I really don't know why I'm going on this anti DoC spree, oh wait now I remember. The game sucks compared to other action games, what was I thinking?

That's why you don't compare it to a other action games. You hafta look at Dirge of Cerberus like a final fantasy game, not a DMC. DoC Digs into Vincent Valentine's Background and explains a lot of things that were not explain in FFVII. It explains how Vincent and Choas became "one". The game has good graphics and an awesome storyline, and the replay value is great! Sure it has some downsides, but you gotta look past the downsides and look at the upsides. DMC 3 is a great game to but DoC Just as good, but with different qualities. I would probably give DoC a 9 outta 10.

It's the Guilty Gear of shooters! Five minute levels, followed by 10 minutes of story!

But in all reality, it's awesome.

How can I not compare an action game with other action games? If I was to look at DoC like a final fantasy game, then they should have made it like all the other FF games, an RPG. Square need to learn that their not good at making games outside the RPG genre.

Also the two sentences that I highlighted really boggle my mind, DoC just as good as DMC 3?
Oh and don't just take my word for it, the reviews speak for themselves: DoC DMC 3

Okay I'll agree that Square's should stick RPG but DoC was a pretty good idea. It was a new concept to the Final Fantasy games, the gameplay went great with DMC, and they were probably running out of ideas at the time they were making it. DoC was basically an expiremental game, if it sold well and got good ratings then they might have done again in the future. If it didn't sell well and didn't get good ratings then they would just stick with RPG. Personally, I don't think they will be doing it again.

Kay, think about it. If SE doesn't innovate, they might as well invent a plot generator and make games on a conveyor belt. Without major changes like DoC, people are only gonna want to buy FF for so long. Without innovation, you'll have that "I've already played this..." feeling. Dirge of Cererus was a bold new step for Final Fantasy, I only hope they make a few more like it.

I would say the game is okay but the one thing that bothers me is you can only carry so many potions and Ethers and etc etc. Pluz the story seems so fast-paced

DoC did nothing innovative for the action genre at all. Everything you see in that game has been done many times before and to a mucher higher degree of quality. Just because it was a departure for Square, does not mean that they actually made an innovative game. It seems to me this was nothing more than a FF VII cash in. People see the name on the box and buy it, not knowing wether the game is good or bad.
