    360 controller makes it easier, but it wasn't that hard in 3, either. It's not like its any more contorted than anything you're expected to do in a Metal Gear game. Hold X/Square down with your thumb, but slid far enough over that you can feel the side of Y/Triangle, then roll your thumb sideways to push it.
    Well, I haven't played DMC4, but I always thought playing, say, Gunslinger in DMC3 with the default configuration was such a pain the ass. I mean, I could probably learn it, but it seems so needlessly complicated. Particularly while doing quick jump cancels.
    Why would you need to jump cancel in gunslinger? Canceling is really only helpful for melee skills.

    Someone here hasn't done enough shotgun JCing. (though to be fair, you're not charging during it per se)

    Charging that giant multi hit on one person gun while smashing faces in is like blue rose 3 charging times ten million in terms of damage.

    I'm getting this game. Sometime. I think it has potential. Of course, if I'm wrong, you can never prove I typed this. I will claim hackers. Hackers who want to throw a pall of doubt on me. Crazy hackers.

    But it looks like it'll be crazy with some cringe 'why-did-I-even-crack-a-smile-at-that' moments and tons of bodies to shoot. With several guns. I've thought that we only know what we've seen here, so who -knows- the kinda crazy shit that might get included in the final release. Hair is apparently very versatile in this game. :winky:

    Also, I may not be able to express this in the way I'm intending, but was I the only person who got a sort of Hellsing vibe? As in crazy ass movements, proportions and poses? First thing I thought of while I saw the second trailer with the way she moved was the first episode when Alucard first does his thang and just the way he's composed. I may be completely out of my mind and my associations may be out of whack. But maybe somebody will validate me on this. Or I will get booed.

    Yes.

    It is a game in which the main character uses her hair for her special moves, clothing, and guns, of which she simultaneously uses four. And you are thinking "Hm, crotch shots may be going too far"?!

    As far as I'm concerned, there should be more crotch shots. Just to make people like him uncomfortable and keep them far away from our game.

    Only for that reason.

    I had a suggestion that would keep people away from the game all typed out, however when I went to push submit, my fingers quivered. I had typed out something so horribly wrong that i just could not expose it to the innocence of these intertubes.

    the NG games are great games, but they aren't as good (or well made) as DMC 1 and 3. (4 to a lesser extent).

    You've given a good description--however, your experience is not necessarily the universal one. Mine seems to be spending a lot more time on the offensive by comparison--I easily spend twice (sometime three times, depending on the difficult) as much of my time block and dodging, combined, actually attacking (I'm a fan of abusing the Flyling Swallow).

    My DMC experience isn't as extensive, but it mostly consists of jump, shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot. Jump back, shoot, shoot, shoot. I acquired that in 3 and it led up to 4. Thus, as me and my friends (who mostly run sub-missions, since those are faster), agree--DMC is good, but the gameplay isn't as varied (or visceral) as NG or the sequel.

    (I'm not going to delve in DMC4, since once I realized, "Crap, I've been here before and fought these exact same bosses, and it wasn't fun the first time" basically makes up the entire singleplayer element, my judgement was inevitably tainted. It does it worse than NG2, which is saying a lot.)

    What I'm trying to say is that a close examination like this can vary a lot because in these sort of games, you find something that works and--since there's no multilayer element--you tend to stick with it. Bayonetta will probably be the same.

    Though they're also throwing in the whole 'Kinky S&M Librarian with Freaky Hair Kung-Fu and Gun Heels'....which I don't know what to make of. We probably shouldn't assume just because it has some big names behind it that it ABSOLUTELY MUST BE GOOD SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT YOUR RESERVATIONS ASSHOLE, but nor do we know it'll suck. I'm going for somewhere between Ninja Blade Mediocre and a surprisingly good title. I'm sure there won't be as many crotch shots in the final product. Probably.

    EDIT: Oh, and that narrator guy needs to freaking die. We can read, right guys?

    Okay, so I can appreciate a couple things about this. First, knowing how much it'll be like the sort of DMC kind of gameplay is a plus for me. I can dig that kind of thing.

    Second, they definitely cut back on the sex appeal in this trailer. It seemed like they wanted to give a fair handshake to plot this time.

    Jazz works as a "pump up" music. It worked in Cowboy Bebop.

    I dunno if I'd classify that music as jazz though. It really had a Castlevania kind of vibe to it. It fits a bit.

    But honestly, I can see them using this shit for advertising.. but I bet there is a strong game in there. You can't have this many weird and fucked up features without building a solid game, you just cant.

    I've never been a big fan of DMC or its creator (seriously? You're the only one who can take action games in a new direction? So I guess God Hand and Ninja Gaiden never existed then, huh?) but I'll still probably end up buying this anyway since it's a Platinum Studios game.
