as I said , it's like Mario-and Smash Bros , DOA and NG not connected in timeline , just the characters , just think of it as different universe or whatever .
the timeline crap is just from the fans who try to connect stuff.

and if NG2 is one year before DOA then why
Kasumi
it was clear that Ayane feel for Ryu in Ninja Gaiden , when she don't even care about him at all in DOA , also in DOA universe Hayate is Ryu's best friend , in NG Ryu is a lone Ninja.
Totobeni said:
Because
Kasumi IS a ninja during the NG time period. She became a shinobi (kunoichi) and then deserted to fight Raidou in order to avenge Hayate (who got his butt whooped by Raidou years ago). It's not clear when she deserted the clan, only that it was after Hayate was crippled, after finding Raidou once again, and right before participating in the Dead or Alive tournament. Ayane is helping the Dragon Clan because she works in secret (mostly because her own clan is ashamed of her existence) because her own clan has a vested interest in remaining friendly with the Dragon Clan. She gets shady missions from the elders of her clan and operates in the shadows (hence her mission to kill Kasumi in DOA because she violated the code). This is why you never see Ayane interact with any other ninja, but always be in hiding while helping from a distance.
As far as Ayane/Ryu pairings, Ayane never liked Ryu in a romantic sense, and I don't get that at all from NG. She has a brother complex going with Hayate. And Ryu is NOT really a lone ninja. Go play Ninja Gaiden DS. He has a village, interacts with that village, and there's a lot of inferred ninja friendliness that's just not in the games. As both Hayate and Ryu are the next in line to lead their respective clans, it would make sense for them to know each other and be friends/rivals.
I apologize in advance for my nerdage slipping out.

I had a question close to the end of the game
As I was going through the land of the dead Hayabusa village or whatever it's called I came across a statue head. A little while later I found a headless statue and put the head on it and it revealed a chest with blue orbs in it. It seemed really odd, because I thought I'd tried to do as much exploring as possible, but that seemed like the only puzzle like that in the whole game. Was there more that I missed or is that really it?
Just incase anyone missed it.

co-op in this game is an absolute blast
on chapter 6 now with mentor. definitely tightens up the gameplay for sure, but still easy to go through without using any items.
for anyone who played through master on 360, this is so-far a cakewalk

I think I'm going to rent this game instead. Can't afford the full price with Uncharted 2 coming out in less than 2 weeks from now.

Man you suck at this game. I would be embarrassed to post that video. It goes to show how easy they made the damn thing.

I picked this up last night, really enjoying it. I miss the reverse wind roll though, the dash is throwing my timing off a little bit. Is there a better weapon than the Vig. Flail for massive combos though? I can't seem to get more than about 70 hits on the groups of enemies I've fought so far, though I'm only on chapter 4. Co-op is a fucking blast, just trying to open new weapons so my co-op partner isn't laughing at my Dragon Sword Ryu. Anyone looking for a moderately skilled partner, add me, psn ID is the same as my tag.

When the weapons are unlocked for Team Mission mode what determines their level? Are they whatever they were at the last save in the main game, or does something else determine it?

Yeah. The orb only glows after you hit him in the head, then you can hit the orb twice, sometimes 3 times. As long as you're using the howling cannon it shouldn't take too long.

Don't forget to use your shuriken, you can easily get 3 hits here and there, it makes the 100 combo trophy much easier.
Played to chapter 2 boss. Don't remember his name but the ninja dude.
And I died. For the record I play at Acolyte and I had like 3 healing items and a revival thing. :lol
Anyways, the game doesn't have the shake controller thing for nimpos right? Even though I haven't played Sigma 1 in over a year I started shaking the controller the first time I did inferno.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Well that was a waste. Beat the game twice and never had any disconnect problems but now I'm getting disconnected all the time so I can't play the single player game.
Wait. What the fuck am I saying?
I CAN'T PLAY THE SINGLEPLAYER GAME IF I'M OFFLINE? OF COURSE NOT, YOU GET DISCONNECTED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING BATTLE AND IT TAKES YOU BACK TO THE MAIN MENU! JUST LIKE AN ONLINE GAME, WOOOPIIDOO.
Fix this shit Guerilla.

No it's the right thread, if you're playing Sigma 2 SP while logged into PSN and you get logged out of PSN, Sigma 2 will kick you back to the main screen.
It's kinda......it's very fucking dumb.
I found a fix for the PAL CE DLC problem...
...Or they fixed it, I don't know... But it works for me now. I had been re-installing the game for about ten times, but now I got it to work. The thing I did differently from before: when starting the download I set it to "background download" rightaway (don't be too slow about it because it's a small download and the option is gone fast), the DLC should now be a normal "install-icon", when I started that, it worked fine and when booting up the game it told me I received a new costume. Succes! I also had SFIV inserted and not the Ninja Gaiden gamedisc but I doubt that had anything to do with it...
Hope it works for others as well!

I let it download and install from the PStore and it's working fine (and looking hella awesome). I also had the NGS2 disc in. They must have fixed it.

God. Team Ninja has to be the worst devs in the world.
Speaking of which, does the complete all missions trophy mean each mission+ultimate?

Some more co-op impressions. Played a couple games last night which went smoothly (still a bit of lag). Another game would freeze for 2 seconds, move 2 frames and freeze for another 2 seconds. It amazes me that people will join a bad connection game. It's similarly astonishing that someone would join a good connection game.
Anyways, the co-op seriously is perhaps the most fun I've had so far in gaming this year.
EDIT: Team Ninja needs to fix their freaking text. "Do you want to the play the mission again?" after you beat a missionwith someone. If you choose yes, it moves you back to the mission menu. You don't play "the mission again". I had some guy freak out over that and he'd keep saying no and then rejoining my game. Similarly, "Do you want to upload a record of your result?" could easily be mistaken as "do you want to upload your replay?" I've noticed some people I've played with say no even though it's a pretty high score. I initially thought it was for uploading your replay.
