I don't care if DmC is the best action game ever, I still won't support Capcom on such a useless unwarranted reboot of a series that never needed one in the first place. They should look at Resident Evil if they want to reboot something.
Lets face the facts here. DMC4's only big issue was the backtracking. If Dante had exclusive levels and bosses it would have been almost perfect. I always invisioned DMC5 to have 3 playable characters. Dante, Nero and Virgel (unlock able). Have them go through the main game and also complete side jobs at Devil May Cray, which serves as a small hub world. You take the smaller side jobs to gain more exp to level up. Too bad Crapcom is incapable of making games these days.
Yeah. 4 is my second favorite behind 1. Nero is just too fun. Everyhing about 4 was great we just needed more of it. It was my first double dip too. Capcom just doesnt give a shit anymore. Its been obvious for a few years.
