First off, one person could point out that a balance issue is actually something that makes sense in lore. Because you are going up against enemies that are trying to kill you, and people trying to kill you don't normally want to give you a chance at survival - and will therefore do what it takes to kill you. The Germans were not thinking about how to balance out their mustard gas weapons, and they sure weren't trying to balance the wonder waffa. But that cutscene for the gold fiend, was because in the normal game you typically first encounter a flying fiend in that or a regular scene in that cutscene. But that depends on whether it's path of the acolyte or path of the warrior, and they still left the cutscene in - so they went and showed a higher level fiend. Basic, winged, and gold.

You literally put your soul in these 8 hours long series, so rare to see a player talking with such passion about these action games, that are often so underestimated (besides games like GoW but we all know that is REALLY different stuff).

The only game franchise that left my hands spasming after beating them on Master ninja.... 1 and 2 were so far ahead of their time, it's taken 2 decades for games to mimic the fluidity and brutality. These games (barring 3) just need a proper remake with Ng+ carry over, and also give the original difficulty levels as well as the gore. Best way to beat the game on master is to hold the block button at all times so you never absorb the orbs, find an open space then hold your ultimate technique button to instantly max it out and clear a crowd out. Use izuna drop quickly, jump away with the flying swallow for more orbs, you'll have 2 orbs ready for the ultimate technique again. Your best friends will be; never letting go of the block button, ultimate technique, the flying swallow, izuna drop, kunai, ninpo for clutching, and never staying in one place. For bosses.... Good luck you'll have to figure that torture out yourself, especially for gank fights and the Ryu clone.... The PTSD is unreal 😂 but it is very possible. The third game was a mess and isn't cannon, for me at least - Good luck to those trying to beat both games on master - I went through the torture of beating the 1st and 2nd games 2 times each on master difficulty just because of the difference versions, worst curiosity choice of my life 🫠

First off: your videos are *Master Ninja* status approved. Amazing stuff. My first NG game was Sigma on PS3. Managed to do everything 100% (this was before trophies can into existence). Now where things got crazy was Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2. I got it on release and was adamant to get the platinum. There was 1 thing that was stopping myself and others - the co-op missions. You’d see the same names playing all the time to try and get this. About 10 of us (USA, Japan and me from the UK) were playing it non stop but it was beyond brutal. It took approximately 2 months and 2 weeks to get the platinum and I was only 23rd in the world to get it. It’s arguably one of the most dedicated and harsh experiences I’ve had in gaming but sharing it with others who shared the sentiment even with a language barrier with players from Japan. The fact that games like this don’t exist anymore (bar DMC5) is a shame. Majority of gamers don’t like these harder games.
