Was thinking about Lost Planet 2 the other day by Capcom and how much I enjoyed it. I didn’t get the chance to play it co-op or multiplayer but Lost Planet 1’s multiplayer was fun, especially the mode where you can be an alien and fight snow pirates. I think the west just wanted another Gears Of War clone, and even though 2 took a lot of inspiration from Gears (it even featured it’s hero as an unlockable character) wasn’t enough and critics and players panned the game. It’s hard today to find anyone even playing it anymore and it seems to be dead. Shame.

      Came here to post that lol.

      It was my intro to the franchise and the accessibility people ragged on it for “dumbing down” mechanics was why I was able to get into the other entries.

      The edginess was over the top in a hilarious way.

      Combichrist and Noisiadid an awesome job on the music!

          People ragging on the “accessibility” need to get a fucking grip. There’s difficulty settings for a reason and Dante Must Die difficulty is hard to get S ranks on so like chill.

          hard agree

          I played 5 and honestly just didn’t enjoy it like I did DmC. The arm grabber on Nero felt like the angel and devil pull in DmC which was nice though.

          have you tried 4? Nero is the MC and he has grabby stuff in that one too.

          pause combos

          agreed, it feels badass. If I wasn’t a fanboy for edgy twinks Dante’s combos would have been my favorite part of 5.

          Lmao everyone kicked off call it edgy and cringe but like neo classical metal isn’t also incredibly camp and has an edgier outfit? I get its not what the fan base wanted but it’s what I wanted so ha ha 😈

          lol, I admit to liking the “donte” memes but yeah…the series never took itself seriously and thats a good thing.

          The music was so good omg, vigils theme how it slowly builds as they are arguing before the fight starts and how the whole boss theme just feels like tension, grit and suspense. Dmskdmwkfkwfk3kgkekg I’m such an emo still clearly lmao.

          I still listen to combichrist when I’m lifting lol. All that emo edgy shit just gets the blood pumping. I don’t think I’d like 5 as much if the character themes weren’t so far up my alley. I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING (Virgil, my ultimate problematic fave. He can have a little nephilim supremacy as a treat)
