DmC had me and then it lost me - Page 3

On reflection that [DMC1] may have been the last original game Capcom made.

I dunno, I thought Ghost Trick was pretty original.

...The dumbest part is that sudden spate of inexplicable sanity where all of a sudden they got it right again in DMC3 and then proceeded directly back to their chosen path of fucking up.

Yeah I was kind of hoping Capcom would continue along its earlier pattern of the the odd-numbered DMC games being awesome and the even-numbered ones being crappy, that way I would know which ones to bother looking at. But NEW!Dante appears to be breakin' Capcom's combo.

Powers as the plot demands? Check.
Overdramatic bullshit lines? (FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!) Check.

And yet somehow it was still awesome.

Granted, DMC3 had HORRIBLE voice acting and lines, yet was also amazing. Capcom, why do you do these things?!

Okay I guess I supressed that memory from DMC1 because it was terrible. DMC1 WAS kind of overdramatic at times. Honestly when I think DMC I think DMC 3 because it was fucking awesome all over the place. DMC 1 was awesome too, just I liked 3 better personally. I do think 1 had better atmosphere, though. And it was harder.

(Also Dante isn't FUCKING TERRIBLE like Nero so him being overdramatic is much more tolerable.)

DMC1 was great but it has problems. DMC3 is the best.

We do not talk about 2.

I actually quite enjoyed DMC 2. It was also my introduction to the series (I had the kind of parents who would just get you something randomly from the middle of a series for christmas or whatever. like OH HEY HERE'S BOOK FIVE OUT OF A SERIES YOU'VE NEVER READ.). It was pretty stylish, the atmosphere was pretty nifty, the wall running and combat and stuff was all pretty legit, but some of the enemy design was shitty, and the story was ehhh. The main HUGE ASS issue was that it was way too goddamned easy.

And boring.
Boring. Boring. BORRRRRRRRRIIIINNNNNNNGGGGGGG.

4 was my first game in the series, and I really liked it. It would have been better if they hadn't forced you to run through the entire game again backward, but Nero isn't THAT annoying.

Well, okay, I'll admit I paid little to no attention to the cutscenes. My point is that it was cool to have access to two characters with completely different styles. I want to see more of that.

I started with 1, played 2, Enjoyed the hell out of 3, and owned 4.

I currently own games 1, 3, 3 Special Edition, and 4.

1 is an excellent game that has it's own minor issues but I still love it.

2's story actually hurts to think about.

3 is my favorite which is like saying "Man Chocolate is my favorite brown thing to eat" in a series like this.

4 had some big issues but I can appreciate what they tried with it and at least they gave us Dante half way through.

I really wish DmC was that theory I read on here, that it's just some loonytunes Devil Hunter that got brainwashed into thinking he was Dante, in order to make him hunt down and kill Dante. But we know that ain't happening.

Ramary · 12-09-2011, 06:46 PM

It also does not help that Ninja Theory made 3 games prior to this, all of them being crap to mehhhhhhhhhhhh.

Like why would you take one of the most immediately recognizable character designs of the last 15 years and turn him into Tyler Durden.

It's like if one day Miyamoto got out of bed and said you know what the problem is with Mario, is that he doesn't look enough like Shia LeBouf.
