Hey Saurian keep posting man, watching your new Royal Guard vids made me want to play the game all the way through again. It is an amazing game. You shouldn't let people get to you. I would never of realised the potential in this game if it wasn't for saurians first play posts.

This has been a slow burner for me due to the poor timing on my part when I bought it (was in the midst of about 3/4 other titles !) but now I'm about ready to really bust it open.
Reached lev11 on Normal so far - Some Gunslinger, lots of Swordmaster and a *little* bit of Royal Guard - I find that going back and rattling levels on easy after busting them on Normal can be a good strategy for picking up what's going on - That and trips to the lab of course 8)Comment

Saurian,Originally posted by Saurian
calm down! it's not been my intention to offend the people, who fell in love with the game so much! i just posted my initial impressions with the game, which unfourtunately were not too positive to say the least. why can't you cope with that? i guess i'm in love with the Halo games as much as you are with DMC3. but this doesn't keep me from realizing its shortcomings and understanding why some people don't like to play Halo because of these issues!
@ Bleeders
it's not that it's kicking my ass that much! it's more the gameplay and design that i still have to adjust to - again! i loved Ninja Gaiden for its precise controls, Resident Evil 4 and God of War especially for their inital accessibility. these are features that i expected very much to be present in DMC3 - from the start!
@ Mardigan8
like i said, i loved the first Dante very much, the game is still in my collection. but DMC2 was so uninspiring and dull to me that i even didn't bother to go beyond the first few missions. sold it.
@ all
but thanks to your fabulous vids (great stuff, Saurian!!!) and overly positive comments on the game, i still wont give up on it! i promise

Will we run a sweep on how long before Uli is back promoting his love for Dante??? Opening bets anyone??
Dont let the fact that a game is not instantly accessible to you put you off. Believe me and the rest of us when we say, the sense of reward for putting a bit of work in is immense, you wont be dissapointed if you choose to stick with it!!
I to loved Ninja Gaiden and at the time of playing it felt the combat was the best I had seen. But... then Dante swaggered back onto the horizon and swept Ryu aside like an old hooker. Gaiden had amazing visuals but when compared to DMC3 lacks true substance and atmosphere!! The story in DMC3 also rocks the box!!
IMO, DMC3 is the finest example of pure gameplay in the market right now, period. No daft frills, no buttering you up... just rock solid, kick ass, jaw on the floor GAMEPLAY.
Long may Dante's reign continue...

Just finished mission 16...that was fun
Loved the boss at the end - another example of a perfect boss fight, IMO.

Well I was finding it a bit tough until Nevan, after that it all made sense and the rest of the game just seemed to flow, so Uli why not see how you feel after you take that bitch outOriginally posted by Mardigan8
Saurian likes to think that Nevan is his lady cos he can take her life off with just two attacks O_o Theres no argument here tbh >_< His pimpin hand is way too strong!!!11!11!!

Apart from the point about blocking and maybe the controls, everything else is this guy's opinion. I'm guessing you all think his opinion is wrong, and he has no right to express itOriginally posted by Uli
He's stating what he feels about the game. It's a 1st play thread, and he doesn't like the game. I myself enjoy it, but I fully understand his point about it being a bit too difficult (especially with the awful PAL continue system I'm having to put up with).Comment

Being a forum I dont think anybody who hangs out here is against people expressing their opinions...
Maybe we should have a seperate thread where peeps that have played beyond Mission 5 can chat about how great this game is and leave First Play for those who haven't got their heads round it yet?
Oh

hehe, yeah, now i see a vague light at the end of a long, very long tunnelOriginally posted by spagmasterswiftIts OK to be wrong about a game, just stick with it and you will soon see the light
but, however, neither do i think that my impressions about DMC3 are wrong nor that there's a definite wrong or a right about any game at all. i think in DMC3's case it's very much a question of everyone's personal taste according to story and character design. i guess even Saurian will find it hard to convince me to find young -bigmouth- Dante cool or likeable in any way!Comment

Hey man I was only playing about when I said you were WRONG. Really hope you get into DMC3, and that you haven't felt bullied by our over-enthusiasm.
Right, I'm off home to play

thanks, it's encouraging to find members beeing aware of the Thread's subject
nobody should be supposed to be giving a competent, full scope review in a First Play Thread, right? this is the reason i can't understand Saurian's harsh words! this Thread should leave room for initial emotions and, hence, human fallibility!
not quite! i said i was beginning to loose my interest. but it's true that i don't like the main protagonist! do the cutscenes continue being so embarrasingly awful?Originally posted by Moodmon

I like them. Who cares about the cheesy lines, it''s the insane stuff Dante does in them. Completely over the top, and completely great. Well, I like DOA, what do I know
