Apparently I was in the mood for action games lately, so I downloaded a couple to try them out. The names and the CAPCOMness were a fucking coincidence I didn't notice after today. I played one or two hours of each.
♦ Devil May Cry. Okay, it wasn't bad, but the monsters that attack you, particularly the creepy giant marionettes, freaked me out a little because I'm such a pussy. I will admit I got this one because it was Hideki Kamiya's baby, and I kind of needed to hear the original "LET'S ROCK, BABY" line in all its cheesiness.
Weirdly enough, I do want to play Bayonetta more, when it comes out. Maybe because the title megane lady looks lots more badass than Dante. Though I guess it'll creep me out, too.
♦Devil Kings Sengoku Basara. I know it's a lousy localization and all, but guys. The button mashing. I LOVED THAT BUTTON MASHING. It was such no-brainer fun, just hacking and slashing nameless samurai cronies. I went with Azure Dragon lol Date Masamune because I figured using a swordsman in my first play would be easier and he had more HP than Scorpio lol Sanada Yukimura. But anyway, this looks great for when I need to release aggressiveness, as long as I don't develop Carpal Tunnel.
Then I wondered what kind of anime would come from this kind of game, because at least the American version lacked plot and shit. So since they are only 12 episodes, I went ahead and watched the Sengoku Basara anime.
SO. MUCH. FUN. It's silly, hammy, full of lovable characters with impressive seiyuus. I wasn't asking much to it and it was a pleasant surprise. My favorite characters were Sasuke and Keiji, but Masamune and Yukimura are also love. The Shingen-Yukimura relationship is soooo adorable in all its dorkiness (OYAKATA-SAMAAA! YUKIMURAAA!). All thepunk Date clan devotion won me over, too. Oh, and it took me three seconds of the anime to realize I somehow managed to play with precisely the token CAPCOM Engrish character!
The HONESTY Box

I haven't even checked if there's a way for me to play the games over here .-. I should find out...
ICOOOOON!
Well, CAPCOM localized the first one (called Devil Kings, no idea why in plural, mind you), but it was crappy and they removed everything Japanese they could, and obviously bombed. I guess that with a modded PS2 there might be a way to play the original and the sequel, like I do with NTSC games.
