well hell yeah but if u manage to pass DMC3 you can pass anything...right ^_^>_< Vergil fight 3. SOOOO HARD TO KILL!!
If DMC3 had been without the ability to go back and get more orbs from previous missions it would have been one hell of a tough game. As it is, I find it easier than DMC1.
Like everyone said, you most certainly do not suck. If anyone here sucks, it's me...who can't get past Phantom on easy mode even after beating the game once. :'( *thinks DMC1 is just the hardest game in the series so far*
You are not the only one... I play through the game on Normal as Sparda because I love his bitchin' techno-rock-orchestral battle themes, and because I want to fight all the enemies the game has to offer. I promptly get my butt handed to me by Phantom before I can even see any of these new enemies.
*sigh*
DMC1 is ebil, yeah? =(
