I've beaten the game recently and as expected it is really, really fun but good lord those Kushina flashbacks during/after the battle with Kurama last like an entire friggin' hour.
New Naruto Game - Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
-
-
yeah. Chapter 4 is kinda painful, I'm now up to chapter 8 i believe. The one after the choji fights
-
I just finished the main story mode yesterday, haven't touched the online or side quests yet, and so far it's been pretty good. Some of the chapters in the middle do feel unnecessarily long and the Kushina cutscenes feel like they could rival Metal gear solid. The last few chapters however that covered the war converted something that I hated in the manga into my favourite section of the game. All the boss fight cutscene/quick time events look really cool and the fights don't feel dragged out.
When I reached the last chapter that's when the game really started kicking my ass. I chose 'Legend' for every option and it started with the 'kaeges Vs Madara' fight where I started having to constantly retry fights. The Naruto Vs the 6 Jinchurinki fight was insane I died so many times in that fight! In the end I finally realised that I had to prioritise who to kill first because some will end up locking you in their combos. I think my ranking in all 4 fights in the last chapter were pretty terrible and the bonus requirements for the fights, of keeping your health above 60% are impossible.
So far I really like the game and like the last instalment it has reinstalled my love for Naruto (which Kishimoto is sure to once again gradually kill) and I'm excited to get into some online

seriously, that went on for days. I understand they wanted to tell that part of the story well but man it was a bit much. Im saddened that killer bee's fight with kisame wasnt more flashy, or that his sword cant even become fully unwrapped, yet we get 5 minutes of kushina dragging herself over to a cabinet.
-
Most of the last chapter cut-scenes I just skipped 'cause I felt pissed not being able to play as the Edo Kage. First I thought you'd fight the Kage musou style paired with a group of Zetsus but those were legitimate 1v1 battles. The opponents clearly had playable movesets and yet we can't use them. Fuck that.
A few notes about the last chapter's fights:
- dealing with the six Jinchuuriki at once was a huge pain in the ass. Of course I also chose the legend route option but they kicked my ass the first four times until finally, at the fifth time, I figured out that it's best to call Bee and just smash into a group of enemies. That way the most damage can be dealt without the opponents having the chance to lock you into one of their combined combos. Oh and quickly kill Roshi (the magma dude) since his field attacks are the most tiresome ones. Rank S
- next should be KM Naruto against the Bijuu themselves. That (and the following) fight don't let you use ninja items so I couldn't heal back up and screwed up the rank. The fight itself was alright. The Hachibi assists you and you basically have to get close up to the opponents and combo the hell out of 'em. Ooh and occasionally you fight Obito as well. Rank D
- the following battles once again proved that Naruto's not a ninja manga anymore. Gigantic creatures battle each other arena-style and destroy the environment doing so. It's you as the Kyuubi vs the other seven Bijuu; one after the other this time though. You have to dodge their attacks and attack when given the chance. That way keeping the 60% health bonus requirement worked just fine until the last one- the flying fucking butterfly- decided to switch its attack pattern and kick my ass into the red health zone. Rank D
- the last battle is against Obito again. Successful QT events plus a few combos and there we go – 100% health and Rank S
All in all I got rank B for the last chapter and missed the trophy (both A and S). But it was a fun ride though and like I said, easily better than Storm Generations. Gonna write more stuff once I find something worth writing about.

Part of me thinks I've never left that Kushina cutscene. I could still be in my apartment a couple of days in the past and have been driven insane by length and boredom waiting for an end that will never come.
-
That Kushina cutscene was too draggy but I understand since it's the entire point of the plot
(past to present, even during the epilogue)
Finally beat the game. I won because I decided to just go ahead and put my ninja tools to good use.
Have a good healing ninja item at the top, a chakra healing at the left, subsitution one at the right and max def at the bottom.
Ate an attack max bento too and it was way easier than me taking them alone.
The bee method didn't work for me because his recharging took too long and by then the magma dude would be spamming already.
I only use him to finish them off while I charge my chakra.
Also, i did all this without knowing how to change my lock-on…I only read yesterday that it's r3..i thought the game said that you would lock on whoever is closest to you. Got a D.The 2nd one, where you fight tailed beasts took me by surprise because my hp is down to orange.
Manage to barely survive, the key here is to take down the blue one first, spamming him with attacks, while
being alert whenever the turtle starts to roll(block,sub).
Tobi jumps in sometimes but he's meh.
Then KS naruto gets to fight more Bijuu, can't heal here and I don't want to resort to screwing up my rank so I jump back in
again and again, they are really a pain in the ass but somehow managed to finish them.
(You just have to know who to attack first, the left one most of the times and spam Bee whenever. Chakra shruiken helps alot too)
Got a B for this one.The final one with controlling Daruma, that was intense because you would think that he would be so awesome and powerful, but not really.
It was annoying because of the unpredictability of some of the tailed beasts.
Just remember to dodge at the right time, defend just before their attacks him, and get in close when they miss or when you block.
Oh and charge, alot. For the giant bomb that pulverizes an entire bar of hp.
Got another D for this one.Last battle was sweet and a walk in the park. S'd it.
Total resulted me in a D. Yeah...could had been better but I'm just glad that was over with.
-
Can someone tell me why the frame rate is so terrible in this game? Every time I play online in Storm 3 the FPS drops so much it's unplayable. They need to patch this or do something about it because it's bullshit… I'm playing on PS3 btw
-
You're not the only one. I've been constantly unable to sub right or chakra dash rightly because of the frame drop.
It was very noticeable in the final battle too.
So I opt to just play offline until a patch is out. -

6 hours of Floe and Justin Wong commentating on a 32-man CPU naruto ultimate ninja storm 3 tournament. I watched it live, shit was godlike. Floe doesn't know shit about Naruto, and makes his picks based off the half-truths Justin tells him about the characters. For example, he picked the 1st Hokage over Gaara, because Justin told him the 1st Hogake was "the original ninja". When it turned out his powers was controlling wood, and Gaara starts dominating, Floe gets pissed that he was "tricked" into picking such a shitty character.
Highlights include Floe declaring that Zabuza is on a mission to kill all the Narutos, Kimimaro Gambit glitching the stage, Bee vs Kisame grudge match for the sword, Hanzo opening with raw super three times in a row, 9-Tails Naruto's upset defeat, Shino vs Sage Naruto, and basically the entire quarterfinals. really funny commentary if you know anything about traditional fighting games, but still probably enjoyable for anyone.

I just did this as well. I have no idea why the edo kages aren't playable but it was annoying me, at least up until the madar fight which was so awesome i forgot about them.
Concerning the last fight i didn't think the first part was as hard, i chose the legend option and only failed once right at the end. You just rasengan the shit out of everyone but i got a D.
Fuck the second part. Can't heal yourself, fight 2 tailed beats at a time and fuck the 7 tails. Pissed me off both in and out of form. I got a D.
The next to fights however i enjoyed. I died once to the 7 tails in part 3 but the second way through i did all without losing much health and got a S.
And against tobi i just went all out and ended up with an S, getting an A overall.I never played generations but you know, i think the ending was good. It's probably what kishimoto should have done because it now makes sense why naruto would have his chakra back. And that tease X(. I really wanted obito or sage kabuto in this :/

I wonder if CC2 will show any sort of reaction to the fans' pleas. I've seen some websites collecting petitions for edo kage, kinkaku/ginkaku and seven swordsmen of the mist DLC so fans are serious about it. The question is whether it will be enough to make the people in charge realize that there's such a big demand from the fans.

I read this on a forum, its a namco rep answering a facebook question about this basically saying it wasnt gonna happen unfortunately
"the game doesn't have a structure that allows us to add extra characters afterwards.
The only possible DLC are extra costumes, extra characters are impossible."

Butterfly bijuu is the only obstacle on my way to the platinum trophy. That flying piece of fuck prevented me from getting a good enough score to reach an overall S (only got A in the last boss battle this time). All the other ones are a piece of cake but that one flying bastard is annoying the living hell out of me. Just you wait, Nanabi, I shall come for you soon enough.
-
I have seen the walkthrough (the most exciting ones) and I must say that Cyberconnect actually manages to make the 4th ninja war look awesome… which is not an easy feat.
The studio better make some One Piece game considering how the anime is butchering classic scenes. Heck, I bitch about QTE (interactive movie) but give me a rengoku onigiri by Cyber connect anytime.

I fucking hated that one. It's ridiculous.

Yeah that one was easily the most annoying. The fact that you cant even reach it to cause damage when your just naruto is so bad, topped along with it shooting blasts at you the whole time just sucks. The only way i beat it as naruto was to take out the gorilla first, and then just spam the big shuriken at the bug as much as possible, and wait for bee's support to recharge inbetween then. But overall those last battles are ridiculous, i hated having to start over if i lost to them as well.

It's not even that it's particularly difficult as the opponents aren't that powerful to begin with. It's just that having to face those annoying attack patterns makes it ridiculously hard to keep your health bar over 60% all the time. But I guess it has to be difficult otherwise it wouldn't feel satisfying to earn the trophy right?
Let's change the topic to something more positive. Out of the new characters, which ones did you guys like best? Which ones were the most fun to play with? Or even, by whom were you dissatisfied/disappointed?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I fucking hated that one. It's ridiculous.

This game looks certified gonna have to check it out. Big roster and lots of content but the latest trailer already was ahead of the anime. Hope that doesn't cause spoil anything.

Beat the story and overall I liked it I particularly like how Kakashi and Zabuza got the boss battle they didn't get in Storm 1. Though I found it odd when Kakashi mentioned why Zabuza failed to beat him in the last fight which seemed to have a retconned explanation. And whoever designed the first and third parts of The "Last Battle" on Legend can eat a dick.

Last battle again.

I love how Deidara still has his infinite combo ready to be abused by smart-ass players. I also enjoyed having some players show how semi worthless the tweaked substitution jutsu is

KABUTO SENNIN CONFIRMED !!!

how interesting can't say I honestly expected DLC

how interesting can't say I honestly expected DLC
Its weird how the HQ scans for everything else is out, but the Storm 3 Stuff is cut.
Is there a reason for that anyone? Just Curious, because I wouldn't mind translating it and subbing the scan, and I can't find the HQ Vers.
-
Guess that means I'll be playing the game again soon.

I hope they put out some patches alongside that DLC cause damn them if they don't.
