DmC: Devil May Cry - Honest Opinions
- Thread starter StarStruckStrumpets
- Start date
After playing a lot of DmC, I can't think of any way DmC would be better than Bayonetta.lechat said:
The story in DmC may be more interesting. But weighed down immensely by the horrendous writing, pretentious real-world commentaries, and it also does not go very far in terms of satire. The game takes itself far more seriously than it thinks it does.
The environments in DmC are rich in color, and funky in visual design. But every level is the same static trod forward with occasional pulling and yanking and flying onto platforms for fights. Every now and then, the levels crunch inward and you move forward a bit faster. The levels start dropping sharply in quality towards the end of the game, abandoning for the most part the visual coolness of Limbo and the level shifting.
Bayonetta's levels don't contain nearly as much platforming. But in my opinion were a lot more fun to go through due to the frequent grand epic moments of all crazy sorts.
The combat in terms of challenge, depth, and pace goes to Bayonetta with no question. It easily surpasses DmC in all 3 aspects.
Sure, DmC is still fun and maybe worth playing depending on who you are. But if you were to ask me which of these two games is better, the answer is Bayonetta.
That's how I felt about DmC. And I really wanted it to be good too. After playing it for awhile, it just hasn't gotten any better. (Playing DmD mode - which is as easy as taking a piss.)lechat said:arghTohuvabohu said:
just finished playing bayonetta yesterday and thought it could have been better obviously dmc wont be the one to beat it
But hey, you might want to consider giving it a try anyway. I don't think it's bad, you might enjoy it more than I did.
See this is another thing I miss from the original series. It didn't take itself too seriously. This newer dmc reeks of developers that have that hipster mindset of "my game is perfect and you can't convince me other wise". Mostly reminds me of yahtzee's reviews of the fable franchise.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
That's because they didn't get sonic 3 or sonic CD.teh_Canape said:maybe you didn't, but the movement is indeed the sameTehCookie said:I haven't paid attention to sonic since the sega days. Either that or they failed, while the PS3 DMCHD is above DmC on amazon last time I checked. Besides DMC fans are still being laughed at for giving money to a company that screwed them over, but as the image says even if it fails you still get to enjoy a great game. Though being laughed at is a lot better than being insulted.teh_Canape said:isn't this, like, the exact damn thing that the sonic fans did?TehCookie said:All I feel is rage.Rawne1980 said:
Oh and since some people here never heard of Operation Crazy here's the layout:

Row row, fight da powa! #THE DEMONS ARE COMING
and that everybody laughed their asses off at them for it?
when the sonic fans decided to "teach Sega a lesson" by not purchasing Sonic 4 and instead purchasing Sonic 1 off the store (XBLA and PSN)
boy where they mocked and laughed at XD
They chose 1.
To be fair Bayonetta had better Lore and more details.Tohuvabohu said:
And what was there as a story was really easy to see despite it not being used that often.
Bayonetta as a character comes out more solid than donte.
Watched a friend of mine play the game yesterday. He managed to reduce Vergils HP to zero, but they instantly refilled to full since he didn't beat him like the game wanted to.
You are supposed to kill him with Devil Trigger. Normally his clone is supposed to defend him if he is almost dead and you attack him with ordinary attacks. The entire fight is full of cutscenes which can bug the entire fight if they don't trigger for some reason.
YOU WILL PLAY OUR GAME THE WAY WE DICTATE. Yahtzee talks a lot about the structure of shooters in his reviews, taking you from set piece to set piece and dictating how you go between each of them. I felt the same way playing DmC, like ninja theory had me by the ear and was pulling me along their game.lapan said:
What?? I didn't know that. That's bullshit!!lapan said:
I never really did have a problem with the game. I didn't figure one was better than the other when comparing the old series with this one. But that? That is crap. This is worse than those quick time bosses where the game just sorta remains there frozen until you press the button.
Guess it's for the particular cut scene. And here I thought the walkthrough vid someone put up, they just felt like doing that move. I should have figured after the ending.
It BAFFLES me at how NT could let obvious bugs slide. The incompetence is astoundinglapan said:
