DmC was legit, what's wrong with Ninja Theory? Hellblade is looking good as well!

I really didn't like the colour coded enemies and all that, but the big reason I wouldn't want Ninja Theory on MGR2 is because the first one had some of the most fun boss fights I've fought, whereas DmC's bosses are incredibly boring, despite some being cool to look at.

If we get this and Scalebound in 2016, it's going to be a hell of a year.

Also this is a lock for soundtrack of the year, Rising soundtrack especially during the boss battles was god-tier
 
Everybody's a winner: The Game? Looking back at my Revengeance run in MGR, and my DMC3 DmD run and crying internally right now hahaha.

But revengence difficulty just made the game hard by being cheap ie.

Doesn't make it more of a solid game

edit: oops sounds like im trying to defend dmc

What is this gif supposed to show?

Slow, unimpressive combat is still rewarded by SSSUPERDUPER positive reinforcement, and is used as a basis for just how -wrong- Ninja Theory got the technical action genre.

There's nothing cheap with that. Use Defensive Offense (aka the dodge ability) to put one of the enemies between you and the rear enemy, then proceed to fuck shit up, countering any attacks against you by the near one to wreck its world. Then, move on to the next one and repeat.

I suppose it doesn't. Again I haven't played DmC, despite having it in my free PSN game backlog. But MGR is solid. As hell. If you look up my 360 gamertag, you'll see that I did DMC3 on DMD mode which IMO, isn't a better hack'n slash title than MGR. Which I also did on Revengeance haha.

That particular gif is a complete joke for someone who completed both games on their hardest mode.

I wonder why we need to have a NT interlude in every character action game thread. Look, NT did a pretty decent game that can't hold a candle to MGR or the original DMC, especially 3 and 4.
Additionally we don't know if MGR2 exists, but we do know one thing, if it does, it's a PG game, so...

I started it. I should never have made the joke.

The fact that some people can't believe that other people have differing opinions is fucking ridiculous.

I can do the same with DTF yet nobody calls dmc3 out for that.

DT explosion can't be spammed, it takes time to charge, and is beside the point. Regardless of how awful the combat grading system is (accurately) portrayed, the gif also shows slow, loose combat - that isn't found in DMC3/4 or MGR.

Ninja Theory can be let within a mile of Metal Gear Rising when they finally get their shit together and make a decent game, ok?

DTF gives you SSS by just standing there doing nothing. It isn't stylish at all. Also, killer bee jcs allow you to quickly gain DT. I found MGR's combat to be rigid and let's not act as if you can't cheese enemies in MGR either. Ripper mode+mantis blade wrecks fucking everything.

No, it just means certain opinions are wrong.
Sigh...

You mean the difficulty where nearly everything dies in a single counter attack? :p Very hard is actually harder. And either way, when is MGR is actually hard, it's due to poorly designed cheapness, like the garbage VR missions, or the constant barrage of out of screen attacks. But you can also be cheap with the abundance of bullshit weapons the game has. Let's not forget about Ripper Mode either. Or automatic rations, of which you can store up to five. Really, the only qualifier I would use for the difficulty level of MGR is unbalanced.

The only thing that DmC gif shows is that the style multiplier for the demon dodge combined with the trinity smash is borked.
