Dmc

Play it and see.

>>387092828
It is harder. GoW 1 (or 2, don't remember) even had a trophy with a reference to it.
Every game of the series is different:
The first game has the looks of Castlevania and gameplay may feel slow now but think about it like it was closer to Zelda than games we have today like Bayonetta. Also, you may also know this game was a Resident Evil 4 prototype (Dante even looks as Leon). The ending is really good
Second game was not made by the original creator (Hideki Kamiya), capcom even was disrespectful with him and rushed it for cheap money. We had the luck another good developer took the game before release and it was somewhat playable. The best thing about it is the looks, transformation, the evade options, music and the ending.
I'll talk about 3 in the next post

Inifinitely better gameplay systems going on. I hold 3 and 4 as the peak of the genre

>>387093853
Does it have puzzles like god of war. ? I never minded the puzzles in gow1. They were a bit annoying in gow2 but nothing too bad. Gow acension puzzles where just way out of hand for me.

>>387093853
3 was also called 0 because it is previous to the first. It was developed completely by Itsuno (the one who fixed 2) and is considered by many as the best game in the series. It's battle system, characters, level designe, music, bosses, even jokes influenced almost every other japanese hack&slash. It is highly recomended even if you don't like the first. I don't want to talk about the story but it is my favorite because Dante is younger.

>>387093853
As someone that loves Ninja Gaiden and likes God of War, I could never get into DMC.

I only tried DMC3, though. Maybe I would like the first game.

>>387094065
In fact I was dissapointed because only the first has challenging puzzles. I think GoW are better designed. The next have really obvious puzzles or battle focused ones.

Make sure to play the first, don't skip to 3 like a sperg because you heard it has the best gameplay. DMC1 is the best of the games overall, as it has the best environments, atmosphere, music and enemy design in the series. DMC3/4 do have better gameplay, but the combat shifted more towards being overly combo heavy, and enemies are made a little more passive to compensate.

>>387094281
DMC was always about stringing together small combos in a freestyle sort of way. 1 is a bit clunkier and older-feeling than 3 so your opinion won't change unless the series in general grows on you.

>>387094369
That's good I don't mind them as long as they are not stupid puzzles. I might pick up the had collection for ps3. What's your opinion on DMC. The reboot?

DMC 3 is like RE4.
unexpected variety and Length, Replay value and amazing gameplay.
DMC 1 is cool, but it all takes place in the castle and the gameplay isnt quite there, its still fun enough to be worth a playthrough

>>387094731
What a retarded-ass post.
>DMC 3 is like RE4.
What?

>DMC 1 is cool, but it all takes place in the castle and the gameplay isnt quite there,
The gameplay is there, you just want it to play like DMC3/4 instead of DMC1

>>387092828
Better gameplay, shittier everything else.

>>387094840
>DMC 3 is like RE4.
>What?
its a capcom game made on PS2.
DMC3, RE4, and plenty other really show the jump in quality and quantity from the PS1.
the extra disc space put to good use.
and the games feel lengthy, play well and have a ton of variety.
they are just timeless in a same way like that.
they just have the same feel, where you think you got your moneys worth and you want to get right back into it.

>>387094242
In 4 they wanted to replace Dante because the story get to a critical point in 2, wich is still the last in the timeline. Just like Street Fighter, they put a new main character and just like in SF, people bitched out and we got Dante. The game was taking so much time to develop so Capcom rushed it and it came out like "in half" so the story feels short, missions get repetitive, puzzles are forgettable and are fighting focused, music is recycled, Dante's moves are recycled, in fact, almost everything except for the new character. The game has the best gameplay in the series being fast and powerful, bosses are also cool but it is hard to be cool about it because everything is just "short" (Im not american so I dont find another word for it): little amount of weapons (main character just has 1, Dante 3) levels from the second half are the same ones from the first, etcetera. Long story short, it is awesome but not that much if you played 3. There is a Special Edition released for PS4 and PC wich added some other characters but nothing to the game. Not even a boss. So that's it. If you don't want to play old games and don't care for the story or other stuff just play this because its gameplay still feels great. As other anon's said Ninja Gaiden is cool too, Bayonetta is cool too, Dantes Inferno, Shinobi, etc.

Oh, and evade DmC: devil may cry. It is a shame for the series and that guy is Dante only in name

>>387094570
I just comented it but that game is atrocious for the lore (wich not everyone cares but I do) and gameplay. You press buttons and get rewarded like you are the coolest guy ever. It has retarded jokes and story, nothing to do with capcom characters like Megaman, Strider, Ken, etc.

>>387094281
>I only tried DMC3, though. Maybe I would like the first game.
Maybe, do it. DMC1 and 3 are very different experiences. Enemies in the first are far more aggressive than the later games, and the game isn't slowed down by pin-needle combos.

>>387095179
>Shinobi
Shinobi is pretty rad but it's rather different from DMC and NG.

>>387094281
DMC3 is so hard to get in. First boss is in fact one of the hardest from the game. If you get stuck just change the difficulty level so you can buy every abbility (like double jump, because you have to buy double jump for every weapon!! thats something no one tells you).

And yeah, play the first one.

As someone who played DmC first i can second this, its not nostalgiafag hate to that new Dante, even if he was a stand alone in another series that wasnt devil may cry it is pretty shit and edgy
The gameplay is cool btw, easy to get in but hard to master, so if you can ignore the shitty story, bad boss fights you have a fun game

>>387098146
Skip 2 too.

>>387098146
>The reboot is better than 2 though
2 adds features that inherently help the series so it can be appreciated for that. DmC adds nothing positive to the series and is not a well designed game by any means so you can't even appreciate it by its legacy.

>>387098062
This guy is a cunt_______
Seriously though, when I say casual filter I mean "if you're a fucking idiot who tries to button mash his way through the game you're going to get your shit kicked in" and that's exactly what happens with the first level since the demon guy will always show up and rip new players apart.

>>387098220
the problem is 2 is a bad DMC game meanwhile "reboot" must not be considered one

>>387098272
2 is legitimately an awful game, DmC is a solid 5/10 while the 2 in DMC2 refers to 2/10. People can vicariously appreciate 2 by seeing how awesome 3 is.

>>387098691
You missed my point

>>387098436
I don't know. I'd call it a bad game all around.

It has a kinda nice atmosphere and the music is the best in the series, but DMC or not, it's a chore to play.

>>387094892
>shittier everything else
Except story, wich it is equal, and character/style/music in wich it's infinitely better

>>387098749
You were saying 2 introduced things that would later be refined upon in 3 meaning it should be appreciated more than DmC as it did nothing but kill the series, I agree with that to a certain extent but that's still no reason to play it. It's probably the worst action game ever made bar none.

>love God of War
maybe a bit too complex for your type

>>387094448
Does DMC1 still have good fun gameplay?

They really aren't good games honestly but if you like the genre they're worth playing

>>387098945
>It's probably the worst action game ever made bar none
Did you ever play Red Ninja on PS2? If you haven't, good, don't change a thing. You can probably argue that it's a stealth game but either way it's fucking shit and DMC2 is way better. That's the only one I can think of right now but there's probably plenty other games DMC2 shits all over.

>>387099030
Yes. It's not about making crazy combos like 3 and 4 so don't expect that or you'll be disappointed.

>>387099261
>Did you ever play Red Ninja on PS2?
No and DMC2 being compared favorably to it has just solidified that I never will.

DMC3 is best DMC game. DMC4 has the combat, but that's it. It doesn't have the A.I. to back the combat depth so in order for you to actually like DMC4 you have to be someone that is extremely autistic.

>>387099330
man, if you the A.I. in 3 was good I feel really bad for you.

>>387099314
That's what I'm saying. DMC2 is bad but saying it's "the worst action game bar none" is a stretch to say the least. As dull as the entire thing is, the main character controls decently, you can say that about every game out there.

>>387099451
>DMC2 is bad but saying it's "the worst action game bar none" is a stretch to say the least.
Well obviously it was hyperbole but it is the worst one I've ever played then again I've really only played the DMCs, God Hand, Bayonetta, W101 and the two NG games worth playing so I haven't been exposed to a lot of trash out there.

>>387099382
If you think the AI in 4 is better than 3 not only are you delusional but you honestly haven't played a single DMC game.

>>387099521
Well I hope you never get to waste your time with true undistilled garbage. Then again the nice thing about really shitty games is that you smell the trash from a mile away so you generally don't waste a lot of time with them.

>>387099884
True that, once I saw Ninja Theory's name on Hellblade I knew to stay the fuck away.

Yes, but here each attack is more deliberate and leaves you open. Plays a lot more like an old school beat em up, and still has plenty of moves to switch things up. Like the other anon said though, don't go in expecting to go overboard with combos. Most enemies outside the marionettes are designed to not allowed to be juggled at all. Biggest problem is that gunswitching requires a menu.

Yeah, skip DMC2. Terrible

You see, you could have just said you don't know what you're talking about and you would have been let off the hook, but you instead decided to show your ignorance. If you're talking boss A.I. then bar none 4 is better so I'm assuming you're referring to base enemy A.I., of course that would be assuming you know what A.I. actually is but I'm going to be generous and pretend like that not only do you know what that means but that you actually have played 4, let alone any actual DMC game, and if we look past the scarecrows we see enemies that are actually responsive to your hits in the case that they actually will hit you back if you let up over a certain degree and actually require you to know what you're doing, i.e. assume that you're smart enough to remember when you should properly weapon or style switch at that moment in time or properly dodge and retaliate with Nero since his options are somewhat limited. the prime example of this would be in the hated chimera's because they aren't just randomly flipping at you they're requiring you to pay attention to both the sound cues and how many hits you land on them before you back away/royal guard/etc. You can see it in other enemies as well if you look close enough, but considering your lack of knowledge on the subject I doubt you would have noticed.

If you're going to call someone delusional and claim they haven't touched the series, it would be in you best interest to actually have something resembling an argument in your post. Also note that I didn't even bring up 4's A.I. you just threw it at me because you knew you didn't want to get thrown under the bus for being wrong, but it's okay anon. I won't let anyone know you actually thought that 3s enemies, which are at either time, stiff and unthreatening, or just flat out god awful were in some way good.

1st DMC is literally 3D Castlevania done right.

Also DMC2 might be ass, but it has the best Dante (in design, not personality) and the 2nd best OST after the first game. Hell, sometimes I think DMC2 might have the best OST in the franchise after all.

>>387092828
Play 1,3 and 4 ignore the rest.

>>387100489
Everything in DMC3 is aggressive as fuck while everything in DMC4 just walks around as if you're not even there in the same existence as them.

>>387101249
Bloodborne is actually 3D castlevania done right (threaded cane whip mode only)
Castlevania is just Hellsing without the focus on vampires.

>>387095965
I was just providing a cautionary message; going into Shinobi with the intent of pummeling enemies with flashy combos probably won't make for a fun experience.

If you buster or snatch it, you get whatever's on top of the dice at the time.

>>387103804
You hit the dice when the number you want is at the top

Anyway DMC4 has a lot of issues but having the worst enemies in the franchise after DMC2 is its biggest issue. I get it, you don't want to go back to DMC1's school of enemy design, at least improve on DMC3 which has some good enemies and patterns, but nope, DMC4 just fucked everything up.

>>387103804
Wut? I'm not good at DMC4 in the fucking least - if anything, I need to finally get off my lazy ass and start practicing the game again, but the dice game is INCREDIBLY easy to cheese. I do it every time I play the game. Just pay attention to the number displayed at the very top of the die, then use your Devil Buster if you're playing Nero or just slash it once as Dante. The die will always move that number of spaces, every single time. Count the number of spaces the die needs to move in and just do that.

Pretty sure he considers 3 (at least) to be legitimately amazing games that improved on the foundation of DMC1. The team also played a bit of 4 for some inspiration. But you'll notice that there's still a lot of game design stuff in Bayonetta and W101 that haven't really been in DMC since 1, like more scripted encounters, more spectacle, random changes in gameplay, etc.

He should keep doing it, he and Mikami are two of the most creative directors out there and it seems silly to have Kamiya chained down to a single series.
W101 was sheer ludo too, shame no one played it.

>>387105289
>DMC is the only franchise he has expressed interest in making a sequel for.
That's not true though. He's said that he's wanted to make Okami 2 and Viewtiful Joe 3 before. The sad thing is, he'll probably never get to do any of them. The man has some sort of curse where he never gets to make sequels to any of the games he's made.

>>387105326
Well Vergil is none of these things in DmC so it's pretty appropriate

That's a good point. Still, I think even if the game was a reboot, he still should've been like that. The core of a character should remain intact after a reboot and Ninja Theory completely failed at that.

True, it kind of sucks that Kamiya didn't direct Bayo 2 as there were some cool ideas in there but fuck whoever thought balancing combat around Witch Time and Umbran Climax was a good idea. Playing that game on Infinite Climax was actually not fun.

No it definitely isn't. The combat being fundamentally balanced around Witch Time is the game's first major flaw, this means that certain moves will only certain properties like launch capability if you are in Witch Time which makes enemies that were usually just there to style on extremely tedious to fight because you have to bait out an attack, dodge, activate Witch Time and then combo and continue this loop throughout. Then you have the humanoid bosses who will infinitely dodge everything you throw at them unless you're in Witch Time which is just not fun at all, then the bosses that aren't humanoid are all on rails flying bosses which completely removes an axis of movement from the player and all they have to do is activate Witch Time and mash buttons.

Then we go to Umbran Climax which is a neat idea but implemented terribly. It completely renders the magic bar useless since there's never a reason to not use Umbran Climax, as once again the game is balanced around this so you can't do a lot of things without it and you can mostly just mash here and clean house.

It's not bad but it's a sharp decline from its predecessor and it's very obvious that Kamiya didn't work on it (this is a good thing in some instances though as there's no dumb mini games).

>>387106305
Because that guy got confused, you don't go towards the shadow, you go the opposite way.

There are only around 10 characters or less that anyone could care about.

I don't think it would work.

>>387107551
So you want a 2.5D REAL fighting game that consist of DMC-only characters? I don't think that would be a smart thing for Capcom to do since DMC is an action game, not a fighting game. Sure they wrok well in FIghting Games, and that's what Capcom has been doing this entire time----placing them in versus fighting games. I'd rather have DMC5.

>>387107931
They're good at doing that because Itsuno was a developer for sever really good fighting games, so he took that philosophy and made a really fucking good action game.

>>387108087
But a DMC-only fighting game wouldn't sale or even have a large enough community. Like, that would be a fighting game with at the most 10 characters.

>>387108212
>DMC-only fighting game wouldn't sale or even have a large enough community
Eh, it might if they disguise it as a Power Stone game

>>387108212
This.

However, a better thing Capcom could do is make a new Darkstalkers game and throw in Dante and maybe even Vergil too as guest characters. I mean, the idea is incredibly obvious, so they won't do it but it'd be really cool.

>>387108257

Can't defend Arkham, though

>>387111291
shinobi developed completely different ideas than the other 3d action games of its generation. instead of a complex variety of utility moves, shinobi has just a few core verbs -- but their uses are really complicated

for example, you have an iframe dash. simple. but you can also dash in the air. and if you hit an enemy in the air, you regain your dash, so by chain killing enemies in the air, you can fly. however, if you get hit you will fall, so it is important to kill quickly. when you kill an enemy, your damage doubles for a brief period of time. this stacks. to use that time effectively, you need to dash between enemies. some enemies guard, so your dash needs to end behind them. some enemies have a lot of health, so you want to chain them last...etc.

an encounter with eight enemies might take two seconds if you execute it perfectly, or a minute if you execute it badly. this matters because your sword is cursed and it's constantly killing your character unless it's fed with blood

all of the mechanics work together to pressure you to constantly murder everyone you see as quickly as possible while you literally fly across skyscrapers and run on walls. it's exciting as hell and it manages it without any kind of combo gameplay

DMC1 doesn't have that much combos or good puzzles compared to GoW but level design, bosses and everything else is top tier.

DMC4 backtracking can get boring but mostly everything is a batter version of 3 except few devil arms and story doesn't feel important

DmC is the best in the series in terms of gameplay which is all I care about
