Bad point because look at Karin. Besides Kagura's Eye and enhance chakra sensing abilities at the time, we didn't know any moveset available for her via Kishimoto. But then, CC2 gave her some originality with Taijutsu-melee attacks mixed in some ninja tools and a "poisonous" perfume spray.

Kushina is the not only character that has something: (chakra-chains anyone? You can go somewhere with that as a moveset). There's more: Omoi and Karui. For some reason, especially in the recent chapters, Kishimoto kept them up and front (he even gave Omoi a chapter with an element affinity to boot) and yet CC2 didn't do jiggly-squat with them. What happened to the creativity? Lightning-sword based attacks and regular sword-based combat isn't THAT hard to make.

Absolutely. I cannot understand how they could be so blind to not see the massive hype for Kushina. Especially since this was announced after RtN. If they were smart enough, they would've at least announced her for DLC/unlockables. Not only that, sealing jutsus are actually quite unique in that it can take any shape or form. Also, it is implied to be the only ninja art that has the most applications.

So, going by that, there should've been lots of stuff they could do with Kushina. Besides that, Kushina is very much a brawler-type like her son, so I don't get why they couldn't give her Taijutsu movesets. They certainly could've copied over Naruto's taijutsu.

Creativity died a horrible death. CC2 murdered it.

So true.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I saw the ending in order to believe that the ending is original. Turns out it is. While the timing is bad, cause you know, the war is still on, I do admit I like the scene. Not the "runaway" part, that's really out of place. I mean the part when Naruto woke up. Sakura was the first one to see Naruto after he's been away for a while, and she was really happy as Naruto did his usual smile in front of Sakura. Too bad, because everyone in the village now noticed and gathered around him. But Sakura got to talk to him and they have this Minato and Kushina watching Naruto. I thought it was nice. Still, should have wait until the arc ended. Now they really make it seem like:

1) Arc truly ends and hard to get back in.

2) Really making NaruSaku like an inevitable pairing (I'm not arguing but got to give others hopes, man!)

Hm, it would seem main story favors NS while side missions favor well, whatever you wanted to do with Naruto. How ironic. Find out what's ironic and you deserve a rep. Anyway, I still don't like what they did in terms of overall package, but I have to play to fully judge it.

Wait, you saw the ending? So, what, the ending of Storm 3 veers far away from the actual manga? Is it majorly AU-ish or does it still follow canon?

[soraandven]

meh i don't mind it the fact that cc2 made sakura say that shes outspoken and confident was good enough for me and yes i know she added ino in there but her and ino have the same personality so what can ya do besides im sure there is side missions with ns goodness in them

Canon up to a point and then veers away. Basically the alliance wins, the Kages stop Madara and Naruto stops Obito but Obito escapes everyone goes back to their villages, war over, job well done. No Ten Tails etc

There is apparently a brief post game fight you can do which is Sasuke entering the war and running into Itachi like in canon but I get the feeling they wanted this to be the final Naruto game of this console generation and didn't want to do a cliffhanger.

Agreed. Kushina as a support at least would have been awesome. I mean you can put her in her RtN outfit. How hard is that...Sheesh.

Wait, you saw the ending? So, what, the ending of Storm 3 veers far away from the actual manga? Is it majorly AU-ish or does it still follow canon?

Yes, I saw it. I got curious and so, I saw it. It's an ending. Tobi got away, so the battle is over but the war has begun. It's odd because the aftermath I would accept, but not how they stopped the battle. Again, it's nice to MinaKushi watching Naruto as Sakura approached to him. Just wish maybe they should have waited until the arc actually ends.

I also have another question. For future Naruto games that go farther in the story, are they still going to be on PS3 or is it switching to PS4 now? I'd like to know because this determines whether I should get a PS4 or not.

Yes it will most likely switch but probably not anytime soon. PS3 was released at the end of 2006 but the 1st PS3 Naruto game Storm 1 wasn't released til the end of 2008 so I doubt there will be any rush.

On the topic of next gen I wonder what they will look like, when Storm 1 was first announced they had some "screenshots" which soon became apparent were just target renders, way above what Storm 1 eventually ended up looking like and I think the Storm series looks pretty fantastic as is but nowhere near the level of the target renders. I'll see if I can track them down.

edit: Found em




Yeah that's way better looking, that's the anime in playable form, it just makes me want another Part 1 game, like one with these level of graphics, something akin to the Storm combat and the exploration form Rise of a Ninja, that would be amazing.

Not surprised. I wish they could for once create a gaming system that can play both the previous type and the new kind. At least that way, I wouldn't have to spend too much money. Good to know though, guess I'm getting a PS4 at some point.

i see narusaku in those moments

[Codus N]

Now that the complaints of the game are out of the way, it's time to complain about the manga

My big beef with Kishi here is.... why the hell couldn't Kishi have made Choji vs Gedo Mazo exactly like the game?? I mean, seriously. I felt that it was way better than what Kishi actually did. Seeing Choji "defeating" (when we know it was just being summoned back) GM was probably one of my favorite moments in the game. And then seeing Choji being cheered on by the whole alliance after defeating it really felt like seeing a true war hero in the making.

We see right there and then, how the little kid that was constantly bullied and was considered outcast has gone on to become one of Konoha's greatest heroes in history. It really speaks volumes of his growth.

[soraandven]

sigh... you guys still have beef with kishi huh just relax yeah storm 3 handled alot of the story meterial better then kishi my personal favorite being the naruto birth story chapter but understand the games have a habit of twisting the plot

[soraandven]

oh and since the vid has not been posted yet watch this ns ftw

[TouKen4Life3g]

oh and since the vid has not been posted yet watch this ns ftw

No worries. People like to wish things and I don't blame them. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Btw, that's the one I saw. The funny thing is the game got glitched though the user did say something about it. You'll see what I mean.

He's probably referring to the fact that Sakura was the first to notice Naruto was awake in the end. She also goes to reprimand him on his recklessness, as you would expect from her.

Even if the game studio goes to make Naruto act ooc during side mission by claiming he prefers shy girls, they still make him have this closeness towards Sakura that you would expect more from Hinata is she's his destined love interest.

As discussed before, I think people back there are more of Hinata fans than NaruHina.

CC2 are Hinata's fan in a closet sort of way. In the old games, they did have an extra character for her as similar to Neji's move set. It's been a while that they have her some sort of treatment. Storm 2 didn't really help much, though she did get a side mission that's similar to the third game. The funny thing is Naruto never understood her in both games. While you can say it's out of place for that decision to be made, but the fact is he didn't even know what the hell was going on. It's been like that for almost of CC2 games. I have played them all and I can say it without hesitation.

That said the side mission is what it is: a side mission. That's why I find it ironic. The fan service stuff is in side mission, while main mission is, well, important. Ever since part 2 began, they have been favoring NS for the longest. In the old days, well they pretty much make a game based on Naruto. Nothing more, nothing less. I think the game that really favor the most is the latest PSP game, probably because they have almost every NS moments, with a small twist here and there. Oddly enough, most of them ends with NS related. Storm 2 ends with the hug or after credit, him and and the team move out. Storm Generations, they included the bridal save in the credit roll. Storm 3 is what you see. Impact for PSP ends with Naruto and Sakura walking home together. It doesn't help that Nintendo games makes it worse. Sadly, this game may have the least ad side missions may be the only way to get more NS moments. The reason is because this game only covers two arcs. Last game covers 5. So yeah, pretty much this game does in a way feels like Generations 2 with a story mode.

Oh, about the glitch, at the ending, you see random shots of nowhere. There's suppose to be something, but it glitched. You can tell.
