News at 11: gaygaffers are hot.
As someone who played the first DMC1 (it was good) back in the day, and then DmC (honestly it's okay, just too cut-scene happy) recently, should I be hyped that I just bought DMC3 and 4 on Steam? :3
Yes, you're in for a treat. DMC3 is still considered to be one of the best action games. The amount of selectable fighting styles and weapon combos give you a lot of flexibility in how you can play it. Graphics and animation might feel a little outdated nowadays, but the core of the game is still great. Not to mention, if you care about characters/story, it has (IMHO) the best character in the series: Lady.
DMC4 has its problems, but it's still a (very) good game. Backtracking and repeated boss battles might be viewed as a huge problem, but considering that in the middle of the game you switch characters and start playing as someone with completely different fight styles, weapons and abilities - it's really not. One annoying thing in the game though - the dice roll mini game. But when you learn
the trick it stops being a nuisance.
