How come theres never been a Naruto game that had the spirit

you want a "strategy" fighting game with traps and weapons and counters
got an example?

>>388724991
fireaxis. i could do with an Xcom naruto.
would work too, engine already supports, buffs, AOE, melee and range attacks, cover, and has reactions etc. built in so you could even set up a sort of replacement jutsu bullshit.. etc.

>>388724991
What the fuck I was just watching this fight yesterday

>>388725394

Recommend me the closest thing in existance to an XCOM Naruto game pls

>>388725519
Stop after the Pain fight. Do yourself a favor before the series becomes DBZ levels of powerlevel shittery with fucking eye magic

>>388725270
A naruto game that doesnt exist. Pity

MOST people agree the Chunin Exams is the show's highest point

While we're on the subject, what are some god-tier Naruto games that aren't the Storm games?

People in here pretending everyone would stay fucking dumb forever. The meta changes.

>>388727676
Yeah, they are good, but man, they are just over hype too. Lee and Might Guy make every fight good no matter what. Even against filler.
I'm not going to sit here an say lee beating sauske wasn't cool, and might guy bitch slapping the uchiha family wasn't good.

>>388727724
Who cares? They all play like fucking DBZ Budokai. A real naruto game would be strategy based

>>388727724
The GBA sidescroller is pretty good, but just as a regular video game and not Naruto.

It's part 1 only and you unlock Lee by beating it, too.

>HURR WHY SHOULD A SERIES THAT GOT FAMOUS FOR TACTICS AND NINJA CUNNING NOT CHANGE INTO LITERALLY JUST DRAGON BALL Z DURRRRR

>>388724991
You don't have any idea how much effort a game like that would take to be made.
Wasted effort, because people would eventually pirate it because it's too "boring" for the average player.

>>388727970
When was this series famous for tactics and ninja cunning?

Same reason that even with VR controllers we wont see a dynamic martial arts game for a long time. Too many variables.

Can we all agree this series would be better if this faggot was killed off early or relegated to a subrole like the rest of the 9? I lose interest in everything related to him.
Also, Itachi did nothing wrong.

>>388727970

Well the answer is is that it becomes harder to plan actual strategic battles when you have an 1000+ chapter series.

If Naruto was short and planned to only be 500 chapters or so, it would be possible maybe.

>>388727964
Naruto>Naruto Shippuden
Dragonball>Dragonball Z
One Piece (pre-time skip)>One Piece (post-time skip)

Shonen stories shouldn't last twelve years. They should end sooner.

From the fucking beginning nigga

>>388728136
The whole thing should've been about team 9 or 10 as lead characters.

>>388725675
Stop before the Pain fight. Pain loses because Naruto gives him a power of friendship speech. Not to mention Pain undoing all the death and destruction he caused before that moment.

It's what made me finally drop Naruto for good and only started reading it again once I heard about the trainwreck of a final arc.

>>388724991
Hunter X Hunter are much better

>>388728136
kys piece of shit. Sasuke, and all Uchihas for that matter, is why Naruto is even good to begin with

>>388725595
Shadow Tactics is probably the closest there is, but it's not really like XCOM that much, and the ninjas are less magic and more murderous.

Why is there always a thread created when I begin something? Just started Naruto a few days ago. The whole Zabuza fight and how it ended on the bridge was pretty good, I can see why people like this.

I think Naruto games would make much more sense if they went further down the Smash road not the CGI supers road - Narutimate games kinda started on both, latest games went down the latter.

These two were literally dragon ball characters, but they couldn't fire a single beam. Well maybe, even that's debatable.

I'll be honest, that's the best it ever gets.

Although some of the Chuunin exam arc is good too.

>>388727856

I just finished the prelim exams and now going on to the 1 month wait before the final exam, which probably means mostly fillers. Gaara vs Lee was really great.

>>388728971
what enjoyment do you get out of trying to bait?
its sad

>>388729096
Keep going until it loses its grip on you, I know it did for me. And in case you are watching anime, keep in mind, at one point it caught up to manga and they had to make shit up on the fly, and it was terrible.

>>388729072
But he's not wrong. After the Pain arc, it turns into DBZ levels of bullshit powerups. It was sprinkled here and there throughout the series but they kick it up to the 11th level.

The Pain arc is where they last gave a shit at creating an interesting power up, Sage Form. Beyond that it's just Naruto literally turning Super Saiyan.

Naruto chuunin exams and the subsequent powerlevel nonsense reminds me of WoW ulduar and how nothing came close to its quality afterwards.
Both took a lot of effort from the creator and they realize theres much less work intensive approaches they could take in the future.

If anybody is that serious about watching Shippuden, don't. Read it instead. The pacing in the anime is fucking garbage. Especially at the start.

>>388729345
>The Pain arc is where they last gave a shit at creating an interesting power up, Sage Form. Beyond that it's just Naruto literally turning Super Saiyan.

Never heard a truer statement on this series. Fuck, why didnt they just focus on sage mode? The wait time to power up was actually intense.

I miss when ninja tools were effectively used in Naruto. Now it's all about bloodline traits and eye jutsus.

Also it's a shame that the show treated Rock Lee like shit. He was easily the best character on the show that actually tried but all his effort got shat on by bloodlines and gimmicks. Also Guy came very close to killing Madara through sheer physical prowess alone, but once again bloodlines ruin everything. Now Guy is a cripple for life, never got laid or a gf, and people barely acknowledge what he did.

>>388724991
How would you make Shikimaru work? Literally every arena would have to be perfectly designed to balance his one shotting. How would you do clone stuff which isn't just a swarm attack? - you can't just ask the player to manipulate that many bodies. Even in a turn based game the number of inputs would slow things to a crawl. Gaara's whole thing is that his spirit auto blocks attacks - that's not fun to play as. Neji's vision skills just don't translate into something you could actually use.

tl;dr the skills are fun but they aren't designed for a videogame

>>388729584
>tfw literally no decent Might Guy statues available to purchase anywhere
Waifu and lolifags were a mistake.

>>388729584
It pisses me off that Naruto and Sasuke got replacement arms when they lost theirs while Guy got jack shit.

>>388729813
Just get a Bruce Lee figure

>>388729893
Only winners get replacement limbs, he lost the only fight that mattered in a kamikaze attack that his government stopped sanctioning halfway through WW2.

>>388729584
Are the 8 gates still relevant and a force to be reckoned with? Or is it like a fly against a wall with all the powers now? That was THE most potential looking thing in the show for me. besides Neji's and Hinata's fighting style to attack chakra directly

>>388729584
>Guy is still a virgin
Holy kek

>>388729584
I don't think Naruto's world is built well. It is barely explained how technology is integrated into the world. The characters are using walkie-talkies but mangaka never elaborates on it and it never gets anywhere. DBZ level power ups was just the easiest way to go.

>>388730279
Nobody won in the Sasuke vs Naruto fight yet they still got replacement arms.

>>388728251
The final arc had one good redeeming moment, and that was Might Guy opening all the gates.

>>388730446
>draw
>results in happy ending
>old problems are settled

This is technically a win. Might Guy crippled himself in what amounted to a really good light show. Nothing was settled, and problems were made worse. No limbs for him.

Guy beating Madara would have actually been the best possibly outcome for that arc. You can still have the stupid alien bloodline garbage, have Naruto and Sasuke fight one last time and finish the Obito vs Kakashi. But having Guy finish off Madara would have been incredible. To have a villain who is so pumped up on magical bloodlines, tail powered demons and kooky crazy eyeballs finally get put down not by somebody with the same bullshit power ups, but by a guy who wasn't good at most ninja skills so he devoted his entire life to the one aspect he was good at. Beating the shit out of people through force.

Would of left a nice message to other ninja kids that you can do anything as long as you're determined and train very hard. Inherited skills be damned.

But of course that's not what happened.

>>388730703
This is how it really ended in my own head cannon, and many others.

>>388730703
Plus having the nicest, chillest, best bro character in the entire show (except maybe for Jiraiya or Asuma) beating Madara would've been great.

>>388730641
Draw means nobody wins, everyone loses. The whole fight was pointless in retrospect. They could have talked it out like human beings but no let's fight each other until we both lose our arms.

>>388729345
it was always "powerups" you retard
thats how these things work
character starts as a pleb that can only beat other plebs
character becomes powerful enough that he can beat pleb's boss
character becomes powerful enough that he can beat whole squad of bosses
.....
character becomes powerful enough that he can beat bosses' gods

thats how it was and how it will always be
if you dislike it, stop watching
just stop trying to spread your shitty opinion as if its a fact

> The Pain arc is where they last gave a shit at creating an interesting power up, Sage Form. Beyond that it's just Naruto literally turning Super Saiyan

Motherfucker, Sennin Mode is basically SSJ.
Bijuu Mode is like SSJ4 or so.

>>388730703
I would've been fine with Guy losing if the characters at least gave him the proper respect he deserves. He got no medals, no honorary position within the village leaf government, no money for his pain and suffering, no statue or monument to his taijutsu skills, not even a hug from a girl. All that pretty much happen was Kakashi saying "good job" before he fucked off being hokage and stealing all the spotlight.

>>388731092
Yes, thank you for explaining how Shonen series work.

It was obviously in there from the start but my point is that it accelerates to an extreme past the Pain arc.

>>388730295
Guy opened them and almost wrecked madara bullshitiwa six path sage mode +10 ssj4 with nuckles until some bullshit eye jutsu

>>388724991
>with fights that actually took thinking

the first season is not as good as you remember, trust me. I went back and watched it all due to nostalgia, the pacing was so utterly shit up until the sandniggas attack on the village that it made me question why I was nostalgic of it in the first place.

sasuke sucks

>>388732048
I ranted about this on /a/ recently, basically all the episodes start with a long ass 5 minute recap of the last episode, and have 6-7 minutes of flashbacks using clips directly ripped from previous episodes sprinkled throughout. Thats half the episode dedicated to shit you've already seen. it was around the chunin exams that they started to actually make new clips for the flashbacks but the recaps were still a bit too long in the first say half of that arc. And dont forget the god damn recap episode in the middle of the chunin exams, just before the forest exam.

>>388731792
What if I read it instead of watching it?

>>388732580
That's why it's better to just read the manga. They don't waste your time with filler or flashback recaps.

Only Pain fight worth is vs Jiraya, after that skip to the war for Kabuto and then Madara vs Guy and then the last fight if you actually enjoyed all of this and want a bit of closure.

Zabuza's death in the manga was really sad
I wish they nailed it more in the anime

Man just accept naruto isn't about ninjas anymore and enjoy some wizard battles.

>>388730703
Agreed. It would have been a breath of a fresh air if somebody normal just kicked a doped up bloodline power freaks ass once in Naruto. But I guess they didn't want to end the show early because of that since that would mean less money

>>388724991
Imagine a Naruto mod for Divinity Original Sin 2
