Plain and simple blood wile not a major factor in game play is still important. I love the fighting and the intensity not to mettion the speed. Blood is just a satisfiying way of endeding a fight. the sword hitting a body only to render it limless is quite the show and makes you droll over the feeling as if you are realy holding and useing a sword. The only problem is when there is no blood its as if all the crap i had to fight through sud inly vanished only to have me go towards a nother useless fighting sennerio. i understand its not what makes the game but it is indead a part of the imersion and wile some think its unneeded others feel it a vayible part of the game. i still rather play 2 then sigma on the grounds of the blood. so they should make it an option because story sucks and combat is only good if your truly feeling the flow.

Question:
Why no blood in sigma 2?

Choices:
cause tecmo is falling
cause the world is falling

 

cause you did not read other discussions we had on this site.

but there should be an On/Off button.

Your poll options are just ridiculous. This game does not need an "on/off" option for gore. Seems like the majority of these complaints are coming from the US, and myself being from the US it's a little disconcerting to see how many are knocking a great game merely for it not feeding their insatiable appetite for gratuitous amounts of blood and gore. I mean, how shallow can you get over something so trivial in a game that shines just as bright without it? It's rather annoying, to be honest. Let it go. You want enormous pools of blood, scattered internal organs and arterial squirting? Then stop throwing a tantrum already and go play Gears of War or the God of War series. I'm enjoying NGS2 more than I've enjoyed any other NG game, I've been a big fan of the series since the '04 release on Xbox, so that's saying something. Team Ninja rocks! The only thing "falling" is your ability to enjoy a game without excessive blood and gore. Boo to you for that.

Then again, the only thing failing is poor excuse of a debate which you just pulled.

I'm not one to care about the blood, but this game from what I hear needs a patch for a bug that kicks you off the story mode when you get kicked off PSN. That's a flaw that needs fixing. Now, I can see the reason why people would want blood. Ninja Gaiden has a poor story. Hell, NG2 was knocked off points for this and so was NGS2. So people look at NG for the feeling of a realistic kill with blood pouring out. Maybe not Geysers style but I guarantee you if you use a sword and cut someone irl, they'll be bleeding.

In any case, I wouldn't mind an option however the answer to your question Deadlycombo is Hayashi wanted to go a different route with this version. he wanted do something to separate itself from NG2. But blood and gore will return next game so don't worry.

It wasn't my intention to "debate" with anyone. There's nothing to debate, and this thread has absolutely nothing to do with PSN. If you want to talk about a "failing" debate, how about using a "poor story" or real life as a way of justifying the need for more blood/gore in a video game, because that's about as "fail" as it gets when it comes to debate, and you've only further proven my point. If the story is "poor", then anyone with half a brain may conclude that it is in fact the story that needs to be improved, not an increase in gore. NG/NGB/NGS had maybe a fraction of the blood/gore seen the Ninja Gaiden 2 for the 360, if that. Where's the complaints about the first game? Oh, that's right. Last time I checked, it was a great game. So what do you know, a game can be great without excessive amounts of blood and gore, and this is also the case in NGS2. I'm sorry if this comes as a paradox for someone such as yourself. The amount of blood/gore in NGS2 isn't "toned-down", but actually restored to what it was in the first game, with the addition of the "purple mist", as it's been called. If you can't get over it not being the gore-fest NG2 was and enjoy the game for what it is, with the same level of gore as the first game, rather than what you think it should be based on one game in the series, a game that received lower reviews by both fans and critics in comparison to the first game in spite of all the blood/gore, then I suggest you find another game to play.

Ken, you take me for someone who actually cares about the blood and gore. If I did, I wouldn't have gotten the game, and would buy a 360 just to play NG2. But I didn't, cause I didn't want to.

I was only stating why they love it as NG never was strong with story and it's premise was combat and blood. Sure not alot in the first xbox version, but fans have expected the natural progression of the series was to have more blood.

I already stated why it was removed to the topic creator so telling me why it's removed is stupid. I know far more about this title than you think.
At any rate I have the game already and will pop it in eventually. I'm just sick of seeing posts like you and Xino tend to do when someone says why the blood is removed. All you need to do is say way in a nice way and move on. If they continue, then ignore them.

There was no need for the post you submitted to him. He's a new member, posts like that will only make members less enamored to post here.

Now, the poll is obviously ridiculous so let's just say that. But as members of this board and who know alot about this title, we should tell them why it was removed. Give links or redirect them to a post on here saying why.

Nothing in my posts suggests that I am attempting to tell you or anyone why the gore was removed, but rather why complaints about the blood/gore being "removed" or "toned-down" or "nerfed" are generally unfounded in the grand concept of Ninja Gaiden games when you take into account the fact Ninja Gaiden 2 was the only game in the series to feature such gratuitous amounts blood and gore. Hayashi set out to make the "definitive" of the Ninja Gaiden games, and just so happens the excessive blood/gore in NG2 is not "definitive" of the series, the gameplay is, and anyone that's played NG/NGB/NGS would already know this. It's not my problem some people don't think to perhaps use a search engine before registering on the forums to lodge a complaint. This complaint is at least like 8 months old, and rather annoying. It's time to move on to something more important overall to the series than blood/gore, like the characters, the storyline, content, etc.

Wow its pretty funny how i said that i am a fan of the series and blood only fueled my passion for it is being called a nofan (in ideal words). However I , Who actually did play the original ng2 and ng and parts of the very original NG classic, say that the blood, wile not fully essential (see what i did there i stated what i alrdy stated in the orignal post), was surrly missed.By the way the only resson the U.S. is the only place comeplanning cause in other countrys it was not so easly perchiced, 18+ raiting. I am saying that haveing the option to turn on and off the gore would be a good idea so that the panssys who feel the need to defend there beloved boob oreanted company can turn off the gore and those who like the original NG2 can have it turned on. I meanm what, player controled boobs are okay but blood is a horrible idea and should be shot down when ever some one gets sand in there pussy, Becides that, decapitations are rediculis when instead of blood floing out there is some blue mist.

LOL. Please. Enough with the insults. They're not necessary. Plus, I'd bury you IRL. Where does that leave you when you're beat into the asphalt by a "pansy"? Yeah. Time to put your 2-inch e-peen back in your pants now. Not going to get you anywhere here.

LOL i love when some one wants to make a point even when he writes that something isnt nessery , he gets bashed and when he bashes the persson(s) back he gets thretned because ofdefending a point he wanted to make. LOL i find it funny that when i ovissly i was looking for words with enough push to make a point it also gets bashed its funny how humen natuer is no diffrent the midless animalls and none of us are excepitions.

Speak for yourself, buddy. I'm done with this thread. You have fun complaining or whatever it is you're here to do, and I'll have fun playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2.

point proven

why can't you get the reason why there wasn't any blood!? Because it will be rated 18!
NG2 was rated 18 and only sold 1.million. Team NINJA can't waste several months on this remake and expect to gain 1.million or less (since NG2 was released already).

Now stop trolling! Blood will not be optional as downloadable content, and blood will be in NG3. (But it STILL won't be as much as NG2! Or NG3 will be rated 18 once again!)

Σ2 looks great, but it would be nice to play the game with the original gore. I'll have to pick up the original if I get a 360, as they changed a hell of a lot of things.

I'd love to see a patch that introduced a blood option, but that would probably cause complications with the game's age rating. I'm not counting on it ever happening.

That wouldn't matter though, it'll still end up with more money compared to Sigma 2 and NG series in general. Reason due to being on multiple platforms.

They took out the blood and gore not because of the rating but more so they wanted to have their own unique experience for this title. It's just for this game, not for the series.

That is not true. If it's for this title, why did they make a clean killing? Like NG2, when ever Ryu slashes enemies, you see the enemies cut in half, but in this, you see nothing.
