Kayden Cox

its not like mhw is some halfassed game or first entry in series it had generation of improvements and innovations and is the most advanced game in the series, finally released on advanced plats instead of being locked at manchildren hanheld platform again no fucking wonder people liked it
Parker Long
It's true though. Everyone for a decade had been saying how based it would be to have a monster hunter with state of the art (for consoles) graphics and a second fucking analog, lo and behold they were absolutely fucking right. The only explanation for why this hasn't been hammered in is because it's on every console so there's literally no one to complain this time

RE has always been the more popular series, so I'm not sure what kind of point you're trying to make.

DMC fujoshits despise RE waifufags
Isaiah Walker
RE is full of just as many fujos. Capcom probably has the most fujos out of any popular japanese developer.
Jacob Flores
Good. DMC was never good aside from the first. Rhe firsf one is basically RE but with a sword. And that's awesome. All the others suck.
Jayden Jackson
Enjoy it while it lasts because it's going back to handhelds after Iceborne. We'll see the next Portable game on Switch, and then the "G rank" version of World will be on Sony's Vita successor that copies the Switch's plug and play gimmick (you know this is going to be a thing, don't lie). If we're lucky they'll make a standalone World G HD so it can be multiplat again.
No it doesn't, RE threads almost never get fujo shit compared to DMC threads. RE fujos may exist but they never speak up
Ryan Lopez
there is not and never has been animosity between DMC and RE fans.

Remember when Nintôddlers said that MH will flop after leaving ninny shitty hardware? lol
Jaxon Hernandez
Blame the tourists from reddit and other places acting like clowns to try to fit into what they think Yea Forums culture is. They're also much more confrontational and love to push the us vs them mindset because the majority of them also browse /pol/, who opened the floodgate for these faggots.
Angel Torres
Shit man. I don't even play Ace Attorney and the way they treat the IP still makes me mad.
Isaac Harris
Everyone was waiting mh to leave the shitty nintendo consoles that were holding back the franchise
Charles Wood
>HD ports don't even look very nice and the 3DS games were a bit lackluster
All they had to do was milk the format the first 3 games had with new mysteries and twists.
Evan Green
Good, maybe now they'll make another Devil May Cry that's closer to the first game. You know, with actual level design, atmosphere and a strong gothic art style+good soundtrack. It's pretty obvious that the massive focus on combat and only combat that started with 3, is something that only appeals to a certain niche. Taking DMC6 back to a more RE inspired direction could probably get them RE2 level sales. I know some of you will think I'm shitposting and will seethe at this post, but I'm just being honest. DMC1 always has and always will be the best DMC, so how about getting another game that's similar to it?
Joseph Robinson
its literally just one autist
Liam Campbell
Iceborne is G-Rank you retard. And if Nintendo ever does get another Monster Hunter, it's gonna be spinoff shit like GU. Lets look at the facts, the 2 best selling titles for MH are not on Nintendo platforms. Therefore it would be stupid to release MH on a Nintendo platform again.
There's always the one crazy fucker trying to ruin everything with any game, isn't there?
Jeremiah Richardson
Better than the literal hallway simulator that is DMC 5 at least.

Cooper Wilson
Honestly I can see why somebody would like the puzzles but as long as the combat is intact I can't imagine why the game would be ruined by their absence.
Matthew Kelly
>"Capcom is to making this sector a priority area, and aims to grow the player base worldwide through running leagues that utilize Street Fighter," the company said.
So what does this mean? SFVI or continued support for SFV?
I'm of the opinion that SFV is not necessary a bad game but the public perception behind it has been in the gutter since release. AE fixed a lot of the games problems but people will never forget how disastrous that launch was. I think going for a sequel would be great for a fresh start now that they are on their redemption arch but i feel like its too soon to end SFV. Id prefer if they wait for next gen to bring back Street Fighterand maybe Marvel.
DMC5 doesn't need good level design, the levels just need to be a gauntlet of battles for me to engage with. That said I would've liked for the level visuals to be a bit more varied, the tree levels look very same-y.
Sebastian Sanders
>literally the same thread
Tyler Gonzalez
Why not both?
Lincoln Moore
This, DMC don't need shit backtracking or boring puzzles. The city levels were really good and we need more of those
>DMC5 doesn't need good level design, the levels just need to be a gauntlet of battles for me to engage with. You're one of those "a good fighting game only needs training and versus mode" autists aren't you?
Adrian Rogers
1). DMC actually sold faster compared to Re2 and might pass it.
2). It doesn't matter if it doesn't, RE and DMCfags are friends and share roots and this will not divide them. Both series are on a high note and both are happy. Let's leave it at that.
3). This is not a good bait, post Jill feet.
Brandon Collins
Eh? That's not even the same kind of game.
Owen Torres

Christopher Jackson
Because G-rank doesn't really do a good job indicating an increase of difficulty like how Low to High rank does. And you act as if Master Rank won't have it's own threshold of armor and weapons, why the fuck would it not? It's still the third tier rank you dumbass, why would this suddenly NOT have a new level of weapons and armor?
Owen Smith

It might have something to do with the fact that they're actually making decent games again. Notice how most of Yea Forums LIKED Capcom, but after last gen with their insistence of outsourcing their shit and on disc DLC opinion turned quickly.

imagine being shitting on mhw months before its initial release. imagine shitposting non stop about how bad it will flop. imagine shitposting even after two months of the ps4 release. IMAGINE shitposting after the PC release holy shit, being that wrong.... i would kill myself it that were the case. thank god im not mentally challenged
Isaac Thompson
You are a very silly man if you think either of those metrics matter at all, especially if you're talking about what this site of all places is talking about.
Landon Rodriguez
Most the people claiming shit will flop are tourists chasing after the ToRtantic experience they missed.
Colton Davis
>And if Nintendo ever does get another Monster Hunter, it's gonna be spinoff shit like GU. That's what I said, the next Portable game
Ian Lewis
I was exited for MHW because it looked like Dragon's Dogma kind of game in trailers. Most comments against it were made by nintendo consumers. 3ds MHs were huge cringe, that little thing barely ran with 128x128 textures. The real shit came when people started nitpicking on it for being "easy", because you could run while drinking potion or pick up flowers on the go. All that while monsters are now twice as unpredictable, and dynamic monster fights add to it.
Logan Martin
>That guy who claimed DMC5's budget was ToRtanic sized They really gave up trying to hide when these numbers came in.
Jordan Smith
It's alot to ask but I do really hope they keep classic and modern MH going simultaneously. Classic MH is still really fun, and I personally prefer the old map styles because of how they didn't need to make each area blend into each other realistically thanks to the abstraction of the load screens.
Chase Morgan
We still have DMC threads, RE2 is dead, all we get are the occasional Claire la creatura threads that only make it to like 12 post before dying. DMC's impact was bigger. Here and everywhere else on social media, as were it's memes. Deal with it youtube.com/watch?v=VTx0709z2Ao
Evan Cruz
>DMC5 doesn't need good level design
Fuck off. Every game needs good level design, there's no fucking exceptions. 5's braindead design was barely above fucking Bloody Palace.
We have Bloody Palace for straight up fighting. A single player campaign should have more thought put into it just like 1 and 3. 4 was already showing bland as fucking level design and 5 just got worse.
Xavier Johnson
>deal with it Ok?
Ryan Jones
>Is anyone even talking or posting about Nu-Leon, Ada or Claire anymore? yes, multiple threads every day
1. DMC5 sales were frontloaded 2. These are shipped numbers, not sold numbers
Eli Reyes
>2. These are shipped numbers, not sold numbers Can we stop trying to act like this makes any difference in the grand scheme of things? Once it's shipped Capcom doesn't care if the copy leaves the store they've already got their money.
Christopher Hall
Literally no one, Leon/Claire/Ada couldn't even compete with the pace of DMC sfms, they a flop. Probably because RE engine was still getting the kinks worked out so they look mongrel.
Nathaniel Powell
> Sells 2m copies > Assassins Creed sold 4 > FALLOUT 76 sold 3 > Anthem sold 4 Not a flop guys!
> inb4 > B-but it is the best selling DMC game! > DMC always sold like shit, that's why DmC happened
You're legitimately retarded if you think Yea Forums is a good metric. Those DMC threads last for several hours and rarely hit post limit before 5 hours. It's literally people samefagging and circlejerking to keep them afloat.
I disgaree, the further DMC gets from it's RE roots and dedicates itself to the combat the better. I love DMC3 for example but the backtracking and braindead puzzles just adds a layer of tedium to replaying the games. I just want to fight stuff on the harder difficulties.
Isaac Parker

Caleb Martin
DmC took 6 years and still didn't outsell DMC4 kek >2mill 2 weeks >a flop

Cooper Hughes
You speak as if this changes the fact RE2 died
Brayden Campbell
I never see any DMC5 SFMs around, but it's probably because I'm not gay so I filter out all the fujo shit. I'm not trying to see Nero fuck V in the ass
Connor Murphy
You act as if memes or how many shitty troll threads a game has is an indicator of success and not sales. Stop being a buffoon.
Nathan Hernandez
> asked Itsuno after all budget spent on ugly mo-cap instead of good levels
Hilariously enough, Nico who everyone was iffy about as first has more lewds produced recently than Claire or Ada.
Jace Morgan
Again I blame it on how much shittier and wonky (aside from Ada) the characters look, Leon and Claire are repulsive and globina compared to all DMC characters save trish. You actually have to cherrypick pics of Leon to find one where he does not look like a babyfaced trans male. Dante and Nero shit on him and it's not even close
What are you talking about, retard? Nuro is donte 2.0, Lady and Trish are fucking ruined, Vergil looks like milkshake addicted. Only Dante looks not bad of all old characters
Seething All normie streamers noticed that Nuro looks like and behaves like Donte ....Same face expressions? ....Same eyes? ....Same nose? ....Same lips? ....Same temper?
they have to try and find pics making similar expressions far from the camera or looking to the side because they know structurally Nero has nothing in common with that skullcell kek.
So yes you are blind? Also if you're pushing this then what you're actually saying is that Donte is a rip off of Nero which means he's not Donte 2.0 you faggot

Sorry pal, you peasants will be relegated to shitty Generations games from now on out, the main games are going to PC + home consoles.
>I disgaree, the further DMC gets from it's RE roots and dedicates itself to the combat the better.
Dedication to combat and good level design are not mutually exclusive in any way shape or form. Just because the combat completely makes for the shitty level design doesn't mean that it's okay to have shitty level design.
DMC5 ain't perfect and you fags need to comment on that so that 6 can be even better.
Luke Collins
> 6 can be even better Maybe in 2029...
Ethan Scott
it's not perfect, still the best tho. 3's tower was atrocious as were more than half of it's bosses, and the retarded item fetching and backtracking
Cooper Jenkins
>pitting RE and DMC at each other Barry what the fuck are you doing? DMC literally came from RE
100% convinced these Capcom redemption threads are paid shills, like how can you be this much of a zoomer to not rememeber when Capcom didn't just releases one or two rehashes a year.
>"Capcom is doing pretty good these last couple years, hooray" >"Yeah but it was shit few years ago, so you must keep hating them!"
Asher Hernandez
DEmake 2 was trash and not a real survival horror and DMC5 fantastic, Capcom is clueless like always. I don't see any redemption arc until they release MegaMan Legends 3/X9/ZX3/BN7 or Rival Schools 3.
Kayden Morris
Capcom is best japanese company right now kiddo, i hope you're just pretending to be retarded.
I didn't say DMC5 was perfect, I also didn't say that combat and level design were mutually exclusive. I did say however that the further the game gets from it's RE roots (backtracking, interconnected levels and puzzles) the better. All that stuff is great in RE, where traversal is important because of limited resources but gets in the way of the high octane action DMC is going for, especially on replays. Could the game have better level design? Sure, but I don't think taking the RE school of approach like DMC1 or 3 did is the answer.
