Forums - Sony - PSM3 reviews devil may cry 4

ItsaMii on 16 January 2008

The only bad thing in the review is DMC 4 being easier than DMC 3. So much for the hardcore ...
I love these games that say you are not worthy of playing them!!!

A score of 8/10 on the 360/PS3 is a great score, thats like an 9/10 based on last gen scores or an 8.5/10 on the wii. People expect perfection on 360/PS3 and they mark down alot if its not perfect, while the other systems have lower expectations and games score higher.

Nah I don't buy that at all. plenty of games can get 9/10 or higher on a 360. An 8/10 now is just as hard/easy to get as it was in the last generation.

That doesn't mean 8/10 is bad. 8/10 is good. Plus if you are a fan of the genre or series then DMC4 is undoubtedly a must have but let's not get carried away and say 8/10 on PS60 is not equivalent to 8/10 on Wii.


GH3 on the wii had mono sound when it came out, try putting that on the 360/PS3 and see what happens. Games with no MP will also suffer more on the 360/PS3 then if they came out on the wii with no MP.


The mono problem (which Activision said they are fixing soon probably with a recall) was discovered after several reviews were already in so it wouldn't have affected the score. And they would have patched it on PS60. Just like GHIII came out without co-op quickplay so it was patched immediately.

Again the MP/no MP issue is irrelevant and doesn't actually have a bearing on review scores or at least as much as you lead on. HS was marked down for its' length with many critics not the fact that there was no MP. Uncharted got a 89.7 average and some GOTY nominations without a multiplayer mode.

You're grasping at straws here. Stop claiming there's some skewed rating system where PS60 titles are judged more severely.

i really liked DMC3 because it kicked my ass time and time again. when i eventually beat it, it was great.

i'm in university though so video game purchases are few and far between. i will most certainly give it a rent.

you would take crappy wii games over this? This game is better than no more heroes and that other stuff.

What happen grand you use to be cool

I'm not even serious. I mean, I never even seen no more heros. To be honest, I just wanted to troll and see how people would react. It's no big deal, just me fuckin around.

not bad but not amazing
should sell to fan but move some system

Should help the PS3 in Japan when there are some advertising about the game (since 2 weeks)

 Eh, i'm not so sure about that DW6 will probably end up with a Metacritic score of about 70 and that moved some systems. (70 because they're likely to be impressed by the graphics. That is basically all that's changed from 5-6 aside from the elimination of characters or so i've been told.  Maybe i'm missing out on something else.)

Not a bad score, but I'm not expecting 9.5+ for this game since the series is 4 games in now, gameplay is bound to get stale.

@Kasz216: I wasn't too impressed with DW6 visuals (I've seen a few gameplay video's on GT), it's basically the same as the other games except with a littler more gloss and shine to the armour of generals.

 Still that's an improvement!  I mean the other DW games really don't add anything.  Fun games though. 

Either way, the point is... review scores arn't going to decide a system seller.

8/10.

Well, that can be a good thing or bad, but I really don't read PSM3. Do they rate their games higher than they should because they focus on PS or no?

I think IGN will give it higher than an 8. They like challenging games.
