The combat still feels fresh honestly, and I keep coming back to it for that reason alone.

About Devil May Cry
Originally intended to be the fourth installment in the Resident Evil series, Devil May Cry is an action-adventure game that introduced a host of new elements to the gaming community. Chief among them is the Stylish Rank, which grades the player's performance in combat. The game is split into Missions, which are individually scored according to various factors, such as Orbs gathered and damage taken. Additionally, Devil May Cry did away with the pre-rendered backgrounds of prior Resident Evil games in order to allow for a dynamic camera system.
ELO progression
Score moved from 1,500 to 1,744 ELO points over the last 123 days.

mdr le classement recompense surtout la nostalgie collective je crois, on vote plus par reflexe qu'autre chose

Moi aussi je l'ai fini sans grand choc au final, un ami me l'avait prêté un week-end entier et je l'ai rendu le lundi sans vraiment y repenser après.

Contre God of War il perd en spectacle mais gagne en exigence pure, contre Force Unleashed ce n'est même pas un débat sérieux.

Le ressenti manette en main confirme ça, la caméra fixe casse le rythme sur certains passages précis.

Le système de combat tient encore la route aujourd'hui, il mérite sa place.

El sistema de combos envejeció bien, la cámara no tanto, pero eso ya lo sabemos todos aquí, lo que nadie dice es que las misiones tienen un ritmo raro, unas duran nada y otras se alargan sin razón, y aun con eso lo sigo prefiriendo a la mayoría de lo que salió después en el género.

Ma sœur trouvait la caméra insupportable, moi ça me gênait pas, on n'a jamais réussi à se mettre d'accord dessus.

377e depuis un moment, on tourne en rond sur ce classement, bon.

Je l'avais emprunté à un pote et je m'attendais à un choc, au final je l'ai fini sans grande émotion et je le lui ai rendu direct.

Pareil avec Path of Neo, l'emprunt, l'attente, et la déception qui suit, sauf que là c'était encore plus flagrant.
