Heh, I'm pretty much just posting threads about every game I've been playing lately, just out of boredom. I have no idea if anyone on this board is much of a fan of the Devil May Cry series, but I've really grown to love it. I've had the first game for a long time, and I thought it kicked ass... then I grew distant from it for no good reason, only to rediscover it and remember how much ass it kicked. I got the second and third games; the second one to affirm that it is the weakest in the series, and the third to see how it has evolved from the first game in terms of asskickery. It'll still be a while before I get an XBOX 360 for the fourth game, but in the meantime, discuss anything and everything about the trials of Dante and his smart-aleck mouth. |

Ah, if you were a fan of the previous games, you'll definitely love Devil May Cry 4 when you get your hands on it :D. It might not be quite as good as the third one, but it's still a really damn good entry in the series. Make sure you pick yourself up a copy of the special edition when you get it, as it comes with the first 4 episodes of the anime as well as some other neat stuff (you might want to eBay it so you can get the GameStop pre-order online art booklet, too). The anime also actually DOES tie into the games, which is neat, too. Devil May Cry may not be one of my favorite series ever, but it's definitely a good one. Honestly, I think a lot of what makes it so great is Dante's total badassery. He's seriously one of the coolest characters in gaming history. |

The shit I've seen Dante do in DMC3 so far is just so ridiculously over-the-top that I can't help but think highly of the guy. He is, for all intents and purposes, an absolute badass... and, admittedly, a bit of an inspiration for my OC Valdon for Chronicles of the Raven. :D So, from what I gather, 3's your favorite? I need to beat the game to judge it fairly, but so far, it's about on par with the first. The action is quite a bit more intense, and the weapons are all very kickass so far. However, DMC3 doesn't quite have the same fear-instilling atmosphere as the first did; the atmosphere in the first game was comparable to Resident Evil in overall creepiness. I'm not sure why I'm getting that from the third game, but meh; it's mostly a stylistic alteration that doesn't matter much in the long run. :p |

!!! So, I'm not the only one who thought that. Every time I tried to explain that to a friend, they had no idea what I was talking about :lol. I always thought that was one of the most positive qualities of the first one, and something I enjoyed quite a bit (Shinji Mikami was the executive producer, and if I remember correctly something about its development was tied to Resident Evil). As far as my favorite goes, it probably is the third one, it's just that the first one's gameplay has aged a little bit poorly and 3 made quite a few obvious improvements... Plus, I really like 3's over-the-top cutscenes, they remind me of Neo Contra's (why wasn't Neo Contra further appreciated :(?). Both the first and the third have a lot of positive qualities about them, but I felt that the third surpassed the first enough to be considered the better game, losing some of the charm the original had while at the same time building up its own. They're both great games, however, and my putting the third above the first really isn't made with absolute certainty as I haven't played the first in a little while and I watched my brother play the third more than I played it myself (I didn't actually beat it, myself, but I watched him play through the game in its entirety several times, including Virgil's mode and Bloody Palace with both characters). |

Sam, Mikami was indeed heavily involved in the production on the first game, and I do believe it was originally intended as some sort of Resident Evil gaiden. It eventually broke off into its own creation, but I can definitely see where the influences of RE come into play. It's pretty strong from the get-go, especially with that creepy tune playing in the main foyer of the castle. Total RE1 flashbacks of the foyer in THAT game as well. Welp, I've played a hell of a lot of DMC3 on my Easter break. Let's see what I can say about it... 1: Yes, the cutscenes are very entertaining for the purposes of ridiculousity. I've got to admit, the story is actually pretty good as well. 2: Dear lord, I hate fighting Beowulf. Am I the only one who's always beaten this jerk with only a sliver of life left? It seems that to beat him, I almost always pull Braunles... there have also been some moments where I ALMOST beat him, only to have him go berserk and smash away the last remnants of my life when only a couple more slashes from Rebellion would do him in. :( 3: After getting to know DMC3 front and back, I'll have to agree with you in that it outclasses the first game. DMC1 is still great, but I'll admit that it has not aged super-well. And, of course, DMC2 was even less intuitive than the first game. Despite having more weapons and enemies, both were barely as intuitive as Alastor and Ifrit or the myriad of tough mofos in the first game. I still contend that DMC2 wasn't horrible, but it definitely is the weakest entry of the series. Yet DMC3 is a game that I've played for the first time three years after its release, and it really feels like something that could have easily been produced this year. Ironic I say that, since I have yet to play DMC4 (and probably won't get to for a while <_< ), but I get the feeling DMC3 will stand up better to the test of time than its predecessors. For sentimental reasons, I'll have to say that the first is still my favorite, but DMC3 is fast becoming well liked in my book. 4: Even though the gameplay and graphics are superior to the first game, I'd rather take the chilling soundtrack of DMC1 any day over the somewhat grating soundtrack of this one. There were some cool tunes (Lady's battle theme especially), but it gets dragged down by the main battle theme. Who are the ad wizards that decided on this music having cheesy lyrics?! Unfortunately, I hear that DMC4's soundtrack is mostly like DMC3's in terms of style... aw well. I do like to have cool music while playing games, but it's not super-important. 5: Oh man, playing as Vergil is hyper-badass. Even if he's not quite as diverse as Dante, the Summoned Swords just totally kick super-ass. After I'm done powering up Dante's styles and weapons to the maximum and have kick Dante Must Die mode's ass, I'll have to do the same with the V-man. (Wow, I sure have used "ass" a lot in what I just said. :lol ) 6: Sam, question for you: Do you think the game becomes a bit too easy by using the "Gold" system of continuing that became available in the Special Edition as opposed to the traditional "Yellow?" I went with Gold because people bitched the old way was too hard, and I can see why... I'm just wondering if maybe I made it a bit easier than it should be. I dunno. Also, if and when you get the time, I'd like to hear pros and cons about DMC4 from you. I'll most likely get it no matter what, but I want to know what I'm getting into beforehand. General praises I've heard mention that the combat still rules, and despite not being Dante, Nero's actually pretty awesome to play as. Though, on the flip side, I've heard that (as I've mentioned above) the soundtrack is annoying, and the game seems to be ripping off God of War at some points (most notably with Nero's Devil Bringer and the Savior boss, who I must admit bears quite a resemblance to the Colossus of Rhodes from GoW2). Affirm and add as you will. :) |

I think that as DMC further expands, more people will tend to respect the first one for it's unique feel that wasn't really adequately redone. Also, regarding DMC4 - http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/v...Devil-May-Cry-4 A lot of people tend to really like this guy. I personally think this is one of his really weak reviews and that he gets far too opinionated on silly matters and exaggerates, but eh, thought I'd link to him if you haven't seen his reviews before (this isn't really the best one to link to first, though, you might want to watch some of the others which are linked to on there). You might like some of his other reviews, but this guy is even more critical than I am, and most of my friends consider me to be overbearingly critical on newer games. Personally, I strongly agree with him on a few of his reviews, like the ones on Phantom Hourglass, Call of Duty 4, his view on the three consoles, his view on Nintendo, and a couple of others.
He is a total asshole, but he makes some pretty cool gauntlets. I personally liked Beowulf better than Ifrit and DMC4's Gilgamesh.
I kind of feel the same way... All this talk is really making me want to replay the first one. However, I've been stuck being addicted to and trying to get all the achievements in Mass Effect, lately. I've pooled over a hundred hours in the game (it's unreal for me to like a current gen game this much) and I'm nearly complete, once I'm done (I don't have much left to do and can probably finish it today if I actually get started on finishing it), I'm going to definitely want to play something else or nothing at all for a while.
:lol To be completely honest, I actually like that horrible music because it's so... just so bad that it's "good." Kind of like Metallica's St. Anger album. The lyrics are just so corny and terrible I can't help but admire them a little bit and I did feel they were appropriate to DMC3's wacky, over-the-top nature. I'm not trying to say it was actually talented music or anything, just that listening to angry people try to be serious in songs with lyrics that are that bad is fun. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FB3N0AKM There's a download link to the song played during the credits. Listen to it a couple of times and tell me those lyrics aren't awesomely terrible, hahaha.
One rather disappointing thing about DMC4 is that you can't play as both characters on every stage like you can with Virgil in DMC3. :(
In all honesty I don't use items when playing. I always thought using them at all was cheap :p Same goes for health items during boss fights in the newer Castlevania games and similar principles in a lot of games. Gold orbs return in DMC4.
Nero is actually pretty awesome to play as, but I honestly didn't like playing as him all that much. He doesn't get any alternating styles and I thought that his "devil bringer" or whatever it was called was sort of gimmicky. I didn't like having to grab enemies a lot to chain combos. I'm not saying playing as him isn't fun, he just isn't as fun as Dante (at least, in my opinion).
I own a copy of God of War, but I still haven't really played it, so I can't really confirm or deny if DMC4 is ripping it off. From what little God of War I played, it seemed to have a lot of "push button to do x scripted chain of attacks," and Nero's devil bringer does feel a teensy bit like that on a couple of boss fights, but it's more just "grabbing" at the right opportunity then mashing the fuck out of whichever button your thumb mashes faster. My biggest complaints about the game are that if you start off on the higher of the two initially available difficulties, you are forced to abuse the holy hell out of the available combos you have and the game gets very repetitive, very quickly. It's not that it's hard, just repetitive, enemies have a lot of health and having to do the same thing so much gets old. This is remedied by playing the lower difficulty first, which lets you get enough proud souls to have a variety of combos, though. Even after that, however, I still felt that Nero was a bit limited. Another complaint is that you don't get to play as Dante enough, and when you do, minus 1 stage, you're just backtracking (and even fighting the same bosses with him). Playing as Dante was actually really fun and there was plenty to do with him, so I was rather disappointed they didn't give me an option to replay all the stages with him. One thing about the game that really pissed me off is this completely asinine board-game like thing you do in the game. The first time you see it, you think it's just a silly gimmick that somehow made it in (like the review I linked mentioned), but it comes back on the last stage and it's just utterly God damned stupid. You basically just smack a dice around that moves you around a series of circular game spaces. Some of the game spaces summon enemies and it's completely random whether or not you'll land on one of the spaces that will advance you to the next area, so, in theory, it's possible you could end up smacking the dice around and going in a circle, missing the space that will take you to the next area (Did I mention this is the place where you fight all the boss again for the THIRD time?) and having to fight enemies for quite a large amount of time before you actually move on. The best thing about that board game area in the end is that, surprise, it's timed! So if you're a perfectionist going for all S ranks and want to get an S on time you better hope you're both damned lucky and damned good at the game. Speaking of being a perfectionist, if you're going for all the achievements in this game, you'll probably kill yourself before you get them... Some of them are just way too hard to get, like beating all the stages in "Hell or Hell" mode where the difficulty is cranked up AND you die in a single hit. Anyway, a lot of what I'm doing is nitpicking, and DMC4 is really a pretty good game... I just find it easier to complain than praise :p I recommend picking it up if you're as big a fan of the series as you seem, I don't think you'll be more than slightly disappointed as it almost lives up to DMC3 despite my criticism. |

That's a good way to put it. I mean, past couple of weekends, I've been playing the holy hell out of DMC3 with both Dante and Vergil, and I think it's simply awesome. HOWEVER... I'm still tempted to call DMC1 my favorite for its sentimental purposes. I love how the original can still be the best despite being outclassed. I seemed to have mentioned this when we were discussing Metal Slug.
I am indeed familiar with Yahtzee, whom I mostly watch for the humor value. In my opinion, he's entitled to be hyper-harsh if it makes for some good comedy. :lol Though, I agree that his look at DMC4 is a bit caught up in the minor details. He says that he loves it for the combat, which, at is essence, is perhaps the most important thing of the game. I'd be able to forgive some of the flaws if the core gameplay is a blast, but he drags it down for everything that isn't the gameplay. Bad form, in my opinion. However, I'm not going to deny that he's made real good points for other titles.
Suddenly, the big B doesn't seem so bad anymore. Lemme tell ya: Vergil totally OWNS the futhermucker. Actually, I did much better playing overall with Vergil than I did with Dante. How odd. :lol
Oh well, s'long as it's not World of Warcraft. I'd really like to play this Mass Effect game myself. I've honestly heard nothing but good about it.
Ah, that explains it... I utterly loathed St. Anger and everything it stood for. :rollin
... heh. Heheheheheheh. I'll have to play through with the sound on next time. When I blew through the game with Vergil on Normal, I kept the volume down/mute while I interjected with my own music. For some reason, Dream Theater's "Constant Motion" fits very well with the game overall. :lol
Are you able to play as either Nero or Dante for some of the levels? I imagine some of them are this way because of the Grim Grips and how Dante has no Devil Bringer to get them.
If that's the method they stick with, then I'll stay with it as well.
That's the general consensus that I'm getting. Though, it's ironic; in DMC2, I've done better with Lucia than I have Dante, and in DMC3, I've done better with Vergil than I have Dante. I may find myself doing better with Nero when I finally get around to DMC4. Yet despite all this, Dante is still THE man for all ages. What's up with that? :lol
Mmmkay. As long as they don't have Nero yanking the eyeballs out of cycloptic monsters, we won't have any basis for plagarism. :lol
Unlike DMC3, where Dante gradually accumulates more weapons and levels up with his styles, Nero starts out with most of his important tactics already in his arsenal. I can see this as a legitimate complaint for certain.
I've heard that's unfortunate too. I hope the flavor of using the awesome-looking Pandora's Box doesn't die out too quickly.
I've heard nothing but suckiness about this board game. HOWEVER... it's funny. It actually sounds very similar to one of my favorite scenes in video game history: The Dice Palace in Gunstar Heroes. That sucked a lot less on the premises that A: The board was linear, and the only way you'd loop is if you hit a certain space (which only works once anyway), and B: There was a completely different fight for each individual space. This sounds like the poor man's rendition of that scenario.
Well, that does suck. Though, as far as achievements are concerned, my feelings are summed up in this comic 'ere: http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=258
Hey, I make a good counterpart. I find it far easier to compliment than to criticize! :lol Yeah, I'm pretty poor as a critic, mostly because I'm just too nice and I think every game has something worth considering. However, here is my final word on wanting to get DMC4: I've played DMC2, and I agree that it's the weakest of the series. However, I think it's not as abominable as others say it is, and it's not too poor as an action title. And I know for certain that DMC4 is much better than DMC2. Hence, it's a very simple bit of reasoning that I will like DMC4. :D |

The first Metal Slug also had some very unique style that didn't quite make it into the others (though 3 is still my favorite). One of my favorite things about the first game that they never brought back was that soldiers would grab onto your slug while you were in it, which was just really cool.
Yeah, he seems to really nitpick a lot. Have you seen his review on Call of Duty 4? He actually really likes that one, and I agree with nearly every point that he makes. That game is really surprisingly good, and not another "Medal of Honor" kinda thing. Whenever you get a 360, you should look into getting 2 and/or 4, as they're both great and developed by the same guys. Perhaps 2 first, since it's cheaper and will build up to 4 being the better one.
:rollin
I absolutely loved it, a real revolution in both role-playing games and science fiction games. The story is fantastic and the character interaction is tops, the amount of situations your character has control over and the numerous options for what can happen is really mindblowing, they really went all out. Unfortunately, some of the actual core gameplay is a little glitchy and it could have spent a little longer in development due to that, but the story and dialogue wasn't harmed one bit.
One of my friends can't even believe that I listen to it just to laugh at it, he says it's so bad that there's nothing redeemable whatsoever, so awful that it extends beyond "so awful it's good" and into "retcon this from reality." You may enjoy this parody if you haven't seen it... http://youtube.com/watch?v=odVbjYeeCiU
THE EYE CAN SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE EYE CAAAAAN SEEEEEEEEEEEEE THE EYE CAN SEE
If you haven't heard of this already, there's a really neat feature for the 360 that lets you rip your music to it... and play it whenever you're playing a game. It'll play instead of whatever the default music is, and it's really damn cool for some games. It'll make DMC4 a lot more fun if you can't stand it :lol
Nope, not a one. It's always pre-decided.
He's just that cool :lol
Well... actually... :| Nah, just kidding :p
Pandora's Box is a little awkward to use, but was my favorite projectile weapon for Dante. Once you upgrade it you can use this fucking sweet laser cannon and it's just... well, it's just really damned cool :p If you master Gunslinger, you unlock a couple of additional forms for Pandora, too, including that weird "sphere o' missiles" (as I like to call it).
Unfortunately, it's nothing really like that. You might actually enjoy it the first time (hey, it wasn't so bad... then), but the second time when the board is huge, segmented, and circular, I'm pretty sure you'll hate it. To be honest, it wasn't that bad having to deal with it, it was just a really stupid idea... Then again, I got really lucky with my dice rolls and didn't get stuck, but if I had, I'm pretty sure I could easily see myself losing it.
Initially, that was my view on the matter, too. However, I've come to be quite addicted to getting them in some games. It's nice to have something universal to show off little neat things that you've done to people, and some achievements unlock gamerpictures, too. Even if not just for bragging rights, I enjoy having a little something validating a difficult accomplishment, and they sometimes push me to do things in games I normally wouldn't and help me to improve at games. However, some games just go overboard and I don't even bother, like DMC4. It's not really your gamerscore that matters, since anyone can go out, rent a bunch of games, beat them, and then get an absurdly high score... It's more about just having a little pick-me-up when you finally do that one little challenging thing you were having trouble with. Although it's often stereotyped as people using them to constantly brag, I actually think they've done somewhat the opposite... People now can't lie and brag about things they haven't done, since you can easily check their gamercard and find out. Me and my friends still brag about difficult achievements we've done though, but it's all in good fun. I really respect what Microsoft has done with this system, and a lot of games now rewarding gamers for doing these things, too (the achievements in Mass Effect, for example, give future characters little boosts like +10% exp and many various other things it adds a lot of play value).
Heh, I thought of that, too. Whenever you get it, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. |

I finally found a little time to play it again recently, and managed to make it up to the third mission. I have to admit, at first I thought it was going to be a flat out RE clone. Doesn't seem to be the case now... the fact that the stages actually have endings like a platformer intrigued me. That, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of repetitive backtracking to find junk either. My verdict as of right now? I'm liking it quite a bit. Also, infinite ammo = hell yeah. :rtfo |

Glad to hear you're liking DMC thus far! :rtfo Allow me to ask: Was the possible thought that this game is a bit too much like Resident Evil the main deterrent that kept you from playing it in the first place? It was originally planned as some sort of RE gaiden, but that angle was scrapped and the game grew into its own thing. And can you not deny that Dante is beyond the pale of awesomeness? :lol Anyway, you will be revisiting certain locales, but the flow of the game doesn't really make it feel at all like backtracking. Usually, you're dealing with stronger enemies by the time you go back to somewhere, and the emphasis isn't usually on exploration, but there are some secret rooms that reward the curious. I won't spoil it if you don't want me to, but some of them are quite out of the way. |

Yeah, that was part of it. I like RE and all, but the more I played the games in the series, the more I realized I didn't like the "survival" part of it. I don't want to run out of bullets, y'know? And that wacky save system? Ugh. At any rate, I want to be able to blast the shit out of things and save whenever I can, which DMC seems to be delivering so far.
:lol I still think Hiryu could walk all over him, but Dante does seem to be quite the badass.
Spoil away. I've already flipped through a FAQ... not that I recall much of it at the moment, but I'm not averse to spoilers/hints. |

The save system really queered the RE deal for me as a young'un, but as I got good at the game, I found that my amount of ink ribbons started to become excessive... and I even once pulled a no-death-no-save run of Leon's B game in RE2. :smug
That it does. I assume Dante's demon powers are responsible for the infinite ammo... didja know that you can charge an electrical shot with Alastor by holding the Fire button? Though, I usually don't do that. It's just more effective to blast the shit out of everything as fast as possible.
If we're just talking about Capcom characters, I won't argue that... but if not, I think Alucard could potentially trounce them both. :smug And for one more Konami character into the mix, why the hell not Bill Rizer? A quad-badass battle royale! :rtfo
In that case, allow me to refer you to the DMC1 page of the foremost DMC info site. Areas of particular interest will be "Secret Missions," "Blue Orbs," and "Hidden Red Orbs." http://devils-lair.org/dmc1.php |

I've got a friend who did that for all of the games without sleep. Until he reached the last game on his list... Resident Evil Zero. It ended with a big loud "FUCK!" I told him he wasn't ready. Ha ha, but he is THE master when it comes to Resident Evil. He beats speedruns regularly, although without video recording equipment he doesn't post them. His "casual" play for RE2 is like 1.5 hours. That being said, he is pretty damned arrogant when it comes to certain games, namely RE and MGS. |

Aw, garsh. :) As with all games, it just takes practice and patience. I remembered I was so close to doing it once but I got killed by a rogue plant in the Laboratory area, and I thought those things were too slow to be threatening. Aghast at my misestimation, I just restarted from the beginning and blazed through it again in some sort of hellbent fury... and it worked this time!
Oh, but I do disagree. Alucard is a friggin' Dhampir. Granted, Hiryu is a Strider, but he is all human as far as we know. Alucard has more power and abilities that'll give him the edge over any opponent. Jest my opinion. :D
Well... we can at least agree that the four characters mentioned are major badasses overall. And if this were one of those fecking GameFAQs character battles, they'd all lose to some Nintendo or Square character. I can't really think of any Nintendo character that's straight-on badass (while I like Link, I'm not sure he's the most appropriate to classify in this category), and every "badass" in Squaresoft games is far too emo to legitimately count as being awesome.
'Tis a cool site, and it should tell you all you ever wanted to know about the games. By the way, how far are ya now in DMC? Did you beat Nero Angelo yet? |

I never really got into the series. I borrowed the first one when I first got my Ps2, finished it, but never wanted to play it again. I enjoyed the beginning alot but it got pretty repetitive as it went along, and the story wasn't very engaging. Maybe I missed out but eh, there ya go. "I should of been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIIIGHHTT!"
It was supposed to be a beta of RE4. Here, have a look at this interesting vid. I think it dates near on before they decided to develop Devil May Cry as it's own stand alone game. Pretty interesting as you see Marionettes and a thing called 'Hookman', but it reminds me of the enemies in DMC called 'Sins', that come out of paintings too IIRC: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=kWpEE_5pDzQ |

Pshaw. Hiryu's taken down a power-mad god. Twice. Not to mention the Zain project, of course. He'd carve through Dracula's minions like they were nothing, and give Al the fight of his life.
The only badass Square ever created was the pilot from Einhander, and you can quote me on that. As far as Nintendo's concerned... they don't create badasses. They create family-friendly characters that the whole world enjoys. Closest they ever came to creating a badass was when Gunpei Yokoi cooked up Samus Aran.
Indeed. I'll have to bookmark it.
The last time I played DMC was the last time I posted in this thread, so no. |

And an excellent fight that would be. :D Seriously, someone should arrange that awesomeness. CV may be my favorite series ever, but I did write dang near everything on Strider over at HG101, and my Gmail name is "striderhiryu37" after all. ^_^ |

It would certainly be an epic battle, that's for sure. But no one would win in a fight like that, so how about a team-up? :smug |

ROLLING KOPPU KICK!

I learned something! Meio is just a grandmaster! His name is Grandmaster Grandmaster! He is like Grandmaster x2! That is awesome! I've never played DMC but I've watched it been beat and it was a fun ride. |

Kind of like how Panzer Dragoon II Zwei is actually saying Panzer Dragoon II II? |
