10 Simple Video Games That Are Too Brutal To Master
9. Devil May Cry 1-3
Anyone can pick up and play Devil May Cry. In fact, on the easiest difficulty settings, the game isnt really that much of a challenge; the combos are easier to execute, and even the enemies pack less of a punch. Eventually however, youll find yourself getting the hang of it; youll want more of a challenge, something to really test your abilities and put you through your paces. At which point, youll crank the difficulty up a notch, and then youll finally know true pain.
DMC is brutal, and utterly unforgivable; the most powerful combos are almost impossible to perform, and some of the enemies deal incredible amounts of damage with just their most basic attacks. Worse still: the game really emphasises style, actively punishing the player for any and all missteps - any miscommunication whatsoever.
If you value your sanity, accept that Devil May Cry is beyond mastery. Enjoy it for whatever its worth; play on whatever difficulty setting you can stomach, but just know, it cannot be bested.
