Capcom had that coming for DmC. Pointless reboot that didn't change anything in a meaningful way but change the look while sacrificing core game play mechanics. Dumbing down a game for a larger audience is NEVER a good thing, especially when said series lives and dies with its fanbase. Devil May Cry was never a HUGE franchise where they can expect this. God of War? yes, they can reboot the series in another mythology. DMC? NO WAY.
That being said, I played the game for about an hour or so and I enjoyed what I played, but this shouldn't be the direction where Capcom takes the series. It played more like a GoW game to me than a real DMC game.
