Honestly i don't think 4 is that bad a story. If you were to rank the stories in DMC, it be #3 on the list behind the 3rd game and the reboot. The bottom of the list is the anime and 2.
The list is longer i just cut to the end.Damn son, you deem DMC1's so bad/barebones to not include it on the list when even DMC2 is? XD
A kid crying out his girlfriend's name like numerous times, Nero is nothing but a "discount Dante", over-the-top, childish cutscenes, and no character growth and development for us as players to care for them. Yeah, what a great story. The only valuable the devs have for the series is the combat gameplay, while they just say screw the story and characters. Just make them flashy and over melodramatic.Honestly i don't think 4 is that bad a story. If you were to rank the stories in DMC, it be #3 on the list behind the 3rd game and the reboot.

Plus it could be worse. We could have had as big a mess like NG3.
I'm not arguing that 4 is some secret masterpiece, I'm just saying its not as bad as it could've been. Hack and slash games weren't really known for it's storytelling until recently and DMC was one of the good ones.A kid crying out his girlfriend's name like numerous times, Nero is nothing but a "discount Dante", over-the-top, childish cutscenes, and no character growth and development for us as players to care for them.

Trust me, it could've been worse, like Ninja Gaiden 3 level bad.
The stories of God of War series, proves otherwise.I'm not arguing that 4 is some secret masterpiece, I'm just saying its not as bad as it could've been. Hack and slash games weren't really known for it's storytelling until recently and DMC was one of the good ones.

I haven't played them outside of the PS4 one so I'll take your word for it.The stories of God of War series, proves otherwise.
