I couldn't finish it. usually i love going back to see how series started, no matter how busted up and antiquated the first entries are. dmc1 just didn't do it for me. usually when I look at them, the core skeleton gameplay is already there. the ideas are being cooked. it just might need to really be sanded down and smoothed out over the next few entries before it churns out a truly great game.

dmc1 does the opposite though. im a big resident evil fan, and having an action hack n' slash game use things like fixed camera angles as well as a weird save system that discouraged risk-taking (imo) made for a generally not fun experience after the novelty wore off.

I had fun for a bit, up to around the 9th chapter. it was really slowing down and becoming more of a chore rather than something I was genuinely excited to play which sucks. here's to hoping dmc 3 or bayo 1+2 give me a better outlook on the genre, im sure they will
