Vapor_N4 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Online Pass confirmed. I buy 99% of my games "new" even though sometimes I may wait for a price drop. I just don't like when online passes prevent me from playing on multiple screen names or how I can no longer take a game to a friends house so they can check it out. GameFly: Ninja Gaiden 3 to require online pass | Joystiq GameFly: Ninja Gaiden 3 to require online pass by David Hinkle on Mar 6th 2012 2:35PM To become a ninja, one must learn -- the deadly arts of war, for example. Or how to wear those weird socks. Stuff like that. You can't be any geek off the street, and so Tecmo-Koei has decided to lock the online multiplayer of Ninja Gaiden 3 behind an online pass. So says a listing on Gamefly warning potential renters of Ninja Gaiden 3, anyway. Update: It's confirmed! Ninja Gaiden 3 will have an online pass, a Tecmo Koei representative has confirmed with Joystiq. Note: This game requires a Tecmo Koei Online Pass code to access online content. The Online Pass code is included with purchase, but not with rental of this title. Edited March 6, 2012 by Vapor_N4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksoldier365 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 From a business viewpoint its a brilliant move. They know they f***ed up the SP, so basically the MP is the heart of this game. By limiting the online MP this forces us trophy hunters to purchase the full game or the stupid code on PSN. What assholes Tecmo Koei are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think going forward Sony requires them on games developed by studios they own (Naughty Dog, Guerilla, Insomniac, etc), but I believe other publishers are free to do as they please. Binary Domain just came out and that doesn't have an online pass. Edited March 6, 2012 by Vapor_N4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CogniVision Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 My only problem with Online Passes is like Vapor said when they prevent you from playing on different screen names. User locked online passes is fucking thievery. If it's system locked I have no problem with it. Another thing is, this game better be run on fucking servers if you want people to pay for the online. Seriously... if it's just using my connection to host games you should be paying me to play online since my connection is the one hosting your online bitches.

This is true NGS2 is s..t for online. NINJA GAIDEN LAG 2 lol. Hope 3 have dedicated server. 4 vs 4 and no servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINAS3 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Guess we can start expecting this from all of the Tecmo titles... I personally get all my stuff new/sealed whatever yet I still find online passes to be a fucking annoyance and a blight on this gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake307 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I was going to try out Ninja Gaiden 3 but after hearing about this I pretty much put this game in my boycott list. Even without it I wouldn't be getting it anyway because of the direction they were going with this game apparently. Tecmo Koei, you disappoint.

If it's no dedicated server it will all be up to the host's connection. So if you end up in a room with a shitty host, be prepared for lag session. Hopefully if they not doing dedicated it will at least still be a lobby system like on NGS2 that let you see connection signal or ping before you join. Except with a more ACCURATE connection detector since NGS2's one was basically just for show. You could join a red connection and be smooth as hell, yet join a blue optimal connection and lag like shit. In NGS2 you just had to join whatever room and cross your fingers.
