Devil May Cry bores me...

Jokes aside, who cares if the writing is bad? It's DMC, it's not exactly known for it's great writing anyway.

because it's embarrassing, and its honestly a step below the writing in DMC3. hell, it's worse than the writing in DMC4; and this is made worse by the difference in tone between the titles and the fact that the general discussion surrounding the title is that it'll have a "better story" thanks to Ninja Theory and that it'll, in some way, be "better" and "cooler", and not just in a gameplay-sense

simply put DmC is trying to take itself more seriously, and its doing so at a considerable expense - really, suggesting that this is the Lords of Shadow of Devil May Cry isn't entirely inaccurate.

Story aside, the gameplay looks hella fluid and pretty fun to play, I really wouldn't go that far.
EDIT: Please excuse my use of hella. Love it.
