Who wants to play it and tell the rest of us if it's as horrible as 2 and 3 were.

I know nothing of it aside from the fact that Dante's not in it, except the guy who is in it looks exactly like Dante, but he's not Dante, he's Nero.

Also, he has a motorcycle sword.

No, not the badass chainsaw-sword of WH40k, but a sword that he rides around.

I don't get why people put hope in a series that's done nothing but failed them for the last 7 years.

I'd like to say it's one of those series where the first game was so amazingly good that people keep holding out hope, but then I realized I can't think of a single series like that.

Yeah, you've kind of got a point there. Warrior Within and Two Thrones were...alright, I guess.

Warrior Within had a lot of the same gameplay with none of the spirit, none of the interesting shit, none of the personality.

Two Thrones just became medieval Splinter Cell except not interesting.

Gameplay was fairly DMC-ish: really tough, but fun, with lots of cool shit to pull off.

Personally, though, after the third scene of Dante surfing on missile while screaming "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO," I couldn't play it anymore.

I downloaded the demo and within the whole 10min of play they let you have (seriously.. it is timed to 10min or something like that) I was done with the game. It had some neat stuff but the actual play part was poop

What the hell? The demo was fucking awesome.

Also you play Nero for most of the game but Dante is played for at least the last quarter of the game. It's better balanced to be more friendly towards newcomers to the series. I was turned off by some of the other entries to the series, too, but this game seems pretty sweet to me.

Then again, I liked Ninja Gaiden.

Were we playing the same game? The Demo for DMC4 that I played had 2 styles of play:
a 10min run around kill stuff and maybe get kinda far game
and a "kill constantly till you die" game..

The 10min one was all Dante running into doors and warping through with killing and shooting stuff on the side..

The other one.. well.. honestly i never played because of me deleting the demo from the 360

it's play a level for 10 minutes or kill a boss after a single encounter

There was a whole lot of killing in the 10 minute demo

I don't know what the fuck you played but you suck at it

I have played every Prince of Persia and they are all awesome. You're gay for thinking otherwise.

Also FF7 sucked.

Over on SA Accounting nightmare(a crazy ass goon thats oddly fantastic at DMC) played through the 10 minute demo and beat the boss while killing all the bad guys, and the game looked fantastically fun.

My 360 is redlighted at the moment so I don't know. But I liked 3 if you ignored the story, which after playing through 2 twice I'm just used to doing.

See, in today's internet-society there are only two types of games. The awesome, and the utter shit ones.

Edit: That's the digital age for you, I guess.

I loved Sands of Time and Two Thrones. SoT was just amazing as a whole - Warrior Within was only fun when you were the Sand Wraith. TTT managed to wrap up the story very well, and I was satisfied with how they wrapped up the story.

I really enjoyed DMC, I tried 2 but absolutely hated it, didn't try three and to be honest I kind of don't want to. I saw the Nevan Guitar scene and I thought it was too over-the-top and silly.

I wanted to like this game, I REALLY did...

Unfortunately, it's just not as good as 3.

It's way better than 2, though. It's playable, and I daresay it even has replay value.

It's just not a masterpiece.

Also, Parce, next time you play 3, just skip the cutscenes and play. If you can't stand the over-the-top characters, you still need to play the game for the gameplay which is still unmatched by any game past or present.
