I think the single player is pretty forgettable but enjoyable. I liked it a lot more when I put it on easy and blasted through it. That's not something I'd usually do but I wanted to finish the game and get the golden eggs to use in multiplayer.

Ivan is a really boring character which is a shame.

The multiplayer is outstanding. It's very fast paced and you can pull off some great maneuvers. Building a base and then defending it feels really good.

It seems like it became a cool thing to hate it. A lot of people hopped on the bandwagon which is a shame. Not that it's perfect of course. Just most people I've asked can't even explain to me why they hate it.

Boss fights are actually fun. Combat is more satisfying. Story is better, and I think I prefer the voice acting too.

It's just a better game all around.

Do you want an actual explanation as to why the game is objectively shit or was this just bait? We've known for months the game is bad.

Also if any of you think this game is better than Bayonetta 2 you might actually need to kill yourselves.Bayonetta 2 has it's own problems but at least it's a solid game.

I've been looking forward to it since it was vapourware, but upon seeing it recently it feels like whatever passion he had for it just dissipated and he just wanted to get it done.

It's not better. It's not even good.

There's a reason Nintendo pretends it doesn't exist and only shipping about 50 copies to actual stores in the United States.

It's because it sucks.

OP is baiting, but Devil's Third is honestly like a solid 7, its a bit jenky, the graphics are a bit underwhelming, but it has good game play, and a stupid fun story

I don't understand the terrible reviews its getting, a 44 metacritic is overboard
>>
>>319903038
The gameplay isn't good. It's generic third person cover shooting against spongy (note I said spongy, not difficult, the game isn't hard it's just tedious) enemies with a god awful framerate and the most shallow melee combat imaginable.
>>
It was fun while it lasted, the shooting mechanics were simple but the melee has some depth with context senstive attacks
>>
>>319903038
And low framerate in an action game, bad combat and shooting in a terrible combination, and a graphical compartment that would have been underwhelming on the PS2.
>>
>>319902829
>100k
Try 60K max
>>
like combat sliding and slicing the opponents knees then stuns them for a follow up pistol kill
>>
>>319903309
Yeah, just like that F2P game Warframe, that came out years before it and still has walljumping.
>>
The only faint hope DT had for an active playerbase was splatoon style servers
>>
>>319903131
>spongy
The only spongy enemies are the heavies and the zombie monkey things
The most shallow? So how is the combat shallow? I'm not saying its deep, it isn't, but it isn't as shallow as something like DMC
>>319903191
The framerate gets low when a ton of stuff is happening, but it has a 30 FPS when theres less then 4 enemies around(not counting rocket launchers), which is most of the time
The combat isn't bad, its actually pretty fun, its no DMC3 or Bayonetta, but is no DMC or Bullet which
>X looks like its from the PS2!
Its doesn't, it looks like a mid life cycle 360 game

Its nice to see that your shouting opinions despite never actually playing the game, or probably even watching gameplay, but please continue to argue something for a game you've obviously never played
>>
well i imagine the "inspiration" was CoD and the like, so trying to find a middle ground between single attacks and action game style move lists was what they went for
>>
>>319903561
>but it has a 30 FPS when theres less then 4 enemies around
That's not a plus at all. Fucking Uncharted could do better than that.
>>
with the EU multiplayer as barren as it is i'll give the pc beta a go which conveniently went into open on the 11th
>>
>>319903972
I didn't say it was a plus, the game isn't well optimized but its not like its sub 30 fps on a constant basis


Why compare uncharted?
>>
>>319904143
Because it's a game that clearly doesn't need them, and it can still handle framerate better than this pathetic tripe.
>>
>>319903561
Nevermind you're delusional. The melee is literally just a light and heavy string + some context attacks and buggy kill animations on enemies. There is literally no combo system to speak of outside of the aforementioned.

Those sections with the spongy enemies make it an extremely boring slog unless you sprint up, somehow don't get torn apart and throw your Sword twice for instant kills (why the thrown Sword attack has such a stupidly high damage value I can't understand)

>>319904143
It very frequently drops below 30, you need your eyes checked faggot. Every time you zoom in you're sub 25.
>>
The strangest thing about the DT saga is how people whine about the death of middle ground games. Then when 1 comes out its attacked by almost everyone, whilst you could get it for £25 at launch anyway hardly a AAA price
>>
>>319904620
This guy is right about the singleplayer having dull enemies that soak up bullets, the best bit of the SP is the credits theme
>>
threadly reminder that the PC version does exist, and will eventually come out overseas

>>319904620

>>

>Nexon
Oh God, that's the icing on the cake. There is no hope.
>>
>>319904620
With dodges, and blocks, and throwing. But nice try champ.
There not that many spongy enemies, the only part where it gets rougher is near the end and in the lab where you have like 3 bullet sponge enemies next to each other

I'm not sure what your smoking, the game doesn't drop below 30 FPS on a regular basis for me, besides the explosions and X amount of enemies


I'm not really sure what your trying to prove considering you haven't played the game, but I'd recommend you actually play the game, its pretty fun, I'd wait until its about 40 or 30 though

>>319905218
>regular enemy can be killed with a single shotgun blast
>2 headshots with assault riffle
>1 shot with sniper rifle to the head
>>
The multiplayer is a lot of fun. Yeah it's not the prettiest game but i have feeling gonna develop a niche mutiplayer base on wii u. Hell there still is a great small group of people playing blops 2 on wii u. Plus clan play is a lot of fun! Story is mindless but it gets you there. I say pick it up when its cheap. (though the game is sold out due to low stocks) but i guess the eshop is always available. And i guess you could wait for the free to play pc version of the multiplayer.
>>
Anybody streaming it?
>>
>>319905390
>X amount of enemies
Again, are your enemies supposed to spawn in turns in order to keep framerate barely over a slideshow or what?
>>
>>319905807
This guys speaks the truth, treat the SP as a glorified training mode, boss battles help loads for teaching you the block and dodge mechanics/timing
>>
>>319905969
No, but the game doesn't throw more then 4 at you at most times

For the last time, I never said the framerate is good, it isn't, but its not a slideshow a majority of the time
>>
>>319905390
>I'm not really sure what your trying to prove considering you haven't played the game, but I'd recommend you actually play the game, its pretty fun, I'd wait until its about 40 or 30 though
I played it in August when it released originally.

>With dodges, and blocks, and throwing. But nice try champ.
I'll stick with delusional, the combat is shallow as shit. This is objective.

I literally clarified which enemies are spongy and that they're boring as shit to fight against, the rest of the game is pathetically easy. The bosses are all retarded as fuck because the AI is god awful.

>I'm not sure what your smoking, the game doesn't drop below 30 FPS on a regular basis for me, besides the explosions and X amount of enemies
Find a local opticians.
>>
>>319906056
It really does. Plus the fact it has chat rooms in the lobby and voice play i have met some pretty cool people I really hope they change their mind and do cross play with wii u and the pc version. For the record the wii u version has keyboard and mouse support (i still use the gamepad personally)

No they fucking didn't. The AI on every boss is dumb as shit, super basic, limited combos against you etc.

>but its really not that shallow, you have different weapons, ways of playing and different weapons work better on different enemies, and its fun, at least for me
Okay, you eat shit or something. The weapon variety is basically irrelevant when the different weapons still all have 2 strings + context.

I feel like if he didn't have to restart so much and switch engines as well as that hell that was THQ's closure. I feel like it could have been a better game. It was suppose to run on darksiders engine before it switched to unreal 3. Who knows.

>>319909381
We all saw what happened with Itagaki without team ninja. The Ninja Gaiden sequels may be not as good as black but they're in no way as bad as DT.
>>
>>319909381
Ninja Gaiden was just a case of sheer luck.
>>
>>319909638
No, I'd say Ninja Gaiden 3 is worse than DT.

Hey, the best part of NG3 is it's multiplayer!
>>
>>319909937
It's alright, you're allowed to be wrong.
>>
>>319909638

Devil's Third went through development hell and multiple engine changes, Ninja Gaiden 3 didn't

Hackyashi should be ashamed that even without running into major problems, his shitty game didn't manage to even be half as good as anything Itagaki made before him.
>>
>>319909859
Maybe there was some guy we don't know who was responsible for black being that good? Maybe some legendary part timer who stayed after working hours to make the game good.
>>
>>319910328
I hope that they will some day port it to PC
>>
>>319910319
Well at least he was competent enough to avoid development hell. Itakagi couldn't even manage that. Not surprising that a talentless hack should never be in charge, I hope he is fired.
>>
>>319910328
For sure that wasn't they guy that set up the camera in any game of the series, the character designer or the writer. NG is fun but fuck if the camera isn't annoying and the bosses aren't pathetic looking.
>>
>>319910560

You know thq went out of business when devil's third was still being worked on right retard?

Not really sure how Itgaki could have avoided that.
>>
>the rarest wii u game is also going to be the worst
Hilarious
Can't wait for people to start dropping 100+ for a used copy on jewbay.
>>
>>319910737
Itakagi is a hack, he couldn't have avoided anything. The game was doomed from the start. If the game had any talent behind it you would see it even if it was released in scraps. The game is finished, it's poor in every single aspect. The foundation of the game is shit and so is everything else. Itakagi is a complete hack with no future in game development.
>>
>>319910980

There's not much of a demand for it. Stores just don't have many copies in stock.

Damn, I'm going to miss Itagaki. He just seems like he was everything that modern devs aren't.

I remember that quote about how he decided to make Ninja Gaiden harder after the testers complained that it was too hard.

I can already imagine how he would have reacted to all the faggots that are against DoA xtreme 3 being localized.

A lot of people is most shooter tend to over look pistols. They are not bad at all. Especially if you upgrade the ammo capacity. i'm able to do very well with it.
>>
>>319918613

How does the upgrade system work in this? Is it linear or can you unlock whatever upgrades you want in any order?
>>
>>319918959
pretty much, you use golden eggs. And if i'm being honest yes you can purchase them. but you do unlock more as you level up and play online. So there is no reason to use the microtransactions
>>
>>319918959
Also, you can buy customized outfits that effect your stats
