Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition (Steam):
Even when DMC4 shipped back in 2008 it was a half finished slog, a graveyard of unrealized possibilities.
It's only saving grace was combat and some
ad-libbed ludicrous non-sequitur cutscenes. Everything else was terrible to awful: story was bad, pacing was non-existent, ranking system was in direct contradiction to itself and rewarded stupid collectathon over actual skill, backtracking was obnoxious, new introduced characters were so-so and both of Dante old flames suddenly became jiggly titmonsters:
So 7 years after we get a "Special Edition" that instead of fixing the damn game only adds three new characters that only makes backtracking problem even WORSE.
That's despite that Nero is screaming for how underdeveloped he is. His controls leave out one button COMPLETELY unused for crying out loud, which is outrageous for action game. How about adding more depth there?
Nope. They just added fanservice baits -- Vergil and two girls. And Vergil has been dead as a nail for two decades by DMC4 chronology -- that's how far they're reaching.
Still DMC is a great series and i felt i needed to do something to support it, so i bought it for myself and to some other guy in my friendlist who had in his wishlist.
Game costing just 16$ in my region helped too.
As to actual game. It's still the same goddamn DMC4 for all it's bad and bad. But now it miraculously performs much worse despite looking the same as in 2008. Oh and it also crashes for me when i try to change "PC settings".
Yay.
