My hype for this game is still as high as ever. As a DMC fan, this is pretty much the closest I'll ever get to a true DMC sequel for a long time coming, what with it now featuring three DMC characters(and the best of the series' characters, imo) and having the 'sandbox' combos of DMC in general. Honestly, I could just play this game in training mode messing around with combos and the various characters and team synergies for hours on end. It's just too fun.
If they were to add Gene as DLC, it would be pretty much the best game ever for me.
