What was the message being pushed in NG3? I watched a couple videos when it was first announced but it just looked like more of the same, never thought it would get bad-medicore reviews so just skipped it.
I like the direction of NGZ, does not look like it is going to take itself too seriously.
The message was "You as the player should feel bad for your actions, feel bad for Ryu, and feel bad for Ryu's actions." That was literally what the entire game played on. Lots of action-breaking slowmotion sequences mid-game to exemplify that Ryu was "murdering" people and shit. It's suppose to be a fucking game, not a community college course in bullshit.
Also, the game (without DLC) didn't actually have weapons. Dragon Sword was the only weapon. They also removed the ability to play as the other characters that came to fruition in Ninja Gaiden 2.
I sit here and tell myself that there's no way they could be so stupid as to actually have thought they were taking Ninja Gaiden in a "good direction" but were instead intentionally planning to cornhole people over DLC and a re-release version on an entirely different video game console. At least if they're money grubbing and evil, there's a chance of them changing their ways. If the majority of their team is just legitimately missing brain stems, there's really no where else to go but down.
(For another comparison, a full walkthrough of Ninja Gaiden Black on Gamefaqs is a 903Kb text file. A full walkthrough of Ninja Gaiden 3 is only 71Kb)
... And, "home consoles" cancels out NG3ds (which has been anounced but not shown). Hm, I will check back here to see what it is.
