More or less yeah. The reality is that all of us were very enamored with the combat that the DMC series had so the story was whatever to us.
@Shatterstar: I think you missed the point. He pretty much said that DmC is a good action game but it isn’t a good “Devil May Cry” game.
I dont see how any1 who liked the older games could like this… But umm … Good for you i guess.
It still is and always will be SHIT in my opinion.
I think the biggest question is: Why do you guys even give a fuck what a reviewer thinks in the first place? You don’t need a reviewer to tell you that this is an mediocre to average game at best.
Because people somehow feel that this is the end of gaming journalism because the reviewers enjoyed DmC.
Oh no. Gaming journalism has been dead for a while now. The problem is that mediocre to average games keep getting heaps of praise for being mediocre and average… the natural evolution of this whole “everyone’s a winner” crap that has been pussifying our world for the last 2-3 decades.
It’s just now started to infect games that where never about making everyone feel special to begin with. You could play Devil May Cry just to see the ending, and the game gave you the tools to do so. Or, you could dig deeper and master the combat system to become as stylish and unfuckwithable as OG Dante was in the cutscenes.
Now you just spam dodge a few times and mash on your hard attack for SSS style scores.
GOD OF HEAVENLY ENSLAVED MAY CRY: Now everyone can be awesome without ever really trying!
Considering how much I love to be patronized, I’ll still take this congrats. This vindicates what I’ve been saying that the people opposed, I mean REALLY opposed to this game are a small but vocal minority of DMC purists. Of the 2.7 million who bought DMC4, what percentage of them played the game at a truly high level? 4%? That sounds about right. Making a game just for them, in 2013 is a retarded idea. So the fact that the voices of the purists (I say purist, because there are plenty of DMC fans that are not) have been completely drowned out, is good enough for me.
The salt flows heavy, And honestly, if the game actually WASN’T good, that wouldn’t please me (I mean I’ve wanted a new DMC game for years now). But the fact that we have a good DmC and people are passing up on it for no other reason than they think that if no one supports it they’ll get the OG series back, it pleases me greatly that they are being ignored.
You can replace the word DMC 4 with any game title… like I literally I mean any game title, and it sill won’t justify your argument.
I really wanna to argue with you, but you bring up zero valid points on… well anything.
And every time I prove you wrong, you just pretend like I didn’t post anything.
ShogunZ, how do I show my love for you?!?!!?
Well…
You have…VERY strong Delusions of Grandeur.
Good for you, I guess?
I’m not patronizing you, ShogunZ.
You fought the good fight. If you enjoy it, then good for you. No animosity here. People are hyped for that Pony Fighter, but I can’t be down with the bronies like that. Doesn’t mean I’ll give them shit if that’s what they like. I have an apparently high standard when it comes to games and this just isn’t for me.
I just feel really bad that instead of calling it another title, the name Devil May Cry will now be associated with “Fuck You/lazy platforming/braindead enemies that just stand there and wait their turn to die/a terrible story that takes itself far too seriously/the most unlikeable main character in recent memory” rather than a tongue-in-cheek story that never got in the way of the awesome, over the top action that made you feel like a badass when you got good enough, and a main character that knew he was broken, but was never a douche about it.
You’ll never understand true love!!
What’s so hard about fans accepting that this could be/is a fun and well executed game that also happens to not live up entirely to it’s namesake? Just do what I do if you are mad about it. Don’t buy it! After Super SFIV I quit SFIV altogether. I didn’t like it but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad game.
Honestly, this is how I look at it. It’s got it’s pro’s no doubt. It’s just OK overall. I go through this everytime a new Transformers series comes out. I am an avid collector and only buy what appeals to me. Just because a company rebrands an IP and turns out a product does not mean that you must embrace it.
Lol people be upset or excited by the reviews
I mean, I hope you read more than numbers. Even the Destructoid review says if the combat might not satisfy you if you’re into the old DMCs combat.
Because its the whole aspect of trying to prove something. Both sides are guilty of it. Thats why i felt nobody won when it came to what happened to this game. Its a tough pill to swallow for the people that didn’t like this game to recognize that its a competent action game.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this game is pretty much in line with DMC2.
Reviews
I’m just saying, I would give DmC a higher score than that pos.
I wouldn’t go that far. DMC2 was shit in every sense of the world, there’s nothing redeemable there.
DmC might not be as good as I hoped it would, but at least it has it’s good parts as an action game, even if the combat is a step down from DMC4.
I think this game is going to peak early, in terms of stuff like this, but that cancel was pretty fucking dope, as was the rest of the video.
I say its like DMC2 in the sense that it made it easier for the casual audience to get into and it had a story you didn’t really give two craps about.
Lol its like the gaming industry is fucking backwards
DmC gets good reviews while the same morons give Anarchy Reigns 5.9s because its too “niche” somehow.
Sure can’t wait for DMC 2.
