You know what?
If I ever call the combat bad, quote this post and call me a hypocrite, but here is my opinion on the game.
While new Dante is annoying as f*ck to me,, and the story just looks like it shoves itself at you. The combat looks fun and responsive, despite being brutal over stylish.
And I have never said the combat looks bad since early 2012 or in some post from people who have played the game, and when I said the combat looks bad there, I quoted them about what parts looked broken.
