So I figured now's as good a time as any to reminisce about the first time you guys played this game and what you thought of it. So much can change in just three years!
Three years ago, I was still living with my parents. When the game released, I wasn't even - what you can consider - a gamer. I had a PlayStation Vita and I kept up with gameplay videos (preferably TheRadBrad), but that was it. Then one day, I saw a picture of Dante on Tumblr, and thought to myself, "damn, that guy is hot." So I looked him up on YouTube and watched a movie edit of DmC. I liked it. I even posted several screens on my Tumblr account (screens taken from the YT video, yes it was bad). Anyways, a few weeks later I ended up buying a used copy of DmC and Uncharted 2 for the PS3. I didn't even have a PS3 back then! I was so happy with them I had them lying next to my pillow in bed.
Summer 2013, and I was finally able to afford a PS3. Of course, the first game I played on it was DmC, because I had the game already. I was not ready to handle how much I was going to fall in love with the game. The first thing I fell in love with was the environment. I was straight up drooling, sitting there in the living room. I also liked the use of angel and demon pull, and thought the combat was smooth and very enjoyable. (Plus, I still thought Dante was hot! It took me, I think, two months before I changed my Tumblr name to dantesbooty.)
Three years have passed and my parents are not in the country anymore, I finished numerous therapy sessions, I began and quit college, found a different job and now I'm here. Me and a friend were thinking about sending Ninja Theory a book containing several fanarts of the game as a way to say thanks but since I missed this deadline I thought it could be a good idea for the fifth anniversary. 2018, so much could be different for me by then, but some things can still be the same. DmC can still be one of my favorite games, and you'll all still know me here as Ducky or SSSensational.
Anyways, even if I did enjoy the game very much, I didn't expect it to end up being one of my all-time favorites. That's something I didn't see coming. I guess you could say - and I warn you, it's that cheesy John Green quote - I fell in love (with DmC) the way you fall asleep, slowly at first, then all at once.
I'd love to hear your stories!
