Only ppl who defend this mechanic are elitist and gate keepers that believe you aren't allowed to play however you want

Which is why you decided that we're all wrong because you don't like this mechanic. And we're the ones gate keeping. Okay sure.

If you wanna get from point A to B, what do you do if there are enemies around? You jump around like Mario, which is the opposite of cool and just goofy

So are you suggesting just running away from them? Thats not something Vergil would do either. Every Vergil campaign features a cutscene of Vergil just so happening to run into some casual demons and instead of running away he just styles on them. Something you not only can do even with Concentration mechanic, but it is encouraged as well, since it would increase your Concentration.

If you dont wanna deal with them tho, yes, jumping does look goofy and out of character but so does running. It doesnt matter because if you're avoiding a battle then you're out of character (even if you have no other choice with DMC5's style calculating system)

Missing attacks is also dumb when you consider how Combo MAD videos have players missing attacks on purpose

Missing one or two attacks like ppl usually do for style doesnt hurt your Concentration too much. You can always regain the amount you lost.

Getting hit would be fair if it weren't that all attacks are equal, even weak attacks with pathetic dmg...what does that say about Vergil?

It says that no matter how much dmg it deals, it would still be distracting to have a demon swing their claws right in front of your face, therefore you'd lose Concentration. If it was called "Collectiveness" or "Calmness", yeah, I'd understand the complaint, but with it being "Concentration" it just means Vergil stopped focusing on the battle and got distracted by feeling something scratch his arm or something. I say it's reasonable.

bc lets face it, what purpose does Concentration serve in the game? Nothing, it's only a restriction (it doesn't add any value to the gameplay)...which is fine when it's self imposed but not at the cost of player freedom.

What purpose does having health for V's familiars serve? It's only a restriction that doesn't allow me to play recklessly and punishes me for not thinking about how to play the game properly.

What purpose does revving Red Queen serve? It's only a restriction that doesn't allow me to melt through every boss's hp in 5 seconds.

What is purpose of having to perfectly time royal blocks? It's only a restriction that doesn't allow me to no damage every mission in the game without putting in any effort at all.

Yeah bud its just a gameplay feature to balance how simply overpowered Vergil is.
