So I'm playing it through for the first time. And I was excited, because I loved DMC3 (not that pussy Special Edition shit) as it was my first DMC game, and I loved DMC4.
I thought DMC3 was definitely one of the top 10 ps2 games the system had to offer. Perfect difficulty. Perfect camera. Perfect controls, music, story, cutscenes... everything.
I got Devil May Cry and was excited. Mainly because of all the things I've been hearing about it, saying it's a great game, and all that.
Okay, I get that it's the first game, and it came out pretty early. But come on, people actually think this is good? For the last 3 days now, I've been stuck on the first boss. That lava spider. I just couldn't beat him. The camera is fucking HORRID! I could have the boss straight in my view, center of the screen, I hide behind a pillar, and all of a sudden, the camera turns to face me. The controls are.. alright, but I don't remember DMC3 being this screwed up. I also love how the game didn't bother to mention "Oh yeah, press L1 to go into Devil Trigger". It also didn't even bother to say "Yeah, you can charge up your shots by holding down the Square button. But sometimes it doesn't work, so have fun with that. Treat it as a mini-game."
So I finally figured out that I could go into Devil Trigger, and I was ecstatic. Why? Because this whole time, because the game failed to mention L1, I've been keeping my distance from the boss, and just shooting at him. It wasn't until a few minutes ago that I figured out I could charge shots. I was still getting my ass kicked. Then I figured out the DT, thinking I have a much better chance. So I picked up the controller again (and I get into my games when I'm determined), and said "alright fuck face, lets go, you're going down."
Only problem. THE FUCKING CONTROLS! For those of you who haven't played the game, the boss has this one move where he shoves his head (I think, could be his tail, I can't look) into the ground, and pillars of lava come up right where you're standing. 2 for each second or so, giving a total of six. Now this boss is the first boss, but fuck sakes do they have to make it take off so much health?! So I dodge roll to the side to give me a better chance of not being hit. Then for some reason, the camera decides to move, and it completely goofs me up and I don't realize that I'm close to a barrier, bam, I get hit.
So next try, I stay out in the open, and going back and forth so I don't hit any barriers. This time the boss shoots like a fireball at me. I hold R1, and hit to the right and hit X for a dodge roll. Didn't work. Why? Because the controls decided to be dickholes and not work. And I don't want to press too hard on the controller either. Mainly because I shouldn't have to, but also because I don't want to wear the buttons down.
So someone, please explain to me, how the fuck this game received positive reception? I honestly can't imagine DMC2 being worse than this.
