Ninja Gaiden 2. Although Devil May Cry 4 looks better graphically.

Devil May Cry 4, Ninja Gaiden's fighting is great, but it's way too much of the same for me.

NG2. DMC4 stinks in comparison. Heck, DMC4 wasn't so hot to begin with.

Devil May Cry 4, I just like DMC gameplay better but NG2 is a pleasant surprise. I'm finding the gameplay much more fun than the original. It seems faster and more fliud and it got a little more style to it albeit the "cool" factor of the gore seems a little borrowed from God of War. But it improved gameplay wise alot of NG1/B/S. Though the story is pathetic and the graphics look like something from the first Xbox. In those regards DMC4 made the jump to this gen better. They are pretty close but Devil May Cry I think has it beat overall.

I'm more than half way through with DMC4 and just completed NG2. NG2 is by far the superior game with arguably the greatest combat engine ever made. The difficulty is up there but the game is amazing.

Have you actually played it or played it at a difficulty higher than easy? The harder difficulties in DMC games is pretty much on par with NG. Hell the original version DMC3 was way harder NG. NG at least has save points, in DMC3 if you died and didn't have a gold orb (DMC equivalent of the NG talisman) you could be redoing sometimes up to an hour of gameplay depending on when you died. The stakes were much higher in DMC. 4's Human mode is a cake walk for sure but don't doubt the harder modes, if you try to just button mash your way through you will have your ass handed to you within a minute.

DMC4. Just got my dine in hell achievement finally. where as NG2 is cheesy in its harder settings. DMC is actually a fair challenge, definately boss fights. NG2 boss fights just seemed not up to par for some reason as much as I loved the new weapons. its hard to pick a better action game between the two but DMC has it even though you have to fight bosses 3 times and the stupid dice game.

A flop is a flop. average isn't good enough when it comes to the NG series. NG was amazing, why do people settle with 'average' when it comes to NG2?

i've played DMC4 & i've played the hell out of every version of NG, & judging by the reviews NG2 got, it's practically the same thing as NG except gorier. & you can say that for certain? you've played GoW3 already? GoW has always utilized a free form combat system, you can string together combo's with ease without ever pausing, unlike DMC4 or NG. i can switch from a PoP to a valor of hercules with ease. i'm sure SCEA will further improve upon it's already amazing combat system. until then, let's not say anything out of pure jealousy.

dmc4 was a piece of trash. i rented it a few days ago, played it on the normal difficulty (the one that says for those who has played dmc before, dont remember name), and, even with no experience with devil may cry games EVER, still managed to beat the entire game in under 7 hours and 30 minutes, including doing some (about half) of those extra missions along the way. I never died, ever. I wish they would have had harder difficulties from the start. ng is much better.

amazing combat system? LOL god of war is a mindless button smasher, that game is overrated , if i want to play a button smasher i go and pick my old DYNASTY warriors copy wich is the exact same thing, seriously i dont know why this game is that hyped, well maybe because is a sony exclusive, if it were multiplat it would be and average button mashy game.

what? :lol: let me guess, you've never played this game, and you're making stuff up to make yourself seem smart. no. try button mashing on titan mode. you'll fail. in fact, go to blockbuster, rent GoW2, play it on titan, & show me your final stats. i'm positive you have a PS2.. right? i'll be waiting for those pictures. :)

it's not a bad game, but i was expecting a 9.5 from NG2 looking back on NG's track record. getting a mere 8.0 is very disappointing.

theres no need to show you pictures when Even the guy who led the design on God of War's combat system has admitted the intention was mostly to seperate it from hardcore series like DMC/NG and speak to a larger crowd. He compared all three games' combat systems in detail in an article


God of War, unlike the other two games, allows for many Pre-hit frame cancels, and incorporates several of the methods found in the other two games. The main difference is that it is not trying to be a hardcore game from either a technical or flashy point of view. It's just smash-and-kill fun.Eric Williams


The rules for canceling are all over the place - but for good reason. Our intended audience does not want to learn the techniques. They just want the game to play the way they think it should, because combat is not the only focus unlike the other two games.Eric Williams


I own both God of War 1 and 2. They're very fun games, but they're simply not nearly as demanding as DMC or especially NG. GoW games are basically mindless fun, with accessible and streamlined action. Something to just sit back and play without really giving it too much thought. But DMC and NG keep you on your toes at all time. They're simply designed with different purposes.

i never said GoW's combat system was better then NG2's or DMC4's, i just said it allowed freeform combat which didn't require a pause in combat. it's not as intuitive as NG2's, but it feels more chaotic & it's easier to get a hang of. & again, i must disagree. GoW2 is not 'mindless' fun. have you ever beaten the game on titan mode? have you faced the hallway of doom on titan mode?

something tells me you have played neither...there is no doubt NG2 will have a better combat system than GOW3

i've played DMC4 & i've played the hell out of every version of NG, & judging by the reviews NG2 got, it's practically the same thing as NG except gorier. & you can say that for certain? you've played GoW3 already? GoW has always utilized a free form combat system, you can string together combo's with ease without ever pausing, unlike DMC4 or NG. i can switch from a PoP to a valor of hercules with ease. i'm sure SCEA will further improve upon it's already amazing combat system. until then, let's not say anything out of pure jealousy.



amazing combat system? LOL god of war is a mindless button smasher, that game is overrated , if i want to play a button smasher i go and pick my old DYNASTY warriors copy, seriously i dont know why this game is that hyped, well maybe because is a sony exclusive, if it were multiplat it would be and average button mashy game.

what? :lol: let me guess, you've never played this game, and you're making stuff up to make yourself seem smart. no. try button mashing on titan mode. you'll fail. in fact, go to blockbuster, rent GoW2, play it on titan, & show me your final stats. i'm positive you have a PS2.. right? i'll be waiting for those pictures. :)



theres no need to show you pictures when Even the guy who led the design on God of War's combat system has admitted the intention was mostly to seperate it from hardcore series like DMC/NG and speak to a larger crowd. He compared all three games' combat systems in detail in an article


God of War, unlike the other two games, allows for many Pre-hit frame cancels, and incorporates several of the methods found in the other two games. The main difference is that it is not trying to be a hardcore game from either a technical or flashy point of view. It's just smash-and-kill fun.Eric Williams


The rules for canceling are all over the place - but for good reason. Our intended audience does not want to learn the techniques. They just want the game to play the way they think it should, because combat is not the only focus unlike the other two games.Eric Williams


I own both God of War 1 and 2. They're very fun games, but they're simply not nearly as demanding as DMC or especially NG. GoW games are basically mindless fun, with accessible and streamlined action. Something to just sit back and play without really giving it too much thought. But DMC and NG keep you on your toes at all time. They're simply designed with different purposes.



i never said GoW's combat system was better then NG2's or DMC4's, i just said it allowed freeform combat which didn't require a pause in combat. it's not as intuitive as NG2's, but it feels more chaotic & it's easier to get a hang of. & again, i must disagree. GoW2 is not 'mindless' fun. have you ever beaten the game on titan mode? have you faced the hallway of doom on titan mode?



no i havent played titan mode yet but lets be serious here, 98% of people only play the default difficult setting.

God of War is fun but its mindless fun, DMC and NG require some finesse and at least a base understanding of the combos. GoW even on God or Titan still comes down to the mindless spamming of attacks and the same basic moves. Its a button masher, which isn't a bad thing, its just different. Its hard to say GoW blows the other two out of the water because GoW is at heart a button masher.

And the free form combat statement is totally crap. In NG2 switching weapons does pause the gameplay for a split second but doesn't go into the pause menu just an inventory bar which doesn't interupt your attacks. And DMC4, weapon switching and fighting style switching is totally on the fly and it can be strung together into your combos. So your crap statement shows its bias because you've obviously never played either game.

Boss fights in DMD mode on DMC4 are much better than the stuff NG2 has to offer, but NG2's regular battles are a lot more visceral, so...... It's a tie? I really liked the DMC4 bosses.

Ninja Gaiden only does one thing right, and thats combat. DMC takes the cake for everything else.

I thought DMC4 was very disapointing in terms of story and the fact that Dantes development was very lazily done. I still wish Hideki Kamiya was still behind devil may cry :(
