So there's a demo for Ninja Gaiden 3 up on XBL (and I'm assuming PSN as well, but I haven't checked).

It is outrageously bad. Like... I don't have the words. To give you an idea of how retarded this game is: the title menus is sideways. As in, you have to tilt your head to the right to read it properly. Yeah.

That being said, everyone should download it and play it to appreciate just how bad it is. Like, for realz. It'll make you appreciate other games you previously thought were bad.

And it'll also help you appreciate just how damn good the other Ninja Gaiden games were. 

RIP, Ninja Gaiden. We'll always have Black.

But you should, Trey. It's like watching Plan 9 from Outer Space or Showgirls, or playing Dragon Age II. Team Ninja just kept making the worst possible decision at every possible time. It's a magnificent exercise in failure.

I tried it a week ago and yeah it's trash. Worse than I expected. I couldn't even finish it and quit at the part where you have to avoid laser sight from getting you in the smoke or something idk it was awful

It's always extra hard to take when you have very low expectations and still find yourself disappointed.

I'm much happier pretending the game doesn't exist.

Now you know that I didn't lie to you when I told you this game was a disgrace to the Ninja Gaiden name.

Haha,,,wow. For once you're not exaggerating, it really is that bad. And I don't play Ninja Gaiden (except that Game Boy game, Shadow Dragon, which was pretty cool...but I digress)

There's no challenge to the combat in the slightest. I thought when people described it as "mashy" and "QTE-heavy" that it was simply a poor action game. But literally all you have to do is press x or y repeatedly, and you get all sorts of combos and stuff no matter what you do. I was able to kill one group of enemies with my eyes shut, not moving the analog stick at all, and just tapping x. You could probably beat the whole game that way.

The only enjoyable part was the first line of the demo description: "Feel the burden of cutting another person down in the latest chapter of the acclaimed action series."
