Has anyone used Lady or Trish in DMC4SE yet? I'm a little worried they don't really feel like complete characters. Vergil will probably be fine I'm guessing.

did capcom say they are going to make a sequel to either DmC or DMC4 depending on how they do in sales or did i dream that?

They implied that if DMC 4SE doesn't sell well there wouldn't be any more DMC games, yes.

Trish and Lady have several borrowed moves. That said they do both have a few new ones and the moves they copy have completely different properties.

For example, Trish has a gauntlet moveset but only when she throws the sword. Her charged punch not only gain strength, but also shoot lightning beams. Stuff like that.

considering this game was balanced before this bullshit, I guess it's fine. God knows what will CRAPCOM! do if they release a new installment.

I don't think it's a big deal. There are a decent number of games out there with DLC like this, but it doesn't feel like it influnces the game design.

Ever played a mobile game? Once someone figures out that you can make more money if you do let convenience items influence game design this poo poo is going to be rampant.

really if they were going to do that it'd be by making health recovery/enemy damage consumables purchasable in packs
which would be fine since only stupid people who don't know character action buy those anyway

I can't think of any examples of non-mobile or facebook games that purposely hamper the gameplay experience to encourage you to spend real money on items in order to advance. I guess some F2P games maybe?

I'd say Bayonetta, but the PS3 version of it is apparently terrible. Vanquish, maybe?

the ps3 version of bayonetta is really bad, so i would suggest that you just go play resident evil 4

vanquish plays nothing like other platinum games but still rules as a shooter.

go with metal gear rising for a brawler imo

the new transformers game by platinum is coming out on ps3, and there's metal gear rising: revengeance and vanquish.

otherwise if you want platinum games your options are mostly going to be the wii u, with the xbox one and ps4 getting scalebound and nier exclusively each

i might do both, they don't seem like very long games. if someone wants to make a strong case for anarchy reigns they're welcome to, otherwise thanks for the input

Few questions:

1. So MGSV is somehow still alive enough to get released, despite, you know, Kojima having pussed out like a bitch?(#sarcasm)
2. Is the Oculus Rift either 1) ruining the eyes of thousands already, 2) Not living up to the hype (What hype was there?), 3) Going to suck as badly on XBONE as the Kinect did, or 4) all of the above?
3. Are there any earlier E3 threads of past years here?
4. How popular is Witcher 3 by now?

So what? do it again. Re4 owns so hard I bought it three times - GC, Wii, and 360. Was gonna buy the pc version too when it came out until I heard it was poo poo.

I'd totes grab a free one if I could and play it again and have a blast because the game is good and I think you should too

Decided to check out Soul Blazer because I heard the company that made it consisted mostly of ex-Falcom developers, so far it's pretty enjoyable.

1. It's the only Konami release in 2015, so everyone would have a good laugh if they went back on it.
2. Just take a good, long look at the lady playing Forza in a virtual room. The Ultimate Anti-Hype.
3. Maybe they're accessible via archives.
4. Witcher 3 sold pretty well at least.
