"2013's DmC Devil May Cry remains one of the most controversial reboots in all of videogames. Survivors of the DmC Wars still talk in hushed tones and reverence for the lives lost, but maybe the time has come to heal.
Or maybe not. We'll see what happens when I argue for DmC's right to be counted among its peers. With the Definitive Edition out now, it's as good a time as any!"

DmC's a perfectly fine game with some issues. It's certainly nowhere near as shit as Devil May Cry 2.

DmC is a decent game. It just isn't a good Devil May Cry game, and that's the primary issue here. If it was called anything but Devil May Cry, it wouldn't be as poorly looked on. Doesn't help that the game went out of its way to try and piss off the DMC fans who weren't happy with what they were seeing from the game before its release.

It also doesn't help that Metal Gear Rising released like a month later and ended up being a million times more enjoyable and better while not insulting anyone that enjoyed the games that came before it. Not to mention that the original Bayonetta was still a far better game that, once again, didn't talk down to or insult people that enjoy the genre.
Additionally EXTREME DEMON BABY SNIPER ABORTION. Mangy Crackhead (he ain't Dante to me) has none of the charm that Dante has and Ninja Theory don't understand that the only person that thinks that Dante is cool in universe is Dante himself, everyone looks at him as a gigantic loser albeit one that is a strong fighter. But then they try and push this cool, edgy main character that is not likable at all and isn't even as flashy.
Finally there's shit like Mangy Crackhead & the succubus just screaming f*** you at each other since that's clearly something that Dante would do.

I always thought Dante just looked like Murdoc from the Gorillaz. |

It's decent and technically better than 2. But then Ninja Theory can only really make decent games while acting like they're making the best games to ever grace God's Green Earth. Hell, Dante's new look is directly based off of one of NT's head honchos. I forget his name, but he bares a resemblance to Stu Pickles.
Though I also wonder if intentionally pissing off the older DMC fans was Ninja Theory's idea or Capcom's. Because it makes sense for it to be either one. Like with Capcom executives' temper tantrums about the game not selling well and blaming it on the fans for not accepting their edgemeister new creative vision of DMC.

Either way, from what I hear, the HD collection or whatever it's called they're making, they're seemingly making some retcons, likely to appease fans. We already know they removed a hat Virgil had in one of the games because it was unpopular, so there will be more, I'm sure. |
