As a Devil May Cry fan, I can never quite tell if people who mention DmC are trolling or not...
As a person who never played a DMC game before DmC, I can tell you that I absolutely loved it. Are the things you dislike about DmC related to your expectations of what a DMC game should be like?
Also, how is your avatar so tall? o_o
Well yes and no.
-Yes
The original Devil May Cry set the bar for a lot of things in the hack-n-slash genre. DmC however represents a few steps in the wrong direction, especially from a
gameplay
perspective.
The original Devil May Cry had some rather light-hearted and "fun" characters/settings. I mean the main character, Dante, ate pizza while surfing on enemies. Don't be mistaken, the original DMC was poorly written, but it was always kind "meant for entertainment" stuff. The new DmC was rather...pathetic(?) on its characters/settings. Take a look at this scene from DMC4 then look at the DmC.
Incredibly different standards right?
---------------------------------
And no.
DmC as a game, not related to the original Devil May Cry series, was a bad game by hack-n-slash standards.
It had pretty awful controls, bad combo's, a bad upgrade system, bad dialogue, and a rather uninteresting story/characters.
Its an average hack-n-slash with no real depth.
Here's probably the best analysis I can find on DmC: Very fair analysis, no DMC-fan bias.
