Pick one.

More like Ninja Gaiden imo

Strider 1 (as well as it's spin offs) just consist of walking right and button mashing. Sure, you jump occasionally, but it's just a constant onslaught of random enemies that barely pose a threat. It's shit
Strider 2 and the new one are both just bad games. They have such great controls and moves that you can do, but the levels are sparse and uninteresting, and it's the same onslaught of harmless enemies as the original games.
5 fucking games in this series, and the ALL suck ass. Good Work Crapcom...
Strider is amazing. Sadly I don't have anything to say about the unequivocally good ones, and instead want to mention the oddball: the NES version, which is totally different and buggy as fuck, but holds a special place in my heart. I wish there were more games like it.

The whole game is anticlimatic, because aside from the acrobatic gimimcks, the gameplay isn't that good. I would have preferred they ported Willow to the Genesis instead of Strider 2bh.
/vr/ = /v/ 2.0
>>3095531
What in this thread makes you say that?
>>3094610
>he can't appreciate the storyline and exploration element of the NES game
Having it clip and stutter when you try to walk up a sloped floor is a feature, I swear
>>3095480
I don't think the gen could handle willow, otoh (on the other hand) they ported wardner which is better.

This thread is like a torrent of bad opinions, lmao.

What the hell did you people smoke?

I smoke LUCKY STRIKES.
It's Toasted for crying out loud!
>>3095802
Clearly ninja gaiden ripoff in that pic.
>>3095805
for you
>>3095764
If it could handle Strider it should have no problems with Willow, aside from, maybe just level 5's boss.
And Wardner's powerup system is nowhere near as cool 2bh.
honk honk! GOAT musical intro coming through!

Never heard of that place. Is it post-1999?
How do I walk down steep hills like Strider Hiryu?
how did they get away with some many soviet union references.
>>3095531
More like 3.0
>>3095903
can you make these caps a little bigger pls
Strider 2 is over quickly before you realize it and the game rarely shows off what its capable of with its mechanics thanks to boring level design and the incredibly short length of every area. You can clear most areas in less than 30 seconds.
Strider 1 isn't as refined in terms of controls, but it at the very least holds up thanks to some strong level design and levels not being bite sized.
[spoilerDon'tWorkOn/vr/]I personally enjoyed Strider 2014[/spoiler]
>>3095953yes they do
>>3095958I'm thinking of /toy/. My bad
>you will never be a high-tech ninja riding brontosauruses in the Amazonian Jungle, fighting mecha T-Rexes and gorillas, and taking on the second coming of the Soviet Union

For how much it gets shit on, the PC-CD version does have some great renditions of the music

The original Strider is GOAT.
Somehow underrated, ahead of its time when Sega dropped it. Strider Hiryu up there with Ryu Hayabusa and Shinobi in legend

Gameplay's a bit middling, but the art direction was incredible, even compared to other Capcom releases at the time.
>>3095771
>What the hell did you people smoke?
I smoke the thing where in NG you fight with a sword and hang on walls and in NG2 you even have shadow doubles and sword extension power ups, whereas in Shinobi you mostly shoot stuff at a range
Granted Strider is different from either but how is it more similar to Shinobi at all
>>3094501
Could have been amazing, but instead:
> Piss easy difficulty
> Loading screen every 10-15 steps
>>3094501
Strider 2 is pretty great ( reminds me of what would become MMZ which is also great) the first one has its '80s charm but I wouldn't reccomend.

Sound design in Strider was fucking amazing.

I also thought the gameplay is great.
>>3094501
Pretty great taste, famalan.
>>3099595
No doubt it was amazing on many levels, visually, sound, level design, gravity mechanics, enemy design, ect.
Despite the initial shitposting and crap opinions, this thread has come full circle.
