Anybody playing Ninja Gaiden 2 at all?

I haven't gotten the urge as much to throw my time into it after I picked up SC4 :P I still haven't touched Mission Mode since, and never touched Mentor. I do think the projectile spam is pretty annoying, but overall the game just gives visceral fun :D I'm going for the weapon master achievements on my immediate todo though. What's everyone's go-to? Mine's the Lunar, purely for being able to Drop out of the air. THAT saved my butt a lot of the time.
 
The thing about Ninja Gaiden 2 is that most other action games feel weak next to it. Also iirc Master Ninja mode has a glitch which allows you to get millions of karma with barely any effort. Anyone get the DLC Mission Mode?
 
I don't have the time to play it anymore with the release of Disgaea 3, Tales Of Vasperia, Infinite Undiscovery. So yeah SC4 has been placed down for about 2 months, lol.
 
the game is a defensive game.

Usually going on offence gets you raped.

Mostly on harder game modes but generally you block and wait for a opening.

You can't be a turtle about it, cuz as with a fighting game you WILL be thrown for it.

This doesn't really make sense...

Anyway, I like NGII way better than 1 and played the shit out of both of them. I'd say this game is about 400% more offensive than 1 or Black. Whereas you could just stand around blocking in the original the pace is much faster here and you will get punished with projectiles/throws/rockets etc. if you don't keep up with the frantic pace. That said, it's much more visceral and fun than the original and as long as you keep moving, attacking, and timing your invincibility frames it's still a tad easier than the original. Additionally, Master Ninja is way more fun than Mentor in my opinion since many projectile and rocket spammers are replaced with white ninjas which are much more fun to fight. Every weapon in this iteration is a force unto itself and the weapon challenges are a testament to that. If you liked the first there's no reason you shouldn't like this one save for a few glitches and poorly placed load points/spawn oddities.

Plus, when you get into higher difficulties passing Tests of Valor basically requires you to sever limbs with surgical precision to incapacitate without killing to make things managable.
Also iirc Master Ninja mode has a glitch which allows you to get millions of karma with barely any effort.

They fixed this and IIRC only some of the top 1-8 people actually used the cheat to upset the leaderboard considerably.
