Comments on: Ninja Gaiden doesn’t have the “power,” says DMC creator http://www.vg247.com/2008/08/30/ninja-gaiden-doesnt-have-the-power-says-dmc-creator/ VG247.com Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:32:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Dr.Haggard http://www.vg247.com/2008/08/30/ninja-gaiden-doesnt-have-the-power-says-dmc-creator/comment-page-1/#comment-25146 Dr.Haggard Sat, 30 Aug 2008 23:09:54 +0000 http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/08/30/ninja-gaiden-doesnt-have-the-power-says-dmc-creator/#comment-25146 Boths God of Wars and both Otogis are excellent, but DMC and NG have always struck me as puerile nonsense. Kamiya makes himself sound like a bit of an idiot here, but then don't he and Itagaki always come across as arrogant, needy prima donnas anyway? I certainly don't think either's portfolio is deserving of the rock star treatment they seem to get, but then I guess someone's been buying all these DMC games over the years.

Never got into a single one of the hack and slash games. Ninja Gaiden Sigma was hard and boring God of War was taking itself too seriously and boring Devil May Cry seemed floaty, pointless and boring But I completely understand I am not one of the majority. Hah.

Never got into a single one of the hack and slash games.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma was hard and boring
God of War was taking itself too seriously and boring
Devil May Cry seemed floaty, pointless and boring

But I completely understand I am not one of the majority.

You call that a response? I was hoping for something textually violent. I can't really agree with either one of them though, as I haven't played so many action games(or at least of these kinds), but I prefer DMC over NG. As for GoW, I'm playing it right now. It's greatness. What? You call that a response? I was hoping for something textually violent.
