good game
>>12062652Yeah I like it better than 3 because its less gay and more gothic

>>12062652i know someone born in 2007 who said that game isn't worth playing under any circumstances and that everyone should skip straight to the third one. said person also wrote off the entire NES library after trying ghosts n goblins once and there's a decent chance they're reading this thread. hello if you are
>>12062652I love this game, but why exactly was it considered the hardest game of all time when it came out? I'm not even good at hack'n'slash games (to illustrate how bad I am, the only other hack'n'slash I've beaten is HiFi RUSH, and I bruteforced my way to the final boss of Metal Gear Rising without learning how to party; still haven't beaten Armstrong to this day) but I still cleared most DMC1 missions without dying on my first try, and even S ranked the final boss. There's countless PS1 games that are way harder, so what gives?
>>12062743I'm guessing players either got filtered by the first three missions and the offer to go down to Easy Automatic, or they got wrecked by the amped up damage on Hard and DMD.
>>12062743Lots of the enemies will wreck your shit fast if you aren't responding properly but if you already know how to beat them they go down pretty easy

Capcom was just lucky PS2 was a DVD player and it was there with it.
It's better than 3 but Bayonetta solved the genre.
>>12062652I rented this game as a kid and hated it because I didn't understand how to play it at all. I couldn't get past Phantom in mission 3.Finally trying it again as an adult, I liked it a lot. Definitely weird and imperfect.
>>12062743>There's countless PS1 games that are way harderName them.A game isn't easy just because you managed to beat it. A large part of it is just that a game you enjoy playing, learning, and mastering rarely feels difficult. Most people find DMC frustrating and frankly boring and as a result have no desire to learn its mechanics because it's a shit game.
