I get the context for that picture but I have no idea what each panel is supposed to represent past the second one.

As others have said, GameStop will let you preorder until the last day before release (I should know, I've worked for them). Also, all preorders codes will usually cover anyone that has preordered, regardless of when they did it.
But I can go pick up my game during my lunch hour, since it's like 15 min from my office in Downtown San Francisco.
9 bucks apparently.

All this talk about preordering confused the shit out of me because I already received the game... Now I just put 2 and 2 together and realize that Future Shop broke the street date. Whoops! lmao. Not complaining 
The game is awesome and Nephilim is definitely the only starting difficulty acceptable for everyone who is enough of a gamer to be reading this message right now.

Mundus and Lilith's pics are shopped on the couple's faces. It's pretty obvious to figure out.
9 dollars.

There's nothing wrong with him having an opinion, it's just that the brand has a bit of legacy and a lot of controversy and it seems irresponsible to publish a review without doing the research. It's something that's going to make people very angry for this particular game.
As much as I am against the idea of this game, and what amounts to the likely discontinuation of the DMC storyline, the revisionist history about the franchise itself is what troubles me the most. I'd argue that DMC1, 3, and parts of 4 handled the storytelling aspects respectably, and the cutscenes were outrageous to match the pace of the gameplay, as was Dante's characterization, most of which were actually well-recieved irc. 4's main problem was that it was an undeveloped story that got another story inserted between the 3rd and 4th acts.
Also, DmC isn't projected to sell that much better than DMC4, and is roughly getting the same review scores, yet somehow there's the narrative that DMC4 was so bad that the franchise had to be rebooted, like it was on the same level as Spiderman 3. I think Capcom rebooting it and presenting "gamers hate almost everything about DMC" as the mission statement made a lot of people assume that DMC4 was poorly received and a commercial flop, when it wasn't really much of either. A ton of DMC fans were disappointed, sure, but I think a lot of them (myself included) would still consider it one of their favorite games this gen.
I think it's perfectly fair for a review site to judge this against other games on the market and not to the possibility of DMC5 like many "haters" are, but I think not comparing it with the previous entries in the franchise is a bit extreme.

The reviews probably helped quite a bit. I think some people weren't expecting the review scores to be this high.

Virgil looks like someone who frequents Pickup Artist blogs.
Just polished off the boss from the demo. The previous mission was the only one to give me any trouble, and even then only the two Tyrants at the very end. They killed me four times : ( Is there a trick to them? I know you can demon pull them while they're stunned after hitting a wall during a charge, but they seem to pop the pull prompt icon at other times. I'm guessing it just appears whenever you get behind them, but they turn pretty quick. Plus all that caustic Slurm on the floor made getting around the room something of a pain...
Also, it's like... Not at all possible to get all items on the first playthrough of a level, right? I'm just telling myself that because I'm missing soooo many lost souls and secret missions, despite tearing the levels apart...

For those interested, it looks like the Noisia (read: the electronic/ambient/WUBWUB half of the soundtrack) DmC album is 4 bucks right now on Amazon MP3... if you buy the special edition. For some reason, the regular version is nine bucks.
I dunno, i'm kinda ok with his current style more than his first reveal.

Ugh, the lack of lock on is killing this game for me.
Double tapping with the Dualshock analog is fucking stupid, and the reason I switched from pad to stick in fighting games (so I could dash better).
Mission 4 and I'm already running into mobs that are immune to 3/4ths of my movelist, I don't like where this game is going.

That's a prevalent problem I had with the game. Time to pull out insert weapon here to deal with insert monster here. It doesn't get any better

I am not sure if we fully understand this part of the game yet, but I have a suspicion.
When some say that there is input lag regarding angel/demon weapon switches and Rebellion, but I think it is not input lag.
It seems that certain Angel/Demon attacks (or maybe all of them) have a property that makes your next hit automatically follow as Angel/Demon attack, even if you stop holding the corresponding triggers. This timeframe seems to be way more obvious when doing air attacks with these weapons, and that is where I noticed it when I simply wanted a helmbreaker finish.
Now, there might be a very easy trick to overcome this property - it is either Dodge or a single shot from a firearm. Or even enemy step, obviously. Or if you have jumps left, a jump cancel. What is important is to learn where you need to do this additional action to clear it up so you can continue the combo with a different weapon.

Going by the trophy list, not that difficult. Will take a while though.
90% of the people in the first 10 pages of this thread.
Going in circles here, but again, not true. Practically everyone expected this game to review well.
First I heard of that as well. Shame he doesn't look that badass in the game. :lol
Many aspects of Vergil in DmC irritate me.
He very rarely ever showcases 'awesome', if at all
