what do u think of the game?

[chrisfffan]

I never said DOC isn't canon, I said it's not on the same level of canonicity as FF7 or an RPG sequel would be. Much similarly, George Lucas and Lucas Film made An Ewok Adventure, and it is canon, but not on the same level as the six films of the Saga.

Yes, it's been stated over and over that it was a shooter, but you must understand people's way of thinking. They expected the same type of storyline FF7 has and for it to be played out the same way. It wasn't intentional that they would think this way, but most people can't help it.

its a lot better than Ewok Adventure! ha ha

somebody eles said that they thought it was going to be a rpg now how would that work? it would be so stupid as a rpg imagine how long it would be!

The game had some pretty big disappointments - there are elements of the gameplay, story and characters that could have been so much better - but overall, it did fairly well. Terribly short-lived, but good replay value. A chance to see another side of various people and places from the previous FFVII stories.

In the end, though, I'd recommend waiting for it to drop down to bargain-bin prices. This won't take too long, I'm afraid, since it's simply not as good a game as it deserves to be. It'd be worth waiting for it to come down to a reasonable price, rather than paying an excess for something fairly hit-and-miss.

My girlfriend borrowed this game. I played it for two hours and I think it's utter crap. No, I mean it. Gameplay is horrendous and awfully linear. No freedom at all, you can't even jump over small fence. Camera is crap, so many things are crap. If this was meant as an action game, most of the games on this genre owns it 10-0.

This game could've been done even half properly and made even little fun, for it had potential. It just appears they were lazy.

Only reason I can see that someone would want to buy this game is, that they're VERY big fans of FF7 and they want to see the story in this game. I don't think anyone can HONESTLY praise the gameplay of this horrible game.

I thought 24 - The Game gameplay was very bad, untill I played this game. It's way more off and at least 24 game had a bit imagination on levels and different kind of missions.

Shortly: I recommend this game only for people who loved Final Fantasy 7 so much, that they are willing to be ripped off for every tiny FF7 reference and experience they can get, such as Dirge of Cerberus.

I just bought it today. Had a blast on it, so far so good. I like the fully customisable weapons. That rules. At the moment I'm going with a machine gun, fire magic, sniper scope and long barrel. It slows the firing, is powerful as hell.

Anyhoo, at the stage I'm at (I just beat up a big red Guard Hound (I think it's called) for the first time), I'm giving it a high 8 or low 9. Very nice game. Bit twitchy with movement, but once you get used to it it's nice.

Pretty shibby story too.

No side quests...

Too linear...

I like the battle system and such but overall the game was eh.

[Zerv]

I give it a 8/10 the only reason i dont give it a 10 is it isnt an RPG anymore but vincent is my fav FF char and i love how u can customize ur weapon to ur liking

No side quests...

Some of the bonus items kinda count as side-quests, especially when you're playing the game on Extra Hard where you can save items to your next game. Getting Ultima Weapon, Manasoul and other special, expensive items from one game would be nearly impossible, but by doing them over the course of several games makes them a bit like an additional side-quest type of challenge.

If you want a "fun" for shooting the enemy, Then this game is worth of it. I'm entirely tired of adventure game, because it is so serious, but when it's come to this game, it is so fun, I even didn't take it seriously when I came to a GaMeOvEr, especially in the earlier chapter of the game. I don't really understand about the other factors which makes an action game become good/favorit, because this is my first time playing action game contuinuously. Usually I didn't enjoy playing action game (ever tried it), but this time I'm relly enjoy it.

[chrisfffan]

i like the game even more now then when i first played it does anyone eles think its better?

[Angel Valentine]

I give it about a 7/10.

I really did enjoy the game, but it was to easy. I mean, no, I don't want some game that's so hard I can barely play it, God no, but I want something that's a little challenging.

The only real challenge I had out of the whole game was Rosso, and Weiss's first form. They both killed me I don't know how many times.

The CG sequences were beautiful, the graphics themselves were also really good (except for the lack of anti-aliasing but....I tend to overlook that)

It could have been so much better if they'd just done a few more things like:

- Fixing the camera angles
- Fix the targeting
- More enemies
- A tad bit harder

Those four things right there would have given it better critical acclaim.

this thread has got a lot better since the first posts! i think i will give it a 7 or 8 out 10

[ff is da best]

I have just brought this game and it is cool even though the battle system has changed and all. i will give this game a 8/10.
awsome graphics and gameplay.

[Raebus]

4/10

I borrowed it and played it through to the end, it's got horrible game play and the shooting is average compared to other action games. It must be the fact that I'm not wearing rose tinted glasses or thinking he's my favourite character ever, but I think you're giving it far too high scores.

[Project G]

I loved DoC but I thought it lacked something, I mean the extra missions were good but the actual story filled in very few blanks about Vincent's past

(SPOILER)It would have room for a sequel if Chaos hadn't been destroyed at the end

Well of course it's changed..it's not meant to be like previous FF games.
