By the time DMC came out I was infatuated with Dragon Ball Z. As a youngin' anxiously awaiting the next episode. I moved on to something that could draw out my jobless life. I went to the mall and I saw Dante's white hair and immediately started asking for it. With the game being a reasonable price and also that my older brother wanted to play it (survivor horror kind of guy), I got the game and watched him play it and when I watched him juggle those demons with guns and then he kept shooting....and wouldn't STOP shooting, I learned about diversity in combat. Now after he gets his ass handed to him, I take up the controller, played around in an empty room for a little bit to check responsiveness. I got into that room and I mean I demonlished every demon in there. (get it? Demonlished? Ahahaha....it's funny.)
When he asked "how" I did that. I said something I never thought I'd say about a video game "skill". It taught me that practice would be needed not only in schoolwork but video gaming too. First game I played where I felt like my reflexes and timing needed to be on que.
If you were wondering if I was able to keep up my demon demonlishing skills, I wasn't. Those gawd awful shadow dogs ****ed ME off like the piranhas in Ninja Gaiden!
I did wish that there were air combos like in this DmC though.
