Random DMC4 Thoughts
Now that I've actually read some of the info (look, I've been busy), and thus _have_ thoughts. The combo system sounds awesomely sexy - kind of like DMC3 and KH's bastard love-child. And there are some who are probably rolling their eyes at that, but I did find KH's combo system fun, just too easy. I don't actually mind the lack of style actions, because other than Dark Slayer, I never really used any of the style commands. I will, however, probably be a bit disappointed if it turns out Nero genuinely doesn't have any secret connection to Dante. Because then they're just sort of reusing character designs, and that's lame. I'm also definately digging the new scenery, particularly that it has more outdoor sections, and seems to have lightened up a touch from the overwhelming WoD-style thing they had going for a while. And...is Dante wearing the manbra again? Because dude, no. Shirtlessness is aaaaall good by me, but the manbra is just silly.
Oh, and Nero's gun has totally got me thinking about how that would be mechanically possible (which it would, pretty easily), and kind of hanging my head in frustration at the phrase 'vertically double-barreled' which to me just comes off as awkward - the usual terminology is 'over and under', I think, although that's in shotguns - I've never heard of double-barrelled rifles or pistols, although they may exist.
