I'm going to try and pretend that the devs of this game weren't outright antagonistic to original Devil May Cry fans.
The plot is dribbling shit, and Dante in this game is both hard to sympathize with and hard to like, with some of the most immature dialogue I've ever heard. But honestly, I think the combat get's too much flak. It isn't THAT bad, even if the alternate weapons outside of 2 aren't all that fun to use, and the devil trigger is dumb, and... okay, it's not super great, but it has the spirit of devil may cry in it.
You can still be pretty stylish (and the meter was adjusted post release to reflect this instead of being childishly easy to get) and this game actually has real level design, unlike the rest of the series. So it's not a total wash. It's conflicting, since I was one of the DMC fans annoyed at this pre release, but I don't think it's as bad as people say.
