DMC is great. DmC is shit. From the terrible story,characters. Donte is just what a 1999 edgy film thinks is cool. The combat is simplified in a terrible way. You can button mash your way to S rank. Level design is awful. We also go from fun dialogue to again when some 45 year old man thinks is cool and edgy from the late 90s with FUCK consisting of 90% of the dialogue. Poor art design. Also the Fox news bias is thinly veiled. No real consistency with Donte.

We go from this

 

To this crap

funny, I think this game is a really good action game. Maybe because I'm not a devil may cry fan.

Don't even have to be a DMC fan. It's not even a good actiongame. Most western studio's suck at action games because they are more than not terrible at combat. Even God of War is pretty bad in combat. Platinum and in Team Ninja's peak are some of the best action games ever made. Ninja Gaiden II and Bayonetta 2 are easily the greatest action games ever created. GoW owes it's existence to Castlevania Lament of Innocense and Rygar. They pretty much ripped them off in combat but more simplified. Button mashing is not good. It doesn't make good combat. A good action game is not that disimilar to a fighting game. Pulling off a combo and knowing timing and cancels (another issue with many western combat systems is you cannot cancel). Platinum is made of former Capcom talent who made DMC and Okami.

 

As a DMC fan they aliented the fanbase. Said Dante belonged in gay films. Mocked the fanbase. DMC4 best selling in the series. Capcom rebooted the best selling game and EXPECTED the reboot to sell LESS and well it bombed hard. You don't alienate your fanbase.
