I'm saying this and making it a thread because I want as many people as possible to know what I and others think about this game now that we have bought it and wasted a lot of money on it.

From another NB member:

Let's keep this simple. Gameplay has been refined and it has been made alot more difficult to perform certain cheap tactics. The character roster is great and the available amount of modes is a nice add on, despite being available in almost every other fighter.

Let's be honest, the cut scenes are for the most part very good in the story mode but the narrative is repetitive and boring and the whole story mode is FAR too short. It's disgraceful to be honest, you can finish it in a few hours, easily. This game should not have been RRP at full game price (roughly £40 where I'm from).

Online is still absolutely YEARS behind other matchmaking systems as I tried 20 TIMES, YES, 20 TIMES on quick match to get a ranked game. A quick match should as quickly as possible pair two players who are not currently within a game together so a game can be played QUICKLY. I constantly get paired with other users who are 'already busy'. It's a joke.

Hopefully the next iteration will keep up with the improved game mechanics and seriously offer us some substantial game play here. Survival modes etc are nice, but they take so little work to implement and they are pretty much a stick on for every game in existence, so don't kid yourselfs and think that this was genuine innovation. It is merely a form of filler to ensure that players have some more reason to play this game as the story mode is ridiculously short.

Gameplay = Great Improvements

Graphics = Ususal high standard

Cut Scenes = Very good

Lifespan = Despicably short

Online = Reasonable improvements, but matchmaking system is still extremely poor (take a look at EA's online games, or bungies etc etc)

Character Roster = Great

Overall I am dissapointed with this game. I still play online alot, but honestly single player is a disgrace. I've seen DLC updates for games with a greater lifespan than this game.

I have to agree with everything this person says. The game is a disgrace to the fans and really let me down. It's not a full game by any means. Simply a cash-in on some new characters they made. At best it should have become a small add on/DLC for NUNS 2. Not a full-price Game.


BTW,feel free to say what things you think they could add to make it or NUNST 3 better.

No, he is not.
Oh god seriously.

Generations wasn't worth the money / isn't worth the money in my opinion.. (I didn't pay for it anyway so I don't care. :p)

Take my advice, wait for NUNS3. The characters that's newly added should be DLC, and half are Support-only.

Exactly a filler game and thus should not have been full price.

I am not hating. I appreciate a good game when it comes out but this was a fart in the face of the fans. Half the characters have been copied and pasted from the other two games and only a few new moves added to others.

Yes the new characters are good but they aren't £45 good.

When Dragon Age Awakenings came out,they didn't charge full price and it was over 20 hours long easily.

Dragon Age Origins has about 20 hours of DLC which really adds to the game.

Why the fudge did they make this into a full game when so many of us just wanted DLC?

The answer £££££$$$$$$££££££

Got it the first week. thought it was great. played us2 and realized that it was way easier because like you said i could do cheap tactics and beat people relatively easy on the hardest difficulty

Generations is also super easy...and you can spam Substitution much easier but just not as many times. But actually doing it is piss easy.

Also,those 100+ hit combo's are a joke. What an easy way to win a fight. You wait for someone to have no sub bar and then spam attacks n combo's....I can really smell the sack of the C.E.O of CC2 on my face right about now. :mad:

I like the new system and frankly im happy that story mode is short. We have played a lot of games with the kazekage arc(where we had to run through deserts and forests),and im sick of it! A few of the little characters are completly changed so they r like new. The game would be too big with the 3rd person ! Im buying this game

If you don't have any other Naruto game,then it's not a bad purchase but I would recommend buying Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 for less than £20 instead. Much longer and more involved story which lasts roughly 30 hours or so maybe more and is great fun.
Also the BOSS fights are utter AWESOMENESS!!!!

Generations is good if you've got none of them, but it's not good enough to be it's own game. And not good enough to warrant an RRP of £40 or $60.

It's not worth it. You miss out on many great experiences and feel like it's all over too soon.

Don't dude. Go and Rent it 1st.

The small ones are not completely changed at all.

Only the new(as in not in any others before) characters a different,because we've not had em before. But the recycled characters are just the same as before but without Ultimates in Awakening and without choice of other moves.

You've been advised my friend. It's a waste of money....for now.

Very agreeable. I really dislike the online. But its just a "filler game", I say buy it if u don't really want to wait for NUNS3, but buy it when its cheap.

Please know, that most likely the next main storm game will not be made until Naruto is over. It wouldn't make sence if they were to stop at a certain point. And probally after storm 3, we will get Generation 2. :D

Generation stopped alot of spamming, but made new ones as well :(

I think the spamming is much, much worse now.

It's just not worth the money and should have been a complete game if they wanted to charge so god-damn much for it.

A filler game should cost around £20 or $30

The game totally wasn't worth the full price, since it's just Storm 2.5.
I didn't like how the boss battles were just fights. What happened to the cutscenes and battles from Storm 2? :(

It's only worth buying at full price if you are going to play with friends online. Otherwise, it's hit-and-miss.

I already ordered it about a week ago.
Is singleplayer really that short? It took me around 15 hours to complete UNS2 and Generations should cover the whole anime part til' now,so i'm not sure how can it be short.
Sheesh,i just hope i didn't give my money for nothing.:/
