It’s not as bad as it seems (coming from a rather avid UT04 player). Every shooter is better on a pc, but what good is a multiplayer only game that has nobody playing it? I may as well tell him to go buy Anarchy Reigns or something.
Picked up Donte on the Steam sale. With the sale price and 60fps framerate, I don’t feel totally ashamed. There’s also a classic Dante skin, but it’s severely lacking in Reuben Langdon.
That’s on my cousin’s steam library somehow. I could play that shit for ZERO dollars and I still refuse. Fuck that shit and fuck Capcom for allowing it to happen.
For anyone that picks it up, I recommend the Floris (or was it Florins?) mod, which adds lots of nifty features that streamline the more obscure parts of the game and more importantly, ups the amount of units you can put on the battlefield at once as well as gives pre-battle orders to your troops.
For those unfamiliar, it’s basically a Medieval war leader simulator. You grow a band of mercenaries/army to assault your foes, destroy your rebels and besiege castles. It’s great. Also the feeling when you ride a horse and smash your couched lance onto the unsuspecting enemy for massive damage is classic.
Dead Rising 3’s performance is all over the place. One second everything is butter, the next frames are dropping like crazy. Cutscenes perform worse than the actual game.
Graphics are by far the best for any open-world game though. Right up there Sleeping Dogs+the official HD texture pack.
If you guys don’t have a beast PC and want to play Dead Rising 3, wait for some optimization patches first if they’re even on the way. I haven’t tried fiddling with the settings at all either, but when you have a game that looks like Wolfenstein locked @ 60 FPS at all times on full settings yet this game can’t even maintain 30, you know something’s wrong.
Supposedly everything can be bought with in game currency, although how much of a grind it’ll be I can’t say. Basically they cost that much because people will pay that much.
I remember back in Jr. and High School playing this game on the old Macintoshes every day during computer class…the teacher would let us game if we finished our assignments early.
This was such a fun game back in the day…even though 1/2 the time I lost falling into the hole I made.
I admit that Tomb Raider 2013 is a great action-adventure game…but a terrible TR game that doesn’t truly reflect the TR franchise.
So… that said, I will honestly state DMC is a bad Devil May Cry game…but a great action-adventure game.
Not to mention performance-wise its an incredible port for pc.
I’m happy with my DMC pc purchase.
I’m also ok with my TR2013 purchase.
But I due wish that DMC & TR had not deviated from its roots.
oh yeah, almost forgot, Sine Mora is on mobile.
Sine Mora is on steam, but last night I found out its also on google play store.
Want me to skip all the character/story gripes and just hit the gameplay then?
Lack of a user controlled lock on feature limits the amount of possible moves assigned to the characters (lock+direction+attack)
You COULD mitigate that lack of variety with the different weapons, too bad the entire thing is based around matching colors. So one type of weapon has to be used on one type of enemy and so on.
Your combo doesn’t break until you get HIT? Real? That’s bullshit.
YOUR COMBO SYSTEM IS EASIER BASED ON FINDING HIDDEN ITEMS? Hello 5 hit S ranks! That’s BULLSHIT.
Nothing about that game FEELS right either, it didn’t nail any of the intangibles that made DMC just feel like a fun game. It LOOKS really good, don’t get me wrong. But that’s about all it has going for it.
oh please stop it with the “no lock on button=bad controls” complaint.
neither does ninja gaiden either.
there’s nothing inherently wrong with an auto lock on feature that DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Killer is Dead and many other hack n slashers employ.
who cares if only one type of weapon is used for certain enemies. lots of hack n slash games make it mightily apparent some attacks/weapons are better than others in taking down certain enemies.
the game goes to SSS ranks if I remember correctly. Sure its easier to achieve S rank if triple S is the top rank you can get.
killer is dead is triple A rank too.
minor gripe.
and you just quoted me saying DMC is a bad Devil May Cry game…but a great action-adventure game so why are you comparing it to the previous Devil May Cry games all over again?
You are hung up on the title of the game and judging it based solely on your expectations that come from its title. Which is fine, understandable, and in your right to do so.
But, try to imagine DMC without the DMC title to the game. if the game was called something else.
for ex, Dante’s Inferno or some bs like that.
Or if you had never played a DMC game before.
Try to judge the game solely on the experience of it without any attachments to the previous Devil May Cry games.
its in no way as bad as you are making it out to be. Its not a bad game at all. at all. its a great game.
when I first played and finished Tomb Raider 2013 I hated it. gave it a bad review on steam and everything and said it was an awful game.
but in hindsight I overreacted.
its a great action-adventure game. But its a terrible Tomb Raider game.
Its nothing like the Tomb Raider trilogy in any way shape and form.
if the devs had given the game another title other than Tomb Raider, I woulda gave it a raving positive review and loved it dearly. So I understand if you wanna hate DMC, but I think you are being prejudiced against it cuz it blasphemes the previous DMC1,3+4 games with its title association.
