    Hm, so right on par with what I expected. I definitely called out on the enemy design problem since the very first gameplay footage showed up, so the final product having that issue is disappointing, but at least I already expected it. What I didn't expect, was the game having the story as a weak point, if there's one thing NT had done right so far was that, and was one of the reasons the reebot seemed to be worth it- Since the story in all the previous DmCs was frankly a piece of shit in all of them. But ih well, at least the combat IS really fun from what I played in the demo. Probably will get it, but I am not in any hurry of doing so any soon. That privilege goes to MGR: Rising, which I will be seriously surprised if it doesn't turn out to be superior than this one.

    With you on that one. Can't wait for MGRR.

    I'm so getting this. Not right now - my wallet is a little flat after the steam sale - but sometime in the future. :)

    An 8? Not bad! The story's lacklust? Expected that honestly.

    I expected just the opposite. The strength of Ninja Theory's games has always been their story and their combat has oft been the lackluster element. But I guess I may have miss interpreted that as great characterization. As long as that is in tact I'm fine with excellent combat with great characters and an okay story.

    Four stars sounds about right on par with all other Ninja Theory games. They always have great games that are just shy of perfect.

    I'm interested how this turns out. I know it's way different then the last four. I know a lot of people are against it due to the reboot, but sometimes a reboot can work at. Here's hoping
