I wasn't sure whether to post this or not because im bound to get ripped to shreds lol :) but what the heck. Im finding Devils Third to be rather entertaining. Now this isnt buyers justification or anything, because Devils Third was always day one for me regardless of its quality for collection purposes, but gladly for me its turned out rather fun. Dont get me wrong, at times the framerate can take a right dive and the odd awkward moment can lead to frustration. However the melee and shooting is done quite well and its clear to see what Itagaki was trying to achieve. The graphics aren't the best, nor are they disastrous either and character models look quite good. What Devils Third does do well is complete over the top non-stop action, like a cheesy Expendables movie and I have been smiling throughout my playthrough. Best thing is I haven't tried out the games saving grace, which is its multiplayer so im looking forward to that. Devils Third isnt the best game to grace the Wii U, nor is it the worst, to me its an entertaining little distraction which im glad I took the plunge.

Ha ha, I think we have merged into one person.

Good for you and the other 4 or 5 wii u owners that enjoy this game.

Thought this was a spurge thread...

Yes, im in good company :)

That's the bit I'm interested in, what collection are you undertaking that makes this game an essential addition?

Given 3 critics on metacritic have scored the game 7/10 or higher it's not surprising that some people here will like this game. It's the good thing about art, there will always be someone who likes what you make, even if they only like it ironically.

Yes. *Points to the reviews of the Ps3 version of Skyrim*

I'm glad someone can find enjoyment in it, even if I may not.

Keep in mind that was back in a different time where hardware limitations were heavy and pushing the envelope often resulted in issues.  It was a pionering game, the early ones always have the advantage of not having points of reference to be compared to.  That and what was considered "acceptable" back then was different.  OoT didn't even run at 30fps

Personally, I always saw this game as a potential B-Game.  Much like B-Movies, B-Games can be fun.  I Two Worlds 2 is definitely a B-Game that many enjoyed.  But anyone can sit down and pick it to pieces.  I wouldn't rate Two Worlds 2 very highly or give it any awards, no way.  Same wtih B-Movies.  There are some fun ones out there.  I watched Shoot Em Up once.  The writing was poor, the dialogue was cheesy, and the "political commentary" (forgive me writers who have *actually* done good political commentary, I had no other words to describe it) wre cringeworthy oftentimes.  But it was amusing for its absurdity and crazy action.  And that's perfectly fine.  And I would never rate it highly - not in a million years would I give it higher than a 6 - but I had fun with it and there you go.  That's also fine.  People need to understand, having fun with something doesn't make it necessarily good.  I have played Mount&Blade for hundreds of hours.  That's a B-game through and through.  It has a 6.5 to 7 on most sites and I couldn't agree more.  But I enjoy it a lot and I'm perfectly ok with that.  Critique is about pointing out strengths and weaknesses and evaluating based on that.  Not just on whether you had some fun.  

The "it's expected" trait grants points to games for things that would otherwise dock them, like Souls games being unnecessarily annoying or Bethesda games having bugs. This game doesn't have it.
