Alright beat game with Dante

First part of final boss was neat in the idea of it, being every boss you fought (and even Griffon from DMC1) and as you rotate around it it does different attacks pertaining to what boss it is. The execution.....could have been better. Some of the parts were just annoying to hit with a sword so I had no choice but to use a gun on them + devil trigger. Second part had some cool moves but boy he was annoying to get chances at sometimes with how he would go for periods of time with no cooldowns between attacks. That pretty much made me, yep you guessed it, have to stick with my guns and whittle him down + devil trigger.

And now Dante is in Hell. Kind of a limp ending, but now it makes sense with the DMC5 trailer and him. So that's neat.

So final thoughts on this game.....yea it's rough. I was pretty open to it when it started but as it went on I started to see more and more of why it was bad. The one thing I absolutely WILL give it is that Dante's animations are still super cool. Dodging is super nice, Matrix wall running will always be welcome. Oh, and the environments for the game weren't the worst. They tried to mix things up and go for different ones, and I appreciate that. The cityscape near the beginning and the building you're climbing up at the end were nifty.

Now for the bad.....basically everything else. The upgrades are severely downgraded from DMC1, and they weren't even that much in DMC1 to start! You can't upgrade moves or anything, only upgrade your weapons and then buy items. Super disappointing. The swords you get seem to not really matter in which you use, they say one has a longer reach and whatever but I don't think it's enough of a difference. The guns they clearly put more effort into, and yea are super powerful for no reason. The gameplay ends up being mindless which I enjoyed at the beginning but as the game went on I liked it less and less. Like it's serviceable but yea for a series like this, definitely not ideal. There are multiple bosses that are very poor. The story like I said earlier, really just got rushed on towards the end. Very weird. Dante himself has most of his character sucked out of him. He gets a good moment here and there but mostly not doing much.

And I still don't really have much of an idea about who Lucia is. I assume that would get slightly filled in if I play her story.....but I'm not sure if I want to. I'll think about it.
