Now wait a second.
I know P2 had a crappy story, and a worse character, but there were a lot of things done right however. improved combat mechanics, a more color filled city, and three different new places to go.
Though I prefer Mercer, I won't say Heller was completely bad. He was funny, action-first-questions-later, and it fit with the sheer destruction of P2.
And lastly, the only reason I would agree that DmC isn't a good franchise continuation is because it's not the right comeback Devil May Cry needed, but for me, it was the Devil May Cry I wanted.
But it's obvious Capcom will go back to the classic series.
