That's cool. I like to replay them too. But the vast majority of people won't. DMC fans need to stop being so fragile and making out that playing these games requires a PHD in Edgelord controller skillz.
i did not say anything like that, but ok...the first normal playthrough is not the same as the playthrough after that and that is a fact.
if someone wants to sink 60 bucks into the game for one assisted easy playthrough, there is better value for the money for sure in my eyes.
and if you like to replay these games too i don´t even know why you are making a fuss here, i just said first playthrough is the beginning for many players and they will learn the stuff they need to learn to tackle higher difficulties with enhanced move sets, that is also a fact and not something made up. it was always like this with these games. it leads to more fun when you master the moves and combos because it makes you feel like an stylish badass and that is what these games are about in the end.
