hello guys, I'm curently playing the NGSII, but as with the first one, some content of the Xbox360 were removed, so, what were those removed content, I know that most proyectile weapons were so, but I could not stand if they removed some enemies

Well lets see, projectiles have been removed. This is the biggest flop. Tests of valor are gone. Several bosses are either replaced or removed but they aren't missed. Wink

Mission mode is gone, colour change costumes gone, biometal and shadow walker gone. But the costumes are better on this anyway so its easy to forget them. Unless you didn't like the Ashtar. Razz

Blood is omitted. If anything else comes to my mind I'll let you know. Or someone else probably will.

A bunch of enemies from Chapter 11 (Now Chapter 14) are removed and thus turned the most epic chapter in a borefest.

Every Water Encounter is removed and thus you now have empty puddles of water.

Survival Mode is removed, which is ironic, considering it's NGS and not NGII that came up with the idea in the first place. (Though NGII's Survival Mode is much better)

Projectile UTs have been removed.

IS Ninjas come in groups of two, and to "even" their difficulty with NGII's IS Ninjas they artificially gave them more health, making fighting them simply boring unless you're a combo fanatic like me.

Besides the Incendiary Shuriken and Windmill Shuriken, the Gatling Speargun is removed too, but I don't think anybody misses that thing. (Seriously, I can understand removing the Gatling Speargun, but there's NO reason to remove the IS and WS.)

Some places lost their BGM and gave us silence instead. I guess your opinion may vary on this one. On one hand it gives the place a bit of an atmosphere, on the other hand it could make going through the place boring.

I could think of more, but I'm tired.

agree, this game is boring as hell now.
Team Ninja better give us some good DLC soon.
i heard CyberEvil said there will be some new DLC coming soon so let's hope they are good or else this game will be bore just like NG2 now.
once u complete everything, its boring.
i am usually rank on the top 10 all the time, and yeah i don't give a crap about ranking, i want fun, if those DLC that come out soon aren't fun, guess this game will be list for bidding on ebay.

The game is just "boring" cuz we actually know the most things from NG2. Same with Sigma 1.

Ayane is now the owner of the IS Wink

(so the weapon is basically still in the game).

It's not that Team Ninja just removed stuff, they made some places more entertaining and fun to play + added a lot of new things.

I'm glad that they removed the (broken) water fights + jellyfish.

thought i still like NGS2 more than NG2 because of the leader-board, no 1 have 99,999,999 so i am good and i am actually rate #1 in some chapter challenge so i am fine, instead of like NG2 leader board where u beat MNM and got lower rank than a guy who only play Acolyte for 1 hr. Mad

and for real, NGS2 need some cool DLC to save it.

I know your love for the IS ^^

I just said that the IS has not been removed from the game Laughing

And about that "definite NG" from Hayashi....I mean, how many times Itagaki said NG2 would be the definite/"ultimate" NG experience (and it wasn't)? It's just pure PR talk, nothing more. Since Sigma 1 I dont believe anything in that direction. Every NG plays different.

A "definite version" for me means that one NG combines elements from other NG games. And this cant be done with a simple remake or an upgraded version of ONE (in this case NG2) game. At least that's what I think about "definite".

Sigma 2 is more or less a Ninja Gaiden 2 for PS3 owners who enjoyed Sigma 1 but never played the NG games on Xbox or Xbox 360. Most of them dont even know NG2 or the differences between the two games.

Sure, some fans may be dissapointed but give a Sigma 2 owner a 360 + NG2 and he automatically says "NG2 sucks".

Sigma 2 is, at least for me, a better version of NG2. It's more fun to play and not that frustrating (I can live with instant-boss-grab-kills as long as I dont get raped during every encounter of some normal projectile spamming enemies *NG2 sigh*). Only the ultimate ninja missions are mostly bull crap xD (I bet it was the surprise Hayashi talked about Laughing

)

IMO there a lot of empty halls that were filled with enemies like who didn't like those battles let me know. Bc that's how you show how bad ass Ryu was. Chapter 11 is a Joke that level had ninjas every where and it was completely controllable. Now they have dogs WTH?
I enjoy fighting ninjas more than dogs. The one kill grab is doable in game but not in coop it just takes the fun out of playing MN and UN.
