What makes a 'good' game?

[Alpha Six]

Ninja Gaiden -- wtf did Ninja gaiden have to do with button mashing, attack combos and a flashing handkerchief/scarf/whatever the fuck that is?

Are you literally retarded

Did you actually play a next-gen Ninja Gaiden game or did you just watch a 30 second gameplay video?

Ninja Gaiden has always been about difficult enemies and tricky platforming combined with ninja skills.
You wanna know what really "changed" so much about the next-gen sequels? They realized "You know what, Ryu Hayabusa is a fucking ninja, he should PROBABLY attack like one."

And that's where the battle system comes in. Which ADDS difficulty, because now you have INTELLIGENT enemies combined with platforming.

And button mashing in Ninja Gaiden will only get you killed anyway. Idiot.

And you must be shrooming, because there's no such thing as a "flashing handkerchief" in any Ninja Gaiden game ever. Except for maybe the pink ribbon you get for playing the game on the easiest difficulty.


It's called "evolution." Get with the fucking times, if they made a 3D Ninja Gaiden game where you didn't get to actually use attack combos and shit, it would be incredibly dull and uninspiring.

Mega Man -- Well, not counting Battle Network, I liked where Zero took it.

Again, not sequels. Completely different story arcs in completely different time periods.

Street Fighter -- as an SNK fan it pains me to say this, but Playmore fucked KOF over and Capcom's actually on the rise now

lol, SFIV is not a good sequel. SFIII still towers over it in every fathomable way. SSFIV? Looking great. Still probably won't beat SFIII.

And KOF12 was literally the only hiccup the KOF series has ever had-- and 13 is looking to fix all of the flaws that 12 had (due to being incomplete,) so you can't really rule KOF out like that. KOF has always been a more underground series compared to SF, but KOF has infinitely better gameplay.
