No it wasn’t. It only sold 2.5 million. DMC1 and 3 are the highest selling.
Well I like your post because you allow the possibility that they might bring the old one back and not saying ‘Either this game flops or they never bring back the Old Dante’…
However, them calling a reboot shakes that conviction a little… reboot is synonymous to revision imo… if this game does sell well, the series might be carried from this DmC…
I question about why Playstation All Stars would have the changed Dante in it(but idk if that was Sony’s choice or Capcom’s), but Capcom has a tendency to try to erase the legacies of ex-developers unless it’s a super iconic character to them that goes back to the beginning of the company(like a megaman or street fighter)…
This right here is why I’ve got one foot out the door already… If this is what has to happen to keep gaming alive then to hell with it, I’m done. I’ll go lift some weights and write a few books about what it was like in ‘ye olden days’ when everybody wasn’t a bitchmade pansy.

Oh yeah, cartoons were better back in the day too. /FUCK YOU.
^Ha me and you both bro…
I might have to give up this hobby because it’s become so boring…
I’ll play my old games, SF2, SF4(this game moves too slow, and makes no sense to me, but w/e everybody plays it), and that it…
Only thing I have to look forward to are PG’s heavy hitters next year(Anarchy Reigns and MGR, both coming out within a month of each other)… if nothing else, these things give me a reason not to sell my Xbox…
Bayonetta and Vanquish are also top on the list of reasons not to sell a current gen console… still made by PG… it seems like they are the only ones that still remember what fun is lol…
yup, taking a little break after like 4 hours of bayonetta and i decided to go through this easter eggs file on gamefaqs after like 3 years. lol, and the detail in this game is amazing.
Secrets and Easter Eggs Bayonetta http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps3/946345-bayonetta/faqs/58989
edit. its like everyone else is fucking retarded these days, and pg is the only ones having fun and making great shit, but i guess thats how it always is. a bunch of trash, and a few gems. its really a shame though. it doesnt have to be like that.
all these wonderful game, company, and culture reference in bayonetta are just beautiful.
@sonichuman
I asked the gamestop employee and she told me it had to be the paid subscription PuR card.I asked if the free one applied, but i might have to go back and ask again.
You guys know what’s a really fun action game not many seemed to have played because the 1st was shit in comparison? Star Wars: The Force Unleashed **II. **Game is awesome, it loosely reminds me of the NG/NGS games. Really fucking fun, and a decent amount of depth.
Superbot confirmed that Capcom wanted them to use the new Dante.
there are two d-bags talking about stagnation in the gaming industry
i assume they dont look hard enough
you can find plenty of good different games, you just need to expand your horisons
also i want this game to bomb
its a bad game , with horrid intentions, being developed by a company that doesnt give a crap about its consumers.
maybe i can get a better game out of this, i rather have no game than a sh** game
This. There’s still games made for the hardcore that are successful. Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls are perfect examples. It just sucks some our favorite publishers/developers are catering to casuals. They need to find that balance of having a scrub be able to play the game and make progress, while having a lot of depth, learning curve and crushing difficulties to choose from for the more experienced to get into if they want.
The thing is, with catering to casuals, they remove a lot of the depth, learning curve and difficulty that most of us want.
If DmC doesn’t do well they’ll probably shelve the franchise for 6 years, or bury it completely. I think Capcom not indicating it as a separate series outside of lowercase-ing the M means that they aren’t expecting to run into brand confusion, unlike say having the Megaman or RE side franchises be known mostly for their second titles. Capcom isn’t expecting to have to explain to people why the next Devil May Cry game has a 5 instead of a 2 after the title.
Real talk, people are assuming that a Capcom DMC5 will have combat like DMC3 or 4, a story as good as DMC1 or 3, Vergil coming back from the dead, and Dante’s hair-waving technology from DMC2, but honestly it might just be ass. We could just get shitty mechanics, dumb dialogue, and character assassination with a Japanese flavor, instead of the wet Tameem diarrhea we have now.
i highly doubt a dmc5 4 years from now or so would suck considering what mgr and bayonetta 2 are going to do to the game, and im sure some other names will show up new or old to bring more to the table to force the hand of capcom to make a great dmc game.
now if your saying hypothetically if we didnt get DmC and we got dmc5 instead it would probably suck, eh, i dont know. at the most minimal effort of creativity they could just has together everything move, weapon, style wise from the series, slap in dante and nero again, but with less shitty levels, bosses, and enemies, make a vergil, trish, lady dlc package and it would rake in racks of dough with ease.
its really easy to improve over dmc4. like a blind monkey could do it, but unfortuntely the blind monkey game we’re getting only has one possible thing over previous dmc’s, and thats maybe taking up the boss and enemy creativity to some new heights, but it will fail in comparison to previous dmc’s, and its 20013 hack n slash competition by a long shot when it comes to story, graphics, character design, cutscenes, gameplay, environment, FREE ON DISC CONTENT, dialogue, etc…
i cant imagine this hasnt been the most frustrating and worse decision certain people in capcom have felt they made in a long time. easy guaranteed 3-4 million sales no problem if they kept it in house, and just used the most basic gameplan to improve on dmc4, but instead they took a chance with a couple of proclaimed story tellers with attitudes, and not only had to deal with not only some of the largest and widespread hate towards the title, but also had to come in and help NT finish the god damn game. lol
hopefully mgr demo drops before this game to put an even huger dent in sales when people try the demo to see what all the fuss is about and save their money for mgr instead. im still gonna look for a day 1 rent, but its impossible i will ever buy this game. there is simply no reason too. i seriously cannot imagine anything redeemable happening throughout the game that makes me go WHOOA, this is devil may fucking cry to the fullest, i was wrong and stupid. what, upgrades to weapons and abilities, a few cool bosses. eh i dont see it.
sorry NT, maybe next time before you shit all over better creators and games then you have put out, you try making a game where capcom doesnt have to come in and hold your hand. i mean cmon guys, look at the god damn jump canceling and ridiculous hitboxes in the game you can experience within the first 2 minutes. serioiusly, a child could pick up DmC right now, jump up to an enemy, take two hands and literally start mashing jump, slash, and be amazed by his jump canceling skills. my girl asked me 5 times while i was doing it today, “is that a glitch”. it looks that fucked up. lol
i was able to capture two angel enemy flyer things in a jump cancel mash fest earlier today, and they just both sat there jerking in mid air like two dummies. the worst part is the other one flew into it, and since they have some crazy hurtboxes, or my jump hitbox is huge, or however that works out, dude was mad far away from me in dmc distance for jump canceling and i just sucked him on in for the mashing.
guns sound like shit, feel like shit, AND ANYONE WHO SAYS NO LOCK ON DOESNT MATTER, YOU FUCKING SUCK AND ARE A COMPLETE MORON. at first i was like, i guess i seem to be doing what i want and no lock on isnt that big of a deal except a couple minor moments. then i put it on son of sparda, and since the enemies were moving more, and i was just generally playing around more to see what i could do, i found myself mad annoyed when dante would literally be pointed directly at the enemy i just finished hitting and is closest to me, and he would auto lock onto the god damn fucking enemy behind the enemy closest to me. i was like, wtf, where is the logic in that at all.
so on dante must die mode, no lock on is going to suck, but it probably wont, you know why, because im sure you will get mad scrubby weapons that just do most of the work for you while you wail away, like we’ve already seen with those throwing star things. im a fan of powerful weapons of variety, but not when it might potentially be used to make up for an inability to dictate your attacks 100 percent like you should be able to. my issues with lock on happened about 10-15 times throughout my testing and then i got bored and just beat the level.
teleport move is trash, i didnt test jump invincibility, clunky movement and even my menu had moments where i hit down and it didnt move the cursor, canceling out of attacks is too slow (bayonetta has spoiled me), guns sound like shit, not being able to use guns while using your devil or angel weapon because of that fucking god damn whip is shitty, so i have to play hand hockey more then i need to in the air with pressing and releasing triggers, enemy attacks are super slow and few and far between even on son of sparda, no real “felt” impact on weapons. the list goes on
/rant
JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, IM PLAYING IT AS I TYPE. THE FUCKING ENEMY JUST SPAWNED RIGHT NEXT TO ME AND IT AUTO AIMED TO NOTHING. i had to run around in a quick tight circle to get the game to go duh there is an enemy next to me. this shit is trash
edit: why the fuck do the enemies cock back and hold it so long before fucking just swinging their god damn weapon. sigh. i was trying to prevent my long hatred rant on the dmc demo. lol
LEVEL (Swedish game magazine) - 9/10
** Summary of LEVEL review: *
- Lots of fun variation in the level design. Dante swings between platforms, avoids incoming trains and explores vertical sewers
-
- The multiple stage transformations throughout the game is well integrated in the story that is being told*
-
- Ninja Theory is taking a more serious approach than Capcom in the story-department*
-
- The controls in DmC isn’t as good as in the previous DMC-games - it’s much better*
-
- DMC-veterans will feel “home”*
-
- Basically all the changes has been for the better good; combining Devil May Cry’s deep, sophisticated action with the modern action-adventure stage-design*
-
9/10*

lol ii love watching you nerds go ham. DmC already have 2 reviews out and look! both are 9/10s
just stfu and get over the fact that the land of the rising sun didn’t make this game. this game will drop and sell well. just based off the demo receiving positive reviews ( and the final product itself ) from sites that are more credible than your average dmc fanboy who XBL gametag is probably called darksparda or some moe shit.
and MGR being better? nigga, that game have terrible framerate issues and combat that is shallow as smash bros brawl. and let me not even bring up the gamebreaking crashes that DmC didn’t suffer from. this game is definitely no fucking bayonetta. it’s an average as hack n slash with raiden on the cover. and fanboys need to accept this.
Man I want to buy the HD collection of Devil May Cry… not in protest of the new one… but a trailer made me want to buy it all over again… my funds are short so it’s Anarchy Reigns, then MGR next month… I’ll probably go for the ZoE collection(on 360 because that’s the improved port and the PS3 one is trash) because I want something different…
But like… first impressions… they are throwing away such an iconic character… I wonder what reviews from the big wigs in the game review industry will say…
[media=youtube]8eFUPRqdOvA[/media]
Sounds like they paid for that review score. I don’t think DmC is a horrible game on its own merits, but I highly doubt its a legit 9 out of 10 game. Not buying it one bit
I go to Metacritic for a aggregate score…
Because everyone can’t be wrong… but review from one place… taken with a grain of salt…
How did this magazine get a copy of the game so far in advance, but the biggest reviewers haven’t seen it yet…
Famitsu? Ign? Gamespot?
Not buying it one bit either…
Gametrailers is the one review I want to see along with Famitsu.
Oh and please people, stop with the whole, “They got paid to give that score”. Reviews are personal opinions about the game. If that person thinks its a 9, then thats what it is.
Probably because the game is largely done and it’s out in a week or two? The magazine can’t afford getting their review out in the Feb. issue after the game is released. What will it matter then?
Also all the gaming websites might have their copies too and aren’t allowed to break the review embargo yet. I mean shit, RE6 was finished like a month in advance or something (everytime I think about RE6 getting it’s released date bumped up and being finished a month before the release I just feel like Capcom was shitting in my hands the whole time).
ON THAT NOTE! Thanks NeoGaf for this supposedly leaked IGN review.
So not only is it better than God of War 2 in their opinion (the best the west has ever done) but it’s also better than Bayonetta?
FurryCurry and all of us laughing together
Bayonetta had a demo that was five times better than DmCs. I have trouble believe DmC could ever be better than Bayonetta or even DMC4/3/1 or NGB/II. Capcom what did you promise these people?
Luckily it’s fake. But if it WERE real…
OMG do you mean to tell me that gaming “journalists” have rated this game nearly perfectly? shocker… it’s almost like the exact same thing they always do for AAA titles from major companies…
