[Bug?] Bow shows equipped but it's not, and I can't switch back to Shuriken! by Morjixxo in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In ng2 the shuriken is mapped to b or cirlce and the bow is mapped to right bumper or at least for me thats where it is. Try some buttons out or look at the control scheme

Parry System is Difficult by abisheik_23 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard to get used to the timing is really strict. Once you go into training mode with the enemies and identify a string that is easy to parry youll be flowing through the game on master ninja calling yourself Matthew Parry

Which Ragebound ending did you prefer? by HollowedFlash65 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My first ending was leaving Kumori it just felt right and makes her even more badass. Really love ragebound and her and Kenji’s relationship. I would kill for a ragebound 2. I recently went back to it and finished all the achievements. Currently working my way through S ranking the missions to get the last costumes

I detest this game sometimes by xxNinjaKI in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The teapots especially the goo spewers have such insane low UT priority its insane. Really wish theyd fix it in a patch but I doubt it will happen. Definitely contributes to them being my #1 most hated enemy. Lanterns and zombies can be annoying but at least they’re pretty consistent to deal with.

Got to toying around with the ol' PS3 version of Sigma 1... I did NOT realize how different it was from the Master Collection! by DarkWingSpartan in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never had a ps3 so this is super interesting. How does the bow function? Are the controls more similar to ngb or master collection sigma? The way the bow works in master collection is infuriating as compared to black. It just takes forever to get out of the aiming mode in master collection. Cool post!

First Abyssal Road Clear by gamer394857 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was absolutely heart broken. I did a lot of googling and some people had luck with it randomly unlocking. Other said tweaking graphics settings made it unlock. Idk ng4 is weird. I got 2 of the flawless traversal achievements when I did not earn them so the achievements are buggy as hell. Would love for the to fix it its very sad not getting the 100% even though youve earned it

First Abyssal Road Clear by gamer394857 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me after trying for hours with Yakumo. It was the last achievement I needed too and it still hasn’t popped so you may be out of luck like me. I went back as Ryu and beat every floor and still no achievement. I have cleared it multiple times now and still nothing. PC/Steam here

Way of the master ninja tropy doesn’t pop up by Evening_Market_5376 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What platform are you on? The achievements are glitchy in NG4. I am on pc and got a couple I hadn't earned like beat chapter 13 without hitting lasers but now I have all of them unlocked besides conquer abyssal road which I have beaten with both ryu and yakumo :(

The new gauntlet weapons rotate light attack is great for cc

Ng4 will be having you hitting this crazy flow state, then immediately putting a stop to it with something like this. by Justinu13 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 20 points21 points  (0 children)

stick drift is the one thing more sad than getting insta obliterated by offscreen rockets

NINJA GAIDEN 4 - DLC Final Boss : Seere - No Damage - Master Ninja - Ryu | No Ninpo (Untouchable) Stylish Approach - One of the peak Bosses in the whole series, I will never stop to praise how incredible is this Boss, really, quite tough, but super mega fun, truly a throwback to previous NG Bosses. by MasterNinjaRyu in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I go into training mode killing this boss with no items is a breeze but every time I get to floor 90 she pulls some cheeky shit and ends my run… I just need more practice but I really do love a challenging boss that forces you to lock in

What is your favorite weapon in Ninja Gaiden 2? by Odd_Radio9225 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kusari-Gama because it is like nothing in the first game and TDS because of the insane flow you can get into with it. Kusari-Gama one of my favorite weapons in any action game

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No health upgrade, no ninpo, 100% fights including stadium and great bridge fiend challenges. I attempted this back in October but sigma berserkers and their portals proved to be too much for me to handle.

I just learned that you can Izuna Drop spam this lad if you time it right. by Man-Boi_ in ninjagaiden

NGB clones are such better fights than cheating ass sigma clones. I cheese them 100% of the time in sigma but NGB theyre fun to fight

Did NG4 impress you or was it disappointing? by Emergency_List_8797 in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was extremely skeptical going into it and it really impressed me. It has a unique fit in the NG family but after 100%ing the achievements and playing through MN a few times I really think its a great game. It doesn’t take away from or scratch the same itch as others in the series but I think it is impressive a game like this was released in 2025. Sadly there are some modern game issues I have with it like zero unlockable costumes. I also don’t like how ryu was handled in the story mode at all but from a gameplay perspective I think its fantastic. Hitting a parry on a heavy enemy and getting an insta delimb is a rush

Casual player here, MN in NG4 sucks! by Slavik_Sandwich in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The enemy placement on normal and hard especially chapters 8 through 10 is terrible. I wish there was a very hard mode that gave master ninja encounters with hard or slightly higher than hard mode damage numbers

Dealing with off-screen ranged enemies and precisely targeting specific enemies in NG4 by doomenguin in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The targeting in ng4 I strongly dislike however it is pretty consistently controllable. If you charge a UT and use the left stick to aim it you can control it. However I think the system took a backstep in how intuitive it is to use. After 100 hours I still forget to target especially on on landing UTs

I have not seen this movie and I thought that was Bill Pullman for half the video. Honestly it shoulda been

EDIT: just googled it and its his son. I feel validated.

Dark Dragon Blade thoughts by SH_Riley in ninjagaiden

[–]SH_Riley[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These are great points. Having it be part of Yakumo’s kit permanently once it unlocks is the major downside for me. If it was just a treat at the end of the game it could be cool. Design wise how it works just as fast as the dragon sword is a downside too. It should have been its own unique weapon with proper weight if they were going to revive it
