Did you somehow forget the scene where Nero fails to rescue his girlfriend, breaks down, and throws a fucking tamper tantrum on the floor like a five year old?Symp4thy said:
Fuck no, the game was awesome.
And you took the letters right out of my keyboard, that game was awful. If you played DMC 2, you would know 4 is miles better.scnj said:
I think they just created Nero to make all the people miss Dante even more. I mean you start off the game with Nero and when you start playing with Dante that is where you feel the game truly exists. Its like 2 fast 2 furious and tokyo drift.....first they made you miss the entire cast from the first movie and then they made you miss Bryan....then BAM! they all come together and make millions....its pure genius.
Although I haven't actually played Devil May Cry 4 I'm still going to say 'yes', simply because with few exceptions video game and movie franchises that go beyond a second sequel (in other words the trilogy stage) usually start stagnating badly. The writers for Back to the Future knew this which is why, I suspect, they wrote it to be a trilogy.
Actually, yes. But still, that hardly makes him emo or whiny. It's one scene and his girlfriend just got abducted by demons. The crying was at least a little justified, even if it was kinda overboard. If anything, I could understand people complaining about the "love story" in DMC4, but not Nero being emo and whiny.not a zaar said:
i dont think it was. other than 4 i played the 1st DMC. the only thing i would say is that i dont think that they thought of the 1st time players of the game, i find some bits are just to hard
One of the few games I have ever traded in before finishing it.
I couldn't beleive the audacity the devs had in making the player backtrack through previous levels with the exit points randomly fucked up and deliberately misleading.
That's when I stopped playing and said 'fuck this game'.
Edit: And yes, Nero was a whiney twat.

In comparison to Devil May Cry 2 (which did add some good stuff to the series, admittedly), Devil May Cry 4 was not a mistake by any means. I think it could have used a good bit more work, but overall it was fun and interesting.
It did enough good things to keep it from being a bad game. It introduced Nero, who was a fun character to use (as well as one with a lot of potential, both gameplay-wise and story-wise). His Devil Bringer was a welcome addition to the game, so much so in fact that controlling Dante in Stage 12 left me a tad disoriented without that delightful arm.
It also gave Dante the ability to switch between styles on the fly, which led to some fantastic combos and an unmistakable sense of variety. The additions to each style were appreciated (though Royal Guard still blows), as well as the addition of a "new" style for Dante, however un-diverse it may have been. I didn't like that both of Dante's new weapons (I don't consider Gilgamesh completely new) were silly and useless, and I especially didn't like that Dante didn't end up wielding Sparda at some point, but that is forgiveable. At least his Devil Trigger was vastly superior to that of DMC 3.
The upgrade to the graphics was pretty nice as well. It was also comforting that enemy designs in number 4 were vastly superior to those of number 3, which consisted of enemies with scythes and enemies of piss-poor design, and no exceptions (except for most of the bosses).
In spite of its shortcomings, I don't consider number 4 a failure. I don't consider it much of a success, but I wouldn't even consider it a failure in the least.
