Seeing on Youtube people saying this is the same as DmC... which is ridiculous. This is easily WAY WAY WAY WAY worse. Not even close.

Of course wouldn't miss a chance to take a shot at DmC though.

Really confused with this title and the involvement of Keiji Inafune and Comcept.

As for the dialogue, I'll take that over the bland incompetent self seriousness of NG3 any day. I don't know man, "take a suck" is actually a pretty hilarious term.

I just wonder how the UT will work in this game, as you could potentially spam UT all way if all you're fighting is zombies.

Holy crap. I finally watched this whole trailer. What the hell?!

Oh well, at least you got the title right. No? Well that don't make you no nevermind, I guess.

Looks like something that could have been a pretty fun and exciting action hack and slash completely ruined by a failed attempt at being edgy. I'm sure it's meant to be amusing but misses the mark entirely. I don't see how anybody thought this dialogue was even remotely bearable, let alone good.

First time I've seen any footage of this game and now I never want to play it. If they'd just showed gameplay without any dialogue then it looks like a Ninja Gaiden game with a neat new art style, which I can get behind. But they didn't and I have no interest in playing the game if that dialogue is even remotely representative of the final product.

Man this looks insufferable. Can't wait to see some enterprising modders re-dub the whole thing to make it actually playable, though.

or another Saerileth mod :->

This game has every right in the world to exist. I just don't know if I'll see myself playing it anytime soon. Not out of any moral objections, mind you. I'm just more excited for Dead Rising 3. : p

Well, if people think Postal is hilarious, I'm sure they're fully open to this too.

This game is like the computer code embodiment of me when I was in middle school and started saying swears to be cool.

I always felt that me back then was really stupid.

Lady, maybe you should have just left that guy dead? Just a suggestion?

Anyway, comedy is dead. So that's cool.

I like the visuals. I think the dialogue is meant to be bad. Getting overly upset about it is useless, and you're better off taking a suck.

If their goal was to write skin-peelingly terrible dialogue, give them a raise because I'm never playing this shit!

If the tanker truck driving between two giant promotional female legs didn't tip you off that this is SUPPOSED to be laughed at, then I don't know what to tell you.

They obviously don't know what the fuck to do with that franchise anymore, not that I ever cared Ninja Gaiden has always been a side scrolling game to me.

I'll accept sugar tits as derogatory, as soon as someone bitching about it stars in a Lethal Weapon movie.

Uuh...wow. I feel like they way the game's trying to set up the protagonist as this unlikeable dick saying dumb things could have been really funny if it was executed better, but this? Bleh.

But I didn't laugh. :(

But I smiled. Didn't laugh. But the thought of "Oh, this is the direction they're headed." was amusing in an I can turn my brain off for a few hours kind of way. It all just hinges on if what is in this trailer is the best they have to offer, or if they can get somewhat clever about things in the rest of the game.

Ok, I actually smiled because it reminded me of Patch Adams. fuck shitty video games

Considering that all previous games in the franchise were steaming piles of garbage, this looks to be the best direction the franchise has yet to take... hopefully its not as stale and crappily animated as previous games. Who am I kidding? This will probably be a piece of shit as well.... at least they are trying something new...

At least it's basically wearing a "Hey this game is sleazy trash" sign.

Unlike most games whose trailers try to say "Hey, this is a SERIOUS and MATURE game with, like, emotions and stuff. At least 4 of them" and then the game turns out to be a hacky piece of crap.
