NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor's Edge [NINJA GAIDEN: Master Collection]

Razor's Edge is, by many accounts, a very frustrating experience. Sadly, 'difficulty' can often be interlaced with 'bad game design' and this is a perfect example of that. Despite being arguably the best feeling Ninja Gaiden of all time - it's also one of the worst in terms of overall difficulty. This can be attributed to a variety of factors, but there's almost too many to list. The earliest example, however, is the Alchemist - an enemy variant that is literally 'the worst implemented enemy type in any game ever'! Not being a funny joke here - these guys are terrible! They wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have triple the health pool of everyone else, and maybe if your introduction to them wasn't a gang initiation (with you facing 3 of them at once) and all of this occuring super super early into the game - y-yeah. Yeah. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad. Yeah. For some reason the game waits until the 2nd level to teach you about one of the most critical aspects of it's core design, I.E. 'Steel to Bone' attacks. Essentially, dodge a grab/heavy and punish with a heavy - get a big instakill punish that hits the next nearby opponent. It's insanely useful - but nobody knows how it works until the 2nd ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ level. Why? Why keep critical information from the player? The Alchemists - for any would-be players who might be stuck with the game for some reason - are misunderstood. Alchemists have 2 modes - Defend/Range and Melee When the hands are glowing, that means they're in Defend/Range. They'll use ranged attacks that take a while to wind up, and one Flying Swallow or Heavy Attack destroys their shield, putting them in Melee Mode. During Melee Mode they jump you, dodge your attacks, but they don't block! Meaning you can land some quick launches into air if you're lucky. Try to learn the 'Chain Ultimate Technique'. When you have two Alchemists in 'Defend/Range' Mode, you can try to get some distance on one in the Melee Mode - and land an Ulti. Right afterwards, the AI likes to charge up it's next shield mode, giving you plenty of time to charge up the next Ulti. Keep going until they're dead. - As far as the Sword Alchemists go I haven't faced them enough to know, go look it up. They aren't as bad. But if you chose to skip, don't even stress. It's a perfect case study in god awful game design and horrid difficulty. It's the perfect example of a franchise whose entire identity became intertwined with 'Difficulty' - and this is the end result. Stripping the player of crucial information for chuckles, half of the bosses being 3v1's, cheap shots, linear asfk design, and tons of enemy variants you are expected to deal with - despite them all being together, and covering every angle. There's no being good at this game, because the game itself if bad. More to the point, there's no reason to get good at this god awful experience. Spare yourself, or endure hell.

demasiada nostalgia en estos juegos, si no lo haz jugado tampoco lo hagas porque la verdad la cuestion de la camara es una vrg... pero en general muy bueno para su epoca y con buena dificultad. je

люблю сюжет

早矢是真的没有能力做游戏，小小弟都救不回来这狗屎一般的敌人ai，究极橡皮人，比忍龙2还粪坑的boss。各种断我连招，不如魔女2的qte. 哎，真的寒了心

Хотел порекомендовать игру, но битва с финальным боссом это худшее, во что я играл в своей жизни. Даже финальный босс первой NG отдыхает. Скучнейшая безыдейная ♥♥♥♥♥♥. Особенно мне понравилось, когда я на следующий день зашел, а меня заставили заново пиздиться с регентом. Просто пиздатое сохранение, разработчиков матерей ♥♥♥♥. Вся игра 7/10, финальная лока 0/10. Ощущение, что создатель этой хуиты просто ненавидел людей и хотел сделать наихудший и наидушнейший уровень, от которого у тебя сгорит жопа. Что ж, у него ♥♥♥♥♥ получилось

Said jayabusa 3

While objectively the best version of Ninja Gaiden 3, I hate this game. I'm used to punishing gameplay, getting stuck on bosses, and dealing with mechanics that feel genuinely unfair, but here it's just intolerable and this wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if you had the luxury of healing items or didn't also lose max hp in addition to your current hp or the bosses were actually... fun. Overall, a bad game to an otherwise good collection.

i don't care

Ninja Gaiden 3 es una pésima tercera entrega que ensucia injustamente lo que pudo ser una buena trilogía. Concebido sin la mano y la dirección de Tomonobu Itagaki, el juego simplemente salió mal, esa es la realidad. Ni siquiera la versión Razor's Edge lo pudo salvar. Hay pocas cosas rescatables como la jugabilidad, el diseño de Ryu, la banda sonora y el modo misión. Más allá de eso, realmente no puedo decir nada más a favor de este juego. El sistema de combate suele estar bastante roto, a veces funciona y a veces no. Me pasó que en momentos cruciales los enemigos se recuperaban de ataques de los que normalmente no podrían hacerlo, además de que es muy fácil romper el juego: Basta con utilizar el bastón Lunar en su nivel más alto o la guadaña Eclipse spammeando el ataque de 360 grados, van a ver que ningún enemigo se salva. Y hablando de enemigos, estos deben ser por lejos los peores y más molestos de toda la saga, sobre todo los jefes. (Mención deshonrosa al Dinosaurio) El diseño de nivel, está bastante bien la mayor parte del tiempo, pero todo lo que es escenarios... No se siente el valor artístico de los títulos anteriores, hay mapas como el de la introducción que parecen sacados de Call of Duty. La historia, es aburrida y predecible. Así sin más. Y eso que Ninja Gaiden nunca brilló por tener una buena historia. Para mí, no se pierden de nada si se lo saltean, de hecho háganlo... Es mil veces mejor el 4.

为什么这坨我能玩那么久，因为这是pc上最迅猛的敌我交互act。 ——如果能忍总是刚打爽就给喂一口 （泥鳅要压制，龟防要确认，忍龙系列第一次在杂兵战加这种寸止感很强的机制，堆练度熟悉一下就好了）
