Was thinking about Lost Planet 2 the other day by Capcom and how much I enjoyed it. I didn’t get the chance to play it co-op or multiplayer but Lost Planet 1’s multiplayer was fun, especially the mode where you can be an alien and fight snow pirates. I think the west just wanted another Gears Of War clone, and even though 2 took a lot of inspiration from Gears (it even featured it’s hero as an unlockable character) wasn’t enough and critics and players panned the game. It’s hard today to find anyone even playing it anymore and it seems to be dead. Shame.

    People ragging on the “accessibility” need to get a fucking grip. There’s difficulty settings for a reason and Dante Must Die difficulty is hard to get S ranks on so like chill.

    hard agree

    I played 5 and honestly just didn’t enjoy it like I did DmC. The arm grabber on Nero felt like the angel and devil pull in DmC which was nice though.

    have you tried 4? Nero is the MC and he has grabby stuff in that one too.

    pause combos

    agreed, it feels badass. If I wasn’t a fanboy for edgy twinks Dante’s combos would have been my favorite part of 5.

    Lmao everyone kicked off call it edgy and cringe but like neo classical metal isn’t also incredibly camp and has an edgier outfit? I get its not what the fan base wanted but it’s what I wanted so ha ha 😈

    lol, I admit to liking the “donte” memes but yeah…the series never took itself seriously and thats a good thing.

    The music was so good omg, vigils theme how it slowly builds as they are arguing before the fight starts and how the whole boss theme just feels like tension, grit and suspense. Dmskdmwkfkwfk3kgkekg I’m such an emo still clearly lmao.

    I still listen to combichrist when I’m lifting lol. All that emo edgy shit just gets the blood pumping. I don’t think I’d like 5 as much if the character themes weren’t so far up my alley. I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING (Virgil, my ultimate problematic fave. He can have a little nephilim supremacy as a treat)

      I did and I dunno it was different which is why I can appreciate DmC wasn’t what the main dmc fan base wanted. Like none of the other games feel remotely similar in mechanics and I liked that lmao.

      We love our hot edgy Nero in 5 😍

      Micheal Jackson dance routine doesn’t take itself seriously lmao. There’s that moment all DmC fans have where they try to explain the campness to someone who’s like wtf?

      https://youtu.be/GBkaETCOgmg?si=r_zpZx_1TzOd8JtV this was the MVP of the soundtrack alongside virgils theme. As soon as it came on I just played better.

      5s virigl theme is incredible, like genuinely one of the reasons I caved and bought the game eventually. Its sooooo good.

      So full disclosure, first time I saw the 5 devil trigger trailer I was like “lmao if they hated DmC this cringe is going to incite them to violence” and it was adored and I realised having only played and liked the black sheep of the IP, I am not who they are making DMC games for lmao.
