NG4 is crap; the new trash main character is a younger version of Raiden (Metal Gear Rising Revengeance), he even has a super mode that is similar to Raiden's ripper mode, the music is an inferior version of the heavy metal in MGR R; for some reason Platinum Games decided to give Ryu some of Raiden's animations even though they could have easily used Ryu's animations from the ninja gaiden master collection; when you play has Ryu, you will have to go through the same levels as the trash new protagonist did and fight the same bosses too, and to top it all off Platinum Games ruined the combat by making it focus a lot more on parries like in MGR R, in NG4 combos are less important than ever.
