For the longest time I've hated this game (as I've hated this game ever since the 2010 trailer up to now). My hatred may seem irrational (and I won't lie, it somewhat is) but I do have legitimate reasons to hate it. I have played the demo and saw videos of the full game (which all it is is an extended version of the demo, the only real difference is a few additional and negligible weapons) 1. The story is god awful and full of holes (And this is all coming from the guy who said he would create a video game story that could rival Hollywood movies, disregarding the fact that video game stories already have done that in the past) and pretty much all the characters are outright unlikeable. 2. While on a surface level the control scheme is the same, there are notable changes that are just f***ing terrible. I mean why the hell do I have to hold down the shoulder button to switch stances? Enjoy your carpal tunnel by the way Why are there two dodge buttons? Why is there no manual lock-on button? Also devil trigger is not it's own dedicated button? If you're playing this game after having beaten all four of the original Devil May Cry games, this is utterly jarring and in general is bad game design. 3. The washed out colors of the environments is a real eyesore and I have to look away from the screen every 15 minutes and the unreal engine looks utterly terrible in this game (I mean like even worse than usual, most other games tend to have passable visuals using the UE), stick to the MT Framework Capcom. 4. Color Coded enemies. WTF IS THIS!? I've come across a hack n' slash game that basically makes half your arsenal useless against certain enemies. Who's F***ing idea was this? 5. Tameem and his wretched f***ing PR. How does this dibs*** still have a job after having made 4 games, none of which have broke even? The more I have to think about it the more it pisses me off. 6. The fans. It's OK to like this game, that's your opinion but when you tell me to my face to go f*** myself for saying I like the previous games a million times more that's where I have to draw the line. It's already hard to believe people believe this better than either DMC1, 3, or 4 individually but if you wanna tell me it's better than all 3 combined, then just stop talking to me OK. 7. "I don't care if it sells 1000 copies or a million..." That one was for s***s and giggles and hopefully a wake up call for Capcom to get their act together.
If you like it more power to you, just don't try to force me to like it.
