Amazing game, but f**k them for leaving us with a cliffhanger -_-
The game scored nicely and sold good... but no... they had to screw us over with no DmC 2.

Preordered it. The OG version was and still is straight out crap. DE made it much better. As a DMC game it was a major disappointment due to its simplicity around combat mechanics. As a generic action game without the DMC brand, it's ok with great level design.
Fedora-wearing, quickscoping Vergil was an outright crime though.

Lol it was such a ridiculous moment. Don't know what they were thinking when they made that scene.
"Ok guys, listen up! We need to get serious.. I'm proposing the idea of having Fedora Vergil quickscope a pregnant demon" like wtf
It didn't sell well which is why there was no DmC 2. It was supposed to sell 2 million, it sold 1.15 million. It's only 7 years later that it's gotten to 2.4 million, with much of those sales at a hefty discount. It's too bad for fans that it ended on a cliffhanger, but it's not like Capcom did that to spite those fans.
Delusional posts like these are almost enough to give me a dissociative episode.
Fucking how do people even come up with this stuff?
And yet, it was practically written, designed, marketed, and promoted as a giant "fuck you" to fans of the classic series, so ‾\_(ツ)_/‾
Did anybody else lol playing this game when they couldn't even bother to pronounce Mundus' name correctly? The name is said within the first couple minutes of DMC1, I've always wondered if NT only read it and never watched the opening cutscene of DMC1, or if the Voice Actors mispronounced it and NT didn't think it was important.
Well said! When you factor in DMC2 as well it's crazy what this series has been through and still triumphed.
If it makes you feel better, apparently in the Definitive Edition there's a more definitive ending
QUE TE JODAAAAAAN...
Preach. The original game was a hot garbage, dunno wtf NT was smoking when they made some of those decisions. The DE improved so much on it with its massive changelog that you can say its a completely different game.

I'm sorry that I prefer a different game than you? No need to take it so personally.
The first time I played the game on Xbox 360 I couldn't get past it only being 30fps. Then I bought the PS4 Definitive Edition and it became one of my favourite games of all time. I really don't get the hate.
Why not just make the next game bloody palace with some cutscenes.
Sorry but the original TGS version is the one I wanted explored compared to the finished product NT put out. Similar with Asura's Wrath ironically...
I do remember being on Gamefaqs and people saying Dante went too far putting the cigarette out on the demon's face which made me chuckle.
I dunno how you can be confused about this. A lot of the main series has a super goofy, doesn't really take itself seriously tone. Dmc went a lot edgier with its humor and, it really doesn't work. It makes dante an asshole as opposed to a loveable goof.
Not sure whether your conjectures are true or not but it doesn't even matter.
Do you think that marketing effort justifies 7 years of grudge and vile behaviour ?
Seriously, go check the threads on the old place right around the release time, and you'll see the same names making the same arguments 7 years ago. Heck, maybe you were there making the same arguments as well, i'm not sure.
If you think that's healthy or even acceptable behaviour, i don't know what to tell you.
Which brings me back to the obsessive part of the equation, some of you take ' being a fan of a franchise ' narrative way, way too seriously.
The combat was outright trash. Whoever the hell thought up the idea of having color coded enemies that can only be hurt by the color matched weapon was a damn fool and has clearly never even played devil may cry. It's like they took the dumbest aspect of Heavenly Swords combat and said "yeah let's ruin this with it too"
Capcom's biggest embarrassment last gen. Glad this shit rightfully failed.
The only good thing about it was that it made DMC5 all the more sweet when we finally got it.

You say this:
Then you say this:
And you don't realize why I compared it to The Last Jedi?
Also watch your fucking mouth when you talk to or refer to me.

No? Even as a shitty gotcha this doesn't work. TLJ built on what was there and took it in a different (by Star Wars movies standards) direction. It didn't literally reboot the entire fiction's world and spend the marketing talking about how classic characters were bad and gay (which is bad for some reason).
A large portion of the original fanbase didn't like the direction taken in the latest installment and how it was otherwise different from what they had come to expect, while other people liked it for what it was and enjoyed the updated and alternate idea of the story and characters.
Am I talking about The Last Jedi or DmC?
It's the only DMC game I've ever played or have the intention of playing and I had a great time.
Have you played Dark Void, Operation Raccoon City, or Bionic Commando? DmC is far from the worst thing Capcom did last gen lol
You're talking about DMC4 as much as those.
Your paragraph describes every not 100% beloved sequel ever, and has little link to why either of those things were "controversial"
Not the first two but was Bionic Commando the 360/ps3 one? If so yeah I played that awful pile of trash lol.
I think DmC stood out more to me because it has a well established gameplay foundation and simple things like the color coding are completely at odds with what its about.
It's a game that is both pointless and mean.
There's a lot of genuine talent on display and it's a shame it's in service of DmC. There's no doubt in my mind that the team was probably pretty damn talented, but rather than using it to show that the west can totally make great character action they instead watered down what made DMC unique whilst rev entering the game around incredibly toxic themes and characters.
When I first played it when I was younger I thought it was completely fine, but the older I get the more the game kinda disgusts me. Like, not the gameplay obviously, but the plot just makes me feel bad.

Not really on either count. There's a difference between not liking new iterations because of a change in direction or slight modifications to established systems and not liking a paradigm shift for a franchise.
DMC3 to DMC4 was nowhere near the leap from DMC4 to DmC, just as ESB to ROTJ was nowhere near the leap from TFA to TLJ, in terms of subverting expectations.
Hence, why I referred to TLJ in the first place.
I really like the scene, when Kat gets captured by the police and Donte tells her, how to act. It shows, how much experience he has with this (similar to his comment, when inviltrating the upside down prison, that he never thought, he would break into a prison one day), and she is so frightened. Gives me goosebumps.
I liked the idea of how much he's been through in general. But I had a feeling they don't really go anywhere with it, more mentioned as a sidenote. And they go way overboard with him tearing his chest open with this picture that looked to stupid, that I was never sure if he really means it literally. (Similar to the strange scene, where kid Donte holds his dead mother in his arms, three times his size, like carrying his bride over the doorstep.)
Another great scene is the brothers visiting the playground. Love those graffities in the background, while Vergil tells their story.
But it is a damn shame there is not even a single flashback of them as kids with their mother. The place seems super irrelevant. They just walk past, it doesn't make any difference if they were there or somewhere else.

I'd say 5 is about where they need to be as far as level design is concerned. Nothing more, and nothing less. Not that you're particularly interested in my opinion in the first place.
Mediocre game and a terrible decision to greenlight the project in the first place. I stand by the opinion anyone who loves this game outright has not played, or tried to understand, the originals in any meaningful capacity.
The Last Jedi is probably the second best Star Wars movie, while DmC is almost prequel level trash, so yeah, your comparison was ridiculous.
I've never seen a more keyboard warrior post on this forum, lmao. Take it down a notch, champ.
You do realize that putting me on ignore would be way more effective than childishly demanding that I heed your whims on a public forum, right? Take responsibility for your own online experience.
Turns out, being actively antagonistic to fans of a series isn't a great way to sell a product.
It's literally the only Devil May Cry game I've enjoyed. I'm fine with that series not being for me though.
How in the world do yo know this user has "7 years of grudge and vile behaviour" because he doesn't like this game?
How is commenting on a forum about a game across x years, say once a year or something, "obsessive"?
Nice strawman but the only one who sounds nuts here is you.
First off, i have no personal stake here, i've never played any of the games in the series, so my perspective is clear, i don't have any emotional attachment over the subject unlike some people, wink wink.
Second, creatively editing posts will not get you anywhere. I did not accuse that or any other poster for that matter, with any specific behaviour, i just noted the tone and the general actions of the fanbase. You have various people in this thread stating they are surprised how things started a bit less heated and toxic this time around, there is a well documented vile behaviour regarding this game so i don't see the need to legitimize my statements.
Lastly for semantics. You may or may not like the game, i don't care and that's not the point. Making the same tired arguments years and years after the fact is by it's very and dictionary meaning; obsessive.

The Last Jedi is the worst non-prequel Star Wars movie, while DmC is better than 3 of the 5 other games in the series. Aren't opinions wonderful?
Says the guy who calls people delusional when they say things he disagrees with. Also, "champ" Lol what are you, 12?
Again, calling somebody "delusional" for having an opinion different than your own is highly disrespectful and I simply (and strongly) told you to choose your words more carefully when they involve me instead of being a edgy little shithead and calling my mental health into question. Especially when being an adult and respectfully disagreeing was a perfectly reasonable option on the table. Take that as you will. You're of course free to do as you wish.
It's the dumbest, most childish cutscene, and I understand why it's infamous. But I won't lie it, makes me laugh. It's the sheer absurdity of it all. So yeah, I'm glad for it lol.
(Still need to play it, own a cheap copy from a pawn shop)
