This things?
And who knows, most people can't get that idea out of their head for the life of them.
90% of the complaining is still that it looks different, sounds different and NINJA THEORY bla bla bla.
Only a few of these, and others anywhere else, actually try and break the game down and those people do it alright.
And in the end, and again just from the demo, this game is currently NOT BAD from the pure mechanic perspective.
When you compare something to it's predecessors, it's because you're comparing things out in games from the same genre and game mechanics that are similar, not because it is "Devil May Cry". So it should still be from a mechanic perspective.
