DmC: Devil May Cry

[Wolvieboy17]

I found the demo boring too but the demo really doesn't sell the presentation of the story which is what's really sucked me in.

Hmmm hadn't even considered PC. I tend to get most multi platform games on PS3 but if PC is supposed to be significantly better, than I might consider that. I have DMC4 on it but have never played through it but the small bit I did ran fine

PS3 unfortunately has the biggest problems with the framrate. Was hoping since NT has early exp with the PS3 it wouldnt be a problem. Hopefully they will patch it up soon. Alot of gamers are saying it still holds up solid regardless. Just not as tight as Xbox.

Ive heard the PS3 may hold better grpahics, but those comparisons can be minimal most the time.

Playing DMC1 HD. You know the camera is ****, when you can't see the gigantic, glowing, magma Spider, that you are fighting. The constant shifting of angles pisses me off!

No way, IGN said the Xbox version has the vastly superior graphics

Did they say for graphics too? Maybe I read wrong. I saw some comaprison thing I couldnt tell any difference.

Edit: I think they were just talking about the framrate.

Though it should be noted, with a certain severity, that the 360 version is clearly superior in this pair. Its PS3 counterpart struggles to keep a steady framerate which is sadly characteristic of PS3 games running on the Unreal Engine.

Man, I'm close to breaking stuff again. Was that damn Spider really that hard to beat 12 years ago? I already used up 8 continues and I haven't got his health down to half even once. I simply can't get the timing of his projectile attack down. I hit that ball like maybe once out of 5 tries. Plus the Boss always gets stuck at pillars, so I can never tell when he lowers his head to do that lava attack. And I can't mention enough how much that camera sucks. It's difficult enough to hit the projectile attacks when he's facing you. Try to hit that **** when you can't even see the boss.

Haha, what difficulty are you on?

 

[Nathan]

Normal. Yeah I suck. Beat him on my 13th continue, after I switched tactics on continue 11. F**k the orbs, I went straight for his ugly face and wasted 2 lives getting the pattern of his attacks down. After that it was a piece of cake.

Played the first level and couldnt be any more impressed. Wicked sick game. Love the visuals of limbo and Dante has some awesome animations. Loved the little crack about the old Dantes hair, that was awesome. Cant wait to get further into this game, having an absolute blast so far.

Not trying to hate on DmC, but I hate it when people say Ninja Theory saved Devil May Cry. I just go back and try to look at the facts and numbers. DMC1, great game. DMC2, sucked. DMC3, went back to form and beyond and delivered probably the best game in the franchise. DMC4, the game didn't focus on Dante anymore, the story is still nothing to write home about, but it sold over 2 Million copies and has a metacritic score of 8.4 from critics and 8.2 from users.

DmC basically is where it was 4 years ago. Now just with added grittiness, sex and tons of cursing.

 

[Jick]

Maybe they saved it from not being done. I don't think Capcom was planning to do DMC5. I heard one or two rumors after the fourth one launched and that was it.

I was striving for a new DMC game for all this time. I'm glad NT put as much effort as they did with this one.

They did save Devil May Cry. This series desperately needed a face lift. Its received just that in DmC. In the first hour and a half of gameplay, i havent heard any more cussing than any other M rated game. I have a feeling thats a non issue that the old fanboys are just picking at just for sake of whining now that their old Devil May Cry games are history.

 

[Nathan]

And still the old games did just fine. I give NT props for all the visuals, making the world feel more alive and trying to add a stronger narrative. But why couldn't they have done this without sacrificing all of Devil May Cry's history? Forget what happened to Dante, but they ****ed the entire family tree. Before this entire reboot fiasco, I used to imagine what it would be like if Capcom would bother to do a game focused on Sparda. The Legendary Dark Knight. The general of hell, who fought to separate the demon world from the human world. Well now he's a gimp. Back then I craved to find out new things and get more information on Dante's past and heritage. Now I couldn't care less.

This game...is ****ing awesome! Pros outweigh the cons quite a bit. Only thing thats really bugging me is Ive had quite a bit of glitches within 4 hours of gameplay. Wont weigh in the rest till its done.

This game is failing financially and I love every second of watching it burn. The people have spoken.

 

[Nathan]

Why? What's the current situation?

I just googled "dmc devil may cry sales" and no figures came up...my diagnosis:

WTF? How can one even say that when it hasn't even been out for a day?

Just wait full you get to the shadow creatures. I've been stuck on that for weeks and they aren't even a boss

 

[Nathan]

I just got to the Griffon. Got him down to half his health on my first try, but decided to take a break from it anyway. I need to continue in the morning. Fresh, with a clear head and less rage.
