DMC masters are all saying they hate the direction 5 is taking with this emphasis on accessibility at the expense of precision and challenge.

Why? It's not limiting.

Unless I'm mistaken there's no dedicated doge button.

So they still have full access to all the moves, can execute the same amount of depth in the combat, and can use abilities to the fullest...

But they're upset that other casual players have less frustration? I'm a little confused.

So the systems have less risk (and has this even been proven yet?). It doesn't take away from the wide variety of moves that are offered does it?

Though I could be mistaken. Did the devs say some systems/abilities were now removed in favor of others?
