Oh boy a place to put some of my bullshit

I like taking screenshots of things that stop and make me go "That looks really neat." Apologies for the quantity.

My mother's father served in France during WW2. He never talked about what he saw there to any of his nine children, but it fucked him up pretty bad because he delved heavily into the bottle and became an abusive recluse. Shot himself in 1973.

I'm not very good at telling stories, but here we go.

I knew a person back in pre CU SWG that played a Twi'lek dancer. Our friendship started one day when I came in to heal some of the wounds I had received out in combat while I was taking a break from being a medic. The person was a heavy roleplayer and got me into RPing as well. Their character had been a slave of the Empire and was captured in a raid after she joined the Rebel Alliance; she'd been tortured to an extent that rendered her completely mute and with several nasty scars all over. We became friends that first meeting and I eventually joined the Rebels because of her when I had planned on going Empire, following the cause of some former slave because of this bond we had formed.

We played together for about a year, interacting in character and talking out of character. One day, while we were out doing overt missions for the Alliance, a group of Imperials showed up and gunned her down. I managed to escape. At that moment, this person decided that this was how that character was finished; face down in a field on Dantooine, mercilessly shot to death by an Imperial ambush, begging her best friend to leave her and save himself. They deleted their character shortly afterwards and I haven't talked to them since; it really was like losing one of my best friends and one of the many reasons why I will always look back on SWG very fondly, though sadly.

Maybe it's time to finally play Persona 4. Picked it up after watching some of the Endurance Run because it looked really interesting but never got around to it.

That soundtrack though, MMM. Can't wait to pick it up.

Not at the beginning of the series, but it's increased exponentially since, culminating with Devil May Cry 4's which has an absolute shit-ton of depth.

I will give DMC4 it's due props, I had a lot of fun messing dudes up in that but I can't stay playing a game for combat alone, but for what it's worth I DID like that combat, but in comparison to Bayonetta it's shallow.

but

bayonetta is just dmc4 with an extra attack button

i dont understand

I can't take you seriously after this.

As a long time DMC fan, Dante's hair color in Dobol Moy Croy isn't even in the top ten of things wrong with this game.

Then please address what is wrong. other than the fact Date's Hair and looks have been changed for a reboot. Which the DMC series needs terribly. XP Please list ten. I do not say this with sarcasm, I really want legit reasons why this is so terrible.

The biggest one I can complain about is the gameplay. DMC is all about the gameplay, and despite what some people may argue, the DMC series has a mind bogglingly deep combat system; Ninja Theory probably does not get this. I can't comment on Heavenly Sword as I've only played the demo about once, but Enslaved just about played itself. The platforming was "push X here and watch your guy do a cool jump." No aiming, no input required by the player, just push the button and you succeed. It was cool to watch, their animations are almost unparalleled, and generally just visually NT's games look GOOD to watch. Ninja Theory gets cinematic action, they get making something impressive to watch, but they do not understand the complexity of gameplay that a "proper" DMC game requires. Just watch this.

I would put the full price of a game down on a wager that they will never have anything even remotely close to this level of depth in their combat system, and for me, that is why it will fail as a DMC game.
