what was capcom thinking. Funny

Bnet3436350d ago

It's not funny, it's the truth.

wageslave6350d ago

Is your PS3 emitting a funny distortion field?

B1tches love Sanskrit <- hillarious.

You need to chill out and get a sense of humour.

Admit it, its quite funny that you have to wait 20 minutes to play a game that is EXACTLY the same on another console (except for the lack of vibration in PS3 controllers).

phalanges6351d ago

but I also don't have to wait long on each loading site. You take the good with the bad.

My dual Shock 3 controller rumbles for the DMC4 demo.

I could care less about the game and won't buy it, but if I did it would have rumble.

MikeGdaGod6350d ago (Edited 6350d ago )

and when i bought the game, i put it in the system, checked N4G, then played the game.

i didn't miss the 20 mins

EDIT: i love that people disagree with my DS3 doing what its suppose to do and me not missing 20 mins. i guess they find it hard to believe that when someone comes home after a busy day, they don't jump right on video games.

thankyou for reading my mind and knowing what i do with my time better than i do. appreciate it

DJ6350d ago

And my Dual Shock 3 is rumbling, so I don't know what that guy is talking about...

Seraphim6350d ago

actually my Dualshock 3 works quite nicely w/ DMC 4 as well. As does it with Unreal 3 and many other games...

I've yet to play the 360 version [probably just rent it] so I don't have anything to compare my PS3 version to. But for the most part the load times are excellent. Anywhere from instant to a couple seconds tops for actual gameplay loads. To me, if having to endure 20 minutes for an install ensures I don't have to wait for load times in game then I'm all for it. I'd rather have an initial wait than have to wait for load times in game. Granted the 20 minutes you just spent probably broke you even once all the load times from the other version are added up and compared, but I'm all for playing my game quickly when I'm actually playing. Not having to wait for load times, and the quicker the load times the better.

& the 20 minutes was actually a good thing. I forget to toss the game in while I was putting together my new sleep number bed, but in general it was a busy day. While having to wait for the install I was able to pay my credit card bill, grab a soda, and fill out the paperwork to change my direct deposit. :P It kinda worked to my benefit.

ry-guy6350d ago

I have it for the 360 and the load times are either instantaneous or very brief, just the same as the PS3's version. There is no real tangible benefit for the install on the PS3.

Its 20 minutes... you really have a sad life if you cant find something to do for 20 minutes...

hey maybe a few of you could sign up for Match.com or something, you know, try and find a life outside of your console...

"20 minutes,,, aarrggghhh this is an outrage, i cant wait that long...." tw@ts...

ruibing6350d ago

Hmm, my recommendations for ways to fill up 20 mins for these two weeks:

1) Get a gift for your loved ones and make plans as Valentine's day is coming.
2) Go for a jog in the crisp winter season.
3) Take a bath (way too many people think a shower every other day is enough).
4) Watch some TV, the new season of Jericho is starting soon.

Exhaust6350d ago (Edited 6350d ago )

Do you not get the point that the problem is the install being FORCED? How do you not comprehend that forcing this is retarded on a console?

Having this as an OPTION would have been a bonus for the PS3 version but instead they make it mandatory. What if you have a 40GB PS3 and filled it up with videos and you don't have a full 5GB of space? What you going to say those people are wastes of life to because they don't want to delete tons of data before they can play a freaking game?

Fanboys in general are stupid but it seems on this site anyway the PS3 fanboys are the worst. You guys drink so much Sony koolaid you can't even see reality. I'm not even talking crap about the PS3. I like mine but this is stupid.

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel173d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits73d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire9573d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

lellkay74d ago

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq174d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter73d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name73d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

VersusDMC435d ago

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC435d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos434d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga434d ago

Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5

2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me

Friendlygamer435d ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey602435d ago (Edited 435d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya435d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde435d ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

SeTTriP435d ago

This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.

Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.

Aaroncls7512d ago

Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.

Sephiroushin511d ago (Edited 511d ago )

DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.
