[sp]It really doesn't look difficult either, more like a 'dramatic final fight' than an actual endboss. Although the final part of the fight, he regenerates his health if you don't go Devil Trigger on him by killing the clones for power.[/sp]

Ah ok, also [sp]the vergil bit was the one i found really boring because when you win and kat says to not kill him, vergil just goes away. theres no satisfaction in that ending, no reward for playing, anyone could of written that ending. which is why i found it boring[/sp]
I though ninja theory was known for their "good" writing.
Ninja Theory is so fucking pretentious holy shit.

"...an opportunity to elevate the games experience into one that can rival film and literature...."
MY ASS
Their best game so far is Enslaved and that game did not really do well because it was marketed like shit and the fact it's their best title is not saying much, considering their list of games consist in Metroid "THE BABY" other M, Heavenly Sword (aka the most fucking boring game ever that everyone forgot just like most PS3 launch titles), Enslaved (which has really fucking sloppy fighting but at least the visuals are good) and now Devil FUCK YOU may cry

Only because they get other people to do it for them. Heavenly Sword had to be rewritten from the ground up by Rhianna Pratchett; Alex Garland had this to say about Enslaved, which he was brought in to help write:
[quote]We got to a section where Monkey was walking down a walkway, and he sees an escaping slave trying to pull himself up to the walkway. And instead of helping the guy up, Monkey kicked him in the face and sent him to his death. They thought that projected the idea that Monkey was a badass. Whereas, to me, it projected the idea that Monkey was a bit of a cunt."[/quote]
This is actually Ninja Theory's first in-house writing job.

That's Ninja Team, buddy. Aka, the guys who do Dead or Alive / Ninja Gaiden. And they were quick to say they only did the gameplay; Sakamoto from Nintendo did the story and other stuff.

Meh. I'm buying the game for the hack 'n' slash Devil May Cry.
I'll just ignore the terrible dialogue and writing and focus on chaining together some sick combos. The fighting [I]is[/I] pretty satisfying.

I hope you hated the style system of the older DMC games, and I REALLY hope you liked Heavenly Sword, because that's what this game feels more like.
Frankly I think the game looks awesome so far, and I'd definitely pre-order if my backlog of games wasn't already a few pages long.
Reviews are good so far, too, though doubtless naysayers will chalk that up to Capcom paying them off or something.
Hey, this got 5 stars on Giantbomb.

'Or something' is right. Publishers don't bribe reviewers to give high scores, they withhold information, screenshots/videos and review code if a publication doesn't agree early on to consistently positive coverage and high scores.
That publication then has to get their content second hand, when interest has cooled. Very few sites and magazines can afford to fall behind like that and lose readers and revenue to the competition, not with the first big retail release of 2013.
Publishers being in a situation where they had to pay off publications with 'bad' coverage (i.e. anything with criticism in it) would actually be a step up from the shape of the industry right now.
[QUOTE=Jackald;39211804]It's just frustrating to see the game basically be worse than its predecessors in every single category, especially in a series that you really like, especially when the lead director on it is pretentious enough to call it "Shakespearian"[/QUOTE]
To be fair, Shakespeare was considered vulgar. Remember in Romeo and Juliet where the two servants started fighting? Before the fight, one of servants bit his thumb at the opposing faction. "Biting your thumb was on par with the middle finger gesture. Not to mention that it contained cheating and suicide in it, I bet that the Christians didn't like it.

Shakespeare was sophisticated and genius in its own way. It's vulgarity meant something. DmC? It's vulgar to be vulgar.

yes, one day years from now
the highest of thespians will perform the highest of performance art: Tameem Antoinades' Devil May Cry.
With such riveting scenes such as
[I]"Fuck you!"
"Fuck you!"[/I]
or deep, philosophical moments that are well built up to
like [sp]Vorgol giving Mundus' demonlady the Buckley treatment with a scoped rifle[/sp]

Recently capcom has been a bunch of dipshits so I would not expect the series to go anywhere good after that. People asked for megaman, they completely drowned the series and it was never heard from again. People asked for a scarier resident evil game, they came up with RE6. People are now asking for a DMC that comes back to what the series was doing good, you bet your ass you're going to see a DmC2 at some point.

Everyone has their different interests and opinions. If I was a game journalist and I had the opportunity to put K&L2 as my 2010 game of the year, I would have. (Loved almost everything about it... yeah, weird.) Even though I've never beaten a mass effect game in my life, I still respect his opinion. From a non fan perspective, I've never really heard anything wrong about Me3 besides its ending... which sucked, but it was completely overblown over everything else in the game. Far Cry 3 had a shitty ending (Yeah, opinions lol) but that didn't ruin the game for everyone else for some reason.
Now, I haven't played DmC myself... but why shouldn't I keep an open mind to try out things? Even if this game got 1 star in his review, no way in hell that's going to stop me from playing it. Also, It's just really silly to see a lot of people get pissed off over a review of a game they haven't even played yet. It's quite childish, to say the least.
You can tell a game has a bad story without playing the game if you watch the cut-scenes.

I've watched a few cut scenes... which I'll admit, made me laugh. I enjoy them because of their simplicity. It's the same kind of pleasure I get out of watching a die hard movie. Just silly action moments with swearing and rudeness. Random cheap shot jokes that get you to laugh while crazy stuff happens. But really, this still pertains to the different interests topic.
Anywho, I'm not saying you guys should like IT RIGHT NOW AND ENJOY IT STOP BEING A HATER!...
I'm just saying, keep an open mind.More then likely, there is a game out there you would have loved, but everyone hated. (I think we all have one of those hidden hated gems) Hell, I would have missed out the hundreds of hours of fun and awesome people I met through Kane and Lynch 1/2 if I didn't try it for myself.

Die Hard's dialogue was witty and didn't come from an adolescent emo with a two word vocabulary.
See "Nine million terrorists in the world and I gotta kill one with feet smaller than my sister." or "Ooooh, I'm very sorry Hans. I didn't get that message. Maybe you should've put it on the bulletin board. I figured since I've waxed Tony and Marco and his friend here, I figured you and Karl and Franco might be a little lonely, so I wanted to give you a call." (This line sounds like something Old Dante might say)
vs.
*middle finger* "FUCK YOU!"
This turd and Die Hard are worlds apart man.

Most definitely, nothing beats Die Hard in my book. It's one of my favorite movie series. Although, I still do get that same feel from this game's humor. While it does have its silly moments like the famous fuck you part, I still enjoyed a few other moments which I thought were pretty clever. Like the moment where the white hair randomly fly's onto his head, (Cue thread title) I got a kick out of it. It has its bads and its goods.
Tried the demo just now.
Didn't like it. Too radically different, gameplay wise.
