It was a perfectly fine game.

The reaction made it sound like it was Sonic 06 or Bomberman Act Zero .

No but for real I fucking loved it. Donte is an awesome edgy as fuck protagonist and fit perfectly into the world.

I wonder if people will warm up to Metroid Other M when Prime 4 finally comes out?

I hope not.

Did you play the original or special edition?

The special edition fixed a lot of problems from the original.

Perfectly fine, if not a tad boring, game.
Bad Devil May Cry game.

Gameplay wise it's fine for the most part, what people hated was Dante's redesign, it being a reboot that doesn't stay faithful to the lore, and how edgy and lackluster the story, dialogue and cinematics were(Particularly the unnecessary sex scene). Ninja Theory was like "Let's reboot the series and make it solely for a American caucasian teenage punk audience!" and that is what we got. In fact DmC reminds me of how the RE series was done with RE7 and RE8, except RE7 was way more successful in comparison and we still have to wait to see how RE8 turns out sales wise.

the bill oReilly guy was cool but I agree outside of him. Its just a really mediocre game that made the mistake of taking a well loved character and remaking him poorly

It openly mocked and insulted the fan base that was supporting the series, even after one of the most mediocre sequels in history DMC 2. It acted like Dante, a fun and exciting character was obsolete.

I loved it myself.

I never got the hate. It was better than DMC1 and DMC2. It had fun gameplay, a fantastic art direction(the way walls would elongate and the world would change as you moved through it is still incredible to this day). Story was fun, not life changing. Vergil was fun, and his gameplay was fantastic.

And yeah this was part of it. Don't get me wrong, some fans reacted way over the top, but the devs threw the first shots.

I still remember the DANTE IS and DANTE IS NOT presentation they did, complete with photoshopping DMC4 Dante into Brokeback Mountain with the implication of that being a bad thing. Weird that some games journalists still worship DmC today and ignore that Ninja Theory was doing that type of shit to promote it.

It had one of the most hostile attitudes towards fans I've seen from a game studio, made all the worse by the press going along with it.

The game really, really didn't like women. The story had a whole host of other problems too but they're all golden next to the sniper rifle abortion.

The gameplay was ok after they added a truckload of patches. The Vergil DLC was still ass though even if Vergil himself played alright.

The best elements of it were picked up in DMC5 and now there's no reason to ever play DmC, except maybe to be reminded of that very specific period of gaming history where wearing fedoras and calling everyone sheeple was considered nerd cred.

Imma be honest, I think this was Capcom's doing.

Why? Because Ninja Theory was legitimately trying to make just a straight remake of DMC. There is concept art that is straight up a westernized OG Dante. But Capcom said no, and asked them to do something entirely different.

Capcom easily could have stepped in at any point and told NT to stop. But they didn't. And Tameem, the guy who was acting like such a douchenozzle in the DmC interviews? Yeah, every interview since he's been nice.

I think Capcom was trying to drum up controversy, or make DmC seem better...or something. Ninja Theory wasn't Capcom, after all, and was hired by them. This was their project.

The gameplay was fine, and the level design was the best of the series. But the story, dialogue, and characters were fucking atrocious, and that's what attracts a lot of people to DMC.

And of course the press run didn't help at all.

Yeah the enemy color coding was pretty dumb. Apparently they scaled it back in the re-release. Also the way they handled Devil Trigger was weird.

It just wasn't the Devil May Cry. Rebooting failed franchises is totally fine, but Devil May Cry wasn't a failed franchise. EVERYONE still knows Dante and loves him, hence Devil May Cry 5 being a massive success. There was no reason to do what they did in DmC.Just seemed like another case of suits who have know idea what gaming is making decisions.

It was still fun tho.

I will say the DE is way better and makes the game pretty good by action game standards. Still a bad Devil May Cry though.

And they removed Vergil's fedora in the DE which is the funniest goddamn thing.

It had moments where you could see potential in it, and while I enjoyed it for what it was there were numerous moments I didn't care for. I would have liked to see what could have been done gameplay wise in a sequel.

It's because of the whole tone shift and writing quality, really. Gameplay-wise it was kind of a downgrade from DMC3 & 4 as well, but it was a decent game otherwise.
