I have played it quite extensively. It's the most fun I ever had with a demo and it multiplied my excitement for the game greatly. I pre-ordered the game right after playing it and it is now one of my most anticipated games of 2013.

It's just extremely fun. People just need to look at this game as its own thing. On it's own merits it's extremely good. Campare it to another well loved hack n slash such as God of War. The new DmC is far superior.

How do you feel about the changes made gameplay wise vs previous DMC games (no lock on, triggers for weapons, grapple thing, etc) I recall you being a fan of hack and slash games and of aving played the previous DMC games.

The lack of lock'on is certainly the biggest change as it takes some combat options but no biggie. I also didnt liked the fact you have to hold the triggers to use other weapons. I would prefer to change them with only a button press. Other than that I liked of what I played. I acknowledge the combat in the new DmC isnt as complex as DMC3/4 but its still fun and after (re)learning jump cancel I was able to do some pretty neat stuff in the demo. I also like the fact that now we can do an upercut with only one button as back+triangle was somewhat unintuitive and was highly dependable on the camera position

the 30fps are noticeable but it still run smooth for the most part. Overall, I liked it

My complaints are pretty much similar to yours. I kind of wish there was a way to permanently change your weapon instead of having to hold down the triggers. Overall the gameplay seems more simplistic but still offers the ability to pull off some nice combos. I'm glad the grapple thing works to the same effect as the Devil Bringer from DMC4 since that made combos much easier. My main concern at this point is the boss fights. I was not impressed with the boss fight in the demo at all so I hope there are some awesome bosses akin to Nelo Angelo, Beowulf, Credo, etc.

I don't really care about the story or anything but the voice acting in the demo was pretty abysmal and lacked the cheesy charm that Dante had in previous games (minus DNC2).

If you are completely irrational, or claim you want different things in gaming, but piss n whine over the new take on this then it stinks. But I liked it.

Yeah,only DMC is SUPPOSED to be different.

Good that DmC is trying to be different. But there's a "good" different and there's a "bad" different.

Alienating the fanbase is the worst thing a dev can do at this point too. Why is NT doing this? I have no idea. Most likely they're banking on the casual market to eat it up, with the help of mass media support and lying (ironic that the game is trying to be a satire of that).

Anyway I stand by my opinion that the game isn't that good judging by the demo and videos. MGS:R demo was quite surprising on the other hand, it was an interesting take from Platinum and I liked it. Going to get that game instead of DmC.

no, there isn't a good or bad different. There is a lot different opinions. Nobody has the authority to objectively make that call here. You don't like it, others do. That's about the truth of it.

Alienating Fanbase = Bad game direction
Catering to both the fans and non-fans = good direction

Why is Mario the most successful and most used IP to date? It's doing something different but at the same time not alienating the fanbase majority, same for Zelda and other Nintendo IPs. If for some reason a different studio acquired the rights to Mario and made it a platformer with ultra violence, wouldn't that be a bad decision overall that changes public perception? I'm not trying to troll, but at least try to understand why I'm reasoning this way.

Of course there is a grey area and not everything is in absolutes and I'm not trying to be completely objective (I'm being just vocal with my opinion and sharing what the general consensus of the fanbase is)

Tried the demo last night, but I was too tired to enjoy it really.

Yeah, the boss fight was kinda easy and I didnt liked much of her design but I'll take it'll be an early boss in the game. Hope the rest of bosses are more challenging and with regular size [spoiler] well, Vergil is gonna be a boss so hopefully that will be good [/spoiler] When it comes to Dante, I actually think he's kinda more of a serious version of DMC3 Dante. DMC3 Dante was just ridiculously over-the-top. I still prefer the old Dante, but the new one does not anoy me.

I don't know where the source is, so you don't have to believe me or anything, but I remember hearing the boss in the demo was actually a boss later on in the game.
