As much as I like Angry Joe I think his fanatical side was showing a bit too much here to take what he said in a more legit way. I don't really understand where this emo claim comes from because I thought emo kids had hair they flicked out of their eyes constantly and complained about trivial BS. He put so much emphasis on that complaint that ultimately I think doesn't make much sense. What the hell was that video though? Is it seriously real? Someone link me if you can because I got to see it to believe it. What was that THING?!
It was a hyperbole, but the ultimate point of it is how unlikable Dante is now in his opinion and how unrecognizable he has become.
Also was seriously talking about Vergil shooting Lillith actual grounds for a complaint? Um, I don't know about you guys but I'd shoot the next DEMONIC KING and it's evil mother too. Plus you can't obviously complain about Vergil in this game being worse because that dude was so one dimensional and ZZZZZZZZZZ BORING previously. DmC brought me around to Vergil alot more than I ever did because when it comes to being a villain, the guy sucks and I know LOTS who put him to shame. Plus was the hair joke really interpreted is some kind of insult? It was meant to be ironic and was alot funnier in general to anything previous Dante could have came up with. Dante has a sense of humor that may be only funny if you're drunk or high and have the giggles. If I ever laughed at DMC, it was how hilariously bad some of the things that were said and done.
The point was how dishonorable for the character it was. Vergil made a point not to use guns and to fight with honor in the old games. It's like Batman using a gun, it just doesn't fit at all. I know it's a reboot but if you're not going to stay true to the character in any way then why even bother having it be the same name?
The white hair joke was in poor taste because it felt like a slap in the face to the old fans. Now I never cared about Dante's hair, but the hair complaints kind of represent how much the character changed and again how unrecognizable he is. He pretty much looked at the camera and said "This is how it is now, fanboys."
I think you've completely missed the point of the old DMC's.
Plus are they really going to complain about Mundus here? He was a freaking statue and then a blob of organs who looked like he got off watching Dante run back in forth through his castle doing tedious item collecting and killing his minions. He wasn't very compelling as a villain and the game just assumes I'm suppose to buy he's some kind evil powerhouse. Mundus in the new game is in context to the tale being told and controlling the world through something as important to economics as currency is a subtle but very effective way to control the world so tell me why is that considered to be some kind of flaw here?
The fact that you think Mundus controlling the U.S.A through debt shows how little you know about economics. I'd recommend taking a class sometime. It's not as if this Mundus is very comepling either, he's just a fat Lex Luthor. And not a Lex Luthor in an interesting story either.
Sure also the story satires things we have in the real world but who cares really? Are you going to tell me Bill O Reilly isn't an asshole? Or that Fox news aren't idiots themselves for the most part? They compared the MLP FiM fandom to terrorism. DmC does draw a comparison to films like They Live and the Matrix along with other things who used this plotline (They Live is a crappy movie anyway, fun at times but still bad. John Carpenter's best is obviously The Thing) but is it any worse than the very weak B-movie stories from the previous titles? Like Joe said, don't give me that BS. I see WAY more potential in this take on Dante's story than the previous stuff. It's the most Dante centric storyline than ever before because why was Dante always living in his dad's shadow despite us never seeing anything the dude did to make me believe Dante still isn't as good as his dad.
He didn't even complain about the Fox news stuff, only pointing out that you might get offended if you're a heavy conservative. He complimented the They Live style too, even though I feel it's a complete rip off.
How the people have been judging it though is completely retarded because saying DmC is bad is saying you don't know what a bad game is like Joe said. It doesn't deserve the stupid grief it gets. Take that stupid rage and fling it to the REAL BAD DMC GAMES which are 2 and 4. The direction DmC takes with this series is a hell of alot more interesting that what the previous game left us with because who honestly gives a sh!t about pointless Dante a.k.a. Nero and whatever he does with his cardboard cut out anime girlfriend. Maybe a rebooted Nero would be alot better than in the DmC universe because the only thing I liked about him was that he was voiced by my favorite Power Ranger.
Joe is correct in saying that this game just does not deserve a 0-4. But a 5-7 I feel is completely fair. How is 4 even bad? Its combat is infinitely more complex than DmC and has much more room for creativity and depth. While the plot and level design was sub-par, the combat is the best in the genre. And that's why I play DMC.
Plus am I the only person who just doesn't give a single f*ck about the style system? I play games to have fun not worrying about what achievements or trophies I get because it's all pointless to me and it's not like it holds any relevance in my life. I can score SSS rankings in the previous games easily as well but it's not like I ever gave a sh!t about it. If I did then oh look I did but I was just worried about having fun with the game and I'd rather skip this scoring count game and just get back to slashing demons.
Sure, I guess it's not a big deal if you don't care about any depth in the gameplay or a higher skill ceiling. Enjoy the watered down combat I guess.
If your a fan of Devil May Cry then you owe it to yourself to play another good game in the series because this is a hell of alot of fun. If you don't have fun with DmC then maybe you're just a boring person because I wouldn't know what to tell you then. If I see that generic anime bs again which left me with not giving a single f*ck about DMC then I might just not care anymore. They wouldn't have decided to reboot if everything was going in the right direction. DmC is taking the series in an interesting direction and breathing a breath of fresh air into to something that was on the verge of stagnation and losing its way whether you want to admit it or not.
I played it, have recently beat it on DMD and the game still doesn't deliver. I find it funny how you call anyone who disagrees with you a boring person when you're the one who seems to be taking the over the top and nonsensical story of the previous games so seriously.
