[quote name="Mischief Maker"]For posterity, in case of deletion/banning: [quote]lol. I've played the damn game. Back to back or front to front, the story is pants. The only reason I kept watching was the dark haired cutie. [/quote] Story? Who said anything about story? Who plays videogames for the story? Thanks for telling me that war is bad, videogame, you've broadened my horizons. Also, thanks for giving me 1000 points for all those guys I killed before you delivered this epiphany. I was talking about the kickass action scenes, deconstructing the silliest excesses of kung fu movies and anime. Did you turn your nose up at Army of Darkness because ITS plot was pants? [quote]Which is merely a continuation of what happened in DMC3, with that stupid labyrinth stage where you had to fight all the bosses all over again back to back, without even, you know, new stages in between, as in DMC1. Granted, DMC4 sounds much worse, but seriously, if the reviewer did not have such a hard-on for 3 he would have noted this. This is simply a DMC trend that seems to be getting worse with each new game, and not something introduced with 4. [/quote] Eh, the next-to-final level replay of all the bosses is a brawler staple going way back in the arcades. Anyway, it's extra fighting scenes, and that's the whole point of the series. DMC4 is a retread of THE ENTIRE LEVELS, did you enjoy the jumping puzzles? The laser hallways? The key collecting? You get to DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN, YAY! [quote]I call bullshit on this. If I didn't know better I'd say the author hadn't even touched the damn games. [/quote] Okay, granted the fire gauntlets were next-to-useless in DMC1 until you powered them up, but that was a design flaw. If all you're doing is Stinger-ing enemies to death, you're playing the game wrong. It's all about the style meter/score and if you spam a super effective move, you lose your style rating. You're Mr. Arcade, why are you ignoring the scoring system? This was actually one of my biggest complaints about part 1, the rigid unflexible style system. You WILL do one of the pre-approved "stylish" combos if you want a high score, and you better not get creative with throwing an unapproved move or you lose it all! DMC3 had a totally superior style system that allowed for showing off. And lest we forget that DMC3 featured an oversized electric guitar that you used to kill demons by ROCKING THEM TO DEATH! Debate over, I win.[/quote]
