This one? (I was near a save point, lol)White Bio Ninja, can't find any good screens of it though
Checked my 360 and at some point I managed to upload a chapter 6 Master Ninja save to the cloud
Nice, shoutouts to Wario64 and the TV promo from so many years ago that let me stack free Gold for years
Now i'm just hoping on a framerate analysis
the patched stairs are still pretty fucking wild i thought. unless they patched them again in this versionSo the epic stairs are no more.
*pours one out for the spectacle that once was and shall never be again*
But the rest of the game... soon as I get a chance I'm re-getting an X1X.

Almost looks like something out of Warframe
As much as I loved making that thread back in the day, nobody needs to visit that old site anymore.
Fixing that now. Didn't have a source on the repost but I got the proper credit now.
Some x enhanced games don't get enhanced huds just game graphics.Ah it's under graphics already but the hud seems sub hd on my end while the other textures are sharp
I remember using lunar jump x x yMade it to Genshin tonight. I forgot how bad those bosses were. Their prevent you from using your moveset and resort to spamming some normal attacks. The worst is yet to come.
The moment to moment combat is still excellent and it really opens up when you have fully upgraded weapons.
Now I remember why I never got all the achievements. You have to play the entire game with each weapon without switching and there are 8 (if I remember correctly). The good thing is once you finish a playthrough you can restart on any unlocked difficulty with your fully upgraded weapons.
*thumbs up*I'd agree with you that NG Sigma is worse but Sigma 2 is waaaaaaaaay better than vanilla NG2. There are a lot of just horrible boring sections and bosses in vanilla. And I say this as someone who has beaten NG2 Vanilla on master difficulty. The rift between Itagaki and Tecmo really shows with Ninja Gaiden 2 vanilla as its not nearly as tuned to perfection as the first game Itakagi put out. The game just being balls hard doesn't make it better designed. So get out of here with this "ninja gaiden for babies" shit.

Don't have ng2 but hd is 720p so it would look bad scaled up to near 4k. In one of the newly xenhanced Splinter Cell games the in engine gfx are near 4k but the cutscenes and HUD are around 720p. Forza Horizon 1 has a 4k HUD because it originally used vector graphics so it was easy to scale.Is that the same with you ng 2? I saw the video here and they got HD huds
That's awfulI remember people going side weapons and throws only up until one of the late chapters to save themselves the multiple runs
Is there where we pretend abusing i-frames to avoid explosive shuriken spam was fun?Altered difficulty, changed the balance of encounters, balance of gameplay, entire sections are downgraded.
Sigma is Ninja Gaiden for babies.
I played a good 2 hours and a half on X and it's so glorious. It's beautiful and I didn't notice any framerate drops. Since all my saves are endgame, I will gladly play everything again.
Wrong quote sorry
For UK people. It's still only £1.50 in cex.

Did the 360 have cloud saves? If it did, how do I upload all those saves so that I can use the same files on my X?
Yes, you need to have Xbox Live Gold to transfer your save to the cloud on a Xbox 360.

Sigma 2 is trash. The "rebalancing" isn't so much of a proper rebalance as just outright neutering the purpose of NG2's combat design and its encounters. It removes a significant amount of enemies on screen downgrading it to NG1 levels where you only fight 3 characters at one time. The combat in 2 is designed towards more offensive play and quickly and efficiently taking out many many enemies at once. That's a part of the thrill is having a crap ton of ninjas and demons out for your blood, and you being equipped with the techniques and weapons to take them all out. That was the purpose of the obliteration techniques and dismemberment system. The only highly unbalanced part that got super annoying in vanilla 2 is the amount of off-screen projectiles. If they got rid of that it would have been fine. This is all on top of Sigma 2 completely removing gore and blood and hilariously replacing it with purple mist along with the removal of body parts remaining on screen that gave you the visual feedback of being a dangerous super ninja.
Also Sigma 2 may have removed 2 bad bosses, but in return they added in 5 more shit bosses, then forced gameplay chapters for the side characters who play like ass compared to Ryu.
NG2 XB
Trash
Yeah they paired the enemies down a tad because guess what the vanilla version had performance issues. Also I totally refute the notion that more is better anyways. Ninja Gaiden isn't about quantity. Tecmo has a series for that its called Dynasty Warriors. I'd rather have a set of smaller better tuned enemies than just a swarm of enemies for no good reason. And over everything I'd rather take Sigma 2 because the underground section with the worms in Ninja Gaiden 2 vanilla is the worst segment in franchise history period and I'm including the entirety of Ninja Gaiden 3 in that. Its so bad. I don't know how anyone greenlit that.
It's a lot easier than Sigma 2's version.Can't wait for new players to rage at the armadillos fight lol
Thanks 🙏 only €1 in Ireland lmaoFor UK people. It's still only £1.50 in cex.

He must be referring to specifically the "surprise" lol.
I remember the game pre-patch having intense slowdown but no framerate drops. Then I think they "fixed" this with a later patch that reduced the enemy count. Not sure if it also removed the slowdown from the original 360 version.Removed entirely?? Nuts. I haven't played since launch so I suffered the single digit frames. Never revisited it like I did with Black, I'll probably rectify that now.

Never played more than 10 minutes of any NG game, I remember it being hard but how hard is it exactly?
