Razor's Edge is good. At least from playing that I can see that they still understand something of what it means to be a Ninja Gaiden game. I don't think anyone can play that game on hard and tell me that's not brilliant combat.

I stand corrected lol. But again yes, i'd say the guy deserves one more chance...i played NG3 and could not even finish that piece of shit. I played NGRE and actually was not only able to finish it, but even enjoy some parts. So that means the next game i'll be able to consider it an actual decent game!
It's not brilliant combat. It's watered down, unbalanced, laggy, and far too dependent on the Steel-on-Bone mechanic.
It's leagues better than vanilla NG3, but NG3 was utter shit.

She's both. It's just that she really has a presence in NG as well, unlike some other characters. Not saying she comes from NG though.
NG3 was horrible, but RE was sort of good (story mode was still bad despite the fixes, and online is still useless). No need to reboot the series yet, since they've seemingly understood what went wrong with 3.
If the next one is shit though, it obviously needs a reboot. It's just that despite the problems, Ryu will stay the face of NG, like Lara Croft for Tomb Raider, Samus for Metroid, Classic Dante for DMC, Snake/Big Boss for MGS, etc.
We've seen how well DmC went, and how a MGS starring Raiden would go...
I can.
It's hamstringed by trying to shoehorn in mechanics from NG2 into a game not designed to have them.
Game is average at best.

I had never seen that before (never played ultimate). Just YouTubed it. Makes me want a Hayate Ninja Gaiden even moreso than before. Definitely wouldn't call Hayate a bum for that. Naïve? Maybe. Bum? No.

You can't set up music for specific stages.
You mean my no.1 game of all time for over a decade and counting?
And the character ending up as a badass cyborg Ninja with his own character action game?
Wouldn't be so bad

Yeah...don't get the Raiden comparison. MGS2 and MGR are both amazing games, lol.

Rising is the best 3D action brawler I've played. Hope they do MGR2.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority did not agree with you on the character choice and people wanted to play as Snake...who returned in MGS3 (yeah, yeah, Big Boss...it's Snake.
) and has been the main character ever since. But now Raiden has his own game so it's all good.

I love MGR, but this is a spinoff, that's my point.
I think MGS2 is inferior to the other ones, despite being a really good game, sorry, opinions. Also, remember the reaction of Raiden starring back then.
The fastest way I've found to unlock costumes is to play time trial tag on rookie difficulty. You unlock costumes for both characters about every 3 minutes.
This is definitely true. You can tell they were trying to polish something that came from a bad place. You could not even originally use anything besides the sword in the original NG3 and it had no upgrades, they only thought to add 2 or 3 more copy pasted weapons from NG2 in later. The game is super average. It just so happens that average is such a jump from being absolutely garbage that it looks really good by comparison to the original
How do you even do those, I never have learned how? I'm assuming those are the special moves that kinda go in slo mo and take a ton of damage?

Just checked the Eu PSn Store ..
I really can't count the number of times SCEE did something bad on release those days..
it's getting ridiculous

Critical bursts are all listed at the character select screen. You perform them when the notification of critical stun turns red. The following stun allows you do do a power blow (the move you're talking about), or pretty much whatever you want.
I really don't understand what "STAGE/CHARACTER" option is about under Music then.
When you're at the character select screen it shows how to do it.

It's the origin of how Misty got kidnapped by doatec after she beat the shit outta her uncle.

You choose what music you want to hear when playing.
Either the predefined stages music, or the theme of the character you're facing (or yours in specific modes).

It has been like this since the very release of DoA5. I know because I was always checking DLC or some other stuff. It's a disgrace, and what I want to know is - is it like this for all games? Does every company have this issue with getting their games and DLC on the EU PSN? Or is it that TN is submitting things too late or something. Do the PSN EU people just have a hatred for this game or something? They literally NEVER get it right.

GAF Lobby will be on ps4 later today. Hope to see some more people.
It's pretty ridiculous, where's all the costume dlc and the full digital game SCEE?

Even though it does happen a fucking LOT with TN/Koei stuff, I think they do fuck up a lot in general. They're just incompetent.

With how utter SHIT SCEE is, particularly when it comes to one of the main game I play and my favourite series on the system, it's no wonder I refuse to pay for PS+. Diabolical behaviour.
May just go US PSN for it then if this is common with TN/SCEE. Luckily I don't have any paid DLC to lock me to the UK.

There are issues on Xbox One as well. Koei Tecmo can blame Sony and MS all they want, but they could've sorted this all out before release. Still waiting so I can transfer my DLC. But at least I can play the full game, I feel for PS4 gamers eager to play it.
I also like this post on their Facebook page:

A number of tecmo, xseed and sega games seems to be cursed.....
Or SCEE just doest care because those arent AAA games.
Incompétence or lazyness ..... or my bet is on both

This thread needs more screenshots and gifs. Because I can't play the game yet
The US PSN store is very well done in this game, theres a ton of filters of costumes, characters, gender...
The EU version is a mess, and not only for the lack of items.
Hmm. I really just want to buy the "full game" but all this DLC is confusing as hell.
If I buy story mode can I still only see the story for the characters I've paid for?
What's the deal with the Honoka pack, it looks like you can buy her and her costumes are two separate downloads for £30 less.
No bundle pack for the guys?
Just let me pay £40 already and give me a normal game!

Story mode is story mode. You buy it, you get the full story mode.
EU PSN Store still allows filtering if you access through the game. Haven't looked without being in the game, though, so I can imagine it's a crock of shite.
Edit: There is some filtering in the store from not being in-game; just not as much as in-game store.

Well, the "full" game gets you pretty much the base game with all the characters, minus all the more recent Doa5 Ultimate DLCs (which you should be able to buy, if they ever manage to put it up on the current gen stores) and DLC that has been newly released, like the mentioned Honoka outfits and the Season Pass. All this navigating through DLC is currently a bitch on the Xbone, they just should have included everything that was ever available in Ultimate from the get go.
Concerning story mode, I believe it should give you the complete story, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. If you buy the full game, DO NOT buy story mode separately since it is included.
ah yes, my mistake. Getting into the store in-game gives you similar results to the US store.
Its just that theres a shit ton of stuff missing.
That's still the core fighters edition not the digital version of the retail version.
When releases the 34,95€ version?
seems only eurogamer report it http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...e-5-last-round-launches-with-plenty-of-issues

Yeah, I have no idea when they are going up. Typical shit for TN games in Europe as usual.

I was just about to comment on this. They lost my impulse purchase on Ultimate in a similar way (that also had digital release problems that delayed it I think), and they will now too.
