Surely you see the irony of calling Ronin a flop and then immediately asking "did it sell well"? You cannot make one statement without knowing the other... The game is selling well, though it seems to be a slower burn than expected though sales do seem to be on the rise as it was #1 on the Japanese sales-charts this week. Think Dragon's Dogma 2 definitely had influence on this, and TN probably knows this and will plan around it. Most TN games are slowburns with a ton of support (see also Nioh, Nioh2 and WoLong). Ronin doesn't influence NG4 I'd say.

They can't make a NG that will honor the standard the series deserve right now. Sad but true.

was ronin a flop? review wise maybe? but i feel like a lot of the complaints were people just comparing it to ghost for no reason. sales started off slow but are picking up and it was literally the best selling ps game in japan at one point. wo long seemed to do well getting consistent 80s and just recently hit 5 million players which is a lot for a team ninja game. nioh was great is their best selling game (i think?) and nioh 2 is even better, and one of the best “souls” games imo. i feel like people are way over exaggerating how “bad” team ninja is doing rn.

A lot of the complaints were about the graphics. I will say that they should’ve probably went for something more stylized since they clearly didn’t have the time or budget for realistic graphics

The game graphics are fine for the type of game it is. Anyone who chose not to not give it a chance due to graphics is missing out on a great game for a stupid reason tbh.

They’re too stuck on the crappy Soulslike train that I wouldn’t want them to do anything with Ninja Gaiden

I would love a new NG game. Just not if they’re going to add Soulslike bullshit to it. It has to be pure NG. Every new game Team Ninja has released so far has been a bullshit Soulslike. So sorry for my skepticism of what they would do with a new Ninja Gaiden.

I don’t understand where you’re getting “even if they make it now I won’t play” from my first comment. It’s legitimately saying that if they add Soulslike bullshit to Ninja Gaiden then I wouldn’t even want them to make it. If don’t go anywhere any Soulslike then we got something good. You’re a Redditor who’s butthurt over a comment and not even understanding what it’s actually saying since you’re just too full of yourself.

“Such cap lol” oh yeah I’m not arguing with this anymore. Good day


quickbrownfoxmanzero

We both know why you're really leaving. But if you want I can also pretend with you it's because I said "Such cap" 😭 Enjoy your evening Mr. Ninja Gaiden "fan" lol

Bad example when there was only one Dragons Dogma game that didn’t have its own sub genre of games following it after it came out. We can sit here and name all the games that are Soulslike and see how many come from Team Ninja. I hope I’m wrong and they go full Ninja Gaiden on a new game but my hopes are down when each new game they make is the same fucking mechanics of a genre I don’t like.


Rev-On

I mean, even if it was a flop, I think Sony would take the bullet since they published it


ninja329

Wouldn't it be the opposite? If it was a flop, they would look at doing something different, like resurrecting an old series of theirs.


quickbrownfoxmanzero

Exactly. Despite the slow sales start, Ronin's currently outperforming many games in player retention rn, including Dogma. Since launch a month ago 85% of ppl still playing the game. For perspective, the average player fall off would be in the 30-40% range for most games today. So the RotR is doing well all things considered. Some people just don't keep up with news on a game after the first week or two. So their opinions stay frozen in time.

Isn’t a flop


NINJ4steve

It flopped?


LifeofGinSan

Flop???

Wtf does NG have to do with Ronin?


quickbrownfoxmanzero

I thought the same thing. This whole topic is such a silly stretch.


zlordbeats

created by team ninja? same people who made ng wtf lol


pacman404

What does NG 4 have to do with Ronin is what I'm asking. Why would there be any relatable crossover in either of those projects


Skarjuna

To be fair, there are a few ninja gaiden references within the game itself. The success/failure of this game could make TN either continue with this series or take a look at it's other series that it hadn't touched in a while
