You do not play games like I play games, then.

Here is what happened to me in ACIII and I didn't even make these things happen, they just... happened!
-Wolves stuck inside trees (they looked like something out of Mother 3)
-Horses humping their water troughs
-Me exiting a shop and 'falling off of the world'.
-Tea boxes floating in mid-air (Boston Tea Party mission)
-Weaponry floating in mid-air.
-Hands/lockpicks being terribly off (clipping into the side of the lock) in lockpicking chest game.
-Incorrect characters spawning in some locations (poor Redcoat, he keeps on spawning in a fort I liberated, forcing the patriots to immediately kill him every time I quickjump to said fort).
-Lack-of-foresight hilarity:  Try switching to a dagger as your main weapon, then doing a mission in which you're supposed to zipline off of a long rope.  Connor will use the dagger's blade instead of the tomahawk resulting in a visual hilarity glitch.
...these are the ones that I can think of, off the top of my head.
-Incorrect head on Connor (sometimes he won't have a hood or will have a mohawk before you have one on him).

How you never saw at least one of these is beyond me.
So, uh...are you friends with this guy or something?

So I beat this not long ago. And I have to say, aside from the 30FPS being slightly distracting, a few voice-over problems
(click to show/hide)
and a bit of rage at the end, this is EASILY the best Devil May Cry. No doubt.

^Not sarcasm

But I have no taste in games, so what do I know.

Your spoilers is....... inherent in the series, and I guess they didn't cast that part out of the remake! HAH!

A few questions, did you like 4 the best previously? How is the combat? Someone claimed it to be dumbed down to a present time 6 year old's standard of hard.

And what version did you play?

It's easier than the old ones sure, but hell it isn't 6yo difficult. I was kicked many ,many times sonce the very first stage (In personal DMC tradition).

Everything comes full circle

the thing about difficulty is that it's entirely subjective; what one person may find hard another person may find child's play. if you've had trouble playing through any of the previous DMC's then this game should be no different. Whoever said that the difficulty has been dumbed down to a 6y/o's expertise is just full of it, it's not easy by any means. However if you're well-versed in the gameplay of the series (and perhaps action games in general) then you won't have too much of a problem with DmC. I just beat it and am currently replaying on Dante Must Die mode.

How I rate the series thus far is like this (from best to worst):
DMC1(mainly cuz of the awesome final battle, still yet to be topped in the series imo)-DMC3-DmC-DMC4-DMC2

Just from watching here are some things I appreciate about this game:

-The linear levels. I loved beating shit up in DMC4 but I always, always get lost in the friggin' castle. Yes, I play nonlinear stuff like horror games all the time and probably have no excuse. But I'm fine with not getting lost sometimes, especially when I just want to get to the next wave of assholes.
-Move names showing up under the style meter is cool.
-I also enjoy the tips mid level about the different effects of attacks (like parrying projectiles with Prop Shredder). These would have been handy in other games because there's SO much you can do that you'd otherwise miss without reading an FAQ.
-I'm not crazy about collectibles counting towards a level's final score but at least they stay "collected" once you get them. Having to hunt down every red orb was a huge pain in the ass in other games. (DMC4 >:()
-Some of the music I'm not crazy about either but other tunes fit in very well with the style of music that's been used since DMC3.
-Though there is a bit of context-sensitive stuff, no QTEs in sight. JOY!!!
-Along those lines, no wall shimmying or super-slow platforming in that regard. Not that I play DMC for platforming anyway.
-All your weapons are available at once. (DMC4 did this too, but you had 3 at once where this game has 5.)

Yes, I beat all the other four. The combat is FANTASTIC. Aerial combat EXISTS in this game. It's great, and going back to DMC3 and 4, I just feel so limited. The game's not exactly as hard as the older games, but it's pretty decently difficult.

I was playing on PS3.

^This, pretty much. I hated constantly revisiting places in the other games, more specifically DMC3, with it's bland level design.

For some reason DMC3's backtracking never really confused me the way it did in DMC4. Probably because I've played it much, much more.

Ah, I meant, did you like DMC4? and how is it comparable to 4. Because I really liked 4. Mainly because Nero's weapon (probably).

My favourite parts of the Devil May Cry saga were the story of DMC III and the beauty of the levels of DMC 4.
I didn't like anything about DMC II.
From what I've seen on the web, it doesn't seem like the new DmC is something I'm going to like, but I'll say for sure when I play it.
Now I'm tired, eternally walking... forever dying, and never stopping. I feel in sorrow, all I see is white. I’m following a blind way beneath a sad sky.

DMC4's levels are definately a lot more gothic & serene, whereas DmC's levels are a lot more chaotic in nature with surreal stages (that's the nature of the game), and honestly I felt more fun to navigate through than DMC4. The most common thing people on the internet seem to hate about DmC is Dante's character. Otherwise the game is definately worthy of the DMC title as it's combat is definately up to par, the platforming segments are fun and the enemies constantly keep you on your toes. The dialogue is definately more "adult" than all the other games (personally I think it's better than the cheese-tastic dialogue of DMC1 & DMC2), and the scenario isn't anything groundbreaking but I believe this is a good start to a reboot of the series. Dante is an immature asshole, sure, but without spoiling anything this game can be considered as "DmC: Dante's Awakening," so I expect in DmC2 Dante's personality will be more "mature" since he goes through a character arc in this game (granted he'll still be a cocky SOB because that's just the way he is). This review pretty much sums up my thoughts on the game:

That was a good review. I lol'd pretty hard at the emo song sequence.

I just beat it.... and it's not bad.

There are a lot of faults that is a bit hard to not mark it down for but it's not bad.

Weapon swap is terrible imo, hold down a button for it is just a bad idea.
No lock on is really bad. Even more so with the annoying enemies in this game.
Because no lock on is available, moves are executed differently, and it's for the worst imo.
Dante's character is horrible.... though closer to the end he develops into a better character. But he's half emo, half I'm a cocky badass with no concern thing is just unbearable.
Virtually all the characters are just...... stupid.
The game forgoes any real sense of logic, or so it seemed to me. Not even video game logic made sense.
Devil Trigger is just retarded.

However the level design were pretty awesome though.

There are more gripes and possible gems though. But it's fun to play, and that's what really counts for me for a DMC.

The DLC 'Vergil's Downfall' is now available. The landscape in this surreal place is awesome. The cutscenes take a cue from LoS' DLC, if you remember what those were like. I'm halfway through it, and I'm assuming the finale will set the stage for DmC2. If you mildly enjoyed DmC then you should download it, it's only $8.99
