Ninja Gaiden Update
 

Well for everyone who ever doubed the combination of Xbox Live and a hard drive, check this out:

Not only is Ninja Gaiden a sick game straight out of the box, but now Team Ninja is releasing upgrades to the camera, engine and adding new enemies and weapons all over Xbox Live. I found this quote about the new engine to especially amusing:


Ninja Gaiden v1.1 will be released in August, and I for one am exstatic. As good as that game is, you can always use more replayability.

No, that sound is the sound of me laughing at the thought of Microsoft continually trying to say the Xbox isn't a PC when they go ahead and allow somebody to blatantly call an update to a game version "1.1."

Seriously. I'm not saying it's a bad thing that they're releasing an update (though I do think they should have done it right the first time). I just think the philosophy behind it is a little warped.

Oh Die already it's not a pc. It's just got all the stuff PS2 didn't want to add. PS2 is a pc too the only true gaming console I've seen is the GC because it sucks

I wonder if CamFuBot is hosted in Germany...

True dat.

Ace, sorry if you hate the Gamecube. You could support your claims that it sucks though.

Anybody that understands irony can see it here. Both with the Microsoft situation and with your post. First you blatantly say that it's not a PC:

And then you turn around and say that it is a PC but PS2 is as well:

As to PS2 being a PC, I really haven't seen much of anything that would make me call it a PC. What exactly makes you think it's like a PC?

Let's keep this thread simple and to the point. ABOUT THE NINJA GAIDEN UPDATE

which btw sounds pretty cool. Make it tougher, faster, with a better camera and more enemies

Re: Ninja Gaiden Update
 

You know, people keep on criticizing the Xbox by saying that its a PC, yet I have yet to see one example of how incorporating some PC architecture into a console has done anything but make the Xbox a better console.

Mariolover, you say that it's "warped". Please explain how the philosophy of adding extra content to already great games is a bad thing.

Re: Ninja Gaiden Update
 

This is how online game updates should be...

Back in the day everyone was like "Online and hard drive? That means developers will release crap-ass retail versions at first, then eventually make them better with patches!"... But no, Ninja Gaiden is supposed to be awesome to begin with, and they're using a patch to keep things fresh and improve the game further...

How is that bad? Even if it's like a PC, how is improving things in an already good game and mixing it up a bit to keep things fresh bad in any way, shape, or form?

Re: Ninja Gaiden Update
 

What problem do you have with the xbox being a PC???

The PC obivosly has good pionts to add to the gaming field why not add that technolgy to the consuls and make the gaming experience better. Then to just produce the same thing over and over. This is a great ideal for consuls now oyu can play your games over and over and when you get bored ohh look new content. Or they could do what metal gear soild did and make a good game them remake the game with added content a few months later and still charge $60 for it.

As for calling the version 1.1 so what if you look at a ps2 youll see version numbers of the dvd drivers ect. Im sure somewere in the GC youll see a version number its standard what do you want them to call it version "Im my eyes not as good because its not nintendo" get over it. :mad: end rant

its good that they adding new content to the game although I probly wont pick up xbox live just for the added content.

Re: Ninja Gaiden Update
 

Wow. You guys totally twisted my posts.

I specifically said:

"I'm not saying it's a bad thing that they're releasing an update..."

And I wasn't saying it was bad that they were incorperating PC aspects into the Xbox. I'm saying that Microsoft's claims are humorous to me.

I think the "get it out now fix it later" philosophy is something that hasn't been a problem on consoles before. I really just don't respect that idealism. As for it being a great game, I bought it the day it came out. And I wanted to cry when I actually got it out and played it.

I don't like the game; sue me. I thought it was one of the most over-hyped games I've ever played. Surely my biggest disappointment on the Xbox. Not that it's an aweful game. It was just a huge letdown for me. I can see why others enjoyed it. But it wasn't my game, and it felt unpolished.

At any rate, I obviously don't hold the majority when it comes to my opinion of the game. But I have an opinion, and I've backed it up.

No problem. No problem at all. I just didn't want to buy the Xbox PC when it came out because at the time I could have bought a better PC with a Monitor for maybe $400. I waited and got one used for $100 with some games.

As for me being on a "not as good because it's not Nintendo" rant, I don't think that I was. It's so funny when flame replies come, because that's when the true fanboys show themselves.

Please read my posts before getting mad at me.

Im srry you fell that way but I dont think we did

But then you stated that


And what I dont get is were in the article that you got they were fixing problems with the game. All there doing is add EXTRA content as well as some new weapons and new enimes.

What claims???? The FACT that they ARE adding new content

Again there not fixing problems but merely adding to what is an already finished game. Like adding whip topping to banana split. This is the kind of thing that gamers scream out for!!! Adding content instead of remaking it and charging an arm and a leg for numersous addons that are basicly the same thing.

I remeber when Metal Gear Solid 2 came out for ps2. It was a great game and right when I beat it, bam there Meatal Gear Solid 2 substance and they wanted me to drop $60 just for some crappy added content that would have been nice to have but not worth pushing back the release date a great deal of time or charging me $60 for.

thats fine if you would have said that in the orginal post I would not have had a problem with it, but you dident the first thing you did was knock microsoft, and for what because the game was too hard for you or not your type of game.

Its not my type of game either but the facts are that it is hard and it does make you want to give up and break the first thing you see, but for me hating it sooo much it still calls to me and makes me want to play. In my eyes anygame that can piss me off and still make me wanting more is a damn good game.

Its not that you dont hold the majority its that your overlooking the facts. That the game was half decent and people like it. Instead of milking us gamers for every pennie we have. They award us for buying the game. They said you guys got this game lets not make them pay for another lets make some new weapons and some new added features and give them to the gamers for free(minus the price of xbox live in witch is a good price because it allows you to play multiple game online on good servers) for the gamers who like this game and want to continue playing the game without getting bored.

I read your posts and the fact is Ive gotten from every one that you dont like Microsoft and that like Nintendo and stand behind them though thick and thin. Witch isnt a bad thing that you like nintendo but when you start closing your eyes to the fact that another company is doing something good for the world of gaming and setting newer higher standers for gameing and dis them for that thats being a fanboy.

I kinda have to agree with Hero on this one.... :cool:

Re: Ninja Gaiden Update
 

Um...correct me if I'm wrong, but they arent "fixing" anything are they? They are simply taking something perfect and adding more perfect things onto it. They think "we gave them an awesome game, now lets give them a reason to play it again after they beat it." It's like adding an super hard mode onto the game. I dont think they were in the mindset of "lets put this out now, then fix it with online updates".

Yeah, I agree with Hero also. :\

Re: Ninja Gaiden Update
 

AHHH, Vampyr and Hero are wrong about them not fixing anything. They are fixing the camera after people complained about it. So its not just all added content.

Thats how I feel quite often but I don't bow down to peer pressure:D (no implying to anything)
