J.E. Sawyer Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 How was DMC3 in terms of difficulty compared to NG? /can of worms Parts were harder, parts were easier. The shmoes in DMC3 weren't too tough, but the bosses could be very rough. I just beat DMC4 on Human mode. It's pretty damned easy. If you want a challenge, go straight to Devil Hunter. I have to say I enjoy playing Nero more than Dante. I never really make full use of Dante's styles. His weapons + Swordmaster pretty much get the job done. twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.E. Sawyer Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 is DMC enjoyable even to someone who hates anime? I would think so. Other than Dante and Nero having white hair and all of the characters wearing wacky outfits (e.g. Lady and Trish), it doesn't really look like anime. The story is standard anime-fare, but I think that has more to do with Japan than anime itself. The characters are pretty entertaining, with the exception of Kyrie in the role of the Japanese-style personality-less young woman. twitter tyme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.E. Sawyer Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 Dante Must Die difficulty. The enemy is a Blitz, which causes damage every time you hit it, right after the hit frame. The player is in Dante's Royal Guard style using Gilgamesh (boots and gauntlets). The player attacks and then immediately guard cancels to block the electrical damage, shooting his style meter up to Atomic. He then Beast Uppercuts the Blitz repeatedly, while toggling Devil Trigger to increase his style even more. While the Blitz is dying, he taunts, switches to Lucifer, and throws a rose at it.

Llyranor Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 The demo was nice in terms of my first real exposure to the series. Too easy, but I don't expect the real game to be so. My main concerns is in terms of what players have been saying re: backtracking through the same areas multiple times, and some awkward platforming/puzzle elements. How much does that suck?

Does it even dwell within the realm of frustration? Some of NG's platforming was just horrid, especially given the 3D camera.

Llyranor Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 So I picked up the game not too long ago for 360. I'm playing on Devil Hunter or whatever, made it past the jungle mission. So far, it's pretty nice. The combat system is getting better as I unlock new moves. It felt a bit simplistic at first. Doing combos is nice. I wish the game was more challenging. Perhaps why I'm favoring Ninja Gaiden over it so far, though they're pretty different, so I'm not even sure why I'm making the comparison. The platforming/puzzles have been a non-issue so far. The board game was so trivially irrelevant that it didn't bother me at all; if that's the most frustrating the game is supposed to be, I'm not the least bit bothered. The bosses have been the highlight. Despite the relative ease of the rest of the game, they've posed a pretty decent challenge, killing me a few times. The 4 bosses so far have been pretty unique and fun to fight. The 1st one is the demo, so no surprise. The 2nd and 4th were very cool. 3rd one was nice conceptually as well, but fairly easy in execution. So far, I like the game. If subsequent difficulty levels are more challenging while also providing a more extensive moveset, I'm looking forward to those.
