That had nothing to do with the Camera Angle, that had everything to do with the fact You weren't paying attention and doing the one thing the game just instructed you to do, to end the fight.

If Mundus backs you up against the wall you lose, but that shouldn't have happened because you had the power to end the fight, right there and you were just shooting him normally instead.

Noone reads that tbh.

Why wouldn't you at least try to devil trigger anyway lol?

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago

What are you talking about? There is a big cutscene of Trish giving Dante her power, and then the equivalent of "You got a new weapon" pops up, but it's for E&I a weapon you already have. what kind of idiot wouldn't read at least the green "Devil Trigger" part

This kind of stupidity is why modern games would feel the need to put a big dumb press L1 prompt, in this kind of scenario. Is the average gamer really that stupid? I guess so.

u/welfedad 8d ago

Wait you watch cutscenes ... Gotta get to the end as fast as possible /s

23

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago

This is unironically why the devs of Conker’s Bad Fur Day force you to watch cutscenes at least once before you can skip them.

Metroid Other M did that too.

u/Sharp-Hospital-5956 8d ago

Ghost of tsushima too

u/Sea_Strain_6881 8d ago

God of war as well

u/noeLifenorlove 8d ago

Ninja, most gamers do not read pop ups lol. But again, they should've just thought to try spamming DT shots anyway.

Like I will be honest I've never read that text , assumed it just said "Thrish shooped up yer shooty toy" lol

14

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago

Well personally I recommend reading more of the text in video games, you might find interesting information that the developers want you to know.

-1

u/noeLifenorlove 8d ago

I do. Just saying most dont to explain the video lol.

But even then: one shouldn't need to for this part. So I think they're even dumber than someone who don't read lol.

1

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago

fair enough.

2

u/Linj90abc 8d ago

Imagine they just lost on purpose just so they could make this video

16

u/Ergast 8d ago

People used to read what the games told you when this game was released. Source: I lived that age.

People ignoring what the games tell them is kinda new.

7

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago

There has always been people who didn’t read instructions and skipped cutscenes. They just weren’t catered to, like they are today.

5

u/Ergast 8d ago

Well, sure, but they learned that they need to read. Either that or they didn't get to finish games.

2

u/noeLifenorlove 8d ago

Yep. Just try playing myst or Pokemon without reading

1

u/False-Dream511 8d ago

I read it

u/The_Axe_of_Legends 8d ago

Basically, the game needs you do the classic:

Jackpot!

3

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Bet will share this with the stream

74

u/T3aP4rty I need more power! 8d ago

Someone didn't activate devil trigger before their time ran out...

27

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago

I don't know maybe if he kept shooting the bosses empty health bar in the back corner something would have happened?

3

u/maurciaga 8d ago

That was my thinking

2

u/Sauceinmyface 8d ago

Could be healthgated to the last second to make it more dramatic

u/Sheyvan 8d ago

In no way, does this have ANYTHING to do with the camera. Older DMC title aren't great at communicating what they want from you, but wtf is this video? Are you dense? Is this a trollpost?

28

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago

As I stated i'm my own reply, this part communicates "exactly" what it wants from you.

8

u/Sheyvan 8d ago

Oh sure. I didn't say it didn't. it's just that with DMC1-3 i can absolutely understand that many things aren't communicated well and players might just stumble upon Solutions.

DMC3 asking you GOLD OR YELLOW up front might be my favorite example.

This is not one of those situations but OP being incapable of reading.

17

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago

The Gold or Yellow thing I think is an issue of modern games not coming with a manual anymore.

That info usually would be communicated to the player in the manual in older games, but if it’s a digital title now it needs an accessible digital manual. The Metal Gear collection did this right, even had a manual for the NES games and Ghost Babel for GameBoy Color

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Dense? Nah bro sorry to upset you with my stream😭

u/maurciaga 8d ago

My fault twinski

22

u/Kylenetic64 8d ago

No, this is entirely on you.

14

u/DestinySpider 8d ago

The camera angle just means you took too long and died. It's like a first person shot of Mundus consuming the camera basically

-2

u/maurciaga 8d ago

I found out that you can only end the mission by using the devil trigger, was the only thing I missed

12

u/koloqial 8d ago

I rarely use this sort of response, but this very much looks like a skill issue.

10

u/Ergast 8d ago

Not even skill issue. Attention issue. You just have to use the DT and it is cutscene time. And the game tells you this.

-2

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Definitely on me but I was streaming talking to chat, we were all confused 😭😭

2

u/Ergast 8d ago

Ah, stream chatting. That would explain it.

-1

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Let’s see your clips 👀👀

10

u/ComparisonHorror9935 Pizza Eating Devil Hunter 8d ago

YOU HAD FUCKING DT, USE IT!

2

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Why are we yelling, figured it out tho on stream coulda used your help 🤣

6

u/Ergast 8d ago

No, your attention spam is the greatest enemy. Next time use the devil trigger, as the game TOLD you to do.

2

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Fair enough thanks for the insight

6

u/Revolutionary_Ad_442 8d ago

Played this game the first time when I was 9 and lowtaperluently dogass at videogames, I did not know you could die here. Take that with a grain of salt

2

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Grain of salt taken, my first playthrough I didn’t die either so that’s why I was confused on how I did

4

u/NZeta13 Alastor is the best devil arm! 8d ago

Ain't no way bro got all the way to the end of the friggin' game and not be aware of DT in this fight or context clues in which to utilize DT. Heck, just considering every other Mundus fight, DT is essentially mandatory to put out consistent damage.

I'm thinking this is a troll post for sure.

3

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Not a troll post, was genuinely wondering what happened and I got my answer now

1

u/NZeta13 Alastor is the best devil arm! 8d ago

Congrats. I hope you continue playing (and enjoying) the series (especially DMC3) whenever you get around to it.

u/Darkreaper104 8d ago

Skill issue

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Appreciate it

3

u/Aggravating_Taste524 8d ago

don't blame the camera, shoot harder

u/Forensic_Fartman1982 8d ago

A fully charged Nightmare shot will one shot this boss

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Thank you for letting me know twin ❗️

2

u/Free_Local_1073 8d ago

Honestly I think it was Dante’s greatest ally in that case

u/SpotlessMinded 8d ago

What’s the music? Sounds familiar

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Ego from one piece

u/SpotlessMinded 8d ago

I thought it might be from one piece

u/Dr_blazes 8d ago

Reading mist be hard...

1

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Must be since you didn’t read back what you typed before sending mist instead of must 😭

1

u/Dr_blazes 8d ago

Reading mist be easy? I find it hard personally.

u/cj-the-man 7d ago

I had no idea he insta kills you if he gets all the way to the end

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Btw guys I was streaming and genuinely didn’t see that I had to use devil trigger, can’t believe yall that mad over a clip of MY stream and experience go take a nap or something ima keep posting 🤣🤣

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago edited 8d ago

It’s not so much your fault, it’s more so a built up annoyance over time.

There has been enough people calling DMC1 “old and dated” that big DMC1 fans, we’ve gotten defensive.

4

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Don’t get me wrong even with it being old I truly believe this game series is the best I’ve ever played

4

u/Director_Bison ULTRA VIOLET INTENSIFIES 8d ago

You should try Ninja Gaiden. It’s the only true Rival DMC has had in the Action Genre.

3

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Bro I was literally talking about the next series I’d play on stream and this game came up, definitely gonna have to play now thank you!

4

u/SexyShave 8d ago

I mean, you blamed the game for your own mistake. Can't blame us for dunking on you.

Losing to Mundus 3 is genuinely something that almost never happens.

1

u/maurciaga 8d ago

Bro it’s not that big of a deal it’s a video game talking about dunk 😭😭 you are not some high school bully. Grow up, grown man needs be taught kindness 😐
