@Choco Actually, I like Tecmo Koei and always have, but regardless of what crowd Ninja Gaiden III is made for, it's just not a good game. It's highly repetitive and uses the same gimmicks over and over again. Not to mention that, but the controls use and auto-tracking system that doesn't allow you to make precision moves and then swarms you into a mass pack of enemies that cloud your vision. I don't care who made it, it's not good gameplay. Not to mention that, but the horrid Move implementation, that requires you to manually switch into the control options via the XMB to even get past the main menu, then tells you to press unresponsive buttons on the next screen, is flat out piss-poor implementation. I'm not going to delve any deeper than this, but I highly recommend staying away from this title if you're a fan.
I've loved the Ninja Gaiden series since I was six years old and this game doesn't deserve to hold the title. And just for the record, I absolutely adore the casual DS Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword.
Tecmo Koei is really pushing the Dynasty Warriors forward with awesome releases like DW7 and DW: Next, but I'm sorry, this isn't a good game man. It's the biggest letdown of my entire life when it comes to gaming. I'd never boycott Tecmo Koei, as their Omega Studio is very good and caters to a small niche crowd, but I'm very disappointed with Team Ninja right now.
It's actually a pretty difficult game. As is Demon's Souls. It's also hilarious when they beat a boss and literally scream like a little girl.
Great game.
I thought Demon's Souls was pretty difficult. I found Dark Souls to be a cakewalk, which disappointed me greatly.
But then I have been playing this unofficial "series" since King's Field on the original PlayStation. After King's Field IV, there is no game out there that knows how to be as brutally hard and yet compelling, so the Souls games were always going to go downhill.
Edit - should mention they're still good games, no denying that. It's just disappointing that people jump into Dark Souls, go "OMFG awesome," and then don't realise it's actually the least of a series of six games.
So the fact that some people have no idea what King's Field is, yet love Dark Souls makes them whatever you're trying to say about them? Who cares? It's a very fun, rewarding game.

Why do you get so defensive at the mere perception that someone doesn't agree with what you're saying?
All I said was that Dark Souls is the least of the six games, and it's a pity that so many people start, and stop, at Dark Souls without getting a chance to experience the far harder, and far better, King's Field series. Being the least doesn't make it bad. It just makes it the least.
So relax. I wasn't attacking you, rendering your life meaningless, or whatever else you read into what I wrote. I do however suggest you get yourself a copy of Kings Field IV. You'll thank me later.

I wasn't. The way you worded your opinion made it seem like anyone who enjoyed Dark Souls is wrong or something.
And for the record, you're the one that started this discussion. I was just saying how it's funny when my friends get mad at Dark Souls but then you had to bring up King's Field rather than contribute by relating.
Edit: Anyhow, anyone play Tales of Graces f yet? My friend bought it the other day but I don't know if it looks as good as the fans say it is.
So, my Ninja Gaiden III review is now finished in first draft format, so it'll go up in a few days time when I've polished it up nice and neat.
But, I finally decided it was time to delve into something superbly Japanese and completely niche: Yakuza 3. It just oozes that SEGA charm that I adore and it's fun as all get out too. I'm only a few hours into it and I'm already hooked!
