This exact same thing happened to me with Sony's God of War.
Everyone kept going on and on about it.
"You have to play it!" "It's the best game ever!" "It's sooo good!"
For like a year I just said "meh" and never bothered, but then I picked it up and was blown away.
Same story with Ninja Gaiden. I never owned an Xbox, so I never had any means of playing the remake of one of my favourite games on the NES when I was a kid. Everyone kept telling me how hard but how good it was, and how it was the best game on the Xbox. When I had my 360, I for some reason never considered picking up Ninja Gaiden Black.
Enter Ninja Gaiden Sigma demo on the PlayStation Store last night.
Holy buttmuffins, I should have listened to everyone years ago, the game really is fantastic. It took some getting used to as I'm more used to God of War and Devil May Cry (the latter of which is the only action series I've ever played that holds a candle to the difficulty of Ninja Gaiden)
Sure, it's essentially a port (with full 1080p/60fps, self-shadowing, new weapons and abilities, and Rachel as a playable character, but those are just icing on the cake), but yeesh. I'm glad to finally have a chance to play this game.
