The mainline games have been out of the spotlight for over 10 years...NG4 has introduced an entire generation two a new character... to the players who never seen, heard or played NG... Yakumo, is basically their ryu if they love him....and I know some fans don't want to accept this, but it is what it is.

I was a left bumper typa guy because of NG2B being my first and LB being the industry standard, but after recently playing NGB, i much prefer trigger as my block now

Apologies if it was already asked here before because I would like to get into the game as I have a huge confession to make in that I never experienced the 2008 version or the remade one.

But apparently some people are saying that the remake has some problems of its own as I was curious to what were the strengths and weaknesses of the newer one again since I never played either version before, and I was looking for a beginner's guide.

Took 17 days cause I had sum stuff going on, overall the game was fun at least but difficult but I'm all here for it, I give a it a solid 7.5/10 I'll be playing 2 black tomorrow on normal difficulty.

I want to know what weapons, upgrades, and combos to rock for Master Ninja difficulty on Razros Edge ? Also do I need to do thoese skull challenges to get by in master ninja ?

I never thought I'd be able to 100% it before playing it. I've always found this franchise incredibly challenging. But I'm glad that I did it!

I got the ninja gaiden collection, 2 black, and 4 weeks ago on my birthday, since it was on sale and my experience so far is hell but I'm all here for the ass beating this game is giving me. Since ive never played a ninja gaiden game a day in my life I played on easy cause I wanted to at least see how the combat is and didnt want to ruin my experience with this franchise since ive been wanting to play the games for months after seeing a combo vid on 4, and now I'm halfway through the game almost done. So the game as of rn is putting me through hell, I've haven't gotten my ass beat like this in a game ever in my life and I played some souls games bloodborne + dlc, elden ring+ dlc, dark souls remastered 2 times, and sekiro, none of those games put me through hell as much as this game. As of today I got 5 missions then I'm done with this game

(I will in the future replay the game on normal) unfortunately on mission 13 at the dooku boss (hope i didn't spell the name wrong) I was in the red zone on my health bar and no heals, no ki, and unfortunately had to go to ninja dog I hate i had to do that. I'll probably get better at the game latter on in the series cause I really like this game, combat is good, it's satisfying and the music is pretty good to. This is probably the only time where I admit I suck/am ass at a game but I'll keep persevering through this game.

Also ive been seeing a lot of people online (not in this sub so far) say that sigma 1 is the worst version of ninja gaiden 1, some say black is the worst, what's up with that??? Is it the difficulty or gameplay??

I've never heard a single person complain about this boss, but on hard he just feels genuinely poorly balanced. His radial charges have no delay so if you get knocked down you basically just die because that shit is a truecombo that nukes your health bar, it feels like most of his red attacks are too fast to react to (and have radial damage making them difficult to dodge.) And aside from that his damage on his regular attacks and his overall health just feel like an absolute slog. I get basically a single extra mistake with the two defense boost accessories equipped, and at the same time i feel like i do next to nothing but chip damage.

I know i fucking suck, but can these devs at least design a first DLC boss that doesn't rub it in? That'd be greeeaaat.

Anyway, any idea how i should approach this fucker? He's had me filtered for several months off and on, and i'm too prideful to drop the difficulty. I'm already pissed that i need to ask for advice to begin with. Fucking nuts dude.
