DmC: Devil May Cry has been hailed by critics (including Just Push Start) due to its action-packed gameplay. Fans of the original Devil May Cry games still think otherwise.
When Ninja Theory took over development duties from Capcom, fans immediately hated the game thanks to Dante’s new “emo” look. Many fans logged onto Metacritic to express their hate towards the new game.
Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of DmC: Devil May Cry have an average critic rating of 86. As for fan user ratings, the Xbox 360 version has a rating of only 3.0 while the PS3 version is at a dismal 2.8 currently…
Most of the criticism aside from the look of Dante is that the gameplay has changed too. They feel the gameplay has become too easy and that the level design is linear.
If you’ve played the game before, what do you think of it?

I played some of it at a buddys before work and definitely plan on getting it Friday. I checked it metacritic and laughed knowing that these fan boys are hating on a game they most likely haven’t played. i’m a huge fan of the original series especially part 3. loved the young Dante in 3 but I actually think I may like this new Dante more. from what I played so far in the amusement park very much reminded me of 3’s gameplay which could be why i’m feeling this reboot.
I wish people would spend less time BITCHING about games, and more time PLAYING games. Having been playing video games for 25+ years now, i’ve grown to absolutely hate and despise today’s gamers. And it’s reasons like that, that are why.
Having put a solid 8+ hours into this game already. It’s probably one of the better experiences i’ve had with the franchise (sadly, nothing will ever top 3). Having loved the series since the original, it’s nice to see a change. The best part is, Ninja Theory could have went and COMPLETELY tweaked the entire series, leaving no remnants behind. Instead they gave us a finely crafted ‘version’ of what they feel the series is about. It’s also great to see a focus on the actual characters themselves, and having them feel more ‘natural’ in the universe. One thing i’ve always loved about Ninja Theory, is that they keep their casts small in games they create, so they can craft a much more believable personality to them.
I have yet to find a single complaint with the game yet. I’m actually starting to say, that i might actually like NEW Dante, more than the old one.
It disgusts me that site after site i go to, are just filled with people bitching about the game (usually in the comments section OF someone elses review). And all their ‘opinions’ comes from ‘watching the trailers’ and ‘playing the demo’. It’s rare to find someone who’s actually PLAYED the game, bitch about it. The best part was, most of these ‘opinions’ came from before the game was even released. Meaning they were either playing a pirated copy (which could branch me off into a whole other topic of how having access to every game at your disposal, it’s rare to give ANY title proper play time), or they somehow found a shop which sold the game early.
Sorry for going into such a huge rant here. I’m just disgusted at the sheer hate that this game has been receiving from the public.
I agree, this game is fun and is an awesome direction, I too am likeing this Dante more over the old, been with DMC since the beggining and I hope to see a DmC Devil May Cry 2.
@Advent That introduces Lucia and does a gigantic better job than 2 ever did.
