Ninja Theory Discusses DmC's Satire: "It Is A Reflection Of Our Times"

Hmmm... a theme that i really like in DmC, so far, is how the population refuse to fight because they are "in debt". They feel like they owe time and effort and disregard the order as simple terrorist even though they are trying to help the people from those problems (by fighting demons, i know).

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.

So far I'm liking it. I think Ninja Theory did a great job, but we will get the whiners in here in a bit saying the new DmC doesn't look like animu so it sucks.

For now, let's enjoy our own company! They can never take this away!

how do people not find DMC funny? i had a few tears in my eye when Dante makes his way into the night club. The guy at the door says 'you're not on the list', so Dante knocks him out, grabs the clipboard writes something on it and then says 'i am now', and when he drops it you can see he's written 'Fuck you'. Games never make me laugh that much, the only exception might be portal 2

Hehe and another moment that i like is at the very beginning in the amusement park. He heads into this horror house and there's a quick cut scene where a bunch of demons starts appearing. One appears at a distance and Dante goes "Ok...", then some huge buzz saw starts ripping them in pieces "Huh-hu... great..." and then, out of nowhere, a horror house prop pops up just in front of Dante, spooking me but he goes "Whatever". All this in less then 6 seconds.

Genius!

haha yeah i remember that prop. man, talking about this makes me want to keep playing since i've nearly finished it, but i have a cast on my right hand and it's really hard to play xbox, especially games that require the right hand to smash the buttons (with thought, of course)

I actually rather enjoyed the conspiracy theory twist that integrates into our current society. Society controlled by debt. People made lethargic and fat by whats in our drinks. Demons controlling our society compared to the shape shifting lizard theory.

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.

As far as the weapons go, I think it's more about using all of them in one combo, you get more style points if you use variety, you can have some pretty sick looking combos like that

I will concede. Im not very much into style points. I mostly was playing the game for the story.

That's fair enough, I'm enjoying the story too. I like how simple they've made it, I sometimes have a hard time paying attention during cut-scenes (even though I love a good story) but so far there's nothing about the plot that confuses me. Interesting and easy to follow
