No surprise the story telling in DMC is still a low point for many gamers. lol. I remember when I first got into the series the writing & dialogue didn't seem so bad but years later I couldn't help but to recognize it as complete campy cheese. (Which in its' own way is still "awesome" in a low brow juvenile kind of way.)
It's good Ninja Theory made the basic enemies more interesting to fight though it's a shame they fumbled a bit with the bosses.
Be that as it may, something about the reboot still intrigues me & I imagine I'll enjoy it when I get the chance to play it!
Thanks for the insightful review,mate!
