I played the demo and felt my intelligence insulted by the "bro" attitude and the cheesy lines of dialogue. Not to mention the annoying framerate stutter.

These days, no matter how good the gameplay is, if a game insults my intelligence, it's an immediate pass.


The story in devil may cry always insults your in intelligence.watch YouTube vids of stupid dialogue all over the old ones.

To me, the old games were clearly made with style over substance when it came to presentation. It was almost satirical and the devs managed walk that thin line without coming off as trying to be serious (DMC2 is the exception of course - urgh!). With this new game, it seems to be taking itself seriously when it shouldn't at all and thus ends up feeling stupid. Mind you, that's my feeling from playing the demo only, but my liking this franchise has declined a lot after the first game.

I'll take a pass and simply let people enjoy the game if they so choose. It won't bother me much at all, but I think Ninja Theory needs a new approach to game making. And better technical competencies as framerate stuttering is a (bad) trademark in their games.

Enslaved was only mildly entertaining and I bought it new for 10 pounds. With Heavenly Sword I tried the demo and wasn't interested either.
