IX is the best game in the series and the ability system is probably my favorite in any RPG.

Slow battle speed is the biggest complaint, but setting it to fast mitigates most of that problem for me personally, and in the remasters you have turbo mode which completely removes the problem.

The song that plays while customizing a hostess is top tier.

5 is also worth revisiting on some point on the next difficulty up. It feels really tuned to account for you having a decent chunk of upgrades from your first run.

Plus Nero keeps his upgrade from the final boss fight so his kit is even more expansive.

It's not stanning; I haven't played an AC game since AC2. I've just literally never heard it referred to as a bad or unpopular game. Quite the opposite, in fact.

This. Black Flag is widely considered to be a top five and even top three AC game, and that's not just a GameFAQs or B8 thing.

Aw, I can't see that at all. It's a sidequest-heavy title with.a goofy but incredibly determined main character that focuses on character development over its overly-serious plot with passable action gameplay and really long cutscenes with really good graphics. That's Persona, Mass Effect 2, Phoenix Wright, Nier, Metal Gear, and your choice of an action game all in one! And now it's turned into a JRPG in combat instead of just in structure!

This. Yakuza is B8 territory in a big way.

Oh, it's the guy responsible for making the ''bad'' Devil May Cry games. No thanks. Moving on.

wut

Itsuno made 3/4/5. He was the listed director for DMC2 but was only brought on the project with 4-6 months remaining and with the original director and team only having finished environmental and enemy art + the Stinger animation, which was the worst Stinger in the series. He managed to put something together in that short time frame and then begged Capcom to let him make DMC3 and specifically tried to make it as good as possible so he wouldn't be known as the guy that made DMC2. We also still don't know who the original director was.

You should really give Dragon's Dogma a shot, I think you might like it.

Sony and Disney never had a 50/50 deal. Super erroneous reporting if you read that. And I was mistaken, Disney wasn't even getting 5%, they were getting 5% of the first dollar gross only + all merchandising revenue. Merch would be a pretty penny.

https://variety.com/2019/film/news/sony-marvel-tom-holland-spider-man-1203351489/

The terms of the old deal were pretty well known IIRC.

Yes, in regards to the movie rights.

Sony was making 50%, as part of the contract, and Disney came back later when the movies did well and said "OK how about we just drop this down to 10% for you instead", and Sony rightfully said fuck you.

That whole situation was on Disney.

Not true!

Sony fought to get the right back because Disney wanted to drop this down to 10% for Sony instead. That was the whole issue.

This isn't true and was just an unverified rumor that a lot of people blindly bought into

Their initial deal had Sony footing the bill but also making almost all of the money off of Homecoming, with Disney/Marvel only getting 5% but being able to use the character in the MCU.

The new deal has Disney/Marvel fronting 25% of the costs for a 25% cut and Sony is allowed to vaguely fold their films into the MCU and use Holland's Spidey to better market them. Disney/Marvel gets Spidey for two more movies before they have to renegotiate again, the 3rd Spidey and an unnamed MCU film.

It's not completely known what the initial offerings were during the new deal that caused both sides to walk away, but the strongest rumor is that Disney/Marvel wanted a 50/50 deal.

If you ever end a combat scenario with V with an S rank quickly taunt before it goes away and let it play out. He has one of the best taunts I've ever seen but it's virtually impossible to enjoy with enemies around.

The hostess club minigame could totally be sold as an expanded mobile game and I'd be into it. It's so good and the music while you customize your hostesses is incredible.

As for Kiryu's Beast style, it's amazing when you have items around to abuse the auto pick up with.

Outer Wilds got quite a bit of hype but also definitely got mixed up with Outer Worlds.

Control is super cool and in my top five for the year. It's from the same team that did Alan Wake and is in a similar vein of paranormal third person shooter but this time you also get powers. I really dig the lore and the world it's set in and want to see more of it.

Can't speak on Apex as it's not my thing but I'm fairly certain it's still popular.

Got through mission 8 tonight; it's nice these games are so short. I will probably invest more time when I get to 5 if it has bonus features like alternate characters.

The main reason I was checking out DMC specifically is because I've been going through a best of 2019 list where DMC5 was highly ranked and have always intended to try out the series. 2019 in general has been a weird year for me; Sekiro and Outer Wilds both feel like games I should have loved but found them more frustrating than enjoyable (Sekiro especially, after loving Dark Souls and Bloodborne...). So, I'm essentially still looking for my personal GOTY for last year (I also got Resident Evil 2 in this sale)

DMC5 was my favorite game last year!

Curious to see where you end up falling on the love it or hate it scale for one of the three playable characters.

Just a way to differentiate him from standard Dante.

It's also a reference to the Spanish dub which is the best thing to come out of DmC.

Personally I much prefer DMC5's aesthetic as it morphs from Not London to demon tree. Don't mind the lack of variety and when it comes to DMC gameplay is VASTLY more important than aesthetics, and DmC is frankly kind of boring to play.

V is hit or miss but I personally think he's dope.

For the last boss you're supposed to grab him out of his lunge with the Buster to finish him.

There's actually several things you can Buster that you just have to figure out. For instance you can catch Credo's spear throw and toss it back. Timing's super strict though.

Credo is definitely the best boss in the game.
