Assault? Do you mean Alastor?! :o

HOLY SHIT ALASTOR MAKES AN EPIC COMEBACK FROM DMC1!
 
Dynasty Warriors 6 review
* One-button combos aren't very impressive, but are useful (?)
* Added things to do boost difficulty but also enjoyment.
* Many variations on events, great for Three Kingdoms fans
* Lots of enemies on screen to combo
* Insignificant details pop in annoyingly
* Feels like there's room to improve
* X360 load times are a bit long

Play Yosumin and tell me it's only worth 7/8/8/7...

Look me in the eye and say it.
Just played the demo and it's kinda like Sega Swirl but with respawning random blocks. It's nothing that will light the world on fire. Nice background music though.

Seriously the ONLY POSSIBLE way to fuck Yosumin up, is basically to not have Yosumin on the screen.

10/10/10/10 in Famitsu, or else confirmed sham. Guess it's confirmed sham Famitsu (everyone should know this though since forever)

So what's this game and why should I want it?

It's just a sword. Not a big deal.

It is the only sword that can do this to Dante and leave with the greatest cutscene in the franchise.

(WOW 6 years later DMC's graphics are still so awesome :BOW Team Little Devils)

EDIt: ARGH curse you DantesWrath

Sounds like Musou.

Thought a Final Fantasy media blow out was coming up in this weeks Famitsu?!
Why? Some misinterpreted nonsense?
Famitsu has been running the Final Fantasy Festa feature for months now, and no news has come of it so far.

Can you confirm whether the article says Assault is a weapon or an adversary in DMC4? Thanks in advance.
 
YEAH! R&C deserves it. :D

Noooooooooo. It is Alastor!
I sense that this poster is in the process of furiously writing an adult fan fiction about Alastor to upload to I<3Swords.com
 
Wait, we're supposed to get Tri news today?

(sorry, forgot a very important apostraphe.)

No, I have no idea. It just says the devil in DMC1 that looks like a blade. I guess you can draw your own conclusion from that. The poster on 2ch said asaruto, which is usually interpreted as assault, but he could have made a typo, meaning it is actually Alastor. I don't know the game that well though. From what you've posted, I'd assume you're right.
 
What ever happened to Dorimaga and Dangeki mags? Are the scans sometimes from them? I just noticed that we only seem to get Famitsu scores now.
 
Dengeki scores are worthless... they're basically a random mixture of 75/80/85/90 depending how high the profile of the game is. Dorimaga doesn't exist any more (it's called Gamaga now) and I don't think they do reviews. Famitsu is the only mag with good news, except for rare Dengeki exclusives, and Square-related stuff which usually premiers in Jump.

Dorimaga had the best reviews. They were really really long too. :(
 
Hey ducky, we need to go raid AQI for some Away media, 3 months away and we've still seen nada on the game!

After ASH's poor performance, both Away and Blue Dragon DS have been canned and moved to cellphones.

HOLY CRAP @ NEW DMC4 NEWS!!

SPECIAL DVD FOR EARLY BUYERS??? WTF???

WTF is Assault? Looks like a blade? You mean this blade:

Blades.jpg


or this blade:

And people saying Alastor is just a sword haven't played DMC that much or they wouldn't be saying that. :lol

It's like saying the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 is "just a gun".

The quote basically saids "Assault is a demon from the very first game. It resembles the form of a sword."
