Devil May Cry 4: Not Impressed!

Yeah, I was bummed that it was so lame. I mean, it's okay but it's boring because it's the same stuff over and over again. I will totally pass this up.

[QUOTE="Tree06"]I never played any of the games in the series before but that demo was fun.Once I got the hang of it I did the same combo. I'll just wait for Ninja Gaiden 2.InFaMous_Si

Same Combo? Ok for one u have never played dmc before. When you get orbs your able to buy new moves and weapons. 2. This is a demo and is not the full game. 3. Your stupid not to buy this game. 4. Play the other 3 games and come back to me. 5. Ninja Gaiden is 75% different from DMC. 6. LOL

Ok maybe there is a little button mashing? But don't you think beyond that in gaming? such as story lines? Graphics etc..Look at god of war thats a button masher. So is ninja gaiden. If you have ever played the DMC Series like me. You will see the real deal about Devil may cry 4 and how good of a game it is.

I like it in theory, I mean, you've got a gun, a sword, and a funky demon arm, what's not to like? Oh yeah, the extreme linearity, annoying camera/level design, and lots of "mini-zones" seperated by doors. It's alright, but I won't throw down $60+ on it. I'll save it up for Lost Odyssey, thanks :) I had never played a DMC game before, and I don't think I'll start now... DMC would be a fun game to play at an arcade, but not to spend that kind of money on imo.Staryoshi87

My thoughts exactly. It reminded me of when I was 12 playing at the arcades, blowing away $20 dollars in less than an hour. I dont think i'll be throwing away $60 for this one. No thanks!

I can't believe how fast people are jumping to conclusions about this game.

A game like Assassin's Creed, which was the most intense fun I've ever had for the first hour, would have made an incredible impression as a demo release. Unfortunately, the other 14 hours of gameplay had you do exactly the same type of stuff you did for the first hour of the game. That's called shallow gameplay.

Now, just because DMC4 appeared to be shallow from a 10-minute demo doesn't mean that that was all that the game had to offer. If anything, I think it's indicitive of the amount of character development that the game has potential for. Of course, I could be wrong. It could just be that boring for the entire game, BUT saying a game is crappy and repetitive just from playing 10 minutes of it is entirely wrong. Just call it bad tactics on the marketers' part.

Every complaint that people seem to have points to the obvious fact they have never played Devil May Cry before because if they had they would know there is more to it. Thats how it is with all demos anyways, they water down the gameplay and remove key features. Not to mention the fact the demo removes probably 70% of the actual combat gameplay and is only the easy difficulty. You have one weapon and one gun and no upgrades or combos obtained by leveling up weapons, just the deault set up. You get more combos and skills by using the orbs which is removed from the demo. A lot of what the demo takes out (weapons, skills, enemy variety) all stems from the fact is the demo is what 600 some odd MBs no space for that stuff.Ket87

I'm dissapointed capcom didn't show off Dante's badassness to these Xbox noobs.

Capcom should have did the demo 1 Nero mission 1 Dante mission. That was what I expected and the only disapoinments I had was no Dante and the lack of an introductory cutscene at the beginning to explain what the hell was going on, you don't even know why Nero has 10 minutes to get to the end of the level untill you get to the drawbridge.

Some opinions have firmer grounds than others. I agree with what you said about the camera angles... some of the indoor camera angles were atrocious. And I also acknowledge the fact that the developers structured the demo the way they did was a mistake; I thought it was misrepresenting the true potentional of the game. But who knows, maybe they really did flop DMC4. Either way though, I still think it's wrong to criticize a game's lack of depth and how "button mashy" it is, because 10 minutes is hardly any time for gameplay development. The demo acted as an effective tutorial to the basics of the game. It's like seeing football for the first time, dimissing that it's lame and it's just "large guys tackling each other", and never actually playing the sport in the end. That's a pretty crappy mindset.

Someone needs to shut up.

I can't believe how many people are hating on DMC. To everyone who didn't like the demo go rent the game in two weeks and you'll see why this game is hyped up as much as it is. It's just that good.Strife88

I'm starting to think that a lot of these 360 owners on this forum only ever had an Xbox last gen. And they only have their over-hyped Ninja Gaiden to look back on to compare, played through it twice and DMC3 owns it on every level. And I think this board is just can't understand the concept of a demo removing a lot of features present in the actual game.

Does nobody here remember the Devil May Cry demo packaged with Code Veronica on the PS2? The demo blew! I was convinced the actual game would suck just the same, but as it turned out the real game was awesome!

Here's a simple yet effect idiom to sum up this entire DMC4 demo debate:

YOU CAN'T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.

goodbye.

i loved the demo like a brother or something like that. People are just scared cuz they like o its a sony game for so long and wat not. do u people honestly understand how awesome ng2 and dmc4 on the same system is?????????Crusade_17

If someone doesn't like the demo, it's not because they're "scared" or an "MS fanboy" or anything that's been said. Have you considered that we just don't like it? I didn't see anything new or innnovating in the game, and I don't think it has the substance to warrant a purchase. Does that mean everyone should feel that way? No. Does that mean that I do? Yes. Just because you "love it like a brother" doesn't mean we can't hate it like a brother-in-law that always wants to borrow money. A demo is indicative of the game that it represents. Saying you can't judge a game by the demo along is like saying the summary on the back of a book has no value or that movie previews don't tell you anything about the movie. Rediculous.

I didn't think so. When I got my hands on that demo, I couldn't stop playing it, and it practically guaranteed my purchase for the game when it came out. Ironically, I was playing the demo more than Code Veronica.

Most things have been said: The game has the feel from 1 and 3, which is a great thing in my opinion. The games allow for a lot of variety in the combat, which doesn't exactly show itself here, but it's meant whet the appetite for the action enthusiast. It's not everybody's thing, but I don't think it's fair to call the game repetitive.

DMC4 looks like it will bring formula from 3, which is great. You get the choice between two distance weapons and two melee weapons and you are able to switch them around at the touch of a button. Mix that in with the free-style combat and you have a large amount of variety in your combos.

Here's one example of a skilled DMC player on youtube. Sure there's some button mashing, but to string up combos like that requires some finesse, which is what I enjoy so much about the game. If you can, at least consider a rental.

I don't remember it being so repetitive. All you do is press the same button over and over again. Jump, press the button. Roll press the button. Run up to a door, press the button. I was bored! I think I'll pass on this one.R0SSMATHIS

I'm not a DMC expert but how is that different from past games?

Enchanted Arms. So you think the rest of the levels will be completely different and inspired by the hand of god causing us to drastically alter the way we play games today? Or do you think that they'll be similar to the demo levels? Yeah, that's what I thought. It's fine if people like it, but I for one, don't. I won't tell you not to buy the game, so don't try to convince me it's zomg amazing, because imo it isn't. I hope you enjoy it, though ^_^

I actually tried to jump on the walls like you did in Ninja Gaiden, but it didn't work, ha. Playing this demo just got me more hyped for NG2. DMC4 will be a rental for me, unless somebody buys it as a gift for me.

yup your a DMC fan wouldn't have expected any different. My advice to you is opinions. You figure it out from there.

Did you play the first 3? The series is based on button mashing thats what made it so popular. I never could tolerate playing it so naturally I wont enjoy 4.

Ok maybe there is a little button mashing? But don't you think beyond that in gaming? such as story lines? Graphics etc..Look at god of war thats a button masher. So is ninja gaiden. If you have ever played the DMC Series like me. You will see the real deal about Devil may cry 4 and how good of a game it is.

InFaMous_Si

The story and main character in the series have always been silly and obnoxious. Button mashing is ok...to a point. I definately see DMC4 being an improvement over the rest of the series, and its not by much, but that isnt saying much. Never have and never will pick up a DMC game. To each his own.
