Terrible gameplay

[kaworu83]

My hype just died and went six hundred feet under after watching the gameplay trailer:

The mob AI is null, they just stand waiting in line to be killed but what's worse is the terrible sounds effects: the enemies voice overs the screams and the same lines over and over again, it's awful!

Maybe it could be fun if you play the game without sound?

Your gripe is pretty inconsistent do you hate the sfx, and voice lines? Because if so that has crap to do with the actual gameplay. Which is surprisingly fluid looking in movement, for all we know this could just be a difficulty slider thing.

sfx is very important, it can make a move feel impactful or weak. DS is a good example of nice sfx.

voice is optional, but adding quality voice always improve the game

gameplay is AMAZING! A VERY VIOLENT NINJA GAME FOR NINJAS LIKE ME THE SHREDDER! CANT WAIT!

Agreed. Played Ninja Gaiden 3 Razer's Edge a month ago. The difference is night and day.
Still needs a lot of work.

it was obvious honestly. idk why you guys were hyped for this considering they only showed cut footage of finishers.

there are two reasons devs do this. either the core gameplay sucks or they still have nothing but this vertical slice to show for it.

even compared to ninja gaiden this looks subpar, to say the least.

Oh, no. Man, the game's style and the Steam trailer got me excited, but that does look really slow and easy/braindead :( Pretty much the exact opposite of what I was expecting from people who worked on Ninja Gaiden. I hope they improve it before release, but I'll have to be wary of this one and wait for reviews.

I am with the op on this. I was rather excited for this game but that evaporated watching literally 15 minutes of the gameplay video.

To begin with, the combat seems very bare bones. Yes I know this isn't the usual cover shooter and you have to take risks in middle of mobs to execute actions, but the basic move set is really..basic. I can't say if more swordplay and moves will be revealed as the game progresses but seems doubtful. Please do something about the unorthodox grunt enemy sounds. It was irritating to hear "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH" after literally every 5-6 seconds. Add more variety to the sound effect at least.. Yeah the AI is basic as hell but that also dials back to my first complaint - a rather plain looking move set. Also, where's the weapon variety? The entire game play is more akin to cinematic action flick.

All that being said, execution animations look good and execution moves seem to have some variety too.

In all honesty, the game looks rough and rather stale from gameplay standpoint. I am not sure if the devs would add more to the gameplay to make it less brain dead and more exciting - considering we are not that far from the release date. If I have to compare, this isn't even on par with Devil's Third that, despite being a bad game, at least had good melee move sets. Of course, it would be downright unfair to compare this game to Ninja Gaiden because the difference is day and night in terms of gameplay variety and complexity.

Latest gameplay came out:

There seems to be a lot of improvements but I really can't stand the moaning most mobs do when killed, it's way over the top and too frequent! I really hope you can turn off the moaning volume down or completely off.
Maybe this is only an issue with english VO and it will not be so off putting with japanese voices? I hope so.

The screaming sounds hilarious to me lol

[SHREDDER]

They will scream much more when i brutally kill them! cant wait!

[Bankai9212]

Seeing the footage, it’s rough not sure what other “upgrades” but unlocking charge attack, grenades. Somehow vanquish had more going for it then this and that never got a sequel.

[ProVegaGamer]

I think it looks really good and fun. Just a AA title , hopefully the price is 39.99. anything high, i will passed. But it looks fun and I'm a sucker for non AAA titles.

Agree my expectation is dwindling as i am watching and observing its gameplay videos. Initially I thought this game has 85% being good, but now It seems 50% chance, either be good or not..
