Ya, it was always bad, but DMC 4 took it to the illogical extreme.

called it.
Funny, the Bob fight looked the most interesting visually to me from the released media.

you know what looking at those Devil Bringer finishers it makes me think that DMC4 actually did a pretty good job combining cinematic elements into combat
To add insult to injury you fight several bosses 3 times. Yeah...

That and Nero played a lot Zangief in Street Fighter.
I do not agree with Dahbomb on the boss rankings.
Mundus was nothing special, but it is not the worst. the worst is the Succubus, imho. Fightin in the TV and Bob also felt better to me. Mostly because of the Rez-vibe, and the great mechanics of avoiding his 3-4 attacks, based on seeing the color and the color only, at first.
Also, needless to say, Vergil was not designed for us. We know all of his attacks already without even seeing them first. I am looking forward to how he gets harder in new difficulties, cause the Vergil fight was still the most badass part of the game, imho. Another great fight was the Mundus Spawn. Am I missing one more somewhere? Oh, the first boss. Nothing special, but mechanically great, and has very few interruptions.

Damn, I had to look up a video to remember what went on in that fight. lol
I just remember thinking it could have and should have been so much more epic than it was. Skyscraper sized bosses are tough to do right. It's the one thing God of War does so much better than more combat focused action games.
and not even the best one

And the dice board game rooms.
Ninja Gaiden had some epic large boss fights and Shadow of the Colossus built a whole game on them. I wish more games would model large boss fights like those.
Terrible, yes. Exploitable? HELL yes. There was a trick to know what you were going to roll.And the dice board game rooms.

I felt Bayonetta had some excellent HUGE boss fights.
My favorite final boss of any stylish action game.

How many of those are DMC2 bad.
None because while they are mechanically not that great, they at least all look impressive. Most of DMC2 bosses sucked at both and you can beat them by shooting at them from a far.
I am not including Bolverk and Despair Embodied as the average DMC2 boss though... those were exceptions in the game. I am talking stuff like that giant building boss, Helicopter shit, Orangatuan boss and that fish boss. Absolutely shit.

wow that much of differences huh? lol
This is all my opinion of course and this is only on Nephilim. Opinion might change but that's what I feel about them right now. I had fun with the first 3 bosses on my list but the other 3 I was just wanted them to be over quick.
Anyone wants to see the
it's being streamed right now:

Seeing as how this seems like the way the franchise is going, it would have been nice to have gotten another Nero game where he had more than a single set of weapons.

Didn't DMC2 have multiple helicopter fights?
While I do agree that DMC4's was a little unnecessary, backtracking has always been in Devil May Cry, even 3 (as far as I can remember) took you back all the back to the bottom of temen ni gru.
even fighting all the bosses again at the end of DMC3 is the same as what DMC4 did, they just made you actually go through the environments to get to them again.
The larger bosses helped Bayonetta emphasize her power [especially her summons]. After all, seeing a giant massive crab-creature swallow a smaller boss whole wouldn't be nearly as impressive if they were the same size as Bayonetta].
They did have quite a few normal-sized bosses, though, such as Jeanne's fights as well as

Its as if that whole section, plus Dante, was added as an afterthought. Perhaps Capcom was afraid to ship the game without Dante. The whole pace and fighting engine of the game felt as if it was based on Nero anyway.
Another thing I hated about 4 was that stupid statue sliding shit in the castle. But its been over 3 years I think, I want to play the game again.

I'd like to blame Ninja Theory for this but this has Crapcom written all over it.

So I missed the stream prior to the last bosses. Do normal enemies at least DT in DmC DMD mode?
Yes. At least it looked like they did to me.
Yeah they do but not every enemy DTs. Draks for example don't DT which is a bummer but I guess they didn't want the casuals to cry over DMD being too hard...
Watching the stream I don't know why they would. The game HANDS you S rankings like no other.

Grade inflation, man. You don't want parents calling Capcom to complain about their kids getting Ds.
I beat the game and got mostly S ranks but I soon realized that in this game S ranks are equivalent to getting B ranks in previous games. SSS rank is the new S rank and SS rank is the new A rank etc.
This way casuals are happy that they are S ranking missions but the more hardcore players can strive for those SSS.
