Whats the general consensus here on the "new improved DmC" I would assume no on here likes it but I will make a poll just to be sure.

I liked the demo, my friend isnt impressed, and IGN almost gave it a 9. So bribed?
IGN gave God Hand a freaking 3 and Anarchy Reigns a 5 or something... Both of those reviewers were people who disliked beat em ups.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=BwD2GgWKIrs#!
You can tell me they aren't paid but lets face the facts here its likely something is going on behind the scenes. Please tell me how i'm insensibly bitching after watching this video.
Look at the facts here ALL OF THE REVIEWS EXCEPT ONE UNKNOWN REVIEWER ARE POSITVE AND EVEN THAT WASN'T A BAD SCORE THEN YOU LOOK TO THE LEFT AND SEE MORE THAN HALF OF THE PEOPLE DISLIKE THE GAME AND THE POSITIVE REVIEWS STATE THEY HAVEN'T PLAYED ANY OTHER DMC GAME OR THEY CAN BARELY SPELL.

Indefensible has a different meaning than insensible and made that claim because you are claimjng witout any evidence that this must be a terrible game and anyone who thought otherwise was bought out by the publisher. I watched that video and can agree with it on some points. I disagree with the premise that all game reviewers must give good scores to bi name games because they are big name games. I have not played DMC yet and probably won't this year but I will say that I believe the scores it has been getting are justified. I can account the number of dislikes the game is receiving to the individuals who are angry about all the changes. The people who have no problems with something generally don't spend a lot of time making sure that everyone knows they are ok with a thing that exists. Honestly I would have been perfectly fine with you posting this thread if you had given one option in the poll that was positive and hadn't assumed that everyone thinks exactly like you.

Please excuse any spelling mistakes this was written on a phone.

Man, can't seem to get away from this constant DmC bashing no matter where I go. Look, I have played all of the DMC games although I only ever finished the 1st, which to me is still the best one. I got this reboot and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story is silly I guess but DMC wasn't about the story now was it. The combat, while some people feel it has been ruined because it has been made accessible, I really like just because of the fact you can pull off these various cool combos and the like and I like the weapons and some of the locations you visit in the game. i

Now granted, the bosses are pretty damn easy and formulaic, the default Devil Hunter difficulty is going to insult some people since compared to older entries especially 3, it is easy (I played on it and didn't die once) but you do have the other difficulties that would probably appeal to the ones who want that challenge down the line. Wasn't RE 4 a bit of a reboot also because it played quite differently to its predecessors yet you never heard loads of people bitch about it and it got rave reviews and great feedback from most of the gaming public. DmC on the other hand, gets bloody shit on by small-minded people claiming it has ruined the franchise and saying blasphemous things to Capcom and Ninja Theory without playing the game or before any footage of it was shown due to the whole Dante look.

Look, I know it is not going to appeal to everyone now but this is the thing I absolutely hate the most on the gaming front on the Internet nowadays. What not might appeal to you will appeal to someone else. I don't like RTS games now but not going to say Starcraft II sucks the big one now just because I dislike strategy games.

And the whole 30 FPS argument I couldn't care less about, if you want the 'authentic' experience, get the PC version.

Just you wait. You'll be bitching too when Capcom eventually farms MegaMan out to Ninja Theory.

He'll no longer be blue. He will be purple, and hell he won't even be a machine.
Arm Cannon? Nope! He uses a regular gun.
He'll be edgy, with tons of cursing, smoking, drinking, and violent sex.
He'll speak with a cockney british accent, and have a face of one of the developers.
The combat will suck and be more akin to an Action 52 game, than a Megaman game.
Difficulty? Gone in favor of casuals.
All the bosses are super easy and predictable. The game even shows you on the stage select screen which weapon you should use to beat the bosses.

But that's ok. It'll be good because someone will like it.
Call it whatever you want, but it is NOT DMC. It might be a decent hack n slash game, but DMC games are EXCELLENT HNS games. Ninja Theory ruins everything they touch.

Why do you think so many people hate Metroid Other M? Because Ninja Theory screwed up the combat, and the characters. They ruined Samus, just like they have Dante. They made her a whiny bitch instead of a cold blooded bounty hunter.

Team Ninja did Metroid Other M not Ninja Theory so your argument is a bit invalid then. But I agree with the way Samus was dealt in that game. But Team Ninja are not renowned for story or character development now are they?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow is a reboot/retelling of a series as well done by an outside studio (Mercury Steam) from Konami and I am a big Castlevania fan yet I loved that game. That didn't get nowhere near the amount of backlash from fans than this game did. Yes, I know it wasn't originally meant to be a Castlevania game but it was and it got some mixed feedback whereas this seems negative for the most part from consumers.


I am not a big Mega Man fan thus wouldn't get annoyed. If they drastically changed Castlevania or Zelda for the worse, I wil be annoyed. Nintendo did that slightly with Skyward Sword!

I'm watching VGA play it now and it looks fucking badass.

It's a reboot, which means it's completely non-canon for those that adore the originals (for some reason I don't understand, the original was the only one I found entertaining in any way). And I love his new personality, so much more interesting than his original "canon" self.

And as for the low FPS, low quality effects and such you could always, you know, not play it on 7 year old hardware and play it on PC.

While i am still a little skeptical of the game i will eventually give it a fair shot. There's just a few games i want to play before i get to DMC.

Gee, if I didn't know any better, I would've thought you wanted the game to fail.

Of course he did! A lot of people wanted it to fail because it wasn't the Devil May Cry they wanted. You think Capcom & Ninja Theory came to their house and did bad things the way some of these people have gone on about it, as if they have some sort of personal vendetta against them!. Heck, some people did a petition to Obama wanting the game banned, which takes the bloody cake!

To tell you the truth, 550,000 copies is better than what I expected it to be but know it wasn't going to do fantastic due to the amount of hate it has got, which I do not get. You have the right to dislike/hate it if you've tried it out but what some people are doing is just plain spiteful!

The only problem I have with this game is that the ps3 version is once again a neglected unreal 3 engine game where frames dip. Also that it doesn't have lock on and there is wayyyyy too much swearing for no good reason. Almost like a brigade of British soccer hooligans made it... Oh wait lol.

It doesn't deserve the hate IMO.

I've been playing it and I honestly think that original Devil May Cry fans should cool their jets. Sometimes game developers do things for a reason. And Capcom approved the final product so they obviously wanted it that way. I love the original Dante, but I can accept the new one. I honestly think its a fun game, but the story/character interactions/one liners are kinda meh. But it gets the job done and is a good looking and fun to play game. And I'm playing on Nephilim difficulty and it seems easier than the original Devil May Cry's Normal mode.
