Why am I like the only guy who loved this game?

I think it's much better than the likes of Bayonetta...

You talking about the Ninja Gaiden rip-off?

Oh yeah, that had so much more flowing combat than Bayonetta /sarcasm.

Oh well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

I never played it, but from what I gathered from the demo and word of mouth, it's supposed to be very stiff and bland. Then again, it is a Hack n' Slash game competing among franchises like God of War, Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden, plus the new Bayonetta and upcoming Dante's Inferno.

If we judged it on it's own merits, I could see how someone would like it, but honestly, the game's existence comes into question, since there are so many better Hack n' Slash games out there.

And better than Bayonetta? Now you're just being a troll.

I only played the demo, but it was okay, nothing I'd buy though. Although I will probably never buy Bayonetta either.

I thought Ninja Blade was a poor title for it, I thought Quicktime Event: The game was much more fitting for that game, since they happened every other second!

Because it's a horrible game. I read the back and bought it because it sounded a lot like prototype. But NO! There should be a warning on it, something like: "Warning! This game is 45% quick time events, 45% boss battle, and 10% fighting smaller enemies. If you do not like starting over due to pressing one single button a little too late, do not buy this game."

This post is brilliant, for this matter.

What the hell is Ninja Blade?
Just googled it.

Its by the same people who did Demon's Souls.

I haven't played it though Demon's Souls was great.

I've only played the Bayonetta demo at GameX, and while I wasn't impressed, it definitely had better control than Ninja Blade.

In fact, Ninja Blade isn't fun until you've managed to upgrade your weapons almost halfway through the game. The default sword is garbage, the heavy blade is only useful on certain enemies, and until you've gotten the twin falcon knives to level two or three the combat is complete garbage. Any game that requires you to invest a few hours BEFORE you can start having fun is on a highway to suck-town.

That said, the game IS fun AFTER all that upgrading...until you reach the Quick Time Events.

From Software thought they could fix QTE's, but they couldn't. In fact, here's a quote from my own little article [http://www.gamertagged.net/index.php/article/quick_time_extinction/] inspired by Ninja Blade:

The philosophy of Quick Time Events is flawed and foolish. They aren?t really interactive at all as the only potential outcome is success or failure. If you succeed you are still rail-roaded into doing what the game wants. To put it in terms of Dungeons and Dragons, let?s say you and your friends are playing a game where a Dragon suddenly appears. Roll a spot check! Why? It doesn?t matter, just roll it. Oh, you failed? Looks like you take? 47 damage from its claws you couldn?t see coming. What about your Armor Class? Nah, since you failed to see the claws you couldn?t dodge or anything, so you got hit. Anyway, make a jump check. You make it? Ok, you manage to leap onto its back. Now roll seven D20?s and tell me what you get. Hurry up man, you don?t have much time. Oh, sorry, the dragon shook you off and now you?re on the ground. Hey, it?s not my fault you didn?t have seven D20?s ready and needed to scrounge into your dice bag.

Yeah, that?s probably the most terrible game of Dungeons and Dragons that could ever be played, and yet that?s pretty much what it feels like. Sure, there is the potential for the cut-scene to be awesome, but that assumes you automatically succeed at everything.

Which brings us to the delusion that a Quick Time Event?s cut-scene could be enjoyed at all. You?re too busy waiting to press a button, and if you dare miss the press you have to go back and view it all again. Imagine how much you would have hated Star Wars if you had to keep watching the Mos Eisley bar fight where Obi-Wan saves Luke and slices that asshole?s arm off. Whoops! Obi-Wan failed to save Luke in time! Rewind, watch it, WHOOPS! This time Obi-Wan didn?t swing the saber in time and died! Ok, sliced the dude?s arm off. Now we can just get on with it and GOD DAMMIT Greedo shot Han!
I've played through Ninja Blade in its entirety and all it did was make me want to play Ninja Gaiden 2.

That is why no one cares about Ninja Blade.

Plus, Bayonetta had a shit ton of hype because you get to see a polygonal model ALMOST nude. WHOO! TITS AND ASS!
