[Enuf]

Bout damn time now to pm at BB

[Azuvidexus]

Sort of interested, any feedback, fellas?

[Havok83]

its likely to drop real fast

[Azuvidexus]

The game was released on January 15, so it only took two months (more or less) to drop 42% :O

[strizay]

I'll pick it up when it drops to $20, too much to play now as it is.

[Saix_XIII]

I really want this game, but just like strizay...I have way too much to play to even get it for $35, $20 and it's an instant buy for me.

[ShadowAssassin]

This game is the epitome of a black friday pickup for me.

[malethief]

Honestly it's practically every few weeks we get a lot of high profile or good games coming out this generation on home consoles and handheld devices, it's hard to keep up. Then they don't sell so the series/franchise gets killed or takes a backseat for a while.

Can't buy this right now. Too many games I have to catch up on.

[zzamaro]

Great price.

[legendarydogs]

Don't bother people. This is the kind of game you pick up in the $15 black friday bin.

[CaoPi]

drop more, just wait a few more months,no hurry!

[gunnm]

Goty.

I've only done 1 trade with Amazon, don't really care for Amazon credit anymore since I rarely buy from there but seeing how I already platted the game and beat Vergil's Downfall I think I'll trade it with Amazon considering the TiV over at BB has plummeted big time ever since they had that Resident Evil 6 deal.

When it came out I wasn't going to get it because I figured it wouldn't live up to the standards of old games, plus I've hated everything Ninja Theory has put out (Heavenly Sword & Enslaved). I only bought it since it came out to $20 after using the $50 Visa promo.

But damn was I wrong, it's a fun game, and although not to the standard of the previous DMC titles. For me it's:

DMC3 > DMC >> DmC > DMC4 > DMC2

The recent game update tightened the score mechanics, (which was my only gripe since the game gave you SSS's left and right with hardly a challenge). I'm not big on loud metal/dubstep but it fit perfectly with the game and I thoroughly enjoyed the soundtrack.

Once it hits $20 I def recommend people who enjoyed the previous series to give it a shot though, well worth it at that price. (Unless you plan on just playing through SP once, then def rent it.)

Waiting for it to hit $15 so I can use the $20 I saved to buy some delicious pizza and strawberry sundaes to honor the late Dante.

I'm pretty sure you can use old Dante to play it

[EYEL1NER]

I was so ready to buy this but didn't see where it said "PS3" in the title.
Ah, not getting it now might mean I will be able to pass on the next deal for it in favor of a better price.

Never been THAT big a DMC fan (not big enough that I would boycott Capcom for getting Ninja Theory to switch things up or anything) but I thought the demo was really good. I liked the first and fourth game well enough and haven't put much time into the third but liked it too. Maybe I'll just buy the HD trilogy right now instead.

[KemperJones]

If my backlog wasn't so huge, I'd jump on this. Waiting for a $20 price point.

[GuardianE]

Hold onto your wallets. This game sold pretty poorly, which means bargain bin prices soon. I suggest waiting it out because it'll be much cheaper soon.

You can't. It's DLC that you have to buy. Yay, Capcom!

[ECisMe]

This game is awesome, IMO. Big improvement on the old ones, which I kind of like but always found the jumping puzzles to be a chore. The jumping puzzles for this one use a grappling system and are a lot less frustrating (for me, anyway) to do. Yeah, they changed Dante's look but I was never attached to the original Dante. The voice actors are really great, even if the script isn't the best. The combat system is probably too easy for the super hardcore, SSS-ranked 100,000-hours in pro guys, but for the rest of us it's smooth and fun. It's more crowd managing than dueling, but has its own charm with the light and dark weapon alternating in mid battle. Kind of reminded me of Lords of Shadow's combat system.

For $35 I would recommend it. Given the viciously competitive nature of the games business, I'm sure in a couple months this will be down to $20. If you need something to play now and you're an action fan, I don't think you would regret it. There's also DLC now that I haven't tried yet, so I can't comment on that.

[crookshow]

Got the pc version for around 30 bucks on release and it was totally worth it. Was really surprised at how well it performed on my 2+ year old rig. The hate for this game is seriously overblown by people who most likely haven't even played it.

[GuardianE]

Pick up the HD Collection of DMC instead if you're an action fan. Honestly, DmC is a true disappointment, and is the weakest DMC, combat-wise, since DMC2.

And the story? Not even as good as DMC3, which is surprising considering how many people swear by Ninja Theory's writing.

[mpaullin]

Not sure if this is worth its own thread, but I just got an email from Groupon with this game for the same price, but on both systems. Free shipping also.

Perhaps the OP could change the thread to include this?

[jut22]

Whoa I just traded this game into Amazon for $33!

[Rsmobile]

Lots of fun, this one. Not quite as good as
the old games but it's quite fun and unique in it's own way.

Beats DMC4.

[dohdough]

Whoa I just traded this game into Amazon for $33!

LOLZ...me too!

Honestly, if some of you insist on getting this pile, I do not recommend getting this game for the PS3. The best version by far is the PC version. The AI crashes, the game crashes during loading, bosses become invincible, enemies get stuck in the air, the lock-on sucks for difficulties above Nephilim, and I haven't even gotten into how how paper thin the story and narrative is. There's like zero character development except for a couple of the bosses...this is not an exaggeration. I expected more from Ninja Theory considering how they were hyping their ability to tell a story and having liked Heavenly Sword.

The combat system, itself, was ok, but is worthless because one weapon is so OP that you don't need anything else until you encounter a color-coded enemy that requires a weapon that is severely under-powered. Escort and platforming missions are a huge slog and really bring down replayability for certain levels.

And the lighting/shadow effects...jeebus, they're BAD.

Wait for the game to hit $20 or less people.
