The Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is now on PC, but fans of the punishing action-adventure series aren't happy with Koei Tecmo's handling of the port.It seems the PC port is lacking a variety of features, from in-game resolution options to changing fullscreen settings, according to Steam players. Outlets like Kotaku and Rock, Paper, Shotgun have also bemoaned the featureless port, discussing the convoluted ways players have to access some of the more basic functions.For example, Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection reportedly doesn't allow its resolution to be changed in-game. Instead, players have to dig into the game's properties in the Steam library, and even then, will only be offered three available options: 1280 x 720, 1920 x 1080 and 3840 x 2160.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
