Ninja Theory is very happy with the "genuine reviews" the game has been getting

You can literally do that demon dodge Dahbomb showed, then just spam the guns for the next 5 or so minutes, farming SSS rank points
Oh wow. Just mashing the same combo in the air over and over again and SSSENSATIONAL!
And the style meter... never seems to go down? :/

F scores with the feel of an 'A'?
Why do you think it's a joke? That's 100% how the style system and demon dodge operate.
I didn't even link to a video that shows that you don't need to variate your moves after you get that initial SSS because the style meter never drops letter grades. You are not punished for repeating moves which is 100% contradictory to everything that is written in that interview.
The only thing they are right about in that interview is that it is much easier to look like a pro in DmC than in previous games.
Oh and...
wait Bloody Palace is out?
haha what a clusterfuck this thing is

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Itsuno, what are you saying. You dont need to go this fucking far for these clowns. God, this is tragic.

it's ok the game is gonna sell 5 million
Only way to bring it down is to get hit.
There is no Bloody Palace on the retail disc. Game has been sort of leaked, we were discussing it in the review thread. There is no sign of BP anywhere, it could potentially be DLC though. No mention of it in the guide or achievements in there.

Isn't this factually incorrect? Wasn't DMC4 the highest seller in the series, or at least the highest seller since the original?
Yes. DMC4 brought it in more newcomers for the franchise.

Did they ship too much or did no one just want the game after the bad word of mouth?
Didnt they ship a lot of Dragons Dogma? I remember them expecting it to be a big multimillion seller and saying it was their most expensive title yet.

Yeaah, no.
Ugh. What's the point of having a style meter then?
Oh right, MAGIC OF PRO GAMING
I was willing to give the game a second chance and had a media blackout for quite a long time but the recent footage isn't inspiring any confidence.
Don't mind Itsuno. The guy has been saying some real stupid shit lately to prop up this reboot.

I have no idea what Capcom is filling its water coolers with these days, but it appears to be straight up brain-poison. Yeah, DMC4 sold the most. Which makes it somehow an abject failure that needed rebooting at the house of quality that is NinjaTheory and in UE3.

I had faith in this game. It's all gone now.
The odd part about the tweet is that just as it went up, the Italian 7.5 review was removed. The translations are still up in the review thread but the review isn't.
I don't want to call shenanigans just yet because it could just be an internet vs magazine review type embargo thing but something fishy is happening right there.
Also just to detract from the interview a bit, the game play/combat is pretty good in the game and has some nice nuances to it. It's not DMC standard but it's better than your average action game and fans of the genre should at least try the demo. It's a damn shame they fucked up the style ranking system but in reality without using the demon dodge and comboing just one enemy it's not THAT easy to bring your style rank up... it's just through some tricks you can get it up rather easily and the fact that it doesn't really go down at all really puts a damper on your actions in the game. It's such a basic oversight that it boggles my mind that they haven't fixed it yet or even talked about fixing it.

No, because it isn't even out for another week and a half.

Ninja Theory just wasn't going to win from the looks of things. So long as I enjoy it then ill see it as a success
Well that's a terrible video to put out for the game because it's on LDK mode with Super Dante (unlimited DT mode) that always gives your more style points because of increased damage. The increased number of enemies means you will always get high style points because of the piercing nature of a DT'd Stinger.
Not representative of actual combat in DMC4.
The novelty of the dozens of enemies (holy shit) is the only thing going on there.
I can't see why that can't be done in DmC.
That's a PC only mode though. No way that can be done on a console version for DmC but PC version maybe.
Yeah I know, I was talking more about the endless string of stingers.

Depends on your sense of humor I guess
Ranking system in the demo is broken on a fundamental level in almost every aspect, and both NT and Capcom reps have demonstrated no interest in fixing it when it's been brought to their attention.
It's almost like the systems in this game are only in there for its legacy's sake, while NT has no idea how they even work.

breaking down barriers in gratuitous nudity
We will when we're too busy playing Rising, uploading combat porn on youtube, AND it outsells DmC.
lol. I'm glad that the discourse has gotten better though, from both sides. I'll admit even I spewed a lot of venom and had to stay away from these threads for a whle but man, when my second favorite franchise from last gen gets watered down like this, it's just a kick in the nuts. DMC fans should form a support group with fans of Splinter Cell, Hitman, Tomb Raider, and like 10 other franchises this gen that got watered to chase the casual crowd.
