I can't believe I'm saying this...

[The White Hunter]

Although, I do miss the lock on function...

What did you guys think?

Pretty much that!.

Once I'd figured out the controls it was brilliant apart from the lack of a manual lock on, and it would be nice to have some kind of legacy control option that let's you use a more old-school control setup.

Me being me I managed to use the wrong grab in combat a few times but it works out fine either way, just got used the Nero's devil arm and how that worked I guess.

But yeah, was great fun, really enjoyable. Frame rate did feel a touch sluggish sadly, playable by all means, but sluggish, hopinh for a good great PC version

How many games in this series now? Five? Six?

You'd think they'd have established by now whether or not that devil is going to cry.

Well in 2 Dante tells Lucia "devils never cry"

But that WAS the most hated one.

Just an aside, anyone else love the atrocious editing in these videos? I'm seriously expecting CRRAWWWLIINNG IN MY SKIINNNN to blare its ugly head in one of these. If they're trying to entice people to play their game, they're not doing a very good job of it.

No ma'am, I do not think so.

Haven't played the demo but I don't like the general aesthetics of the game (from what I've seen). I'll give it a shot to see if the gameplay is up to snuff and check out some cutscenes on youtube to see how the dialogue is eventually. If it is decent enough dialogue wise (hopefully plenty more witty than what I've heard about) and the gameplay is just as good or better than previous installments then I'll pick it up.

Oh and how difficult is it? If it isn't hard I'm not interested.

Having checked out the demo yesterday I'd have to say I'm not really impressed or liking where it's going since I did love the older Cry's this new one seems too different for me in a sense that it doesn't feel like I'm playing Dante anymore but more of a wannabe instead.

Eh in the end I'll probably skip out on this since it's going to go somewhere I'm not going to like so I guess I'll go for another game franchise that hasn't been altered much to appeal to a new and different crowd.

 

[Baralak]

I didn't care for it. the combat itself was fun, but pretty much everything else was average or mediocre. It'll be a budget buy for me. On the plus side, Dante wasn't an insufferable douchebag. Seriously, he straight up pissed me off in DMC3.

Seriously, though, there were WAY too few enemies, way too infrequent in their appearance, the platforming was pretty lame (although I liked being able to chain up to places), and the levels were way too big. Just a nice, tight arena with lots of enemies would have worked just fine.

They should have studied something like Bayonetta and taken more inspiration from it. God I can't wait for Bayonetta 2...

Just as an aside, I didn't finish the demo, I got too bored wandering around looking for stuff to kill.

Bitches love Fedora's.

I'm honestly looking forward to it and I hope it does well... because I like watching Fanboys cry. Fanboys May Cry.

Is Vergil undercover at a gay bar?

Undercover?

He runs such a fine establishment, while awesome non-reboot Vergil is taking names and kicking ass.

Vergil kicks names and takes ass. If you gave him your name he'd probably beat your ass with it. All the girls want some Vergil goodness. ;p

I can't say I'm very interested in the new DmC. I just...meh. To the whole thing. I dislike Dante's redesign, I dislike Vergil's redesign and it irks the hell out of me that they're trying to use existing lore for their reboot. If they're going to try to use the existing canon to call this reboot a prequel, as least be consistent with the freaking canon.

I'm looking at you, stupid ass comment about how this is before Dante had white hair.

I think it may be a decent game in its own right, but I still maintain that(just like Dragon Age 2) I would like it more if it wasn't called Devil May Cry, but that's just me.

DmCs "humor" doesn't quite fit my tastes. Dante always shittalked his enemies, but there is a whole difference between Dantes humor and new Dantes obscenities. The combo and style sytem also seem extremly simplified, there is something wrong if you can get SSS rank by repeating the routine of counter+same attack. Some people even managed to achieve SSS with just about 3-4 attacks against a single pair of enemies.

Oh gosh, a game that was called out on being shit without any actual basis except the hair (understatement from my side but fuck it, this was really all I remember about the whole situation) turns out to be not shit...

The whole problem was that people whined without having a reason to. No gameplay footage, only a small clip of 'banter' etc were enough to declare the new DMC shit before even playing it. Oh, and hair. Because a normal haircut seems to be emo nowadays.

While his new look was one reason why people displike him, it's definitely the least valid and unfair to mock critics by only citing that one argument.

 

[kortin]

Oh look, Daystar actually did start this topic.

Sorry, don't really have any input other than that. I only played DMC 1 and didn't really enjoy it when I did. Glad the newest one is looking shipshape for you, though.

 

[rbstewart7263]

I love the demo and Im feeling positive. Only problem now is that its hip to go.*I much prefer this dante over the old one" Fucking hipsters its the same ************ personality wise!

Hipster douchebag friends...

I thought a heavy dose of parody was par for course in DmC. Even in IV, when we weren't watching Nero scream his cardboard girlfriends name at the sky we had scenes like this:

Spoiler

If the new game keeps true to that spirit and doesn't take itself to seriously I can see how it might be enjoyable. I just hope it's released on PC so I can give it a go.

 

[Kinguendo]

To be perfectly honest, I don't play Capcom games for the story anyway. They're usually insane or downright stupid, while the gameplay is ranging from decent to facking oresome. I've been looking forward to this since it was announced, and the fact that most of the people I know are saying the actual game itself is fun to play just reinforces my resolve.

As far as I could tell, the basic concept of the rebooted DMC is based on the story of Little Nicky.

 

[teebeeohh]

i liked it, i love the weapon mapping, limbo looks really nice(though i fear if the whole game is like that i may get fed up) and since i knew what the dialogue was gonna be like i was ok with that.
and what really surprised me was that i was never bothered by the 30fps thing, probably because it is so well done that it never drops(or they were smart enough to design the demo parts well enough)

 

[AgentLampshade]

If we just put our fingers in our ears and chant 'Lalalalalalala' whenever the guy who resembles Vergil is on screen, we should be okay.

But he uses guns. Guns!!!

I thought they used that line 2-3 times in the first, too.

Man, this is getting confusing.

 

[Loonyyy]

I'm really looking forward to it. I know it's going to annoy longtime fans of the series, because it's not a strict continuation of the series, and probably singles an end to the original (Which really sucks btw. This would make a better spinoff).

I actually like the character, from what I've seen from the trailers. He's got more of a punk aesthetic, which I'm a big fan of, and I thought that bit with the bouncer was great. That much derided scene from the trailer where he and some boss exchange repeated "Fuck you"s? I preferred that over incessant witty one-liners. But hey, your mileage may vary.

I'm not sure whether to pick it up for PC or xBox though. Not sure if there are any graphical advantages to PC, and I just had a terrible experience with a port (Assassin's Creed 3), so I'm not ready to do that again.
