I'm just not interested in the other games anymore. Unless they really add some game changing elements to it, which they won't, then I don't see the point of it. Most of the naysayers think the answer to what DMC5 should be is DMC4 with more content. Which is exactly what the problem is with the series. It's become TOO combat focused. When you look at the big picture, you realize that the whole experience is pretty shallow. The way it's designed, the levels, the characters, etc - it's about the combat. And it shows. But the hardcore don't want to admit it. That's what DmC was trying to do. Create a more well rounded experience while telling its own unique story.
I don't blame Capcom Japan for believing the game series was stagnant. I would too if I was stuck making these games for fans who think any minor addition/tweak is a game changer. I'd much rather Itsuno and the DMC team continue on with Dragon's Dogma, cause that series shows much more promise than anything the original DMC series could muster.
THANK YOU for being someone who understands the point of a game!
Yes, the DMC series has done nothing but focus on the combat. Makes me even sadder to see that its fans don't really care about anything in the game BUT the combat! Which then, Capcom realizes, "What's the point of this game if we're not doing anything with the story?". See, DMC had something going with mainly TWO of their four games: DMC 1, and DMC 3. Those are the only two games with any story-like relevance. Otherwise, it was nothing but jump, shoot, and hack n' slash. And the fact that 90% of the fans only want to promote that, makes me very upset. DMC 4 had something going, where they were starting to bring in a legitimate storyline with Nero. However, Nero had no story behind himself what-so-ever, save that he was fighting in order to save his love interest, Kyrie. What did Dante and Trish have to do with this aside from doing a job that Lady sends them on, only to take their last roll of bills? Nothing. Not a damn thing. Dante was just DMC 4's half-way point switch to easy mode. That's it...
So yeah, again, ranting aside, sticking to the thread: unless they do something that'll actually grab my attention for what it is I'm looking for in this series, I could give two ****s less about a DMC 5. Yeah, I said it. What? You naysayers and haters gonna rag on me about it? Go ahead. I welcome it. It'll just make you all look silly in the end.
But point being, if there's any hope for Devil May Cry, I say it all rests on the new DmC reboot. And again, I will play it six feet under before I decide I'm done with it. And nothing any of you yahoos who seem to have the single-minded goal of hating everything that's not what they like for nothing, are gonna stop me!
....I'm done now. Go back to playing your games.
