DmC gets blasted in Metacritic user ratings

M enjoy lots.... Dante U are just aswm.. I think every one those are like ninja action, everybdy enjoyd this game.. my fvrt action pose E+F+Lft mus CLICK :-)

now waiting for DMC 6....

How about old Dante coming and impaling this emo shit through the ass?

Most of the gamers Devil May Cry's fans want old Dante back, CAPCOM fakes that is not hearing, but it is. Capcom can't ignore us for much time... RE Revelations was the prove that the producers gave ear to the old fans, besides that shit of RE 6...

DMC  is really bad. hated the tedious boss fights, they are all the same with different skins. everyone require you to run around in a circle like a chicken with it's head cut off while the giant head/monster/or whatever sits in the center spitting shit at you. what a snore. it bored me to death at halfway. and the story, what the heck is that, twin brothers, just like all those other japanese stories. not one bit of creativity in this game. i gave it a 2/10.

Metacritic user scores are so fake it's not even funny. You can find videos on YouTube where people show how they post hundreds of "zero" reviews to drive scores down for particular games they dislike.

I loved DMC 1 and 3 (two was trash). DMC 4 was entertaining. But I really love the reboot. The weak point in the original DMC's was the story. I really like the story in the new DMC. I like how they tied Dante and Virgil together. You can pull off some serious combos in this game, The action is fun and intense. I don't see why everyone is bashing this new DMC is amazing. Remember people were upset when they announced the reboot of the Batman movies, look how awesome they turned out. With this new story there are so many avenues capcom can go, I think Ninja Theory did an awesome job.

As a fan since the DMC3, what I personally want is for this new DmC game is to be an integrative addition to the series instead of a total reboot. I?d prefer the emo Dante be set as (e.g.) a grandson of original Dante who lives in different era. Thus, no conflict there. The previous playable characters remain intact in the DMC universe, available for future sequels. So there would be 4 playable characters, each with its own concept of combat: original Dante (have many styles & weapons), Nero (badass overpowered devil hand and chargeable sword/gun), Vergil (ass kicking katana swordmanship), and emo Dante (half demon half angel). Then I want Capcom to make a specialized game for each/some of them regularly, improving on previous concepts. And then I want Capcom to regularly host a grand poll asking fans what they want for the next DMC game. Basically a miracle.

Yeah b/c reviews are never bought...  ME3 has the same thing on metacritic.... 4.6 from users...

So you get two score here.  Scores from the educated few that get paid to critic and rate videogames of all kinds.  And we have the mindless thousands that probably haven't played the game but feel the need to bash it, because that's whats cool right now.  

So these reviews have a validity and credibility equal to a spoiled toddler throwing its toys out of the pram. I knew people could get pathetic, but not THIS pathetic. Anyone with an ounce of common sense will believe the critic's score.

"This is England

This knife of Sheffield steel

This is England

This is how we feel"

The Clash-This is England, from their last album "Cut the Crap"

I'm not sure why that song plays in my mind every time when I think about this new Devil May Cry.

Holy crap I can tell who hasn't played this game at all. No lifers haha wasting time making stuff up! I don't care what you say! I know in your hearts (the people bashing the game) that when you sat down and played it you thought it was f*cking awesome, but didn't want to admit how terribly wrong you were. Its not Devil May Cry we aren't in the 2000s anymore get modern. No one wants to be running around ONE castle with no plot

The combat itself is pretty average. What pulls it down is the fact that there's no way to aim your attacks, and that's a pretty big deal considering there's a lot of focus on pulling weak enemies to you and pulling yourself towards stronger enemies. Then there are color coded enemies that can only be hurt by certain weapons, limiting your combo options. Oh, and there's a shitton of bugs too(enemies that freeze in place, enemies that won't spawn, bosses become unkillable and the infamous flying glitch).

How to make a bad game look fine. A guide in three steps by Ninja Theory and Bioware:
1.Make a bad game
2.Make a feature even worse, and stir controversie around it
3.Blame any valid criticism in people angry about point 2

Not only is dantes new look and character horrible, that would be one thing. But the game itself is bad. The gameplay is shallow as it gets. Though everything looks flashy there is no depth to the combat and the style system is pointless and broken due to it being almost purely damage based. The fans are upset about a lot more then just his hair. And have been trying to tell the reviewers and others all their legitimate problems for months only to be Denigrated and talked down too.

When you say I have a problem with X, Y, Z. And the response from IGN, GAMESPOT, EUROGAMER boiles down to "YOU JUST DONT LIKE HIS HAIR". Why would the fans not be even more pissed off. The complainers havent been talking about the hair for a long time and reviewers and NinjaTheory FanBois have ignored us. Its a replay of the people that brought up valid points about what was going wrong with Diablo3 before its launch. Blizzard, just like NT did here, attacked the people with legitimate complaints rather then treat them like human beings.

The marketing straregy of attacking the core fans is what is wrong here. And GameSpot is guilty of taking part in it. So this game failing and the reviewers being exposed as nothing more then marketers is a good thing.

ive played all the dmc games and liked them all 2 was not all that great. 3 was the best out of the original series with the styles combat cutscenes and difficulty but in that story there were loose ends that left me hanging. DmC was a great game to stayed to the core gameplay the combat was fluent and left the players with plenty of control over their combat and let them make their own combos to their playstyle to me it was not a letdown it was amazing. the difficulties may have been easy as in the first dmc but as the series progressed they got harder. this one has a storyline and dantes new attitude and look fit in with it all to well. people complain about dante and virgil and how they are different and stray from the original but to me thats just opening up the series to come. if u look outside of the box this game could be a potential prequel to the original. as the original went 3 1 2. 3 left some plot holes as of why does virgil want to rule over the demons and humans. donte and virgil fight numerous times in 3 but we never got why they fought. this game gives us a look at donte as a teenager (his new look) and virgil (his new look). and also in 3 during the first fight dante asks virgil how long has it been a year which means they met before the time of 3. if u have finished the new one then u no that the ending deals with dante and virgil. so as the new series progresses we will see dante and virgil  change into the original characters we know and love. mundus was in the first one and wanted to kill dante so i take it for revenge and for spardas power which DmC has showed us. all in all i give this game an 8 for combat characters and storyline because it has so much potential to give us the backstory and events that leads up to the original

Did the game deserve to be let down because of it's story thou? Isn't that a bit unfair? There always a first time for everything.

Guess that white wig easter egg really got to the fans, ohoho.

The game isn't that bad I really enjoyed the game except when dante was screaming like a girl when mundes charged at him or when he was trying to save vergil anyway the background music is great I liked it and as they said the game rebooted so don't expect the game to be like the old ones (for me i love the old series more than the new one) But i hoped  that the new series is going to be like we'd expected (OLD SERIES) ,BUT since this is a new series i guess that they will make it better in the next game of the series

DMC is one of the best in this franchise, you must play it to understand how perfect and fun this game is.

Well, this isn't a surpise. After all, with all the damn failings/scams by the gaming companys now adays, it's no wonder fans aren't happy with all this crap we are getting. ME 3 ending, day 1 dlc, Bayonette wii u exlusive anyone, attacking the used game company (worst one) and Dante's new look which is just horrible (not to mention his attitude which is much worse than even Devil may cry 2-_-). I've been around the Devil May Cry franchise for a long time but seriously, if this is how the new games is going... then let the series die with respect.

The funny thing is that I couldn't even stand to rent the game for 1 whole day as it was a piece of $*(#. -_- 

Haven't got the chance to experience DmC yet since I'm waiting for the PC version so I can't express my opinion of it. But from what I've seen from the videos I've watched of DmC, it's definitely not worth 0's, 1's or 2's in the ratings. I mean... seriously?

DmC is honestly up there with 1 and 4 for me, as far as what tier of quality it belongs on. The game is easier than previous entries in the series, yes, but it's not so easy as to make it feel as if the game is playing itself or anything, like Enslaved kind of felt. 

By the way, for those who haven't played it yet: The combat feels fluid and fantastic. Not as hard to master as DMC 3 or 4, but the ability to swap five weapons out on the fly and in mid-combo allows you to create your own string of attacks easily. That's a plus in my book.

Also, the new Dante isn't nearly as awful as I thought he would be. The whole game is far more understated as far as the way characters behave but it's more easy to relate to, and the story as a whole is definitely of a different, and better, quality than that of previous games.

I don't know. Even as a long time fan of the DMC series and a naysayer of this iteration up until recently, I have to say that Ninja Theory surprised me in a good way with their effort and I can't wait to see what they can do with a second game.

This ISN'T news. Metacritic has always been known for un-accurate, completely fake reviews from trolls. It's rare when you see user scores above 6.0 for the overall average.

I've never played any DMC games, and i'll start with this one, because it just looks fun, and I have no intention of playing any of the series' previous games. I hope i'll make a big number of fanboys just ragechoke to death with this comment: ALL FANBOYS MUST DISAPPEAR 

(note fanboys? decent people who are fans of the series, but that category of people who build shrines to their favorite series/characters and bring gehenna unto anyone who proposes a change)

I'm a huge fan of DMC series....but this game sucks on storyline,boss battles. Whatever is left, make this game not worth buying.
