The game is really awesome but it really annoyed me how it could be perfect with one addition: a save point. Devil May Cry 1 had a savepoint..why can't this one? The game is hard enough without a save point.
The combat system is possibly the best I've played with besides Ninja Gaiden. I beat Ninja Gaiden which many do consider the hardest game ever like you said but DMC3 is way harder. The graphics are amazing, the plot is cool, the bosses are awesome, the dialogue is unbelievably funny, but the game is simply lacking of a save feature. Luckily you can save your statistical progress...I just wish you could save your place in the level so you don't have to do an hour long level over and over again because the boss is so hard. Some levels literally take an hour to do or more even if you know what you're doing...dying at the boss because you couldn't figure out the pattern fast enough truly sucks. It actually made me stop playing the game.
I'm a firm believer that if this game had a save point it'd be the best action game I've ever played. The difficulty makes you be a complete badass. The game actually rewards you for being a combo badass. The more insanely cool actions you do, the more damage it does, etc. If it had a save point I'd still be playing it.
