Would you guys accept games like MvC3 or SF4 as DMC substitutes?
you mean those games specifically or fighting games in general? I already play the hell out of those games too...well, UMVC3. I'm pretty done with SF4.
i sort of see where you're going with that but no, action games are still very different altogether. fighters don't scratch the same itch.
Action game characters have more moves and mobility/spacing options to deal with large groups of enemies, who are designed around your character's move set. Combo and move timing is looser + more free flowing...none of that weird link timing like SF4 or long, drawn out combos in UMVC3. And you have the progression of the story mode-- picking up new moves, fighting bosses, new enemies, etc.
playing fighters online is a bit of a crapshoot and i'm not going to locals, so people who put up a good challenge who aren't too strong or too weak are hard to find. action games have consistent difficulty that you just have to figure out using the options you have, repeating the same situations over and over. fighting game situations change depending on who you're playing and you might just get blindsided multiple times in a row and not learn anything new.
in short, i want dmc5 dammit! and another upgrade to UMVC3, but that's a different thread.
