[Goldsickle]

Devil May Cry: Stylish Hard Action

Devil May Cry 2: Stylish High Action

Devil May Cry 3: Stylish Crazy Action

Devil May Cry 4: Stylish Action

DmC: Devil May Cry: Stylish Action


Brought to you by the same marketing division who made up genres such as "Warring States Survival Action" (Onimusha), "Panic Horror" (Dino Crisis), "Free-Running RPG" (Mega Man Legends) and of course, "Survival Horror" (Resident Evil).

Probably old news to some.

I'm surprised DMC4 and DmC are just Stylish Action while DMC2 is up there with Stylish HIGH Action.

I thought that was DmC

I thought that was DmC

Don't know about that one, but pretty much all bosses and some mooks in DMC2 require you to spam jumps and running up walls.

In Japan, the first two God Of War games are published by Capcom, so following the company's typical packaging standards, they included a genre description for both games:

"Action".

Just that.
I guess Capcom Japan's marketing division didn't think Kratos is "stylish" enough or something.

I mean, on the official packaging of God Hand, Capcom's genre description for that was "God Action".
Couldn't they have been creative and marketed God Of War as "God Slaying Action" or something?

It must be because the Capcom devs were HIGH when they decided to release that game.

I kid of course. :tongue:

For the DMC HD Collection, they forget about "Hard", "High" and "Crazy", simply classifying the entire collection as "Stylish Action" on the packaging.
