I wonder what he means by genuine reviews? What does it MEAN??

Reviewers who actually played the game?

 

[Papercuts]

What the hell qualifies as a genuine review? Metacritic-approved?

They think an ungenuine review is a review where the person didn't even play the game, which is the only way it scores less than an 89!

 

[Riposte]

Im no fan in this new direction of the series, but this OT is disgrace for a DMC title.

OP might find it funny, but If you couldn't do a good job, you should of handed it to someone who could.

This is how I feel. I also dislike negative OTs.

 

[Dahbomb]

Except this thread is sort of a joke. And it's not even remotely tasteful like the DA2 one. Ugh.

So basically it's exactly like the game then.

 

[Chamber]

I think he means all the those people who pretended like NT could have ever done anything right by them in the first place. And I'm convinced there are a lot of people like that.

The purist tirades just strike me as silly. For whatever reason if this game wasn't called Devil May Cry they would have no problem with it and they probably play a ton of action games without being so picky about them but because they care about intellectual property attached to a given game (for whatever reason) they howl and yell and make silly .gifs if they don't feel the IP matches what they think the brand should represent.

A game that isn't called Devil May Cry wouldn't carry the expectations of the Devil May Cry franchise, that must is true.

 

[ezekial45]

I honestly expected he or Dahbomb would. Oh well.

He called it almost a year ago. There's a thread where you can schedule making OTs

 

[Facism]

This is a good OT. It's not a massive PR orgy. It plays on the criticisms that the game rightly wrought upon itself, whilst still being informative of all the real meat, such as the release date, weapons and whatever preorder bonuses are available.

It only only needs a few videos showing off the gameplay.

[edit]And reviews as they come in.

 

[Carbonox]

This thread is getting more hate than the game will. Bank on it.

 

[Acquiescence]

What the hell qualifies as a genuine review? Metacritic-approved?

An Italian no-name site reviewed the game despite not having received a review copy, all the while breaking the review embargo. All the other reviews have been from magazines so far.

 

[Dahbomb]

Honestly I expected more given the long delay.

 

[badcrumble]

Question: is this game at all related to the film Warm Bodies?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Good Lord, that avatar is hideous. I know it's been there for a while, but... *shudders*

yeah... did Dahbomb lose an avatar bet or something?
I had to do a double-take.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Reviewers who actually played the game?

Gotcha. Expecting more reviews once the embaro is up, unless its already up now.

 

[crimzonflame]

This is the OT the game deserves.

 

[nbthedude]

Hopefully there will be a separate thread for the PC version so all the people who want to jump up and down like monkeys and fling poo can just stay in this OT.

 

[GuardianE]

yeah... did Dahbomb lose an avatar bet or something?
I had to do a double-take.

Yeah, he did. Having to do with a predicted update to UMvC3, if I remember correctly.

 

[Dahbomb]

I lost an avatar bet.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

I wish you made it.

as bloody palace is its own seperate downloadable mode, I think dahbomb should make an OT for it. Its where his talents are best served anyway.

Anyway, enjoy your game. I've ordered It through my rental service and i will post impressions when I receive it.

 

[KillerTravis]

The winner gif is hilarious. Can't wait to play this game looks way better than DMC4.

 

[kayos90]

So basically it's exactly like the game then.

I mean. Just because the game is distasteful doesn't mean the OT should get shit treatment.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I lost an avatar bet.

You love that avatar

 

["God's Beard!"]

I offered to make the OT. I was gonna use DmC |OT| Interlude With A Vampire

 

[ConradCervantes]

Thanks for the replies, all. I thought that that was NT's way of shitting on reviews not doled out by IGN, GI, Gamespot, and the like.

 

[Haunted]

It only only needs a few videos showing off the gameplay.

But then people would complain the OP is hating on the game again.

Joking aside, the drive-by trolls feeling emboldened by the OP will be banned/gone after a couple pages and the real discussion can start.

First couple pages of an OT are always garbage, whether it's negative (this) or positive (three hundred posts of "great job OP! can't wait!") in tone. Just go with it and stop bitching.




Was the PC port done in-house or outsourced?

 

[sleepykyo]

Except this thread is sort of a joke. And it's not even remotely tasteful like the DA2 one. Ugh.



I disagree. The OT isn't remotely funny.

Revenge of Sh*t Mountain is more tasteful than No, F*** You? At least the latter is in-game dialogue.

 

[we.are.the.armada]

It still wouldn't be acknowledged by the faithful. Just put a bunch of try hards on ignore if it's really that big of a deal.

Wait, who are the try hards here? Why should I ignore them? I'd like to know if the game is fun to play and has intuitive controls, like Bayonetta. How are the load times? How are weapons upgraded? Is there a shop?

Thanks to anybody that can help me out with these.

 

[Byronic Hero]

Question: is this game at all related to the film Warm Bodies?

Dying right now.

 

[ezekial45]

Are you serious? He doesn't even explain the gameplay. He also doesn't show off any advanced techniques that are staples of the series, and he posts gifs mocking the game. It's made for people who like to rag on it. Anyone who likes this game won't feel comfortable coming in here.

This OT is bullshit.

 

[Chamber]

Hopefully there will be a separate thread for the PC version so all the people who want to jump up and down like monkeys and fling poo can just stay in this OT.

Cism.

 

[kayos90]

Revenge of Sh*t Mountain is more tasteful than No, F*** You? At least the latter is in-game dialogue.

Except the "No, F*ck You!" part is not really saying fuck the game but fuck the OT. It's a horrible job and I could do something better given a day. A DAY!

Are you serious? He doesn't even explain the gameplay. He also doesn't show off any advanced techniques that are staples of the series, and he posts gifs mocking the game. It's made for people who like to rag on it. Anyone who likes this game won't feel comfortable coming in here.

This OT is bullshit.

An OT doesn't need excess information detailing advanced techniques and what not. It should be good on information about the game and getting people excited. Unless... you know. You don't remember the DMC HD Collections thread.

 

[GuardianE]

Honestly, nobody reads an OT for more than a few seconds. It's not a big deal, and it's not that bad.

Are you serious? He doesn't even explain the gameplay. He also doesn't show off any advanced techniques that are staples of the series, and he posts gifs mocking the game. It's made for people who like to rag on it. Anyone who likes this game won't feel comfortable coming in here.

This OT is bullshit.

Because of the opening post? An OT is an OT. The meat is in the posts after the opener. Lovingly crafted opening posts get ignored more often than not.

I think it's funny. Not everything needs to be taken so seriously. I wish we had more OTs like this instead of the massive PR circle jerks, to be honest.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Wait wait wait. So Vergil is a nazi that leads Anonymous?

 

[Zia]

Oy. This OT doesn't encourage healthy discussion, critical or otherwise.

 

[Carbonox]

Wait wait wait. So Vergil is a nazi that leads Anonymous?

Yeah, basically, but with a swag costume.

 

[alr1ght]

Except the "No, F*ck You!" part is not really saying fuck the game but fuck the OT. It's a horrible job and I could do something better given a day. A DAY!

Nobody looks at the first post after A DAY anyways. I'm sure one of the Ninja Theory PR people here could whip something up real nice.

 

[Dahbomb]

Wait, who are the try hards here? Why should I ignore them? I'd like to know if the game is fun to play and has intuitive controls, like Bayonetta. How are the load times? How are weapons upgraded? Is there a shop?

Thanks to anybody that can help me out with these.

1) Game is pretty fun in its combat.
2) Controls are fairly intuitive but not as precise/responsive as previous DMC games or like Bayonetta.
3) Load times are here and there, nothing too alarming.
4) Weapons are upgraded by buying moves or buying upgrades to moves. There are two currencies, one that is used to buy skill upgrades and the other to buy items.
5) Yeah there is a shop to buy upgrades and items. They are spread in the levels or you can access it before/after each mission.

I will make a "Tips and Tricks for Newcomers" post. Relax guys.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Wait wait wait. So Vergil is a nazi that leads Anonymous?

More like a rebel with a cause. A rich rebel.

 

[Chamber]

Oy. This OT doesn't encourage healthy discussion, critical or otherwise.

There's not much to have a healthy discussion about at this point. Wait until the game comes out for a real discussion. That's the same with any OT.

 

[meta4]

Man is this game going to be so bad that it deserved such a low key OT.

 

[Spierek]

Already pre-ordered for PC.

Spoiler

Please don't fail me Ninja Theory.

 

[GuardianE]

There's not much to have a healthy discussion about at this point. Wait until the game comes out for a real discussion. That's the same with any OT.

Honestly, I don't get it. NOTHING worthwhile is posted in an OT before the actual release.

 

[kayos90]

Just because some people don't look at the OP and/or don't give two shits about it doesn't mean the rest of the GAF population doesn't. If you aren't even going to be remotely tasteful with the OT or handle it with some semblance of tact I think you should be prohibited from making any future OTs either permanently or temporarily. This is stupid.

Besides two you can pretty much say this game operates almost like DMC

 

[lazybones18]

Soon, lots of crow will be devoured

 

[Andrew.]

OT so good this is now Day 1 for me.

 

[ezekial45]

Wait, who are the try hards here? Why should I ignore them? I'd like to know if the game is fun to play and has intuitive controls, like Bayonetta. How are the load times? How are weapons upgraded? Is there a shop?

Thanks to anybody that can help me out with these.

See what I mean? This OT isn't helping anyone.

Honestly, nobody reads an OT for more than a few seconds. It's not a big deal, and it's not that bad.

Because of the opening post? An OT is an OT. The meat is in the posts after the opener. Lovingly crafted opening posts get ignored more often than not.

It's uninviting. Along with that title. It's honestly made for someone like you.

And look at the discussion we're having now. It's chaos in here.

 

[Carbonox]

 

[Haunted]

Lack of a PC demo is a bit of a concern, tbh.

Nice, thanks Dahbomb! Is there a score attack or boss rush mode in the game?
