these opinions arent well structured or well formed at all but i dont rlly care i just dont like the game

just everything here is just off and gross and I just dont care to keep playing. The games still fine though. Nothing like horribly bad. Probably one of platinums better games since bayo 1 i just dont care but if yall like it. Thats cool.

automatic camera just doesnt do a good job at keeping the enemies on screen either. its weird I just got used to manually moving it with the right stick but it kinda just sucks lol
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
I had complaints about the camera. It feels like it doesnt know what it wants to be. If it wants to be automatic like a platinum game or if it wants to be manual like a TN game. Camera reset is not your lockon button so you cant reset it to point it like old ng, but the-

against any sort of cascading faliure aswell. Damage in NG was kinda like accmulative in some ways. Sometimes they had enemies with grabs that did a shit ton of damage to catch you off guard but here everything just does a billion damage

traded off for one another. This feels like its a result of trying to design enemies around a character thats just too good to design enemies around. The more options you give to empower the player, the more tough it is to design a game around it

so much of these telegraphed armor moves, a platinum specialty. blocking is solved by just using blood raven to break it. Things that had some dynamic-ness but were flawed just kinda becomes like

states

Player moveset and Enemy moveset are a balance where things are-

overall this desire to make the player move powerful with *crazy movement* and *crazy combos* feels like its railroaded enemy design a bit. They still feel agressive and punishing but theres a bit of dynamicness lost because they gotta keep up with how fucked yakumo is
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
and it just does not look great? Old ng wasnt amazing at it either but defensive crowd control just being a bunch of animations now is idk stupid
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
I cant comment on combos because I dont care to get far enough to try the new stuff but all that looks pretty worse now too. Instead of improving stuff like izuna drop spam they just added dmc style juggles and made enemies jump in the air to block your combo-
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
that had intense tracking with a tradeoff for control now just bakes the tracking into your moveset. fun.
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
Suck to target was a problem in old NG too. You had moves with tracking and you had flying swallow and izuna drop spam etc and also wind run. But now ng4 has all that on your normal attacks, and your glory kills just teleport you to the enemy??? moves-
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
oh and a large portion of the company also walked out
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
because it feels like they were doing too much in the wrong ways. They had to recreate a combat system they had no experience with making, while on top of that having this crazy wild new character plus having to do that with a lower budget and its probly crunched too
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
so then platinum can take what they learned and do all this new shit with a new character in a ng5 or something
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
platinum gets a bunch of shit for this but I feel like this is prob some corporate meddling. If it were up to them they probably wouldve wanted to make a ryu only title to test the waters. Which is what they shouldve done. NG4 shouldve been a bit safer and refined what was there-
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
a sequel 15 years later after ng3 was already in some reguards considered a step backwards, doubling down on the flaws instead of seeking to refine and improve. My problem isnt that its not the same game from 2008, my problem is its not doing anything to IMPROVE from that game
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
I noticed a pattern reguarding criticism with this game. You get people saying "oh the older ones you like so much did it" and then ppl try to explain how the way the old one did it is good actually. But I disagree, its not that the parry shit in ng2 is good. its that 4 is worse
November 13, 2025 at 11:26 PM
jokes aside im just not fucking with this game. Suprisingly though. My takeaway is not that its not like ng. My problem is that it is too much? like it doubles down on the things that suck about the older ng titles
