CUHRAYZEE Thread

"What's with the stupid spelling up there? Don't you mean "crazy"?"

No my friend. Any game can be crazy. We're talking CUHRAYZEE.

"I don't understand. What does that even mean?"

A fine question.

"The term ‘cuhrayzee’ basically exists to get rid of shitstorms. The genre of ‘hack ‘n’ slash’ is changing in the media to apply to games like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden etc, when the reality is that it applies to Diablo-esque games. Referring to this genre as ‘hack ‘n’ slash’ usually brought aggressive and unwanted debate. Other suggestions would be ‘beat ‘em up’, but that would mean discussing games like Double Dragon and Streets of Rage which don’t really belong. To combat this, we ended up using our own phrase which originates from Dante’s pronunciation of the word ‘crazy’ in Devil May Cry 3.

And now comes the awkward part – the definition. This is not a ‘solid’ definition as you will find that individual interpretation of ‘cuhrayzee’ usually brings something unique (e.g. some form of scoring system), but these are the regularly agreed criteria:

- GAMEPLAY. It is absolutely necessary for cuhrayzee games to feature a fast, fluid and deep combat system. Gameplay is the main discussion point of games here; points of discussion can include (but are not limited to): mastering/learning advanced techniques, combo customisation/optimisation and weapon mastering/utilisation/set-ups. People can also receive general game advice such as learning the game, help with bosses, help with a certain section etc. It is also recommended for cuhrayzee games to be challenging and to encourage players to use skill and mastery of the combat system instead of alternatives (e.g. grinding).

Basically, gameplay in cuhrayzee games should have enough depth to sustain discussion regarding it. Examples: Jump Cancelling in DMC, Dodge Offset in Bayonetta, developing character combos in Max Anarchy.

- STYLE. Cuhrayzee games undoubtedly have an element of style to them. This style often comes in the form of badassery (although this is subjective) and even ludicrousness (e.g. dancing robots, boss battles with gorillas, reciting poetry before a boss battle). Cuhrayzee games more often than not don’t take themselves very seriously and are goofy, but there are exceptions to this (e.g. Ninja Gaiden).

- THE LINK BETWEEN STYLE AND GAMEPLAY. As you will see, this is usually the deciding factor for whether a game is cuhrayzee or not. The style presented in the design and cutscenes of the game should be completely woven into the gameplay and vice versa. For example, if a game features cutscenes that are considered stylish, yet has a completely shallow combat system, the game will not be discussed in the thread. If the game lets you achieve the same level of style seen in cutscenes through a well-developed and deep combat system, this game will be discussed. The best example I can think of is the goal of Devil May Cry fans to be able to play as Cutscene Dante."

MAIN GAMES FOR DISCUSSION:

- Devil May Cry series
- Bayonetta
- Ninja Gaiden series
- God Hand
- Max Anarchy/Anarchy Reigns
- Vanquish
- Sengoku Basara
- Shinobi
- Viewtiful Joe
- Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

THIS THREAD IS ALSO A DECIDED SUBSECTION FOR POSTING VIDEOS/WHATEVERS THAT HAVE TO DO WITH AMAZING SKILL/SHOW IN VIDEOGAMES. DOES NOT HAVE TO PERTAIN TO THE MAIN GAMES LISTED ABOVE, IT CAN BE YOU SPEEDRUNNING SOMETHING IN A RIDICULOUSLY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

TOOL ASSISTED SPEEDRUNS ARE OKAY FOR POSTING.

FIGHTING GAME COMBO VIDEOS ARE NOT.

EXTRAS:

-No DmC: Devil may Cry allowed because reasons.
-Why is God Hand emulation so faulty?

Now let's get this thread started.

-THIS POST WILL BE EDITED IN THE FUTURE FOR CONVENIENCE-

I should get back to DMC3 soon, even if the soul drain mission is really annoying.

The soul drain mission isn't that bad. You get constant sprinting thanks to your persistent Devil Trigger, the only downside is dying health which is easily mended by every enemy giving you pretty much a full health drop.

All you really need to do is kill the bigger guys first and when your health bar is getting really low, just kill the smaller dudes. That part ends really fast but I forget what the rest of the mission consists of.

I got distracted by the combo statue and some items so I died. Obviously a bad idea to stop in a mission where my health slowly drained, but I couldn't help it.

Spin-off action game starring Ludger (Also featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series) when?

Those spells are all in the latest version of Hisoutensoku. They just abused practice mode to make things look pretty.

I was expecting a new insanity thread. I am disappointed.
