Good god.....the reviews are horrible for Yaiba. My worst fears realized......the game just continues to drag the Ninja Gaiden name in the mud at precisely the time when Team Ninja needed to recover from all the bad energy still surrounding NG3. What the hell were they thinking attaching NG to this game?
Team Ninja better announce some new exciting next-gen projects soon (Ni-Oh, NG4, etc.) to get some positive press, because they are about to get shit on even more with Yaiba now.....

Just give us fkn NG4 already ;d
I remember how TN said In an Q/A that Ryu wasn't here to be a hero. and then I just saw that scene and I don't think they have any idea was going on in this game. Well unlike NG3 which showed some impressive new feats and abilities this one essentially nerfed him to make him beatable so I can ignore it. I'm disappointed but not really surprised. so meh
My friend was really looking forwad to this however so I bought him a gift card to get it for his birthday. seeing the poor quality of this game I'm going to try and convince him to not get this or wait for the price to drop. if I can't than I'll but that Synphonia Chronicles game for if he needs a rebound game and I want to play it too.

Looks like the game bombed bad. I'm not one for negativity until hands on with the game, but looks like the game turned out even worse than NG3.
On a interesting note, Famitsu gave this game 9/9/9/9 to a total of 36. But then again they gave NG3 a 36 while NGB and NGII got 34. Guess we know where KT spent their development money on.
Also, the game apparently has no jumping. A NG game with NO FUCKING JUMP button. What the fuck? Hayashi is just digging farther and farther into the shitter.
What pressure? Most people consider the franchise dead after Itagaki leaving.

Apparently, people are saying that the two franchise killers (Inafune with DmC and Hayashi with NG3) working together was bound for failure.
Disappointing to hear either way. I expected something better with Inafune on the helm, but I guess it can't be saved from Spark Unlimited's craptasticness.
This game was always going to have polarizing reviews. A lot of the shared criticisms I would also likely find bothersome, though, so I guess we'll see what happens when I play it. I will still try it. I think RE undid a lot of the damage done by NG3 but having the Ninja Gaiden name on this title was a bad idea from the start (and I've said so from the start) whether the game ended up being incredible or poor.

Well, I don't personally believe that. I think Team Ninja can still make great games and Razor's Edge went a long way in restoring my faith. BUT.....now with this apparent disaster that is Yaiba it just further feeds the narrative that the Hayashi-led TN is crap, which is really a shame.
So I was a bit late he already bought the game and now were playing it, so far having fun. also game is pretty fucking hard and were playing it on normal O_O

Oh my... I just read some reviews of Yaiba. I really don't care about this game, but still, I hoped it will show the new team ninja's potential of making good games by their own.
Suddenly, I'm afraid again about the next DOA game, like I was two years ago.
Anyway, I feel sad for Team Ninja. After the failure of NG3 and the lukewarm reaction of the press with DOA5 and Metroid, I guess it's another hard time for them. I'm afraid they are going to lose all credibility.

Development was not handled by Team NINJA directly. They assisted with various parts of development but the majority was completed by Spark.

Thanks. I didn't know. I feel a little better.
But I feel it's going to be the Team Ninja's name that will be dragged through the mud.
No doubt about that, however that was going to happen anyway. The last several years have given rise to incredibly annoying trends with fanboys and current social media gives them all fucking megaphones. Don't feel like going too far into it but this game is just the latest punching bag. DmC last year got similarly unfair treatment from people who were never going to even try, Xbox One in general, Sony's lack of games for PS4, no backwards compatibility for current consoles...anything that people can use as fuel gets attacked mercilessly online and then you get to listen to people parrot the bullshit everywhere before long.
The gaming industry is in a sorry state and it's not likely to ever get better.
