    If you have any love for the original title, there’s enough new content here with the three additional characters that playing through it again will feel like a fresh experience.

    A good game wrapped in a great remastered package. Capcom could have just slapped together something with a higher resolution and called it an HD remaster like many are doing, but they elected to actually build upon their seven year old game by adding meaningful content. Granted, they didn’t reinvent the wheel with these extras, but playing as Trish, Lady and especially Vergil are more than welcome additions.

    A good game that has stood the test of time in an exemplary manner, but that conforms to repeat the same mistakes of the original, although extends the experience with new content.

    Fans of the series will have the most fun with this, but for others who haven't played any of these games, will most likely have serious problems with the fixed camera and backtracking. The combat is very good but for me, everything else is nothing but frustration.

    Little more than a time capsule giving players a glimpse into a series that stubbornly refused to improve along with its competition.

    Il s’agit d’une édition remastérisée de Dans Mon Cul 4, le retour sur consoles d’après, à savoir la génération PS4One, 7 ans (de malheur)Il s’agit d’une édition remastérisée de Dans Mon Cul 4, le retour sur consoles d’après, à savoir la génération PS4One, 7 ans (de malheur) après la version dédiée PS360. On a donc des graphismes nettement à la hausse et une fluidité à toute épreuve… et (enfin) deux nanas jouables, ce qui rajoute un peu de beauté dans cette licence par ailleurs bourrine et misogyne (et gay, ceci expliquant cela sans doute).

    En effet, les gars là-dedans sont des poseurs à nette tendance homosexuelle non refoulée mais comme on peut les éviter (dans cette ‘Special Edition), alors on n’en fera pas un fromage. De toute façon, si le jeu est plus joli, il reste un gros jeu de merde bien merdeux qui vous mettra les nerfs en pelote en moins de deux. En moins de deux heures ou en moins de deux minutes, c’est selon… la tolérance de chacun.

    On commencera avec cette foutue caméra qui fait de la merde sans arrêt, et gêne énormément pendant les phases de plateformes (à s’arracher les cheveux !) mais aussi pendant les combats… puisqu’elle fait ce qu’elle veut, reste fixe ou change d’angle quand ça lui chante et ainsi de suite… bref, elle fait de la merde à n’en plus finir !

    Pour un jeu prétendu brutal et bourrin, on regrettera comme d’habitude ces énigmes (à s’arracher les cheveux) sans aucune indication ou indice, sinon des allusions incompréhensibles qui ne vous avancent pas d’un pouce… La mini-carte ne sert à rien (elle reste fixe comme une conne) et quant à la grande carte, il faut aller dans le menu ! de toute manière, on tourne encore plus en rond, vu que la caméra n’arrête pas… de faire de la merde.

    Enfin, ce jeu de merde ne sauvegarde pas pendant les missions mais uniquement au début de celles-ci… et comme ce jeu de merde ne veut pas fonctionner avec la reprise rapide (X|S), on se retrouve à recommencer tout le niveau (de merde) à chaque fois ! signalons que les enemis réapparaissent sans arrêt dans certaines salles ou certains couloirs et franchement, ça aussi, ça… casse bien les couilles !

    En conclusion, on ne saurait trop recommander d’éviter cette chiasse de sale jeu de merde, cette sous-chiasse à chier de chez Capcon, l’éditeur-développeur habitué des sous-produits pourris dans ce sous-genre-là !    … Expand
