dude, if you tried to just jump back right before she grabs you, she is either going to....

A. grab you because you didnt time it right

or

B. wait until you land on the ground to grab you

its not that easy and i seriously doubt you beat her using that technique.

man, whatever you do dont get valkryie profile. the game blows. thestory so far makes absolutely no sense. the game is set up where you are forced to level up your characters way too much. you are forced to run around beating up lame monsters oer and over for countless hours. after countless hours of leveling up, your guys still arent strong enough to fight the boss of the level. 4 his and your entire party is dead. i imagine this games total length is only around 20hours but with the forced leveling you might be looking at 80+ hours to beat it.

also there ae way too many characters in the game. you are also forced to level them up to get gems that power up your characters. this game would be great if it wasnt for the lack of EXP points you earn for fighting. it may seem like im complaining about the difficulty but im not. this game is extremely cheap.

imagine meeting a boss, getting wiped out quick, then going back through the level fighting hundreds and hundreds of battles against lame monsters hoping to build your characters strength only to fight that same boss again and getting killed in one or 2 hits. its stupid.

i love leveling up my characters in RPG games but when my character at level 10 and is only lke 100 hit points lower then a level 25 character, something is wrong. a level 25 chracter only doing maybe around 20 more hit ponts of damage then a level 10 character is lame. valkrye profile is lame. dont believe the reviews.

i actually think she is kinda easy. ive gotten to the point where she can barely hit me with her attacks. its the kiss of death that is cheesy and unescapable. im going to try using the trickster style. ive been using the sword master style. if i cant beat her this time, im giving up on the game forever. its too cheap for me to deal with. im 25 years old and i got better things to do then freaking out over a boss because of her cheap attack.

if i keep tryng and trying, eventually i will trow my playstation out the window in a fit of rage. thats just the type of gamer i am. i know cheap when i see it and the kiss of death is very cheap.

im at the part where i have to fight the vampire lady. ive figured out her pattern but there is one thing i cant figure out. when i get her life low she does this move where she bumrushes me and drinks my blood healing her life in the process. i nearly smashed my controller because it just seems like the move is so cheap. i cant figure out away to escape it. i ran through nearly 10 healing potions and she still keeps catching me healing her life.

ive tried jumping away from her but she floats around and catches me every time. ive tried giving her a shotgun blast in the face, still cant escape. ive tried running away but she is relentless and faster then me. seems like once she powers up the kiss of death she chases you until she catches you.

i was so close to freaking out i was near the point of ripping my own hair out. the move is just too cheap. what do i have to do to escape that move? help me out before i smash my playstation. i cant take the frustration.

final fantasy 12, final fantasy x2, valkyrie profile

i dont like any of thse games. i got like 60 hours into final fantasy 12 and was bored the entire way. i dont like the weapon set up, license set up, having to make your own style of character, story, fighting, etc...

final fantasy x2 i dont like the mission set up

valkryie profile, i dont like how there are so many characters you have to get. i only use 4 and im always getting new guys i could care less about. then thy want me to level them up to get gems and stuff when i sacrifice them.

maybe im just getting old but im not feeling these new RPG set ups. i was a huge fan of final fantasy 7 and 8. i also like games where i just go around and beat stuff up like final fight, aliens vs. predator, double dragons,etc..

my favorite game is ninety nine nights. it got horrible reviews everywhee but i love it. its simple yet hard at the same time. tons of cool characters with their own story lines and you can level them up,find cool weapons diablo style, and you fight massive armies single handidly.

i have a slim PS2 so what do i have to do to get it online? i posted a message in the how to go online section but it doesnt look like anyone post there anymore.

can i just plug a cable into the back of the PS2? i also read that there is some kind of disc that you need. do i need that disc? if so where can i get one?

well i guess that settles that. thanks for the reply

seems like the IGN guide on this game is lying about the guns because i specifically read that you could go higher.

oh and what is the best style to use in the game. i like the trickster style and my weapons of choice is the shotgun with the rebellion sword.

ok so ive been playing qute a bit of DMC3 special edition lately and i have a few questions.

im up to mission 9 on normal.

here are my stats

ebony and ivory maxed at level 3

shotgun maxed at level 3

artemis maxed at level 3

trickster level 3

swordmaster level 2

gunslinger level 2

royal guard level 2

now ive been beating the first mission over and over to get as many points as possible. i have maxed out all my weapons and attacks. i have a ton of points left to spend. my question is this. i read a walkthrough on this game and they say you can go past level 3 for your guns. in the walkthrough they arent even as far as i am in the missions but yet they have level 4 guns i guess. how did they do it? it wont let me go any higher even though i have the points. am i missing something here? seems like they always had the option to go to level 4. well, its not even an option for me.

bottom line, I WANT MORE POWER!
