Why did DMCV fail to overtake Bayo 2 as the undisputed king of the genre?
I mean it had everything going for it. Itsuno as the director, capcoms full backing, enough dev time. And yet it's not the master piece everyone was hoping for. It's still a solid game, it just doesn't reach the level necessary to compete with the gods of the genre.
I know this is pure bait but Bayo 2 isn’t even better than 1. They completely fucked up the combat in so many ways but because casuals don’t know that they are awed by the spectacle.
Asher Howard
2 was worse than Bayo 1, which is still worse than DMC5 with how much shitty downtime it has like the motorcycle or shooter missions, and the QTEs out the ass.
Oliver Long
BayoII is a resounding meh. Even BayoI is better
Sebastian Harris
You mean over the shoulder cinematic movie games?
William Smith
>Rivalry between DMC, Kingdom Hearts, Sekiro, Nioh, and Bayo >Not dumping this dumb console war shit and enjoying all the good games coming out
James Bennett
Lol no it isn’t. And keep in mind Bayo 2 is nowhere near as good as the original.
DMC has been overtaken by Bayonetta. No one who has seriously played both would prefer DMC.
Nolan Perez
Nobody is talking about consoles except for you. As a matter of fact you can play bayo 2 and DMCV on PC you fucking retard.
As a newcomer to these types of games and just finished V, and Bayo1/2 about a month ago, Bayo feels a lot smoother/elegant to play. Jumping to dodge just doesn't feel/look good compared to Witch Time.
Kayden Lewis
NO NO YOU ARE WRONG DMCV IS BETTER
Cameron Reed
>emulation What a fucking meme that I extremely regret falling for
Landon Jenkins
So what you are saying is that you actually ARE too retarded to set up an emulator. Pathetic.
Josiah Brown
>haha just emulate bro haha! haha lol pcbros win again haha! [console]fags btfo! haha ignore the terrible audio and visuals bro haha lol
This. The only game that had Kamiyaisms in it that wasn’t severely hurt by it was Wonderful101
Joseph Edwards
>DMC has been overtaken by Bayonetta. Lol no it hasn’t. Bayo 1 is great but godawful Kamiyaisms and crap like dial-a-combo really limit what is possible. That and I’ve never found Bayonetta’s weapons interesting.
Bayonetta is also a hell of a lot more limited in what you can actually do.
Nathaniel Smith
You realize the game does have a dodge, right? You're like the retards that complained about the parry in Revengeance.
Camden Diaz
Bayonetta is far better than Bayo 2.
Joseph Rodriguez
>he actually believes this
Christopher Ross
No.
William Lopez
>easier game is rated higher by "journalists" who aren't good enough at games to make money off of people watching them play and aren't funny enough to make money off being bad at games really giving me a big think here, user
Ryder Phillips
>Needing a dedicated dodge button Lmao, why do you guys keep repeating this shit? It's unnecessary and there is already many ways to dodge in DMC5
Carter Wright
>no argument
Isaiah Lee
It's because Bayo 2 is babby's first cuhrayzee action game. Not to mention it has a fanbase full of trannies and lesbians. >Using "No U" in 2019
Christopher Parker
But it is though. Bayo 2 forces you to use witch time and umbral climax to do any damage because they made wicked weave fucking suck.
John Cook
>it’s easier
Isn’t DMCV extremely easy on the tutorial difficulty?
Alexander Jackson
Lock on and hit the stick to the side + A/X
Brayden Adams
FPBP Imagine using Metacucks as an argument. Fuck Nu-Yea Forums.
no easier than Bayonetta 2 on the lowest difficulty
Elijah Nguyen
or use Gerbera and press Circle/B or use Trickster and press Circle/B or play as V and never be anywhere near enemies
Andrew Jones
It is in terms of enemies actually attacking and how much damage they do but the execution barrier is still higher than Bayonetta because only a couple of things are dial-a-combo in DMC
Ian Reed
Bayo's a solid series but it annoys me when people complain that "THERE'S NO DEDICATED DODGE EVERYTHING BUTTON WTF" in DMC. There are many different ways to dodge shit depending on the situation, you have to actually experiment and learn.
Ian Allen
Table Hopper too. Seriously where did this fucking meme of HURR NO DODGE BUTTON come from?
Adrian Jackson
doesn't Table Hopper use the regular dodge input AND require pretty tight timing
Jonathan Perez
Bayo 2 is worse than Bayo 1 and that's QTE trash. Seethe more Bayocuck/switchlet.
i agree, i really liked bayo 2, but man there's something about DMC V, stupid game has way too much soul, it might lack amazing fights like The lumen sage youtube.com/watch?v=AcdmaoFr8Wo (Summons powerful Angels to counter bayo's demon summoning, and them they both fight as progressively more massive angels and demons they summon fight in the brackground and occasionally interrupt your own fight with the sage) But i just can't help but to love DMC V, and something tells me the people at Platinum are all playing and loving the game too
Dedicated dodge reduces the amount of moves you can do, instead you lock on and jump right or left which works better anyway
Noah Ross
People don't talk enough about how terrible umbran climax is in of itself It's fucking bizarre to me that the people making bayo 2 thought that PRESS L TO UNGA BUNGA BUNGA ENTIRE SCREEN was something that would fit the gameplay of bayonetta at all and I have nothing but fear for bayonetta 3 because of it
Jackson Edwards
Please don't use the term "undisputed" on a board where people will dispute literally evertyhing.
Luke Price
>N-NO IT REQUIRES SKILL AND TIMING I WANT MY CRUTCH Casuals BTFO
Justin Baker
Bayo 2 was a Nintendo game
Joshua Nelson
No. It's a platinum game.
Christian Brown
Hell, I’d argue the concept of an “I win button” was done better in DMC5 too with SDT. Instead of getting MAXIMUM UNGA on existing moves you actually get a unique moveset. It also didn’t replace regular DT and is a hell of a lot shorter.
Landon Foster
ResetEra faggots so used to Bayo
Brody Richardson
It do but so does witch time in theory
Nicholas Bennett
When did Bayo fans became insufferable faggot? >Nintendo exclusive Oh that's right
Dylan Stewart
You can play it on PC. Oh whoops, your entire post fell apart just like that.
Blake Brooks
Witch Time's timing is much looser, and it's still directly tied to the dedicated dodge button
reviews are absolutely meaningless and have been for at least a decade and a half now
Nolan Collins
i love bayo too, but this user is right

Samuel Cooper

Landon Flores
Seriously speaking, Bayonetta is a shitty great game. It has flaws on every single corner, but it also has plenty of insanely cool stuff. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed it, but Kamiya is a hack.
Xavier Brown
There is a dedicated dodge though
Jump/lock on roll/air hike/trickster/shadow and some other moves have I frames in them
*royal guards him into the trash where he belongs*
James Hall
All of those games are shit so why does it matter? Bloodborne was the only good action game this decade besides Dark Souls
Colton Turner
It's weird, because I loved Bayo1 and played it like 5 times. I barely finished Bayo2 and I've had no desire to replay it.
Aiden Jones
go away kh fag
Ayden Morales
t.kamiya
Ian Ward
Bloodborne is a great game but it isn't without flaws, like the other games you're talking. Regardless, if you think Bloodborne is a better ACTION game than Automata or DMC5, you're properly brain dead.
BAYO 2 is way more casual and easier than dmc after that game has a dodge button etc and thats a pro with reviewers simple as that
Aiden Harris
Seething, KH was always completely shit just like everything Square has made since FFX.
Joseph Mitchell
Bad story, even for DMC. I was hoping for a switch and bait involving Vergils corpse but we HAD to have him return because Itsuno can't write for shit. Every prediction came true and it's completely upsetting that it occurred. Instead of something like Mundus hijacking Vergil's corpse so he could get vengeance on Dante by doing what Urizen did and V being an actual character. Bad camera. The Camera is absolute jank. Having a moving camera in a room filled with walls and shit is awful. Some room layouts are absolute cancer as V. Not unique to DMC5 but definitely the worst game in the series for it. They are either MASSIVE open arenas on par with boss rooms or filled with little raised platforms and crevices that hamper combos. The AI on Vs summons isn't good enough to deal with it so you end up with Kitty flailing against a wall or Raven trapped down under the floor since there's no dedicated reset button aside from the taunt, which isn't guaranteed. Music is 90% shit. There's like 3 good tracks in the game and the rest are entirely bad and even worse than DmC. Bosses are all fairly crap and I'd say they all feel like DmC as well. Aside from Vergin, they are all giant retards or arena style bosses with AI patterns that are insanely bad so you end up with ChickenWitch teleporting outside of your trickster range and spamming attacks or just doing her body shake endlessly. Same as King Cerberus when he decides to endlessly phase shift. The only good boss in the game was Vergin. Goliath is slow. Siren is a pain to fight at the point you fight her. Voltaic Knight 1 is pretty fun if it wasn't for fucking V. Voltaic Knight 2 is so easy that he could have been a regular enemy. V's boring ass plant boss was cancer. Chicken boss was cancer. All renditions of Urizen are trash and you spend 90% of the fight in his ass with enemy step where the only thing he can do is spin, which ironically means you can I-frame through it and keep on him.
Asher Hughes
DMC5 has awful visuals. Girls are ugly and environment is colorless and depressing. Bayo 2 has sexy girls and pleasant colorful aesthetic.
Gavin Lewis
>there's no dedicated reset button aside from the taunt backstep recalls Griffon, regular dodge recalls Shadow
GIT GUD
Cooper Davis
Yeah but at least Trish, Lady and Nico aren't tranny lesbian bait like people make Bayo and Jeanne out to be.
David Adams
i do, but it's context sensitive if that's the right word, ie you have to input depending on orientation, and you can only dodge (?) on horizontal axis. i think you can do backflip in air or something. the camera can be pretty bad, the FoV is so low.
Joshua Allen
both Nero and Dante have dedicated, omnidirectional dodge buttons
Landon Turner
The dialogue is so absolute dog shit that it alone takes off several points. It ranges from just cheesy enough to cringe but not cheesy enough to be DMC to just plain puerile. Also, fuck V.
Mason Gomez
Nero doesn't if you don't have Gerbera. Dante does with Trickster.
Neither are dedicated and V has the most unused buttons out of all characters by the end. He could easily have them mapped to shoulders instead and be fine.
Juan Anderson
If there's anything that characterizes Bayonetta, it's bullshit camera angles and emphasis on cinematics over actually getting to see what's going on. Seems like a logical extension of the concept to me.
Gavin Anderson
>Neither are dedicated it happens every single time you do backstep or dodge. Just because dodge isn't bound to a single button doesn't mean there isn't a dedicated command to recall the summons.
Aiden Wood
There still isn't anything as bad as filling your dark soul with the LIGHT
Aaron Bennett
>rated higher than similar games of similar quality >it's a Nintendo exclusive
hmmmmm
Brandon Russell
Yeah, but at least that's the kind of crappy writing that leaves you with a smile on your face. It's not "up your butt" or "yeah, sorry i'm about to kill you!"
Adrian Hernandez
and by doing the action, you are resetting the pet even if you don't actively want to. A dedicated resummon button that operates at any time the pet is "inactive" i.e not attacking would be vastly superior to having to dodge pointlessly aside from the resummon. Im aware you can dodge to reset the pets but you shouldnt fucking have to.
Anthony Torres
Corny bad is better than outright bad. Even the CUHRAZY cutscenes in this game feel watered down compared to the others.
David Jenkins
Yikes. Just stick to Bayonetta lad.
Samuel Harris
Are you retarded? That's the dumbest suggestion I've heard so far
Because they made you play as Nero and V for half the goddamn game before you get to enjoy playing as Dante. Dante's play style is the only thing about this game that is good, Nero and V are just not fun. Same reason that DMC 4 was so much worse than 3.
Aaron Lee
I like V, but I still don't get why they keep trying to push these other characters off on us.
Daniel Rogers
Without speaking to the game's actual quality, the mainstream perception of the game is probably linked to the lack of a dodge button.
Recently, I had a friend, who had never played a DMC game other than DmC, try out DMC5 and they were very confused as to why there wasn't a dodge button. They said that the game felt awkward and stiff to move around in and they were getting frustrated. They watched me play for a while and realized how fluid the movement could be once they learned the controls. They said that they wanted to get good at the game and I let them borrow a copy of it. Bayonetta does feel more fluid to people who haven't been really versed in the genre.
Josiah Bailey
I hate it so much. I fell in love with DMC 3 in high school when a friend let me borrow it and all I want from the sequels is to have weapon swapping style switching Dante and I barely get it ever. At least he is so fun to play in V that it makes up for the dredge.
William Wright
Are these people retarded? There is a dodge..
Ryder Lee
It's not a good dodge.
Noah Long
This is just hilarious lmao. Imagine thinking Bayo2 is a good action game, let alone thinking its better than DMC5. Top tier bait Barry, outdid yourself this time.
Grayson Stewart
git gud
Xavier Adams
I don't know who barry is, but you guys talk about him like some 14 y/o schoolgirls in love. You just can't keep his name out of your mouth, fucking slut.
Jaxon Barnes
>moving the goal post Also, it's not bad.
Brody Williams
Well, Bayonetta is actually evolution of action games made by original creator of DMC while DMC5 is stagnation, they just bloat third game with more and more content and convoluted controls without moving forward. Bayonetta can do everything Dante can and much more. She has all the options of all the styles without needing of pointless styleswitching inputs. She has elegant weapon switch system on only one button when in DMC5 you can literally mash button 3 times just to switch a weapon. Unfortunately, Itsuno just can't improve. He made an amazing game back in the day but since then nothing changed.
Asher Wright
Eh, i preferred Bayo 2, but DMC V will (probably) be GOTY when it comes around. I love both franchises and so i don't give a shit about having them compete.
Jordan Ramirez
Because game journalists are still pretending DmC was good long after they stopped being paid to do so.
Asher Price
Don't worry Bob you'll be shitting on DMC5 the same way when the next big thing gets you all excited.
Daniel Bailey
Not to mention enemies that aren't Affinities/Acceptances can actually kill you. Every enemy in DMC only exists for you to style on.
Mason Wright
DMC5 didn't have a strong independent womyn as the MC.
Levi Rogers
Who is Bob?
Evan Russell
thinking dmc5 is better than bayo2 because "muh dante"
Camden Bennett
>Bayo 2 is nowhere near as good as the original. Why? It has an actual color palette and no instant death bullshit QTEs.
does dmc5 really not have a dedicated dodge/ block button? even kh and ff15 have those
Liam Moore
There he goes again pretending he's not Bob
Ryder Gray
no dedicated dodge button
I mean this is the major complaint of literally ALL the reviewers who drag down the dmc5 metascore, claiming how the game feels "outdated" without it". It's seriously ridiculous, like these people don't understand anything about game design and why this mechanic wasn't embraced even though dmc2 already had it.
Adrian Smith
Because Bayo 1 is actually challenging and has better enemies and bosses. Bayo 2 is the definition of style over substance.
Luke Cook
Do focus on the user reviews next time please. We don't trust game journalist around here much.
Joshua Rogers
>no dedicated dodge button Why don't y'all just use the jump button? It's there so you can literally jump out of an attack's way. What more do these people want?
William Ward
Wait is it really down to the dodge button when DMC offers other movement based options instead?
Kevin Lopez
>The first time you encounter Gracious and Glorious That was the first time when i actually got gud at Bayonetta without brute forcing. Wish DMC had those kind of enemies.
brainlets don't understand that the jump button is the dedicated dodge button. They've been conditioned by dark souls and other baby tier action games to have a dodge roll be the only way to avoid taking damage.
Jack Gonzalez
>Brainlet that doesn't understand Bayonetta's combat 2 is worse in every single way mechanically. Way too forgiving witch time dodges, Umbran Climax, worse enemy design and less variety of the new enemies, too many human bosses.
Dominic Hernandez
Dodge roll input is jump sideways while locked on, but the thing is that regular jump has the same amount of i-frames Also Dante has both a proper dodge and a block
Adam Young
>Skin color >anything but white or yellow Yikes and gross.
Isaac Hall
Well.... Rolling left or right is dedicated dodge on the ground so they aren't even able to argue that away. Also Dante has a dodge right out of the gate on top of everything amp'd by DT.
V is the only argument that could make since yeah he has double jump but his ground dodge is sorta aids and I found it rough to dodge shit like Goliaths charge in mission 13. Even then these brainlets won't go above Human/DH mode so that damage is minimal
Christopher Cruz
I mean even going further than that >Dante has Trickster turning Circle into a dodge button >Nero let's you destruct a devil breaker to block attacks >You can avoid attacks easily with V by running around the area while spamming Shadow and Griffon without locking on
On Mission 15 or 16. I'm spoiled myself and im just taking my time but honestly id say whats ahead makes it look about equal to Bayo 2. Bayo 1 is better then bother and NGB/DMC3SE are still kings of the genre.
DMC5 is still a good mainline game.
Cooper Brown
So just the jump button? those games have dedicated jump buttons too
Bentley Thompson
v has the best jump though, i swear V must also be channeling one of those frog demons. I went against the elder knight during the boss rush with only nightmare, and his hops were best for dodging all the swings, because his last blow left you the most time to read the book.
Jack Lee
kh and ff15 have jump button, dodge button and block button
Ryan James
Blitz and corrupted assaults are 10 times harder than those retards. In 5 nobodies and Furies are way harder in DMD since after they DT they are ridiculous. Bayonetta is only harder than DMC on easy or normal difficulties. Infinite climax has nothing on DMD mode.
Colton Brooks
it's too "different", that's it
it takes time to get used to it in a time where pretty much all other action games just use i-frame based dedicated dodge button
Ryder Butler
Nincel bonus
Andrew Lee
>Because they made you play as Nero and V for half the goddamn game before you get to enjoy playing as Dante. Dante's play style is the only thing about this game that is good After thinking about it, I can't disagree with this. I thought Nero felt okay to play as when the game first started, but I was pretty bored with him by the time the story finished. V was always shit, just the fact that he's not optional, means that I probably won't replay this one anywhere as much as 1 and 3. We really should be able to go through the entire game as one character after the first playthrough.
Ethan Stewart
hell even nero's air taunt can be considered a good dodge
>after all those years people still cry about bayo 2 I never realized how much it hurt Yea Forums, but apparently you can't get over her.
Gavin Nelson
>V Yeah, sorry you don't have the 150 IQ required to enjoy him
Hunter Jones
where is there an ammo counter next to the devil breaker? it's not going down when I press circle, and holding circle breaks the thing entirely...
Nicholas Martinez
Imagine being so dumb you need a mechanic so you can just mash attack and then mash roll the second you see an animation instead of measuring and spacing.
Also jump iframes , tons of mechanics for movement , roll left or right on the ground avoids most shire. Double jump doesn't have iframes but avoids most stuff if you dodge visually. Neros dodge arm etc.
People are dumb and this is coming from someone who enjoyed NGB/NG2 more which has a dedicated dodge.
Alexander Cook
>ip count still the same You ain't fooling anyone Barry.
William Peterson
yeah well too bad the gameplay in Bayo is fucking dogshit where you MUST dodge offset throughout the entire game with zero creativity
Charles Diaz
harder than anything in Bayonetta. I didn't even have to try to beat infinite climax.
Ian Martinez
I see nothing wrong with this. It's still the best DMC.
Ryder Garcia
What a surprise. People can post multiple times in a thread. We should change the rules and ban everyone that does this. Fucking retard.
Henry Morgan
The only thing besides Dantes RG which is a parry but also blocks in the animation that DMC does have is a block which would trivialize the game and is for faggots.
Sometimes less is more. KOF isn't worse then GG just because GG has IAD/air dashes. Or just less base mechanics in general.
Colton Reyes
What the fuck are you talking about? He's by far the easiest and most brain dead character to play as, that's why he's so fucking boring. Is this bait?
I asked this twice already, but didn't get an answer. Who the fuck is barry and why is he constantly on your mind, faggot? Can you please not associate me with your love interest?
Jaxon Reed
>with zero creativity All those Bayo combo videos with amazing setups prove you wrong easily.
Sebastian Watson
go away kh fag your boogeyman doesn't exist
Camden Phillips
It's because you're a DH babby
Gavin Anderson
I find Nero extremely fun if you play him like a rythm game rather than trying to play him like Dante 2.0. Managing his charge shots, Exceed, Bringer Knucle, buster and devil breakers is extremely fun when they all click together. Some Devil Brakers like Tomboy and Punchline never get old and give him an expanded moveset. Can't get into V that much though.
Justin Walker

Leo Wood
>no dedicated dodge button all dmc games have a dedicated dodge button. only difference is that DmC emphasized it too much by having the game go slow mo whenever you perfectly dodge an attack (which i don't fucking understand at all). this is why journos praised it because a simple press of a button made them feel like they've just discovered how to dodge a bullet. dmc isn't meant to be a dodge simulator, it's a fucking character action, it encourages you to use different moves and execute combos. also fuck this franchise war faggotry, you can enjoy both without being an elitsit prick

I'm so glad I can just enjoy and see what's good about all of the games you mentioned. Literally all just action games where you can do cool shit. Isn't that all we want? The only ones I hate are soulsborne cos they have no depth and are plain boring to play. Nioh and sekiro are good though.
>Yea Forums doing the reasonable thing How new are you? You either worship something as a gift from God and defend it to the death and deny and flaws or you absolutely despise it and refuse to acknowledge any good parts about it.

I'm playing Bayo 2 right now, and it's great. They moved special weapons to the shooting button, and added colors to the game. Sure, Umbran Climax is overpowered, but I'm enjoying it tons.

Jayden Harris
Bayonetta 2 wasn't made by nintendo, you mentally challenged faggot.
Can you please stop talking to me? You have clearly mental issues. Why don't you ask a psychiatrist about your "nintendo bonus" problem.
Oliver Richardson
who said that every action game must have a dedicated Dodge Button? dmc Works fine without it,and if you are too dumb to Lock and Dodge the jump Button hás i frames
Eli Perry
Or maybe you should deal with the fact Bayonetta 2 is definitely not at 92.
Tyler Phillips
Bayonetta can barely do half of what Dante can in 5. She’s about as complex as Nero is without the execution barrier to do the really cool shit and because you sound like a scrub who needs dial-a-combo to anything cool looking it makes sense that you like the easier game.
Luis Garcia
Bayonetta 2 is pretty shit mate. Lots of anons itt have explained why.
Carson Brooks
A lot of that is nitpicking. The two valid complaints are Umbran Climax and Witch Time changes.

>l-look how deep the combat it >I need to input simple commands that existed since the 80's!
Luis Reed
Those nitpicks add up to a general feeling of less variety and trying to force the player to rely on witch time and umbral climax. The changes to wicked weave also suck ass.
Not a big fan of the space harrier section, but I'll get around to it.

Nathaniel Morgan
Bayo2 isn't even half as good as Bayo1
James Torres
DMC5 would score better if you played as Dante in the Nero sections. Nero overall feels kinda bad to play if you aren't an expert at the exceed mechanic and Dante feels great even if you just use 2 styles and 2 weapons.
Camden Moore

Robert Russell
Nice image from 2007
Ethan Hughes
Rivining is admitting you do indeed have ADHD and only want to see the cutscenes.
Jayden Johnson
I have to agree with the rest. The lack of a simplified, omni directional dodge button is what really made the game kind of a chore to me compared to games like Bayonetta, Nier Automata, and even Dark Souls/Nioh that has rolling mechanics instead. DMCV just feels kinda stiff. It basically still just plays the same as DMC3 a decade ago but you get to do more stuff (especially with regards to Dante's revamped skillset), which is cool for fans of the series I guess, but Platinum and Fromsoft has just spoiled me.
Sebastian Sanders
>j-just don't use an intended game mechanic that even breaks the "hardest" difficulty Every single other game gets called out for game breaking bullshit like infinite heal potions and mid fight checkpoints.
Enjoy your casual shit.
Jaxson Johnson
In before he backpedals and says the game has a revive function therefore its DESIGNED AROUND REVIVES, just like the useless DLC shop that allows you to buy Red Orbs so the game is designed to give you less.
Xavier Sullivan
I feel like it’s that in combination with peoples hesitation on how and when to use breaker. But man once you start to get Nero he becomes just as fun as Dante in my opinion, especially post-game.
Jacob Morales
You just missed him actually
Adam Phillips
Fuck this is awful bait but I'm so fucking mad at you for saying something so fucking dumb. Fuck yourself.
You can LITERALLY >dodge left or right >time it better for a better dodge >use trickster >parry >break animations with the right attack >jump >use specific non-jump techniques to reposition yourself
Literally, LITERALLY if you get hit it's always your fault
Benjamin Carter
If you're good enough you won't get to use those mechanics though? What's the problem here, exactly? Is your gamer cred being threatened? Pathetic bait, here's your (you).
Bentley Kelly
Don't pretend there's that much combo variety in DMC.
Reminder that self imposed difficulty doesn't improve bad game design. You can choose not to overpower yourself and pause in heal in Nier but it still doesn't make the chip/heal system good.
Charles Campbell
The jump has i-frames on it.
That said, I think DMC is designed around limited defensive options, compared to bayo and Ninja Gaiden.
James Hill
Bayo 2s user score was literally dragged down by "how could they betray us, PORT IT NOW!"
Hunter Walker
The smoothest option there is Trickster but still nowhere as smooth as like say, Nier Automata's dodge mechanic.
>Yelow orbs are quite unfair even if you are playing in son of Spartan mode

People saying bayo 2 is better than 1 either >played it once and didn’t try any other difficulties >probably did the same with 1 >don’t give a fuck if it has all the horrible design choices on the combo system, witch time, Umbrian climax, item spam, etc because “muh color palette and no qtes” I swear the moment anyone says bayo 1 is rightly better about 5 people immediately says mug qtes because that’s ALL bayo 2 has over it.

>Neither are dedicated Holy shit good work user you just proved you're not worth even speaking to outside of just directly insulting, you fucking retard.
Zachary Clark
>The jump has i-frames on it. Was this also a thing in DMC3 and DMC4?
Jose Morris
Yes?
Sebastian Torres
Over half the people who beat the game used revives on the last boss (m19 since 20 is a victory lap) in the game. How is this a good thing?
I think it was, yes. Right at the very start of the jumping animation.
The thing about bayo is that most people played it without realizing that dodge offset is a thing.
I was wondering why bayo 1 didn't include a tutorial on dodge offset. The fact that bayo 2 introduced umbran climax makes me think that devs don't want to scare people off by making them learn execution.
Jeremiah Davis
This enjoy both Both DMC and Bayonetta have had similar staff Remember Platinum games staff is literally Ex Capcom employees
Sebastian Perry
>That said, I think DMC is designed around limited defensive options Somewhat true for Nero and V, but Dante literally has a style that gives him mobility that would make Bayo blush and another one that gives him block/parry
Sebastian Allen
Or just the fact that it's shit.
Colton Collins
DMC 3 and 4 were already better than Bayo 1 though. And Bayo 1 was better than 2.
You shouldn't base your opinions on Metacritic since the journalists that bolster those reviews don't actually play the games youtube.com/watch?v=bZWSoV6zE0M
To be fair it says continues, which means the people who just retired count along with the ones that used the orbs
Hudson Martin
Most non-faggots do like both but I think it’s okay to prefer one to the other and to discuss why. Not this thread though as the whole thing was pure bait from the get go
Charles Brown
So? You're meant to play this game multiple times. I remember dying countless times back when I played vanilla DMC3. Then way later I was doing no hit run on DMD. What's your point?
Justin Cooper
If you mean retry then no, since I retried 3 times and got the achievement.
Connor Reed
Eh, I think the panther form in bayo is more versitile. I agree though, Dante has better options, especially with royal guard, which kinda breaks the Normal difficulty where enemies hardly attack you.
Still, even royal guard required you to master its timing if you want to make the best out of it.
Justin Phillips
are 5 metacritic points really enough to justify a shitpost thread?
>DMC 3 and 4 were already better than Bayo 1 though. A lot of people will disagree.
For me it's Ninja Gaiden 2 > bayo 1 > DMC5.
Ethan Diaz
It’s either be trapped by Nintendo or just die. It’s like join the navy or die in the cold
Jeremiah Sanders
Bayonetta has big tiddy mommy for main player character and that's it.
William Flores
Bad game design is bad. Self imposed challenges doesn't fix it, it just mitigates it on a player by player basis.
Connor Reed
Metacritic is the only thing Bayofags had for quite some time now. I don't remember the last time we had Bayo 2 thread that didn't involve just jerking off to metascore.
Alexander Nelson
>Self imposed challenges Uhhh, multiple difficulties are not self-imposed. They're part of the game. Part of the genre. When I said that I was doing a no-hit run it was because I got good. Not because I was "self-imposing" a challenge. As opposed to dying multiple times on normal difficulty the first time.
James Taylor
>As a matter of fact you can play bayo 2 and DMCV on PC you fucking retard. Emulators don't count mate, only real releases.
Brody Hernandez
why did you hide the user score? it's not like the journo ones matter.
Carter Garcia
DMC fag here. anyone who's still a KH fag after the abortion that was KH3 is mentally ill. I would never shake hands with them.
Jonathan Roberts
You can revive on DMD though and people are bound to be dying more on that mode thus using a bad game mechanic even more.
Jaxon Gutierrez
Anyone who ever was a KHfag was always mentally ill.
Brody Hill
>admitting to using gold orbs Absolute state of shitters.
Blake Gutierrez
DMC5's rating is in line with the other DMC games Also Bayo 2 is quite honestly just more normie friendly
Austin Wright
>A lot of people will disagree. A lot of people also love Fortnite and Nu-GoW. Argumentum ad populum. Opinions of the masses and journalists aren't worth acknowledging just because many hold them.
Angel Lewis
Define smooth. What does N:A's dodge do that none of the abilities I listed can't?
I fought the DMC5 teleporter cunt on SoS last night and perfect dodged (sidestepped) an entire attack string, I've never felt that in control of a character in any game ever
Connor Roberts
>You cant swap betwen devil breakers Why do people want this? Every Devil Breaker beside Helter-skelter is good no matter the situation.
Tyler Phillips
No Nintendo bonus and modern game journalism. But theories aside i personally had more fun plying Bayonetta 2 than DMCV but i just like the series more than DMC in general.
Fuck you Bayonetta 2 basically fixed everything I hated about 1 Those fucking insta death qte
William Davis
So what? The times of game over screens are long gone, people don't have patience for hard games nowadays. If you don't see how the yellow orbs make sense in DMC5, you're simply out of touch.
Meanwhile, hardcore players such as yourself can just ignore it, and restart from a checkpoint.
Easton Perry
Your argument is even worse.
Brayden Fisher
>V is better. His gameplay is not that great.
Sebastian Evans
Why are you bringing up masses? Sorry if it wasn't obvious I was referring to players who love action games.
Joseph Reed
That’s the only thing Bayo 2 has over 1
Colton Wilson
>People are still calling this DMCV Jesus christ the title has a number "5" on it. People don't call DMC3 DMCIII or DMC4 DMCIV.
Complaining about insta death qte's is a sure sign you didn't play the game at least twice. Once you've unlocked Climax, you already know what's coming at you.
Jackson White
>newcomer that wants a dedicated dodge button (DmC) also prefers Bayo and uses vague buzzwords to justify it I HOPE that this is just a falseflag in order to make Bayonetta fans seem like retards. I hope you're not one of these people
Christopher Lee
>Girls are ugly They're not. In fact they're even hotter now. Maybe Trish's face look kinda crack whore-ish.
It wasn't an argument, just dismissal. I don't waste my time arguing about stylish action game mechanics on Yea Forums anymore. I just hang around /cgg/ these days.
Sebastian Cox
I hate to say it but unironically Bayo 2 got that score because it was a Nintendo exclusive
Daniel Green
>only 20% of the people who beat the game never used a revive on the final boss embarassing
Anthony Perry
>Game journos are subhuman until I can use their opinions to shit post
Kill yourself.
Owen Kelly
They're trying to be intelligent and cultured
Isaiah Nguyen
>mash button to get the bonus! >mash button to get the bonus! >mash button to get the bonus! >mash button to get the bonus! FUCKING STOP >decide to only mash at half speed because fuck your 1000 halos >instadeath Oh they're still there, just not in the same way. But yeah removing them from the stages was an improvement.
Samuel Hill
>I don't remember the last time we had Bayo 2 thread that didn't involve just jerking off to metascore You know what, you're right I don't either. It's a shame too because Bayonetta is a great series and 2 is a great game. Metacritic really is a cancer.
Noah Cook
While I haven't and don't plan to read DMCV reviews, I can imagine that's one of the reasons the game is scoring in the 80s. Nero and Dante don't have instant get out of jail free cards from the start unlike V. I haven't gotten to Dante in the story yet, but Nero's side roll and Table Hopper, with the latter needed to be unlocked, only work if he's locked onto something and I'm betting Dante isn't any different. There's no dedicated dodge or evade like in DmC or Bayonetta.
At the same time that's what makes DMC what it is. What you're able to do depends on whether or not you're locked on and you have to alternate between both. You can't just lock on and go ham on everything and occasionally dodge, you have to know when to let up and back off at your own discretion or pay for it.
Aiden Wood
gaming journalists are retarded, bayo 2 was a step down from 1 in almost every way while dmc5 was a step up from 4 in almost every way.
Connor Martinez
>smoothest >smooth Why are Yea Forumsermin so vague when it comes to describing in-depth mechanics? How is Asstomata dodge "smooth" or objectively better in any way? Is it because it's braindead since it gives you a retarded amount of invincibility frames because the game has tacked on shmup elements and the only way to balance those in a 3D game is to make the movement babby-mode tier?
