Watched the video, looks pretty fast paced, but hopefully not too complex... i don't wanna press 8 buttons at the same time just to execute one combo... i tend to lose appetite with too complex games (played dmc4 for 2 hours then gave up)...

OT: Does anywhere selling the NGB in disc? I really want to play it but to download 6gig is pretty crazy, will probably take weeks thx to steeemyx...

I was thinking hiding the xbox under my desk in office, put there a few days probably can finish download ba There's no way i can download 6gig off xbox live at my home...

Watched more gameplay videos... im wondering how the heck ppl block off projectiles??? The camera wasnt showing when/where/how the enemies throwing shurikens, but the player managed to block them, saw the flashes at the edge of screen then press block in 0.2sec????? omg...

Lalala this game is f*ck fun! Warrior path is so f*ck fun that i feel hayabusa really lives up to his name - a bird waiting to be shot down Acolyte path is much less f*ck fun, but it is still f*ck fun, because i game over like 3-4 times already, and tat is just till chapter 2!

Um, one simple question, what is the conventional way to face a hoard of enemies (melee+short range+long range)... no matter which one i go at first i got my butt kicked hard... isn't there a more effective way to do this? Like which combo is more effective most fo the time? Or i should just try to look for a opening to execute UT?

This game is as annoying as cod4@veteran, if not more... every night i sleep with frustation and anger because of this 2 games...

Can ryu counter any sort of attack, weapon atk, melee atk, big monster atk, small monster atk, boss atk etc?

Damn those small animals like dogs and bats may look less threatening but i actually got killed by them...

Yes, there are two more harder difficulty after warrior.

I read that many people b****ing bout ng2 is easier than ngb.

As proceeding levels, holding block for more than 3s (or even less!!!) those stupid mofo will use throw move... wtf!

About counter... as long as the move is block-able, it means that it is counter-able?

You can use X to change filter, bro. Hehe i havent upload anything to leaderbaord yet, but i am sure i game over more than 30 times, and i'm only on acolyte, hahahahaaahahaha...

There are 14 chapters.

Well if you proceed further, it's not only the mofo wolf throwing boom shuriken... those claw ninjas throw tat also... gosh...

@ stanleyow
There is a chest above water where you can open then cut scene then boss fight. Nearby it there is underwater chest contains tons of essence...

I think the key of this game is keep moving, stand still while blocking will not work furthering in the chapters @ acolyte... if warrior setting, it wouldn't work at the beginning... dash slash dash slash dash obliterate dash ut...

Use bow & arrows.

Uh, those ng veterans really make cake walk out of this game... today my fren came to my house and saw me cursing the chapter 6 boss, he grabbed my controller and beat the boss in two tries, first time to familiarize with the button, second time he beat it without taking a hit and use any item/ninpo... crap... i feel so low.

The thing is the difficulty scales unbelievably as going chapter by chapter... i felt the maybe i should go warrior when i played at acolyte chapter 1, then around chapter 3-4, i felt maybe i better stick to acolyte, then chapter 7-8 i felt luckily i play acolyte, then now chapter 12 i felt why there is no easier difficulty... hehe

For chapter 3 boss, just stick to arrow. Shoot it from afar, make sure it hits the face. Don't take your chances, during charging arrow, if u see the thing starts attacking, dodge immediately. Position yourself nicely before charging arrow, make sure u r facing the thing. The small electric balls atk is easy to dodge, the fish atk u can ninpo or hit real fast and precise, the blue face atk just stick to the wall and jump around.

Yea of coz, you'll buy the weapon @ lvl1, then you'll be able to upgrade it.

Exploding shuriken, exploding arrows, macross-style missile launcher, teleporting ninja tat shoots 20 fireballs at a time, uh... sometimes i feel like if the lcd and controller are not expensive, i'll definitely smash them on each other...

Everybody please bow to my awesomeness! My first acolyte playthru nets 75 deaths! Muhahahaha! The 100 continue achievement is not far le, either one more time acolyte or 2 chapters of warrior

Argh and i freakin missed the DS weapon master achievement... must have accidentally killed some minions during boss fight, sob... i only used the scythe to slash 90% of boss hp then use back DS to finish them off...

Hehe i think half of my 75 game over happened during the last boss, 10+ times first stage, then about 20 times second stage Once you died enough times to learn how to dodge all its attacks, it'll be easy. Just don't rush it, try to learn how to anticipate and dodge first, then plan how to kick its butt.

There should be a bunch of tangos - more than 20 total @ acolyte, swarming from the staircase and you gotta kill them all before the cut scene is triggered. I don't know what triggers the enemy spawning, you can try reload the save, go back to the area again.

Actually i also went up to bust those archers, but in my case, the additional enemies spawned right away and coming down from the stairs, and some from the houses...

Argh, i missed valor 6, omg... now i have to play the third time... but luckily till chapter 8 only...

I looked thru the leaderboards, there are quite a lot of players with 0 death, some even at mentor and master... well, more shockingly, i saw some with >300 deaths

Haha i already got all the achievement that i'm capable of... warrior/mentor/master would only make me break my lcd ... weapon master is like not worth the time

Just curios, any master ninja here?

Genshin is pretty easy when you memorized his number of attack. Some of his combos does 3 attacks, some 5, some only one unblockable atk, so anticipate when he is going stop and block (or side step if it's unblocable) then unleash hell on it, but don't do too long combo, as he recovers quite fast.

Some people even defeated him using projectiles + ninpo... i heard exploding shuriken will stick and take large chunk of his life if you fire during his long combo.

Haha i saw my fren playing in master ninja, the bosses are sicked. One carelessness will easily cost half your life, or if unlucky, one grab move from bosses will take like 90% of a full hp...

Oh and those rocket ninjas that do macross-style-30-missiles-attack-every-5-sec, they are down right cheap... eating a chain attack up close will only mean game over.
