I think Giant Bomb is doing OK
Show me where Uncle Dante touched you.
Uncle Dante keeps saying he has a joystick...
He asked me to pull his Devil Trigger.
He... Never mind, I think this will suffice.
DAMMIT UNCLE DANTE STOP PERVERTING MY SOUL WITH YOUR UNDIVIDED DWDHWHDCFWQEFBERFE
Oh god how could Ninja Theory dare ruin this series storytelling.
Because it's two different styles.
DmC is not the same style. It's like how GTA4 did a complete about face and suddenly tried to be super dramatic and realistic when the previous games had you flying a fucking fighter jet upside down and smashing into old ladies.
DMC is supposed to be a DUMB B movie. Not a dumb B movie.
It seems like your issue is that you don't understand the concept of a reboot, something this game has always been promoted as and intended to be. This game was never intended to be like the original series. It was supposed to have it's own style. The whole creative conception of DmC was: "What would Devil May Cry be like if it were created by Ninja Theory?" Despite this, you're complaining that Dante looks and acts different, that the gameplay and story is different, etc.
You must really hate The Dark Knight trilogy. Your argument, in essence is this:
It's two different styles compared to the Burton/Schumacher Batman series.
The Dark Knight is not the same style. It's like how Aliens did a complete about face and suddenly tried to be all action packed and full of monsters when the previous movie had one woman desperately trying to escape a single solitary malevolent presence.
Batman is supposed to be a MELODRAMATIC comic book adaptation. Not a melodramatic comic book adaptation.
THIS IS A REBOOT. A REIMAGINING. AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. You're flipping out because a game that was intended to be a new take, a new style, a new view of a franchise is DIFFERENT TO THE ORIGINAL. It's like complaining that Tekken x Street Fighter is going to be different from Street Fighter x Tekken. In the first game Ryu is supposed to look, control, and act like this. WHY DOESN'T HE DO THAT IN THE OTHER ONE???!?!?!
GTA 4 was expressly set in a different canonical world from the "GTA III trilogy". They said that from the very beginning. That implied that while many gameplay conceits would be the same (and many are), they were attempting to achieve something different with this different subset of the series. They were attempting to tell their own stories, with a more serious tone in a more realistic parody of our world instead of a total sandbox full of toys. Why did they name it GTA? Because it would be stupid to name it anything else for marketing reasons, corporate reasons, and the fact that it's by the same creators and shares many similar facets.
Again, you're complaining that there is inconsistencies in alternate universes that are wholly intended to be different, to draw in a different audience with a new take on a franchise. If you're gonna bitch about that, at least do it when sequels are tonally different within the same timeline, like the aforementioned Alien/Aliens. WIND WAKER? WTF?! Link isn't supposed to be cartoony and mischievous! How dare Twilight Princess make Link an adult. The series is supposed to be a childlike wonder and exploration of the world around you! ARGH! Halo 2! The Covenant aren't supposed to speak English. And why am I playing as an Elite?! Fuck you! Hey JJ Abrams' Star Trek? The planet Vulcan doesn't blow up in my version of Star Trek! You don't even understand anything about StAR TREKS~!!1`1122
If they wanted to do something different, make a new IP. Don't fucking ruin a good thing that still had life in it. Do you know what happens after a reboot happens? I'll spell it out for you, even though you yourself pointed it out with the phrase "original series". You NEVER get another game in the "original" series because now it's the OLD series. This shit ain't Coca Cola. We're never going to see DMClassic. The most we're going to see is original Dante as a DLC costume in MvC4.
