I buy most Wii U exclusives. This is one of the ones I really don't know about. I've watched video of it. And it doesn't look terrible. I like oatmeal cookie games.
But the internet hates it. What does /v/ think?
>>320032726
It's complete shit.
>>320032726
>I buy most Wii U exclusives
It's not like the Wii U has many multiplats to choose from..
Also devil's turd a turd
>>320032726
why dont you watch someone play through some of it to get an idea of how it is?
it looks like it might be so cheesy that it's good
>>320032726
It looks like ass.
>>320032726
It's the next God Hand. Mark my word.
Is it so bad it's good a la Deadly Premonition?
People who have played it say it's actually quite fun even though it has massive flaws. The multiplayer is also great.
People who watch youtube videos just say it looks shit and has bad graphics
>>320032726
MP looks fun, i've watched a lot of the videos japs have posted
>>320033742
>People who have played it say it's actually quite fun
Yeah but I can't figure out if that's just Nintendo shill fan boys that will push anything with Nintendo on the box.
Metacritic gave it a 44 for a reason

Post some games under 50 Metacritic score that's good
>>320032726
It's a really sub-par game, and its poor scores are only further damaged by the heavy expectations placed upon its creators.
>>320033501
No, it's just so bad it's bad. This guy is a massive fucking shitter for saying people are praising it despite flaws >>320033742
>>320032726
It's not terrible - it's not amazing either.
I enjoyed the single player and am on my third play through. The bosses are great. Multiplayer is really fun but doesn't stand up to games on other consoles.
If you just have a Wii U and want a reasonably fun shooter then get it. If you own another co sole you may want to invest in a better shooter on one of them.
ive been playing it all day, possibly even a contender for my GOTY
>>320033501
Deadly Premonition had its unique (totally not Twin Peaks) charm and storytelling to bail it out whenever its gameplay fell flat, Devil's Third just doesn't have that same kind of charm that makes you love it despite how much you hate the gameplay.
>>320032726
It's shit.
>>320035525
>The bosses are great.
What, specifically, are good about the bosses? They're all fucking awful, the AI is terrible, they have tiny movesets, they take way too much damage from any of your attacks and die too fast, they're all susceptible to really cheesy attacks, none of them are interesting in design at all.
>>320034040
>>320032726
Its a hidden gem. Online is fun ad fuck. Get it. Its the wii us god hand.
>>320034949

>>320035963
The comparison to God Hand is absolutely unwarranted, God Hand was legitimately good. This game has pretty much no redeeming qualities from a technical and gameplay standpoint, fuck off.
If I already had a WiiU, I'd probably get this. It looks like a passable Ninja Gaiden alternative from General Oatmeal. Can't be worse than Yaiba, at any rate/
>>320035781
I thought the black South Ifrican guy looked pretty neat, even if he's just a basic Ninja Gaiden boss.
>>320032726
It's alright. Not 60 USDs alright. but alright. Wait for a price drop. I know Wii U games don't really ever drop but this game isn't gonna sell so it will drop eventually. It's very reminiscent of PS2/Xbox era action games. Plays like them too.
>>320032726
Best Third Person shooter I've played in a while.
Bouncing back and fourth between guns and melee is quick and satisfying.
Get ready you get your shit pushed in by the bosses though
>>320036096
Devils third is as good as God hand. Both are medicore games but are fun as shit. So you fuck off.
>>320036185
It's a third person shooter with tacked on shallow melee, it plays nothing like Ninja Gaiden at all.
>>320036296
If you struggled with the bosses you might be retarded.
>>320036365
Nope, Devil's Third is objectively bad.
>>320036029
The Wii U version is trash though because it's a bad port of the 3DS version.
Play the Wii version on Dolphin, it was the original vision, the only version Yuji Naka/Prope worked on, and it's better in every respect
>>320032726
From what I've read it seems to be an okay game, the kind of thing you'd normally see on a 6-7 score.
>>320036029
That game is trash. The Wii version is the good version.
The Wii version is about a 75. The Wii U is in the 40s somewhere in my opinion. 44 is fine.
>>320036546
>>320036573
is rodeo worth picking up for the $60 price point? i would only touch the wii version of course. might just go with woolly world instead
>>320032726
I really hate how it's impossible to get an actual assessment on this game. You just get people shitposting that it's bad and an occasional vague post about how it isn't that bad but without elaboration.
Anyways, I just finished the single player and it is pretty much what it is. A game that went through development hell that is very rough around the edges. It constantly looks and feels like it is being played on minimum settings on a laptop. But personally I don't give a shit about that, really the problem is is that it looks like they didn't have enough time to really nail down the game mechanics to make both the gunplay and swordplay equally viable. In the single player the gunplay is pretty bad, I think the problem is that the didn't know how to make decent ai for shooting. They usually just stand there or sit behind cover and pop out to shoot. They dont run around and do tricks like your character can. Also, ammo is almost always in high supply, so there is never any reason to conserve ammo and go in for melee kills. Since chapter 2 is pretty much all gunplay, and it is the worst looking chapter of them all, it is a trainwreck. I imagine all the reviewers played up to chapter 2 before writing their reviews, so the low scores become understandable in that case.
Things do get better after chapter 2, but nothing amazing. Battles become more close quarters, and ninja enemies that bum rush you appear. Sections where you are engaged in melee combat are easily the best portions of the single player. Unfortunately in comparison to ninja gaiden the melee combat is very barebones in this with no upgrades or special moves, but it is still satisfying. There are some cool kill moves, and this game has decent gore effects.
Also, the message Itagaki put on the end credits made me smile. If you have some morbid curiosity, or just want to see what Itagaki has been up to, this could be worth a look at least.
Multiplayer is a different story though, it's great
Picked it up. A few short notes about it.
Combat is rather shallow, but it feels really satisfying to kill enemies. Like incredibly. Guns all feel different as well, which is nice. The transition between melee and guns is smooth and one of the better parts of the game.
Multiplayer is a blast and has actually rather lively servers. Surprisingly.
On the other side, the game REEKS of low-budget. Like that this would be perfect as a $40 game, not a $60 game. Graphics range from good (character models) to fucking HORRIBLE. Framerate is all over the place. AI ranges from beyond fucking braindead to turbo autism on the spot they're coming to rape you.
This game could have definitely used a few more months in the oven. I'm sure it'd be at least slightly more polished if the game came out in December in general.
> microtransactions in multiplayer
>>320037503
I am both of those things and I do want to play it but not 60 dollars want to play it, why are Nintendo titles so fucking expensive
>>320037503
I've been watching a playthrough(Matt and Liam, pls don't bully)and the stereotypical Japanese castle level looked really fun, with all the melee ninjas. Not sure about that boss though.
>>320037503
This. Chapter 2 is probably the worst part of the game outside of it's boss fight. And the worst part is, Chapter 2 looks like it was from the original version of the game with wall running and they had to fix it in short notice.
>>320037796
I hate the game because it's shit, but they're largely irrelevant, you get enough Golden Eggs early on to just buy the most powerful shit straight out.
>>320037993
The best boss is Military Nigga. Worst is either DIE MOTHERFUCKER or Samurai Whore.
>>320034040
>Dewid Thiht
>Wiiw
sensible chuckle
>>320037993
That Japanese castle level is by far my favorite level in the game.
It's one of the few rare times where you can see that behind all of the problems this game has, they almost came close to having a good game at one point.
Not that the game is terrible, it's just kind of mediocre and cheesy low budget fun.
With that said, one thing I did like about this game, is that even with all of it's problems, it still knows that it's a video game and it doesn't pretend to be anything else.
It doesn't have constant on rails walking sequences where you can only watch other characters do things, there are very few quick time events, there aren't any forced "muh feels" story moments shoved down your throat by film school drop outs, there aren't any highly scripted action set piece moments.
It feels like a game from ten years ago and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
>>320036296
>I only buy Nintendo consoles and haven't played a 3rd person shooter before
>>320039379
I really liked the fucking horrible RE4 level cheese dialog.
Like, after Ivan is called a military dog, he says something like "I'M OFF THE LEASH" and fucking jumps out of the chopper. Ivan in general is great in a really campy 80's way.
Thinking about buying this just because its going to be rare in the future

>>320039379
I'll be honest with you, I'm a games tester and I've had to play most of the multiplat games that were released this year. This looks like one of the few games I've not played that I'd be willing to try just for the gameplay alone. Maybe I'm just tired from having to trudge through the same games over and over as fast as I can (since we need completions and we have a very tight schedule, plus the same games get submitted frequently) through unskippable cutscenes and scripted pieces with dull and/or slow gameplay, but even something as cheap and shallow as DT looks good to me. Don't have a WiiU though. Dunno. Might get one for it and Bayo 2/Wonderful 101 and maybe some other things.
>>320039810
Definitely.
This game is like one giant love letter to cheesy 80s action movies and intentionally corny Jap games from a few generations ago.
Big Mouse was a fucking joke
>The boss is easy as fuck
>So they add 50 000 soldiers in the same room for more challenge
>mfw
More like Devil's Turd amirite
>>320040753
That all die in 2 shots from any random spray you fire
>>320040232
Some of the close quarters combat with the ninja opponents gave me some real Ninja Gaiden feels at times, that and the level has by far the best art design of the entire game.
It's also one of the better levels as far the framerate goes.
You can tell that it's one of the few levels that they bothered putting any effort into.
>>320040753
> if you die after managing to aggro him the soldiers just dissapear
>>320040423
Yeah, Devil's Third is no fucking Bayonetta or TW101, but it's fun.
>>320040807
I honestly don't understand the thought process of this fight. He actually puts up a fight and doesn't shoot aimlessly in every phase but the last one. HOW DOES A BOSS BECOME EASIER WHEN HE'S NEAR DEATH?
>>320040847
>real Ninja Gaiden feels at times
So you haven't played Ninja Gaiden then, because this game plays nothing like NG in any aspect other than being a third person action game that features Ninjas. The Melee is quite literally nothing like NG at all, mechanically, difficulty wise, nothing.
>It's also one of the better levels as far the framerate goes.
Go zoom in anywhere in the level and get back to me
>>320040423
This should be right up your alley then.
I've been feeling really burned out from all the open world games that I've played this year.
This is a perfect turn your brain off and enjoy all the cheesiness and the tasteless gore for a couple of hours type of game.
I bought it for 17 pounds just now, my expectations are the lowest and i wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't this cheap
>>320041916
Is it me, or was the only fucking place this game got a decent shipment was in Europe?
>America got FUCKALL and the only place to get it now is Gamestop's website
>Japan was Amazon Exclusive
>GameStop also let me know that, as far as they could tell, their online store only had 420 copies of the game available for sale for the entire country.
holy kek
>>320035525
d-does that mean the campaign is only like five hours long?
>>320042328
Including cutscenes on the hardest difficulty it's under 5 hours.
>>320032726
It's one of the worst games of 2015. Why are you fags even still talking about it. The game is shit.
>>320042616
its GOTY because it does something new and innovative while giving the middle finger to critics. i wouldnt expect you to know though

I went to gamestop the day they came out around 5pm
I asked for it and he said it got delayed but looked on the computer and it showed he got in 1 copy today
I bought it but haven't played it yet
Still on xcx
terrible garry's mod clone practically
>>320042043
Gamespot exclusive and nintendo knows this game isn't worth the effort.
>>320041110
I was referring to the more superficial aspects of the level such as art and enemy design. I also said "feels" referring to the close quarters gory combat and how this level in particular seems to have more close quarters combat than other stages.
It obviously doesn't have any of the mechanics of Ninja Gaiden and I think that watching the videos online should be apparent to anyone of that.
Then again people shouldn't expect Ninja Gaiden from a game that is mostly third person shooting.
Nowhere in my post did I imply that the difficulty or that the moves where anything like Ninja Gaiden.
You Devil's Third shitposters sure are quick to pounce on people that give any sort of praise to this game aren't you?
>>320040807
>I'm gonna post it in every devils third thread
Fuck off m8
Well, it was nice to have some actual discussion on this game until this thread devolved into "it's SHIT - No it's GOTY!!" shit posting.
>>320043756
but it's objectively GOTY and many reviewers are agreeing
>>320043756
So it's mediocre
>>320034040
wiiw lad
>>320043756
Well we can keep discussing it if you want.
There is usually just one random shitposter that shows up with his "objectively bad" nonsense and his cherry picked webms.
He's probably just mad that we can't have "good taste" like him and enjoy all the "journalist" favorite games like "gone home" and "undertale".
Devil's Third's development was such a fucking mess that the characters that the game's logo and title were designed around don't even exist in the game anymore.
That should tell you all you need to know about the game's final quality.
>>320044216
Good strawman, this game being bad has nothing to do with Undertale and Gone Home also being shit games or even remotely relevant given they're completely different genres.
>>320043979
>reviewers
wat reviewers even the nintendo wanking sites say its mediocre
literally facebook: the game
>>320035525

>>320044284
The weirdest fucking part is, go look at the trailer from 2011 with HARDO GAYU. There's so much shit that ended up in the final game, but has the original MCs.
>>320044405
do some research before you shitpost
>>320042310
Oh god.
Do I return it, or keep it? I haven't opened it yet.
how did Itagaki make a bad game?
>>320044689
His only good game was Ninja Gaiden Black and arguably NG2.
>>320032726
It would be a really solid fun game, if it was released in 2008.
>>320044479
Facebook is about Russian Duke Nukem killing terrorists and fake ninjas? Clearly I'm out of touch with social media.
>>320044664
Keep it and sell it in the future.
>>320044885
if you had reading comprehension skills maybe you would understand my post
>>320044365
Not really.
Most of the people trashing Devil's Third have never played it. They are basing their opinions that it's a shit game on the same people that gave undertale and gone home good scores.
Is that really the people that you want to base your opinion on?
I mean if someone played it and they thought it's shit, then that is perfectly fine. But it's really obvious that the shitposters with their cherry picked webms have never played it and never had any intention of doing so.
Then again, I guess that is the average /v/ thread in a nutshell these days.
Some people shit on it
others say it's really fun
I don't know who believe anymore

What? how are those games even comparable, you drones are pushing it.
>>320045104
In the middle of this thread some people wrote more than 1 sentence about the game. Those are the only posts that will tell you anything about the game.
>>320045043
>Most of the people trashing Devil's Third have never played it.
You may well be right. But I'm not one of them nor do I really care about reviewer opinions.
>But it's really obvious that the shitposters with their cherry picked webms have never played it and never had any intention of doing so.
How are they cherry picking? They're lifted straight from the game and are truly representative of the games quality, first hand.
>>320045328
the gameplay videos are not representative of the real game
Here's my opinion
>shooting is terrible and barebones, you the usual cover and iron sights + you have a lousy version of the vanquish slide move that does barely anything
>melee is a bit better, it takes some notes from platinum games like the side dodge from MGR but the combos available to you aren't any better than the usual Dynasty Warriors light and strong attacks mashing until they die, at least the finishers look a bit like ninja gaiden with all the blood spraying
>AI is non existent and relies on numbers and ambushes to do any sort of scratches to you
>Bosses are a joke besides the last one which is such a rip off of Jetstream Sam, so it's the shinning light by copy paste
>performance is terrible on any level not indoors
>multiplayer is nice but you have such an advantage if you just buy your way through unlocks that it isn't funny, even the last tier of weapons is locked to golden eggs

>>320045440
This is the last time I'll respond to you since I have better thing to do.
While some of those webms do show things that happen in the game or could potentially happen to someone playing the game, they do not represent the entire experience.
Come on, you've been on /v/ long enough to know how things work here.
Shitposters will usually cherry pick the worst moments or the moments with the worst graphics to try and prove their point.
How many times have you been in a thread where someone will dump screen captures of some bad texture on some random wall or rock?
The Witcher 3 downgrade threads should have been enough to convince anyone that the vast majority of people here aren't looking to discuss the good and bad aspects of any game on here.
People are free to think that Devil's Third is a shit game, but when their entire post can basically be summed as "LOL LOOK AT THIS SHITTY WEBM" or "LOOK AT THESE METACRITIC SCORES", then it does a huge disservice to anyone trying to ask for honest feedback about a game that they're unsure about.
>>320046895
>People are free to think that Devil's Third is a shit game, but when their entire post can basically be summed as "LOL LOOK AT THIS SHITTY WEBM" or "LOOK AT THESE METACRITIC SCORES"
So all new games, dunno why Devil's Third of all games is deserving of less scrutiny than any new release here.
>>320046895
Good day lad! While I certainly appreciate your quality post, might I bring to your attention that there is simply no need to use line breaks for every sentence. It is quite frivolous if I do say so myself. Nevertheless, enjoy the posting, cheers lad!
>>320044958
You wrote four words. I guess I misunderstood them somehow. Oh well.Please don't bother explaining, I don't really care.
>>320046895
>it does a huge disservice to anyone trying to ask for honest feedback about a game that they're unsure about.
I mean I could sit here and write an essay on why the game is shit if you wanted, but people would just tl';dr or call it bait if it's longer than 5 lines. Recording and posting webms that show off the shit in the game is far easier.
I played some of it and feel that if the game didn't have giant fucking framerate issues it would be kinda okay, in a dumb, mindless fun way.
but the fucking framerate issues just fucking kill it, it's unplayable at times.
>>320045475
Fuck you. I hate people who say that.

>>320045104
Almost everyone says it's shit. There are a few idiots running around here calling it good.
From what most people say. Is that the single player is shit, but multiplayer is pretty gud, just not $60 gud.
Confirmed that the multiplayer version will be free for PC in 2016 so just wait for that.

>>320050981
I've said this the entire thread that Saha is the best boss fight in the game.
