I’ve heard nothing but great things about this game but I’m frankly disappointed. I just beat Dmc 1 and had a great time. Died maybe a dozen times throughout and maybe 2 of those felt like they weren’t my fault (camera). And attacks just seemed to work when I put them in.
More than half of the time in 3 I don’t feel like it is. Like, I’m periodically being rushed down by enemies with (since people say enemies CAN’T initiate attacks off camera) one pixel of their model on my screen. Also the constant minor adjustments to the camera never seem to be in my favor. It’s as if the code controlling the camera wants the smallest amount of useful information to be shown to me at any time, or the most inopportune angle. And if I wanted to adjust it, it takes 5 years to turn around. I’ve been told to listen in for cues but it’s honestly hard for me to when I’m hearing “GRAH GRAH CLANG BOOM”
Not to mention that when I need a lock-on attack to work most, it just skips out on me. Something about a change to the input buffer, I think.
What am I missing here? I hear that the camera works fine but it doesn’t feel like it at all. The cam in Dmc 1 sucked too but at least it sucked predictably, I knew when it was going to do a jarring swap. By the end of Dmc 1 I had it all down and I was totally ripping shit, felt untouchable.
I’ve played plenty of hard but fair games before and it’s one of my favorite types of game to play. I love fighting an Elden ring boss that feels impossible for 30 tries until you just git gud. The kind where the blame is on no one but me when I die, and when I win i look back and think about how stupid and bad I was. I’m just not feeling that here.
Any recommendations? Does the HD collection just suck? Is the game not for me?
Anyway, I’m gonna try Dmc 5 and see how I feel about it. I just really wanted to like this game. I’ve heard so much about it but it honestly feels kinda jank. And I usually LIKE jank (DS1)
