>Tropical Freeze gets better scores when they add a super easy mode
What did game journalists mean by this
Sebastian Watson
Easton Gonzalez
The entirety of Risk of Rain.
Brandon Ramirez
Sebastian Morgan
Tank controls
Julian Hernandez
The difficulty screen is the first journalist filter.
If they read the explanation for every difficulty mode and don't choose "Hardcore", their opinion literally doesn't matter.
Ryder Morgan
Anyone getting annoyed how nu-Yea Forums keeps felattinf mr.x? Hes neither hard nor spooky, yet Yea Forums likes to pretend hes some threat to be worried about
Christian Evans
Aiden Sanchez
Literally every game in hard, most games in normal, some games in easy and this They don't play videogames, they are random bloggers getting hired to say that the things you like are shit.
Charles Lewis
Aaron Torres
saved
Elijah Rodriguez
redpill me on this
i havent played w101
fucking kamija is gonna make me buy a fucking wiiu for it isnt he
Logan Roberts
I remember they didn't like dmc5 so far cause the music doesn't pick up until you get a higher style level
Landon Hernandez
It's Kamiya, and they allegedly got it to work on the Switch.
Aiden Phillips
The "ability" he's speaking of is Unite Gut, which acts as a block that can also counter any blunt attacks and repel blunt projectiles, it's basically fucking invaluable and one of the abilities you should unlock ASAP.
Jack Nguyen
hes neither hard nor spooky no, he is just cool and Yea Forums loves him because he shits on casuals and journalists

DMC was the original game journo filter.
Don't forget how they hailed DmC as being the next big step in the series and how the original games were too hardcore and unforgiving; shitting on fans who didn't like the change.
Then they started shit flinging when no one bought it and were upset about it, getting even MORE upset when they announced the DmC universe was shit-canned and they were going back to the original.
And to top it all off, they ended it with this.
Isaiah Barnes
on one side i cant wait for the keks derived from journalist butthurt over DMC5 being for the fans and not DmC2 like they wanted
on the other however im kind of worried that the critical reception to it will put future itsuno games in trouble
Thomas Carter
Didn't stop every Resident Evil game before 5 to get a insanely high mean score. Hell Code Veronica has a 97 for fuck sakes
Robert Perry
negro is correct
if thats true then i might as well end up buying a nintendo basedbox then, is bayo1 download only or does it come on a cart like bayo2?
Elijah Thompson
Anyone got that cuphead vid?
Landon Walker
None of the journos reviewing the game had issue with him though?
Nathan Allen
Read the thread
Gavin Mitchell
What is that symbol on top of lean's head? I've seen it on some screenshots here but never in-game
Josiah Richardson
It comes with Bayo 2, but only as a download yeah.
Connor Stewart
it isn't in the thread.
Zachary Peterson
user everyone loves DMC5. The DmC journos are actually in the minority now. Devil Trigger and the realistic grafix unironically saved the game. Without that nobody would have cared and it wouldn't have raised so many eyebrows. It's a sad truth but the only thing that can sell a AAA game nowadays are grafix or cinematic spectacle.
Christian Nguyen
Blue herbs do more than cure poison now, they make you poison proof for a time as well as make small minor scrapes do no damage.
Ethan Morales
Matthew Gutierrez
>no version where he has the Anti-tank rocket launcher
Its shit
Blake Hall
Oh I see, thanks
Parker Gonzalez
My bad, thought had posted it but it's a shitty jpg
Parker Powell
Jesus fucking christ nigger what were they doing
Blake Smith
Pretty much the same thing they did with Cuphead and Celeste, except it didn't get as much attention.
The absolute funniest thing about Furi is that the devs left a message saying the highest difficulty is the way the game is meant to be played. This message appears in the credits after you finish most of the game on said difficulty, so none of the people who would otherwise screech autistically about its presence will ever know it was there.
Oliver Campbell
thanks

A serious answer would be that there are a lot of failures that graduated with a journalism degree with nothing to do with it. Videogames are more or less one of the few markets they can get into.
So you get a ton of people that never played games in their life reviewing games and complaining about not being able to do basic things and praising """games""" where all you do is walk around.
See the polygon doom review.
Christopher Harris
Journos loved RE2 remake though
David Harris
Look at that polygon vid of nudoom and then try and find another guy (actually could be the same guy) playing cuphead then you'll see the reason.
I'm actually surprised most reviewers rated sunset overdrive highly cos that requires quite a few button presses to move normally.
Grayson White
>DMC was the original game journo filter
Reminder that DMC has a very high Metracritic score
Charles Barnes
Entire game
Ian Baker
Except RE games were historically highly rated by journalists.
Doesn't stop tank controls from being horrible simplified shit for 33mhz machines
Jacob Fisher
>Game is too frustrating on purpose
Rain World is close to art but it dug its own grave and could have sold 10x. In the end making a statement about brutality of nature was pointless and limited the reach of a beautiful work.
Ryan Torres
That and the fact that Capcom is right now on a roll might just give DMC 5 a good amount of buyers keeping the series alive and it might also show that Itsuno has a better idea of what the people want than Ninja Theory back then with "Dontes fuck you simulator".
Luis Stewart
I hate to tell you this because a lot of you around here have a very unrealistic perspective on this industry but DMC is going to completely crater sales wise
Jason Sullivan
What is this meme called? I keep seeing similiar pictures but with different characters.
Carter Hughes
And why will it crater?
Juan Smith
thats actually really cool, i always thought blue herbs needed a little more spice to them
Christian Hernandez
It's a panel with Jotaro vs Dio.
Gavin Powell
It's from jojo
Dominic Gonzalez
Games like this have aged out, it's similar to something like Quake champions, it's not a mainline genre anymore and people just don't care
Luis Wood
jojo
Sebastian Thompson
I think YOU are underestimating just how hyped this game is, not just for DMCfags but normies alike. Hell Devil Trigger alone got my normie friend into the series and he's already preordered 5.
Mason Brown
That is true, however if you change the difficulty mid-playthrough to easy the game warns you you won't enjoy it as much, which triggered a few mouthbreathing journos.
Gabriel Bennett
any of these
Jack Torres
Did we get a polygon gameplay video from this game?
Lincoln Thompson
I see shit like this and the polygon DOOM2016 footage and i would almost swear to go they're playing ineptly on purpose in an attempt to smear games that use traditional mechanics
Lucas Carter
Processing power has nothing to do with tank controls. They're the only way to properly control games with fixed camera angles you dumb zoom-zoom retard.
Ian Powell
this is so perfect
Robert Collins
Of course it does. The camera angles were fixed due to the system being weak
RE came out at approximately the same time as Quake 1 and was just never a relevant video game among people who weren't absolute plebeians
Angel Taylor
Now someone post the DOOM one, that's the real rage inducing one.
Noah Mitchell
Every journalists played this game wrong.
Nicholas White
>they even gave him a jumpstart.
Xavier Reed
Shhh he's super le hardcore git gud scrub
Noah Hill
Only when combined with other ones they provide additional defense.Based misinformating user
Jack Parker
on top of that, Devil Trigger Yea Forums sings surpassed all other Yea Forums sings and it wasn't even made by the Yea Forums musicals
Christian Parker
Ian Diaz
>The camera angles were fixed due to the system being weak
Incorrect, Dino Crisis 1, Silent Hill and Code Veronica had fully rendered environments and still used fixed camera angles. It was a stylistic choice and not a technological one.
Smelly, dumb zoomer scum.
James Young
based dmcbros
nothing can stop us, all the years of silence and suffering have made us too strong to defeat now that the day is coming closer
Samuel Flores
I mean, sure, the general gameplay is about surviving everything that nature can throw at you but it becomes more than that the further you go. It's not a perfect game, but I'd still call it a successful one.
Aaron Torres
Devil trigger is a shit song, though
Robert Williams
I'm sorry for your taste, user. It's terminal
Gabriel Reyes
Dino crisis was full 3d with camera angles faggot
Owen Lewis
Short answer? Games journos are bad at a lot of games.
Long answer? Publishers generally don't choose someone with the most experience in a given genre to do reviews, they usually just pick whoever's available. Journalists PREFER to review games from genres they actually like, but it's not at all a guarantee. What ends up happening is that a journo who grew up playing Populous and Baldies is set up to review a game made for Mario fans.
Doesn't excuse them being SHIT at the games, but it does helpfully explain why they don't quite get mechanics that veterans of the genre should understand automatically.
Matthew Flores
ninja gaiden is coming back next r-right?
Caleb Price
>Hell Devil Trigger alone got my normie friend into the series and he's already preordered 5.
Literally the same thing is happening to me. I just started 3 after beating 1 and holy shit this series is amazing.
Fuck 2 though I'm going to pretend it doesn't exist.
Aaron Lee
Honestly, with how good nioh was and the prospect of nioh2 being even better, id say maybe team ninja are in a redemption arc of their own
if nioh2 does well and dmc5 shows investors that hack and slash games are profitable, id say that a proper NG game is not impossible
Alexander Diaz
Fuck you!
Aaron Anderson
Good golly molly. Got the one with the journalist reaching out to catch Wonder-Blue's rose when he tosses it upwards?

You could have a point the idea behind the game has been done over and over again as in a spectacle brawler game with a heavy focus on evading and combos ( god of war, Bayonetta and the other DMC parts, MGS reveangence etc.) making it maybe unattractive to people who have played these games over and over again or newcomers who get intimidated by the difficulty.
But there is still a market for the genre as can be seen from the generated hype ( not only on Yea Forums but the board did a good job with the memes to spread it though) and I think that it might hit at the right time thanks to the latest PR flops from some of the other publishers and studios especially in the west ( EA, Dice, Acti/Blizzard, Bethesda , Sony and more) meanwhile was Capcom quiet and kept itself out of any drama mostly having only to deal with the fallout from failed games ( Umbrella corps, Lost Planet 3, Dead Rising 4 etc.) and Capcom Vancouvers closing.
This added with Capcom having shown that they still can make top games that sell ( examples like RE 7, RE 2 remake and the newest Megaman title which where all rather successful) while also seizing a new portion of the western market with the release of MHW which got them not only the old fanbase but also a good amount of people from the loot and shooter and Soulsborne crowd.
Add that with the slowly evolving distrust towards western aaa studios and publishers by the growing "up to date customer" crowd (aka the people who watch vidya news like a hawk after the lootbox fiasco) plus a very good presentation and demo of the game itself with some fun interactions with the devs and fans while also making sure to avoid any relations with the latest failed DMC makes me believe ( as in im not an expert I just give my honest opinion) that DMC 5 might have a good chance to sell a good enough amount of units.
That and I am a sucker for comebacks especially for DMC.
Nolan Gomez
shouldnt be too hard to do a hd collection for current gen and pc, then if that sells well it will show demand for the franchise
Christopher Sanchez
please be right user. Please
Jonathan Russell
I like it
Elijah Walker
>they play on novice mode
What a fag
