Title: Bebpo gives the skinny on DMC4. DMC fanboys, bad news
Post by: Himu on February 01, 2008, 08:02:47 PM
here's hoping bebpo does his usual flip flop or we're doomed

Quote
man, wtf did they do to the upgrading system in DMC4 >_<  Fuck I have a feeling this is DMC2-2. they artificially made it longer/harder because they took out orb mining. red orbs aren't used for upgrades, some random shit you get when you finish a level is used. so since you can't get any of that stuff during the actual levels you can't upgrade mid-mission. which sucks.

also all of Nero's upgrades that you can buy at the start are really zzz. like "streak lvl.2/3" "arm range extender lvl.2/3"  "pistol charge lvl.2/3". hardly any new moves, just longer reach/more damage. hopefully when you play as Dante it'll be way better cause Nero seems totally lacking in movelist. they try to make up for it by letting you "unlearn" moves at anytime and put the new orbs back into the new orb pool so when you are at a mid-mission upgrade point you can unlearn shit to learn new stuff. but that's stupid. the whole fun in DMC is upgrading every time you find an upgrade point with the orbs you've gotten.

lolz, you can carry 30 vital star S, 30 M, 30 L and 3 yellow orbs. they've mainstreamed this game so much it's distinguished mentally-challenged. it's like DMC for people who don't know how to play videogames and have never played a DMC before.

the cutscenes suck too, because they didn't get the DMC3 cutscene guy back again, and now there are TWO HOURS OF THEM

Uhhhhh....

yeah right it's gonna rock Bebpo. It's gonna rock. It's gonna rock...

Nero always looks like DMC for nubs anyways because his long ass arm. I'm going to break my NO RENTING GAMES rule and just rent the game at release. I can't not play this while all the other people play it before me.

The fact that reviewers are liking DMC4 while saying DMC3 was too hard, when that game was mostly piss easy even on normal and hard modes, is really starting to worry me.

Can you do the hardest game modes right off the bat?

that you can carry a million recovery items is irrelevant -- recovery items are for pussies, and using them drops your rank. red orb farming is likewise for pussies. I STILL BLIEVE

the reports of extreme backtracking and recyling are troubling, though. sounds like capcom got a bit lazy with this one. WAIT FOR DMC5

edit: and judging by the demo, i really like nero's arm and rev mechanic

I liked the demo, I thought about buying it, but I know it'll wind up in the backlog. And if it's got repeating areas and backtracking then I'll just pass.

I'll probably wind up owning it someday anyway

DMC1 - amazing

And it's not even that hard like DMC3. I played it last month. Definitely play that one.

Sounds like Capcom had to come up with more content despite realizing the game might bomba bomba.

But 200k sales in Japan is definitely encouraging.

I got much further in DMC1, I just got distracted by another game at some point and that was that.

I didn't finish GOW or NG either, I don't think the genre is really meant for me.

I liked the demo fair enough, like drohne said, using the arm to pick up and spin enemies around was cool... I dig the grappling hook, too. But I haven't even gotten around to playing 3 yet... so I'll hold off for a bit.

Post by: TVC15 on February 02, 2008, 06:45:51 AM
I'm going to buy it, but this is what I had suspected.

1) Capcom invested a lot of money in this game, and they took their time developing it.  What with rising development costs, they NEEDED it to be more accessible than the previous entries, because. . .

2) The series has been in a downward spiral.  First game sold over 4 million, the second sold 1.6, and the third one sold 1.3.  Capcom wants to make the game more approachable than ever in the hopes that word of mouth will bring back some of the people turned off by the difficulty (or alternately, shittiness) of the previous games.

I am basically considering this game Devil May Cry 4: Devil May Sell Out, based on word of mouth and the demo.

Fortunately, I'm not going to complain, really.  I have less time to dedicate to games, but I like finishing them.

No. In DMC2 you got to play as Dante OR what's her face and you had  FULL GAME. In DMC4 you only play as Dante for 5 MISSIONS. That is UNCALLED for.

Dante and Nero don't play alike, which is where the complaints are coming from.

Nero's core gameplay is the Just EX revving and the devil bringer. Apparently there is little in the way of other moves and weapons.

Dante is Dante from DMC3 with even more hardcore stuff.

Personally I like how Nero plays-- reminds me of DMC1.
Title: Re: Bebpo gives the skinny on DMC4. DMC fanboys, bad news
Post by: bork on February 02, 2008, 10:38:51 PM
Dante and Nero are not "the same."  Especially after the different styles they gave him in DMC3.  But Nero has gotten some new basic attacks like the grab, where as before Dante just had the powered-up devil trigger.

I started DMC4 friday night and I don't see what there is to really bitch about after the beginning of it and having played the demo before.  The game reminds me more of DMC1 than DMC3, which I prefer.  It doesn't seem like the focus is on combos anymore.  There are two difficulty levels to start with (human and devil hunter), and an optional tutorial mode toggle.  The cut scenes are great and Nero is just as much of an arrogant jerk as Dante is, so no complaints there.

It is disappointing to read that you can't play as Dante the whole game.  I figured when you beat DMC4 you got that option.  I wouldn't susprise me if this game ends up much easier than DMC3 was (which I barely touched; still need to play it!) due to all the complaints about the previous title's difficulty.  Most folks found it to be too much.  The hardcore will unfortunately suffer for this.

I'm not saying they have the same weapons and moves. I'm saying that Nero stays STATIC most of the game and you can't upgrade him with new moves, which is BORING and one of the biggest parts of DMC's formula!

i'm just messing around in here, and anyway i'm not that confident that dmc4 will be as good as dmc3. i'd like to hear what you think

Well, i realize this series has a lot of long-term, hardcore fans so I don't want any casual observations from a Ninja Gaiden fanboy like me to diminish people's expectations unduly. I hate the way GAF hangs on bebpo's flip-flopping. GREAT SUCCESS! OH NO IT AM ACTUALLY MASSIVE FAIL! 

With that said, I'm enjoying it a lot so far. I liked DMC1 and 3 as well, though i didn't finish either for various reasons. Nero seems fairly similar to Dante in the early going (lvl 4 now) but I doubt it will stay that way for long. I've barely unlocked any special moves yet, despite finding THOUSANDS of orbs...gah. I went for 'Devil Hunter' difficulty but it's really pretty simple so far. I use about 3 or 4 moves in combination and it's easy to clear a room without getting hit. The bosses are more challenging...but I knew how to beat Berial from the demo so not so bad. As Groo says, there's a lot of tedious last-gen stuff to contend with...non-seamless levels being the most annoying. You can change your controller set-up but if you do, all the on-screen combo tips still display the defaults...jesus people, how hard is a text string search and replace?? And i just did a secret mission that i had no hope of completing since it relies on a special move i haven't unlocked yet! grrr. Timed mission scoring is very irritating when you have puzzles to complete. even simple ones...Also, platforming with a fixed camera is distinguished mentally-challenged. Half the time you can't even see where you're supposed to go with the Devil Bringer jumps. It's a literal leap of faith a lot of the time, and if you miss a jump, you can end up having to re-clear a room full of enemies before you get another try at it. Lots of little niggles like that. Anyway, the actual combat is a blast and makes up for all of that and more.

Just got to the frog boss on lvl. 4. Taking a quick break since I'm finding hand cramp to be a problem since you have to be attacking constantly due to the lack of any sort of guard/block button (at least so far).

I agree with Dronhe.  This is a must play game for this month.  I'm not too much into the crazy combo stuff from the last game, so the Nero and Dante stuff doesn't affect whatsoever.

Post by: Cormacaroni on February 03, 2008, 02:12:27 AM
Did another level, with no boss. Yup, there's lots of backtracking. It's a bit aimless to be honest...in theory, i'm supposed to be chasing Dante but he hasn't been seen for ages so i'm really just looking for open doors and buttons to press at this stage. Would be nice to have some kind of objective other than being a rat in a maze. Oh well. Combat remains fun as hell. Still haven't found a use for the rev thing on the sword other than with bosses (when they go down for a bit). Hard to tell if it's really doing more damage or whether i would be better off just slashing away though. And the guns remain useless as anything other than a means to keep the counter going. of course, i am basically a DMC noob.

True, but both of these are upgrades I don't have yet. The gun is so shitty i'm not yet convinced it's worth upgrading. If i was better at the game i'd be unlocking more of these upgrades but there you have it.

I'm still buying this day one.

I think you should. It'll take dozens of hours of unlocking moves & harder difficulty levels and trying new combos before it really becomes clear whether this is a 'hardcore' game or not. And even if it turns out that it isn't (which I stress, is far beyond my capacity to judge), it's still as much fun as any other button-mashing actioner out there. Looks great too! Sho Nuff was clearly high when he said Dead Rising looks better than this.

so i found out you play as dante for only 5 missions

this is awful news

glad i'm not buying it on day one. no dante full game no sale. sorry capcom.
you should have already known that!  You're simply trying to find excuses NOT to buy it and to be a dirty poor.  Go justify your piracy or something.  Because you failed at this

No. In DMC2 you got to play as Dante OR what's her face and you had  FULL GAME. In DMC4 you only play as Dante for 5 MISSIONS. That is UNCALLED for.

Yeah but in DMC 2 you could be bosses like this:

i didnt even have to move.  So uh....yeah, lets not use that as an example ever again

Question: is it possible to fight all the bosses near the end (Mega Man style) like DMC3?

and if so, with Nero or Dante?

Given that there's a 'Character Select' option at the start of each mission, I'm PRESUMING that you can play on any level as Dante on your 2nd playthrough. I'm only on Mission 6 so take that with the proverbial grain of salt.

you can unlock super nero and super dante later on which have infinite devil trigger. the character selection is so you can choose between the regular and super version of each character, but you can't pick the other. each character can only be chosen for its missions.

Nero has the same weapons and the same moves most of the according to bebpo! That's boring!

If they have the same moves then who gives a fuck which lanky white haired dude you're playing as.
