Dude, I'm not trying to sway you over to see it my way. I could say you're being overly harsh in regards to DMC 3, but I won't, because nothing is perfect.
PG-cartoon like bosses? Touche - I'll give you that one. I still loved that game (well, who wouldn't really, it had TWINS!)
Sanctus...yeah, okay. So fighting some crazed old guy isn't exactly big hype. That really doesn't become an issue unless you've been with DMC from day 1, which in my case, I haven't. I got into DMC because of DMC4, so I feel obligated not to bash it at all (except for Nero, I can't help bashing him)
And no, I wasn't going to say any of the stuff you mentioned last. You're way off my line of thinking. So, you're in favour of the games I'm not. Shall we agree to disagree before a verbal fight ensues?
