I think the music in the game is pretty damn excellent, I thought it really fit. I wouldn't listen to it outside of the game, but then the same goes for previous entries into the series anyway, basically.

Context matters.
I thought there was a new version of DMC4's cheesy "Never Surrender"? I have the sudden urge to listen to that.

Oh I understand completely.
By all means Devils Never Cry in DMC3 is a "bad" song but god damn if it doesn't pump you up to play some DMC.
Some music in the game definitely pumps you up, so it does what it set out to do.
Yeah that's how I knew what I had to do.

Never Surrender is also in the cinematic with the trailer in the first mission and the BGM to the first fight of the game.
I also liked it the most of the songs in the game, it's pretty infectious.
I know, right? The soundtrack seemed like it wouldn't work all that well based on the trailers but it actually fits the game brilliantly. First game in the "series" in which I'd say the music actually contributed to the experience. Also, fuck, even if the story ultimately let me down, the presentation of it is just damn good. I love the way NT handles cutscenes. The entire intro was just fantastic (just restarted the game last night).
The game makes a great first impression. For some reason, strong introductions really stick with me after a game is all said and done. The other four games in the series never really did much for me on that front but DmC just knocks it out of the park. It sets up the villain right away, delivers a great credits sequence, and then kicks right into Dante's setup.
I actually popped in DMC3 HD just after finishing this one and, yeah, the gameplay is still hot but the intro to the game feels weak in comparison. Still an awesome game but, man, the anime doll characters, ugly intro, and segmented beginning definitely doesn't do much for me.
Seriously? The music in both of those games (especially 4) is repetitive to the point of frustration and never good. I hated most of the tunes in those games. :\

Oh it is? I didn't even realize.
Yup. It's fucking awful. Every other song in the soundtrack is overshadowed by this huge oversight.

I agree about the normal battle themes, but the boss battle music in DMC4 is probably my favorite in the series (with the original DMC's boss musical tracks coming in second)

I like DMC4s track mainly for this

Not going to lie I sort of forgot the other songs, but I think there was one more really good one.

I don't play with the mouse at all though, all the inputs are on the keyboard and I use the mouse only for occasional camera control. I think the game plays great on KB, much better than previous DMC games where you constantly had to hold down a lock on button and do directional inputs. Doing back, forward inputs on KB was pretty awful. You don't do double tap motions that much in the game anyway.
As far as the OST to DmC goes I liked 3 tracks. The track that played at the final boss fight (because it had the least amount of vocals), one of the battle themes that played earlier on (called No Redemption) and the battle theme that plays in the club mission (Sent us to destroy). All 3 of them have a certain part in them that gets me going. The rest of the track are just mediocre wub dub and a shit ton of screaming in the mic to the point of being distracting. Honestly speaking the soundtrack isn't that much better or worse than previous games, probably better than DMC4's soundtrack just because of the variety in this one.

That should have been the default battle music for the whole game, all previous Devil May Cry games have one or two battle tunes that play when enemies appear.
My favorite is still http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaiEljOMtd4 from DMC3. I don't understand what the hell is the guy singing but it's so fun trying making up the lyrics:
Maybe there is a way to mod songs into the game?

Alright, just bought the game. It better not let me down, even though it's slower than DMC.

Done. Pretty enjoyable overall.
Really did like it. Entertaining at least. Not a bad way to start the year off. Only ever played the first game and part four. So it's not really a series I hold near and dear or anything.
Mundus was the worst part to me. Just generic to the max. Also, that ending kind of blew. Mundus was stupid easy to the point I couldn't believe it was over. And then it turns out it's not, because Vergil flips his shit out of nowhere. Dumb. I feel like we just didn't learn enough about his character for it to mean anything or for it to feel natural. He was also fucking crazy easy, like the easiest fight in the game easy. I could have taken down an army of those bitches, let alone two of him.
Also, I hope to fuck they planned on Dante's hair turning white from the start and that wasn't just them caving to internet bitching.

Yea. I've been in a dark electronica beat so Combichrist's songs have fit me right in. My favorite song by far is No Redemption. The only crime with that song is that its so short.

I honestly didn't notice that. Had I not asked what to do I'd probably still be sitting in front of my monitor now wondering what to do. The game should have at least
had Virgil insta-kill you or something when you miss the opening to take him out

Have people always described DMC as "anime"? How the chatacter design or looks are anime? Swear I have never seen this before until now
Or are you guys just pointing out that the characters have Japanese feel to them...?

If they did it was meant as a positive or just an interesting design choice, as opposed to being a negative.
That is just because it took people a while to realized that Japanese pop-culture really wasn't any more original than American pop culture; it just had a different cliches to become accustomed to. Original Dante is definitely as much of cliche as the dude bro Gears of War guys are.
It's obviously still personal preference. Some people love that stuff. I definitely prefer the new Dante.
Also there is nothing that Ninja Theory could ever do that is nearly as goddamn awful as the use of the phrase "jelly" to mean jealous.
I'm just curious, but what didn't you like about it? I've watched the DMC3 intro after playing DmC, and I still absolutely love it. I think it's aged very well. It's really personal preference.
Ya. DMC3's cutscenes are much more entertaining. I pretty much have just skipped everything in my post-Nephilim DmC runs.

I'd argue that it's not a preference for "anime" or otherwise Japanese cultural tropes but the role of character design and cutscene presentation as it relates to gameplay. I don't think anyone is claiming that they like old Dante in a vacuum because he's handsome and has white hair.

Finished on Neflim. Enjoyable ride. Solid combat, nice level design, shitty(technical) 10fps cutscenes.
Writing and voice acting were excellent. I especially liked Vergil and how he delivered his lines. Cold. Swag.
Mundus was a joke, but he had some entertaining lines too.
Dante's coat annoyed me through the whole game, looks just bad. Give me alt costumes.

All great changes. But someone forgot to tell them that you can do the same trick as Firework but with Kablooey shots.
A lot of these changes look like feedback from the demo but they really should increase health/increase damage of the bosses in SoS/DMD. DMD bosses are a joke. I can beat the Hunter in 15 seconds flat.

This is the 1.6GB patch notes right? Still no fix for no controller vibration post patch?

A lot of those changes in the patch seem like direct feedback from the demo. Looks like that was the fastest they can put it out. I'd imagine getting an approval for a patch took weeks time alone.

The first one is awful, the second one on the other hand...
Or Lady.
I wouldn't mind that to be the design of either character. I pointed that out in my review several pages back. Really dig that design.
Completed the game for the first time on Nephilim.
Combat was pretty good, not DMC3/4 good but good enough, better than anything God of War has made so far at least.
Writing was definetly better than previous games but while that might be a good thing I feel like DMC lost a little of its charm with it. Since I didnt care much about story in earlier games, I kinda liked the corny lines.
Story overall was "eh".
Awesome graphical level design, hats off to Ninja Theory for anything Limbo related.
Weak points are the combat that is brutally easy to be, according to the game, "good" at. All other action games have kicked my ass so far, this is first time I pretty much got S or higher rank in all missions after the first one. And on the hardest available difficulty on the start.
Also bosses are kinda boring. Too much grappling around and they were easy to beat.
And then a few other minor details.
Overall, great action game definetly. Just not that great for a already trained DMC fan.

Kudos though on the Bob Bardas design, it was pretty awesome to look at.

Found a fix, Alt-Tab during gameplay and the vibration should work.
That's because it's the best boss fight in the entire game.

lol Old Dante. Such garbage
My biggest problem with this game is that the camera keeps getting caught up on the environment. It's like Kingdom Hearts all over again. Other than that, the game is pretty enjoyable so far (I'm on mission 2). I'm not the biggest DMC fan, but I might give the older ones another chance once I beat this.

Nazi chic is boring.Oh and this will cause a bunch of hate my way, probably, but looking at both of them next to each other I think I like Vorgol better. Too bad he sucked in DmC.
aight
That's part of the appeal.
