DmC Devil May Cry

Enbargo is over and game is getting awesome scores… Which it deserves... Seriously one of the most fun games I played and the design of the levels is just beyond awesome. Just awesome too look at.
Of coruse there is stuff they can improve but for the first game of a reboot it is just awesome and personally far more interesting as DMC4, which was just half of a game after all.
-
Well, "finished" yesterday the game on normal modus, with lots of stuff not done (never found those damn keys-.-), and it looks like you got in every lvl lots of stuff do to, as soon as you've gotten new Weapons and skills. So there is still lots to do, which is great and gives an higher replaychance, and I'm looking forwards to it. I'm also looking forwards to the additional bonuspacks and "Vergil's downfall". Sadly I still need to wait for Vergil's Downfall until end of January =(
Personally, I think they could have made a nice prequel to DMC 3, you would have only needed to fix 2-3 Storypoints and voila, a nice prequel. I would even like it as prequel! Maybe they had it even setuped as a prequel? The End would explain how it went on from the limbus to the "demons are in the real world"…
The graphic is (for me as casual gamer) real awesome and the setup of the levels are nice. Also, I thought the lvls were a bit long... For lots of lvls I needed like 20-30min, and still got A-Ranking for the used Time... But the lvls were good made, so the time flew by and you didn't realize it. On the other hand, 1-2 weeks ago I replayed DMC3 and 4, so in the first moments of the lvls I was like "what the fu**?". Really needed to get used to it =/ But after 2-3 lvls it was quite fun, but I needed the thought in the back of my head, that this is a new game, standing on its own feet. Hope you get what I mean^^
The gameplay is a bit special without the "lock on"... I would have preferred having the lock on button back, instead of 2 dodge buttons... Also I can't understand, why they changed attacks like stinger from "one forward and attack button" to "two times forward, then attack button". Because of that, I mostly forgot to use such skills, which is especially sad for my beloved stinger attack =(
One point where I'm not sure how to put it, are the weapons. Especially fighting weapons you had more than enough... I was somehow overchallanged (?^^), with all of those weapons and fighting methods. Especially that you could use everything with like a second delay...! As casual gamer I would have preferred the method of DMC 3, where you've chosen 2 fightingweapons for this lvl and that's it. Or you could have made it to 3 weapons. I've hardly used Rebellion because I needed (hmpf!) to spam the other weapons, and mostly just spamed the other ones unnoticed (always held the button to use the other weapons down, because of the habit from DMC3, where on the same button was the lock on button lol^^).
Well, I think ppl should give the game a chance. It's awesome if you just keep in mind, that its a alone standing game. To "germanplayers" I personally suggest to try to play it on english... The german speaker of Dante sucks... (only my personal feeling, never played a DMC in German before).

Well so far the reviews have been very good to great across the board. Lowest review I've seen has been a 3/5 from, well, Adam Sessler. Everyone else has been the equivalent of a 4/5 and even a few 5/5's. Wonder how pissed the "DMC Elite" are, I dare not venture to find out less I facepalm myself into a coma. I will say tho that I've already encountered a few on some gaming sites who are posting spoilers to try and ruin the game for people, be mindful of that if you plan on getting it.
I'll have to pick this up when it gets cheap (I'd probably pick it up sooner but there's a lot of games coming out and DmC wasn't exactly on my radar).
-
One of the main problems(well to be honest it is the biggest problem for me) I had with DmC is it felt rather choppy as it turns out it wasn't just the demo it's a ps3 specific thing.
The 360 version seems to be a lot more smooth and in a super fast game like dmc this is a pretty big deal in my opinion.I think I can be a lot more enthusiastic for it when it gets patched or even better if the pc version turns out to be good (60fps and no choppyness that is rather appealing).
I'm also quite a bit more positive now hearing a lot of praise for the story, I hope it's not just people speaking in relatives of it being a good story for a dmc style game.
-
Played some of it, story felt too GenX for me, desperate to be cool but I've seen this before in other media, so it just felt like a retread. The VAs don't seem to be putting their all into their voices which also kills a bit of the experience for me as well. This Dante isn't terrible and at least we know where he's coming from as oppose to the dude in the original game whose past we only get glimpses and small bits insight into. But he feels too subdued and not much so jovial.
I like the concept though, They Live meets Constantine, and the shifting city was one of the better aspects I enjoy. Gameplay was pretty good, the difficulty felt right, you got more room to move around in and its nice to finally get a camera helping with the battle.
Overall I say its pretty average, nothing new for the series but nothing too bad neither.

I played it on the xbox 360 and the levels itself are gooing realy smoothly. But before the level starts, the loadingtimes are extrem long (for my feeling) and it allways lags a bit, when the grading comes at the end of the mission.
But the gameplay with switching weapons and starting combos and so on is going realy smooth.

Have you installed the game yet? That usually helps in that regard.
-
Uhm, installing the game? O,o I only use the xbox casually and got it 2nd hand, so I have no Idea what's everything possible xD
I've seen ppl talking about changing the language to english on the ps3, is this also possible with the xbox?You can also send me a pm, so that we do not spam this thread with my noob xbox skills^^

On the 360 dashboard have the game icon (Play DmC) highlighted and press X. This'll take you to the games detail page, install is one of the options there. All 360 games are installable and is almost required with how loud the system is when reading discs.

Knew this was coming: http://gematsu.com/2013/01/dmc-devil-may-cry-costume-dlc-announced
Funny that the complainers gotta pay $5 for it tho.

Yeah, the game has actually been getting some high marks from almost every review site.
Contrast with the user ratings on Metacritic which are all really bad
I have to admit, from what I played of the demo I liked the mechanics as an action game but all the dialog, the writing (those overextended f-bombs in that boss battle) just sounds so juvenile and sophomoric in what I can only perceive as the lowest common denominator of what's "cool" (that actually seems to be the biggest complaint I'm seeing around the board).
I'll be waiting on a price drop as well, in the meantime I did manage to score the DMC HD Collection from a bargain bin, so I've got that on my backlog.

People are saying a lot of the reviewers are bought off. Says something about the industry when I can't decide if that's true or just butt-hurt fans.
-
^ People say that stupid shit all the time by that same logic the only reason Resident Evil 6 got piss-poor reviews is because Capcom didn't cut the various reviewers who scored the game a check.

Well Giant Bomb gave the game 5 stars, to put that in a little contrast, GB is a site that essentially got it's start because a man lost his job based on a (rightfully) mediocre review.
I do have to say that the notion that Capcom paid every single game site to give positive reviews of the game or using the "DON'T BE FOOLED THEY'RE PAID TO SAY THAT" as the counter crutch for the reviews is pretty butt-fucking stupid.
That said, my opinion of the game based on the demo remains unchanged.
-
I laughed xD, slight spoilers so be careful
After seeing this review bayonetta seems to stay the crown jewel of the genre for me that needs to be topped.

That's cause it is.

Despite loving Bayonetta, I still think that Dmc1 and 3 had better "stories" (I did not understand wth was going on in Bayonetta), no overload of QTE and things going on screen, less over the top moves.
About the new dmc… well it was actually pretty good nowhere near as good as 1 and 3. I enjoyed the creepiness of the environments, the moves were pretty awesome, great and inventive boss battles, story was meh but I actually thought that the new dante was likable. However
! The finale was lame. I thought Mundus'battle was boring, the team up of Dante and Vergil is nowhere near as great as the one in Dmc3 (vergil was useless and helpless 90 percent of time and spent most of the game in front of a computer) and the final fight against Vergil was rather boring but I did like the fact he was tougher to beat than in dmc3
I would give the game a solid B but to me Dmc1 is an A and Dmc3 is A+. Its definetely better than 4 which was boring as hell.
-
I'll say this much. I'm okay with the new Dante, but my God, I've never had an opinion on a fictional character go from "he seems pretty cool" to "holy shit there are no redeeming qualities to this character what-so-ever and I hope he dies one thousand deaths" than I have with a character like the new Vergil.
-
First, thx for the help with the installation on the xbox 360. Now the loadingtime is alot better! =)
Second: Has anyone of you allready gotten the addon "Vergil's Downfall"? I haven't gotten mine yet (they said, it will come at the end of january), so I do not know the real content, but shouldn't it help abit, pushing vergils charakter to be more likeable?
-
I just finished this game, and as a fan of the series since the first one; I am very pleased. I had a blast with this game, the combat is easy enough to make you look like a bad ass without trying too hard. The graphics were great, and I even liked the music (Helps that I'm a metal-head). I played on normal mode and the difficulty
seemed just right for me. There was quite a lot of hidden things I either missed or couldn't get to because I needed a certain weapon, so I am very much looking forward to another play through probably on the next difficulty up. Oh, and I actually didn't mind the story, especially how it ended. I look forward to where future games in this story line could go. -
Rented this and played about two-thirds of the way through. It's…actually pretty great. Combat is fun, traversal isn't bad, and New Dante honestly isn't terrible. And hell with it, I like the story. I've always enjoyed that Devil May Cry tends to have a snarky/overly-stylized surface wrapped around an ultimately sentimental/romantic core that borders on sappy. This one's no different, and it might .
Might be part of the reason I never could get into Bayonetta. Never could figure out what the hell was the core of the storyline there, primarily due to not really understanding any of it.
-
I bought it from GameStop and returned it after beating it (I never do this, but decided to in this case). It was good, nothing special or mindblowing, but it was a well made game and it did some really cool things. The combat system is truly enormous and allows you to do some pretty wild things if you put the effort. I suck at combos so I often just did the fairly repetitive moves. This game also THROWS weapons at you that you can freely swap between not only on the fly but in the middle of a combo. This was far too intimidating for me to explore. By the end of the game you have 8 weapons… I found myself just not using the earlier ones.
-
The on-the-fly weapon-swapping was as well-implemented as I've seen in a game of this sort. I wasn't great at huge combos, but there was something satisfying about taking on a group of ten baddies with no damage using five to six different weapons without really thinking about it.
