That they completely downgraded the whole thing from the previous DMC games. Style swapping with Dante's gunslinger, swordmaster, trickster, royal guard? Gone. Manually locking-on to enemies of your choice? Pfffft gone. A stable 60 fps? Gone. The fun combat system has been dumbed down to the point where it doesnt feel special and fun, it feels boring and generic.
The boss battles are pretty boring too. Its now the generic "HURDURR IMA GONNA ATTACK FIRST, I MISSED YOU SAY? OK TAKE A FREE SHOT AT MY BLATANTLY OBVIOUS WEAK SPOT. MY TURN NOW DERP"
But in the older DMC games, the boss battles i actually looked forward to. Their weak spots werent blatantly obvious (with the exception of DMC1 Nightmare, but that thing is also a rapetrain if you arent careful) and the battles arent the linear "dodge then attack" battles.
Music in the new DMC is very shitt-WUBWUBWUBWUBWUBWUB. The graphics are quite overrated, along with the lighting on some levels being awful and it kinda burns my eyes. Donte is a cuntmuffin and so is Vorgel. White hair or not these guys are fucking numbskulls, we lost good characters for these douchebags?
the glitches are downright unacceptable for a game that has been in development for THREE YEARS. Yes every game has it bugs, but when it is to the point where I get bad memories of Sonic 06 and PS3 skyrim, you have a problem. SPECIAL SHOUTOUTS to the succubus boss battle freezing randomly whenever its health reaches 0 FORCING ME TO RESTART THE BORING BATTLE ALL OVER AGAIN.
And don't. Even. Get. Me. Started. With.... THE ATROCITY THAT IS VERGIL'S DOWNFALL, WE WAITED AFTER 3 DELAYS FOR THIS LINEAR BULLSHIT?!. ALSO LOVE THE BLATANT BLEACH RIPOFF AT THE END OF THIS DLC.
There are ONLY 3 positive things i can say about DmC. 1. A combo training mode addition, CAPCOM Y U NO ADD THIS TO DMC HD COLLECTION. It would make testing combos in DMC3 so much easier and possibly plan out awesome combo videos.
2. The transforming terrain is pretty cool sometimes. 3. When you are choosing new abilities to upgrade Donte, you have the option of testing out the new ability before spending your hard earned red orbs on it. If capcom were to go and return to the old series and go back to improving on what they knew with these 3 features, I WOULD BE HAPPY
That is of course if they CAN get the old developers back, which sadly wont happen because they are nothing but a bunch of idiots that are complete assholes to all of their developers. Hell they lost KEJI INAFUNE, the mastermind behind freaking MegaMan because of their idiocy!
