GAMING NEWSNinja Theory Discusses DmC's Satire: "It Is A Reflection Of Our Times"Posted on Wednesday, January 30 @ 10:58:57 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
![]() I don't know about you, but I found DmC: Devil May Cry to be quite the humorous and enjoyable experience thanks to some clever writing and solid voice acting. However, not everyone felt the same way, so Ninja Theory has taken it upon themselves to spell out the game's comedic angle. “Satire is a peculiarly British focus. From Spitting Image to Have I Got News for You, we don’t hold back in ridiculing the establishment and getting to the truth through humour," Ninja Theory’s Dominic Matthews told Rock, Paper, Shotgun. "DmC is no different in that regard. It’s a comical satire on the world we live in. It shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but it is a reflection of our times." Matthews went on to add that because this game was designed for a mature audience, they felt comfortable layering in humor that could be appreciated by someone of that demographic. “Our games are being played by intelligent adults, so there is no reason why we can’t treat them as such.” Have you played DmC yet? If so, what do you think of the game's humor? Is it done intelligently? Share your thoughts in the comments below. [Via] More from the Game Revolution Network Comments

And the funny part is Dante himself. He is completely out of touch with the world problem, rather then go out and help people, he just waves his hand backward and walks away. My favorite scene is when that order girl started ranting about society and their woes. Then Dante just starts rolling his eyes and say "Whatever..." as he dash out, leaving her hanging. The game is forcing you to piece the lore together from the order point of view rather then Dante. I kinda like that. It shows how detached Dante is to the rest of society in his own comical way.

As for the game....It was good but not as great as I expected it to be. It did one thing that really angered me about smash um up games. Dont have me spend most of my points upgrading a weapon when your going to have me replace it half way through the game. Yes I know you can switch back and forth but in the end I wanted to use the newer weapons.
