lol great review,
although a kitana being homoerotic? hmmm Agree about Raiden from MGS2, seriously does he use a hair straighener? Was waiting for yahtzee to make a personal appearance again though....

(developers being pillocks? i think thats been the same for all the DMC series)

 

[NoPantsMan]

mmmmmm, de Lays.

Call me a fanboy or call it Yahtzee doing his job, but I like DMC4, points he makes are valid like the dam dice games *shudder*. However one thing I have to disagree is with him calling it short; in todays age where 4 levels of a fps is standard I'd say DMC4 is quite long.

And there is nothing uncool about Dante

Truely the F-ing best review in awhile... truely awesome.

 

[njsykora]

I take exception to the His Dark Materials reference.

Fun stuff though, even though most of the issues have become 'hallmarks' of DMC since the first game.

Gr8 review .. summarised all the reasons DMC4 wont be getting my £'s

 

[Conqueror Kenny]

good review made me laugh a few times.
But now i hate you if you spent howers on the second time round the bord game then your just pure unlucky and im going to have a guess tha a certain someone only played human or devil hunter the modes ment to get you redy for the real game. But hay i expected it to get ripped apart as soon as i saw it and well atleast you said the combat was good.

 

[TLK Cydonia]

Good, but not the best. I agree with most of what you're saying though, as always...

But what's with the His Dark Materials reference!?

 

[coredump]

Is it me or did Yahtzee's speech sound kinda slow this one? Yatzee, you're going to have up your hooker and blow intake, you're building a resistance.

 

[sammyfreak]

I cant believe he dident complaine more about the music and i was hoping for an Audiosurf review, not a measley comment.

 

[Ydna]

Wow, harsh review for sure!! You got genuinely angry toward the end.

Good song pick at the beginning though...

 

[Slamhound]

Oh hey, thanks for the Audiosurf song recommendation. I'll give it a whirl later.

Anyway, it seems that the DMC series is alternating between good and utter crap. DMC wasn't bad, DMC2 terrible, DMC3 good, DMC4 terrible...

 

[Frapple]

rofl, got to agree, although the I found the combat lacking.

Ben has a cold?

 

[SimzNI13]

The last line is the best in the whole series. Great one dude. Give dem De-Rez boys a few tips. Their show needs more "that's embarrsing to watch" taken out!

 

[Flow]

And here I thought that game looked good, but timed platform sections with fixed camera angles, that's thrown me off it, though I may still try it just so I can have the pleasure of breaking a controller or two xD

 

[RussDCA]

Heheeeeeee, hehehehehehehehe...

Got my balls in the giggle vice that time. Not that a my balls being in any sort of vice would be giggle material but...... Actually, there's nothing funny about that at all. I should think these things through more.

Cracking review!

Excellent review, and it summed up things nicely. The only thing that I would add is that artificially adding difficulty by removing used items on player death from a set save point so that you'll go back and play previous levels over and over is just plain shitty. Make the user WANT to play things over, not HAVE to play them over just to progress.

Just because it's a staple of how DMC has always done it doesn't make it good. I decided that I would get more entertainment out of replaying Ninja Gaiden Black... and I was right.
