Am I missing something? I'm 20 minutes in and I'm just spamming circle. Are there more advanced moves? Reading the manual is not giving me anything other than dodging.

Nah, DMC1 has definitely aged a bit. The atmosphere and story are still alright, but the combat and some of the levels can be a drag. Also, circle canceling with the right stick sort of makes everything trivial, and if you don’t use it you’ll usually just want to play the better games in the series more. It was a fun work of its time, but it’s not as fun now.

yes you do get new skills/combos via upgrading in thee mission start menu or in those yellow statues of some animal holding an hourglass
anyway Reddit May Cry is a mediocre game and if you ask for my humble opinion i'd recommend you skip it entirely and go to the third game that's where the series becomes good and fun

Pause combos
You can pause slightly after pressing circle to do a different combo

It hasn't aged at all if you're not retarded
The only thing that has "aged" is the fixed camera angles that DMC3 also has. Game controls great. No clonk.

Nope, the fighting engine is pretty barebones. If you want an actually good PS2 bmup, go play God Hand.

Yes, but there aren't that many to start.
Just O,O, pause, O O
And O,O, longer pause, Mash O
That's it until you unlock new skills and weapons. DMC 1 isn't about CHURAZY combos like DMC 3 and later. It's kinda like playing a hard ass Arcade game that you can learn the ins and outs of and choose to do harder strats for fun like hitting Phantom's fireball back at him.

The aged meme applies to DMC1 way more than a lot of other games zoomers cry about.

>> No.8975415

DMC makes a lot more sense when you learn it was originally meant to be a resident evil game
