This or Sigma 2 (master collection)

[oBieL]

I can't play the original Xbox 360 version, but I have the Master Collection, I would like to know if it's worth buying Black 2 or is it better to play Sigma 2 with Black Mod.

(English from google translate, sorry)

If you play on hard mode in the latter, your ass will turn inside out.

And that wasn't a suggestion to go play it.

Sigma 2 Black mod. 100%.

If your PC can run it then buy Ninja Gaiden 2 Black. If your PC can't run Ninja Gaiden 2 Black then get the Master Collection because you can definitely run Sigma 2 and you get Sigma 1 and Razor's Edge as well. Plus there's more mods for Sigma 2 like the one that restores the blood. There will eventually come more mods to the new Ninja Gaiden 2 Black tho.

Sigma 2 Black is an incredible experience, with enemy counts that surpass even the original 360 game at times.

It's ridiculously difficult on the higher difficulties.

Agreed, however if Fiendbusa's work ever gets ported over to this it will become the superior experience for me

2 Black is a couple of days away from an enemy spawn mod, per FiendBusa:

2 Black is the way to go in my opinion. The base game is better than 2 Sigma since it fixes the shop system, has some improved encounters by default, includes gore, etc., and the modding scene is going to be great for it since it's running on top of Sigma 2 so existing mods will seemingly be fairly easy to port. We already have releases to remove weapons from your back, improve performance, etc.

2 Black ruins Tonfas and Lunar for me. They hardly produce enough blood in this version whereas in the original and Sigma 2 mod you can summon rains of blood with these weapons.

Also I have no idea why devs decided to throw so many dogs at you in 2 black, they are the most anti-fun enemy in the game.

Make sure the game is only running at 60fps and that you apply the DPI settings fix! Dogs are so easy to deal with, it's great, we should never change this game and nothing is wrong.

Get either this or Sigma 2 on PC heavily modded.

Do not play vanilla Sigma 2.
