Re: Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 scans! multiplatform!

Old games aren't valid choices for a "best of" list? I think not. Some of my favorite video games of all time are quite old.

Gauntlet? Old.
Wasteland? Old.
Grim Fandango? Old.
Archon? Old.

You know what's not on my list? Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm. Would I play any/all of the above listed games before I put my copy of N:UNS back in my PS3? You better believe it.

Look, there's nothing wrong with being a mega-fan. There's nothing wrong with enthusiasm. But don't let it blind you. Ultimate Ninja Storm is a "good" game. It's got GREAT visuals (I actually think the game looks BETTER than the original series art, which is quite an achievement), some very solid gameplay at times, and pretty good audio design. Free roaming in the village is fun and interesting. Boss fights are pretty fun.

It also has a lot of flaws. Rehashed story arc that's been covered by every other Naruto game ever made? Check. Horrible game balance between characters? Check. Lame attempt at RPG-Lite gameplay in Story mode? Check. Tons of weak and uninspired minigames? Check. Not enough back story to fill in non-die-hard fans on what's going on, or who everyone is? Check.

So no, it's not one of the best games ever. But that doesn't mean it's not worth owning, and it doesn't mean it's not worth playing. It does do the most important elements right, and there's plenty of fanservice to go around, and for that I give it credit.

I look forward to owning UNS2 whenever it gets released.

ah you still don't get it. Whether a game is one of the best games ever not does not revolve around solely your personal opinion.

It depends on the person and how much passion they have for a certain game. No one can deny how someone else feels about a game, if it's the best game ever to them, then they are right in their case. People can't say that is not so just because they don't share the same taste or level of passion for whatever that game is. Someone can see something as negative, and someone else can see the same thing as positive. So it's really opinion based what people think is right or wrong about a game.


and yes I know Storm 2 will be surpassed eventually, but the current best game ever people would play over anything else, is always and always has been a personal choice. UNS1 not being in your top 100 does not change the fact many people have UNS1 as their top favorite best game, or top 10, etc.


yay new interview! ^-^

well um, well I was just expressing an opinion about UNS2. Exaggerated? maybe. But it'll still be fun.

So let's hear you give some reasons why you think UNS1 is one of the best games ever. I've said my piece. I own the game - I bought it on release day, so it's not like I'm being negative about it.

If you really think good or bad game design is entirely subjective, Daikatana would like a word with you.

The word you're looking for is "favorite"

As Armando pointed out, you seem to be confusing "best" with "favorite". Just because a game is your "favorite" game, it doesn't make that game the "best" ever. Hell, it doesn't even make that game good. For instance, as a massive Transformers fan, I loved the RotF video game. It was a terrible game when you really look at it, but I really enjoyed playing it. Especially the Multiplayer as I played that daily for months straight, where I never really played any console MP game before at all. But just because it's one of my "favorite" games, it doesn't make that game the "best" of anything. Hell, the game itself was pretty terrible to be honest. But it's still one of my favorites.

And while War For Cybertron looks to be the best Transformers game ever, despite being a huge fan I still know it's only going to see mediocre success in the main stream gaming circles, at most just enough to warrant a sequel or two. I also know most people really don't care about the game so I usually stick around those that do when I choose to discuss it. Because while it might be the best Transformers game, and most likely a very good game in it's own right, it will *never* be the "best game ever".

okay okay maybe favorite fits better. But people can substitute it with best if they mean their personal favorite they feel is the best game they played or will play. It's natural to feel positive about something.

anyways this is UNS1 but it's a nice example of advanced techniques:

It's natural to feel positive about something.

There's nothing natural about the way you feel about games around here.

Re: Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 scans! multiplatform!

I saw that the AI was clearly set to easy and that there are QTEs...in a god damn fighting game. Simply shameful. I can also nitpick about the programmed banter being a miserable failure by the design team, seeing as how the banter that's used is completely out of sequence with the chronology.

Is this game still in in-house testing or are they seriously considering releasing this crap soon?

there is no written rule to how a fighting game should play, unless you follow the book of street fighter like a religion. >.>
