TRUTH!
Well not until about half way through Dante Must Die mode it's not.

It's been almost two years since I played through that game. I'll give it another go, and see if anything's changed.

| I probably would have enjoyed Devil May Cry, even with it's totally insanely stupid difficulty, if only they'd given you three lives to continue with every time you died. I hold it against games games when there's a chance I could spend hours getting nearly to the end only to find I've used too many items to beat it. I HATE the concept of beating a stage, and then saying, "Shit, continued too many times," and having to restart an old save. That kind of difficulty just strikes me as onerous - either you fuck yourself at the end, or you're so prudent you arrive at the last stage with way too many items. It doesn't seem like an organic process and I don't understand how some people can find it enjoyable. Using Saves to go back in time and repeat events to prevent gameplay calamities arising from a lack of supplies should not be a required part of an action adventure experience. |

She's apparently never had to manage memory card data before. |
My wife is playing Magical Melody too. She is really enjoying it. Where did she end up picking to put her house? |
So, uh, can someone tell me about this new Harvest Moon game? I think I'll buy it and Outrun once my movie is done. I've been in the mood for some mindless repetitive farming action!!

Well, you do realize that you can BUY extra lives, and that most of the stages are so short that continuing is a big problem anyways. When you get to a point where you're at a tricky point, it pays to buy a few extra lives to get you through.
I usually go through the game on zero lives.
Also, I totally agree with Wes RE: ninja gaiden vs. DMC3.

| I think I play more videogames than my boyfriend. And I'm definitely way more into the whole gaming culture than he is. He's definitely more thorough with the games he does play though; I don't finish a lot of games, whereas he makes a point to get and do everything in a game. |
