Devil May Cry 4: Not Impressed!

the demo was too easy, i mean when i beat DMC3 THAT was an accomplishment, that game was hard as piss...but its probably because the devs didnt want to make players frustrated the first day.

anyways it might seem repitive becaues you couldnt do all of the special moves in the game.

Ninja Gaiden fans might as well just stop commenting on this game completely. Ninja Gaiden was so overrated its not even funny. Sorry that it was just about the only game of its kind on the Xbox but there was a few more on the PS2 to not have one game to play like that. Itagaki creates pretty little games that have flashy graphics and no art style. He really couldn't tell a good story if his life depended on it. You play for 30 minutes not seeing any plot then here comes a 10 second cutscene with a bunch of random stuff then you move on. The controls for the game are about the only solid thing but are destroyed by the gameplay, the only comparison I am going to make to DMC is this the combat in DMC was faster paced and more fluid. Ninja Gaiden was always about taking your time and the fighting just seemed rigid.

And people think Ninja Gaiden is good because it is difficult, since when was it fun that a games easiest difficulty is harder than most other games hardest.? Its called balance folks a game should really have an easy/medium/hard set up not Ninja Gaidens hard/harder/ultimate ninja warrior crap. I played through the game twice on Normal really feeling that the whole thing was just a big chore. I value a games storytelling above most else these days because gameplay mechanics have pretty much been refined in all genres and storytelling is the next big thing to improve upon. And Ninja Gaidens storytelling was something out of a low budget third rate 80's anime.

No.

lol

lol wut? that game...is not overrated....hell, people still didnt know what it was til trailers of NG2 started showin up

As a first-time DMCer, I have to say that I am now completely addicted to the game and can't wait for this title.

At first glance, I wasn't that impressed (as many others on this board), but once I got the hang of it I couldn't seem to put it down. I've now gone through the demo over a dozen times and enjoy it each time.

This is one of those games that you just need to spend a little time with and realize the depth of the combat system. IRing will take quite some time to master. This game seems to be up there with the NG series IMO.

Wow someone actually learned that the game has depth. I'm amazed.

No doubt the other r.e.t.a.rds dont even no how to charge the red queen properly.

For starters it is a really beautiful game.The character design is top notch and the enviroments (although somewhat empty) are great to look at.As for the gameplay it is naive to try and judge a title out of a demo,wait and play the entire product and then come and express an opinion.Furthermore the action in DMCs is not about technical play as it is about style and that is OK in my book since very few games can compare to Ninja Gaiden in terms of skill requirements.I think that this is gonna be a great game,actually one of the best action games this year (I am more thrilled about NG2 of course) and a value buy.We'll wait and see...

any one know???ajaa

demos are free of charge. I heard you need a gold account to download it. and yeah the demo is released.

thats cool. do you have to have played the other Devil may cry game to get this one or is it totaly different

Spent a long time downloading it form live. Then once I got the play it I didn't really get into it. I've played DMC and DMC3, I got the first one and didn't like it so I skipped over the second and a bud told me the third one was really good.

DMC3 is the only one that I beat and the only thing that kept me going was the story line. This one seems much like the others but if the story is good I may buy it.

There are a few things I didn't like and one was the combat. I was hoping for something a little different than in the other 3 games other than pressing the "Y" button tell it falls off. Another thing is the graphics; the game really doesn't seem up to date with graphics like Assassin's Creed. I have to say that I hate how the doors in the game do not open you just kind of walkthrough them.

And one last thing the player movements still feel very unreal. He will just up in the air at like 80MPH and then stop in mid air and fall back down just as fast. It just makes the game seem even less real.

does anyone know??

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 haven't read all the pages so I'm not sure if someone quoted on this but Ninja Gaiden is NOT a button masher.Not in a thousand years.That's its difference with other action titles:Its focus on technical gameplay.

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

Oh you mean just like how you press the same exact buttons to do the exact same things for every shooting game? Shooters are by far the most repetitive.

i just finished the demo, and WOW :shock: i loved it! :) the bost fight was awesome

finally 360 gets a good action adventure game

slogged through 3 pages of this thread... only thing i have to say is that Nero's sword swing sounds really cool.grafkhun

haha agreed :P

I know the third one was fun but this iss just so boring it's just pressing Y and B alot the game takes no skill.MAJORLAGGY

The demo is only on easy mode. Try just pressing Y and B on Dante Must Die and try and get anywhere. Devil May Cry is about pulling off combos like a fighting game for different moves. Though the demo doesn't tell you what the combos are plus combos are unlocked in game by using the orbs which you also cannot do in the demo. Capcom really cut the legs out from under DMC4 with this demo. Only people who spent extensive time with the previous titles will know that there will be more to it than this. Its the naive newbies that think that this ove-restrictive demo is an accurate representation of how DMC really is.

To the people who said it was too easy, direct quote from IGNs review :

"It's also bitterly hard on the default difficulty setting, which should come as no surprise to veterans of the series. Capcom just makes hard games. Suck it up. Stop complaining – there's an easy option that brings it back down to near-human levels of reaction time and skill. If anything, this is a game that's meant to be hard; you should learn to play with Nero's less button-mash-friendly combos and reduced speed."

What I learnt from this thread = DMC Fanboys are arrogant, self richeous and annoying.

I'll pass on this button masher.

I do think everyone here should stop bashing the game based on a demo, but seriously. I take it you are a big DMC fanboy, and honestly, no one listens to fan boys. Especially when you call people stupid.

I was never impressed with Devil may cry series to begin with, I'll probably try DM4 but it'll probably be boring.

The same can be said for any fanboy. CoD4 fanboys, Halo 3 fanboys, GoW fanboys.... etc. etc. >_>

NINJA GAIDEN A BUTTON MASHER?????? Have u played the game on hard difficulty? u wouldnt last more that 1 minute button mashing on NG!

Why are you evening bothering to arguing with everyone? What does it matter to you if some people didn't like the demo and don't want the game? It is not going to effect you in any way, shape or form as you iike it and you are still going to get it. I've seen a lot of your posts on this thread and you clearly are a fan of the series and that is great, but don't try to shove it on others who don't want it.

As for me I thought it was a decent demo, better then some of the other ones we've gotten recently I will probably only rent the game though as I never really replayed DMC3 on my PS2 and I don't think this one will be any different.

Some people are concerned because this demo did not give an accurate depiction of DMC. Furthermore, if DMC4 doesn't get a lot of sales on the 360, considering the cost of porting the game to another system.... DMC5 will likely go to the PS3, and that will... not be good for the DMC fans. So these guys urge you to try the game out, either rent, or buy. I guess this is the way it flows;

DMC4 (PS3) - 140k sales.

DMC4 (360) - 30k sales.

in Japan.

If I'm not mistaken, I think you have Assassin's Creed on your list, if doing assassination after assassination is not repetetive, then you obviously don't know a good game when you see it. Not to mention Guitar Hero is the same thing over and over, except in different beats. Same thing with every game pretty much.rex8000
