Devil May Cry bores me...

[Proton]

i've been bored so I've been playing it with a friend and oh boy
post-purchase rationalization

I feel sort of disappointed more so because capcom has always been a herald and forefather of beat em ups and hack n slashes, you know?
they've been doing them since the beginning and after not liking asura's wrath and then watching other companies like platinum or rocksteady walking in and just dominating over them sort of hurts to see

but uh,
I still don't take old dmc into light since I didn't play enough of it to have a more personal relationship,

but

Spoiler

any game that takes giving an abortion with a gun only to brag about the killing of the unborn child or brass colloquial buzzwords like "shitting hell" and the use of fuck as an actual sentence for no reason while still claiming the way you wrote your game deserves to be rivaling literature and film is really dumb and makes you look like someone sitting in starbucks with a typewriter

dmc dmc story and writing rival 50 shades of grey

luckily for everyone, it's a video game and gameplay is more important, especially in a beat em up/hack n slash

it's just,
again,
this game doesn't deliver anything for the genre that's innovative
nor fresh, nor exciting

the platforming is also so out of place and distracting that it just shouldn't be in there


I dunno, but this game does not deserve anything above a 6
and yes, go ahead and like it, but you're out of your mind if you think this is as good of a game as reviewers say it is

luckily though, should you enjoy the action this game has to offer, you can treat yourself to the bloody palace mode which should hopefully be a challenge to you
