The abortion thing didn't really bother me too much, what bothered me more was that Virgil used a gun to do it, that's very un-Virgil, DMC3 Virgil would have just run her through and cut the soldiers to ribbons. Or how the demon faeatus is murdered by a single 5.56 round but not by the previous boss fight where you spend a good few minutes stabbing the hell out of it, I found it all relatively inoffensive, and I kind of saw Virgil's dickery coming. It's hardly, as I saw somebody here describe it, a "360 noscope abortion". I can see how the scene could be upsetting and even offensive. Personally it didn't bother me, had the baby been carried by a human woman and not the crazy demon *****, and I hadn't had to fight the demon baby, then I may have been put off by it.
I'd rather Virgil had been handled in a more badass way, but he's been well setup as a villain for a follow up.
I kind of like how it's more serious than it used to be, and I enjoyed the story, I'm not saying there are parts I disliked, but mostly I enjoyed it. And the demo is not a great representative of the writing or story as a whole, especially not the boss battle included, I would advise you to play the game through before judging it.
As for using specific weapon types for specific enemies, it works fairly well and the enemy waves play well to it, requiring you to switch about and manage different kinds of enemy on the fly with quick reflexes and thinking, though it would be easier if it had manual lock-on.
I can see where you're coming from and I understand your concerns, but I do advise playing it through before writing it off. It's more mature and the story is more well developed and well thought out than previous entries. But it is a reboot, had they taken such liberties without it being a reboot, then I'd have had a lot more problems. If I judge it with other entries in the series in mind it loses out, but it's a good reboot in a series that, as I recall, was criticized horribly for it's 4th entry, mostly by the people who now hate it for actually evolving.
