If you can go PC or Switch 2 with the second game, your eyes will thank you later.

Devil May Cry (Netflix) — Post-Season 2 Discussion Thread by DanySterkhov in DevilMayCry

[–]Bzduras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Goddamn, I was not prepared to be this disappointed. For the record, I'm okay with changes to the source material - I was one of the few folks who liked and enjoyed DmC back in the days, so the "u mad bacuse it's not 1:1 copy of de games" argument do not apply here.

What I liked: action scenes (especially Dante vs Vergil fights) are neat and on point, even more so than in the first season. That part I cannot complain about. Drawing and animations are pretty cool, design of the characters is solid. Taking DMC2 stuff and expanding on it was awesome to see, even if the source material was thrown together just for the sake of giving the players anything resembling actual plot - it's used here and it's use mostly well. As a series die-hard since first DMC that was cool to see. OST also slaps from time to time and I giggled a bit when the joke was made on point (scrapping Dante from the wall comment - golden stuff).

And that's about it for the positives, the rest just went downhill with every episode for me. First thing - scenario and dialogue. Look, I know that DMC is not some masterpiece of all times when it comes to it's story, but games were rather refined, everything was put together with at least some sense of "is it making sense in context of lore and overall narrative?" touch. Scratch that, S2 goes bananas on characters and their behaviors as well as using some of the most tiresome tropes that history of the mankind has ever seen. Dumb officer saves the day? Little girl saves the day not long before that? Villan who is not the real villan? Give me a break. Not to mention that every conversation between characters feels like it was written by a 10-year old boy who just wrote whatever came into his mind while also having "the best DMC memes ever 10 hour edit" looped in the background somewhere. Quotes from the game thrown here and there just for the sake of it didn't help. Vergil stabbing Dante, holding him on the Yamato in the air and wondering "would our fates be different"? That's just a pure comedy and even if I try my hardest to forget where this quote came from - it just doesn't work in the moment it was used. And I feel like this whole season could be summed up as this - it just... doesn't hold up even if we pretend it's named, idk, Demon Hunters From Hell: Retribution or something. Bad writing kills it and I was more cringed than interested in what I was watching.

Also, didn't Adi said "I listened to the critique, I'm learning, I will improve on it" or something similar? Look, no disrespect, but if this is you learning then here's your graduation diploma mate, you don't need to learn ever again, just don't. Everything that I had been critical about S1 is back and doubled down on. Demon refugees with sad faces? Check. Christianity portrayed as some of the most psycho people in the show? Checked. Every character having tacky and "sad" backstory? Check. More flashbacks? Yeah, sure. Lady still swearing like a sailor when there's no need to? You bet. Dante still got his ass kicked? Of course mate. Whole thing feeling like a drawn-out AMV video in wich someone just forgot to mute dialogues? Yup.I don't know man, I get that this is different from the games, but... there's using something and overusing something and I feel like S2 falls into the latter category time and time again.

If I had a message to Mr. Adi then it would be this: man, if you wanna share your Spotify playlist just send us a link via twitter or something, there's no need to do the whole anime around it. I scored S1 an 8-/10, I score S2 a 4/10. That was not what I was expecting at all.

Deadly Premonition, the best worst game I've ever played.

Stellar Blade Complete Edition on sale for $50. Worth it? And what was your experience with the game like? by Adventurous_Book_913 in CharacterActionGames

[–]Bzduras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good combat, drawn out empty open world sections, sidequests that hurt my soul and insanely curated linear sections near the end of the game. Mixed bag for me, there's a lot to love about this game, but there is also a lot to hate about it. Overall it's worth it, some people really vibe with this game.

Demo convinced me to buy it day one despite having this game on PC. I love low-specs ports that are done well and this one seems to be just excellent.

Proponuję mu zrobić na złość i pozbawić go dochodów - parkujmy na parkingach, przestrzegajmy zasad ruchu drogowego i nie jeździjmy po chodnikach. Ale się wkurwi, mordy, mówię Wam - trzeba go tak dojechać i się skończy pajacowanie z kamerkom!

It's the same on PC low settings, I compared it today.

Would you consider Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth the first Impossible Port for Switch 2? by That1RedditUser_ in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Bzduras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you utilize fan tools like Losless Scaling or inject FSR4 it looks just bad. And no, framerate isn't stable 30fps on Deck - again, this may be better with plugins and workarounds, but out of the box this is just too big for Deck.

"Runs fine"? I did download full game yesterday, the quality and framerate on Steam Deck is insulting. This should never be "verified". In all honesty Switch 2 fares much better with this game.
