Re: Devil May Cry (Vergil returns in DMC4SE, oh and DmC DE)
A lot of it is that people had a huge stigma from the original announcement, where Dante looks like a meth addict who has a Steve Blum-ish voice. It was pretty bad. The more trailers came out that improved upon things it felt, the more people would criticize the living shit out of it. It was basically destined to get panned from the very start because it was a pretty heavy alternate take on the DMC universe.
The dialogue can be really terribly shitty, but past that, I think it's not a bad game. It's definitely not a great DMC game, but overall it's still rather enjoyable. If you enjoy it, enjoy it. Most discussions about DmC you'll find around the internet are toxic.
So I really diddly with DMC. Story isn't half bad and the gameplay is pretty stellar. Is the hate for it just from people who loved the older games and didn't want change, or is it truly that bad compared to the other games? Cause I've a friend who swears it's the second best of the series (behind 3 or 4, can't remember which).
