Devil May Cry is the best way to start off 2013. Anyone who disagrees hasn't played it.

The demo was better than expected

The actual game is astonishing. Every aspect is of triple A quality.

Oh and... Vergil.

Really now? DMC4 was good and this one looks good too. I plan on getting Rising next month for my action game fill, though.

Out of the five DMC games, 4 is by far the worst one. This one is up there around 1 and 3.

So yeah, if you liked 4, you're going to thoroughly enjoy this one.

You really didn't like 4? I thought it was good. Nero was a pretty cool character imo. Except for when he said Kyrie. 3 was fun too but I never finished it. Want to play 1 though. It should be on PSN as a PS2 classic.

The DmC collection is dirt cheap at GameStop. Only around $25. But yeah, 4 wasn't as good as the original trilogy. Choosing Nero over Dante was a terrible choice and in its entirety, felt like a barebones sequel to 2.

Got mine a little over a year ago and haven't looked back. I love it.

I really should have gotten into DMC when I had the chance. The demo was fun. Might grab it when it goes cheap.

Rent it or borrow from a friend. Seriously, I dislike 95% of the hack 'n slash genre, but DmC is beyond awesome. It's better than the majority of the crap to come out 2011 and 2012 and it's already a great sign for the rest of 2013.

Just for you.

I actually thought DMC4 was up there with DMC3. Not as good, but damn close. For every step back, it also took a step forward. I actually think DMC1 is the worst in the series, though. It's incredibly unrefined. The DmC reboot is at least better than that, if not better than DMC2 in my eyes as well (which I actually really enjoyed, but then again, I played it after DMC1, which I did not enjoy). I've only played the demo of course, but it already has some obvious problems - platforming is the worst I've seen in the series, it's too easy (all of my deaths were due to the platforming...and I played it on hard), the combat feels more akin to a really refined, faster-paced version of Heavenly Sword, and the voice acting flat out sucked. Not cheezy, just sucked. Still, it's the very best I could hope for out of an unrelated party like Ninja Theory, and I'm hoping the rest of the game will continue to exceed my expectations when I finally get a chance to pick it up. Maybe that'll be what I use my Target Gift cards on?

So I completed DmC with a friend tonight and, uh, yeah. It was amazing. Every level was appropriate in every feasible way. Not too long, very enjoyable, cleverly hidden secrets, fun platforming and enjoyable waves of enemies to practice hundreds of sick combos on.

The bosses weren't half bad either. And let's just say the final boss was, in one word, amazing. Truly amazing.

The combo lists, upgrades, new moves and cool weapons made the game's gameplay very, very enjoyable. Unlike most hack 'n slash games, DmC's gameplay flowed fluently and was addictive simultaneously. The graphics were top notch, too. Very little pop in, character models looked great and the environments in their entirety were fantastic!

The humor was lol funny as Dante is a humorous and likeable guy! The music was probably my only gripe, though. Most of the songs were good but I had to cover my ears during some.

I say let Ninja Theory make Devil May Cry from now on. Capcom has hit pure gold with this developer and they know exactly what they're doing. Two weeks into the year and I'm already enjoying this year more than the last two. Bring on the rest of 2013!

Does the platforming get better after the first mission? Again, I can't stress enough how frustrated I was with the platforming in the demo mission. That angel glide especially drove me bonkers. And then that church section...ugh....

I still need to play the demo of DmC first. But even if the demo blows me away or impresses me, I'll probably wait to buy it until the price lowers. That, and I feel like I should at least buy and play the other Devil May Cry games first. The HD Collection is probably where I'll start out with, and then I would need to buy and play Devil May Cry 4.

I guess this would be the perfect year to give the series a shot.

...it's a reboot, though. Not DmC5, DmC1.1 - a completely unrelated game.

And I know that. But it would be a much better value to buy the HD Collection which contains three games for a much cheaper price than to pay $60 for one game. By the time I get through playing all of the other DMC games, I can buy the reboot at a much cheaper price. In other words, I can eat my ice cream after I finished devouring my cake.

Ninja Theory is easy the most underrated game dev out there.

They make brilliant games that sell crappily, and 'hardcore' gamers seem to hate that they're the one developer in the west that really tries to be different.

Considering Devil May Cry is a huge franchise in the west, and this game is miles better than 4, I'm assuming it's going to sell very well.

It's something that you need to practice at in order to breeze through it. The game teaches you as you progress, so by the time you're at a really "difficult" platform section, you'll be prepared.

I haven't played the demo, so I have no idea which level it was. All I know is that, if the platforming is going to ruin in for you, rent it or borrow it. No need to waste $60.

Just for you.
