DmC Launches to Critical Acclaim

TPR: Will Powers writes, "Old Dante or new Dante, cynics be damned… DmC is incredible. DmC, Capcom’s reboot of the Devil May Cry franchise launches today in retail stores as well as day-in-day digitally on PlayStation Network, and boasts the second-highest critical rating in franchise history."

New DMC reminds me of when hollywood makes game movies and does it wrong. IDK I get that feeling from it. I guess new Dante has his fans, but I like the old Dante.

I love the old dante, huge fan of the old DMC games. I understand this is a reboot and there are changes, but im a GAMER, and if a game is good i dont give a shit.

People need to stop being so overdramatic about this reboot...it's a GOOD GAME...at least RENT IT...damn.

Dont be like the fakeass gamers.

Despite my disdain for both the direction the game has taken and the company behind it. I will say congrats to those who were looking forward to it. I didn't want them wasting money, so at least it's a good game for them. I just hope they show older fans some love as well some time in the future.

Gameplay-wise it's much in a similar vein as the originals, but stylistically that's where the biggest shift is. I feel like they've made a nice homage to the original while trying to court new fans.

I mean, I played the demo and the combat felt way too easy... That's one of my biggest complaints. It didn't feel like it took any skill. The old ones you had to constantly be thinking about which moves to use next during combos. In this one it seemed like that had all been thrown out the window.

I think it looks nice and is worth my time. Vets would have to be an absolute hater of progress to not even give this game a chance. We had a DMC2 before we got 3 y'know.
