Oh my god. Thanks so much for ragging on DMC4, Yahtzee. I've had to watch this trailer once every four minutes at work for the last two weeks, and the pure egotism of the protagonist makes my blood boil every time. And a dice puzzle game? What the hell?
Zero Punctuation: Devil May Cry 4

I actually liked Love Hina.
Now as for the game, I like it, but the timed puzzles and jump sections make me throw my controller away. I also really relate to the 'fight cutscenes'. I asked out loud 'Why can't I play this?'. A few other things bugging me is the Nero-Dante fight in the middle...I spend a lot of effort to get him down, and the cutscene shows how I am more or less defeated after all. Then why did I go through that effort? The puzzle with the appearing floating blocks I had to walk over and then disappear...Its so goddamn hard to see when the colors change (from white to very very light blue)
And then Dante. I didn't play the previous DMC games, but this guy gives me Tom Cruise flashbacks. Did anyone else have this? For the record, Tom Cruise flashbacks is *not* a good thing.

Oops *looks for glasses* I should read things more carefully. ^^;;Gutterpunk said:Well seeing as I said that "I was damn happy not to have lost 20 minutes installing this crap of a game", I'm not sure why you think that I didSentient Muffin said:Suspicious...or a typo...you claim to have spent 20 minutes installing it...yet the 360 version doesn't install itself on to the hard drive at all. Only the PS3 version installs...Gutterpunk said:(...)
By chance, I played on the 360. I was damn happy not to have lost 20 minutes installing this crap of a game. This is the only positive thing I can say about the game... The gun/sword combo are only cool for so long, seeing as you do the same crap about 2000 times, only to do them again. Trying to make amazing combos gets old fast when you went through a particular room 10 times because of poor level design.
Anyway
"I feel all dirty all over, as I was one of the people who read the gawky teenager, buxom girls and mass awkwardness series - Love Hina - that Yahtzee was referring to."
I don't think he did necessarily... There are hundreds of series like that one : P

Oh yeah. And I'm pretty much convinced at this point that Nero is Dante's illegitimate son. Some people are saying he's Vergil's, but I mean, come on. Of the two, who would be more likely to an illegitimate son? I'm pretty sure it would be Dante.
you forget that both nero and dante wear butt-less chaps. That part of both of their clothing styles made for some very humorous dialog between my roommates and I.4mf said:
True, Yahtzee, the story is rubbish. (The stuttering, monocled Agnus is a new low in Capcom's already shoddy storywriting repertoire.) But I read books for a good story. I just want ultra-violence, coolness and a game which makes me feel like I'm a human being that can actually coordinate his limbs properly. And get girls.
Funny how there is always one banned user at the very first post of every yahtzee review.
Man the end was hilarious, I would love to do that with a spider and a wasp with slipknot in the background
Anyone else find it hilarious when Yahtzee makes fun of the main characters? Like when he calls link fagballs, and named Shepard "Titty", or say, this review.

Yahtzee strikes me as a "Cowboy Bebop" man.Zera said:
Of course everybody likes Cowboy Bebop.
In any case, yes. Damn fine review, but at this point I'm wondering if there are any games left to review. Usually Yahtzee is at his peak when he is reviewing critically acclaimed games.
