I think a small "health bar" should be added for each enemy! Do you agree?

[Samad]

It would be much more easy to play if you know how much health a regular enemy has.

 

[aoshi]

No and uh.................No.

 

[Gbraga]

If it's optional, why not?

 

[m100t8s]

Disagree.

 

[rocketvergil]

hell no
the last thing we need in an already rebooted DMC is rpg elements

This might work with a faint circle around the enemy to show what you are locked onto, but I don't think it would really fit in with the game's atmosphere. It might be a thing you could change in the options menu though

I like the idea of a lock on indicator but healthbars just dont fit DmC.

 

[rocketvergil]

They could do something like the more bloodier the enemy, the more closer it is to death

Well, DMC3 had healthbars, it was the green ring on top of the red lock on circle
Look at when Dante locks onto his enemies, (0:49 has a good view)

Edit: NT could do something like this by putting it in the options menu

I like that idea. But people would say it's biting Bayo even more.

 

[camilopezo]

Only with rages. That way you can kill them both at the same time.

I really hate bayo

RPG elements? Since when? DMC4 had enemy life bars....

 

[Devil Player]

DMC 2 had this feature, actually.

You could see enemies health bar and their names on it, lol. I have nothing against it, but after playing DMC 1, it was quite stupid stuff. It wasn't needed. DMC 3 and 4 changed it by putting the target icon slowling changing its color, to show enemies life bar.

Regular enemies don't need health bar, only bosses.

However, in DmC we can test enemies and play with them. For example, the regular enemies ( Stygian). We can count how many times we hit them, before them being killed. We can create a list. So, we know if they're close of being killed or not.

I agree with who mentioned the Rages, though. They seem to act like mini bosses or something like that. They also take a lot of damage. So, it's nice to know if we're almost killing them or not.

where?

 

[TWOxACROSS]

where?

DMC3 and 4 literally had their lock-on cursors also acting as life bars for that enemy target. It was segmented into four parts, and would deplete clockwise as you damaged them.

I'm not quite sure how that's an RPG element, either >.<

 

[Dante47]

In case you all forgot, the enemies from the original Devil May Cry series had health bars.

In Devil May Cry 3 and 4, the life bar spiraled around the lock-on bar and would deplete along with their lives.
In Devil May Cry 2, I believe the health bar of the current enemy you were fighting was displayed at the lower left.
In the first game... I'm not exactly sure if there was one... I cant really remember... :ermm:

Anyway, I feel it detracts from the immersion of a fight to see the enemies fatigue, unless it's a boss fight.

It's too late to add a health bar anyway, we have less than a month till the game's release.
Nothing that wasn't in the demo other than story elements and items won't be added.

 

[AngelMode]

I don't mind a health bar, but I don't mind not having them either... I think it is alright as it is.

And, as a matter of fact, DMC have had RPG elements since like ever... with the whole farming red orbs -> buying upgrades thing.

I really like that and i hope they can implement it in an update or something
