MY GOD WHAT A MOTHERFUCKER OF A GAME
I did like it, but i should Not have played this shit after DMC3
i do think the story, while simple, is really satisfying though because of the prior knowhow of DMC3
but other than that I really think my problems with DMC3 were doubled down into playing this, and its not even the game's fault. Instead of harping on "wahhh i wish i did this or that" I'll get into the meat of what i Did like about this
I think this game has a palpable as fuck atmosphere and its really cool, I liked how not everything was streamlined and sometimes the angles really were impressive shots, I enjoyed the flair each weapon have in spinning into frame and the details like fire and lightning were So COOL fuck and ofc the cheesy coolness that goes into the dialogue and voice acting that boomerang's back around into being some of the raddest shit ever. I also really fuck with how short this game is, all things considered. I ALSO REALLY FUCK WITH THE SOUND DESIGN LIKE DANTE SOUNDS SO.. GRIZZLY? He sounds less like hes having fun in this one compared to dmc3 and more like 'im a get shit done kind of guy' rather than a 'tch yeah ill get shit done whatever' kind of guy
Now im gonna sound like im full of shit for saying this but I think some of those positives Also work against it, I think that often times
i didnt know what the fuck i was even doing in this game
i also think some of the bosses kind of suck dick
and i fucking hate the camera angles
the camera angles are so aggravating its insane
sometimes i felt like in a couple rooms there were atleast 5 different shots id be walkin into and I hATED it
Holy FUCK i hated it, and it looks like I wont get a taste of DMC without it until I actually start and finish DMC4
(i was told not to play dmc2 but, m a y b e...... M a y b e i will.....)
I am givin this game 3/5 because my gripes aside it is still a perfectly functional early ps2 era action game and there were moments when it genuinely did have me hyped. But those moments were also kind of bogged down by me just hating some gameplay design decisions
