Im all for games getting good reviews but only when the game deserves it.

Considering all the high scores and praises DmC is getting, it's pretty evident if not bloody obvious that these reviews aren't completely honest, if they were then their would be some criticisms being made about the game at the very least.

i'm still not buying even with the good reviews. not listening to the fan's concerns or opinions is a bad move on their part.

"ya bitching and moaning ain't gonna change the fact that this dmc is here to stay."

80k~ preorder numbers for 360 and PS3 suggests (that is if you trust the VGChartz) that it's not here to stay. It won't sell more than 1 million copies that's for sure. Also Guardian never was a trustworthy site. Far, far from it. So you can just drop the "another trustworthy site gave it a good score" act. And it being a UK based newspaper doesn't help either since NT is a UK based studio and most of the early reviews were from UK based media outlets...

It's even more scary that at this rate, it'll succeed past the scores given to DMC3 SE, doesn't that translate to that DmC Devil May Cry is the superior game?

Because even though the game carries the name Devil May Cry and is always compared to the preview installments, it is being reviewed as a stand-alone action-adventure game. If you look at it from that perspective, then DmC is a good game. It is well paced, despite the bad story, and in terms of combat it's possibly the best action adventure game to come out since Darksiders 2 in August last year.

On the other hand, I cannot help feel that it's also unfair to give it a free pass for some things. Why did the press spend so much time comparing it to past iterations and trying to convince us and defend it that it's better than all previous DMC games, but then give it a pass for a mediocre story with a bad ending, which many of us were led to believe it would be much better because Ninja Theory supposedly equal great story. Lack of epic Dante vs. Nelo Angelo/Vergil moments and disappointing boss fights. Linear game. No Bloody Palace included as of yet, which at this point there should be no excuse for the game not including it at launch. And the combat, which funny enough is possibly the strongest point of this game, while certainly not bad by any means, falls below DMC3 and 4. The soft lock-on also becomes a problem at times with large groups of enemies.

But the game is overall good. Definitely worth the money. It really comes down to where you stand with this game as a fan of the action adventure series and/or a DMC fan.

People already know you dont want to like the game in anyway EVEN WITHOUTH PLAYING IT so just dont post on the DMC reviews.You and a bunch of whinnys are disgusting.

You sound like you’re just a ton of fun to be around.

One of the best, stylish, and fun action slasher on the system. You definitely should get to it, as soon as you can.

The DMC5 team went on to make Dragons Dogma 2, the DMC director (3,4,5) left capcom to make an action game at another studio and the rumor is that a DMC remake is next...so i wouldn't hold my breath on DMC6.
