Why is this game so popular?

[Spites]

It's very much an uninspired version of devil may cry/god of war/new (and awful) castlevanias but with boobs. Am I missing something?

DMC4 Dante is the absolute unrivaled best of this genre. Nothing comes even close to the amount of freedom and possibilities you have with Dante's game mechanics. Bayonetta is the closest thing Platinum has ever done when it comes to game mechanics.

Mechanics and gameplay are pretty much the most important thing to core fans of this genre.

DmC was a horrible bastardization and a huge downgrate to what has been mechanically achieved in DMC4. I care very little for the story, so my issues with DmC do not come from that.

God of War hardly even compares to weaker titles like Metal Gear Rising(still a very fun game) Saying that bayonetta is uninspired compared to GOW is just nonsense.

i also like dmc 3-4 .

Combat mechanics in DmC were not what made that game less than great. I mean, I personally enjoyed the game quite a bit because I'm not some mindless fanboy, but the combat was certainly not what I would even reference as the short-stick in that game.

i dunno. the fact that almost every enemy in the game could only be hurt by weapons of the opposite color was a HUGE negative aspect. granted, there is a massive amount of freedom in your availible moves and when they can be executed, ar more than all the other games in the series combined. its honestly quite hard to hate the game unless youre one of the morons who thinks that changing dantes hair color from animuu ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to that of an actual human, is some game breaking ♥♥♥♥.

then again, it was the 2nd in the series to be nothing but a linear tunnel simulator. 4 established the new gameplay mode of "there is no exploration. you just go forward".

DMC dante has by far the most freedom. dmc4 dante is dmc3 dante but slowed down. mechanically, DMC was the best game in the series. story and progression were its biggest flaws, but if you honestly think the extremely variable gameplay mechanics p[resent in dmc are worse than the stripped down mechanics dmc4 has that they carried over from 2 and added an idiot with a grab ability, youre the kind of person who needs to NOT speak of this series at all. dmc4 is pure trash in every way.

If you want more games like this on steam then you gotta support the ones that do come out on here. So if you want C:SOTN, GOW ( a stretch, I know), DMC, get this game. :)

Sotn has been surpassed already on PC tho.

Dissagree, I also loved the combat in DMC4. Overall it had problems, but the action was superb imo.

fair enough. i can respect your opinion. but the guy who i was quoting is clearly just a fanboy of the series who was upset at dante having a different hair style, because DMC is lightyears ahead of the other games in terms of mechanics. just the whole red enemies have to be hit by blue weapons ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and the game being a run in a stright line simulator detract alot from it and make it not really a devil may cry game. granted, 4 did have SOME exploration. but for the most part there was none. best virgil mode by far however since he basically gains all of neros abilities on top of his own, and slow walking through the entire game and 1 shotting everything is just so badass.

I care nothing for the story or characters in the game I didn't hate it I didn't like it. Just like with the originals, which was typical Japanese nonsense.

Yes the gameplay outside of combat mechanics had issues. The backtracking was excessive the level design was pretty bad. They should have just made Dante and Nero have seperate campaigns.

Look I get it you like the essentially streamlined easy automatic version of the combat mechanics that borrows elements from the massive PS3 hit Heavenly Sword. Yeah sure you don't want to put any effort into the combat systems and like how the game does combos practically for you.

That doesn't change that DMC4 Dante was way more complex when it came to combat mechanics. It's not just slower DMC3 Dante. He can use all his wepaons and and styles which can be utilized during combos. Which is huge and a complete game changer to how dante played in 3

DMC4 Dante was designed with players like this in mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SopZtjWzl18

DmC was designed for newbies. So everyone could pull off that cute little combo with mundance mechanics the require zero effort, but also limits the potential of the character. Not to mention the travesty that is Devil Trigger in that game.

Not even close because Dante's move set in DMC4 is double the amount in DmC. Which says a lot of a character who you only play as for half the game.
