Playing this game for this game for the first time, and holy shit is it bad
>atrocious graphics
>cringeworthy story and voice acting
>shitty fixed camera
>on screen text crawls by at a snail's pace
>played 20 minutes and haven't even fought a single enemy, just walking around a fucking castle
Is this game really that bad or did it just age like hot garbage?
Also
>one fucking weapon
>one fucking attack button
>enemies can block, but you can't
What the fuck is this shit? Coming off of Ninja Gaiden this feels like straight trash.
Here's the reply you ordered. With a bit of sage on the side.
Yeah the game has aged poorly and DMC was always shallow button mashy shit compared to NG.
>>316493876
How about actually addressing his points retard?
>>316494026
They'd be worth addressing if any of his points had any weight to them.
Where the fuck am I even supposed to go? I thought this was supposed to be an action game? Instead I'm fucking waltzing around a castle clicking on everything to try to get some fucking elevator working. It says the elevator has three slots but all I have is a rusty key?
>>316494691
The games are trash Tbh family. Just play NG and skip DMC
>>316494691
DMC1 started out actually as Resident Evil 4, Kamiya eventually changed so much stuff he made it a whole new game.
>>316493396
Alright I'll take the bait. Did you know that in its inception, DMC was originally a Resident Evil game? It's not until DMC 3 that it really gets its own style. DMC is more of a slightly horror adventure game than anything crazy.
Oh yeah, I was fucking appalled when I first played the first DMC, there's pretty much no redeeming qualities.
3 is still great though, I just wish there was an updated version that had mid battle style switching
>There are people so bad at video games that they get lost in DM fucking C.
How?
>>316496304
>Orbs directing you where to go at all times
Are these people fucking retarded
>he hasn't play dmc until now
>wonders why a 14 year old game isn't like his cawwadoodies
Can you underage faggots please leave? Reddit misses you retards.
The first dmc was a master piece back in the day. Unfortunately it went downhill for the series from there
>>316493396
Jesus fuck OP, you must be braindead.
>>316496894
dmc3 and 4 are great gameplay wise, you must be a paraplegic retard
>>316495835
Ok, then no wonder this plays like dogshit. Guess I'll be skipping to DMC3/4
For some reason I still really like DMC1. I think it's the weird mix of action game and survival horror that no other game has.
>>316496876
It's not like it's hard, I just beat NGB and NGS2 on MNM. It's just shitty and boring with shallow combat and too much puzzle and exploration fluff. Maybe that's my fault because I was actually expecting an action game. I don't want to fucking fumble around searching for goddamn rusty keys.
>>316497461
this is the stupidest thread i've ever seen.
>>316497461
>>316497276
Casuals have always been and will always be the cancer killing video games.

So you're crying because you're too retarded to solve simple puzzles, gotcha
Now go back to reddit
>>316493678
>>316493396
14 year old detected.
>>316497380
>no other game
Play Onimusha. And DMC1 had the best enemies in the series IMO.
>>316497758
dmc 4 dante is not that cuhrayzee
he was immature in 3 because that's the prequel to 1 and he was a young man
dmc4 dante, dmc 1 dante, and dmc anime dante are all pretty similar
>>316497761
No, I'm saying "mash square on everything and run around in circles" puzzles are NOT what I wanted in an ACTION game. The combat of DMC1 is incredibly shallow. There's just so much fetch quest fluff bullshit.
>>316497758
4 Dante is a lot more subdued than he was in 3 you dumb fuck.
>>316497758
>DMC1: shit was very serious for Dante
>DMC 2: wasn't even supposed to be DMC at first, I think, and he is the oldest here
>DMC 3: he was young
>DMC 4: he was never in any real danger, shit was not serious for him, just another job like any other
>DmC: Fuck you
>>316497845
Wow you're totally right I just forgot about Onimusha since I only played the first one and got stuck on some water puzzle early in the game. That game might actually do a better job of mixing action and survival horror from what I remember. I wish there was some sort of re release.
>>316497964
the neo /v/ is real in this underage faggot
Go play call of duty, reddit
Kid sounds like he has ADHD.
DMC1 is the best since it's a slower atmospheric RE style horror exploration game.
>>316497761
Woah there.
While op is just retarded by trying to judge games based on the wrong aspects, you're evenly retarded for calling him a ninja gaiden baby by thinking dmc is near the polished game ngb is, although both have like 4 years of difference.
>>316498086
>>316497926
>>316497758
The story has the fucking depth of a puddle and the voice acting that sounds worse than any shitty dub I've ever heard. The story is literally Captain Underpants levels in terms of writing and plot. Do you really find the story to be compelling, interesting, or well-written?
And people call me casual for not wanting to have a cringeworthy and just focus on the action and the gameplay. Jesus christ..
>>316498237
Exactly. Nothing else in the series tops the atmosphere during the return to the castle at nighttime, and seeing the the castle take on a life of its own. So spooky and tense.
Officially the worst thread of 2015.
I still like the DMC1 voice actor alot more then the dmc3/4 one despite the shitty dialogues/script for the first game. I mean the newer voice was ok for 3 but it felt completely off for 4.
>>316498564
Really? The DMC1 VA is almost as foregettable as the DMC2 VA in my mind.
>>316498504
The atmosphere? The atmosphere of cheesy voice acting? The atmosphere of pixelated graphics? The atmosphere of primitive lighting, antialiasing, shadows, and particle effects? The atmosphere of awful writing?
You play action games for the goddamn GAMEPLAY not the fucking cheesy story or the shitty waltz around and click on shit to try to find a random key.
>>316498439
>Do you really find the story to be compelling, interesting, or well-written?
No one does, it's just fun, feels like a B movie. You haven't even filled herdarksoulwithliiiiiiiiight yet.
>>316497964
>mash square
I'm not going to pretend that the DMC1 combo system is amazing (although there are combo videos) but "mashing square" is not supposed to work in this game.
>>316498796
You sound 12.
>>316497461
>Maybe that's my fault
Hmmm. Ya think?
>>316494026
>shallow button mashy shit compared to NG
have you even played the game lol
>>316498658
He sounded more like an adult in the first game. in 3 he was a kid so the newer voice was ok, but in 4 he looks like a grown man with a kids voice.
desu senpai I agree, series didnt get good until 3
>>316497758
>DMC 1 sober
>DMC 2 hungover
>DMC 3 young
>DMC 4 drunk
>>316498846
Mash square for interacting with the environment. Anyways, combat is shallow and piss easy compared to NG games.
>>316498909
I'm 20. More skilled at vidya than you Tbh family
theres a reason these hipsters like DMC3 the most
ITT
>>316499406
The game has aged incredible poorly. It lacks the depth of the later games with excessive fluff in gathering rusty keys when the focus should be on the action. Camera is shit
Can mods just delete this thread?
I was wondering why DMC felt so shitty and shallow compared to DMC3/4 and then I remembered that idiot hack Kamiya was responsible for DMC1.
>>316499260
>3 sold less then 2
Not surprising, I would have been skeptical about buying it after they released DMC2 as well.
>>316499816
>why first game of the series was worse
Wow, it's funny how modern game industry made people forget how progress works
OP here. Said fuck it to DMC and jumped into DMC3.
Wow, a lot better. No slow waltzes through an empty castle looking for keys, camera is no longer fixed in place, it jumps right into the action, combat is a lot better.
>>316500192
>camera is no longer fixed in place
Yes it is
>>316499191
won't get far in the game by button mashing. need to time rolls and backflips to evade many attacks and bosses will parry unless struck at a specific time.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1ivid_mHL4
ninja gaiden doesn't have nearly as strict an execution requirement
>>316500476
NG is a lot harder and more in depth than DMC. This is coming from someone who has beat MNM/DMD
WHY IS NIGHTMARE A FUCKING MINIBOSS THE HARDEST NIGGER IN DMC ON DMD MODE?! FUCK YOU NIGHTMARE IF YOU ARE READING THIS I WILL FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!
>>316497758
DMC 2 dante is literally le edgemaste with his stupid coin meme
>>316500192
So OP how far did you get into DMC? Did you at least fight Neo Angelo?
>>316500691
slightly different skill set
ninja gaiden has elaborate combo strings that are never required nor are particularly useful. I know on the default difficulty dragon swallow (?) or whatever it is called can cheese the entire game
>>316500709
>Nightmare is the hardest boss in DMD mode
>>316500829He's my favorite desu
>>316500709
Nightmare is not a miniboss.
>>316500913
I found mundus to be easy compared to nightmare also the final boss is supposed to be hard, nightmare is a fucking miniboss it makes no sense.
>Not liking Resident Evil: Demons and swords edition.
What the fuck is WRONG with you people?
>>316500879
Try actually playing on Master Ninja before spewing shit out of your mouth. Liz and Master Genshin on MNM are more difficult than any part of DMC. NG also doesn't have elaborate combos. It instead focuses on reactions, timings, reading enemies, and specific strategies.
>>316501031Nightmare is super weak against Ifrit
>>316501062
preemptive roll spamming and running up walls isn't an elaborate strategy
>>316500874
I got to the first fight, got stuck at the elevator and gave up. Only played DMC3 for about 5 mins so far.
I just don't think I'll ever like anything from Kamiya, I hated MGRR, Bayonetta, and DMC.
>>316493678
>>one fucking weapon
you get 3 melee weapons eventually and a couple of guns
>>316501254
The hell are you talking about? You can't even roll in NG. Also, Liz and Genshin (and every other boss as well) on MN can't be simply blocked, they must be timed correctly with the correct action to avoide them (quick dash, jumping, i-frames, etc) .
>>316497461
>too much puzzle and exploration fluff. Maybe that's my fault because I was actually expecting an action game. I don't want to fucking fumble around searching for goddamn rusty keys.
yeah, in that case skip 1
It's great for it's exploration and atmosphere, but if that's not what gets you off skip straight to 3
>this thread actually made it past 5 replies
What the fuck /v/.
>>316501618
The bait was easy and I am weak
>>316501260
Wait how did you get stuck at the elevator?
You hated MGR and Bayo as well? Maybe action games are not for you. Or maybe you just have a huge hateboner for anything made by Kamiya. I mean do you like Okami or Viewtiful Joe?
>>316498796
>The atmosphere of pixelated graphics? The atmosphere of primitive lighting, antialiasing, shadows, and particle effects?
this are all invalid complaints you fucking pleb
>>316501585
He will probably still stumble around the chess pieces part in DMC3
>>316499038
>He sounded more like an adult in the first game. in 3 he was a kid so the newer voice was ok, but in 4 he looks like a grown man with a kids voice.
pro tip:
voice actor is the same throughout the series
>>316501182
>Nightmare is super weak against Ifrit
that makes literally no sense
>>316501719
No, I really enjoyed NG, Bamham, GoW. MGRR and Bayo were just shallow, repetitive, and borng. I still beat them on the hardest difficulty and all though.
>>316501260
>MGRR
I don't think that was Kamiya, just Platinum
>>316501830
>voice actor is the same throughout the series
It's not.
>>316501830
They changed it Langdon at 3.
>>316501923
Nightmare's orb thing becomes more powerful the more you hit it. Which weapon does the most damage per hit?It's not alastor
>>316502048
Theres also another different voice actor in 2 but since he had only like 3 lines in the whole game fuck it.
>>316496894
I feel somewhat like this. DMC1 is still great though, S ranking DMD was awesome.
>>316497251
DMC3/4 combat is pretty much unmatched, except that the enemies are so shit that it's all it has going for it imo.
>>316501923
Are you retarded? I mean are you actually mentally ill?
>>316502003
>Bamham
>GoW
>not more shallow repetitive and boring than any of those games
Bait confirmed.
>>316493396
I remember buying DMC1 the day it came out and playing it at a friends for the first time. We freaked out when the sword impales him and blood shot out everywhere. Hooked on since then, good'ol days.
>>316502003
Wait GoW and Bamham are not shallow but MGR and Bayo are? Also you did not answer my question, how do you feel about Okami or Viewtiful Joe?
>>316501923
>He did not read the entries
They literally explain everything.
>>316502183
>>316502268
my bad, mixed it up with Phantom.
Been like 10 years since I last played DMC1
>>316502268
you basically die in one hit anyway on DMD
>>316501502
>can't roll
>what is tilting the left stick while blocking
confirmed for not knowing what the fuck you're even talking about
>>316493396
DMC1 is a slower paced horror flavored action adventure game.
DMC2 is skippable
DMC3 is when the game becomes what DMC is known for
DMC 4 is a continuation of that
>>316502563
DMC5 when?
>>316502504
That's a dash, idiot. Show me proof you beat the games on MNM.
>>316502587
Too late, Dante is no longer a profitable character. The demographic that grew up with him no longer care for his zany antics, and neither do the younger crowd. They'd either have to make Nero the main character like DMC4 or just do something entirely different like DmC
>>316502775
Fuck it. Reboot DMC 1. Bring back original Dante.
>>316502775
Well...Donte was even more out of touch with audiences than Dante is.
I want to literally punch OP in the face
You are the cancer killing video games
>>316502587
Hopefully fucking never. We got DMC4: SE. Let the series end on that note. After DmC, I don't want them to touch the series.
>>316502775
>DMC4 was my first game
Your kind needs to fuck off forever
>>316501260
How the fuck can anyone get stuck on DMC1, specially at the beginning? I beat it when I was like, 12 or some shit.

Plebs like OP will never know the joy of a triple shadow fight.
>>316503103
No you're not
You're having problems finding your way around in DMC.
>>316503021
everyone who likes dmc4 . dmc4 was their first dmc anyway
Quick questions:
so is the action that circle performs different depending on your style? (eg trickster = dash, swordmaster = twirly sword)
What is the difference between Trickster dash and standard R1+X roll?
Can you upgrade weapons?
Also it seems like there's no combos or anything. It seems like one button does one attack, another button does something else, and trying to do a combo just performs each action. Is there really no combos in this game? Is it entirely about timing and dodging?
>>316502959
Donte was actually made to appeal to a younger demographic. That's why he's such an edgelord: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dante_%28Devil_May_Cry%29#Redesign
>For DmC: Devil May Cry, a reboot of the series, Dante was completely redesigned as a result of comments by the Capcom staff. Dante's original design was originally meant to be similar to the ones from previous games, but Capcom told the Ninja Theory staff it had to be completely different in order to appeal to a younger demographic
>>316503021
Nigga I've been playing DMC since it was released when I was in 9th grade. No one my age that grew up with the series cares for it anymore since
>DMC4 was over 8 years ago
>DmC happened
People move on. A new DMC staring Dante will rope in a few nostalgiafags but the core audience has either moved on (oldfags) or don't find Dante appealing (younglings)
It's a rock and a hard place situation
>>316503392
Its funny how people still blame ninja theory for this.
>>316498157
>stuck on the water puzzle
Try it again, I seriously beat that shit on my second attempt. You just have to fucking try. There are SO many fucking people that just up and quit when they got to that shit.
>>316503382
>is there really no combos in this game?
Are you in the first fucking level or something?
>>316503329
That's completely unrelated to skill. Meandering around corriders mashing the action button to find a rusty key isn't skill.
I haven't played much of DMC3 yet but it's night and day, doesn't even feel like the same series. I really think I'll like DMC3
>>316503382
>Is there really no combos in this game?
There are combos just like DMC1, but better. Look up the controls somewhere (too long since I played it, forgot where in the game itself it gives you a movelist) and I hope you're not playing on easy automatic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXcuBN1l50U
who were right?
>>316503593
Yeah
>>316503571
>I seriously beat that shit on my second attempt.
I never liked the first Onimusha much because I got it, and in the same afternoon I beat it, such a short game, I don't even remember the puzzle people say they usually get stuck in.
>>316503593
You can do combos even in the first level. He is just bad at video games.
>>316503639
I'm playing DMC3 now. And idk what difficulty, it never asked me
>>316503827
Why is /v/ so self conscious about videogames that they constantly need to project by calling others bad at vidya. I already said I beat NGS2/NGB on MNM, Bayo on infinite climax, MGRR on Revengeance with all S ranks, and am going to beat this on DMD.
>>316503831

Reminder that the first DMC is still the best because it has a superior style grading system and much better enemies than any of its sequels.
>>316503382
>What is the difference between Trickster dash and standard R1+X roll?
Trickster goes farther, is more invincible, and can obviously be upgraded
>Can you upgrade weapons?
Of course
>Also it seems like there's no combos or anything. It seems like one button does one attack, another button does something else, and trying to do a combo just performs each action. Is there really no combos in this game? Is it entirely about timing and dodging?
My nigga you've been playing the game for 5 fucking minutes, you don't even have any moves, weapons, or
Air Hike yet. Actually play it before bitching about lack of combos
>>316504005
lol @ u if you think I'm reading all that shit.
>>316493396
Maybe you should just stop being an underaged faggot.
>>316503382
>so is the action that circle performs different depending on your style?
yes
upgrading your styles unlocks more potential.
Trickster for example gets an air dash and a teleport to the enemy later on. Swordmaster gets more advanced combos.
>Can you upgrade weapons?
You can unlock more combos for them, but damage stays the same.
>Also it seems like there's no combos or anything.
wut?
>>316504143
>>316504059
why the fuck do you need to buy combos. All the moron can do is mash the same attack until you buy more?
>>316504004
Who fucking cares how you did in other games though
Do you not see the retardation in this logic?
>Look guys, don't discount me for asking if I can do combos after wandering around aimlessly. I was like, super good at Splatoon
This is what you sound like
>>316502775
>The demographic that grew up with him no longer care for his zany antics, and neither do the younger crowd
That's wrong you fucking retard.
>>316503382
>Also it seems like there's no combos or anything. It seems like one button does one attack, another button does something else, and trying to do a combo just performs each action. Is there really no combos in this game? Is it entirely about timing and dodging?
Welcome to DMC
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIGL5rIphPY
>>316504143
>wut?
He doesn't know the controls. I'm pretty sure there is somewhere in the game that tells you the controls (shit like locking on and pressing towards + attack for stinger etc) but not finding it the first thing you do is trying to read a guide or something right? Well, I linked one but he doesn't like reading so he will probably give up on 3 too soon enough.
>>316504043
>superior style grading
Nah. That was DMC4. All that fucking mattered was that you were landing lots of attacks really fucking fast and not just repeating the same shit over and over. That's how the style meter should work. Damn right about the enemies though. There isn't a single fucking fight in 2, 3, or 4 that's as interesting as fighting 3 shadows at once.
>>316504246
YOU DON'T BUY COMBOS DUMBASS, YOU BUY MOVES
MORE MOVES = MORE THINGS TO COMBO INTO AND OUT OF
MORE MOVES + AIR HIKE = CUHRAYZEE COMBOS
not OP, but I've been meaning to play DMC as well and I don't really like survival horror games (in fact I hate it but let's just leave it at that) Should I just start with 3 or is it really worth playing (even for somone like me)?
>>316504402
I don't mean the fucking style meter. I mean button string combos. There's one attack button, unlike Ninja Gaiden which has 8 (light, strong, holding strong, holding weak, shruiken, bow, aerial combos, UTs)
>>316504608
DMC is not a survival horror game no matter what these faggots are saying. It just has a really good "dark" aesthetic that none of the sequels have. You would have to be the worlds biggest bitch to actually get scared by this game.
>>316504608
DMC plays like a shitty PS1 Resident Evil game with shit combat.
DMC3 is entirely different.
You're a dumb cunt for reviewing a game 20 minutes into it.
>>316504004
>I beat Bayo on infinite climax
And you dont understand the combo sistem on DMC?
>>316504608
see
>>316502563
>>316504689
>I don't mean the fucking style meter
Maybe this isn't for you. The ENTIRE point of the style meter is for you to make your own combos. That's what the combat of DMC focuses on. The game gives you 2 or 3 basic combos, 3 or 4 moves, a couple of movement abilities, AND ENCOURAGES YOU TO STRING THEM TOGETHER ON YOUR OWN TO MAKE YOUR OWN COMBOS. If that's not something you're into, you're gonna have a bad time
>But muh Ninja Gaiden
This isn't Ninja Gaiden
>>316504892
It's called first impression. When you've played literally 1000s of games, you can tell a lot in the first 15 mins. I can tell DMC is outdated, archaic trash. And I can tell DMC3 seems to be a lot more deep, much more focus on action, much more polished, and with less bullshit fluff
>>316505036
pretty sure it's just bait at this point
>>316504689
The difference in DMC combos isn't about different attack types, it's about different weapons. They all work differently and have different attacks depending on the timing of the button press, what direction you push the analog stick in, and whether or not you're locked on. Really though, there are only 3, maybe 4, weapons in DMC3 that you'll ever actually want to use, and only 2 guns that you'll want to use, the rest are just kind of shitty and pointless. If you want to make your combos more interesting use sword master to double the possible attacks.
>>316505093
Just keep playing through it though, mang. It's a pretty short game, so you may as well go through it all for what it's worth.
>>316505068
Ninja Gaiden has like 800+ combos you fucking casual.
News Flash: Doing a basic combo after another basic combo isn't a new combo.
>>316504608
Its not really a survival horror game. Granted it had origins as one and some horror elements in its surroundings but its far from it.
>>316504528
>All that fucking mattered was that you were landing lots of attacks really fucking fast and not just repeating the same shit over and over. That's how the style meter should work.
That's exactly how it should work. Why should I use several attacks of questionably quality when I could use the same two or three to finish fights faster?
Being on the offensive all the time > goofing off and using different attacks just for the sake of it.
>>316505261
fixed it 4u
>>316504826
I am the world's biggest bitch, but that's not really the point. I wouldn't like exploring castle etc. I'm more interested in combat, which apperantly lacks in 1.
Well, I guess I should give it a try anyway, see it for myself.
>>316502587
NEVER EVER
>>316505290
>Why should I use several attacks of questionably quality when I could use the same two or three to finish fights faster?
Because it's more stylish that way. Same reason you might stop attacking to taunt your enemy.
>>316505230
>combining moves or other combinations of moves is not a combo
NOT EVEN HIM
>>316505290
Increase style meter means better rank, better rank means more orbs at the end of the mission, more orbs means its faster to buy more shit. After you buy it all then its for the sake of getting good.
>>316505379
don't listen to these faggots there is combat in 1.
>>316505093
You don't know shit. DMC3 is not more deep, the depth in DMC games comes from the enemies, and DMC1 has the best enemies by far. The only depth DMC3 has over DMC1 is in the moveset, but all that allows you to do is fancy hour long combos on enemies that barely threaten you at all. The only time DMC3 ever becomes deep is in piss hard fights in the bloody castle mode. DMC3 is all style and no substance, DMC1 will completely fuck you up once you get to DMD until you git gud. Just wait until you get farther in the game. Most of the enemies and stages in DMC3 are absolute trash. It doesn't matter that the game has more of a focus on action and a bigger budget, hardly any of the game is actually worth playing. The people that actually like DMC3 only bother to replay like 2 of the missions with very few exceptions. Almost every mission and almost every enemy in DMC1 was interesting. The only missions you might complain about are the short-as-fuck swimming sections and the afterburner climax minigame towards the end. The only enemies you would complain about don't even show up on DMD unless you backtrack. Your shitty first impression is not accurate at all.

If there was a mode for all combat I'd be all for it. But I'm not doing 20 minutes of "meander around the empty castle for the rusty key" for 20 minutes for 2 minutes of combat.
>>316505603
Stylish to me is killing a ton of enemies as fast as possible while taking no damage. DMC3/4 actively work against that.
>>316506154
If it takes you 20 minutes to do anything in DMC then you are fucking retarded.
Now that's it's been established that this is a troll thread, lets ignore the OP.
How do Lady and Trish play in 4SE? I've only seen videos but is Vergil as overpowered as he looks?
>>316506275
>DMC3/4 actively work against that.
>Only way to build style meter is killing shit as fast as you can without repeating moves
>Getting hit even once drops your style rank 3 levels, which in turn affects your score in the end
>>316506427
They're limited but still fun if you don't spam. Trish gets a new moveset when you toss Sparda out. Lady has a charge mechanic and is ranged only. Vergil is as OP as ever.
>>316506643
>Lady is ranged only
Please tell me she has sim cuhrayzee gun fu
>>316506615
You can go much slower in those games compared to the first. The style gauge drops almost instantly if you stop attacking in DMC1. Not to mention that fights last longer in general.
>>316506643
What the fuck, the kiss does damage?
>>316506427
I'd say Vergil has great crowd control options, but Nero has an easier time achieving SSS and killing shit quickly. Take that with a grain of salt as I'm not all that good in the game.
Lady is really strong, you basically charge your shotgun up to level 3 and blast away. Whenever you get in trouble you empty your meter to throw a bunch of grenades with like 1 second of invincibility frames.
Trish is quite bad tho and from I read most people seem to agree on that.
>>316506154
As soon as you get past the elevator the game IS nearly all combat, and it just gets more and more action based as you go along. Protip: You don't need a fucking item to activate the elevator. You just fucking hit that symbol behind it with your sword until it lights up all the way. Unless you're talking about the mechanism that opens up the gate in the room next to the room where you first fight the marionettes, in which case I doubt you've even used that rusty key yet. There's a door in the first fucking room of the castle that it unlocks, this leads to the previously mentioned light-up elevator and the rest of the fucking game. Run to the end of the hall and you get your first weapon that isn't shit. You don't get the item needed to open the gate until way later, after you've cut your way through like 3 or 4 boss fights. Use a fucking guide if the key hunting in this completely linear game is so fucking abstract to you.
Ninja Gaiden Black was the only good Ninja Gaiden outside of the classic ones. 2 and Razor's Edge were dogshit.
>>316507104
Hey autismo, did I trigger you? The combat is also literally just mashing triangle.
>>316506972
Yeah no, she's locked into her animations. Honestly I dislike playing her a lot and she's easily the least fun character to play as.
>>316494691
If this isn't bait, you seriously need to end yourself. You'd be doing the world a favour by getting rid of another worthless waste of space.
No it's really trash, I never liked it. DMC2 is what got me into DMC, it wasn't a good game either by any means but at least it had the action part down unlike the first heap of garbage they spat out.
DMC isnt the long-standing 10/10 series people like to pretend it is, it had one fantastic game (3) and one game with tons of potential that just ended up being mediocre (4), the rest is utter fucking garbage.
>>316507251
>Honestly I dislike playing her a lot and she's easily the least fun character to play as.
I like playing her for the same reason I enjoy playing Black Mage in FF14.
It's all about smart positioning.

I'm one of the few people on this planet that loved Razor's Edgeand hated NG2. 2 wasn't fun for me, it was unfair.Black is still the best though.
>>316507251
That's disappointing, what a missed opportunity
>>316507545
>DMC2 is what got me into DMC
bait, DMC2 is the worst game in the series. even worse than DmC
>>316507232
It's the same in fucking ninja gaiden, DMC3, and literally every other game in the fucking genre. Having to press more than one button doesn't actually make hitting things more complex, it just makes it look better, the combos in these games aren't half as fucking demanding execution wise as literally any fucking fighting game ever made, and if you think the shadows, the frosts, nelo angelo, or pretty much anything that isn't a marionette is that simple you're in for a fucking surprise.
>>316507545
>dmc 2 is what got me into dmc
That all you had to said to just bait and shitpost with
>>316507312
Epic. What's funny is I know you won't post your gaming profiles because you know I'm more skilled than you.
>>316507545
Anon are you even trying?
>>316507818
I bet DMC4 was your first DMC, fucking toddler
>>316507837
>you won't post your gaming profiles
I don't even know what gaming profiles are
>>316507923
Dmc 1, you shitter
>>316507837
:^)
>>316508052
Your steam/psn/xbl profile so I can see what games you've played and beaten, beaten on the hardest difficulty, challenges completed, difficult achievements/trophies earned. Because I guarantee you're a fuckin casual lmao
>>316508065
oh so you just have shit taste and / or are completely deluded by memory-revisionism
>>316508205
oh lol you're an achievement whore
that's kinda funny and sad at the same time
mostly funny tho
>>316508205
muh cheevos
i bet you actually care about the stupid fucking ranks at the end of missions, top fucking kek
>>316508238
Faggot, you said dmc 4 was my first,
I just said dmc1 was my first.
It ok, you want to shitpost and want that (You), so here you go
>>316508295
>>316508404
simply ebin :^)
No, achievements simply unlock naturally for those who complete games on the highest difficulty, do challenge modes, etc. It doesn't mean you're an achievement whore to provide proof of actually playing and beating games on the highest difficulty like you claim
Devil May Cry is still my favourite game in the series. 3 and 4 are all well and good (and arguably better, for that matter), but something about the first one just gets me rock hard.
1 > 3 > 4 > 2 > DmC
>>316508297
>the very first boss
>a multi headed hydra like thing
entire review just became invalid
>>316508606
>proof of actually playing and beating games on the highest difficulty
I downloaded a premade savegame for DMC4:SE because I couldn't be arsed to farm everything over again when I just wanted to have fun with the new characters. Right upon starting the game for the very first time a bunch of achievements popped up.
Nice proof you got there chief :^)
>>316508616
I agree, i really enjoy dmc1 but i do love the combat in 4
For me its 1>4>3>2
Not OP, but I tried DMC1 for the first time 2 days ago
I think OP is a shithead who can't into older games, which is a crying shame upon his family.
>the graphics are good for 2001 (those ejected shell casings, that lighting and sound design)
>the voice acting is fine and the story is okay
>I've played at least 2 old REs and Dino Crisis. It's easy to adjust to, and you have to be all sorts of shit to be that bad to complain about it
>played through up until the sewers so far, fought a good number of enemies and two bosses and I only got "lost" when I was exploring and looking at the different rooms
There are a few things that bug me though
>the controls are awkward for me, in that I press triangle to jump and circle to attack.
>double jump is ungodly expensive
Also everything about Dante's character seems weird to me. I mean
>the trenchcoat
>handgun(s)
>use of holy water as a weapon
>deadpan sense of humor
>demon hunter who's half-demon himself
feels like something I've seen a thousand times before but the only character that comes to mind is John Constantine. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it feels so goddamn familiar and yet I can't quite put my finger on it
>>316509053
So you didn't beat it on DMD or do the bloody palace or anything? So basically you're a fucking casual shitter?
Lmao
>>316508205
>cheevo whore
Anon, post yours.
Burden of proof is on you. I say you're a shitter.
>DMC2 is bad
When will these meme fucking end?
>>316509185
>>the controls are awkward for me, in that I press triangle to jump and circle to attack.
pretty sure that's fixed in the DMC HD collection
>>316509295
You are right its bland as fuck
>>316509295
Not even a brown french woman could save DMC2.
>>316509295
>pic
receding hairline doesn't work like that
>>316509317
>fixed
You mean ruined.
>>316509468
isn't the fix optional?
Thought there were classic controls as well
>>316509295
Say it with me
HELICOPTER BOSS
When's DMC5?
>>316509517
I don't know, I still play my PS2 copy.
>>316509317
I'm playing the PS2 version
I did consider the HD collection, but PS2 was only 2.99 compared to 20.99.
Gotta save them shekels
>>316509185
It's a game from 2001, so Dante clones came out after it, you might be thinking of one of them.
>use of holy water as a weapon
>using items ever
>ishiggydiggy
>>316509583

>>316509248
Not giving out my PSN ID so I'll snap a picture of my trophies. What do you want proof of?
I have Wipeout HD, Sine Mora, Hard Corps Uprising, XCOM EU, Retro/Grade, Vanquish, MGRR, NGS2, Catherine, Dyad, Max Payne 3, The Evil Within, MoHF, CoDC, Killzone 2, and Bloodrayne Betrayal completed 100%
And if you have any difficult game you want me to 100% I'll get it and complete it as long as it's not shit
>>316508616
1 feels like a very different game, with the amount of space between fights and light exploration around the island. Almost like it's trying to be a variation on Castlevania with more combat mechanics.
It feels too different from 3 and 4 to make a direct comparison.
>>316509468
Nah m8 DMC1 plays better with the latter games control scheme.
>>316493396
Yeah DMC1 aged like milk.
>>316509583
>big bad is blending the demon world into the human world
>be surprised and offended when our own elements and architecture and technology turn against us
>>316509718
Even better :^)
>>316509978
I meant it was a really piss poor and annoying boss fight. The one of most unpleasant boss fight i had ever fought in dmc history
>>316509978
Oh god he's defending corrupted tanks and helicopters.
>>316499916
the original release of 3 was also hard as fuck, so that probably put a lot of people off as well.
>>316510193
I never played the original, how was it harder? Was it just like less health, or were the enemies more aggressive or something?
>>316509682
I'm not sure I've played too many games like DMC1.
The only other hack n slashes I've played are MGR and Ninja Blade (the FromSoft Ninja Gaiden killer)
>>316510365
Pretty sure the hard difficulty was the standard one

You're thinking of Blade

The standard version's "normal" mode was the SE versions hard mode.

A while ago, Capcom leaked a "schedule" for future releases

Go play Bayonetta instead. Rather then wasting 20 hours waiting for something to happen, Bayonetta is straight-up action stary to finish with a tiny bit of platforming.
The sequel is shit though.
>>316511375
Bayo 2 is fine. Granted the final boss does not compare to the first one but at the end of the day its completely fine.
>>316498237
>it's a slower atmospheric RE style horror exploration game.
And /v/ hypes DMC to be an epic CCCCUUUUUUURRRAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZ action game. No wonder OP is upset.
For all the bait that's been posted in this thread.
Here's your reply.
