Three reviewers talk about DmC

[Martius]

Uhm, What? Dante in DMC4 has waaaaaaay more options mid-combat than Dante in DMC3.

I was talking about option in matter of choosing weapons and styles. DMC3 had overall more weapons and styles to choose while DMC4 allowed for having more weapons and styles at same time. Of course i agree with you, because of that Dante had more mid-combat option in 4.

I feel like im the only one here who doesn't hate 2 and can honestly enjoy it at times ^-^' 4 would've been great if you didn't backtrack with Dante for the second part of the game or that stupid dice minigame uggh and it only got worse when you played as Nero in the savior

 

[Marionette Cherry]

Bloody Palace and Mission 17 with Dante are the only things I care about in Devil May Cry 4.

 

[Demi-fiend]

I admit it. I'm anti-Dunte.

I only liked DMC3, and only for the combat.

I didn't like 4 because it only had 3 melee weapons instead of 5 like in 3. That, and you had to backtrack through the environments.

Edit:

And I don't play as Nero, so that's a non-factor -- Well, it is to me. I don't see a reason to include him in my personal opinion if I don't even use him... and yes, I have played as him. I didn't like it, so I stopped afterwards.

Why is it that NG2 can have at least 8 weapons and DMC4 only had 4 melee weapons (counting Nero).

See? I can criticize without coming off as overly negative.

I liked mission 18 with dante

You know, whenever we come off as "overly negative" to you we're usually joking.

And actually, most of those who didn't like DmC actually made a very structured review of WHY. I don't see how that's overly negative, just because we like to joke about stuff doesn't mean we hate it with our entire being.

And also, most of us in the forum who criticized DmC did it just like you did. And I'll show you.

DmC has many flaws to begin with, As one who really likes Dante as a character, Donte(I like to refer to him as Donte to separate the two.) is pretty much the opposite, he's not light hearted and most of his one liners come across as negative and just plain pandering.

The combat is nothing like what you'd expect, it has color coded enemies which limit your options and forces you down a linear path. That's not what the Devil May Cry series is about as you can see with Styles and Guns, it encourages variety and pretty much says "Here's an enemy with a life bar, kill it however you see fit".

And Enemy Step just feels like it was shoved in there to make us think like they actually tried to make it LIKE a Devil May Cry game, but it's pathetic.

Also, the combat is pretty sluggish compared to the original series. Referring to ChaserTech's video comparing the two:

That's not to say the game doesn't have any redeeming qualities. I guess. I think Vergil is pretty well done, I like his move set and his overall design and he has some pretty cool tech. But that's about it I guess. I'm probably missing some stuff that I forget because I don't even come close to that game anymore.

 

[Marionette Cherry]

I liked mission 18 with dante

Is that the battle with the savior?

I remember getting stuck on that level when I played it again. I think I didn't know how to get one of the gems on his body

 

[meg5493]

I felt really weird playing as Dante once Nero got captured I was always grabbing enemies with the Devil bringer so when playing as Dante i was pretty much going in my head "What is thiis?! I have to actually run to the enemies instead of grabbing what is this sorcery?"

 

[Lionheart]

I don't really understand why you'd like DMC3's number of weapons and combat more than DMC4's. Wasn't DMC4 less restrictive? I remember only being able to use two melee weapons in DMC3 when in Swordmaster style. In DMC4, you can use any melee weapon at any given time. Maybe there's fewer weapons, but I don't know if that's a big deal when you can balance that out by using more weapons at a time. DMC3 had Quicksilver and Doppelganger, but is that such a big deal? Especially considering you can switch between styles on the fly?

Anyway, that's it for me posting off-topic comments.

 

[Demi-fiend]

The color-coded enemies are a flaw. The lack of lock-on is a flaw. I admit that.

However, I do like his character.

Didn't seem like all those "comments" were mere jokes to me. But that's just my opinion.

Edit:

Yes, it is a big deal to me. I didn't buy a new platform just to get less content.

Slapping the styles onto the D-Pad was a quick-fix to shove in all the moves available. A band-aid.

There should have been a more integral way to have half of them in there (not all, because that would be impossible) without having to switch.

They kind of did that with Nero's table-hopper. There should have been more gameplay elements like that.

What? What does it not seeming like a joke to you have anything to do with your opinion? The fact that most of them are jokes is pretty much objective, there's no subjective side to it. But Whatever, you're just saying that to avoid argument anyway.

And yeah I know you do, most of the Pro-DmC side resort to defending the story, which I'll give you that. It was probably better but not by a whole lot. Because it just uses cliche and was obvious nine months ago so it's rather pointless.

SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE!

Oh i would just prefer the number of weapons and styles (if not more) from dmc3 and mechanics from 4. You know, take best things from these two games and combine it.

That's what we all want and expect from a DMC5.

 

[Demi-fiend]

I admitted what I thought were flaws. And all I said was I that I didn't think the comments were jokes.

Now you're just coming off as overly aggressive.

The gameplay could have been improved with a lock-on, but it's by no means broken, and still very much entertaining.

When someone does a side-by-side comparison with the full game, and not just the demo, then I'll consider it to be fair judgement.

Not once did I describe any element within the old series as "pathetic".

I just said I didn't like it.

That's the difference between us.

See? Overly negative. You could have avoided using name-calling.

And I don't want to discuss the matter further with you. Right now, you're just seeing things the way you want to see them. People like that are too unreasonable to deal with.

LOL seriously dude, you're being really sensitive,Relax. Stop playing victim for no reason whatsoever. And okay, I get that but it's not opinion related and you were just trying to dodge an argument. And what kind of annoys me is that it seems to happen everywhere on the forum. But okay, I respect that.

Actually, the gameplay is full of glitches and seems like it barely went through any proper QA testing or debugs before released so it's pretty broken, but the core is intact.

Here you go, he reviewed both the demo and the game. But just because he said "Everything I said in the demo carries over to the full game" doesn't mean he's comparing it to the demo. It just didn't do any improvement at all.

i didn't find a single glitch in my entire playthrough, and i beat it multiple times -_- and still no glitches, the game isn't broken or full of anymore glitches than the old games, and btw, the demo and the actual game are actually different, seriously, we get it, you don't like the game, and even then, that's one of the people who say, "its not a true devil may cry game and it doesn't deserve any praise and it wasn't even made to be a devil may cry game hurr durr durr" yea that review wasn't completely subjective and biased at all, in other words, argument invalid once again, no need to derail every thread that actually talks positively about it -_-

 

[Lionheart]

I don't think I encountered even one glitch... in the demo, no less! Seriously, I think something may be wrong if you're experiencing glitches and others aren't. Either you're playing the game in a chaotic way, or your Xbox needs to update the game but hasn't, for some reason. If playing on PC, well, anything could be wrong.

I don't know a single review that's objective, but I don't expect you to understand. Because:

2.That you have a hard time differentiating fact from opinion

1) Tell me exactly what's different between the gameplay of the full game and the demo.
As far as I'm concerned, nothing is changed besides enemy waves in certain parts of the game.


2) Just because you didn't find glitches yourself, doesn't mean that the game isn't actually broken. There are tons of people who experienced bugs within the game on accident. Not on purpose. As well as this, there are plenty of glitches that prevent the player from progressing through the campaign mode as well.

Take a look at Super Smash Brothers Melee. Despite it being vastly different from DmC, it contained A LOT of bugs and glitches. However, before playing competitively, I didn't find a single glitch in that game. At that time, did it mean that Melee wasn't broken? No. But the moment I started playing the game more, I found numerous glitches as well seeing a ton of videos that show off how many things that were broken about Melee. Same thing can be said about DmC.

I don't think I encountered even one glitch... in the demo, no less! Seriously, I think something may be wrong if you're experiencing glitches and others aren't. Either you're playing the game in a chaotic way, or your Xbox needs to update the game but hasn't, for some reason. If playing on PC, well, anything could be wrong.

...No, just no.
Besides the 60fps change, nothing has made the PC version worse than the other versions.
