:/ You do know I'm one of those people who probably put up 1,000 hours into DMC4? Mainly for the combat system.
Think before you say something that will offend people. Seriously.

You were forced to use Trickster in DMC4?
Well, I'll remember that next time when I play the game as Nero, since you know? Dante goes through his levels in reverse. And Nero doesn't have styles.

well it says female right below her gender.
But don't worry, lots of people don't pay no mind to that when discussing with others.

You sound like such a pretentious ass. Quite frankly I am happy to hear you are going blind in one eye, and hopefully your second one experiences the same problem.

Funny because that Lucifer scene completely summarises the reason why DMC needed a reboot.
I don't know about a reboot, but it could use a retcon hammer (to bang out those problems in it's canon) and legitimate threats that Dante can't crack jokes through. Also to severely tone down the "doing cool **** for the pure sake of doing cool ****" thing. It was cool the first time, but now I cringe whenever I see that "surfing lady's bazooka missile" scene.
But at least the Lucifer scene was cool AND kinda funny.

Mature audiences can't handle it. It's not realistic and it's fun to watch.
That stuff has no place in a game where you get stabbed by an ELECTRIC sword and come out of it alive, only to swing it round and have fun with it.
This is quite possibly the most disgusting thing I've read today. You don't say that sort of thing to someone ever. That's friggin' low.

Yeah, how dare videogames be funny and irreverant?! DMC3 was nothing like that! It didn't have ludicrous elements like a succubus guitar that fires lightning bats!
SERIES RUINED, only curable with reboot, just like when DMC2 was a rushed miss-step and they didn't make DMC3!

Bit of a low thing to say to someone over an opinion is it not. Less of this or warning will be added.
Kratos, Asura, Cole McGrath. Three out of many characters who are considered "cool" because it comes organically from them and their handling of situations, not because they're near unchallengeable heroes who can't sit in a chair or ANSWER A F--KING PHONE without doing it "with style," and more importantly the story meets them with equal or greater challenges.
Get outta here with your strawman.
There's a line between "being cool" and just showing off. Something the aforementioned characters didn't need to do to get cool points.

All fantasy characters should be dour and utilitarian! There is no place in the world for characters who go about things in an eccentric and unusual way!
Aesthetic variety is for the weak!

But why would you answer the phone normally when you can do it with style? It's not hurting anybody. God forbid a game tries to be interesting.
There will always be places for fantasy characters to show off to an utterly ridiculous degree and be near invincible. Self-insert fanfiction for example.
You have a weird definition of "interesting".

Alright, maybe Dante should pick up the phone normally, Maybe Dante should have just pressed the button on the Juke box and made it work instantly, Dante fighting demons in an over the top manner? Screw that, get out of there dude! Call the cops or something, be realistic about the situation.

Or, you know, heroic fiction stretching back to the dawn of human history.

And really? You bring up DmC as the solution to the problem with indestructible fantasy protagonists? A game where the main character is physically intimidated by a villian ONCE, and the gameplay is so laughably easy that you're unlikely to get a single game over?
Classic DMC's difficulty was a call to action that made you want to aspire to be the indestructible protagonist conveyed in the cutscenes. That aesthetic where Dante was a cocksure joyseeker was something you worked to emulate by being a better player and made the gameplay more satisfying as a result. It's a game design choice that is unique and people respond to in the modern market because barely anyone appreciates why it works so well. If this aesthetic didn't work Devil May Cry would never have been a financial success and this forum wouldn't exist.
Trying to take an action series which thrives on the eccentric, over the top nature of the world and characters it revolves around and "ground it in relatable characters" is completely undermined when you still have to have that game have ludicrously over the top action in order to actually make the gameplay anything like it's predecessors.
