DmC: Devil May Cry

Well I'm a DMC vet, and ill say that I prefer new Dante. He's at least not saying things that make me facepalm my face till its numb. Dante was different in like every DMC. He was either too lame or too cheesy (or too serious for dmc2). People are just so attached to this fictional one dimensional character. I personally say "WHO CARES" I don't love the old Dante, it's a fictional non-existing character, why should I care what Capcom does with him?

Then don't care? Sorry bud, but the mass of fans didn't ask you "Will you care about this change with us"?

Most fans feel that they destroyed a legends when it wasn't needed. And liking Donte over Dante makes me worry about the new generation of kids.

Basically, what it tells me is this
*Donte*
Bad Attitude
Massive swearing
Do what I want, because I can, and if you don't like it, stop me
Drug looking appeal

wins over

*Dante*
Human attitude
Sarcastic
Never swears past "Hell"
As the power to stop Demons, and never forces that on people
Very clean looking, with body that fits the job of what he can do

I don't have any reason to justify my personal dislike of a character to anybody else.

Then don't post. I can't stand Donte, but I'm more then willing to give a reason as to WHY I don't like him.

Just saying "He's a Tool" and leaving it at that leaves room for people to berate you. If you if go into depth as to what he does, why he does it, how he looks, why he looks that way, etc, and touch every aspect possible, it gets people to go "Hmm. Let me rethink my opinion, and I'll come back to you with something more then "Your an idiot.".

TC, I'm asking you.

What did you think of the removal of manual lock-on? Like it? Hate it? Used it much before in the older games?

I hated it at first. I was constantly trying to do launchers using the old scheme. Its going to take a lot of time to get used to. So are the modifiers that switch the weapons. So is the new dodge mechanic.

What i do think that this game addressed very well. The ability for dante to seamlessly attack multiple enemies with no interruption. I always felt that it was an inherent problem in the other games. I would lock on, kill one, move on. The new mechanics lend themselves very well to creating some glorious looking battles, and Dante can easily and fluidly dispatch enemies based on efficiency now. I think thats going to open up so many more variables, now add on the weapon modifiers, add on the ricochet gun shot (which you can charge during a combo), add on the push or pull grapplers. I think this is going to be, by far, the deepest combat system seen to date. NT is taking some risks with the control scheme, it will need to be mastered for sure, but it is also necessary to provide those kinds of options.

Keep in mind that my personal reason for playing the game is to not waste a single movement, to make the battles cinematic, to make the combos so diverse, to fight flawlessly. Can't wait.
