Legendary Dark Knight mode for DmC?

Okay... The enemies in DmC are a bit more agressive than they are in DMC4. They're not as bad as Bayonetta or DMC3 but I think the reason it works in DMC4 is because they really are mostly targets. A LDK mode in DMC3 might be even worse than DMD mode. Don't forget that out of all of the games in the franchise DMC4 had the weakest enemies, glass jaws everywhere by contrast. DmC's opponents aren't as sturdy as DMC 1 or 3's but they aren't as fragile as 4's.

I'm just saying it might not work with tougher enemies, only the real uber skilled would get to enjoy that and that ain't fair.

Hardest and most aggressive enemies I have encountered in a DMC game are the ones from DMC1. DMC3 and 4's enemies were pretty much alike in both aggressiveness and how long they lasted (depending on the difficulty you were in).

If one thing enemies in DMC3 had over the ones in 4 were the crazy strategies you had to come up with when mixing different types of enemies at once. For example, there were rooms in DMC3 where you were thrown those range laser shooting enemies, while others that attacked with sand at mid-range, with others that teleported towards you and slashed, etc. So you needed to fix your mind on building a strategy rather than "let's just go in and kick their *** as they come." There were some strategies you had to you against some of the demons in DMC4, like the Blitz, but they were usually alone since Blitz also attack other demons around it and kills them for you.

DMC1 enemies does require strategy but mainly in terms of gameplay I felt we had to use strategy or the enemy felt hard because as the players Dante in DMC1 had less abilities than in future games and the poor camera angling adds to it....I'm not the only but I have died many times not because the enemy were hard(that contributed) but its mainly because the camera was terrible. However due to my experience with vary action adventure/strategy games that lightning beats fire(I used this as a guess in my fight with Phantom) and even used common sense that fire can beats ice when facing the Frosts as for learning that Fire can beat lightning was just a lucky guess when I was facing Griffon and I was like..."this guy just killed me and I by my fight with Phantom I learned that lightning can damage fire types more so lets try this over again" so I did it and hey fire beats lightning and lightning beats fire.

DMC3 enemies weren't all that once you've figured out a good strategy it becomes mighty easy.....but the spiders(mainly the giant ones) and the Hell Vanguard(also the Bloody hells.....okay maybe not them) are the only challenge....but I do admit each enemy(just not the first ones you've fought in mission 1) was rather tough once you've faced them for the first time but its mainly each enemy had a certain strength and you have to expose their weaknesses like the one Hell that can't be harmed by sword/melee attacks but gun based attacks but it explodes....shoot it from afar it was til after I got hit by its explosion 5 times to realize this. Those flying blood things.....shotgun attacks actually works but E&I works as well to turn it into stone and damage it.....that one took me like 3 missions to finally realize that hacking and slashing it only multiply those damn things. All the other hells/scythes(except the blood ones) are just a matter of looking out for them or paying attention to them...like the Hell Pride(the speedy ones) are quite fidgety and must always focus on them or unless I'll end up getting struck from the back(SNEAKY BASTARDS) and the one Hell Lusts...I always make it a priority to kill those first or else I have to deal with more Hells but gotta look out when they're about to summon more Hells cause when they swing around those coffins they can hurt if your close....had to learn that the hard way....multiple times. As for the Blood Scythes.....they're just like the other hells but when they go underground to do that sneak attack what I do is focus on them and blast them with a shot gun when they pop out....knocks them back all the time but when I don't I noticed they throw that fire thing and has a better chance of hitting you if your in the air or not moving.

As for DMC4 enemies....yup they're rather easy.....when I first saw the Fault try to devour me it was natural instinct to dodge them and I only got devoured by them on purpose to know what would happen. The Chimera Seeds I knew from day 1 when they position themselves just dodge them or get ready to watch out....the thing about DMC3 enemies over DMC4 enemies they require rather simple strategy. Only by learning that if the Chimera Seeds get attached to a certain monster they start swinging their blades so getting close to them was rather difficult and I learned that by my first encounter(well I got better at this from already playing DMC3 & DMC1 in that order). Pretty much only the Bianco Angelos and the Blitz(I love the Blitz) caused me any big troubles but those Cutlass demons...that one swim on land was actually the most difficult playing as Dante that is). Even those Mega Scarecrows were rather easy. Plus Nero was well mad overpowered with his Snatch and Buster tecniques.
