It didn't make me cringe. In fact I didn't even think about evil corporations or bankers or good guy terrorists whatever. I just received it as a regular story with characters here and there and plot here and there and what not.As for the game, I know nothing about how it plays, but what I've heard of its mediocre high-school level 'satire' makes me think it'd stretch my levels of tolerance. I can take normal derp, but when it's derp that's trying to shove an irrelevant and unnuanced political message down my throat, it gets annoying. "GUYZ GUYZ OUR VILLAIN IS AN INVESTMENT BANKER, GET IT WEALTHY PEOPLE ARE BAD FUCK CONSUMERISM FUCK DA POLICE!"
The story is indeed very much so. Demon bankers. Evil media corporations. Demon newscasters. The 'good guys' presented as terrorists. The president of the US a powerless puppet in the hand of evil infernal conspirators behind the scenes. It will make you cringe.
Because I actually read stories in books and watch stories in movies, where such a plot happens regularly.
And because I'm not an edgy fuck.
Granted I've been skipping some cutscenes because the dialogue is boring.
Yeah and the style system is a really really really gay highlight. I mean it's a cool mechanic, but I don't like how it is designed to be THE measure of difficulty. Difficulty should be designed just like DS or NG - Hard meaning that you can easily die and that you run around at low health. Players SHOULD be forced to vary combos because of tough AI that punishes you for spamming one attack, not for some stupid style meter.One. of. the. main. highlights. of. the. gameplay. that. people. play. Devil. May. Cry. for. is. ruined.
Note I do understand not every game has to be the same and subjective preferences yadda yadda. Unfortunately there are barely any good HnS with good gameplay.. AND even less ported to the PC. So fuck you, Devil May Cry (incidentally, possibly not directed to the latest). Be a more NORMAL HnS so I don't have to run back to Blade of Darkness for my melee challenge.
