Ninja Blade Ninja Souls 1-3: Takes place in the far future with techno ninjas. Fans debate whether it is the same universe as Ninja Blade Iron Will (Blood Borne): Samurai soulsborne with guns to parry, still has Lovecraft elements, takes place in a 1920 Tokyo aesthetic instead of 1890's London looking location Vortigern (Sekiro): Mythic northern Europe. The Roman empire has fallen and there's a warring states period across Germania and Britania, any creature in Sekiro that's a Yokai is replaced with a Fae approximation. Sword Saint Ishin is replaced by Ghillie Dhu, Saint of the Forests Age of Storms (Elden Ring): Instead of George RR Martin, Fromsoft has contacted Kaoru Kurimoto to help with story writing. Armored Core remains entirely unchanged

I had this game as a present back in the day and had a mixed feeling about it. Back at the time I considered myself a super hardcore gamer and only played games at max difficulty, and this game got the best of me. I ended up quitting and coming back to it multiple times with various difficulties, and ended up selling because I couldn't take it anymore.

Yo, is that sword at the dad fight at the end the same as Rivers of Blood in Elden Ring?

The moonlight great sword is legit fromsofts Mario. That damn sword is everywhere.

I liked this game when I was a kid, I even 100% it, getting that "moonlight sword" with no context in a room that looked way out of place in the game was very puzzling back then, now that I found this channel I finally know where it came from, my teen self must be happy.

Ninja Gaide is just such a big milestone. Most developers are prone to fail by default trying to copy it's core mechanics. I'd just whished it's sequels would have been as true to the original as possible. Instead they wanted to make everything bigger, shinier and therefore it became shittier.

Started checking for From Software after Tenchu. Glad you mentioned quick time events. There's a way to "passively" implement QTE, like in RE, where you want to pay attention to the dialogue, to avoid an unexpected attack/instakill. Or landing key blows/maneuvering here and there. Love that type of engagement. Otherwise... it's "fluff". As much as 'im (I) love Asura's Wrath's Concept/Design/Art/Etc., 'im would probably never play it. Thanks for your take on this creation from From. 😊👍🏽

Oh my god this game is a lost memory archive. I got it as a kid thinking it was going to be like ninja gaiden because I loved those games, I know this game had its flaws. I little brain didn’t mind fighting recycled bosses at the time and I thought the kill animations were cool. Definitely not the worse game I ever played.

I consider Ninja Blade a proto-Asura's Wrath. Sure, the QTEs were excessive in a time when QTEs were reviled but they do seem intended as a large and equal part of the gameplay and the game does warn you that a QTE sequence is coming up with that eye focus scene. Plus IIRC the button prompts were usually fairly logical. I think it's kinda the opposite of RE4's QTEs which were designed to keep the horror tension up during cutscenes since you could be prompted to hit a button combo at any time (and the buttons were randomized to make it meaner).

I know I’m a little late to the video, but a while before the Soulsborne games, Fromsoft made the Armored Core series! Though both games are incredibly different, both are very difficult and reward adaptability. Maybe worth checking out? It’s been about a decade since they made an Armored Core game so with the announcement of Armored Core 6 to drop next year now is a perfect time!

For anyone who's interested, I recommend watching Matt McMuscles' "Demon's Souls - What Happened?", which explains a lot of what was going on in FromSoft when Demon's Souls and Ninja Blade were being developed, and how it's basically a miracle that Demon's Souls even exists.

I like how at 0:18 you showed intense highlights from bloodborne and sekiro, but for dark souls you just showed the player standing in front of firelink shrine. Which is exactly what I think of when I think of dark souls for some reason.

The guy in the game: throws the motorcycle Dante: *smiles*

I had DMC vibes from that moonlight greatsword cutscene, but in a very awkward way. You know how every time Dante in DMC acquires a new weapon, there's a cutscene where he demonstrates what it can do in a very stylish way? Well, he generally does that in two types of cutscenes. The first type is when he slays a bunch of enemies that come out of nowhere displaying what the weapon can actually do, while being Dante (careless, cool and hellishly stylish). The second type is when he does some wacky cool moves that represent the FEEL and MOOD of the weapon (I'm looking at you, Dr. Faust, Nevan, and Gilgamesh), rather than actual moves. Well, this was neither. I swear to god, if the moonlight greatsword cutscene had enemies in it, it would be actually pretty good! And without them it just feels wacky and awkward... He stylishly cuts a bunch of... Roots? Don't get me wrong, Dante in DMC 4 often does the same thing with the big black obelisks, but when he does it, he doesn't even pretend to be serious, he does all kinds of "WOHOO"s and wears a grin during all of it, so you can tell he's just having a BLAST. This cutscene is just trying to be too serious while in actuality being way too wacky for itself, which makes it awkward.

@armedweiss5531
