Found it out by accident and I'm trying to see how long I can continue it in one string
Obviously it's not really practical cause enemies can block but maybe only doing 1 loop could have some use. Pretty funny regardless
I wonder how high you could go with it in training mode
Havent played in several months.
Coming back after all this time and the game still feels PEAK
This is my first Ninja Gaiden game, im on Chapter 8 playing Normal and honestly loving the combat, but im starting to wonder if im learning the game properly
I usually save almost everything for bosses. Healing, big heals, damage buffs, defence buffs etc. I barely use them on normal enemies.
The first boss, actually gave me trouble because I was completely new and had no idea how to manage anything yet. But when I reached the Chapter 7 boss, I went in fully stocked, used all my healing + offence/defence buffs and beat him first try. It felt kinda weird because ive seen people call him one of the first real walls/noob stompers.
What makes me question it more is that when I watch other people fight him on Normal, they're doing way more advanced stuff than me. Im mostly doing basic XXXX/YYYY combos, perfect parries/dodges and Bloodraven when needed. I barely remember most of the combos ive unlocked
So is this pretty normal for a first Normal playthrough, or am I relying on consumables enough that im avoiding learning the combat properly? Should I just keep going and learn the deeper stuff naturally, or spend some time in practice first?
Not trying to brag about the first try btw lol, its actually the reason im worried im doing something wrong.
Don’t be too hard on me. This is my first playthrough, and I’m playing the game on Hard Mode without using any items.
I spent 4 hours trying to beat him yesterday and couldn’t do it. Today I came back, gave it another shot, and beat him on my first try.
I guess I sometimes underestimate how much of a difference taking a break can make.
Just some fun with the training room doing practical combos.
Guys last night my disc somehow was cracked. I’ve had it since it released last October.
It was a great game and it sucks I have to get a new one. I will be missing it until I buy a new copy to play it again.
I’ve sent it in the playstation reddit and it seems it can’t be fixed.
I just tried the 4GB VRAM limit bypass for Ninja Gaiden 4 and itnis working fine. I am using the RTX 2050 with DLSS enabled and resolution set at 1080p at low settings. First I was only able to get 15fps at 1080p and then I restarted my laptop and changed some settings in the config file
DedicatedGpuMemoryPoolSizeGB = 0.7
SharedGpuMemoryPoolSizeGB = 0.1
DLSSScalingFactor = 2.0
Now it is working flawlessly at 60fps. I suggest you to try the mod first without making changes to the config file and if you are getting low fps then you can modify the settings.config like I did. I hope the developers had not limited the VRAM for this game to 4GB or else I would have played when it released. I have constantly checked the NexusMods for this particular mod and just recently someone named TheBattleDog has uploaded it. Huge thanks to TheBattleDog.
And regarding the game, I love the combat and the gore. I just hoped that there were separate buttons for the parry and dodge since its hard to play on keyboard. Or maybe it's just that all the games that I have played have had separate buttons for parry and dodge and this is just new to me. I am sure that I will get a hang of it after a few chapters. I have currently completed Chapter 1 and I did die many times. I have attached some screenshots for your reference.
This game feels criminally smooth. It's basically everything I've always wanted from a Ninja Gaiden game.
All the problems I had with the NGB2 remake are just gone here. The camera actually does what I want, you get warned when enemies are shooting at you from behind, there's a proper lock-on system, and the dodge/parry/guard system feels incredibly smooth.
In general, I never really feel like I'm dying because of some cheap or unfair bullshit. The game also has an insane amount of accessibility options, which I really appreciate.
I'm honestly just happy that a lot of the problems I've had with Ninja Gaiden since NG1 finally aren't an issue anymore.
Don't get me wrong, I liked NGB2 despite its flaws (although some of the bosses on Master and those 2-3 enemy waves could feel pretty cheap), and NG1 still has an insane amount of charm despite all its problems.
But Ninja Gaiden 4 already feels way more polished and refined to me. It genuinely feels like they learned from their mistakes, and that makes me happy.
When I play NGB and NG2. While I liked how cool he is I dont think i truly care about who ryu is in terms of story. But I NG4 finally make me clicks with the character. From a badass hero he became a legendary figure who had a strong view of the world and what needs to be done. He didnt hasitate to work with D.D.O. for containing the Dark Dragon seal, his time with Seori makes me realize that from Ryu perspective everything is about precision. He's a super ninja, that means he devoted himself to the mission and choosing what's best for the greater goods. And when clashing with Yakumo he also knows to put his hands down if the situation is needed. He let the Raven Ninja do the job says a lot about him after NG1 and NG2 that he tries to do everything by himself. He choose what's best but not to let his own guard down, makes sure Yakumo had the skill to pull it off and he playing that straight. Essentially he finally become a master like how Murai taught him to be his own Ninja in NG1, NG4 complete the master Ninja arc for Ryu. In NG1 he's a passionate young man who has motivation for revenge. In NG2 he's a professional badass who keeping things right. And NG4 makes him a Master who knows what's best. I think it's perfect
I try to dodge and block many times but its not effective enough. Thanks to anyone !
Everytime I see ninja gaiden fans talk about dmc games they always hate the game with the reason 1.enemy dont attack or 2."3 buttons to perform 1 skill" which aren't true at all and I never see dmc fans trash talk to ninja gaiden series. Yes im pissed about it thats why im ranting here..
