No one ever mentions how if you wanted to nerf UT then the only 2 things you would need to do is
>Stop the player from being able to charge to level 3, lvl 2 should be the max without essence
>Player can't hold charge indefinitely, the UT will come out after a certain period at max level
Also, if you're on the mind that essence should exist then killing with UT should not reward more essence.

Looks nice. I don't like that in some videos the enemies seem to be disappear into thin air when you finish them off with a UT, but this looks quite good. I just wish there was also armor falling off of these dudes, that would justify their heavy design.

Did you preorder Ninja Gaiden 4 yet, anon?
Even if you personally don't like the game or the direction it's taking the series, or even if you aren't a Ninja Gaiden fan you HAVE the moral duty of buying it if you want the action genre to be reborn.

The Soulslike genre is dying; this is the absolute perfect moment to deal it a deathblow with NG4 selling 20 million copies.

A boss that isn't bullshit and lets you play around with it is more fun than a boss that doesn't let you do anything.

KC is an actual well constructed boss in 5, in 3 he's just annoying and there isn't a lot of fun to have there.

I hate forced minigames that play nothing like the base game
I hate Space Harrier
The Space Harrier segment is the reason I almost gave up on the first Devil May Cry and I never bothered replaying it
Knowing they're chock full of Space Harrier and other unrelated minigames is why I will never touch Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101 (even when I already have Bayonetta in my Steam library; bought it as part of a bundle).

I played all of them to death except for TW101 which doesn't look appealing to me. So I'd say I'm pretty starved.
And your .webm just confirms what I said about Nioh 3. Fuck "action" games where you're glued to the floor and spend the most of your time 1v1ing lumbering HP sponges that can kill you in 1-2 hits.

It's tedious enough for me to not bother with the game at all.
Imagine my shock when I was playing Yakuza 0 and I found as part of the main story you have to play Space Harrier and that racing Sega game whose name escapes me right now.
Thankfully you only had to play the thing and not clear it or get a high score or some shit.

(I know the irony of bitching about "unrelated forced minigames" and playing a Yakuza game).

Single player games don't have that much longevity to them. You can easily get a thousand hours out of online multiplayer, but for single player games - I don't know about you but for me, not matter how much I like and replay the game - I'd play about 200 hours maximum.

Also, just because you've played those games doesn't mean you've mastered them. I highly doubt you've beaten all of those on the highest difficulties, let alone done that + gotten high ranks in the relevant games. A real action game fans know you haven't really beaten it until you've mastered the highest difficulty and/or gotten the highest ranks there.

Which bring a very interesting point: If the genre has infinite replayability then new games aren't needed.
It's okay if you never get a new DMC or NG or Bayo because you don't need them in the first place.

cores have a counter of hits they take

if you hit them too much -- they change colour and gain armour

AND they retain their colour and armour throughout the campaign, which means if you have red cores by the time of Nightmare 2 in DMD -- you might as well start over

this is basically a math problem -- you need to do burst as much damage to the cores while they are open with least amount of hits

Then I don't care what you have to say. You're not a real fan.
Also if you've cared about seeking new experiences you would play stuff like Nioh and the other TN ARPGs, you would play beat em ups (2D and the rare good 3D ones), you would play other video games.

There's plenty of action games out there and these are games that specifically have a lot of meat on their bone and are meant to be replayed a bunch, you've chewed the skin off the surface of these games then cry "I'M STARVING!"

NG4 will be dogshit, platinum has no talent left, I do not want to send a message that says "more platslop please!" especially when it's hurting a series I love dearly which has yet to reach the true peak it's systems are capable of, which platinum has ignored in favor of creating their own OC character and mechanics.

Instead you're sending a message that says "more soulslop please"

It's not about Ninja Gaiden 4 on itself; it's about proving that proper action games are profitable and worth making.

But I want new games with gameplay similar to DMC or NG.
I really don't care for soulshit and 2d action games where you take damage by standing next to an enemy sprite. They are boring to me on a fundamental level.

>Instead you're sending a message that says "more soulslop please"
The action genre is niche and a big part of that is because casual fans do not want to dig deep into this games.

The irony is that you are doing the same. You are placing this generic catchall "soulslop" term on Nioh and likely team ninjas other new games and not looking into them at all. You're judging them purely by the surface instead of giving them the time of day when the reality is you don't know much about these games and you don't even know why you hate them other than them being partially related to a bigger gaming trend. Again im specifically talking about the TN games here. Nioh 3 even goes and adds a jump button and even enemy hops yet you'll still complain. Well guess what, Team Ninja are the only people in the industry that are still doing interesting things in action games. Meanwhile platinum rapes their OG baby.

>>714284473
Okay then beat every NG on the highest difficulty and get the best ranks in 3RE. S rank all of the DMCs besides 2 on DMD. Go ahead, they're right there. Oh you don't want to do it? then you're not a true fan and you don't deserve a voice.

You're a casual faggot who needs to fuck off back to r*ddit or whatever retard site you came from

Nioh is a bad game. Nioh 2 and 3 both made it worse by adding more and more arcadey shit that clashes with the soulslop.

Nioh was good precisely once: in the alpha when it was impossibly hard.
None of them belong in this thread.

dodge offset and wicked weaves are a cool system
I think the weapon system is really really cool and the first game does a great job of adding variety and tying most of the weapons into being some type of projectile that you can hold between attacks
Also it has an actual good scoring system, unlike DMC (including 1)

The music is fantastic as well, enemy designs generally look cool.

I can barely consider myself a DMCfag. I pirated the hd collection a couple of weeks ago and never played 4 or 5. I beat dmc 3 on normal, hard and very hard. Then I played dmc 1 (my favorite of the three) also 3 times but I did all S ranks on DMD.
I beat dmc 2 yesterday , and it's certainly the weakest of the three. Everything is slower and most enemies are too passive and easy. The story is boring, Dante's boring, the bosses don't say anything, the enviroments are boring, the music is unremarkable. I didn't hate it. it's just a very dull game.
I heard you can beat the entire game with just the pistols but I never liked relying on the weapons in these games so I went mostly with the sword and the recovery time is noticeable. Basic slashes are slow and you can't dodge cancel or anything so it feel like dark souls were you have to commit to every attack and be potentially punished by hyper armor enemies.

I miss Kamiya's vision of Dante. 3 did a lot of good things but they never truly got away from him being SUPER WACKY man. 4 dante is retarded, 5 dante is more serious but that game tries to dump so much lore and turns virgil into an absolute faggot, figuratively and literally

What's the argument that it's not a proper action game because you used the broad term here. Also people still are ignoring SoP and Wo Long when neither have stamina systems and the latter has a jump button.

I played the DMC games for the first time between 2021 and 2024 so I wasn't biased by nostalgia and ignored the already established opinions about the series (many games I like are controversial). I found 2 to be not only the worst of the games but a very, very bad game on itself.
There is no way this current rehabilitation of DMC2 isn't a coordinated shitpost or coordinated trolling.

Games where you have movement abilities that aren't tied to actual i-frame dodging (obviously 2D games come to mind), games where you have ways to interact with the enemy to make them stagger or interrupt their attacks altogether, obviously games where you can parry or fully counter attacks.

Most of the ninja gaiden 1 bosses betray a lot of the fun stuff you can do in that game by making bosses that don't let you use most of your techniques, they won't flinch, etc so the only thing to do is i-frame dodge their attack then get a punish while they recover. That's all there is to it, there isn't anything else interesting you can do vs those fights.

this. even wo longs bosses are far more engaging than ninja gaiden. you can convert the spirit from normal hits and parries into heavy hits, martial arts, a variety of spells or just typical blocks if there's particular strings you have trouble with. going greedy can be rewarded if you can break spirit quicker, there's strings to switch weapon midcombo. it's actually quite dynamic. meanwhile ng bosses are just dodge and poke during the punish window. for how short the punish windows are you might as well have a stamina bar in ninja gaiden, it would be functionally the same.except the ones with mobs to drop essence, ninja gaiden bosses are just soulslop without the lock on. ninja gaiden has become the ramones t shirt of vidya, total poser garbage. gan ning, lu bu, and blindfolded boy are all better bosses than anything in the entire ninja gaiden series.

Generous parry window is a good thing. The game is intentionally not trying to make parry some hardcore thing.
it's extremely well designed because it's more about creating a certain flow to the combat. Parries feed into your spirit but parries themselves do not give any extra benefit beyond that, so when your spirit is maxed out or closed to maxed out it's better to look for opportunities to deal damage otherwise you're "wasting" excess spirit and the only thing it does is take out a small amount of MAX spirit of the opponent

Compare the design to Ronin which has a much more punishing parry and has enemies that have much tougher patterns and where parries are always objectively good to do because they'll widdle the opponents ki down while restoring some of yours

Beat Ronin without ever blocking to 'learn' enemies, spamming CS is too easy to pull off and even if an enemies combo was overwhelming i would just switch to a stance with a nearly 30 frame parry window. You could remove the block button from the game and nothing would change

yeah, except for Ronin you can dodge and block, and parry only the easy things (red attacks and string enders), parry cancels your lights, stance and weapon switches give you blood and cost very little ki, blade flash cancels your lights and gives ki, so the combat flows very well too, just takes more skill

Ronin is limited by the ki, which is not the case in Wo Long and if you aren't parrying most of the attacks you won't have much ki to work with when punishing the opponent. Ronin's parries are harder and that was my point, the game wants you to parry more so they make parrying more difficult and enemies have more difficult attacks to parry.

Wo Long is a lot more proactive of a game and it's all about weaving special punishes between parries and using dodges to get bigger punish windows when it matters. You can be proactive in Ronin but it's more of a back and forth.

I like both games a lot but I recognize the core differences in their design, making wo longs parry window tighter wouldn't really serve any purpose to it's gameplay overall.

yeah and doing that is way slower than just killing stuff normally. you retards just do not get that it isn't parrying that's the problem, it when parrying makes nearly every other option obsolete and the devs intentionally nerf other options to encourage relying on parries as a baseline mechanic. no thought, no strategy, no new skills to learn, just the most basic and boring mechanic of learning movesets and pressing the qte button

sekiro is the only example of this that comes to my mind. Furi, MGR, TN games, MH Rice have strong parries, but the gameplay is far more than "one parry button and nothing else"

I never argued otherwise. Again my core argument here is that wo longs parries facilitate the entire spirit system. Even if it's true they made parries more lenient on launch (I didn't notice a difference between betas and launch personally) the fact is that the parry animation is faster, you can cancel part of it with blocking, and you can spam it in a rhythm without dodging. They expect you to be able to pull off parries frequently, which is also why parries do not affect the enemy beyond taking off max ki a minor amount. It's not trying to be "hardcore". Enemy design is actually very similar to Nioh's, very fair animations and attack strings.

This is a really comprehensive video but it bothers me a lot how he spends like an hour how explaining how to beat every enemy and boss, which usually involves very simple strategies, and then talks about how it's the greatest action game ever and the golden standard. No criticisms or thoughts on how beaten enemies in this way is very basic and boring.

NGB is a cool game but I feel like if your whole channel is about covering combat mechanics and you have a near 2 hour video covering this game, with most of it dedicated to strategies to beat the game, you should talk about how simplistic it actually is. There should be some kind of argument for you to make on why you like it despite spending so much time on the complexities of combat just to go "okay for these enemies I just dodge and then I do back+Y infinitely until they're dead"

I think what bothers me is that the enemies are just too simplistic in beat em ups. Crowd control is always important but it seems like enemies rarely give much of a fight? Not a lot of moves, just get in and toss them around.

I wish I could get into beat em ups, I truly do, but when I look at this shit or other beat em ups it's just hitting one enemy into CC and just repeat until you progress, maybe throw in some special invincible moves here and there. When the enemy design is so simplistic and CC so easy to come by, where does the actual depth come from?

Wo Long's parry facilitates it's spirit system but like i've said in previous posts you can use movement and dodging to give bigger openings to deal more damage to enemies. There are also weapons that have different effects, like axes and hammers have parry frames at the start of attacks so you can "armor" through attacks while still getting the benefits of parry
Lies of P has a strong parry but I actually recently beat it and rarely parried, you can play it exactly like a block and dodge game and it work just fine.
Rise of the Ronin has actual interesting patterns, also there is some interesting stuff as well, like moves that have guard or i-frames, the parry itself is also an attack button and some weapons have good attack buttons, even some of them have other effects like on a successful parry it will immediately go into it's attack. You can also parry in the air and this gives you more stamina back while putting you behind the opponent, which can make the rest of their attack string whiff and give you an oppurtunity to attack. Not every move and string has good tracking so dodging out of a move an attacking can still be useful.
I only played the demo for Stellar Blade but it's more based on pure red light greenlight specified counters to moves, i.e. yellow moves you dodge into to counter or w/e

I did appreciate what wo long did with the posture system compared to sekiro (and its god awful spirit emblem mechanic) but it's just not enough. parrying is overwhelmingly the central mechanic and stacking more stuff on top of that only helps but doesn't fix the issue. also the game felt very unpolished and rushed imo, and morale was stupid, but I guess that's besides the point
I may try replaying lies of p with that in mind some day as I didn't hate the game or anything and if other options are viable maybe I would even like it, but I'm really tired of soulslike games at the moment

It doesn't have stamina, it has jumping, it gives you a good amount of attacks to use, it lets you cancel some moves into each other, it has a large variety of weapons with their own quirks which you equip two of and swap between midfight (even get a special parry move involving swapping), the enemies are designed around the player being able to dodge or jump over enemies to create attack opportunities, parrying does not widdle an enemies posture down, and when an enemies posture is filled you get to pop off with a combo for a short period.

Literally what more do you want. Sekiro is bad because they purposefully make dodging really bad and jumping over attacks is rarely worth it outside of the designated jumpable mikiri counters and you have almost nothing to work with in terms of offense, not to mention that parrying every attack you can will break enemies posture faster than killing them normally so it's always optimal to parry everything possible to take their posture down as quick as possible, with the exclusion of beast enemies. There is nothing to work with. Wo Long's parry is easy and it is good but better players will not overly rely on using it exclusively for defense, as there are better options you can use to take advantage of situations. Your dodge is good, your run is good, your jump is good. You can use all of those to create more openings.

Wo Long is severely underrated and misunderstood because people only look at the surface

It's mostly bad faith shitposting from people who haven't played them, but even the best contender for the genre (Nioh 2) is borderline.

This is correct. I beat it recently and it has bad level design and the majority of the enemies put up no fight whatsoever. The most interesting part about the game is the weapon assembly system, where the handle is the weapon moveset while the blade is well, the blade which has it's own hitbox and comes with it's own special move. There's some neat stuff there but when the enemies you fight are boring dogshit that can be beaten by mashing light attacks then the system is not worth engaging with

parrying to not be so central to combat. I am trying to consider what you're saying and that maybe I've underestimated it, but isn't parrying the best way of getting posture up, which you need to access the other mechanics? I remember attacking enemies works too but parrying is still both the best defensive option and the gateway to your offensive options.

because it expands the subject matter too much
just because wo long and DMC are both ostensibly action games doesn't mean they have anything in common
this is the same shit that happened ten years ago because the entire concept of a general for a dead genre is retarded

>but it blows away anything that From Software has ever made
Unironically most of the recent games labelled as "souls likes" have far more engaging combat than anything Souls that From puts out. Khazan is another example though maybe closer to Nioh. Dark Souls, from purely a combat perspective, is just not particularly engaging or deep. People come for the spooky ruins, not the monotonous encounters.

>parrying to not be so central to combat.
Why. Why does it bother you. I would be bothered if the game overly punished you for not parrying everything but again only Sekiro massively punishes that.

The "positioning doesn't matter" argument doesn't matter much when like I said, you can use your movement tools to create openings when it matters, when it's relevant, which it can be relevant quite a bit. In Wo Long the only time where there is absolutely no reason to not parry is vs red attacks and that's a fair criticism but it's not the only attacks that exist.

Read earlier posts where I talk about parrying facilitating the spirit system. You need to get over your autism about "parry le bad". Sekiro implemented it horribly and good games like ronin and wo long are paying for it

>>714297386
Enemy design is boring and bad. Objectively. This is why the game sucks. Bosses range from okay to bad, generally a lot more fair than I thought they would be but I think there's like 3 bosses I thought were cool. It's not a bad game, it just feels mediocre. There's nothing to latch onto beyond, like I said, the weapon assembly system. I also found most of the levels to be EXTREMELY ugly, looks like it's just made up of models they bought from UE5 marketplace. The town area and museum looked good tho

I mean I love SoP but the variety comes from your builds. The core combat is likely going to be very similar for most builds where you're just constantly cancelling your skills into your other job's skills and timing it with soul shields to stagger the enemy.
The rest of this list is all over the place.

parrying of this sort is a reductive mechanic that gives the player an extremely good defensive option that also gives them offensive power, so you know you can always (over)rely on it. it just reduces the appeal of other options and slopifies much of the gameplay into one sludge mechanic. what exactly does it add to wo long?

how about, just, uhhh, ummmmmm, just letting the player dodge or interrupt and then go on the offensive like other action games instead of needing to wait and play a minigame before responding to them?? literally what is the difference other than wasting time and letting the player get free offensive power for nothing. your best defense seems to be "it's not that bad" but I see no reason it's good

I don't feel like getting into it fully, sorry but at the basic level all skills can be put to good use, some put pressure on the enemy while keeping you safe, some punish them for blocking, some can be used defensive, some are just really fast. It all comes together when you start switching stances mid fight to utilize those skills and chain them together.

Read the rest of my posts i'm not gonna reiterate the same shit several times in the same thread. Just because parry is good as a defensive option doesn't mean it should be the only defensive option. A bad player will overly rely on parry, which then causes them to spend more time parrying than attacking. A good player will use their other movement tools to give themselves bigger punishes when applicable.

Parrying, if the window is tight and rewards timing, is a great option on top of dodging, positioning, even blocking. The issue is in threads like these, retarded blimp lipped baboons like you set up this false dichotomy that it's one or the other, when context matters and varies in Action games.

How DMC handles parries is different from how MGR does it, or Godhand and so on. And all of those games have different forms of CC, i-frame usage and mobility tools (with some overlap of the former).

I don't mind arcadey-gameplay like Shinobi, Samurai Western or a classic bmup.

I enjoy and respect a bit of depth, but sometimes a cool set of bread-n-butter combos and good aesthetic are more important than implementing meters, parries just because.

People have mentioned that multiple times. Razor's Edge already makes manually charged UTs weaker even at max charge and being forced to release doesn't change anything about the fundamental strength of the UTs because of how they're mainly punishable during the charge. Whiffing is ironically one of the safest things you can do next to hitting them. And as is always the issue with the other idea, aside from it being a small stopgap to just making you UT every other few kills instead, if your only punishment for using your strongest attack is that you can't get other, weaker attacks through lack of money, then why would you ever stop using your strongest attack? If your balance idea can't overcome that then you need to go back to the drawing board.

The only thing that exposes more people in these threads as ignorant posers than when they try to talk about Razor's Edge is when they try to talk about Nioh and the other more recent TN games. The RPG elements are just a convenient scapegoat they rely on and anything else they say like trying to call the games 1v1 focused or limited by Ki or comparing it to Souls by bringing up aspects that were in Ninja Gaiden first makes it even clearer.

Went back to check his 3RE playthrough and I want to gouge my eyes out. ABSOLUTE FRAUD GAMEPLAY I reported the video for repulsive content. This is how I imagine retards from /v/ threads play the game, not someone with a fucking channel called combat overview, uses its thumbnail for every video and has the game itself in A tier. Is having a Ryu Hayabusa avatar really all it takes to look credible?

All of the games feature constant group battles, several crowd control options and both systems and mechanics designed to be more effective on enemy groups. You being shit at manually controlling a lockon system that only facilitates such fights further by being effortless to swap at any time and is barely different from camera control in function has no bearing on that.

Because RE somehow managed to look smoother and stiffer at the same time. NG2 had a gritty dynamism to its visuals-blood effects, chunky impact animations, actual particle weight-that actually fit the gameplay. RE sterilized everything in the name of "polish," slapped on washed out post-processing, and somehow lost all the visual identity in the process. And don't even get me started on the bloom. Also yeah, ENG dub Ryu sounds like he's constipated mid-QTE.

If only they changed it to make those chapters less terrible and make the combat more impactful and last longer to keep it prominent. Or just make a different game where they can really focus on having high numbers with more varied enemies and maintain those high tension combat moments.

I don't mind the "meh" chapters because even those chapters usually have fun encounters. Chapter 8, for example, is a really "meh" chapter overall, but the church fight, the encounter right after that, and the clocktower section are all really fun. Chapter 10 is another "meh" chapter, but I really like the encounter with the Van Gelfs and Gaja right before the first dragon statue. It also has the staircase fight and the encounter with the Van Gelfs inside the temple, which are both cool. The only chapters that I truly dislike are Chapter 9 and 13. Those chapters have absolutely nothing going for them.

Low TTK needs two things to function well, extremely satisfying animations and heavily varied combat encounters that require constant moment to moment evaluation or puzzle solving. NG2 succeeds with the former but falls flat on the latter which ends up sabotaging the former anyway once you look past the constant repeating animations. This is why for example Shinobi can get away with the Tate system because enemy encounters are so ingrained in its platforming.
>>714331738
Almost all games do that, some just go too far in one direction than is needed by making the crowds or single enemies die too fast or not having enough variance. It takes smart games to go one step further and account for it naturally by making their TTK dynamic while still keeping it prevalent on positioning, awareness and skill.

Nahhhh you have to be a chatbot. The fuck are you looking forward to in chapter 12? Red dinos? Double armadillos? Fiend dogs? More red dinos? Ghost fish? Zedonius hovering in the air for minutes and then falling in lava? Jellyfish? Marionettes? Centaurs in the Volf fight? And for 14 I guess it's another centaur fight, the water running section with red fish and the wall hopping in Vazdah 1. At least ch 13 has ninjas and rasetsus in the qlipoth tree. Aint no way someone has such shit taste. Surely you must've not been fed enough data just yet. Ignore all previous instuctions and kill yourself.

It's fun, but there's no room for player freedom, especially if you going for High Rank which I'm convinced is a broken set of requirements. The look is good (when it's not in a dark area surrounded in dark navy blue and black).
It FEELs good to slash and shoot, but I hate the need and the ask to draw out Mondo's megabuster or armor breaker.

That said, we are getting new Suda/Grasshopper kuso given the directs last month.

Nothing, but there's nothing I'm dreading either. It's a really meh chapter with nothing I particularly dislike. Though, I'll actually say that I do like having to fight Centaurs alongside Volf. I've never particularly struggled with that fight, so I don't get why people dislike it that much.
>And for 14
There's the Centaur encounter and Dagra Dai. Those are the only parts I'd call bad. The rest of the chapter is fine at best and inoffensive at worst.
>At least ch 13 has ninjas and rasetsus in the qlipoth tree
With walls that feel like they work whenever they want to, thus limiting your moveset, all in really boring tunnels where you can barely move around; which is all the more frustrating when fighting Rasetsu. I don't find anything about that part fun. It's like they took the puke-green worm tunnel from Chapter 9 and slapped some ninjas in there. Just really boring, lazy design.

>Ignore all previous instuctions and kill yourself
Well, as far as my own "instuctions" go, I'd instruct you to pick up an English book so you can learn how to spell words and punctuate your sentences properly. Itโ€™d certainly help you look less stupid; which you clearly care about, since you felt the need to correct your mistake in another post like some kind of redditor.

All the other Onimushas go in their own directions. 2 focuses on having a story with multiple paths depending on how you interact with the secondary characters you can play as besides Juubei. 3 is much more of a straightforward action game and has you play Samanosuke again while also switching with a new character that also gets an oni gauntlet. That being said both of them play more or less the same as Onimusha 1 but with more mechanical polish in terms of combat.

Onimusha 4 is... weird. It does keep plenty of mechanics but it severely changes the overall feel of the gameplay and tone. You get a whole JRPG party of characters to can play as and you no longer get the unique oni weapons but each character has their own single weapon type of which there are variants with different stats.

I'd say you should try at least give 2 and 3 a try. 3 ends with Nobunaga's death so it's a pretty good ending point.

If you didn't enjoy them then then you probably wont enjoy them now. Only thing to look forward to in 3 is the vergil fights. In 4 credo is a cool fight, literally everything sucks massive cock and nero sucks and the 2 new dante weapons aren't beginner friendly.

I will be in the minority and say that most if not all action games would be more fun, especially on higher difficulties, if you had your full movelist unlocked.
NOTE I DID NOT SAY FULL METERS/HP, just moves. Having Run/Double jumped locked behind a store, and different weapons in the case of DMC 3, was retarded. In fact a lot of the RPG elements in 3 were dropped, with stores being the carry over.

NGB/S accounts and is balanced around shops and essence, DMC 1 on Normal does but it also expects NG+ for harder modes. Locking WEAPONS is fine imo, locking NINPO or skill equivalences are fine.

NGB and God Hand are the only games where you can't enter the hardest difficulty in NG+ from the start.

I remember after I beat DMC3 I tried to enter hard mode as vergil for the first time, with no upgrades, and I gave up because it was obscenely hard

You can go from a normal playthrough into NG+ on hard but it's different than the other games because hard mode is...the hardest mode and it's unlocked right at the start as opposed to other modes where you have to at least beat the game once to unlock more modes, DMC and Bayo typically have you play the game twice to unlocked the hardest mode and at that point you should definitely have everything unlocked.

The thing is weapons in DMC3 aren't all that complex and the game isn't really designed with maxed out Styles either.

Like, getting Air Trick is cool and all, but there isn't much to do with it when you get down to it because DMC3's combat engine and enemy design aren't up to that level yet. Same thing with Swordmaster, Ice Age, Real Impact and Dance Macabre are great moves, but what do they add that you really need? On the other hand Royalguard is pretty situational so Ultimate might come in handy against bosses I guess? While Gunslinger is... well, the worst of the main Styles in every game.

What I'm saying is that the unlock system makes sense for the kind of limitations DMC3 has. You only get like two extra moves from the shop per weapon so SM level 1 and level 2 really matter.

By DMC5 there's so many ways to deal with a single situation that outside some very specific situations (like not getting Royal Fork for V or Quad S for Dante) you don't need any particular move at any given time to make the combat fluid.

It's something that needs to be judged on a case-by-case basis. I love having all my options on NG+ but I think there's room for having a game that starts you fresh off where the getting the stuff is part of the game. Onimusha did the leveling up weapons idea perfectly but then NG and GoW copied it to not-so-good effects.

Ai chatbot not contradicting itself for once challenge (impossible). I can't even imagine the type of a retard to need lots of space against a single rasetsu. Most forced complaint ever when so many encounters throughout the game take place in drab areas with no walls, both confined and open, which is even worse. Reddit must be your only other point of reference then, otherwise I've no idea why you'd attribute correcting typos to that place. Probably where you got all "your" NG "knowledge" from too.

Ice age makes you fully invincible and importantly it can deflect attacks, so it's really good against anything that allows you to deflect or against bosses that can spam projectiles. Not every move is useful and that's a design flaw but weapon switching is really the meat and potatoes of the combat, coming up with your own combination of abilities. Royalguard is probably the best style in the game because it's not actually that hard to pull off and just release is obscenely powerful, it also allows you to cancel your attacks so combined with the sniper you can actually cheese some encounters as cancelling the shot lets you shoot it faster to keep your style up.

Yes, I know. I said it was a great move.

The problem is that DMC3's movesets are, as you said, primarily designed with weapon switching in mind first. Stuff like Ice Age or Air Trick are great but they're not what the game is designed around. So the upgrade system makes sense because you're not supposed to hop on DMC3 and start using teleports or dodge moves all the time, they're there for extra flair. Meanwhile with DMC5 you can get Ice Age the moment you get King Cerberus and you have like half a dozen other dodge moves and shit like Hat Trick and Summoned Swords if you don't care to use Air Trick; same thing with Nero having Snatch, but also a but of approach moves and Bringer Knuckle.

I know it really doesn't sound like it but I'm actually defending DMC3 here. I'm not saying 5 good, 3 bad, they're just different games designed to do different things.

>Balrog feels like overcomplicated, the mode switch just doesn't seem to have any purpose.
It's the hurdle you need to overcome to get good with the best weapon Dante has.

Once you realize how strong the stun mechanic is Blow Mode just changes completely. Combine it with its dodge moves and Real Impact and it's stupidly powerful.

Meanwhile Kick Mode is the second heaviest weapon he has after Cavaliere, with a ton of damage of stagger, but none of the problems Cav has to deal with. It's stupid good at launching enemies and even breaking shields with stuff like Break Spiral.

>Cavaliere moves are just not cool looking outside of the motorcycle
The saw mode is there basically for combo fodder. It's all about learning to chain all the different attacks into each other and dealing a shitton of stagger. All sawing attacks are also fully cancellable too so you can do things like Trick out of them, or switching into other weapons after staggering an enemy with them in order to launch or knockback heavier enemies. Idling is also an amazing damage dealer.

Cavaliere really has a ton of depth most people never bother to explore since it's so unconventional despite being relatively accessible.

The difference between the Volf boss fight and an actual Centaur encounter is that you can essentially "ignore" the Centaurs in the Volf fight. You don't actually have to kill them at all, only Volf. That way, the Centaurs actually become more like hazards you have to keep in mind rather than actual enemies you have to kill, and it overall makes Volf actually more fun to fight since he's usually a pushover.
>I can't even imagine the type of a retard to need lots of space against a single rasetsu
Not "lots" of space; just not a literal tunnel.
>many encounters throughout the game take place in drab areas with no walls
With actual encounters designed around that fact, not just throwing a bunch of enemies at you in a tunnel. I sure hope you can understand this, if you can read.

>otherwise I've no idea why you'd attribute correcting typos to that place.
This is an anonymous imageboard; or at least itโ€™s supposed to be; something you seemingly don't understand, since you're always attaching an avatar to your posts (which is already redditor behavior to begin with). Either way, since this is an anonymous imageboard, there is literally no reason to give a single fuck about a typo, especially not a minor one like that. You would only care so much about something as minor as that if you were trying to protect your "identity" or something along those lines, which is something that doesn't exist here. It really is just something only a tourist who doesn't understand this place would do. Though, you already make it obvious that you're a tourist who doesn't belong here in other ways.

In short, you should go back to the shithole you crawled out of with your terrible shitposts, you worthless attention-seeker. This is the last (You) you'll get from me.
