  I am a Master Ninja.

  
  
  Wow. I finally did it. I wanted to quit this game right after Chapter 2 due to the crazy difficulty and so many fights before you even come to the first save point. The first 3 chapters were by far the hardest in the game, everything after that was cake until chapter 11. I even made a video of it, Check it out!

  I don't think you guys understand how difficult this was. So I'm going to make a little comparison with another hard game. Everyone knows the Devil May Cry games are difficult on the upper levels. The hardest difficulty in DMC3 is the equivalent of Mentor on Ninja Gaiden 2. And I beat it on Mentor AND Master Ninja which is twice as hard. Scary, isn't it?

  Check out my new gamerpic!
  
  

  Now for some math. According to MyGamerCard.net there are 621 people with the same gamerpic as me. The only way to obtain it is to beat Master Ninja. So there are atleast 621 people who have beaten Master Ninja and connected to XBL. Let's add half of that for the people who don't have XBL, now there are 932 people who have beaten Master Ninja. On August 28th Ninja Gaiden 2 has confirmed to sell over 1 million copies. That is very surprising considering NG2 is the type of game that gives the middle finger to casual gamers. This is of course all hypotheticals and there are way to many variables to consider. With some research I am estimating only 932 out of the 1 million+ have beaten Master Ninja. I am now part of that .9%. Talk about being in the minority...

  There are TONS of exploits in this game like Save Glitching and some other stuff that the "pros" do like sit around for hours farming Essence until they have 500,000. I only ran from a couple of fights that were totally unfair BUT I NEVER once farmed for Karma because that is technically cheating while running from fights you can't handle isn't. Even the darn leaderboards are glitched. The #1 gamertag is some dude with 99999999 Karma. Are you kidding me? Way to ruin a perfectly good game.

  I really wish Team Ninja delayed the game a few months more so It could be perfectly polished like NGB was. The overkill of IS and off-screen projectiles will really piss some people. I can understand off-screen projectiles but IS is perfectly fair and can be countered by spamming certain moves like the Izuna Drop and On-Land Ultimate Techniques.

  What's next? Well I'm probably going to just relax with some weapon runs of Mentor. Hopefully, I will get to finish Tales of Vesperia and GTA4 before Banjo, Gears 2, and Prince of Persia come out.

  Here's my final stats:
  Difficulty: Path of the Master Ninja
  Deaths: 880...
  Karma: 24000000
  Favourite Weapons: Lunar Staff, True Dragon Sword and Falcon's Talons
  Favourite Move: Lunar Staff 360UT (So cool and insanely powerful)
  Total Time of ALL Modes: 118 Hours
  
  I, Aljosa23, am a Master Ninja.

  Victory is so close I can taste it.

  This is it ladies and gentlemen. To anyone who reads my blogs, they know I have a Love/Hate relationship with Ninja Gaiden 2 (Aka The Devil's Game). I have currently been playing my butt off this past week. And guess what?

  I have somehow made it to Chapter 11. By FAAAR the hardest level, on the hardest difficulty, of the hardest game released this generation (possibly ever). I can taste Victory on the tip of my tongue. I can smell Victory and it smells of Coca Cola and BBQ Fritos. I am expecting to beat this game by Wednesday at the latest. And as you know, I have a YouTube page and I post videos almost daily, so please subscribe to me.

  Be prepared for an EPIC blog post the day I achieve victory and can FINALLY retire NG2 and finish up Tales of Vesperia and GTAIV.

  I have walked almost walked the Path of the Master Ninja and lived to tell about it.

  Fin.
