I just recently played it on Steam and I really really liked it. I'm not even into games like this really the only other game like this I've liked was ninja gaiden and that's it. No surprise that both were made by the same dev.

I also thought the story was really good to. The one flaw was the sound track could get annoying sometimes. As for why it sold poorly? I have no idea maybe DMC just has a small fan base and everyone who wanted to play it already did.

Ninja Gaiden  was made by team ninja and DMC by Ninja theory


Yea your right I got them confused. Just realized they made Ensalved as well. Added that to my wish list going to get it when it's on sale.

Real comparison is with Dmc4 SE. Though Dmc4 will only be digital in west.

Wait what this is a question?



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

Simple, nobody asked for this remaster.

I hope this becomes a lesson to devs all around the world that you can't just remaster anything and think it's good.

1.- its a port of a game no that popular to begin with
2.-Bayonetta was the big game for the wii u when it came out (there was literally no other game to buy for the wii u in the same month and it came after a drought). DMC ermm i didnt even know when it was launched
3.- ITs a frigging port!!!

Well deserved, I hope DMC4 Remaster sell at least 2 times better than this to show Capcom what direction to follow with DMC5.

But the comparison is not fair since Bayonetta 2 is a new game, exclusive, had more advertising and will likely approach 1m+ sales eventually.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Close enough to be considered the same. Both are Japanese developers too.


¬¬! U should check their records.  there is no such a thing as breast physics on Ninja theory's games and they care about character developtment and story, so no, they arent alike at lot (except fot the name LOL XD)

Do you think Capcom will stand by what they said, and being this will sell less than two mil, is it time for Dante to take the big nap?

Well, I dont believe CAPCOM would allow DmC to the final verdict. Most likely something developed by CAPCOM themselves would call the shot. DMC is fine, the director of Dragon's Dogma already said he plans for me.
