Honestly, at first I was shocked and hated it. I thought they were destroying what DMC was.
I even refused to buy it at first, but then one magic day I noticed a small detail (if I tell you what it was, you'll laugh at me, and I'll never hear the end of it), it got my attention and decided to give it a chance. I looked for some footage on Youtube, and by chance I found the infamous "bigger d!ck" scene. I laughed my a$$ off and decided to watch all the cutscenes, though I was still skeptical.
I had to admit that I liked the environment design, and that I had just fell in love with the new Vergil, so in the end I HAD to buy the game. I loved it ever since.
