Meh, it was really just that red axe that boosted your style rating way more than it should've. I don't think it's worth protesting over that much, but I do hope they fix that in the updated version that's coming out this year. DMC was a solid game I thought.

It has already been fixed a long time ago but I won't deny the style ranking is still more lenient than past games.
Yeah, right.
This was from the demo, it's not that simple in the actual game. I mean, it's no platinum game, but credit where it's due: DmC was perhaps the best Japanese-style western developed action game of all time.
On the subject of Rising 2, I can't wait to see what Platinum can do on current gen consoles.

You mean the difficulty where nearly everything dies in a single counter attack?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. 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.
I won't argue with you considering we both did the game in Revengeance. What I'll argue as someone who did 1000G'd Bayonetta and did DMC3 in DMC is that it was an arbitrary mode. It was just as hard and rewarding as these two games. And it was nothing like getting SSS from a 3 hit combo for sure.

Team DMC and P* are on a completely different tier of action gameplay. NT couldn't pull off the technical action elements, and instead, went with a slow paced, easily pinned-to-air combat system with a (terrible terrible terrible) set of push/pull toggle controls to make up for their deficiencies.
Whether or not you can "cheese" your ranking via jump cancelling killer bee, or initiate a super mode to demolish enemies means nothing when the base gameplay is inherently more precise and technical than the loose, forgiving, and outright different gameplay found in NT's game. If just so happens that many fans of the technical action genre find those differences to be inferior.
Wait...
Our opinion is different than yours, and you comment stating as much.

Yet we're the closed minded ones. Okay.
With this i can certainly agree.
Why do i have the feeling you've been singing all day?
MGR is definitely a more rewarding and challenging game than DmC, but DmC is not some broken cakewalk either, despite what that gif appears to show.
Really, DmC is a good game. The needless hate is just never going to stop, I guess.
PG. If it's actually being made.
Platinum Games. Kojima would never ever let anyone else make this game.

Look here, I am well aware of the technicality of the gameplay of DmC,DMC, MGR, Bayo, etc. I KNOW that DmC isn't as mechanically rich as the others. It's just that I found DmC's combat to be more enjoyable than that of MGR and people give me shit for it because it's an unpopular opinion which is what I find to be highly annoying.
So you're saying a person can have a wrong opinion? Uninformed, sure. But a wrong one?

I'll definitely know when I play through the fixed DmC PS4 version. Can't wait actually.
yah I even think he said in the documentary he would never let a western studio make an action game like this.
Here it is if you want to hear it.

Credit where credit's due- Capcom and Itsuno had to hand hold Ninja Theory to make their combat system functional.

This is the truth. Ninja Theory has come a long way.

I'm still chopping away at Pt 1 on PC.
Does anyone know if my cloud save will work if I continue on the Steam Mac client?

DmC is absurdly easy. Criminally so. The DE will fix a lot of those problems, and shows that both NT and Capcom recognize them as problems.
MGR was also too easy, though, to be fair.
People use "opinions" as a crutch to make unsubstantiated claims. Maybe you can't have a "wrong" opinion, but you can definitely have a "bad" one. If you put an opinion out there without substance, you're free to have that opinion just as everyone reading your opinion is free to judge it and you for having it.

Please be about Gray Fox and the time he spent between MG2 and MGS. Raiden's little "Jack da Rippa!" story wasn't that interesting.
For best western action I personally prefer the Gow franchise with god of war 2 taking the cake in gameplay, level design and bosses though gow3 is close in that regard. So fucking hyped to see Cory Barlog at the helm again.
Back to MGR. I adore that game it felt completely fresh in a genre that imo was churning similar gameplay or inferior takes on great gameplay. The sequel is high priority for me.

Honestly, MGR felt like they were still experimenting with mechanics and included things they didn't fully test out or balance. It felt unique in design. With more time in the oven, MGR2 could really be something amazing.
I'm so excited. Can't wait to hear more about the story, but I really just want the game to take place in future New Zealand. Rose and John were there in Revengeance and it'd be cool to bring them into the game.
Plus I just want Raiden cut the skytower in half and throw it at someone

:lol :lol Me, too!
Exactly. The game has obvious flaws but I can't hold that against it because it really is a breath of fresh air with its mechanics. The foundation is there for the sequel to flesh out every aspect of its gameplay and deliver a game for the gaming history books.
Double boss-grad fight is the nuts. Probably one of the most rewarding fights that doesn't completely devole into the VR mission territory bullshit.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

Man, this better not be no bull
MGR was my game of the 7th generation and MGR2 will be purchased so fast, my wallet won't have to react.

Hopefully the sequel will be given a larger budget unlike MGR which had it's later levels drastically scaled back.
Plus the sequel needs better secondary weapons and a quick select. Ohh and bring back wolf or a similar AI and have it do something useful rather than scout ahead.
Also melons or no buy!
