Devil May Cry/YMMV: Difference between revisions
Moved Tear Jerker trope to its respectable page.
(Alas, Poor Villain, Excuse Plot, Fake Ultimate Mook, Flanderization and In Name Only are NOT YMMV tropes; moved Nightmare Fuel trope to its respectable page.) |

Line 94:
** Of course, complaints have extended straight out to the gameplay as well, mostly because of slow and dull-looking combat and how Dante seems to take forever and a half to kill a single enemy. Really, when people think ''Devil May Cry 2'' looks like a halfway-decent entry to the series compared to this, ''you're doing something wrong.''
** "I don't care". These three words, uttered by Tameen Antoniades himself regarding the outcries against the reboot, have pissed off damn near every single fan.
* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: Okay, so whose great idea was it to invent the Proud Soul system and have it work [[Adam Smith Hates Your Guts|the exact same way]] as the regular Red Orb purchases?
** It works because earlier games forced you to choose whether you wanted to spend your Red Orbs on items or abilities, and refunds weren't allowed. However, in ''4'', you can return abilities for a refund in Proud Souls (and at the current price!), allowing you to effectively customize your moveset.
*** Although to compensate for the customizeability, you can only get additional Proud Souls after you finish a mission, making it so that you can't get any new abilities mid-mission, and the cost of every single ability goes up when you buy one, making maxing out all abilities prohibitively expensive, far more expensive than the total cost of all abilities in any of the previous games... and naturally [[Last Lousy Point|there's an achievement for getting all abilities]]. Furthermore, few people actually use the Red Orbs for anything beyond the storebought [[Heart Container|Blue and Purple Orbs]] and thus most of them just end up going to waste after you get the maximum number of both. The only good aspect about them is the fact that Proud Souls are shared between characters, meaning Dante won't start off with zero abilities when the game switches over to him.
** Whose great idea was it to put a time limit on Bloody Palace?
Line 108:
* [[Tainted by the Preview]]: "NERO!"
** ''DmC: Devil May Cry'' is getting an '''astronomical''' amount of this, with several fans [[Fanon Discontinuity|refusing to acknowledge its existence]]. We're talking about even more flak than ''Devil May Cry 2'' got.
* [[That One Attack]]: If you get swallowed by Nightmare, you're sent into a demonic dimension where you must fight several [[Dem Bones|Sargassoes]] and one of the previous bosses to get out.
** This also doubles as Nightmare's [[Achilles' Heel]]. Escaping from this dimension deals a sizable portion of damage to Nightmare's health bar. However, [[It Only Works Once]]; you can only be swallowed up by Nightmare once as all subsequent attempts to eat Dante simply results in a normal bite.
