Devil May Cry 4 Demo Impressions
I’ll start off by letting you know I’ve not played the Devil May Cry series before. I’ve seen it, but never played it. I played through both parts of the Devil May Cry 4 demo today and I think I’m missing why so many people lave the DMC series. I’ll admit that the graphics are gorgeous, and there are some really cool combos. Yet, I could a few things confusing/annoying. First, why do I have a gun that does hardly any damage? I don’t see the point in having a gun when using it is pretty much worthless. Second, why are there cutscenes every minute? I get that the look beautiful, but I don’t need them every time I enter a new room. Also, what is with the fixed camera location? It is not really a big deal, but it is the first game I’ve played in a long time where you can’t control the camera or it doesn’t follow you around automatically. It was not a bad, but it was different than what I’m use to. Another thing, I don’t see why I have to hit the jump button (A) to go through doors. And why don’t the doors open? Why does the game just pause and move me into the new area? Maybe that is how the DMC series has always been and I just don’t know. In anyone has played previous DMC games please let me know your impressions. The fighting was ok. I figured out a few cool combos and I’m guessing there are more I did not figure out, but even with the combos I was getting a little tired of hacking up enemies with the same attacks. Will the full game have more attack options that unlock?
Yes, that was a rambling mess, but I just finished with the demo and I wanted to get it out before I forget. If you’re more familiar with the DMC series can you please fill me in. The game is beautiful and I’m thinking of checking out the full game when it is out, but I’d like to know what I’m getting into first.
