Devil May Cry was never developed by Platinum Games. Only the first one was directed by Hideki Kamiya, who was then known for directing Resident Evil 2 and would later co-found of Platinum Games. Other than that, I'm not sure if the original Devil May Cry had any connection with Clover Studio, let alone Platinum Games.

Interesting, i'm a little on and off about him but no doubt the guy is a hack n slash wiz. When it comes to other things like overall experience this is where it turns to GOW.

GOW revolutionized how people thought about hack n slash. When people started making AAA hack n slashes they finally tried making a action packed storyline that of course was a work of fiction but had at least decent plot evolution. Sony changed the way people thought a hack n slash could play and changed the scope of to one of a game that could have a story work in unison with the gameplay rather than uneven like the games which came before. It let the gameplay fit the tone of the game rather than forcing it to overpower the story. 

This gave way to games like Dantes Inferno (which EA ripped off Sony badly, but whatever) and Star Wars the force Unleashed (One of two Sony games Lucas Arts ripped off). It became the viable option for which a game could be done properly. 

In essence if Sony was given the power of Raiden I think thats the closest we would've gotten to a well told story about Raiden with great hack and slash to boot which fit the story. I love Platinum and I cannot wait to play Bayonetta 2.

Lawlight said: WhiteEaglePL said: I would say Devil may Cry because Platinum are masters at Action games, and Hod of War is too violent and bad impersonation of Greek/Egyptian/Norse Mythology. Yeah, Legend of Korra sure is a masterpiece.

It really is, all things considered. A licensed game by Activision, that had better combat than GoW, was developed in a few months with a shoe string budget, and was priced at $14.99.

Rated poorly by reviewers because they just wanted more Square Square Triangle, don't understand that a license game usually isn't allowed to change lore, didn't understand the lore elements that were there, and just sucked at the game.

Some of the complaints made me sit here for an hour trying to mentally choke their children in the infinitesimally small chance that the immutable laws of the universe alter at that split second and give me the power to stop their line before it continues.

"I had my powers locked out and need to unlock them, that's such a video game excuse!" Motherf*cker do you even watch the show? That's an actual problem the heroes face right now in the series. Whats more, yeah it's a video game element, it fits with the story and gives you a way to grow and it's in a f*cking videogame. HRRRRGGHFJNMGBFVSDC

We should call it the Activision challenge and see if anyone else could accomplish as much with such constraints. I'd give Korra a 6.5 only because the combat is actually pretty good.

Better combat than GoW, huh?

Setting goes to God of War...mainly because I still barely even know what DMC's setting is.

Characters goes to DMC...if we can throw the reboot out. Neither game has a particularly strong, but old Dante sticks out to me as a lovable goofball who will be sorely missed

Better original game is DMC

More evolving...was DMC...though that might go in GoW's favor

Personally, I prefer the DMC games. Even though 2 and reboot were disasters, DMC1 and 3 were masterpieces, and none of the GoW games really stuck out to me as anything more than button mashers

"Setting goes to God of War...mainly because I still barely even know what DMC's setting is."

DMC4's setting was bad sure, DmC's art design is unbelievable.

"Neither game has a particularly strong, but old Dante sticks out to me as a lovable goofball who will be sorely missed"

This isn't Dante:

"Even though 2 and reboot DMC4 were disasters"

Corrected.

You're certainly welcome to your own opinions; DMC4's far from a perfect game, but I definitely preferred it to the reboot, which really felt like little more than a dumbing down of the series' mechanics and a pretentious story trying way too hard to be taken seriously.

While I apprecaite you may not be well versed on the series, DmC actually features more compitent combat mechanics than the fourth installment. Story wise is open for interpretation.
