I never played Enslaved, but I kind of liked the story and characters of Heavenly Sword (even though it was like 4 hours long).

Don't know how they fucked this up.

They retreaded old ground.

RE: The ending. Personal opinion below but it is spoiled just in case

Spoiler

unhype and lackluster are the two words that immediately come to mind for me. Just...not much there, the pacing, the battle, the dialogue, the voice acting, etc.


Also, that whole combat, at least on normal, seems like it's for people who could never beat Vergil2 or 3 on DMC3, and now it's nerfed so they can beat it

 

[Cheska]

Why would you do that to yourself and miss out on Vergil? I'm not getting the game but if I were it would be Gamestop, no question.

:O I completely missed the part where it said Gamestop in the US. I only saw the Canada logo at first. YAY!

 

[toastyToast]

WTF @ the reactions to the ending on other boards.

People on Gamefaqs are acting like this is ME3 ending bad caliber. Jesus christ...

I really don't think it's that bad... or maybe because I was expecting T-Rex Vergil/tears of a thousand baby bad.

I'm expecting FUCK muffins finding their way to Capcom HQ

DmC Demo Tips and Tricks for Newcomers

Press:

R2/L2 and X/O.

All you need, with the exception of dodging enemies and jumping over the fire ground "floor-is-hot-lava" attack.

That's all you need, newbies. Even on Sons of Sparda.

 

[BeautifulMemory]

:O I completely missed the part where it said Gamestop in the US. I only saw the Canada logo at first. YAY!

I could be wrong but you might need to be the rewards member to Vergil's campaign...at least for online

 

[PJX]

From the videos, Aquila looks pretty awesome. I like that its a 'ranged' melee weapon.

I haven't seen videos of that one.

 

[Data West]

Also the characters in Enslaved are terrible. I'm sorry to tell you this, but if you think Trip is anything other than a disgusting, selfish human being, you might have some psychological problems.

 

[Chamber]

Hope ezekial's ban isn't too long. That would be unfortunate.

So for those in here actually buying the game, where do you guys have it preordered at? I think I'm leaning towards Best Buy at this point, except I hate how they handle pre-order bonuses

Given the Vergil DLC is Gamestop exclusive, I don't see a reason to pre-order elsewhere.

So par for the course? Dmc never really had endings that were anything special to me.

Holy shit at this OT lol. Also, dat ending. What the hell was that? Weaker combat and a weak story too. What was the point? Capcom please....

 

[AlexBasch]

Ergh, liked the demo but...

Man, I'm going to pass this up hard. Looks extremely fucking awful. Got enough backlog to worry about instead. Oh well.

 

[Data West]

I liked that new Splatterhouse game. That's probably worse than this.

Though that had Municipal Waste in it...

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

ezeikal and jett being banned when the game comes out soon is unfortunate.

 

[Dahbomb]

I have a hard time even calling this garbage an ending. This literally feels like they just cut to a commercial break and will be resuming with the ending afterward.

The ME3 ending is a lot better than this.

Now let that sink in and realize what I said.

Wow, I wasn't expecting much but NT and Capcom were able to make an ending even worse...

Bland, generic, boring. Nothing epic or emotional in the fight and ending.

Wasn't NT some company that was so super-awesome in storytelling and writing ?

...Three to four years. Three to four years and this is the end result. All that time and resources (especially time since we can spend a year on just a redesign; no seriously, Indie developers would KILL to know that they can loligag on just one aspect) and it could have went to something...worthwhile. Not even neccessary DMC5, but...something. And we don't even have the worst of it. Can you imagine what it FEELS like to spend so much time on a project and this is your best? My heart goes out to the staff who begrudgingly stuck with this.

That ending was so boring that I kind of wished the Vergilsaurus Rex was real.

*cancels preorder*
That's not a joke either I really just canceled my preorder after seeing this. Once I was hyped for this game but as more is revealed it just looks worse and worse and if this fight beaten on normal with the standard 3 hit rebellion combo and a stinger here and there is the ultimate challenge I have to look forward to in this game I honestly think I'll be better off just watching a Let's Play of it or something.

Oh my God... this... this is AMAZING. Holy S*** I was not expecting the ending to be this horrible wow lol. Just... wow I just can't believe it was that bad lol.

It's on par with both Ghost Rider movies and Spiderman 3.

This is worse than NG3's. Can't believe I just said that.

Thank goodness NT came in with their super awesome, near legendary, often imitated never duplicated story telling abilities to tell us this new and fresh look into... DMC3 with bonus Mundus! Something no other game studio would be ever to attempt much less achieve.

The meltdowns are hysterical!!!

 

[TheSeks]

Given the Vergil DLC is Gamestop exclusive, I don't see a reason to pre-order elsewhere.

The Vergil downfall is the only worthwhile one. The others are a complete joke in comparison.

Spoiler

lol who is pre-ordering this game anywhere else than Gamestop?

It is.

I mean you're free to like the look of the character, but Donte's character is absolutely horrible. Dante has some charm with his humor. Donte is trying to be edgy for edgy sake and completely fails at it ("FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!")

 

[BeautifulMemory]

ezeikal and jett being banned when the game comes out soon is unfortunate.

Jett didn't get banned because of this thread, did he?

 

[G-Fex]

I don't think I'll miss Anime Dante

I welcome new Dante.

At least I heard his name was Dante.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

It's not THAT bad, GameFAQs...it's just pretty damn lame

That "three to four years..." comment cracked me up though

nigga takin it HARD

 

[Wolf Akela]

So uhh... I won't have issues with Steam right? My store's gonna release all versions on the 17th. It'll just let me install/pre-load?

 

[Beth Cyra]

The meltdowns are hysterical!!!

I don't know, some of those seem pretty fitting for what I saw. The Commercial one being really spot on in my eyes.

 

[Chamber]

I have a hard time even calling this garbage an ending. This literally feels like they just cut to a commercial break and will be resuming with the ending afterward.

This one is true though. The abruptness of the ending is the really shocking part.

 

[G-Fex]

So the ending is literally like the one to 007 Legends?

 

[toastyToast]

Think about how painful it must be to knowingly cultivate an L for that long

My heart goes out to Ninja Theory

 

[ViewtifulJC]

So the ending is literally like the one to 007 Legends?

You are literally the only one who bought that game on NeoGAF

 

[Chamber]

Wow, someone played 007 Legends?

 

[SlasherJPC]

I really don't understand why people still play games for endings. I stopped years ago. Most endings are terrible...fact.

 

[antitrop]

I never played ME3, but I've heard enough about it on the internet that I might as well have finished it myself.

I don't think DmC is on that level, hardly.

 

[G-Fex]

Nope. I never even got the least bit tempted to buy it at the store.


I watched all the videos on youtube.

I really don't understand why people still play games for endings. I stopped years ago. Most endings are terrible...fact.

This I knew all game endings were shit but since this is the big cinematic age of gaming I guess people expect a lot more.

 

[Dahbomb]

So par for the course? Dmc never really had endings that were anything special to me.

DMC3's ending was godlike. I have played many games and DMC3's ending is still one of my favorite (among the likes of MGS3's ending). The music, the build up, the co-op sequence, the Jackpot scene, the boss fight at the end, the lines and it all wrapped up very nicely to lead into DMC1 with Dante setting up shop using the line that Lady used. And if that wasn't enough... if you beat 100 enemies in the post credit sequence you got Vergil's side of the story leading into DMC1 as well.

As a fan I could not have asked for a better ending. It was satisfying.

 

[Data West]

I really don't understand why people still play games for endings. I stopped years ago. Most endings are terrible...fact.

I'm trying to think of a good ending that people praised as good.... Fall of Cybertron!

 

[BeautifulMemory]

Similar to that 3 to 4 years comment,

You are a DMC fan and have been waiting for 5 years for this sequel, you are even hyped for DmC

and now you come to the finale...

 

[Raxus]

I really don't understand why people still play games for endings. I stopped years ago. Most endings are terrible...fact.

But man if you stick the landing...

Legendary.

 

[Beth Cyra]

I really don't understand why people still play games for endings. I stopped years ago. Most endings are terrible...fact.

I enjoy several endings in games.

Hell DMC3 ending is probably the best part of the game. Going from the Dante and Vergil team up to the final fight is an amazing thing.

 

[Camp Lo]

I liked that new Splatterhouse game. That's probably worse than this.

Though that had Municipal Waste in it...

SH was so under appreciated. Too bad it will never get a sequel

 

[Data West]

Similar to that 3 to 4 years comment,

and now you come to the finale...

I thought DMC fans were shitting on this thing since its announcement.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I never played ME3, but I've heard enough about it on the internet that I might as well have finished it myself.

I don't think DmC is on that level, hardly.

DmC cannot reach that level because it's not built on the narrative of 2 previous games in which player choice was a crucial element.

 

[Kouichi]

I really don't understand why people still play games for endings. I stopped years ago. Most endings are terrible...fact.

I like satisfying conclusions.

 

[antitrop]

I'm trying to think of a good ending that people praised as good.... Fall of Cybertron!

Spec Ops: The Line.

 

[Data West]

Spec Ops: The Line.

Probably same amount of people played that as 007 Legends

 

[BeautifulMemory]

I thought DMC fans were shitting on this thing since its announcement.

Some are still looking forward to it. I really don't see how in general people can come away satisfied with that battle and ending, especially after years of waiting. Personal opinion of course.

And I hate this game with passion...but even then the story was the one thing I have always wanted to see how NT tackles it, to see if they could bring compelling fresh angles to it, especially to the sibling rivalry

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Spec Ops: The Line stupid ass implausible plot twist kills most of the goodwill I have for the ending

 

[Dahbomb]

Walking Dead's ending was excellent but to be honest the whole point of the game was the story and characters... there wasn't real game play in it so they had to nail that part at least.

 

[Data West]

SH was so under appreciated. Too bad it will never get a sequel

I loved the music and the ridiculous anal fatalities. Everything else was just ok, but those parts really helped. Especially the latter.

 

[antitrop]

Probably same amount of people played that as 007 Legends

Spec Ops reached the #1 selling game on Steam several times throughout the last few weeks. It was a slow burn throughout the year.

It's #2 right now as I type this, after being #1 for pretty much the entire last 48 hours of Steam. I think a rather fair number of people are getting the chance to play it.

 

[Beth Cyra]

Shattered Memories had a great ending, twist was great and really was a wonderful pay off for the story that was actually good up until that point.

 

[NoirVisage]

Jett didn't get banned because of this thread, did he?

how did both of them banned? That sucks, they were almost zealots in their defense of NT and this game, but i can't imagine them saying something to get them banned. Actually Jet maybe, but not E.

 

[AlexBasch]

Trying to compare the amount of people who played 007 Legends and Spec Ops The Line?

Dear god, this thread is full of gold.

 

[KillerTravis]

It seems every DMC fan forgot about the endings of the other games.

Hint: They were not amazing.

 

[Dahbomb]

Wait a minute... Ezekial and Jett were banned?

WTF is going on here?

It seems every DMC fan forgot about the endings of the other games.

Um no. DMC3's ending was the best and DMC4's was the worst (IMO DMC4's ending is no different than DmC's). DMC1 ending is not that bad but it is forever tarnished by "FILL YOUR DARK SOUL WITH LIGHT". DMC2's ending is underrated because despite 90% of the game sucking, the end sequence of the game was actually not bad with the fight with Despair Embodied, the final shot that Dante takes to his head and him riding off into Hell like a bad ass.

So yeah DmC's ending is way worse than DMC3's, probably a bit worse than DMC1's and about the same as DMC2/DMC4's ending... which is still pretty mediocre when all is said and done.

 

[antitrop]

Wait a minute... Ezekial and Jett were banned?

WTF is going on here?

Jett was banned before this thread ever went up.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

I still think its offensive to class it as a game, but Asura's wrath had a immensely satisfying ending.

Shame you had to pay to see it.
