Where I come from, mixing a ton of flavors all together has a name, a graveyard. This 4 th entry into the series seems to take all of these disparate flavors to their fullest extend. Also enjoy their, what appears to Western eyes, as wacky culture, which loves to mish-mash opposing style and appropriate ideals from other cultures, while still holding to some of their more conservative and traditional values.ĭevil May Cry is a perfect example of this, as the game presents itself as an essentially action-packed, rock-opera styled, anime-influenced game with dialogue that is weird blend of Japanese and American youth ideals. I’ve always had an affinity for Japanese culture, starting with the discovery of anime at an early age, moving through the works of Kurosawa and various 70’s Yakuza films and on to my appreciation of a number of their art styles including the ink wash painting known as sumi-e. So if these casually announced, blasphemous details don’t somehow “disqualify” me from sharing my opinion… then please continue to my look at Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition on the PS4 with a new set of eyes. I played a little of the second game, none of the 3 or 4 and enjoyed a partial playthrough of the new DMC. The distinctly Japanese, over-the-top styling drew me to the game, yet all that I can remember, aside from the main character of course, was that it was weird, somewhat clunky and very high on the difficulty scale. I’m not a big aficionado of the Devil May Cry series. Platforms: PC/Steam, PS4, Xbox One | Developer/Publisher: Capcom | ESRB: M | Controls: Mouse/Keyboard, Controller
