MGS3 was worse than 1 and 2 though, so your analogy is off.
DMC3: Kino's Awakening
Xavier Sullivan
Elijah Wilson
MGS3 basically became the new point of the series. Same with DMC3. Vergil and Big Boss changed their series.
Isaac Morris
People give 3 way too much credit for its story. A video game puts together a half-competent and people lose their minds over it.
Grayson Walker
It's really well done though.
Landon Cruz
It's good because it complements its gameplay so well. Sort of like MG Revengeance. In a vacuum, the story is mediocre. But when you consider the gameplay that surrounds it, you come to appreciate it more.
Asher Harris
Vergil changed it for the better, Big Boss changed it for the worse.
Brandon Campbell
Shit? How is it shit? The gameplay is easily the best in the series. The story is trash true, but that doesnt really matter
Chase Mitchell
>m-muh story!!!
Aiden Turner
You guys just don't enjoy things very much.
Grayson Clark
It was possible in 5 until they completely flopped on character motivation and it's execution. It was a fluke in 3 though. Don't how they managed to stumble into a godlike story while improving on the themes of 1.
