i would probably put Heavenly Sword and Enslave along the sides with Prince of Persia, and the likes.

i think Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and Ninja Gaiden are what we call “Free Flow” games where you could do tons of combo’s and cancel to special moves like a fighting game but a more Free type of play.

and yeah Dynasty Warrios and the Musou games are hack and slash games.

i do like Hit and Evade games like Shinobi/Kunouichi PS2, Onimusha Series and Demon/Dark Souls.

you for got Fist of the North Star 2!!!!!!!

ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!!!!!!

I disagree the looks where just the initial reaction. It’s about the Original Dante’s personality that din’t portrayed weakness. Only Ryudo and Yuri Hyuga compare to this type of personality .

Same here buddy. I apologize about that type of stuff in advance, it’s something we continually deal with.

I do my best to observe all the comments, I like to let people express themselves, but sometimes I do have to step in and edit a comment/post a warning. Thanks for your patience with this.

I understand you disagree, but let’s try and play nice. This applies to both of you.

And please, let’s leave politics out of this. 

Oh, dear. Why people get this upset over a goddamn game is beyond me. Mind you, this is directed to all of you. Why do you act like your own opinion is the absolute truth which no one can disagree with or otherwise they are clueless and ignorant? 
Now, I prefer the Ninja Gaiden series over DMC but I never insult, or at least I never try to insult someone who disagrees with me. I would be interested in discussing the matter and sharing my own opinions. Differing opinions are always good. It would, after all, be pretty dull if everyone agreed with one another. But when it gets to this point it’s not enjoyable in the least.

I’d love to see the day when the whole userbase of Gematsu can discuss politely without insulting, trolling and having a raging flamewar going on. 

If Capcom was making decisions based on peoples reactions then how the bloody feck does DMC exist in this current form when all you self entitled children have done nothing but cry and throw tantrums across the internet including but not limited to death threats on the developers since DmC was first announced.

That is probably the best and healthiest way to look at it.
And it’s certainly good to know that there will be a lot of gaming possibilities in 2013 as well. ;)

You just compared Heavenly Sword and Enslaved to Ninja Gaiden. O_o

First, Heavenly Swords gameplay has a bit in common with God of war and neither are anything close to just being a hack and slash like the soulless, lifeless, repetitive, storyless filth that is the Ninja Gaiden series.

Truly you must know that there are far more people who dislike NG than like it?
Yet you still compare every game where someone swings a weapon at someone else to what Tecmo and Team Ninja cant even do well themselves.

And now onto Enslaved. A game that is as much hack and slash wannabe as Heavy Rain. I mean, if you think for one second that Enslaved was meant to be anything other than a scifi story based post appocalyptic action adventure with platforming elements you sir either have no idea what you are talking about, never played Enslaved and or both.

I’m pretty ambivalent to the game myself. I wanted something else, but I don’t really hate what it actually is.

I got other games I’m looking forward to for debut releases. By the time I’m done with those, THEN I’ll look at this one, which hopefully will be cheaper too, lol

Yes, I too was once one of those people who screamed betrayal when this was announced, but after multiple watchings of the trailers and gameplays.

It honestly isn’t bad, Sure Capcom hasn’t been doing the best as of late (I’ve said that more than once..)

But hey, at least they’re keeping it very close to home in this one; even IF it has a different look.

They only fast thing about the game is how fast the enemies die and how fast the style meter goes up. 

You don’t have the right to get an “S” unless your thumb is sore.

Capcom’s drive from the beginning was purely financial and not creative. They admittedly went for the huge God of war crowd.I doubt they ever had a vision to begin with since they never even knew if this was going to be a prequel, spin off, re boot or whatever, they have been driven by people’s reaction and trying to please as many as possible.

You are a little more honest about what this game is trying to be than what they (NT, Capcom) want us to believe it will be. How this game “feels” is just vague PR nonsense. They are turning a fast paced arcade action game into a platforming one. I dragged together DMC, Ninja Gaiden, Heavenly Sword etc. to show how little experience NT has in this particular gameplay field and how demanding it actually is.

I am just trying to reply to all these people who are simply happy that this fella can swing a weapon and call it DMC worthy. I mean with DmC the expectations have been lowered so dramatically, some people are  are prepared to clap for the new Ninja gaiden 3 and are just begging for any excuse to prove old school fans wrong.

And with Metal Gear Rising I don’t hope it will be good, I know it will be good.

I base my optimism on the gameplay footage, which none of you seem to be able to see. I never said anything about the visuals.

I’m actually going to wait for the PC version of DmC to come out, just because it will support 60 fps. Just my personal preference. Even though I don’t think this is a true fast paced action game, it’s no Bayonetta. I do think I’d enjoy it more running at 60fps.
