Both threads are a mess. I was also accused of working for Crystal Dynamics >_<

That's already funnier than DMC4, even though the whole game was a joke.
That would be a yes. You only get tips in the first boss fight but the rest of the boss fights do have cinematic interruptions.
Yeah but everyone on Gaf is a viral marketer for Platinum and Obsidian, and that seems ok.
Hmm figured as much since they are present in the first and last boss fight. Stuff that can easily be shown while the player is in control are now cinematics. smh. Once is fine but 4-5 times in a fight is over-kill.
Jesus Christ, what an EGO!
Kidding. That's actually really cool and you would really never notice it if you weren't focused on it.
Love the overreaction before people even knew what was up.
That's because it is. Some double standards exist for a reason.

Double standards are only okay when I'm okay with them.
You seem upset. I suggest a relaxing evening with a new copy of Vanquish in order to relieve that stress.
But I'm not. I already finished that game. Didn't feel the need to build a shrine afterwards though!

Perhaps your disappointment at your lack of drive to building a shrine may be solved by donating funds to Obsidians Project Eternity through the paypal button on their website?
I already did that too!
He could also email them and volunteer to be a QA tester.

Man we had like a whole thing going on why you gotta ruin it with your reasonable post.

DmC Demo - Son of Sparda (No Damage) SSS Rank 100% completion
Looks like a Devil May Cry game to me. Can't wait for some more positive reviews/impressions.

Another satisfied customer!
But hey, if you like this art direction, why don't you pick up a copy of Enslaved? And perhaps one of DmC's influences, Shade the Changing Man? Get a first look at our shifting environments, obvious American pop culture satire, and mean-spirited humorous dialog!

For those who bought the game, which version should I get? 360 or PS3 ?

God's had his chance.
Based on that i'll be buying the novelization. Three different times.
Also I hate twitter. Pre-Ordered so i could cancel my pre-order.
this is the first time ive ever seen gameplay footage of DmC, and I can tell you right now: this looks NOTHING like a Devil May Cry game...

In the first 40 seconds of this video he does one charged drive that takes his style rank from D to SSS.

I still can't get over how absurdly broken the scoring system is lol.
Come on man that's being harsh. The skill on display was solid and the overall combat is similar to DMC enough. I mean the run through isn't nearly as flashy as something in DMC4 but it's still good.
It's really a shame that the Demon Dodge and style ranking is so broken because they do have a solid combat underneath it all. It's just too braindead to get upto SSS and then maintain it using whatever you want no matter how cheesy it is. Takes away from core essenemce of what they want to achieve with the game.

This is the upteenth time I've seen gameplay footage of DmC and having also played the demo extensively I can tell you right now: it's a hell of a lot like a Devil May Cry game
My main problem is that it never drops. I wouldn't mind the ease of gaining SSS if the rank degraded over time.

He only gets that much score because he does a perfectly timed demon dodge (improving damage and style ranking) then immediately follows it with a fully charged drive combo on 3 enemies that miraculously fell into line. It seems like the style bonus on demon dodge attacks are way out of whack in the demo. Pretty sure we're still waiting on someone to confirm whether it works like that in the final release.

Yeah. The gauge for how well you're doing is completely messed up. The feedback for playing stylish has to be there. Otherwise, what's the point? What, Youtube videos?

Man I feel so conflicted I don't like the direction the series is taking but after watching some playthroughs of the full game I might actually get it now (especially for Vergil DLC). I hope if they do DmC 2 they have two full campaigns for both Dante and Vergil..
The SSS demon dodge still feels overpowered but that won't really effect the stylishness of combo videos (only people going for SSS ranks).

Ok. Maybe because I'm not a die hard DMC fan, but after watching several videos, I think the game actually does feel and look like a DMC game.
Yeah I understand the character doesn't look like original and female lead looks 100000000x worse than original DMC but yeah, it does look like DMC game, and it actually looks fun.
Will give it a go when it is released.

you say "perfectly timed" demon dodge like it's hard. I watched the rest of that video and he does a sloppy one, in the air, from an attack that was likely going to miss him anyways if he had simply let the (syrup like) gravity take him downwards. In all the videos i've watched getting that demon dodge red carnage shit to swirl when you dodge does NOT look hard. I was actually wondering out loud about just padding your score with that tech.
Also yes there were three of em.. .but i've watched the axe get multiple hits on a single enemy and reach almost the same rank. Cheap as nero arm into the sky and spin that stupid scythe for an hour while you float happily and hit SSS. Huzzah.

I didn't say it was particularly hard, I was just correcting his description. I really don't think they intended for you to be able max out the style meter for performing a dodge in like a 6 frame window then using a strong attack. Temper your disgust until we have confirmation about the final game.
Styling is still fun at the end of the day. I did play through that demo a lot even though earning that SSS ranking becomes automatic at a certain point.
I'm pretty sure V_Arnold already confirmed that Demon Dodge still breaks the style system.

That's shit if so, but hardly game breaking for how I approach this genre.

I need those numbers and letters though. In a fighting game you can style on someone. Just styling on the the AI isn't enough, there has to be some sort of feedback. It's fun in and of itself, but still.
Did you support this game from the beginning? And if so do you think it was worth the wait? Also are you happy with the ending?

Wow, 6 hours is ridiculously short even by action game standards. That's God of War 3 levels. First run throughs on past DMC games were somewhere between 12-15 hours.....at least for me. DMC 3 was a pretty meaty game.

to be fair though it's a first playthrough...not to mention generally difficulty/checkpoints in games have been streamlined and more player-friendly. DMC3 was a long game, but parts of had to do with how the checkpoints were set up with yellow/gold orb
Games are made very differently nowadays
Alright, question time.
I'm somewhat interested into getting in DMC, I think I can get the HD collection, but is there something I should worry about, like Silent Hill HD-badness?
I think I can get a PS2 and play the originals (not really hard to find) but I'd like them in the commodity of a BR and with HD stuff.
