I have to disagree with you that DMC3 is repeditive, especially when compared to the Berserk game. In Berserk you hack through legions of mindless and almost identical enemies using the same set of comands the entire game. Sure you get some new spells and you can upgrade a few og Guts' attributes, but the gameplay stays pretty much the same. DMC3 has ten different weapons each with a diferent move set, six fighting styles which upgrade with new moves which far surpass the meager speed and power upgrades Guts gets, and a far greater variety of enemies. The gameplay is extremely diverse with a great deal of attacks that can be chained and mixed. In Berserk, you mash the attack button and steer untill you get the brand mark, then you do a brand attack. The heavy attacks aren't even worth doing. The graphics in Berserk are good at times, but the environments are bland and neither they nor the enemies improve in quality during the cutscenes, even though the characters do. The cutscenes really weren't that powerful, many of them were just the characters standing around talking. If the graphics appear in any way better in the cutscenes, it's merely because they're prerendered, while all the cutscenes in DMC3 are real time yet still are about on par with Berserk.trapped_soul said:hahaha. yeah aaz can you please move this to Berserk Miscelleaneous so that the "Berserk" entry is finally justified? yeah whatever. to each is own.
and as for berserk: the graphics and character animations are great - you get the feel of how it is to swing the dragonslayer, you can feel how massive it is. The cutscenes were powerful and the Boss fights are just plain fun with lots of great ideas. the movement and animation of the beast was well done.
i second you on that critics on the music although signI+II was Hirasawa at his best.
it's also true that the gameplay is quite repetitive but that also goes for SotC and your much loved DMC3, which i don't consider a particularly great game at all.
The original DMC was cool, but it's successors lack lots of the style and atmosphere of the first part.

P.S. i played MGS3:SnakeEater and decided not to put it on the list.
CaSan said:Sad fact is that the only game listed in this poll that I've tried is Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (My first impression of it wasn't all that great, but that's just me). The NDS has really dominated the time I've spent playing games as of late.
What's the point? the winner is clear upfront.Aazealh said:Well we can always make a best NDS game poll if you want. Or most awaited NDS game. Or both.

Well, has the most fans on the board at least; honestly, I'd place Dragon Quest 8 far above it, at least in how much I've enjoyed them.trapped_soul said:looks like shadow of the colossus is the best game, heh.
i thought the outcome would be different.
