I believe I read somewhere that to get the trophy for Acolyte, you just

Go to the last chapter in chapter challenge and select Acolyte (and beat it of course)

assuming you first beat it on warrior.

Yesterday it was happening to me on Wipeout and on the dash, so I just stood offline after I got sick of being kicked back to the menu. Only been disconnected once today, and it was my router's fault.

edit: Great, now I get an error right at the end of the triple hallway in Chapter 16 or whatever right before the save. God damn PSN.

Wait for their attack strings to finish, then hit them. If they counter-stun you, just kingdom dash out of it. If they jump into the air, wait for like a quarter of a second, then dash out of the way. They jump multiple times sometimes. Pretty easy battle.

No, they took Inciendiary Shurikens away from Ryu in this version presumably so Ayane could have something unique. T.T

Most people that I've talked to that own both versions were disappointed by it.

The Blood added so much to the experience. The combat doesn't feel as satisfying without it. Also the game has less enemies and feels a lot easier than the original. I hate that you can't fully upgrade your weapons before the end of the game like you could in the original. It's just stupid. Co-op is decent but you're not playing through the game with another person it's just mission mode. Playing as Ayane left a lot to be desired. Not as horrible as Rachel but nowhere near as fun as Ryu himself. The new bosses weren't anything special, and really feel like an after thought. It's a GREAT port. The upped resolution and improved image quality is a plus. But overall I wanted this to be THE definitive version and it just isn't. There's too much I miss from the original.

Edit: And might I add it's infuriating to be repeatedly signed out of my PSN profile during my single player sessions and being booted out of the game.

DR2K · Oct 3, 2009

Square times 4 is the most effective combo. Dash in and out when after they start jumping, after you dodge the second jump then do that combo, and dash the hell away. Rinse repeat.

PSGames said:

No sir, it's the definitive version by a long shot. The original was an unbalanced, unfinished, unpolished mess of a game that should never have been released. NGS2 fixes all the wrong crap and adds a whole lot more to the mix. The only thing lost in translation is some poorly rendered blood spatters. The only questionable exclusion was the TOV. Even then, nothing major.

I Beat Path of the Master Ninja and All I Got Was This Stupid Trophy.

Seriously; you don't unlock anything for beating PotMN. So lame. Anyway, not much really changes between the difficulties in this game. There aren't any more enemies than any other difficulties, they're just a higher grade (usually) and they do WAY more damage. One throw on MN = instant death, generally. The bosses are probably the hardest part, none of the levels were that hard.

To give an idea of how reduced the enemy count is in this game, between all three of my playthroughs and 5 or 6 team missions, I have around 3900 kills between all of my weapons. A full run of Master Ninja in NG2 is around 4200 kills.

On a side note, #1 on chapter challenge PotMN for chapter 1

Eat it Faiz82!

DR2K said:

Ah yeah, just remembered that. I played one match online to check it out and the silver frame is indeed gold. Also, while the match ran at a reduced framerate, there was no freezing or input lag so it was perfectly playable. Then again I don't know how that particular stage runs offline, so maybe the framerate blows there too.

edit: Forgot to mention, I didn't fight any red dragons or those hover bots, so unless they're in the Team Missions they got cut.

Risette · Oct 3, 2009

Ugh, I still can't beat those guys. I pretty much got the wait for attack then strike thing down, but the other ass attacks me half of the time. Though I did get 1 down and the last to like 2/100 of health...

Then I got bodyslammed.

I have no healing or ninpo restore. Can/should I just restart the chapter?

Stay away from the other Tengu. Only the one that is closest to you will attack, the other will just occasionally throw some incendiary shurikens. When one of them does the double stomp, you can actually get a quick Triangle hit in when they land after the first stomp if you time your dashes right. Try using her 360+Triangle attack when they're open; it's what I used to take them out on Master Ninja and it seems pretty safe even if they block it.

Darkpen · Oct 3, 2009

So I just fought the giant water dragon thing in the underground water area.... and I was wondering (outside of "was I fighting it wrong, or was I supposed to use the cannon and shoot its mouth for maximum damage along with the fire spell"): Are there items in this area? You know, before you kill all of the fish to initiate the boss fight, were there any items? I sort of just went and started slicing up the fish :S

edit: oh, you get back into that area after the fight, lolz

Yeah, I guess it did add to the experience somewhat, but Team Ninja probably didn't want the game hidden behind counters at stores in Japan again because it was too violent to be displayed on the shelves. Add in the fact that X360 systems were not necessarily the most desirable consoles in Japan and that should tell the story. I even heard NG2 was banned in a few countries. Not sure if all of this is true or not, but I've heard this same story several times now. I think Team Ninja wanted to try to make the game a little bit more mainstream. Btw, this is the definitive version. Most of the issues of NG2 were resolved and improved upon. I know most individuals feel that NG1 is the better game, but I still think NGS2 is better than NG1(any of them). When I went back to NG1, the gameplay felt great still, yet archaic and slow to me.

DOA5 is in production. Itagaki confirmed it in 2006. It's just a matter of when TN wants to show it. Probably after Metroid Other M, and around E3.

God. The brain dead co-op AI really ruins everything about the team missions. You NEED to play online if you plan on finishing any mission above mentor, as the computer dies every 5 seconds.

Darkpen · Oct 3, 2009

So I'm gonna stop for the night at the... snowy place? I think I'm in eastern europe or something. Some thoughts:

I really, really enjoyed playing as Momiji and Rachael. Was happy to see that Rachael still has her crazy roll-over-the-back-of-enemies move, though I'm sad that since she's using a hammer now, that it can't be turned into a cheap decap attack, lolz

On the other hand, her moveset has awesomely increased in really cool ways that I approve of. I really like both moves where she incorporates her gun, but I primarily prefer using the version where she jumps into the air. I'm really enjoying my time through Path of the Warrior. Its good stuff.

I'm almost tempted to buy a 360 and either buy or rent NG2 on the cheap on that just to compare in terms of balance, since that's the one thing that everyone complains about. I've had a few rough times with the bosses, but overall NGS2 pacing and balance feels a lot like NG, and that's something I'm just absolutely loving.

Something that surprised me was Momiji's doublejump. I mean, that's really, really cool :lol I never thought I'd see a doublejump in a Ninja Gaiden game. More so, her aerial UT is pretty cool to pull off. At first I was having trouble with the 2 bosses, and I was afraid that it would turn into a.... what were they called? Ragni and Rudra? Something like that? The bosses in DMC3, where if you defeat one, the remaining guy beefs up :< I was afraid that was gonna happen here, but it didn't, which I appreciated greatly :lol

God, playing this, and seeing these lovely ladies, really makes me want a PS3 DoA D:

or even a DoA beach volley ball, lolz

I played NG Sigma relentlessly back in the days but it's been two years or something since I played it last time

I feel really comfortable after playing the NGS2 demo for 30+ hours though, that's where I got my training.

Btw, anyone else going to have a problem getting 1000 kills with each weapon? I mean, after using the Dragon Sword in Warrior from beginning to end, I got the trophy near the end! That means there's pretty much like 1200 enemies from start to end, which is pretty lame

What's everyone's strategy?

EDIT: Oh and I thought I'd manage to beat both Warrior, Mentor AND Master Ninja yesterday in one sitting (yes I don't have a job or a social life atm) but by the time I got to chapter 5 or something in Master Ninja, blood came out from my thumb nail, like next to it. Dead fucking serious, there's an opening atm, had to cover it up and shit. Can't play for crap now

Just popping in to say that this is an incredible game. I never really got into the first one (picked it up the day it came out, got pretty far that night then never got around to playing anymore; picked up Sigma last year and didn't even get as far as I had on Xbox), but I adore this. Character, enemy and enviroment design is all abysmal, but the gameplay's so much fun it doesn't matter. I really feel like a badass ninja obliterating everyone in my path.

So good.

However, whoever designed the online so that it kicks you from single player if your connection fucks up needs to give his Computer Science degree back. Seriously, what the fuck is that?

Die Squirrel Die · Oct 3, 2009

Ugh, the new day has brought a flabbiness in my skills. I did manage to make it through chapter 7 but used all my items in the process. I think I need to spend some time in the mission mode to get warmed up again.
