God of War (2018)

Probably either Bayo 1 or DMC3. Both really great games, mind you, but plagued with problems that drag down their strong core combat systems, more than NG04/Black for sure.

Half of DMC3's enemy & boss roster is just not fun to fight, especially on DMD. Bayo has half a dozen "THAT Part"s and has maybe one or two boss fights that are any good with the rest ranging from tedious to terrible.

I can't

How about this;

GOW, DMC, Ninja Gaiden are all equally great for different reasons and deserve your time if you are an action gamer with time to spare.

i think we can all agree that ninja gaiden is infinitely superior to dmc right?

DMC3 by a country mile

There is no action series in existence which is more overrated than Ninja Gaiden

Are you one of those retards that thinks overrated equates to bad.

You're too sensible for this place

I always preferred Shinobi and Nightshade to NG.

And this kids is what it looks like to get filtered. Don't make the same mistake.

How can they be overrated if they created and defined the entire genre?

but my favorite game is better than your favorite game?

Which game are you talking about? DMC3 and DMC5 certainly did not do this, that credit belongs to DMC1. The question in the OP was overrated individual games, not overrated franchises.

Bayonetta: Game is just fast paced GoW with a cool looking dodge and shit ton of shitty minigames and qtes
MGR: Same as bayo, but with a parry so broken it destroys the higher difficulties
DMC: Every new game makes the later ones literally useless, DMC 1 and 3 have aged a lot. 4 is an unfinished game and 5 forces you half the game to play as V in linear levels
GoW: Is just GoW, i don’t need to explain why’s that bad
Ninja Gaiden: Shitty plataforming, shitty force section like water levels, Rachel missions in Sigma. Literally can beat the game with Izuna Drop

Now we are going to compare these shitty hack and slash franchises with a real good game which is pic related
>Game is full of combos and moves, each level consist in 3 arenas of enemies. Gameplay combines the best stuff about the hack and slash genre. Every enemy is different and you gotta be caregul with the enemies that throws projectile because it may break your rank
>Instead of shitty forced minigames, half the game also consist in playing a motorbike level which is as god that can also be used for a racing game. You motorbike is so badass and in each new arc you learn a new power for your bike, so it never gets old
Learn to play a good game, faggots

This post is bait btw

Shinobi is great, the killing combo mechanic makes the game super fun to master and the levels are linear and simple but challenging, its just straight forward action instead of having puzzles and keys and upgrades. It feels like it was designed like a nes game, that you can just pick up and play and you will have a great time.
but come on, its far from NG

nuGoW isn’t an hack and slash but an action adventure game with rpg elements

DMC3 definitely did with quick switching weapons they became a staple of the genre
And DMC5 almost single handedly revived interest in action games after they were dead for a decade

>It feels like it was designed like a nes game
More like an arcade/Genesis game. I always appreciate more arcadey game design.

You may admit your post is bait, but that game is the only DMC1 clone I can think of, and it does an admirable job. Also the motorcycle sections are good and better than Bayonetta's Route 666 by a large margin.

God of War should be the obvious answer.
I honestly don't understand why it's even that popular.
Must've been the titties.

Without a doubt Devil May Cry 3. That game is propped as the literal holy grail of the entire genre but its littered with awful design decisions in the way it handles the harder difficulties that it completely ruins the experience by Dante Must Die. DMC3 is the only action game that fundamentally gets worse the higher difficult you climb. No other notable action title has this issue. And spoiler alert folks, you're intended to play these games on the highest difficulty.

Not quite the same but everybody agrees that Revengeance difficulty in MGR is a meme since the moment you learn the parry timing you OHKO damn-near the whole game and deal with bosses in under a minute.

That's just an outlier though, DMC3's DMD sucks dick.

Quick switching weapons was a natural progression of the genre.

>DMC5 single handed revived interest in action games
>what is Bayonetta 2 that was the most well reviewed action game of the last 5 years

Stop trying to make up accolades to prove your point. Other action titles take virtually nothing from DMC3 onward in their design philosophies. DMC is all about shit enemies and expansive movesets. No other action IP takes this approach.

>You may admit your post is bait, but that game is the only DMC1 clone I can think of, and it does an admirable job.
I think is more of a GoW clone due to the two buttons attack and right stick to dodge, but you’re right is an admirable job. Only real problem, besides that is very repetitive and only 4 hours, is that the game became way too easy when you unlock the entire DT meter and max that move that kills all the enemies on screen. But honestly for a licensed game is way too good. Also the art direction in this game is fucking fantastic and unlocking Blade after beating the game is fucking based

GoW is popular because they took DMC and said “ok let’s get rif of the “git gud” autism, make it very easy, add a shit ton of blood and make it look like a movie”. Literaly the devs sid they wanted the players to feel like they were playing a movie

>Bayonetta 2
>the most well reviewed action game of the last 5 years
Then why is it universally considered worse than the first game?

oh boy its another dmc vs ninja gaiden fanboy thread

It held the fort down for licensed games being able to be good action games for a while (barring great 2D beat-em-ups from the 90s arcades and some platformers like DB Advanced Adventure). We have TF Devastation and Samurai Jack BTT now though.

And all that MANHOOD RAWR.
GOW is a literal power fantasy for teenagers.

>inferior to the original by most actual Bayofag accounts
>still two or three mechanics away from being God of War-tier
>released on a dead console
Cope, Bayo2fag

Shinobi isn't even in the same type of genre as NG DUMBASS! BZZZT IT'S THE DUMBASS ALARM YOU'RE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUMB AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT'S ME you know what. Fuck it. I can't do this anymore. All this shitposting. It's so pointless. Why bother? You like a game and that's cool dude god what the fuck am I doing? Shit.... Forget it it's over.

Because it isn't. That is your opinion. The general consensus is that the game fixed all the wrong things in bayonetta 1.

Every action game thread is DMC vs Platinum vs NG vs whatever else comes to mind. Meanwhile, every DMC thread is 1 vs 3 vs 4 vs 5 (featuring DmC apologists and 2baiters), every Platinum thread is Bayo vs Bayo 2 vs W101 vs Revengeance vs TFD (featuring Taro fans praising Automata and Madworldchads), every NG thread is Black vs 2 vs Sigma vs 3RE (featuring DOAfags and reminders that Dragon Sword & Yaiba exist), etc. etc.

This genre is nonstop infighting on Zig Forums. The only one comparable is Fighting Games.

No the general consensus among fans is that it's worse because of stepbacks in combat design(the only reason why anyone ever cared about Bayonetta)
Have you never been in a Bayo thread in the past 5 years?

this seems to be the shit opinions thread
OP is a cool guy
