About Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening is a prequel to the first Devil May Cry. The game plays very differently from its predecessors, as it puts much more emphasis on style rather than simple demon slaying. As such, combat is much more intense and faster than before. An all-new Style system that allows you to select your fighting style has also been incorporated.

ELO progression

Score moved from 1,500 to 1,739 ELO points over the last 170 days.

    compared to Gears of War it just feels like a different universe entirely, one is all cover and grunting and the other is pure style points, and honestly I think that contrast is why people keep putting them against each other in duels, it never gets old for me.

    Je me souviens surtout d'avoir enchaîné les styles au hasard la première fois, sans comprendre ce que je faisais, et d'y avoir pris goût direct.

    I keep seeing this ranked so high and I just don't get it, the camera fights you as much as the enemies do and nobody wants to mention that part.

    La caméra, moi c'est surtout le clavier qui m'a posé souci au début, mais une fois la manette en main ça change tout, alors que sur Batman j'ai jamais eu ce souci.

    la cámara raro que la mencionen tanto, a mí me molestó al principio pero luego ni la noto, cuestión de costumbre creo

    Lo jugué siendo bastante joven y el sistema de estilos me superó por completo, aunque la dificultad me marcó para siempre.

    Marqué à vie par la difficulté, ok, mais est-ce que ça justifie vraiment sa place si haut au classement ?

    Recuerdo alquilarlo un fin de semana entero y no soltar el mando ni para comer.

    Ah sí, el juego perfecto que todos alaban pero que la mitad abandona en la primera pelea contra el hermano. Curioso cómo eso nunca sale en las conversaciones sobre su puesto en el ranking.
