Live DmC Quick Look?

Oh, so it has nothing to do with Brad's review specifically?

In my opinion Brads review is a lightning rod for all the people out there that were convinced the new DMC could be nothing but terrible. Any review that says otherwise seems to be wrong...
 
You didn't bold the part where he said the combat is worse than the other DMC games, do you honestly think that people should be happy a series known for it's mechanics is going backwards?

You can focus only on the negative parts if you just want to be angry at the world. I just think it's funny that this guy is shitting all over the game, then links "the only review that matters", and it's generally very positive about the gameplay. You'd think this was a Dragon Age->Dragon Age 2 level of franchise destruction based on the reactions.
 
Sorry, but you can't have it both ways. You can't attempt to use the Devil May Cry name for the new game to cash in on the popularity of previous titles, while simultaneously claiming that you cannot compare the game to those same previous titles and they no longer matter.

It's not about hardcore fans being able to compare it to the older games. It's about Brad reviewing it without caring about the old games. This game wasn't for people like crazy cat avatar guy and this review isn't either. So the claim that Brad's review has zero merit to anyone because he didn't finish DMC3 is absurd. Him having played part 1 - 4 has zero meaning when it comes to sharing his point of view on a fresh reboot.

He clearly states that it has the worst combat in the series, & given that that was what the games were known for I am confused to why you think that is a positive.
 
Looking at Brad playing this, this looks like Devil May Cry. I'm a Fan™ of the series though, so apparently I'm supposed to be really, really angry. I should really download the demo.

...

So what's the deal with the style meter? That video that was going around showed you getting SSS for looking angrily at an enemy, but it doesn't seem nearly that bad here.

Wasn't the complaint that the Style Meter could only go up and not down? I thought I read that somewhere. That once you locked in SSS, you could just use the same move over and over again without penalty.

Brad did the exact same thing in the quick look just nobody realised it. He seemed to pull off a devil dodge into the Arbiter string so get an SSS.

Yeah, there was a bit of a silence after Brad was talking about how S and SSS were hard to get and then his score for the level gave him S and SS for everything.
 
I'm listening to the podcast from 1/1/13. Was fighting back laughter and tears at work when Vinnie said

"oh so it wasn't just AAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGHHHH CAAAAAARRRRRSS!!!!!!!!"
 
I don't get why they feel like they have to work so hard to justify Brad's review.

They needed to explain where the 5/5 came from I guess. It makes sense from a more casual (ugh) viewpoint but for hardcores is pretty much useless, and that's fine. Looks competently made but not what I'm looking for personally.
