Poll: What happens to DmC/DMC next?

[The White Hunter]

I'm from the UK myself and I swear damn daily so i'm not offended or bothered by swearing but the sheer amount of it in DmC was slightly... Bemusing. It does make some parts funnier and/or more impactful and I DO see what the Succubus fight is meant to represent but who on the writing team wrote so much swearing into the story inherantly? It just sticks out to me. Then again you don't see much of it in games these days so DmC stands out more.

I do like that mop on his head though.

"Not in a million years"

BURN!!!!

I don't even think DmC *needs* a sequel exactly. It sets up for one slightly with Vergil and it probably WILL get one if there are enough sales but I would be fine if they went back to DMC5 or even dropping DMC as a franchise. The latter will never happen though.

Also the debate over Vergil's hat continues. Is it the stupidest thing ever or an amazing choice of character creation?

There is a lot of it and I'm not quite sure why the writers put it there, but it fits in well enough and comes across fairly natural for the most part. I think it stands out because it's rare for games that aren't fps games to have that much swearing, and in those it's usually "OH SHIT" "OH FUCK" and the ilk, except Bulletstorm, which is very inventive with it indeed.

The mop scene had me in stitches it was utter genius.

A sequel isn't an absolute necessity but I think it'll sell well enough to get one, and it's not closed to one like BioShock, but it's fairly self-contained and there aren't any major questions left unanswered. So while one isn't necessary I doubt it would be shoehorned on.

My stance on Virgils hat is a controversial one. I think he should have a hat. But I think the Fedora is shit. He needs a bowler hat.

Edit: I'm from the northwest UK, so I swear like a sailor.

As someone who tremendously enjoyed the reboot, I say they should stick with it. The ending was a deliberate sequel hook, so they might as well roll with it, provided the game coughs up decent returns.

Also, I voted 'Yes' in repsonse to the principle. If you're gonna reboot something, for fuck's sake have the balls to keep the old version dead and buried. A few years back I got kicked in the guts the same way when the Prince of Persia reboot (which I liked to no end) was just quietly dropped in favour of milking the Sands of Time cow some more.

Well I found the reboot to be the best DMC game so far. Shoot me now. The level design wasn't fucktarded like DMC4's random backtracking and DMC3's 24/7 Gothic Castle with endless key puzzles.

The awesome relationship between Dante and Vergil is the huge saving grace for that entire game for me to be honest. It 100% makes the game good on its own. I just loved Vergil as a character to be honest.

"Foolishness, Dante. Foolishness."

I wouldn't mind either DMC5 or DmC2 really. Probably would prefer DmC2 and there will be one if the sales are high enough so hopefully that happens. Maybe. I think DmC ended well enough for it to not need a sequel so randomly pulling a Bioshock 2 for the sake for profits would be annoying.

The reboot levels are mostly linear (good thing, key puzzles suck) with interesting environments, FUN platforming (non sloppy platforming in MY Devil May Cry?!) and the combat system is beaten only by Bayonetta in terms of fun.

Oh and it had the best overall narrative and character development out of all the DMCs. I was actually thinking that all the haterz might be on to something when the very first mission was Dontay being an absolute bellend for the entire mission and following cutscenes. Christ.

Lol jk he gets considerably better after mission 2 and only gets more likable. Though that scene with the mop on his head will have made some people go pure Rage Mode i'm sure, probably hurled a 360 out the window in some cases. I lol'd

I hear what people are saying about why it didn't need to be a Devil May Cry game but i'm not one to question why a game this awesome exists and it would be hard to sell a new hack and slash IP when people would say "why not a DMC5 if you're making a hack and slash?"

I will say I have no idea why there's so much swearing. It is a bit odd to say the least. I get what they were going for with the Succubus boss fight in particular but the execution could have been better. I can draw the line at, and I quote:

"Fuck you"

"Fuck you!"

"FUCK YOU!"

Not sure if it was funny or slightly tragic or both. I enjoyed the bit with the egg timer before that though.

Oh and the Dante/Vergil fight at the end? Fucking brilliant.

You speak so much truth the character interactions in this game made it great. Kat's getting a bad reputation for being a boring character but I thought her interactions and character development with Dante was great. Vergil is hit or miss he's either being awesome or a bad guy but I liked how they set up his story in relation to the ending and I'm really looking forward to his DLC to see how he plays. (I wouldn't quote your whole comment but I'm not sure how to edit it without screwing up the quote )

I thought kat was a reasonable female role. But I can't shake the feeling that she was less sexualized in early previews. In fact I remember an article in which the one of the devs mentioned that he had nothing against "big tittied women" but thought it was ridiculous the "fan service" was getting. Honestly, I agree with that sentiment. I think the most developed dmc female character was Lady in dmc3. She was a badass, that needed absolutely no protecting or looking after.
