I've always loved Beat Em Ups, Hack and Slashes, and really any non shooter 3rd person action game, so I decided to try out Ninja Gaiden 3.
I'm glad I did because even though it is pure perfection I have one complaint about Bayonetta, she isn't a ninja. Ryu is a ninja and an awful one at that.
I had only played the Ninja Gaiden demo on OG Xbox years ago so I stepped into this fresh with little to no previous experience of the Ninja Gaiden games. That was a mistake, immediately after I was given control of Mr. Hayabusa I preceded to rush into to combat with confidence gained from playing Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising and died. I was playing in front of people so not wanting to bitch out, I continued confidence damaged greatly and died again. After multiple tries and the game mocking me by asking to drop to a lower difficulty, I finally got to the first boss and this is when I fell in love with this game. I spent about an hour getting my ass kicked but every time I died, I came back with new knowledge of the fight. Finally after learning patterns and getting better with the dodging, I won. After an hour of losing and learning I won and it felt great. Now after everyone left I switched to easy but it still felt great and even on easy the game is still not a walk in the park the odds are just a little more in your favor.
I had a blast playing the game. The plot, not so much. By the end of the game I wanted every one to die. Ryu, Mizuki, Conna EVERYBODY.
Once it was established that Ryu and Mizuki have an interest in each other I gagged consonantly every time they had a "moment" on screen specifically after the "adorable" moment between Ryu and Conna, Mizuki's daughter. The characters themselves, except Conna, are fine but they're forced into crappy tropes which ruins it for me.
All in all Ninja Gaiden 3 is a great game that narrowly escapes the awfulness of it's plot. Also Momiji better be the star of the next game.
