Who plays Ninja Gaiden for the stories?

Just like who plays Call of Duty for the stories?!

What about Call of Duty Zombies? I like the zombies part of the games.

That thing had a story?

What about how extremely linear that game was? You get this cool new "ninja sense" and what good does it do? Tell you to go straight in a straigh hallway? Oh really, thanks game, I would've been completely stuck without that. The game even reminds you of that every couple of minutes and when I decided to turn off the on-screen tutorials IT TURNED OFF THE BUTTON PRESS DISPLAY OF THE QTES! One of the most ridiculous design flaws I've seen.

LOL ooooh my God, that ninja sense did absolutely nothing useful. I had that initial reaction to the button display too, but I got over it right away when I realized that I could mash buttons and still win the fights anyways.

Another thing that bothered me was the removal of the gore and de-limbing from NGII. Not only was it visceral and aesthetic, it tied in extremely well with Obliterations and certain combos like the Izuna Drop.

I actually thought at first that the ninja sense would hep you find alternate paths and secrets or something. That would actually have been cool. But no, it serves no purpose whatsoever. Oh, and I could mash my way through the battles just fine without it, I meant the cutscene QTEs. Those were also gone when you turned the thing off.

Removal of gore and de-limbing? What version of the game do you have? Like, country and all? I have the PAL PS3 version and it certainly has gore and people losing their limbs, even more so than what was in the PAL Sigma 2. It was propably the only improvement I saw in the game.
