The X Button - Bullet Witch

As someone who's played every DMC and enjoyed the hell out of all the ones that don't havea 2 in the title, I have no idea what in God's name you're talking about. Bike sequence? "What it initially promised"? So if there's something in the previews that (apparently) doesn't make it into the final game, that automatically makes the finished product bad?

Wait, do people really hate FFXII? The plot may have been a complete ripoff of Star Wars, but I thought it had the best gameplay and character advancement of the series. Not to mention that its graphics really pushed the limits of the PS2 (and still look pretty good today).

To say DMC4 takes itself too seriously is to completely ignore everything after the halfway mark. Nero takes himself seriously, but He's only got half of the story. The other half has scenes like this. As for adding on to the canon...I'm sorry, I thought we were talking about action games. Silly action games, to boot. Who cares about the grand mythos of demons and Mundus blah blah blah? We're there to cut bad guys in half. Gameplay-wise, it played smoothly and basically everything about Nero was a new addition to the series' combat mechanics.

I'm not trying to force you to like the game, but it sold two million copies and Metacritic ranks it a whole two points below your beloved, game-of-the-future Bayonetta, so let's stop pretending it somehow tanked in the marketplace.

I'm really curious about that game 'Glory of Heracles'. It's old school game revived, but I'm wondering if it's worth picking up.

As to the possibility of another chapter to the 'FFXII' game that's an interesting analogy. The designs are really nice. I still have yet to play that game.

Edit: Also, hopeful? When did I say there's a DMC5 on the horizon? It's been two years and there's nothing from Capcom on the subject, which given the times between the earlier games (Two years, two years, three years) doesn't exactly say "SEQUEL" in neon lights. I'm just saying your criticism of DMC4 goes against things like evidence and logic.

Indeed. I too share your knee jerk hatred for games I've yet to play.

Yes because you know, I HAVE to play a game in order to have a right to judge it, right?

Uh, wasn't FFX also almost completely linear? It's been years since I last played it, but I don't remember there being such a big reaction to that.

*British glove slap* DMC5 isn't gonna happen. It's damn fair to say that they've killed off the series something good with the latest installment, and the anime didn't exactly do anything to help.
