Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Connections Is A Disappointment... | Review 

Yes

Lol

I kinda zoned out during that part of the video, and that delivery was so jarring it got my attention again lol So yes

Nah, I was prepared for this because it wasn't a numbered entry. A lot of people tend to forget about Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations and Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution

No

yep i thought that's what they gonna do with story mode but they somehow fuck this up

And not to mention they censored the blood out of the games for sone reason

And they didn’t even do that, where Sakura vs Sasori, Tsunade vs manda, any non Naruto vs sasuke boss fight

Yes, a completely stupid concept, they could've done Boruto Kara Arc instead of Special Story, and called it Storm 5. The only explanation that I have, is that they really want to go big for Storm 5, like maybe going back to an open world format like Storm 1, and they needed this game as a stopgap for the 20th Anniversary celebration.

The cutscene in generations were amazing tho! Quality animation! Beautiful voice acting! Overall way better experiance than this.

That sounds like dbz sagas

Generations didn't catfish you tho. Connections has a few boss segments and then cut the fuck out of the other boss segments and made them regular matches. Storm gen didn't do that to you. Ninja Storm 3 is better than this POS attempt

Storm Generations anime cutscenes were actually re-animated. They weren't ripped from the anime

Not even all the bosses either. There's quite a few good ones missing.

Definitely possible

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that

They actually switched the voice actors for some characters so it isn't AI. If it was, why would they bother changing VAs?

they didnt use ai for the past games so why would they use it for this one?

@@ProudAjax Wait, who all got swapped??

I actually agree with this. I’ve noticed this pattern with Cyberconnect2

Let's hope the pattern holds up because this title is piss poor

Revolution was PS3. What you talking about?

@@zeroskaterz92 oh shit my error, statement still stands tho.

They said that they won't make a storm 5 tho.

Same here this video saved me from wasting my money as well, and considering this was supposed to be an anniversary celebrating game is such a letdown

sad you cant form your own opinion@@Nathan-cw1eu

The bad part is that, that's how the trailers came across.

If you bought Storm 4 on release you have no reason not to buy this one. This is everything storm 4 had to offer on launch including all the 20-30 dollars worth of dlc characters that came later. You cant compare a Full 3 years of updates Storm 4 content wise to launch Connections. Storm 4 was $50 on launch (not including what that would be equivalent to today factoring inflation) not to mention Road to Boruto was a $20 dlc, and you had Gaara and Shikamaru's tale which were 10 bucks a piece and then finally you got TWO characters for $8. Overtime you paid upwards of 100 dollars for Storm 4 and the only reason you are getting bargain deals is due to value drop over time. Connections gives you every single DLC character you paid for in 4, while recapping the story in a much more digestible format (Storm 4 didnt do that) Then its also giving you a wholy new and unique Story that isnt adapted from the anime with its own new characters. On top of that you are getting at least 10 new characters, several new Team Ultimate Jutsu, a revamped Customization system, updated game mechanics while also having the crisp new gen graphics as well. Its well worth $60 as it is, and its going to get updates and DLC just like Storm 4 did as well if not even more.

@@xvoidxhunter2129”If you bought storm 4 on release you have no reason not to buy this one.” Uh, yes you do. It’s called owning storm 4 already lol. This game is just storm 4 again with an admittedly better battle system and a handful of Boruto characters. A $20 dlc sold as a $60 game. As for your “digestible story mode”, people like the storm series specifically because of its excellent story mode with cutscenes and cool boss fights like in storm 2, 3, and the second half of 4. Making it a boring abridged story with no cutscenes and recycled boss fights, some of which are arguably worse, isn’t a selling point.

What do u think the season passes gonna have!😂

I mean better then what we got in generations it's more like a beginning anime scene and just words no dialogue straight fights so I can't people saying history trash I can't believe your better comparing this game to generations or revolutions which honestly that mecha naruto story was not it.

STREAMLINE IT MORE? Thank god you didn't work on this, they cut literally 70% of the boss fights and you want MORE gone. You shouldn't be allowed to talk with takes this bad.

After playing a little of it I like it I can't front but again that's only cause I think about generations and revolutions and compared to that game yeah connections is it

Like. No boruto kid character? The support onlys are still not on the game

Yall bitch about everything. I love the game

Those were so good

top tier ultimate ninja series was amazing as well@@timmyv148

Ubisoft aren't what they used to be no more

exactly, also i never liked all the particle effects that storm 4 added, and i always felt that they made the fire and water effects kinda worse looking. i mean it doesnt look bad per se, it has more detail, but i feel it doesnt mesh as well with the simple cellshading style compared to earlier storm games.

@@helenhomunculus5044 Storm revolution had a little balance. I know the fact that storm 4 absolutely tramps it in graphics. But they shouldn’t made it so over the top in explosions and make it a little bit realistic.

The black blood is mostly because of how Japan is with censorship in games. Heck even Resident Evil games are more censored in Japan than in the U.S.

@@helenhomunculus5044 Strom 1 had better fire effects. If you notice as well, the jutsus where much bigger, much grander like in the anime. Eg jirayai's bring down the house jutsu. In the other entries the jutsus look so tiny.

The expectations to this I think is where you kill the mist ninjas as obito.

Almighty scream?

Damn

@@narutofan4545 "Six Paths - Almighty Scream" is the team ultimate between SP Naruto and RS Sasuke. They combine the attacks they used against each other in the final battle.

I think that issue persists since the very first Ultimate Ninja STORM (not as noticeable as in STORM 4, I believe), if I'm not mistaken, because I've always noticed (especially when playing without headphones) that the audio mixing is horrendous - sometimes it's too loud, other times it's too quiet, and every now and then the audio either gets cut, becomes mute or plays in the wrong speaker, I feel like. There's something extremely wrong about the audio mixing in this series - it's unbelievable no one ever bothered to fix it and kept releasing the same game with broken audio mixing over and over again.

@@NaldinhoGX I think you're missunderstanding what I said. My point is that the audio was a lot better on the previous games.

You were never promised the entire storm game series on one disc. It is essentially a summary and you get new characters and you get a new standalone story. Incessant bitching and complaining does nothing for you or society as a whole.

Or AI dubbed over it for a cheaper turn around.

Not only that, he's always been a phenomenal voice actor. Look at the Persona games where he's Yosuke. Heck he put his all as Sasuke at the end of Storm 4's regular story mode.

Then you're delusional.

Why the hell do you listen to dub?

​@@GMindset959Man, Just allow people to enjoy what they like, it's not harming anyone, and please don't say "But the sub is the authentic experience!", because this won't matter in the long run when it's simply a matter of preference. And: P.S, just please don't reply, saves you time because I won't reply.

@kollie79 so there's no point of this game existing. The real deal when they announced it, it's that they sold this as the definitive and complete naruto story. How can this be complete if they remove elements from the story?

I agree. I think this game was rushed just to release for naruto's anniversary. I don't understand why nobody has learnt from sonic 06 that rushing a game to release for a anniversary is a BAD THING.

60 is a perfect price for a launch title and Connections offers just as much offline content as Launch Storm 4 did. Road to Boruto, Shikamaru's tale, and Gaaras tale were all DLC that came further down the line and you also paid 30-40 dollars for that alone on top of the $50 launch price for Storm 4.

​@@xvoidxhunter2129How much did Bandai paid you bruv 😂

@@Khann_2102 They didnt

@@xvoidxhunter2129 Poor you then

I give this piece of shit a 2/10 bcs 80% of the bosses are skipped

They have all the main characters from the big recent arcs in the manga. I’ll give them that at least. Knowing CC2, they’ll probably add the side characters in as an overpriced DLC.

They have the new Kage, the only ones they are missing are Chojuro and Kurotsuchi who werent playable in Storm 4 either. But you have Boruto era iterations for Naruto, Darui, and Gaara.

​@xvoidxhunter2129 To be fair both of them were assists and should have just been made into full characters especially considering they show up in boruto as well

@@KantaCrowe I agree, but i dont think anyone is feenin for some Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi, or Chojuro DLC as much as they are Fusion Boruto, Ishikki, Urashikki and Toneri

Storm 2 is the last good one for me.

@@tochukwuudu7763 4 lol but definitely understandable 💙 this is kinda worrisome for Connections

@@tochukwuudu7763just bought the original trilogy on the Xbox store and having a great time replaying storm 1 &2

​@@tochukwuudu77632 has a huge lack of single player content so i disagree (despite the good story mode and epic moments)generations and 4 last longer.

You’re playing a Naruto game. How hard do you want it to be? Of course it’s for the story experience if you’re playing the story. They’re not meant to be difficult at all.

​@@haydensilas65Idk why being a Naruto game means it can't provide a challenge

@@kylespevak6781 Exactly! I'd like it to be more than a story mode full of punching bags. They could at least add in a difficulty option like any other game.

I mean you are meant to mainly just experiance and feel immersed in the story, idk why you are expecting to get railed like a Dark Souls game.

Game is too easy. This game is trash

Not all of it

Basically, wait for it to drop to $20 COPY

I hate having to constantly chase my opponent only for them substitute and keep running away. There is nothing to force the opponent to engage with you until they feel like it. Substitute needs a MUCH longer cool down for spamming it. But I dunno, these complaints don't matter. The devs don't give a sh- about people's opinions

@@ggmasterguiltygear6315 And in this version, the AI LOVES running away and throwing out projectile ninjutsus. And they can do that more efficiently due to the auto chakra recovery. I like the auto recovery in general for the sake of improving the flow of things, but yeah subs need to take a hit. And maybe for the chakra back dash to consume more chakra or travel a shorter distance. Constantly feels like I’m playing that one friend who recommends Hyrule Temple every time and just runs away when it comes down to 1v1, and their game plan is to simply wear down your patience. In general, these changes to gameplay are the most drastic the series has probably ever taken and I appreciate that. The Boruto story mode was also way more high quality than I thought it would be. A filler thing got me to feel something which is strange. Very slow first half, though.

If the Naruto story is important, I would say get legacy. As someone who’s a huge Storm fan, I cannot see why Connections would have anything that the OG series doesn’t offer. But you’re a fan of Boruto and it’s cast (like I am), then I’d say go for it - just be warned that the Naruto history mode in connections is real low effort.

If you Want To Relive The Whole Storyline From Beginning To End Get The Storm Trilogy And Storm 4 Road To Boruto that way you get the whole experience.

​@desmondhicks7750 I mean it doesn't include the 2 games in between 2, 3 & 4, so not the whole story. That being generations and revolution.

@logiclunacy606 True But Those are Kinda Filler Games I'm talking main Series Games. But it's cool you didn't forget those games I have a Soft spot for Revolution.

@daurinx you can buy connections if you want to because that's your money

If you enjoy it, why does it matter what someone else thinks?

@@tooblackfordeath I don’t care if he enjoys it or not I just think it would be an entertaining topic for a video

To this point, I think that even the old-school Ultimate Ninja games had more variety in terms of gameplay than the STORM series. 😆

I would LOVE a new Clash of Ninja game. I was just doing some of the story from Clash of Ninja 2 earlier today, though I really miss Clash of Ninja Revolution 2

Not exactly. See, they did switch it up a bit for STORM 4. The game has a slightly new art style/colour grading and a few added post-fx applied to the Cel shading effect, it's what I mean. You can notice what I'm saying if you put any STORM game prior to STORM 4 and compare them to STORM 4; every game prior to STORM 4 had its art style designed to match more or less how the anime looked at the time (Classic to First Arcs of Shippuden) - so it had less contrast and less saturated colours so that the characters would almost always appear darker and/or faded, whereas STORM 4 had an art style closer to what newer animes such as Boruto usually look like now - they have plenty of bloom/bright luminance effects, have higher contrast between dark/bright lighting and normally have less shadows/shading applied to the characters so that they look brighter and more "vivid." That's an improvement/change I expected to see in some way for this new release, too - and considering how long it took for this game to come out, I think it's the bare minimum to at least have the art style updated like STORM 4 did when it was released. Guess they're gonna wait for that until STORM 5 comes out, apparently, when they could've done it already. @@kollie79

character selection screen same too like wtf

Yes

I did. And I don’t regret it.

​@@TheREALHugo4cry

Then why did you buy it then

That’s the problem they didn’t try at all, complete laziness and just a cash grab.

@@JustSendMeLocation Yh I hope they make Storm 5 and not this crap been the last storm game ever.

@@JustSendMeLocation they did try look up videos on the actual gameplay that’s were they spent their time on everything combat wise he mention was from storm 4

It's really not that bad. If you liked Storm Generations, it's pretty much that. While the story modes are lacking, the new gameplay elements are cool, like having a second jutsu.

return it and get any other storm game instead

It’s alot of characters missing , for this to be the largest roster , 10 new characters overall out of 130 + , and ppl complaining more about the story when we been playing the same characters and move sets for 3 to 4 straight games now like get tf fr

Its also worth noting that there isnt any worthwhile cannon characters in Naruto Shippuden to add. They added all the important ones in Storm 4, and tbh most of the community could care less for anything Boruto related

@@xvoidxhunter2129 While that is true, there's still plenty more they could add if they wanted. Like The White Fang, Fugaku Uchiha, Mito Uzumaki, Team Killer Bee, Pakura and Gari, etc. While not that important storywise, they could have great movesets in the games. Shisui was a character people barely knew about, until he was added in the games. Now he's one of the most popular.

@@beastvicious8672 Alot of those have literally never been seen fighting. We did get Indra and Ashura at launch though and they have always been hype because of the filler. People loved Shisui before the games even introducef him thanks to the Itachi Backstory. Theres dozens of featless characters they *could* add but they never really add characters into the storm games unless they are either relevant important characters or fan favorites that at least got some screen time in filler on top of some cannon scenes of them. Which perfectly describes Shisui, Indra and Ashuras inclusion. The only other character they realistically need to add is Toneri, since Storm 4 never added them despite having The Last Naruto and Sasuke as their own characters in the game Reasonably after Toneri, its Story mode specific characters like Merz and Nanashi and then they basically have to pick from the Boruto era catalog UNLESS they pick some other Shippuden Movies to make content from. Which is what I personally hope they do because Blood Prison has a bunch of dope characters and obviously Menma Hiruko and Shinno could be cool as well. But they arent cannon so idk if theyd even bother.

@@xvoidxhunter2129 I know we haven't seen some of them in action, that's why they'd be appealing. They were hyped up but we never saw their potential. Characters like these would be great additions for fighting games. You're wrong on Shisui. He got into the Storm games before they animated the Itachi flashback he was in. Which was filler btw. The only reason they made the filler, was to hype up Shisui for the Storm game that he was gonna debut in. I'd read the manga and Shisui only appeared in one panel, before his trailer came out. He wasn't even a character before this. Right, Indra and Ashura was filler more or less. Neither Shisui, Indra or Ashura are important or anywhere near fan favorite characters. But they make great additions in the games. Especially becouse now we get the chance to see them in action. They've all become more popular after being added in the games. That's the point. The Storm games has plenty characters that we barely saw fight. Like: Shisui, Indra, Ashura, Iruka, Kushina, Rin and Karin. So it hasn't stopped them before. If they can add these characters, then they should also be able to add the ones i suggested. Here's my reasoning for their additions: Zetsu is an essential character, i still have no idea why he's not in the games. Also the Spiral Zetsu was extremely strong when he used Yamato's body. They could easily add in both these characters. Mangetsu like i said, would be the perfect representation of the 7 swordsman. It'd probably be a stretch to add all of them as playable. Mangetsu was almost made to be a fighting game character, to fill in for them. Kinkaku would be the only one missing among the war arc fights, that we actually watched. His brother Ginkaku could be in the combos and maybe a special attack. They added Darui so idk why they didn't just add Kinkaku as well. Kurotsuchi and Chojiro like i said become kage later. If they've got Darui in the game, surely these 2 would make sense to add as well. They've got unique abilities and we never really got justification for them becoming kage in the series. So a game could make up for that, by showing what they're capable of. Kurenai, Anko and Shizune were in previous games. Only ones still missing from the Storm games. Feels odd to have all the sensei's except Kurenai. Anko is also someone everyone likes and agrees was wasted. The games could give her some recognition, that many people want. If they were feeling generous, we could finally see her curse mark form. If the other 2 got added, Shizune is the only one left from the old games. So might as well add her. Team Dosu was a big part of the forest of death and in the preliminaries. Some people like them as much as the sound 4. Atleast Dosu and Zaku. They've definitely got enough to make a moveset on. Kin doesn't have much but it's like with Rin and Karin. If these characters can be playable, then it shouldn't be an issue to give Kin a moveset too. Team Killer Bee also had a good introduction. We were given the expectation they'd be like a new team Gaara. A team with the same age and from another village, that our cast would interact with. But this didn't really happen. Omoi is the only one we really saw fight. Kamui and Samui missed out. Kamui is also one of the parents of the Boruto cast, so she's important in a way. It'd be interesting to see these 3 actually given a moveset. Pretty sure many would like to have them in the game. Pakura and Gari has some of the coolest kekkei genkai. Sure they're not interesting characters. But like with Mangetsu, it's like they were made to be in a fighting game. They'd both be very unique within the roster. Sakumo/The White Fang, is one of the most popular characters that people want to see more of. There's been a poll on which character people want a side story on. He was among the most highly rated. No character would be more hype for a Storm game than him. Fugaku Uchiha (Sasuke's dad) was the leader of the Uchiha and had a mangekyou sharingan. Since the Uchiha are basically the sayians of the Naruto series and guaranteed to be fan favorites. It'd make sense to add him. I'd argue he makes much more sense than Shisui's addition. Lastly Mito Uzumaki. She's got so much going for her. The first hokage's wife. An Uzumaki, which we rarely see. A jinchuuriki of the 9-tails. She's got the strength of Tsunade and Sakura. It's crazy that we never got to see more of her in the series.

It's on the PS4 and 5 😌👊🏻

I wanted to ask for the part about the ''voice'' , like do you mean they would be part of the ''storymode'' or not and if not , do you mean that they would have pre-recorded lines that they will say ?

No that’s terrible

CONS: - Online menus are stupid - NO CROSS PLAY They said they're gonna fix the online and add more modes post launch
