What went wrong?

Everything

lol no

nope. NG2 just shits all over DMC1-4. DMC4 would've been good if Dante had cool weapons.DMC3 dante had nunchucks, electric guitar and duel welding elemental swords to shitty half baked shit like Lucifer. NG2 gave Ryu cool shit like tonfas, duel swords, falcon's claws, kusari-gama and the Synche.

t. played the snoystation port

t. Dante fag

>juggling punching bags isn't engaging
Making cinematic kills isn't either. NG2 also had some of the worst bosses put out in an action game.

The 2nd half. But it's still a better game than DMC5.
3>1>>

yet that webm still looks cooler than anything in DMC. the shitbosses do bog it down, however, i'll give you that one.

Decent flick even if Keanu can't act for shit but Pacino makes up for it.

bullshit of the highest caliber

wasnt finished

No

>yet that webm still looks cooler than anything in DMC.
It absolutely doesn't. The same gay jumping around bullshit that's infested every other Nigger Gaiden game will never look good you stupid faggot.

It looks amazing, you just have extremely bad taste. DMC4 is also a 1/2 of an amazing game. Pure fun.

>Inb4 dice game.

Those who hate dice game dont know how to play dice game.

Behold! The greatest action game ever made! Not to mention the shitty ranking system breaks on mission 8 and 10 where you have to avoid optional fights to not hurt your average style score

They should've listened to Bingo Mirahashi and make Nero an intelligent "Sherlock Holmes" detective-like character that was a lot more devoted to the order. It would've not only made him his own character completely different from Dante but it also would've made him a million times more interesting than being a punkish manchild caveman.

No! but my cool hat, and the enemies that just let themselves get hit! Also the popularity yes, that makes it better!

i still cant believe how good this was,enemies actually want to kill you and it becomes a way more intense battle

Haven't played the game, even the city streets are bursting with color. Stop being disingenuous.

Ninja Gaiden fanboy is mad that his franchise is in the wastebin of history. Everyone point and laugh! God of War is a daddy simulator now!

What are you going to do!?

This, the entire game is either gray fucking sprawl or fleshy corridors.
The only remotely okay location was m17 (or was it 18?) house but it was only for a fucking cutscene and then you fight Urizen for the 3rd time outside, which at the very least has a little blue and green color from the tree and sky (same for final vergil fight).

>Nope, just you. Also, yeah, that's the point of OPTIONAL fights, you can skip them.
what action game punishes your score for doing optional fights? shouldn't it add on? Doesn't matter if you get sss rank on those two optional enemies, it'll still HURT your average since it's judging you based on a mandatory fight with a spongy enemy from the last room. Sounds like a broken ranking system to me.

Ninja gaiden one looks cooler.
t. don't give a fuck about either series

It doesn't punish your score, unless you do badly. You'll learn about averages in mathematics when you get to middle school, but until then there's no point in refuting you because you simply don't know.

Also, no matter what, DMC5 is the best action game ever, God of War is a daddy movie simulator, Bayonetta is a Nintendo property, and Ninja Gaiden is a dead franchise.

That's literally not what the game looks like. I don't know what that screenshot even is.

I'm pretty sure it's from one of the early levels

lmao. Go do all the optional fights in mission 8 and 10 on DMD and see you if you can get the S rank. (you can't since the ranking system is shit)

They don't look like that. Someone cranked the contrast way up.

>Bayonetta is a Nintendo property, and Ninja Gaiden is a dead franchise.
how are those points relevant to the quality of the existing games? dmc isnt better simply because it had the most recent release

They kinda do. Not sure how you remember the game.

I played it today.

Because it's from photo mode with contrast cranked up to max. This early level can kind of look like that if you use reshade while playing in HDR mode.

Mission 3. It's literally what the game looks like. Here's Mission 2. I can post an image from every single mission and not one of them will be a "gray street." You're being disingenuous. Ninja Gaiden is and has been over.

It tried to be something different from the previous titles and ride the coattails of popular franchises in the mid 00s. The artstyle is closer to anime or Final Fantasy , the gameplay badly imitates God of War. On top of being unfinished, it doesn't even feel or look like a DMC game. It has to be intentional, even being unfinished excuses how utterly incompetent most of the game feels.

Okay, so it's grey with a red light.

>it's not a gray street
>Posts a screen of literary a gray street
What did he mean by this?

Nope, unmodded, base settings in 4k. Mental gymnastics. Ninja Gaiden is a dead franchise. Here's one of Dante's giant dick which pounds Ryu's dead franchise in the ass.

>The entire game is gray streets!
>Post one picture that's entirely blue.
>OMG THAT'S JUST THE CONTRAST!
>Post another that's red.

also forgot to mention that those missions were the biggest complaints about scoring when the game was new. Even great players were having trouble with it until they figured out that the optional fights were what was hurting their score.

No damage gives you a 2x multiplier to score. Anyone who's not S-ranking those missions is playing badly, not "being punished by the mean ole game." Again, it's based on averages. I know it's math and it's difficult, though, so I'm trying to let you have this one.

It's grey streets, and then it's bone corridors with coloured lighting, and admittedly the bone corridors look kind of cool, but I would have rather they weren't half of the game.

Still pretty bad, even DMC2 had more varied in colors environments.
Also not sure why you're getting so defensive while still posting modified photo mode pictures and not actual raw gameplay screens.

I pity the franchises who never experienced such blessing

Oh well then you'll be happy to know they aren't half the game, so when you actually play it, you'll be delightfully surprised. =)

>bone arena

Can't tell if you're trollin or not with this pic. Just post 3rd Urizen fight from photo mode since it's the most varied scene color palette wise.

>Everything is gray!
Post only 3 screenshots bursting with color.
>It's modded, clearly this is modded!
Unmodded.
>It's a modified screenshot, it has to be!
Directly from gameplay in the middle of gameplay.
>I CAN'T S-RANK MISSIONS AND ITS THE GAME'S FAULT!

You're just pathetic, bro. Even the promotional screenshots are bursting with color and light which Ninja Gaiden could only dream of if were still alive.
From picture mode.

and yet you can play just as good on any other mission and get the s rank easily, except for those two missions, makes you think if they even tested it. Your style goes down after every single mandatory fight on mission 10, no matter how good you do since the enemies aren't as spongy as the first fight with the queen empusa.

It's such a weird hill to die on - that DMC 5 ISN'T a dull looking game.
It looks absolutely awful. You can like the game, sure, but the aesthetic is terrible.

Disagree. I actually think Bloody Palace has some of the weirdest, worst, and sometimes best lighting in the game. The subway station and opera house level is also amazingly lit for some reason, but I don't have any screenshots from it.

Are you ok? Calm down.
Never said any of that and you're now contradicting yourself with saying that it's from gameplay while later admitting it's from photo mode...

Hey, I do have one!

Git gud and you won't have to worry about how "unfair" the style rankings are because you'll have a 2.2x multiplier on everything.

Its sequel destroyed the franchise
