There's some MRA furry who once posted a 30min video on youtube about how Mass Effect Andromeda's facial animations were made bad on purpose by SJWs at Bioware.

What I'm trying to say is that crazy people exist in any cross-section imaginable.

DmC was hilarious and far from a bad game

sorry your bishonen prettyboy franchise got improved by some dumb gaijin

It's pretty different from Devil May Cry so I can understand the hate but it's still a decent to good game. I'm glad I got it on PS+ rather than paying 60 bucks for it, though.

The worst thing about it was that half the stages were weird labyrinths of floating debris that formed in front of you as you progressed.

This is weird to me because DmC Dante reads a lot gayer than regular Dante.

they use a different word for it, like how "lift" means elevator, "lorry" means truck, and "cottage" means horny bathroom. I'm pretty sure dogging just means looking for cute dogs to pet though just like in the US

i played a little of devil may cry 1 back when it came out and from what i remember i liked it

i liked devil may cry 4 but didn't like how dante was way more fun than nero but you got to play as him less

i played a bit of DmC but the second i realized the game was gating collectibles in levels behind abilities you didn't get until later levels i dropped it

thank you for listening to my essay on what i think of devil may cry i hope you had as much fun reading it as i did writing it

i don't really care if someone likes the gameplay in DmC more cause it's sort of decently fun even if its appeal does not last nearly as long, but DmC dante isn't even like consistently obnoxious for most of the game he's just kind of bland and if anything i think that might be worse than him being an eternal jerkass on top of the game actively wanting you to think he's a super cool badass

old dante is cool cause there's only one game where he's just sort of a cool badass who also gets really melodramatic, and in every game after he's either a friendly dork trying to do cool poo poo and fumbling at the last second every time, or a weird uncle. i'm not counting dmc2

also the fox news boss in DmC is kind of amazing conceptually and it sort of looks cool but it's really boring to fight. the boss fights in DmC outside of the very last one kind of suck, there's one chapter that's just a really really long boss fight and it's possibly the worst part of the game on multiple levels. there's nothing interesting about fighting most of the bosses and it really shows when that entire fight just ends up feeling like you're doing the exact same bullshit for like ten minutes with no variety

the difference between DmC and dark souls is that in dark souls a boss takes ten minutes because you keep getting slammed in the face midway through and in DmC a boss takes ten minutes because it takes a billion hits to kill and has like three phases that are all annoying and bad

and you can't get an op weapon and character build to speed it up

please stop bringing dark souls into this serious discussion of DmC: Devil may Cry, the video game that is not as bad as Devil May Cry 2

The designs in Enslaved are fine if kinda forgettable. Monkey King looking motherfucker, Girl In Tube Top, and big fat guy

dmc3pc is, uh, mostly playable? there's a mod that makes it, almost work, but it definitely always has nasty performance issues unless you're ok playing without music

the ps2 version emulates fine if you're ok doing that

Hahaha :drat:

Unrelated, since Middle Earth:Shadow of War is going to be stuffing microtransactions in, I'm curious if people respond badly to it if WB is going to think it's the fact they pushed microtransactions, or assume it's the ip's fault.

In other words, is it gonna be another Dead Space 3/Deus ex Mankind Divided where publisher overreach killed the ip.

apparently it's OK to shame Trek people (I don't disagree) and BDSM people but simply saying the word "overweight" is "body shaming" and YOU'RE BLOCKED rear end in a top hat
