How is it hard to understand? More special moves = more choices. UN2 and UN3 had additional effects with moves on top of the variable damage. I never used only one move...maybe you did.desu said:
I gave them a chance with the first game. Sorry for expecting more from CC2 in their second try at a next gen Naruto game.

Man, on so many those those I was like "Oh snap!". Then I see the opponent stand up after and I cry a little inside. I know they couldn't have all these moves kill (because most all of them would) but I wished there were some special cases for some (Hidan's death ritual especially).
Really?Crewnh said:
It's not enough that the team have done a great job with the animation for story events, tonnes more characters and adding in the team dynamic with the supers?
Personally I'd rather see a bit more meat to the fundamental combat. The clearly have the gimmicky super stuff down just fine already.

Actually, they had "tons more characters" even before, so yeah, kinda disappointed about the limited ougi (felt like they just ported the PSP's system XD).
Then again, I'm comparing this to the Narutimate Hero series.

I got no confirmation of my order. At gameplay.co.uk stands only that they're preparing my order for despatch. But they cancelled the order of a good friend. She ordered the Limited Edition, too.OneMoreQuestion said:
What sort of adventure mode is there? I know most of you hated the UBISOFT Montréal's games but I'm sort of sad they abandoned or lost the rights to do the games. No question that Cyberconnect2 had art and animation perfected, but I really liked the deeper fighting exploring and doing missions of Rise of a Ninja and Broken bond.
Edit: hmm there is an adventure mode. Reading up on it.
Edit2: and its not very deep. :\ I'll still get it. but missed opportunity.

Eh, so NUNS2 surpasses its previous game in almost every aspect but gets a lower score :lol ?
Anyway reading:
made me wonder if he even played the game at all and if I would read the same complaint on Street Fighter games as well. Anyway you dont need to play a second of story mode to unlock all the characters, just get some storm points and unlock them in versus/online, I would assume someone who has played this game for a few minutes would know this ...

So basically he said "I'm not so much into fighters, I don't really know much about them and even less for this series. But its all so shiny and pretty...let me try and give this game a review anyway."
Does anyone ever peer review anything?

Actually, a ton of people complained about having to unlock characters in Street Fighter 4. That's why in SSF4 everyone's unlocked from the start.
I'm with him on that. Being forced to unlock the characters you want to play as in fighting games always sucks and needs to go away for good.

It is extremely illogical for a competitive 1 vs 1 fighting game that has an online mode to force people to play for hours in order to unlock characters. The amount of people who would complain would be a fraction of the amount of people who would be extremely relieved. One or two secret characters needed to be unlocked or something of the sort is fine. But you should start with 10-15 characters of a 30-40 character roster, it's just silly.

Marvel vs. Cacpcom 2 XBLA/PSN says otherwise.desu said:
GODDAMN what the hell is this garbage? You're not into the anime, AND you're not into fighters, but you like it because its pretty, easy to mash buttons and feel like you're accomplishing something?
Why is stuff like this able to be put on a professional site? How are you going to have someone who completely discredits himself from describing the story from the "well-fleshed out Adventure Mode" and makes himself sound like an idiot for even mentioning that its a game that "any fighting game enthusiast should consider"? GTFOOH.

Why the hell are you people going crazy over that review? The writer comes from a different perspective (a completely legitimate perspective) and is transparent about it.mr jones said:
Would you really have it the other way where people write reviews from the perspective of the genre's fan and not from their own perspective (and yes, your own perspective is the only one you can really write about with any sense of credibility)? You people are being silly.
Out of the review:
"No one wants to buy a fighting game, invite their friends over, and then realize they need to play hours of a story mode just to get their favorite characters. Still, this is a fun fighter, even if you dont really care for the subject matter."
What??!! Really, That's my main complaint on many fighting games of today. If you gives us all everything from the beginning what is gonna get me to play adventure mode or finish the game for the endings etc. I love unlockables from fighting games it adds to their longevity. SSFIV doesn't count here because it is a sort of expansion, but for an original game to give you everything there is from the get go...That's just bad and just boring. I love spending time unlocking all the stuff, then when I play vs seriously I know the game and can have lots of more fun.

Seriously, that review pretty much sold me on the game.
The direction he came from was pretty much what I am, I am not really hardcore into fighters, nor have I really followed Naruto in a good 4 years or so, but the game did look visually appealing and apparently according to the review it does have decent gameplay to go with it. Also his minus of having to unlock stuff is pretty much a plus for me since I enjoy having a carrot on a stick in most my games.
My first Ultimate Ninja game and i have to say i'm really enjoying it. Just got to chapter 2 and i love the way how they're telling the story, haven't missed much out, in fact had fights i didn't expect
and only a few non-story missions. The fight system is interesting, haven't played online or against another human yet but it seem like spacing is one of the most important aspects of it.
One question regarding Substitution Jutsu: Can you Sub out of any hit or is it only specific hits during a combo?

Don't make me avatar quote myself.
For a game that old, they better be unlocked. Whatever happened to entering long codes to unlock everything?

If it's like the narutimate hero series, it's timed. Essentially if you hit block at the same moment as you get hit, you use substitution.
Maaseru said:
If you're that interested in the story, wouldn't getting to see the cutscenes/story be enough reward for you to play the story?
If I want to jump online and play Minato vs. 8-tails, I should be able to. If I want to see WHY Minato is in the game, I'll play the story mode.
Reknoc said:
Yep. If they want unlockables in this game, make outfits or something unlockable. Unfortunately, things like that are now relegated to DLC. /sigh
FinKL said:I like how you can see this person and opponent spam block like no other so they can teleport behind each other
Early indication of what to expect online
this is the core of the gameplay. the fighting system is based on the timing of your button presses. matching your block with your opponent's attack will cause the teleport to happen. it just doesn't happen automagically and if you believe that, you're going to get owned by more experienced players. if you're used to fighting your opponent, there will be a shit tonne of teleportation in the match, again, core aspect of the gameplay. you need to vary the timing of your button presses to throw your opponent off and continue your combo. you don't always have to do teleportation either, some characters like choji benefit more from general blocking because of slow attacks.
much depth to the series, some videos i made from the ps2 games

zlatko said:I haven't seen an in depth look at the online for this game. Makes me worried it'll be tacked on/laggy/buggy/boring/etc.
Anyone able to remedy this for me?
It's ok. Interface is similar to Street Fighter IV vanilla, with characters getting points to rank up and customizable title/image. From what I played yesterday lag is not too bad, the inputs take slightly longer to register than in off-line mode at times but it's playable. That might not be true when the game is actually out worldwide, but it should be fun to play with friends anyway.
