come on man, turn your smartass off, the new DMC had fantastic controlsInfernai said:Your right, Devil May Cry 4's gameplay would have been a perfect fit for this game....you ARE talking about Devil May Cry 4...RIGHT?Abandon4093 said:
OT: as fun as it is, I think the combat can be pretty damn clunky, which makes the gameplay especially sour for me given that I'm also playing through Bayonetta
as for the humor, I think that even if the jokes fail, North's performance saves them with his amazing acting
it's one of those performances that you really cannot picture the character with another voice
But...if i turn my smart-ass off then my dumbass turns on. You don't want to see my dumbass side, he's part of the Sonic Fandom.teh_Canape said:come on man, turn your smartass off, the new DMC had fantastic controlsInfernai said:Your right, Devil May Cry 4's gameplay would have been a perfect fit for this game....you ARE talking about Devil May Cry 4...RIGHT?Abandon4093 said:
But i don't know why you insulted me when we agree that Devil May Cry 4 had fantastic controls!
Non-Smartass version- Alright, i will admit that DmC had ok mechanics and controls. They certainly weren't bad and on their own merits they make for a decent hack and slash game. But in comparison to the rest of the DMC series, it's not that great..and honestly, i just really think Devil May Cry 4 had the best mechanics of the series (Talking about Dante's gameplay here). If they'd done something like Dante's style system in this game, it could have been something amazing.
To be fair, Nolan North does a damned good Deadpool and he was already the character in animated/gaming media beforehand so it's not too much of a problem.shiajun said:
His voice, attitude and laugh remind me of awful youtube commenters such as Tobuscus. Thanks but I'll let this one pass.
I just hoped game devs had grown a sense of humor. Heck, even Mass Effect 2 made me laugh more than this game.

Actually his first voice was John Kassir. This might be the nostalgia talking but I do prefer his voice to North's. Kassir's Deadpool sounds more demented and insane as opposed to North's Deadpool.Infernai said:

I admit DMC 4 had it's short comings in alot of ways, but i still think that Dante's gameplay mechanics are arguably among the best of the series, the reboot included.Abandon4093 said:Didn't like DMC4.Infernai said:Your right, Devil May Cry 4's gameplay would have been a perfect fit for this game....you ARE talking about Devil May Cry 4...RIGHT?Abandon4093 said:
Too much Nero.
The new DMC by Ninja theory was great though. Might not have been what fans were hoping for, but as a game. Nothing wrong with it. And the controls were fantastic.
As for DmC....well......to say i hated it is an understatement. For fear of derailing this thread i won't go into much more detail and i did cover this in a previous post but:
As a game on it's own merits? DmC is an average hack and slash. By no means Terrible and is definitely far from unplayable, probably would have enjoyed it more if it hadn't been a Devil May Cry game. But, definitely better Hack and Slashers on the Market.
As a Devil May Cry game? Let's just say i found it bad and leave it at that..
But hey, different people like different stuff. Guess i just have to try to keep my inner fanboy calm whenever that new DmC is brought up.
DMC4 was so dull, solid combat mechanics, but dull. I'd take the shody controls and angsty story of 2 as long as we got its epic set pieces.Infernai said:
OT: I was really interested in how this game panned out story wise, Deadpool seems like one of those characters who could easily become a Dane Cook knock off.
>Comes to comments for Deadpool game review.
>People disgussing DMC
GAHHHH!
Anyway, as a fan of Deadpool, It'd take a lot for me to get tired of him. All they had to do was not fuck up the controls and the melee stuff turned out great. The shooting could use some work though.

I personally felt the story had heart and I loved it.
The game mechanics were on par, but that's how I feel about ALL action adventure games.

I enjoyed the hell out of this game, I don't think I've laughed so much at a game before.
It was definitely worth the purchase, that and I love Deadpool as a character.

my main problem with deadpool not on the humor, is more about the combat. The idea is: mixing third person shooter with hack and slash melee but it doesn't work. The game pull out alot of bad guys with melee antack charge at you while other bad guys stay behide cover and Swarming Bullets at you. So if you want to stay alive you have to keep distance, find a good wall, pop out and shooting with throwing grenades like one of those COD. But that not all, the camera design for the shooting part is so bad i alway end up decorate my cover with bullets decal while enermy just few inch alway. But then we can use some melee attack right ? Yes but the melee is so boring and repetitive, is only have few combos attack and the camera swing around avoid some dude behide you trying to shoot your balls off. regardless i still somehow enjoying deadpool but playing this make me want to play DMC (a better hack and slash) or max payne (a better shooter).
well, about that, I can't really sayInfernai said:But...if i turn my smart-ass off then my dumbass turns on.

I got to that mission after they take nero's girlfriend and you gotta go through a gauntlet of sorts and I just ragequit
I could bear getting my ass handed to me by angels
I could not bear having to go through those fuckmothering traps every god damn time I got my ass handed to me, especially the god damn bladed pillar, which is why I personally consider it the worst of the series (I have not played 2)
I mean, it just feels like it's hard in the wrong places, unlike say Bayonetta or even DMC3
but whatever, to each their own, right? =P
I am really enjoying the game at the moment (at the last set of battles with the Marauders on my way to the Citadel.) Honestly though having seen my lady play it on Veteran its a bit on the easy side at Veteran. However, Ultra-Violence difficulty with no upgrades kicks my ass and I swear if I didn't have landmines I wouldn't have made it through most of this game.
Overall I give it around a 6.5 out of 10. It's not going to be redefining the way we play brawler/shooters but I've played it for over 20+ hours already and plan on playing it again after I beat it the first time.
Also the beginning exploration around his apartment is awesome.
Exactly this! Though I disagree with Melee combat being boring. It starts out boring but as you upgrade your melee attacks you end up with more variety. Though yeah two combos per weapon to start is a bit weak.solidmetal said:
