About to play DMC 1/3/4. Should I emulate 3 on PS2 or play it on PC?
>>343148298
>emulate on PS2
Are you retarded?
You should be either playing the PS2 original or play it on PS3 in HD collection. PC port is dogshit and it can't be fully fixed.
>>343148298
That's what I mean, I was gonna emulate the ps2 special edition of 3 because I read the port was bad and the mod changed the mod recommended in the image made the game easier.
>>343148972
That pic is objectively wrong for PC version.
Sound engine is still fucked with some SFX and music tracks missing and general slowdown.
Shadows and lighting are still fucked and nowhere near as good as on PS2/PS3 HD Collection.
Style Switching completely breaks DMC3 gameplay and makes it ultra casual as the game wasn't made with it in mind.
>>343149240
Also DMC3 still doesn't emulate properly unless you've got external knowledge how to work PCSX2 to re-enable the disabled lighting and use experimental bleeding edge dev build with OpenGL renderer.
>>343148298
It breaks my heart that everyone hates DMC2. It's really not nearly as bad as people say.
>>343149569
Indeed, it's much worse than that. It's a fucking broken game, fucking DmC is better mechanically.
>>343149240
>>343149407
Given that I don't own a PS3 and am unlikely to find a copy of the ps2 version in short order, I should still stick with emulating it, right?
>>343149569
well maybe i'll give it a tr-
>>343149695
you're tearing me apart lisa
>>343148298
What controller should one get?
>>343149407
Oh also are you sure that's still true? The wiki doesn't say anything about lighting.

Seriously don't touch DMC2, he's being a contrarian faggot.
That game is absolutely abysmal, the fact Capcom themselves APOLOGIZED for it and pretend it doesn't exist should give you an idea how bad it is. Seriously DmC of all things is better than that turd and DmC is abysmal in itself.
If you're going down the emulation route, make sure to use latest PCSX2 dev build here:
http://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/
And make sure to use the OpenGL renderer.
>>343149949
>Description: Bad post-processing causes blurring and bad colors.
That's the lighting, HDR lighting is part of post processing and it's kinda fucky and has some ghosting.
It's fixable in OpenGL on dev builds though.
I'd show you how but alas my 780 Ti burned 2 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for it to come back from RMA and as such I can't even run PCSX2 due to having no GPU right now.

>DmC better than DMC2
DMC2 might not be as good as the other 3 but for shits sakes it's waaaay better than DmC.
>>343149990
>>343150162
Any major drawbacks to doing it this way?
Thanks for the advice btw.
>>343150489
You have to be incredibly deluded contrarian to say that. Bosses are a joke, the level design is not only worst in the franchise but among the worst in history of videogames (while DmC has some of the best level design, it's the only thing Ninja Theory excells at) and guns obliterate everything with basic autoattack. It's a trash game. I legitimately don't understand how you could possibly say DMC2 is in any way better than DmC beyond character faces.
>>343150594
If you set it up right, none.

swiggity swooty
/v/ is alright sometimes.
>>343150759
The combat in 2 is super-fun, at least to me. I spent months fucking around with it until I was the retard master. It's really just different, not worse.
>>343151160
Nigger the combat in 2 is the epitome of BUTTON OF AWESOME, SOMETHING AWESOME HAPPENS. It's the casualest piece of shit ever. That game is just chock full of simplification and easymode shit. It was very clearly designed to aim at the western market but failed horribly and west didn't like it either.
>>343151270
Only played Sigmas and Razor's Edge. Call me back once XboxHueg and X360 emulation is good enough so I can play Black and regular NG2.
>>343151558
OG Xbox emulation is non-existent with practically no demand.
>>343151160
It's definitely worse dude. Even all the swords play the same. It's fucking brutal how bad it is.
>>343151735
X360 has backwards compatibility, and as such so will Xenia once it's actually good enough.

Play DMC3 via the HD Collection if a PS3 is available.
DMC4 should be played on PC in either case. Try and get the Special Edition if you can.
>>343151160
No, it's just bad. Your opinion is bad. You're entitled to it but it's so so bad. The game is not better than people say. It's worse.
>>343152065
Glad you posted this, guns in DMC2 completely break the game. Spam autoattack to win.
>>343152065
Ah. DMC2 guns. Probably the only time where guns were just completely OP in DMC.
Emulate 3 (or SE) on PC, don't buy from steam store
>>343148592
you must be the retard because you CAN emulate 3 on PC with PCSX2 you dumbfuck nigger
also the PS3 version has problems so its not really worth it
>>343153158
Learn to read next time you inbred cockmongler. He said "Emulate on PS2". He didn't say "Emulate on PCSX2" or "Emulate PS2 version". He said "Emulate ON PS2".
Now go and kill yourself.
>>343153158
>also the PS3 version has problems so its not really worth it
It has none though beyond intentionally removing the rope move from Kalina Ann and Kalina Ann isn't a good gun subweapon to begin with anyway.
>>343153509
Did they really do it on purpose?
>>343153879
Considering it's a flawless port with no missing effects or anything of the sort beyond this one change it's pretty clear that it was intentional for whatever reason.
>>343154049
Man. That's odd of Capcom really. I guess they have a reason.
I didn't play the PS3 HD version of DMC 3.
>>343154616
I mean you have to admit that if it was a shitty port thing then a lot more stuff would be broken rather than one specific move being REPLACED with a different version of it which doesn't pull the enemy, just stunlocks on range.
>>343154616
it's also on 360
along with NGB and II AND Bayo, 360 was THE choice for action games
>>343154761
True.
>>343154770
Forgot it was on 360 too. My bad.
