What.. anything can be anime DmC even more so. just look at madhouse the company the make western titles(supernatrual, batman, the marvel series and now mass) now if mass effect thats as american as it gets a animeand i doubt the fanbase are all anime fans btw, the DmC who has a fanbase full of anime fans can. even tameen himself is afan large influence on enslaved was miyazaki.no matter how western it gets though DevilMayCry will always be based in the japanese stlye. your averge COD playing frat boy gamer still looks at DmC and says it to hyper twitch with to much going on,anyone who has attempt to bring thoose gamers into DevilMayCry has heard something like that .
DMC2 is crapped for a reason --> DmC for no reason..,
well DMC2 isnt a bad game either :/ just really easy and couldnt live up to the original like ever one wanted it to
I've always seen as two different types of Hack n Slash. You get games like Dantes Inferno, God of War and Castlevania LoS which are to FANTASTIC games but don't really have that deep rich combat system of Devil May Cry, Darksiders or Bayonetta; so I find it hard to compare either game
Easy, short, boring... not necessarily a bad game but too repetitive I would say it's better than Ninja Gaiden 3, but that's just me ^_^
it was rushed and it had some big idea's it wanted to put across which some of them failed flat but its the kind of game you play once in awhile :lol:
No and that wasn't my point. My point is that both types of Hack 'n' slash are awesome, but they are different shouldn't really be compared.
I would say the amount of entertainment it can provide is the main thing, weapons+upgrades, story, good combo system doesn't have to be difficult, actually if the combos are too hard to do it's quite the opposite, difficulty has to come from other aspects of the game: hard but fair, not frustrating,
This reeks of bias, along with the smokin' Gabriel avatarNot that I care.
i'm not that bias in LoS lol. I know the fact that it borrowed some mechanics from Shadow of the colossus and Prince of persia's platforming but that's all really.
except for LoS not having deep rich combat system(No offense). The light and dark magic mechanic is actually one of it's best mechanics in it's combat. LoS is a hack n' slash game but it's not just button mashing. Every enemies(like traditional castlevania games) have weakness that you need to exploit thus not making the game repetitive.
I didn't take the light and dark part into account. My fault. It's actually very similar to angel and demon mode in DmC actually. But I was really talking about the whole combo system of the other games.
I agree with almost everything you said
I take it that you are more of a classicvania dude? As much as i like symphony of the night, i think metroidvania is highly overrated in the castlevania fanbase.
That's why I'm having so much fun with this new DmC and trying all the combo potential. Whether it sounds good or not but this game feels like (a slightly slower) MvC3. There's so much variety with attacks and that's just the demo. Frothing at the mouth with these new weapons in the full game.
True true. I just meant comparing within the genre though. I also love those games too and can easily criticise them. Same with the new DmC. I can see the problems with it and constructive criticism should be taken into account.
