Ninja Gaiden vs. DMC3

I suck at all these semi-fixed camera 3D action games. I'm gonna go with God of War because it caters to my gaming ego by being so fucking simple.

Or: DW5 FOR THE WIN!

Action Game of All Time belongs to a true ninja, not to some pansy arse metrosexual. Button mashfest angry man in God of War need not apply.
 
i can see people making cases for Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry 3, or even Resident Evil 4...

but why do people even bother to mention average games like God Of War in threads like this?

this isn't a 'game of the week' thread...

Bitches please!!
 
ninja gaiden: black

but i've only spent a short time with DMC3. What i saw in dmc1 pretty much convinced me that the series is not for me (save system)
 
Although Ninja Gaiden is definitely one of my favorite action games of this generation, for the sake of this thread, I will say DMC 3. Only because I played through it more times than I did NG. Also, I liked the combat better in DMC 3. Other than that, I am sure that we can all agree that they are both brilliant games.
 
dmc3. then ninja gaiden. then zoe2.

i think we should shunt god of war off to the "action-adventure" category with mediocre time-wasters like zelda and metroid. :(

I LOVE you!

Oh and uh, Devil May Cry 3.

Both Ninja Gaiden and DMC3 have amazing action (although DMC3's is more free-form, twitch based, and more varied), you have to remember there are other elements to a game, like story and replay value.

You can argue that maybe DMC3 had better action, or NG did--but when it comes to characters, cutscenes and stories, DMC3 wins hands down. It's more of a complete experience.

In the end however, I can say those who love one, yet distate the others are fuckin transparent as fuck fanboys (coughIjoelcough). Their both cool games that need to be experienced. I mean c'mon guys, what the fuck--we got two high production valued action games that deserve to break 1 million yet haven't? That's bullshit, support games like these or easy as fuck -can be beaten in 3 hours type games is all we'll get next-generation.

exactly in what part of pressing X and triangle repeatedly does 'adventure' fit into God of War?
 
i thought "action-adventure" was a catch-all for poor action games breathlessly praised for their "atmosphere" and "immersion" rather than their actual, indefensible gameplay. my bad. :(

it has slightly more complex puzzles than DMC or NG. And a more epic story than NG (although i can't speak for DMC.)

edit// biggest problem with god of war is it needed about 10 more hours of gameplay, more boss fights and a bigger focus on puzzles and exploration/hidden stuff, because that was it's strong point. Still a great game though. 9.5+
 
DMC3 is the deeper action game. God of War is the best overall product. Ninja Gaiden felt too repetitive. It almost forces you to do the same attacks over and over. RE4 isnt even in the running IMO. It was boring as shit.
 
yeah, god of war kinda fails as an action game, but the whole pandora's temple sequence is what zelda should be. really amazing how that came together.

God of War's story epic?

Just because it involves greek mythology doesn't all of a sudden make it epic.

AFAIK, God of War involves the generic rage as fuck Kratos who seeks redemption, yet goes around kill people?!

What the hell.

"ARRRGH ME KRATOS!!!"

"ARRRRGH!"

Please, God of War has 'epic' level design, but it's story is hardly anything to write him about.

Do you have that pic without the text at the bottom? That should be my new wallpaper!

Ah, rolling around and pressing Y in the air? :lol

The flying swallow problem was fixed in NG: Black.

Wait, we're comparing the likes of DMC3, God of War, Ninja Gaiden to action like RE4?! Those are some big differences, I mean I might as well add in Metal Gear Solid 3 and say screw all of those titles!!

so Zelda should be a single dungeon with 1 boss and 3 push block puzzles?

i thought the story was awesome... not good enough to be a movie or an RPG, but it was well above average for a game. It certainly kills NG's story... and I love the way the story was told. Great cut scenes with an awesome narrator.

edit// one of the few games this gen, where the end of the story really left me salivating for a sequel.

Someone else brought up RE4. I just think it sucks as an action game. :D I dont get its appeal at all.

Don't forget the fact that the game takes place in pretty much just one dungeon. Epic stories require diverse locations in my book.

The entire opening sequence on the boats was freaking amazing. After that point God of War owned me. Its shallow but what they did was executed to perfection.

You mean God of War's massive array of 3 boss fights and 2 weapons isn't good enough? :lol :lol

Hm, DMC3 has 10 weapons and 14 boss fights.

NG has a good number too. Anyone know how many?

Regardless, I like this thread.

DMC+NG fans hating on God of War. My dream thread.

I think DMC3's is better, the fact that 2 novels and 2 manga's can be well written to expand these stories is also a testament.

I don't know, I didn't like how the story seemingly focused on one guy, who acted the same god damn way throughout the game.

While with DMC3 you have 4 main characters, all who have believable motives, goals and histories.

Dante the cornball (yet gets serious when need to). Vergil the brother seeking to redeem his incomplete being, and kill off any aspect that makes him seem human (aka, having a brother, Dante). Arkham and Lady (well, days of our lives with that huh?)

You should really play DMC3, the fact that you love NG to such a degree means at the least you'll think DMC3 is a pretty solid title, at the least. I know it has a 'harsh' save ssytem but if you take note of Speevy's thread, I assure you there are those who can more than help with any and all facets of the game.

Completely agree. Presentation wise GOW surpasses DMC3 and NG with the voice work and polished design.

Ah yes, God of War may have more $$$$ pumped into and thus have better production values than DMC3 and NG, but what game has better action and replay value?

eh...eh....ehhhh, that's right. =p
 
Dante would wet himself just from breathing the same air as Ryu. Don't even compare the badassness of the two. Twirling around in the air pansily, wimpily, and fruitily only makes you an:

Ryu's cock is so large that it's detachable for sake of comfort during bad ass Black Spider Ninja combat. And Ryu doesn't twirl in the air. He JUMPS. Very manly.
 
Sorry, I edited my post to reflect the funnier statement made by Sholmes. Ruh-oh. Yours was good though, mad props.

Trish versus Rachel.

Now that's something worth debating over.

...this thread needs pics >.>
