..................No, they are not. I actually bought one of these games a while back ago and all I had to do was hit one button to pull off several combos. BlazBlue is much better and much more satisfying.
"Because people are morons"
Then you wonder why the ending is never changed or Kishimoto thinks we love NH so much because people buy these games like morons saying "Hey, we may be mad at the ending, but we will still buy your crap."
No wonder we get mediocre stories and garbage for video games now....because people don't know to just not buy when it does come out. Meanwhile great games like Psychonauts gets passed up because it isn't hardcore enough.
I actually like the Storm Games, 3 being my favorite so far. I think how they did Naruto's birth and Minato and Kushina's deaths was one of the best version of that backstory and the boss fight were in there then in the show which just drag on. Also that game made me like Darui too and I can beat the kitten out of Hinata as Sakura all I want to. Can't for Storm 4 and beat on Hinata but Bolt too.
