By Nick Henderson on January 22nd, 2013 (9 comments)
DmC has finally arrived! It has survived the harsh onslaught of skeptics and has turned out to be a surprise hit among critics! Jeff and Nick spend some time discussing their initial thoughts on the game thus far.

I have been around since the very early days of 4Player but you may know me as “the short one” or the guy who is really into Dexter and that sweet new DmC reboot. I am a gaming enthusiast at my core and I love sharing my opinions on the subject with anyone who will listen. I am a cautious optimist and will try any game at least once. When it comes to gaming, I prefer to leave no stone unturned.

Why no Brad, I thought he played it aswell?
Link / ReplyDon't worry, we will be discussing the game on tonights podcast so Brad will have his say.
Link / Replythat's fine but actually having two different views on something would make for a much better discussion i feel. I also want to say that the review score on metacritic doesn't represent the "general public" at all.
Link / ReplyStückBrot is right having two different views on something is what we need on Audible Impressions for example the guys discussing Hitman absolution didn't know a lot about the hitman series really need to have Brad on as well for that one
Link / ReplyHey Nick did you hear that they are going to be releasing an old Dante skin pack in Japan first and maybe NA/EU later. What are your thoughts?
Link / ReplyOnly thing I don't like about this game is the engine it's run on. Everything else I'm interested in.
Link / ReplyDmC is an alright game, and I think that's why old fans of the series aren't happy. It's not that they think the old games are somehow ruined by this game, it's that Devil May Cry is in the hands of, quite frankly, a lesser developer and using less optimized development tools. The series has always evolved and while this is definitely Ninja Theory's best game combat wise, it's not an evolution of the character action genre. I hated the platforming sections, that's really the only egregious piece of game design. As far as the story goes it's really nothing new or original, it's easily Ninja Theory's worst. It's They Live combined with the Slurm episode of Futurama with terrible dialogue and sub-par voice acting. The use of Limbo was also in Bayonetta, even with the whole transparent people on a different plane.
Link / ReplyDo you guys prefer the older anime type story from the older DMC's, or the more kind of serious/political sotry of the newer DMC? And what do you guys think Ninja Theory was trying to do with the story?
Link / ReplyThat is the sickest opening tune I've heard in a long time. What is it? I need to know.
