Caps and swearing is not a classy way to get your point across good sir. Did I say the game was adaquetly challenging? No. It's pathetically easy until Son of Sparda and even then it comes nowhere near the relentless difficulty of a european copy of DMC3 on the same difficulty.NameIsRobertPaulson said:It didn't evolve. No where close. This is the worst combat in the series by a scary margin. It would be superb by the standards of Heavenly Sword, but for a DMC game, the combat is horrific. This doesn't even count the forced weapon switching which is bad at the best of times and downright forced at the worst.SkarKrow said:
They have the game setup at my local GameStop for people to try. I waited (on Normal) for the time it took for the closest enemy to strike me, without me doing anything. It took EIGHT FUCKING SECONDS. NO JOKE. In that time, you would be dead on Normal in any of the others. Three of those were spent telegraphing the attack. I understand wanting to dumb it down for the masses, but that is purely insulting. Also:
If you can't tell me what is wrong with that image, I think we're done.
I played the entirety of the new game on the highest setting it would allow on my first run and I had no trouble, that said, playing DMC3 through the first time on normal I died ONCE. The series has never been crushingly hard unless you made it so, the higher difficulties in the new game do offer a good challenge, but as ever you need to unlock them.
As for the weapon switching, I quite like how enemies have different weakness that you need to abuse to defeat themm, it's hardly a chore to switch your weapons: you hold a trigger your hand is already on anyway.
I will concede that gaining a triple S style rating on anything below dante must die is a pitifully easy task for any series veteran.
However you are right, we have nothing further to discuss, I enjoyed the game thoroughly, if you did not, or have chosen to play the game for 5 minutes in your local gamestop and hate it as a result, then that's up to you.
