I am psychic. I can hear what you think. You say to yourself: "Ninja Gaiden is too hard. This game has too many enemies. I can't see what I'm fighting half the time because the camera angles are fucked up in corners and corridors."

Microscopic penis opinions. Your dick game is on clitoral. Nub-like. No nerve endings. You couldn't fuck a round prong of an electric socket with it. How DARE you have ANY complaints about this golden goose of a game. Ninja Gaiden 2 is a beautiful, violent bad bitch who don't need no gamer opinions from people who only stim to Bloodbourne lore videos. Why don't you go fuck the moon. Real ninjas are out to play.

I am going to SHOW you what REAL GAMING is about. Strap-on a likable personality and follow me into gaming nirvana, where your chakras are properly aligned with blood and izuna drops. We are out here playing this unique, violent work of art, that is seen unfairly as completely unwinnable bullshit to "hardcore gamers" who just play Souls games with i-frame dodging. Play something else, fuckstick. This game will put a second pair of titties on your body. This game is harder than accepting that your Masters Degree is worthless. This game is harder than [ENTER YOUR JOKE OF WHAT THIS GAME IS HARDER THAN IN THE COMMENTS BELOW].

Play this shit. Throw off the rotted laurels of complacency of what you THINK you know about difficulty in gaming. This game is a never-ending gauntlet of sick action and pain. The reward of playing Ninja Gaiden 2 well is just survival.. Something you take for granted until an entire clan of ninjas and private militias concentrate on killing YOU, specifically. Seems like certain people cannot handle that pressure of fighting well-programmed enemies. They cannot even handle a subtweet. They are sub-skeet.

If Souls games are the pinnacle of challenging gaming to you, then you need to get the garden-variety of Bad Dragon tentacles out of your ass. I bet you upgraded the nunchucks first, instead of the dragon sword, because you think you are unique. You are not. You are in fact POO-nique. The dragon sword is the best weapon in the game. The charge attacks of that weapon can wipe out most enemies when you learn proper spacing and timing. It is the ol reliable. The Dragon clan's Glock 19. Ryu keeps that mf thing on him in case he sees Zack out in the wild. Zack is like if Sisqo became Jeffrey Epstein. My phone gets Amber alerts every time Hitomi goes out of the country to play volleyball. It's fucking annoying.

A drunk pervert made this game, so you know it's really good. We shot the drunk pervert into space after he made Ninja Gaiden 2 because he had to go, but goddamn did he have passion for titties and blood. Does it really take a massive pervert to make an audience feel passion in commercial products? Apparently the answer is "yes". Because no one does Ninja Gaiden better than he did. Ninja Gaiden 3 makes me want to drink radiator fluid. Ninja Gaiden 3 makes Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 look like Ninja Gaiden Black 1. Ninja Gaiden 3 would harass a customer service agent at Target, trying to get their money back for a baby carseat they bought at a flea market in 2007. Ninja Gaiden 3 would defend JK Rowling on Twitter because they are 46 years old and readily identifies as a Ravenclaw. Ninja Gaiden 3 got my DuoLingo owl spitting on the ground while doing gang signs as it makes me repeat "Ninja Gaiden 3 es un videojuego de mierda."

I love that Ninja Gaiden 2 is here now. I love seeing the first-time players reactions. That pain. That joy. Hopefully Platinum games comes through on Ninja Gaiden 4. We need more of exactly this. We need variation in games where you could be dominated by scrub enemies upon the actual second you slip up. I just gotta say that block button is there and free. You just got to press it at the right time. You might die 20 times in the same room but you will LOOK turbo-virgin immaculate at this game if you block instead of attack sometimes. It's all about reading the room. And learning about the utter bullshit a boss can do that will melt you immediately. Great game.

Now then, when is that PC Remaster of Ninja Gaiden Yaiba Z coming? That game is literally the worst game I have ever played in my entire life, for real.

Whatever you say, moron. I uniironically think Narahara is the best writer of all time across all mediums. His complex treatment of themes, and his deep understanding of the human condition is unparalleled and unprecedented. He's a dreamer, teacher, and a writer at the same time. The best thing about Muramasa is Kageaki Minato is literally Narahara. Narhara knows what art truly means, and his uncompromising vision to elevate VNs to the level of art is perfectly executed in Muramasa. You really need to give up being a human if you don't like his work/think its lowbrow porn. He's the only one in this medium who genuinely wants to make art instead of products to be sold on the market for profit. You rarely find people like him even in literary circles. You can find zero flaws in his work, and if you believe there to be flaws, you either didn't understand or are making them up to be contrarian and by doing so ignoring what he achieves making you a low iq fuck

Probably my favorite work of fiction, it truly is a once in a century story. The way it handles both morality and violence is unparalleled, Narahara Ittetsu nailed every single aspect of this vn. And the way he writes action scenes, wheter they're one-strike duels or any type of combat, is unrivaled, the soundtrack also makes it truly shine. Tsurugi combat is also really unique, and even just the mere concept of Tsurugis. The same goes to Minato Kageaki, who is masterfully written and so is every character that belongs to the main cast, each with their own views of the world and morality. The world-building is flawless and it's own history is also really interesting to see. Pure kino

The greatest game that's... not actually a game.
I started playing with it in 2000, I had just received Internet at home and started browsing several websites where I could learn about characters such as "Trunks SSJ5" from Dragon Ball, or "MB-02", a red cybernetic version of Sagat. And even better, I could download them and play as them, all for free, as long as I installed the files correctly? That was a childhood dream come true: Complete freedom in a game. (And I was still a child, too)

The fact that this is still somewhat popular in 2024 means the world to me. We've lost the good online shooters of old, we've lost the barrage of Korean MMOs, we've lost the spirit you could find in SNES platformers, but we didn't lose this. It's still alive, kicking, punching and spamming hadokens. And on top of that, we get to have characters from a whole new generation. I still own MB-02's file (RIP Trunks SSJ5) and I can make him fight against RWBY's Yang Xiao Long or Persona's Chie Satonaka if I want to - characters who didn't even exist when I discovered this game. I could even download and play as PewDiePie or Lady Gaga if I wanted to, because the only limit is what players are willing to create. And they can all fight wherever they'd like, whether it's Windhelm Castle in front of Ulfric Stormcloak himself, or the pastel doodle I made as a teen, scanned, and imported as a .jpg file to create a stage with it.

What this means is this "game" can be as amazing as you let it be. You decide if you're playing a product that's barely better than your first Game Jam submission, or a masterpiece that rivals with Capcom vs SNK 2. You decide if you're blasting retro themes, or a copyrighted OST that would make Tony Hawk blush. And if there's a tiny detail you don't like in a character, it's up to you to modify the files to your liking. This is what true gaming is in my opinion: One different game per user, finely tuned to suit everybody's tastes. None of that git gud gatekeeping bullshit. All gamers can play this, have wholly different experiences, and still claim "best game ever" when they're done.

Mugen means Infinite. There's never been a more accurate name.

Y'know for a shitpost-y platformer based off of a romance/drama visual novel this kicks ass. The plot is dumb as hell and just an excuse to fight the heroines as boss fights, but also those boss fights weirdly go kinda crazy. I did them hitless on hard for the meme but actually ended up enjoying it a ton lmao. Like yeah they just repeat the same 3-4 attacks infinitely but also if you don't know what exactly to do they'll kick your ass immediately (on hard at least). I just really like da Ef characters and the boss fights r good representations of them :3, dey even got da Chihiro beam... The final boss is also cool as fuck and has a badass vocal track to back that up like what more do u need in this world. More devs should make low budget games based off of anime or visual novels, they're awesome.

BETTER THAN VICE CITY STOP SLEEPING ON THIS GAME YOU COCKSUCKING WHORES. "B-but PSP it was made for PSP so lesser" YOU DENSE MOTHERFUCKER

The empire building, HOLY FUCK. Attack a site, renovate it into a crack house, repeat across the entire city, receive SO MUCH MONEY THROUGH A PAGER I LOVE PAGERS NOW YES. An incredible mix of San Andreas' explosive turf wars and Vice City's addictive property system, watching the numbers rise is satisfying as fuck I've lost hours of my life and I want to lose more. You do have to defend them a little more frequently than I'd like though, like I'm in the middle of collecting balloons I don't particularly wanna engage with my prostitution racket right now.

The story, FIRE. You play as the least charismatic, most self-contradicting ass motherfucker in writing history, and the way his mundane ass clashes with LANCE VANCE, the most extreme, intense CLOWN in the documented universe, the juxtaposition is gold, every cutscene is gold. You combine that with the classic "rags to riches" focus, fuelled through over the top 80s flamboyance and setpieces, and it's a pretty huge in scope journey with super memorable sequences. YOU DEFEND A PHIL COLLINS CONCERT FROM TERRORISTS WHILE "IN THE AIR TONIGHT" BLASTS THROUGH YOUR SHITTY PSP SPEAKERS, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT PLAYING THIS RIGHT NOW

A special FUCK you to the mission design, IT'S HARD AS SHIT I'M PISSED. DRIVE A FORKLIFT THAT ABSOLUTELY HAS NOT HAD AN MOT CHECK IN 10+ YEARS IT BARELY TURNS THROUGH THE MOST CRAMPED GARAGE THAT'S EVER BEEN INFRASTRUCTURED. OH AND IT'S ON FIRE, PICK UP AND DROP OFF ALL THE MOONSHINE ONE BY ONE VERY VERY SLOWLY BEFORE THE GARAGE EXPLOD- OOPS NOT FAST ENOUGH BOOOOM WHY DIDN'T YOU DO IT FASTER ARE YOU STUPID?

WIN A RACE ON THIS ATV... THE FIRST EVER ATV NOT DESIGNED FOR OFFROAD SURFACES LMAO ENJOY SPINNING ON YOUR SIDE CUNT

There's a mission where you film a zombie movie gunning down zombies in the mall, I liked that one. You can play golf. Every other mission has you street racing at 100mph or launching through the air on a jet ski or bombing areas with a helicopter or tank yeah nah, I'm crying most of the playthrough but I'm also having the time of my life, God bless the PSP your analogue stick is dreadful I will use it until the end of time

Nioh 2 has fundamentally made me better at every action game I now touch. This is a skill I earned from this game and I think proof as one of the harder games I have ever played.

Nioh 2 is not a friendly game. You will get filtered, or succeed and prosper. I think people calling this a "souls-like" is inherently disrespectful. Nioh is its own thing, and doesn't need to be held back by constant comparisons to other games. Doing so would be ignoring all the complex mechanics this game has, the mission structure, so much, yet it gets reduced to a "souls-like".

Nioh 2 demands a lot from the player. I think going in depth into the bosses is kinda pointless. All of them are going to two tap you. I'm more interested in the mechanics of the combat. With 3 stances that you should be actively changing on the go to accomodate your enemies. Special moves that actually are important to use and are short enough to be used over a standard attack. A multitude of weapons with intricate movesets. Really, Nioh 2 is the ultimate action game. It is pure, unfiltered, and wants you to get into its gameplay loop with Borderlands-esque loot. A game I can't really recommend to anyone who isn't a brain-broken action game nerd.
