@golguin: Actually you do get devil trigger from grenade shot.

I never said you don't. I said he was spamming his grenade launcher while ignoring his sword. He was also complaining about being unable to activate his devil trigger. Two different unrelated things.

I think it speaks volumes that my speakers were on the second lowest setting, and I still heard Brad scream.

Anyone think the new DMC is pretty easy? Compared to past Devil May Cry games I thought it was, at least going off of normal. While you could easily beat a DMC game on normal before I felt they at least provided some challenge compared to other games normal mode these days (aka, normal is mostly easy now).

I hate to be that guy, but Brad is really bad. He shouldn't be this bad at the game since he beat DmC, but I guess that's a testament to how little you need to know to beat DmC compared to the main series.

If he reaches DMC3 there is no way he'd get out of the first tutorial boss fight. Actually, will he be doing the true DMC3 or the easy special edition version?

I think my favorite part is that he's brute forcing his way through the game despite this incompetence, but what do you expect when they haven't played it for two months? It'd be funny watching him try to play DMC 3, that's for sure. I don't expect he'd get past Cerberus.

Greg Kasavin reviewed DMC3 for Gamespot and even he couldn't beat Cerberus without a huge amount of effort. I remember that the review was late because he couldn't get past that boss fight.

EDIT: Here we go. In the video review Greg says it took him 2 days to get past the 2nd level. The same 15 minutes over the course of 2 days.

Dunno, he might have a better time with DMC 3 the controls in that game are just waaaaaayyyy better than DMC 1. It might be an easier game to play with taking these long breaks.

All true, but this is kind of the point of this series, isn't it? Also, playing this game for an hour or two then stopping for weeks is not helping him (i.e. forgetting how to roll, air raid, etc.)

EDIT: also, pretty much every gameplay video on this site is similar, with the exception of Jeff playing fighting games.

It's the HD collection right so it must be the Special Edition. If he plays DMC3 though, he should play the PC version....

with only keyboard controls. :D

That's needlessly sadistic. I love it!

10:24 in, Vinny mentions my suggestion to buy Inferno, despite me seemingly being the least knowledgeable person concerning DMC in the chat.

I love this stupid website :D

I love that half the time Brad will stand there spamming the grenade launcher, and the other half of the time unknowingly cancels out of the shooting animation by either dodging to the side or jumping, but can't put two and two together.

DMC1 is a pretty basic game so if Brad goes on with the series I see him breaking down further.

To be fair, he hasn't played the game in over 2 months (and there was also 2 months between part 2 and 3). I don't think this is a fair comparison to how he played DMC since he played that game in a much shorter span of time compared to this.

That's true, but it still doesn't excuse spamming the grenade launcher and ignoring his sword and then complaining about being unable to Devil Trigger. The worst was Brad saying Air Raid wasn't working when he wasn't pressing RB in the air. Even Vinny called him out on that.

Keep in mind that the dude hasn't played the game but three prior times (aside from the times he played it when it first released which, re: how good he'd be at it is a moot point), and each of those times have been spread out across several months. And he's having to talk and commentate and entertain us as he plays (not easy).
