darkmage479 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 very good review, although daeval is right about the 'fanboy bus'. Some people buy the game just because it looks cool, and then put it down when they can't handle the difficulty. However, as such Agozer was right in including the game's style as an important part of the review. However, i will knock the gameplay for being a little unbalanced, and the difficulty is unbelievably frustrating. (Note - i finished DMC 1 on Dante Must Die Mode, so i'm no ass). On DMC3 Normal I died once on the Hell Vanguard (level 2), six times on Cerebrus, twice in mission 4 (most notably in the Chamber of sins when I accidentally point-blank shotgunned a bomb enemy) and more than ten times on mission 5. I'm currently on level 8 (just unlocked Devil Trigger). I've screamed in frustration at being gang-banged by seven demons, or to be comboing one only to have another teleport across the room to attack me from behind. Also, being only able to use some special moves at any given time (only able to switch styles between missions) makes me feel like i'm being shortchanged. DMC 1 is still the best, but DMC3 is still very good, as you could hopefully tell from this very good review.
Agozer Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 I'm at Mission 18 or some such on Easy. A point of advice for you: This mission will make you tear your heart out. Vergil 2 battle is also quite difficult. And yes, even on Easy, the game is frustrating at times. Gameplay masochists will find the Hell they want, but casual gamers should avoid it if they can't handle the difficulty. btw, what was Mission 5 about?
darkmage479 Posted June 16, 2005 Posted June 16, 2005 Yup, i'm one of those masochists, playing on normal the first time and not easy... Mission 5 is where you acquire Agni and Rudra. Short stage, hard boss, made harder by a bad camera in the boss room. First couple of times i couldn't kill either, so i saved enough orbs to buy 3 vital stars. Then i focused solely on the Wind guy, only to immediately get pwned when the other demon used both swords on me. After that it was just a few tries to earn the Air Hike (not at level 2 trickster yet) and to refine my dodging skills. right now i'm stuck on the Leviathan's heart, my damn orbs keep getting stolen as i'm slowly encircled by around 15 scythe demons. heheheh... i remember with DMC 1, i bought it at the same time as Tony Hawk 3 - got to Phantom in 10 mins, spent 2 hours trying to kill the biatch, put Tony 3 in and forgot about it for 1 month, i was so fed up. Glad i finished it though, especially on DMD mode after which you unlock Unlimited Devil Trigger.
Agozer Posted June 16, 2005 Author Posted June 16, 2005 I'm only playing on Easy because I want to unlock all missions on all difficulty levels. About Leviathan, concentrate on the organ that steals your Orbs. once it's down and out, concentrate on the main part, and then start dodging the lasers it shoots. (Griffon homage anyone?) Leave the Hells alone, unless they really become a problem. You'll run into some new monsters in the next mission, which are also hard in groups. Yeah, Agni & Rudra were hard, but I managed to finish the remaining twin quite easily. The best tactic would be to attack them equally, then finish of the first one and immediately after, the other. Agni & Rugra is by far the best Swordmaster weapon, although other Devil Arms are good too. Stuff costs an arm and a leg (or two).
