So after a week of the games release, and getting baked af playing through it, I wanted to give a review after I cleared everything and the achievements and all that stuff.. you don't need to read my review, this is simply a discussion thread for what people did or did not like about the game cause I want others opinions too. But here is my review:
XBLGT: D Rawwwww (play me) If you need help finding the NTL pages, I got you.
But things I didn't like:
Story Mode:
-Having to buy the items consecutively
-Mixed feelings about the ending (Madara vs 5 kage)
-Ninja Timeline, yes it's cool you can do most of the fights through out all the series but if they had time to make that into the game they could have done a lot more instead.
Versus:
-I absolutely hated the animation before the fights, I liked it when it was just a picture of the character. I feel like I'm playing that Naruto DS game with those kind of graphics, it should've been how it was during boss battles, or like the other games.
-I expected this but, same combos and moves as last game. Yes we had to expect this to make the game development faster, but the combos should be different for the war characters at least. Like what is the point of playing as 6 paths Yagura? Nothing. Just for show. I was expecting war Kakashi to wield the execution blade.
-Lack of certain awakenings, like Tsunade in her genetic rebirth state, or DSM Kabuto. Also I think the two different kinds of awakenings are killing the game, it should either be one or the other. It is confusing and somewhat unfair to certain characters. People just spam the instant awakening.
-Not enough characters. I wouldn't say this if all of the war characters had a different moveset, but its true. We have 12 newcomers, 1 new naruto and sasuke, and no edo kages. Also no different moves, but you can select Edo Zabuza from regular Zabuza. Just like Deidara, Asuma, and Haku. It just a change in appearance and if you ask me thats just dumb, lazy, and a waste of time. My friends and I play random characters cause its more fun in my opinion and takes more skill, we get three picks and if you don't like any of them u can get a final pick but u have to stick with it, and I simulated it myself pressing random 20 times, and I got no new characters. We have too many old characters and not enough new ones.
-Wayyyyyyy too much dialogue, I'd skip through things and literally it wouldn't be half way over lol
-Seriously, how is CC2 going to make the kages characters to fight with jutsu and ultimate jutsu, and combos, but not playable. letdown of the year.
-Not on a fanboy note, but lack of Sasuke. He had 1 chapter and fragment to himself sure, but I honestly saw this coming cause I know the story and I was only gonna be satisfied with going up to Itachi and Sasuke vs Kabuto. It would've been a dope boss battle, and we would've gotten DSM Kabuto. So more Sasuke, Story, Boss Battles, and another character.
-People that only use Nagato, Madara, or Rinnegan Tobi as their supports or main character
What I did like:
Story Mode:
-You didn't need to roam the village to proceed the game, there wasn't that much free play and wondering around to progress the story, in storm 2 you had to clear a bunch of events to proceed.
-Boss Battles are more diverse, example: Kakashi
-A lot more challenging than I had expected, I underestimated the game and did Legend every single time and just dived in and did me and destroyed everything in sight. But I used very little strategy
-Last Battles were challenging for sure, it as a great closing to the game. I loved the tailed beast battle it was so hard at first unless you had a strategy and figured out all of the tailed beasts moves, when the chapter released I was like damn Storm 3 will be crazy
-I liked the hack and slash gameplay, boss battles, and the stand up fights. It's three different kind of fighting in one game
-Items were better
-Boss Battles, custom cutscenes that didn't exactly happen in the story.
Gameplay:
-Same concept
-Liked everything in the gameplay besides what I said I didn't. But another thing, I wish there was a third health bar, it makes games last longer.
