True, but still sub-par to what DMC should be... this game had a chance to be good, only if it wasn't under the DMC brand.
So it would be good if it just wasn't called DMC? Flawless logic.
No need to be sarcastic. This is like the new Crash Bandicoot games.
The new Bandicoot games sucked because they sucked, not because they were called Crash Bandicoot. Changing it to bear with bird wouldn't have made them any better.

but the fact that they're actually bad remakes of the original characters, that just makes them suck because the fans will always like the Naughty Dog versions more.
Good thing then that the only thing that's similar to this DMC and the previous one's is his name so far. Right? So it's gonna be good.

If they named him Sue, Tony, Sparks or anything else and made him an equivalent of Nero, then he had a chance to be ok. Remember that Nero was kinda hated in the beginning as well, since fans were outraged by him stealing the spotlight in DMC4, but that passed simply because he was a
different character than Dante. Imo, they can add how many characters they want to the original series, but Dante needs to stay Dante, one, if not the most central and strongest character in the DMC Universe.
Nero was way better than Dante in DMC4 and much more FABULOUS.
Arguing that a name change can better a character simply because they're no longer bound to a previous incarnation is stupid. A name doesn't make or break a character, story, or game play. If any of those are shit or good, changing the name won't make them the opposite, unless it compromises the integrity. For example Bruce Willis's character in Die Hard would have been a lot less bad ass if he was called John Mcsucksdick.
If you wanted to argue that changing Dante's look into what it is now ruined the game for you, then yeah that's justified, if a bit shallow. However, the way you're saying it is if he was simply named something other than Dante you would have been fine with it. That's just fanboyism. If you meant something else, which I hope you did, then just ignore this.
