Continuing my ninja adventures by playing Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360 version) this week. Since the original has such a fierce following and the remaster from this year was somewhat controversial I wanted to play it first to see how NG2B with the “White” mod holds up. It was a little more involved setting up emulation than NGB and Xemu, but it’s running well now albeit with minor graphical glitches. I actually for once kinda wish I had an Xbox Series X though for that native 4k60 HDR.
So far I’m enjoying myself. The highs of the game are really high, even compared to the first game: those frenetic massive hallway fights against hordes of aggressive ninjas are just pure adrenaline rushes and thrilling but stressful in the best way. While the combat in the first game was fast, it was still very measured and deliberate. This time it’s just pure coke-fuelled rabid frenzy.
The improved graphics, animations and gore also make the spectacle of combat heightened and the dismemberment mechanic is really fun and surprisingly strategic to play with.
Some enemies are just shit to fight though, like the dogs and the flying bat demons you have to take out with ranged attacks. Also the bosses have been very hit or miss. Genshin and the spider monster were fun but I was really close to quitting the game over Gigadeath between being one of the worst bosses in gaming and glitching out of the arena 25% of the time.
I’d really like to beat it but we’ll see how far I get.
Currently preparing for a Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous playthrough, but I might play something else before then.
I’m definitely not gonna make my own builds, nor am I interested in that, with the hundreds of feats and spells in the game, many of which are just traps and no real way to learn. So I’m going through a bunch of different guides, a lot of which are outdated, and am currently creating a spreadsheet for me to reference, so I don’t have to sift through different videos and websites, every time I level up or do some other stuff (like the Crusade mode). I did the same for my BG3 Honor Mode playthroughs, and it makes everything so much more convenient.
I’m playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Skyrim on OLED Switch.
And I’m thinking about trying BTOW again. I bought my Switch to play BOTW, but it just hasn’t been my game yet. BOTW makes me feel stupid/dumb when I play it, maybe it won’t on my next try?
BOTW is one of my all time favorite games. I hope you give it another chance. If it helps, there is no one right way to do things, so no need to feel stupid.
Am still playing They Are Billions, i think i still have a long way to go with the campaign, only about 15% in? Sometime the campaign take a looooooong time to complete because i have to wait till all the wave is completed, which take about 1 or 2 hours? Those kind of mission is sure a drag. It’s very enjoyable nonetheless. It makes me miss Warcraft rts so much.
