Ninja Gaiden 2 - as good as DMC 4

I also prefer DMC...Ninja Gaiden has no worthwhile storyline. It's almost like they throw in a storyline as an afterthought.
As an RPG diehard, story is just too important to me.

The DMC serie have pretty awful story. Have not tried NG serie yet but I cant imagine it having worse :D

Who the hell plays this kind of game for its story?

Some genres have a story as an afterthought/excuse to put the levels together, and they're fine that way. Not every game needs to be based on a frikkin story.

 

 

Just my opinion:)  I played Ninja Gaiden Black on the xbox and that was the main reason I didn't like it.  I don't think games have to have "killer" stories, but if they're going to "try" to include one then make it somewhat worthwhile or don't attempt it at all...like Virtua Fighter.

I absolutely love Action games....God of War, Heavenly Sword, DMC, etc.  I buy every damn one on all the consoles.  Maybe you don't like stories, but I f'ing do...just my opinion.  And I think some action/hack&slash games do a great job with the story--like God of War and Heavenly Sword (Although HS had many other flaws).

Overall, I just prefer the atmosphere and feel to the DMC franchise.  Just my opinion on two different games I've played.  I think NG does SOME things very well....especially making combos worthwhile and "essential" (unlike Heavenly Sword), but it does some "other" things like crap.
