MCV ran a piece saying that the reason sales are so far below expectations is solely because of hardcore DMC fans. After everyone spent two years saying they were the vocal minority and therefore unimportant in the grand scheme of things. But now that the game has had 40% slashed off its shipment forecast, suddenly it's the fault of the DMC faithful.

Most of the feedback on this game seems to be pretty positive. Like surprisingly so. I may have to pick it up just to see how it is. Having no attachments to the old Devil May Cry, I think this actually looks like a pretty decent game. Then again, being a good game has never guaranteed good sales.
Just a few hours ago i finished the game in DMD mode and i am really really disappointed.
I was not some huge combo master in previous DMC games but its safe to say that i am fairly skilled and that i really loved the series and dedicated quite a few hours trying to master cool moves.
I played DmC with the intention of ignoring the dialogues and story since i knew that it was pretty bad. I decided to focus on the gameplay aspect and just have fun.
I wont be going into too much detail on how the gameplay disappointed me exactly, ill just say that there is just not enough depth in the combat,there is nothing to master and there is no fun to be had after a short while since even in DMD mode you need a surprisingly low amount of skill to beat it with SSS in most missions. The AI starts out as stupid in human mode and then proceeds to be stupid for the rest of the difficulties.
If it had a different name i would rate it a 6.5/10 its an above average game with great art direction and lots of faults that could easily be corrected in a potential sequel.
But since it carries the Devil May Cry legacy and should be judged as a DMC game, then...what can i say... FUCK YOU.
