  Actually worth a play if you don't listen to the brainlet story and dialogue My recommendation? This is not Dante, but a Spanish soap opera version of himself named "El Donte"

  [h1][b]First of all, I want to warn all fans of the original [u]"Devil May Cry"[/u] franchise:[/b][/h1] This is not a [b][u]"Remaster"[/u],[/b] this is a complete [b][u]"Remake"[/u][/b] of the DMC franchise - [i]so, do not try to lower its rating only because it doesn't feel like any of the 4 previous games. It's a modern vision of the game and there's nothing from previous experience left except for some gameplay similarities, names and hostile NPCs similar looks.[/i] [b]"Devil May Cry"[/b] - This game is a new vision of the DMC franchise and it brings us a slightly different atmosphere compared with what we used to see in the old games. [b][u]As always[/u][/b] - of course all written down below based only on my honest opinion, and written only to help you to get a clue of in-game aspects, so you can understand what's inside the game at least partially, before you make a final decision to buy it or not. [h1][b][u]As usually, I'll start on a positive note and review some of the pros:[/u][/b][/h1] [list] [*] [b]Story[/b] - [i]It is a very soft and full of cliche storytelling, yet greatly integrated to in-game world, has some biblical and demonological references many believers and atheists would find enjoyable.[/i] [*] [b]Atmosphere[/b] - [i]Sometimes I do really think the devs are cruel drug addicts, because the amount of craziness placed on every frame in this game and these popular modern vulgar jokes completely fit his attitude. There's not much of a change in Dante's attitude, he's still a badass, cruel towards enemies, still a joker of the year(after Chuck Norris of course). Just he acts more like a bad American school boy from some typical movie about violent and dramatical teen's life[/i] [b][u](no offense American people, I didn't mean to be disrespectful towards you guys, I'm talking about actual movies your country produce and I hope it's understandable).[/u][/b] [*] [b]Music[/b] - [i]This is the best soundtrack I could ever hope to hear in slasher games with a crazy fast-paced fighting system, where everything is so intensive and completely fits the style of the game. Also, I love Noisia in general and I know they will never disappoint me with their EDM, atmospheric, deep or heavy bass music. Combichrist was barely known for me, but this game made me search for more of their music and I still enjoy some of their tracks after years.[/i] [*] [b]Gameplay[/b] - [i]Crazy, fast, enjoyable, easy to learn and perform long combos, one of the best Dualshock 3 integration in games in my humble opinion.[/i] [*] [b]Animation[/b] - [i]Everything looks so intensive and fast, hits look powerful, especially the heavy and charged ones. Face animation makes me smile and of course, enjoy it even more. Enemies sometimes move very funny and stupid what makes me laugh more, so I can't even consider it in cons.[/i] [*] [b]Optimisation[/b] - [i]No lags, no bugs, nor poor frame rate. Though I'm not surprised, because I've never seen a poor frame rate in any slasher game I've tried in my life, even in God of War series.[/i] [/list] [h1][b][u]Now for some cons that frustrated me quite much:[/u][/b][/h1] [list] [*] [b]Graphics[/b] - [i]Wasn't good even in 2013, most of its textures look terrible, and poor even compared to some AAA-class games of 2007-2008 like AC and SW:The Force Unleashed.[/i] [*] [b]Bosses[/b] - [i]Absolutely all of them(except for [b][u]Spoiler Alert![/u][/b] [spoiler]Virgil[/spoiler]) are so easy to defeat compared to common fights with the other hostile NPCs, it's really disappointing and doesn't even give enough challenge until you get to the highest difficulties, but even there all other NPCs are much harder to fight with compared to the bosses.[/i] [/list] [h1] [table] [tr] [th][b]Aspects:[/b][/th] [th][b]Score:[/b][/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]Atmosphere[/td] [td]10 - [b]Limbo sitcom.[/b][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Graphics[/td] [td]5.0 - [b]Seriously, it's the worst in this game so far.[/b][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Optimisation[/td] [td]10 - [b]30 fps is more than enough, no lag and bug issues, just perfect.[/b][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Sound[/td] [td]10 - [b]Depends on your music taste, but for me it's just what I like the most after Drum & Bass.[/b][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Animations[/td] [td]10 - [b]Fun, this is what you get staring at the screen, fits perfectly.[/b][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Artifical Int[/td] [td]8.0 - [b]Enemies aren't really smart, most of them can't reach you in the air.[/b][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Story[/td] [td]7.5 - [b]Pretty interesting and funny for both younglings and mature human species.[/b][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Gameplay[/td] [td]10 - [b]This is what hits the top, the most enjoyable aspect of the game along with music.[/b][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Replayability[/td] [td]9.0 - [b]After first 2 playhroughs I felt I need a break, just to finally eat something and then play again .[/b][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][b][u]Total[/u][/b][/td] [td][b]8.0[/b] - [b]Not perfect, but still a very good game that can be replayed many times throughout years.[/b][/td] [/tr] [/table] [/h1] [h1][b][u]Afterwords:[/u][/b][/h1] [i]- The game is highly recommended for people who love fast paced action and slasher games with a highly overdosed heavy soundtrack of Nu-Metal and EDM stages. - As for fans of the DMC franchise: Try to step away from all previous [b]Capcom[/b] and Japanese slashers, it's not the same if you expect that. It's still recognisable but can't be called the same, no, absolutely not. - I'd like to recommend all of you guys who enjoyed the game very much and wants some better challenge to try other difficulties after [b]Nephilim[/b]. For example [b]Son of Sparda[/b] becomes twice harder than [b]Nephilim,[/b] while [b]Nephilim[/b] is just a bit harder than [b]Devil Hunter[/b]. I never played on easiest difficulty called Human, so can't compare here - That's all.[/i]

  Note: I've mostly played on a friend's copy, so my Steam hours are quite little here. Scrolling through the Steam reviews, there are two things I've noticed. Nearly all newcomers to the Devil May Cry games think this is a good game. Nearly all Devil May Cry veterans ridicule, scorn and decry this game as an insult to the franchise. Personally, I've played through (all the difficulties of) DMC3, and one playthrough of DMC4 (fell short of expectations), both on the PC. DMC3's difficulty was fiendishly difficult and the combat intricate, DMC4's Nero was not really interesting to play as (though Dante was decent). Then I came to DmC. Threw myself into Nephilim (hard) difficulty at once, and could cope rather well (except with those Rages, argh). So, the veterans are right on one count, that the difficulty has been watered down significantly. (EDIT: I have played through all difficulties on my friend's copy, and Dante Must Die mode wasn't even as hard as Son of Sparda on DMC3.) But the gameplay itself is fun, mainly because of the PC-port controls which are pretty decent (as PC ports go). One gripe I have with DMC3/4 is that the PC controls are awkward and clunky as opposed to DmC's. Combos and such were far easier to pull off with DmC's controls, and combat felt smooth. Story-wise, I actually prefer DmC. Stow thy pitchforks and hear me out. In DMC3, you have a brash, young man who has an unexplained grudge with his twin brother, who raised a gigantic pillar/castle/machine down the street from his shop. Said gigantic pillar/castle/machine was to be used to open a portal to the Demon World, and Dante set off to meet and fight his brother following a rather violent invitation. Dante proceeds to slaughter his way past tons of demons, deals with a backstabbing secondary antagonist and clashes with his brother several times before culminating in a battle in the Demon World itself. He realizes that he actually does care somewhat about his brother. In DMC4, you have a brash young man who has an unexplained glowing demon-like arm, who arrives late to church, listens to music during a sermon and tries to leave the ceremony before a mysterious man appears and assassinates the head priest. Demons start popping up everywhere, and Nero begins his journey to track down the assassin, finding out that the church isn't as saintly as he thought, and eventually has his love interest kidnapped by the church. He then tries to save her, willing to kill all the demons and church members in his way. In DmC, you have a brash young man who doesn't give a used fig about anything other than himself. A girl shows up, warning him about demons who have found his tracks, and manages to defeat said demons with the help of the girl. He still doesn't trust her, but gives her the benefit of the doubt, following her to her headquarters where he meets her boss, who happens to be his twin brother. He slowly finds out things about his past by a visit to his old home, and helps his brother's terrorist organization bring down the demons who are behind humanity's unknowing enslavement. Along the way, he begins to care for both his brother and the girl who helped him, moreso than his brother realizes. After they successfully defeat the Demon King, they have differing opinions and go their separate ways. Plot-wise, DmC's is far more complex than DMC3/4. In 3, you have an enemy castle. Go in, kill everything, deal with a secondary antagonist who obviously was going to betray everyone, and fight the predictable final boss in the form of your twin brother. In 4, you have demons and a mysterious assassin, and you kill everything while hunting for the assassin. Then your girlfriend is kidnapped, and the people responsible for it are the ones who gave you your mission. Revenge, save your girlfriend, etc. etc. In DmC, there is actual character growth (only in Dante, admittedly [and to an extension, the girl]), where you have demons hunting you down, an actual backstory and a motivation to hunt down the demons themselves that goes beyond 'I have your girlfriend come and get her >:)' or sibling rivalry. Music-wise, I was initially apprehensive of the song choice. Dubstep/electronica is NOT my kind of thing. But as I played, I found that the pulse-pounding beats actually suited the combat very well, especially one boss fight in a strip club against a baby (no, really). Visually, I find the over-the-top displays of Limbo tearing into the real world really interesting, as how even the city itself swears at Dante alters to impede his progress. The enemies are quite varied too, with the grunt 'Stygians', the 'Knight'-class mooks, beautiful yet deceitful 'Witch' and brutish 'Tyrant', and cool, teleporting, dual-katana-wielding ninjas to name a few. You may disagree with me; feel free! This is merely my opinion, and if it does not sway yours, that's your call. As a conclusion/TL;DR, I would like to make one thing very clear. Though this is a Devil May Cry game, go into it as if you were going to play a completely different hack-and-slash game. An open mind works wonders. (This is the same for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, for veterans of Metal Gear)

  I agree with your game; capitalism is terrible. That's why I am asking to make the game free for everyone to play.

  If this game didn't hold the DMC name and was called literally anything else, even something as silly as "El Donte's Adventure In Limbo" it would have been a classic that is still talked about to this very day. The gameplay is just PERFECT. The music is awesome, with one of the best OSTs I have heard in a video game. Compared to hack and slash games that were released in 2013, like MGR: R this game is MILES better in terms of gameplay. (as much as I LOVE MGR) So, what went wrong? The game had no character, no confidence in itself, unlike MGR. The problem is, it tried to reboot DMC into a direction that fans of the series didn't like, so it was bound to fail. And the developers were frustrated with how the fans were getting mad about "small" changes such as Dante's new hair colour (which is understandable to be frustrated about, imagine working on a game for a long time only for it to be hated because of a hair colour change, a change that was forced by Capcom, but at the same time, the fans are also right since the white/silver hair is one of Dante's defining features that the reboot Dante feels like a different character, which he kind of is) that they tried to make fun of the older games in their presentations, interviews and in the game. This didn't help their game sell on release, obviously. The trailer also showed a completely different game, one with a much darker tone that looked very, very cool. Too bad they had to change it after the reveal due to fan reactions. This game had an unfortunate development. Capcom forced the devs to change everything about the game to distance themselves from the older games as possible, to give it a more "Western" feel. This was common at the time, as Capcom kept sourcing out games to be made by western devs, and wanted the games to feel "Western". This included changing Dante's design. The original concept. Capcom wanted the remake to be as different from the original DMC as possible, which hurt Ninja Theory and the game a lot. Then after the reveal trailer they had to change a lot of elements in the game due to the massive backlash that they got from the fans. One has to wander, what was their original vision like if Capcom didn't force changes? Or even how the game would have turned out if they stuck to what was shown in the ad? Is the gameplay is better than DMC 3/4/5? No. Is is better than every other hack and slash game in terms of gameplay? To me? Absolutely. Every game I have ever played were you control a third person character and had combat in it paled in comparison to DmC in terms of gameplay. (Besides the mentioned games.) Oh well. At least Itsuno loved it, and wanted a sequel to be made for DmC. And DmC has also inspired a lot of things in DMC V. ( Refer to my DMC V review for more info on that ) TL;DR get this game, forget that it has the DMC name, and you'll love it.

  They never updated this version with manual lock on or additional difficulties. Buy the xbone and ps4 version for the definitive experience EDIT: i bought this because i did not think the features from the console version were exclusive and now neither steam or capcom want to give me a refund. There should really be a disclaimer on the store page about how this version was never updated.

  it's not that bad, but the problem is we're missing the updated version.
