guy opening all the gates.
John Perez
>draw >results in happy ending >old problems are settled
This is technically a win. Might Guy crippled himself in what amounted to a really good light show. Nothing was settled, and problems were made worse. No limbs for him.
Jayden Adams
Guy beating Madara would have actually been the best possibly outcome for that arc. You can still have the stupid alien bloodline garbage, have Naruto and Sasuke fight one last time and finish the Obito vs Kakashi. But having Guy finish off Madara would have been incredible. To have a villain who is so pumped up on magical bloodlines, tail powered demons and kooky crazy eyeballs finally get put down not by somebody with the same bullshit power ups, but by a guy who wasn't good at most ninja skills so he devoted his entire life to the one aspect he was good at. Beating the shit out of people through force.
Would of left a nice message to other ninja kids that you can do anything as long as you're determined and train very hard. Inherited skills be damned.
But of course that's not what happened.
Nicholas Lopez
This is how it really ended in my own head cannon, and many others.
Justin Evans
Plus having the nicest, chillest, best bro character in the entire show (except maybe for Jiraiya or Asuma) beating Madara would've been great.
Jack Hall
Draw means nobody wins, everyone loses. The whole fight was pointless in retrospect. They could have talked it out like human beings but no let's fight each other until we both lose our arms.
Sebastian Hughes
it was always "powerups" you retard thats how these things work character starts as a pleb that can only beat other plebs character becomes powerful enough that he can beat pleb's boss character becomes powerful enough that he can beat whole squad of bosses ..... character becomes powerful enough that he can beat bosses' gods
thats how it was and how it will always be if you dislike it, stop watching just stop trying to spread your shitty opinion as if its a fact
> The Pain arc is where they last gave a shit at creating an interesting power up, Sage Form. Beyond that it's just Naruto literally turning Super Saiyan
Motherfucker, Sennin Mode is basically SSJ. Bijuu Mode is like SSJ4 or so.
Isaac Morgan
I would've been fine with Guy losing if the characters at least gave him the proper respect he deserves. He got no medals, no honorary position within the village leaf government, no money for his pain and suffering, no statue or monument to his taijutsu skills, not even a hug from a girl. All that pretty much happen was Kakashi saying "good job" before he fucked off being hokage and stealing all the spotlight.
Brody Gray
Yes, thank you for explaining how Shonen series work.
It was obviously in there from the start but my point is that it accelerates to an extreme past the Pain arc.
Liam Ortiz
Guy opened them and almost wrecked madara bullshitiwa six path sage mode +10 ssj4 with nuckles until some bullshit eye jutsu
Ian Richardson
>with fights that actually took thinking Happens all the time in the last arc >using the ninja items and skills characters had? Happens all the time in the last arc
Bentley Morgan
the first season is not as good as you remember, trust me. I went back and watched it all due to nostalgia, the pacing was so utterly shit up until the sandniggas attack on the village that it made me question why I was nostalgic of it in the first place.
Luis Fisher
The ultimate Nice Guy
Cameron Reed
Nigga what? The entirety of the Chunin exams is fantastic and even the filler is more entertaining than a lot of Shippuden.
Jackson Fisher
>get ninja storm legacy collection >over 7gb of day 1 patches >can't boot up storm 2 or 3 until completed Goddamn file size bloat.
Oliver Morris
I guess it's true that nice guys finish last
Grayson Thomas
I heard somewhere, he wasnt even planned by the mangaka, the publishers wanted a rival character and thats why he is here. sasuke sucks
Christopher Wright
I ranted about this on Sup Forums recently, basically all the episodes start with a long ass 5 minute recap of the last episode, and have 6-7 minutes of flashbacks using clips directly ripped from previous episodes sprinkled throughout. Thats half the episode dedicated to shit you've already seen. it was around the chunin exams that they started to actually make new clips for the flashbacks but the recaps were still a bit too long in the first say half of that arc. And dont forget the god damn recap episode in the middle of the chunin exams, just before the forest exam.
Nicholas Wright
What if I read it instead of watching it?
Nathaniel Rogers
That's why it's better to just read the manga. They don't waste your time with filler or flashback recaps.
Matthew Ramirez
What about the new game with modes like capture the flag and different attack/heal/debuff moves?
Julian Gonzalez
This Only Pain fight worth is vs Jiraya, after that skip to the war for Kabuto and then Madara vs Guy and then the last fight if you actually enjoyed all of this and want a bit of closure.
Caleb Williams
Zabuza's death in the manga was really sad I wish they nailed it more in the anime
Noah Perez
>people actually hate the DBZ levels of retardedness.
Man just accept naruto isn't about ninjas anymore and enjoy some wizard battles.
Christopher Collins
Agreed. It would have been a breath of a fresh air if somebody normal just kicked a doped up bloodline power freaks ass once in Naruto. But I guess they didn't want to end the show early because of that since that would mean less money
Evan Clark
Imagine a Naruto mod for Divinity Original Sin 2
Justin Green
I've never read it, but I generally enjoy a series' manga over their anime adaptations, so I believe
Caleb Nelson
Pain fight really was the peak of this garbage
Jace Thomas
>just keep watching it even though you don't like it anymore
why?
Gabriel Parker
it was mainly this, i think guy would have beaten madara say if the show was on a decline. but yes, to hammer the point home, that fight was literally epic, seeing what someone who had no ninja techniques at all could do to >but seriously, can anyone beat madara uchiha? and im not talking..
Easton Flores
didn't she get married with him in the end temari was the only good female in this show
Michael Young
Imagine if you weren't a braindead weeb that just combines the first two things he can think of
Kevin Ortiz
I shall teach you my family's most powerful secret technique, "throwing heavy explosive barrels at my enemies no jutsu", which has been passed down to each new generation
