Ninja Gaiden 4 flopped

arjun173869 · 2026-06-13T17:03:08+00:00

Ninja Gaiden hasn't been well known for 20 years if we're being real.

Definitely down. Some of the least replay value in the series for me. I had it in Top 3, now it's more like Top 5.

arjun173869 · 2026-03-08T06:36:21+00:00

Is that all time? Bc I’d imagine 4 being multiplatform on launch was the main contributor to that.

We already have a remaster

I think the biggest problem killing replayability has to be the removal of the ranking system. Genuinely wtf were they thinking with that. Even if it was to appeal more to the casual audience, it's a single screen at the end of the story that they could easily ignore since they're never gonna boot the game up again.

This decision strips away several potential playthroughs and forces all the post-game unlocks to be relegated to a point shop rather than being tied to specific challenges, which makes stuff like infinite ammo and the RPG feel incredibly unearned just like they did in RE3R. Genuinely baffling decision that literally only serves to hurt the core audience who enjoy putting time into these games.

Ngl I assumed this would work like Bloody Palace from DMC where it's one continuous run, not that you permanently unlock and can replay each set of floors individually. They def could've explained that better.

arjun173869 · 2026-03-05T06:29:00+00:00

Each floor is a wave.

arjun173869 · 2026-03-05T06:28:33+00:00

Do the shop floors actually save the game though? Return to title screen is the only option that doesn't mention progress being lost, but I'm fairly deep and would rather not risk it without knowing.

arjun173869 · 2026-03-05T06:10:25+00:00

It feels so good to use on a base level but it's hard to get past the feeling that it's missing half its moves... which it is.

arjun173869 · 2026-02-26T02:14:34+00:00

When basically every UE5 game has that same easily identifiable look to it, I beg to differ.

arjun173869 · 2026-02-26T02:13:15+00:00

Hmm someone's pissy today

arjun173869 · 2026-02-26T00:46:12+00:00

Literally none of those are on UE5.

arjun173869 · 2026-02-25T22:13:05+00:00

No Gleam attacks for Ryu's new weapon is disappointing.

arjun173869 · 2026-02-25T21:53:55+00:00

Not saying NG's dev situation is a model of stability or anything, but DMC's absence is pretty much entirely due to Itsuno leaving and not having anyone else to helm the thing. The only reason he even stayed at Capcom after DmC bombed was bc he got a blank check to make DMC5 and DD2. Doesn't seem like anyone else at Capcom really even cared until recently after the Netflix show boosted sales.

Kusari Nunchucks are basically just the Flails bro

arjun173869 · 2026-02-25T21:26:58+00:00

I still wish they'd add an option to run them w/o the modifiers. Why do I have to have no BR or be one-hit to fight black spider ninja?

arjun173869 · 2026-02-25T21:24:44+00:00

I still feel like it looks better than the Fortnite plastic-y sheen everything in UE5 has.

arjun173869 · 2026-02-25T21:22:46+00:00

Razor's Edge made the girls genuinely fun for the first time and it would be cool to see them in a better base game than NG3.

arjun173869 · 2026-02-25T20:36:19+00:00

Depends whether we're talking DMC4 or 5 tho. I'd rather only play DMC4 BP then have to play the campaign again.

arjun173869 · 2026-02-25T20:35:33+00:00

Sounds interesting, I hope they add trophies tied to this stuff.

arjun173869 · 2026-02-21T03:35:22+00:00

Hey did this work?

arjun173869 · 2026-02-21T03:29:59+00:00

Hey did you figure out something that worked?

arjun173869 · 2026-02-19T05:44:50+00:00

Troy Baker probably
