So, I got Devil May Cry 3 Soooper Speshul Edition in the mail yesterday, as ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rokk_lobster brought it to my attention that I do not own it and have not played it and the fourth one is out for the X-Box 360 already. Of course I had to remedy this situation right away. I love the Devil May Cry franchise because it is short on substance and long on crazy silliness. But, it's been awhile since I played one or two, and thus I have lost my immunity to how ridiculous the game can be and spent the first fify-four minutes of game play dying and redoing the first two missions because I was cackling too hard to concentrate.
Where to begin? Oh yes, the second cinema, the one in which Dante is sitting at his desk like some Noir detective of old....and then he gets a phone call and slams his feet on the desk causing the receiver to fly from its cradle into Dante's waiting hand. It also lauches a piece of pizza from a box on the desk and when Dante is finished with his call, the pizza is caught in his waiting mouth....
Then some guy shows up...and the fighting starts...and wow. At one point, Dante overturns his pool table, sending the pool balls flying in formation into the air, then he pulls out his gun, shoots them and they all go spinning off to take out bad guys. Demon in the side pocket, or some other one liner equally as bad. Also, he goes and attemtps to play the jukebox, to you know, get the party started or whatever it is he says all the time, and it won't work and I was like thank god because that would be too much, but then he slams it like the Fonz and lo, it spews bad metal and we are treated to more cinema in which Dante miraculously fights while eating pizza and the pizza does not A) lose its toppings or B) make Dante's hands too greasy to wield sword and gun. I would like to know what pizza company that came from so I can avoid it because the pizza is most assuredly made of plastic. Did I mention he was shirtless through this whole episode? Well he was, and I would have drooled relentlessly, but well, it's Dante and he's so damn ridiculous.
And then Dante storms outside where yet another twenty to fifty baddies are waiting; He throws his sword into the air so he can put on his coat. But does he put it on like a normal person? Of course not, he does some weird swishing, swirling martial arts-esqe move with his coat; all the while his sword is in the air, mind you, and somehow, after like two minutes of gravity apparently not working, he catches his sword and proceeds to say yet more pissy one liners at the demons. And sneezes, thus bringing the buildings that are still standing on his street crashing down.
And I'm laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes and I can't hold the controller right. Needless to say I died alot. I totally forgot about those damn stoopid style points. I don't like doing combos because I'm the kinda gal that just likes to keep pressing the same button until everything is dead. So my hunter ranking is like D. Boo.
Anyway, I'm just putting it out there that I think Devil May Cry 3 is, as of right now, the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen or played. And I love it because it's awful.
