@s810: Um. So what about terrible industrial rock music, tacky red leather jackets, ''THIS PARTY'S GETTIN CRAZAAAAAY - LET'S ROCK!'', ''SSSTYLISH!'', Lady & Trish's boob jiggles and, well...

Like, seriously, have you played any of the DMC games before? Of course you have, but I'm asking you such a rhetorical question because of how utterly stupid such a complaint is. DMC has always been a pandering ''extreme'' sort of series that's like some twisted mixture of 80s and 90s culture - the embarrassing parts, though. You're kidding yourself if you perhaps considered the older games to be a little more highbrow or mature. DmC is different sure, and it's understandable as to why you dislike the changes, but don't try and make the original game's sense of style to be anything above what this new one has.

What I'm saying is, Capcom has made the style and personality of the game more immature and cheesy to the point where it is no longer entertaining or inoffensive. In fact, they have stated that they were targeting an even younger audience, so naturally it will even more juvenile. While original Dante comes off as laughably cheesy and entertaining, DmC's Dante seems a bit too much like try-hard "cool guy", and it is just annoying.

I won't even begin to talk about the smoking and the curse fight. Lol.

@s810 Its the same kind of dumb that the original Dante was and I love it.

I would have to disagree with that. DmC's Dante just seems dumb in the annoying and immature way.

Everything about this game looks fucking RAD.

Could you please elaborate how anything but the combat in this game will be rad?

1: Being Ninja Theory the story will be fantastic.

2: It will be something worth playing.

3: Your looking to hate, and that's just rad for you, but give it a shot.

Face it, any story in any DMC was never worth a second look: "It's not about the story it's about the combat!" Is what I really hope you won't tell me. Or: "What are you talking about, the story in DMC is what made it great with the combat!" Cause that would be just silly too...XP

(not directing this part to you.)

Yes that DLC is expensive, but it's FREE as a preorder bonus. Both for the EU and for the US. What is there to complain about, honestly? You don't want it, don't preorder or buy it. You do, just preorder, no money spent until you get full game.

If you all weren't sure, I'm getting the game, it looks awesome.

1: From what I have seen, the cut scenes have been totally unappealing. Mostly because it flips over everything about Hideki Kamiya's original vision of Dante and the Devil May Cry world into an embarassing, loathsome mess targeted to teenagers.

2: The combat looks pretty serviceable, there's no doubt about that. But the redesigns of the characters, the enemies, and settings, and even user interface seem to be a big downgrade from the previous games. It would be hard for me to enjoy the combat when I loathe everything else.

3: I'm just really disappointed.

The story really isn't what is important. Its a video game, an action video game at that. A lengthy story bogged down by cut scenes is not necessary, unless it is interesting enough to complement the game-play, in which DmC's case it isn't from the looks of it. I'm not a fan of games that try to be blockbuster movies.

So are you looking to play this game for the story? If so, that's just silly.

I'm excited for this demo. The game-play itself looks playable enough, yet it still looks underwhelming compared to Metal Gear Rising.

I'm positive that the game-play will be at least decent, but I think everything else surrounding it has embarrassingly bad design.

That being said, there's no way I'm going to pay full price for this. Maybe $20-30 used.

It really does seem that Capcom is trying to make this game seem like the most unappealing game ever.

@AuthenticM:

It may look like Monster Hunter at first glance, but calling it a clone is getting a little carried away. Ragnarok Odyssey is what Monster Hunter would be if it was more focused on fast-paced co-op action instead of simulating actual monster hunting.

Everyone but IGN have been giving it good reviews. The only reason IGN gave it a 5 is because the guy reviewing it expected something different.

It is a co-op monster hunting game. You kill big monsters with your friends or random dudes. Get the loot, craft, and customize your character.

The IGN reviewer expected some kind of epic story-driven RPG or something, he even compared it to Mass Effect. LOL.

But that doesn't matter. It's all about the hunt. If that sounds like fun to you (why wouldn't it?), then no, you didn't waste your money.

Ninja Gaiden 3. My soul was crushed.

And Darksiders 2. Why did I ever pay full price for that buggy mess?

Remember when we got swimsuit costumes for free?
