Overrated

[Mayakashiii]

I really like the DMC series, but being totally honest I have to admit that this game is not THAT good. It doesn't deserve all the praise.

Controls are awfully complicated, so if you're not used to playing fighting games, you will just mash through everything...and still succeed! There are so many golden orbs, even if you are that bad, the game gives you a thousand chances to try again.

The whole game feels repetitive and boring. Game mechanics, level design, etc. It's just not good enough for a game in 2019 - even though it is stylish.

[FeilDOW]

Your opinion is always welcome, but just because lots of others like it really doesn't make it overrated, just not a game for you.

No game will make everyone happy and there will always be some of the playerbase that think its overrated.

[BassChamber]

The game has high production values and is very very polished. Unfortunately it is true that levels design is a bit lacking.

But animations, graphics, and gameplay are top notch, like DMC4 but with even more options.

About controls, yeah, you have to remap some buttons to really unleash the potential. But this is what DMC is, you play for style.

You know what annoyed the crap out of me in this game? After nearly 30 hours of awesome gameplay pretty much without any problems, it softlocked on loading screen only once - after wonderfully beating final boss in M20 with barely getting hit on SOS.
After credits, game decided to go full eternal loading screen on me - and when I restarted, I lost all of my orbs for whatever reason. I was so pissed and mad, I just went through it with crap score.
That's the reason to crap on the game, but saying game is repetitive and game mechanics in the game well known for actually having those well and good?

And no dude, you're not

unless you play on easy, but then it's hard to take your complaint about the game being boring and repetitive seriously.

I'm all for differing views, because DMC5 is a great game but not a perfect game, but then...

Nah, fam. I mean, on Human/DH (maybe even SoS/DMD), sure? But even then, nah. The whole point of DMC is to look stylish and get that SSS, but unless you're playing on auto (which sorta diminishes the point of the game anyway), that ♥♥♥♥ ain't gonna cut it. Being content with C and B ranks isn't how the game was meant to be played or designed, and getting those high ranks/learning the intricacies is where the longevity of the game comes from. Otherwise you get a DMC2 scenario where people are just spamming their gun for high ranks/easy completion.

Complicated control? ==> change to Auto combo Mode
so Many Golden orbs ? ==> don't use it, and pretend it never exist
repetitive and boring ? ==> nope, it's DMC... you will get bored fast if play it with easy/human mode and auto combo enabled..... play with manual combo, devil hunter + difficulty and try to pull SSS stylish rank on every encounter...

i think capcom made a great effort to balancing gameplay between casual and hardcore player...

What can take a bit of getting used to is that the game plays very different depending if you are "locked on" to a target or not. If you fail to understand the lock on system it will seem like your character it doing the different moves even if you use the same input, For instance most launching and gap closing attacks requires you to be locked on

not good enough for 2019
and just not liking it are 2 complete different things
i really like metro exodus but to me it wasnt that great
but i dont declare it as outdated even if it was in certain moments.

the gameplay might feel clunky at first but once you start to realise how to consistently pull things off you will find yourself see crazy ♥♥♥♥ all over

Dark Souls 3 = Spam 2 buttons the entire game (3 if you count estus) for hours on end through the most boring levels in the souls series.

Duh, the game is designed around replay value, not the amount of contents. If you ever played any of arcade games including Doom 1 (Even Doom 2016 campaign mode) or Mortal Kombat you should already know that by now

Dark Souls 3 = 60 - 70 hours, various maps, bosses and enemies. Just need to spam attack and roll.

World of Warcraft = 200 - 1000+ Hours, 3 worlds, tons of maps, 200+ bosses and 1000+ enemies. 10+ classes with 3/4 spec each, a lot of items....


"Why are you comparing Dark Souls with WoW?" - You are probably thinking rn....


*Exactly*

[ﾏｿｿｿ ₒ❤]

The control was like this in like in DMC4 too, and with more abilities unlocked after finishing first run, playing on higher difficulty for more challenges is normal for DMC

so why don't you go ahead and rebind some button for easier manual combo and play higher difficulty?

Ninja Gaiden Black is effing hard on normal mode. We shouldn't be forced to finish the game once to unlock a challenging mode.

There is nothing remotely stylish about a super limited moveset that revolves around button mashing.
