I picked up the new DmC on release day. I managed to beat the game in a couple of sittings. I really enjoyed it and found the combat really fun and I would like to see where Ninja Theory takes the story next. That is assuming a sequel happens.

For me personally he crosses several lines, but I guess different people have different tastes.kazann said:
Meanwhile Mundus is keeping world peace and is overall less of an asshole.
Dante and Vergil kidnap his pregnant wife, murder the baby and her. After Mundus is defeated they open the gates of hell and the game ends on an open end, the world worse off than before and Vergil still out there wanting to take Mundus's place
Right, so fun story, I have a number of friends who use the exact words you just did to describe the old Dante, mostly going off the Devil May Cry 3/4 openings. Commanding two sentient swords not to talk for the rest of their existence(assuming he doesn't chuck them?) Mean-spirited Douchebag. Refusing to explain WHY he just stabbed a guy in the chest and instead fighting a guy trying to do the right thing? Self involved douchebag. You can dislike new dante for that reason but it's disingenuous when the old one wasn't miles betterAdam Jensen said:
From how the game plays out (because you've not played it, I imagine), it has the pleasent bonus of a love interest who ISN'T a genetic clone of his mother and who he priorities over killing Mundus, he actually has a minor dilemma about straight up killing his own brother and appears to have a motivation to fight the demons other than cos it's awesome. And he doesn't cry or get impaled on his sword. Always a plus.
Yeah, but given most of the f*ck up is because Vergil isn't really doing the right thing, I wouldn't call it Dante being an asshole.lapan said:
Like how Dante was going to trade the pregnant wife for Kat, he even said as much to her, VERGIL straight up killed her and the kid. And Mundus small monologue about how Dante really hasn't done anything heroic did at least make him stop and think before soldiering on and playing up his douchebag tendencies to get a reaction out of the Demon King so Vergil could 'cut him off from the Hell gate' which to me didn't sound like 'trap a load of demons on earth' so I can understand his confusion when it DID happen. Problem with revolutions is it never ends the way you wanted it to.
I've never heard of this before now but it sounds great! I honestly hope this can get the fans point across to Capcom or whoever... It's always better to show support and admiration for the things you love then obsess over what you hate.TehCookie said:
I just remember when I could do awesome stuff like these commonly. The old ones had such a seamless style to them.
This game just feels like it's trying way too hard to be cool. It kind of reminds me of that 14 year old who draws swastikas on his desk, purposely tries to laugh as loud as he can when someone dies in a movie or something, and makes sure to say the opposite opinion of whoever is in earshot.
You knew those kinds of kids. We all did.

So, your point is that we don't need any Devil May Cry at all, because the other ones were not much better:The_Scrivener said:

Got it.
That is kind of funny, because that was exactly what I thought every time Dante opened his mouth in any cutscene in DMC 3: "These guys is trying too hard to make it look cool"; although not in the same way. Whether new Dante is "hipster cool", old Dante was "90s cool".RadioactiveMicrobe said:I just remember when I could do awesome stuff like these commonly.

Being a fan of the originals who could not give a flying fuck about the reboot, i have to say some reactions are well justified in that the director (Taneem or something, i forget) of ninja theory did quite literally call us "whiny, entitled morons who should get over it" when we said that the new dante looks more like a drug addict than a half-demon badassKing Billi said:

Oh and since some people here never heard of Operation Crazy here's the layout:
Row row, fight da powa! #THE DEMONS ARE COMING
Yeah I have heard that... I was even given a link to mister Antoniade's Twitter account to see an example of it and I've got to say after looking over a fair amount of his tweets I'm even less convinced that these reactions are justified... All I saw was a man who has a great deal of pride and respect in what he has created, is generally polite to those who aren't insulting or threatening him and who dosen't take any crap from "fans" who attack him personally with excessively hateful comments and threats(of which I read several!)llew said:
All I really have left to say is that those who do legitimately hate DmC and seriously wish for it to go away should direct their attention to the aforementioned "Operation Crazy" and support that, get behind what you actually love and contribute to something positive instead of fueling the hate.
No, Nu-Dante is the definition of 90s cool. Mean-spirited, sweary, grungy, "gritty", and tries to be cool but comes off as an insecure douchebag. Dante actually had more in common with a 70s rockstar; he was flamboyant, over-the-top, charismatic, and had a sense of humor.hermes200 said:That is kind of funny, because that was exactly what I thought every time Dante opened his mouth in any cutscene in DMC 3: "These guys is trying too hard to make it look cool"; although not in the same way.

Yeah, right, because his previous handsome, athlete, unstoppable badass super warrior persona was SO MUCH MORE relatable.The_Scrivener said:
Dev #1: "Hey guys, let's make a new Devil May Cry game, just like the previous ones!"Adam Jensen said:
Dev #2: "Umm, if we do that, the fans will just accuse us of rehashing the same game. We don't want to be Call of Duty, do we?"
Dev #1: "Alright, how about we redesign the character a bit and try to shake things up a little?"
Dev# 2: "Fair enough"
After the fan reaction to the new character design:
Dev #1: "Goddammit, why didn't you warn me about the raving fans? Now we've got to redesign the game and characters!"
Dev #2: "How could I have known? Plus, if we redesign it now, the fans will just complain about how we don't stand by our decisions and call us cowards"
Dev #1: "Okay... so we're fucked either way. Let's just try to roll with this one"
Dev #2: "Fair enough"
I think I've come up with a solution. Supply the game with two different audio tracks, where one has the characters called by their original names and on the other something else. Supply the game with a flippable cover which says something else on the front. Then have the player pick a choice before the game opening screen:
1. Choose to play DMC, a reboot which everyone hates, with a redesigned main character called Dante
2. Choose to play Crazy Pizza Pie adventure, a new hack'n'slash IP from Capcom where a new character called Captain Oregano must fight the armies of heaven and hell with his brother, Lieutenant Olivebranch.
Whichever you pick, the title screen will either say DMC or Crazy Pizza Pie adventure and have the according audio track.
DMC3 and 4 are on PC, and while 3's port is horrible 4 is better on PC than the consoles. Depending on who you ask which one is better is a back and forth (though a lot say 3 since it's a complete game, those who play for the combat prefer 4 for it's improvements).TheKasp said:
Also I already said this in the beginning but unlocking frames doesn't change animations or windows. However being a DmC fan you probably don't care about the gameplay.
But DmC isn't avaliable for the Wii either...TheKasp said:
You said it wasn't on your platform of choice, when the important games are on PS3, 360 and PC. The only point you proved is you are willing waste money to attempt to make someone angry on the internet. Which is completely silly, but you even did a poor job at that. Anyone can say they preordered it, if you really want to make someone mad post a picture to prove it or claim you're 12 and Donte is mature because he says fuck you and the writing is Shakespearean. Also it's The Escapist, I know people having terrible taste on here.
DMC 4 isn't a bad game. You should get it on PC. It's probably very cheap now since it was released in 2008. You'll have a lot of fun with it. And the graphics are still sweet. It's a very colorful game. Seriously, go for it. Even if you don't care about the story it's still a good amount of fun for a small amount of money.TheKasp said:
Actually it was Team Ninja that made Other M, not Ninja Theory, Fail. Seriously if you're going to criticize Ninja Theory, at least get your facts right firstdanon said:
