So yeah, I haven't been online as much as I normally do these past couple of days. I'm sure some of you might have noticed that, friends to be precise. And to answer any questions that will arise in due time, the reason for my AWOL is because of this:
The game came out on February 6 and I was there to see it happen. Yeah, the cashier just went "We have Devil May Cry 4 now available, so please form a nice orderly line in front of the counter." Likewise, I love the game so much and it's more addicting than popping bubble wrap for a consecutive number of hours.
For fellow DMC fans, I did get the Collector's Edition. The metal tin case was simply too awesome to pass up for a couple of dollars more, and the included english-dubbed anime was icing on the cake.
The real money worthy prize is definetly the game itself. Although I got a taste of the demon-slaying in the demo, Nero's abilities still doesn't compare to the wise-cracking series' veteran, Dante. Instant S T Y L E switching literally opens up limitless combo possibilities, and although his weapons gallery has been shortened, this certainly makes up for that fall-out.
My only complaint on the game is that there was slightly too much backtracking. The bosses never get old and I could kick their ass a thousands times and for me, it'd still be fun as hell, but it would've been nice if Dante was given his own set of grusomes to massively pawn.
On the lighter note, I just finished the game yesterday on "Devil Hunter" difficulty and I'm already planning to complete it in both "Human" and "Son of Sparda". I'm even going to run my money in the old school "Bloody Palace" mode, maybe earn a couple of easy Proud Souls from it.
Yours truly is ranked the 1389th best player in the Devil May Cry Network global ranking. I know, I suck but you know, I always laugh whenever I see the top rankers. They're all japanese :lol:
Well, thanks for reading, I'm going to spend the next few minutes to think about whether I'm going to stay at the computer or go ahead and play the game again :D
