The only thing that I didn't like about the game was the soundtrack. It had a very pop-ish & jazzy flow that didn't appeal to me at all. It fit the sexy humor of the game perfectly but I still wish it had a more "Metal" and "Rock" edge akin to DMC.
Personal preferences of course! Those who want to disagree may do so!
Bayonetta is great. I admit the story is kind of "huh,what the hell?!" but the charm of the protagonist, crazy over the top level design, and ridiculously enjoyable combat saved it for me!
I kinda agree. Not all rpgs rely on morality wheels and other bells & whistles. A game can be "open" by leaving things implied as it stimulates the imagination even if it does have a basically linear direction.
The more I read blogs like this the more I want Infinite in my collection! If only today's economy allowed me to buy more games at full price!
Yeah, I own both the standard DMC 3 and the easier "special edition". Got the later just because it added Vergil as a playable character. (Though sadly he did not have his own story line.) His play style was silky smooth though!
Many Japanese execs live in a time anomaly pipe dream from when Japan dominated the gaming landscape. Since then Europe,America,South Korea,China,and Canada have arisen to challenge them. It's difficult for egomaniacs to acknowledge when they're not on top anymore!
Don't get me wrong. I still love Japanese gaming! But I also love games like Mass Effect Dragon-Age: Origins, Divinty 2 Dragon-Knight saga,Magna Carta 2,Bioshock,Alice: Madness Returns,Enslaved,Alan Wake, and The Witcher as well!
Though I'm limited when it comes to purchases because of my wallet, I try not to be too much of an elitist in any direction.
I'm probably appreciating Jeanne D'Ark on my psp for much of the same reason. Aka, a beautiful game with a good story that has old school strategic turn based combat. Maybe I'll check out Enchanted Arms in the future as well. Thanks for enlightening me!
I can be a jerk sometimes but I at least try not to be,Angelo. lol. I'm also not above apologizing.
It was all sarcastic Michael. lol. I'm heckling S/E for blaming Eidos for their "poor sales". (More like they have ridiculous expectations & poor money management skills.) For the record, I think Eidos is coming out with great titles!
I dunno. There are a lot of gamers not so hung up on being challenged to the point of absurdity. For example, I played DMC 1-4 for the gameplay but I rarely put them on the hardest difficulty setting.
NG3 didn't sell as well due to lack of weapons, bland level design, and a reduction in gore as well. It wasn't only because it was easier.
As for DmC? We're going to have to agree to disagree there because to me the reboot looks really fun. Less frames per second or not, it has the same frentic combo heavy combat as previous entries and the morphing environments are cool!
I think with the new DMC it failed because fans are fanatical, not because it is actually a shit game. Then again, I actually enjoyed Enslaved too.
I was thinking that too. Go to any reply section & there are plenty of assholes typing perfect english as well. "Jerks" hail from everywhere!
