"Fair" DmC Skeptic
well finally got my hands on DmC and beat it a couple minutes ago. so now I will let you guys in on my thoughts concerning the game.
First let me start out with the pros.
- .Story is definitely better than DMC4, I like how the relationship with Dante and Vergil was fleshed out as them being loving brothers to
Possible enemies should their be a later game. In the original series we never got to see Vergil and Dante during their "brotherly years" so
It was a plus for me to see it here. So over all, I would rate the story as a ok one, but the ending was another matter which I will get into later.
- Unlockables where also good in this game. I like being able to unlock costumes and content within the game and DmC definitely delivered here in that respect.
- The Voice acting was really top notch in this, Dante and Vergil voice actors in particular did a great job at catching the emotions in the scenes.
Now on to the bad cons.
- Admittedly this is just a personal reason and taste, but I honestly just don't like this new Dante's design. I've been a fan of the original series for so long
That I just have a vision of what I expect Dante to be as far as appearance goes, and that appearance includes a devilishly handsome white haired red coat wearing badazz.
- Combat left a lot to be desired in comparison to the previous DMC games. It just isn't as stylish or as fluid as say DMC4 or DMC3. It seems pretty obvious to me that once you
compare the combat to the original games that NT would need to work on it more if it wants to improve it from the high bar DMC4 set with its great gameplay. Granted this does not mean
at all that the combat is bad
- Graphics was another thing that I had a problem with. Considering this game was made years after the previous DMC game I would think that NT would have made it a note to make sure the graphics
where superior or at least comparable to DMC4. Once you compare the 2 its obvious that it was lacking.
- The ending is just something I just did not like one bit. I get that some feel it was intentionally done like that to pave a way for a sequel, but I just dislike open endings like that which just ends
leaving you "hanging" so to speak. Having Vergil and Dante have a battle like that and simply having Vergil just get up and leave and the game ending after a few words between Dante and Kat made me feel as if
The ending could have been done better. I feel it could have been done in a way that made the players feel like they got something out of the story by for example having Vergil give 1 final epic speech to Dante
And then having a flash forward to Dante building his Devil May Cry shop alongside Kat with a new attire and new attitude. Granted the story really hasn't ended until we get our hands on the Vergil DLC that is confirmed
To take place after DmC, but having to pay for the real ending never suited my taste.>_<
- Excessive swearing was another gripe I had with it, now now I know some of you are going to scream "But this is a M rated game, what you expect?" but its not the fact that there is swearing in the game that I have a problem with
Its the fact that so many unneeded F bombs get dropped that I feel like NT is trying to force the whole "edgy" thing on the fans.:/
- Difficulty in comparison to the previous series was lacking, not saying the game is easy but I had a harder time with some of the original games than I did with this one.
Now some of you may be asking "why so many comparisons to DMC4 and the previous entries?", well the thing is, considering this is a reboot and a new beginning to the series I love, of course I am going to compare it to those games, mostly
DMC4 which was also released on the current gen system. For me it would have to be able to stack up or compare to that game in some way to even justify this reboot in the first place and while it does have some things over DMC4 I simply think
the combat and graphics where superior in DMC4.
All that being said here is my rating on the game.
7/10
A ok game that left me entertained, but still a game that in my opinion failed to top the other games in the series (excluding DMC2) and leave a lasting appeal on me as a DMC fan.^_^
