Worst DMC3 experience... I think playing the whole game was my best and worst experience at the same time. Let's tell a little story of it:
DMC3 is the first DMC game I've ever played. It's also the first hack and slash game I've ever played. I knew DMC beforehand, though, since I had been a fan of it through the anime and manga and novels, but never thought I'd be any good at the games so I just ignored them (because when I was 7 years old I ended up playing a horror PS1 game at a friend's house and got so scarred I couldn't play anything even remotely scary after that, lol).
However, I have a sibling who knew I liked Dante and one Christmas said person gave me the 3rd DMC game as a present because even if couldn't remember the series, could recognize Dante on the cover, and link it to me that way. So there I was, happy with the title being DMC, but unsure of it could I handle it. I gave it a try with my sibling sittign there with me, and realized it was not at all scary, but instead it was helluva hard. I died and died over and over again in the second mission till the game informed me it had opened up the easy mode. I hadn't known there was such a mode and I had a good laugh at it that even the machine thought I was crap.
With the easy mode I hacked and slashed away slowly. I practiced and failed, practiced some more and failed regardless. At some point I had nursed Dante so upgraded that I began to progress. But while Dante got in better condition, I went for the worst. I had developed a tendovaginitis to my right thumb and couldn't use it; so I used my forefinger. Then for my dismay I sprained my forefinger and it had to be wrapped up with those what-do-you-call-them sticks under the bandages to keep the finger straight. And with such fingers I was also kept away from gaming.
When healed, I returned to play DMC3. I was still crap, but at least better than in the beginning. But it took me one year to complete the game... on easy mode. Sad, I know. I had received DMC3 on Christmas, and I got it finished on the easy mode in the beginning of the next December.
So, all in all, I had a frustrating but still extremely fun year with DMC3; a lot happened during that time, but telling all of it would be breath-taking.
I'm just happy I'm not that poor a gamer nowadays, though I still could be lots and lots better. xP
