    Hi all,

    Rather intrigued by this release called Devil May Cry.
    Rating on ign at 8.9
    DmC: Devil May Cry Review (PC) - IGN

    Uses the Unreal 3 engine and has glorious colors and futuristic scenery and feel to it with excellent fps.
    Post thoughts/opinions in here :)

    I believe the proper name is DmC: Devil May Cry: TMRVGNEC: The Most Redundant Video Game Name Ever Conceived

    It's my first Devil May Cry that I've been playing so far, but I quite like the game. I am at mission 10 or 11 and did receive another cool weapon, so it's getting better and better. :D

    lol those are good ones.

    I read the cut-scenes were really awful quality. Horribly compressed and ghetto looking.

    idk, haven't played it. Didn't read anything about that. What frame rates are you getting? Is it micro stuttering or just low fps?

    sorry but this game is made by Ninja Theory, a 100% bonafide western dev. And yeah it's a blast to play. Don't listen to haters =.=.

    And yeah unless your laptop has driver issue or you are very nitpicking, most people have absolutely no problem playing the game on PC.

    With 60FPS compared to 30 on console, who can complain?

    Yup up to Mission 5.
    Love how the weapons are improved at end of each mission.

    Great story line too. Can anyone recommend how to beat the devil at end of mission 5 he has shield and is very hard to beat lol....
    edit: figured it out use the big axe with e :)

    So far so good I have found this game extremely addictive and entertaining. Rate it better than Far Cry 3 which I got bored of after first few missions.
    The unreal engine is very lifelike and has excellent graphics and the colors of the engine are amazing. The size of the world is huge..and the fps is extremely high but I have noticed glitches and stutters as others have so far.

    Highly highly recommended.
    Just finished Mission 10 with Bob Barba LOL it's a classix...

    Well just finished the 20 levels and simply amazing.
    The most spectacular fluid and colorful game I have ever played. It ranks up there in the top 5 4 sure.

    I can't believe there isn't more talk about this one.
    It has it all and the controls are quite challenging to master but once you have control wowza the moves are amazing with the keyboard.
    The 20 levels are long..probably one of the longest games to complete.

    The unreal engine, the storyline, the graphics my god the graphics the end of level monsters everything is very very well put together. FPS always above 70 averaging 85fps not one single crash throughout the 20 levels..there is also quite a lot of humor and swearing but it's all tied perfectly together...man it rox and the soundtrack is awesome.
    A truly amazing achievement.

    Well done Ninja theory...

    I've been having a blast yesterday with this game on my Sig laptop running ultra @1920x1200. Can't believe how well optimized this game is, runs flawlessly around 45-60 fps without any stutter for me. The gameplay is really nice too and I am digging the story so far and artistic style. Don't know why people were hating on this game (saw some reviews on youtube, probably for the consoles) but I think that so far this is the best DMC game I have played. Combat is so much more fun and engaging, right now this game is top priority ;) (over Dota 2, black ops 2 and Skyrim).

    that isnt spoiling much I think. I've only tried the first 15 minutes of the game with a PS3 controller and yeah it feels very satisfying to hack and slash them up even though I barely know any combo at all. I wonder how long this game will last though.

    Only thing I've heard about the game is the hair debate. White --> Black right? What's the deal with that? :p
