Original-Gamer.com: "Back in the 80’s, playing games only cost a quarter for every five to ten minutes of gameplay. In the late 80’s & 90’s, retail game sales took over the industry as people would rather purchase a console than play at some arcade in public. Other than the digital revolution for downloadable sales, nothing has changed for game sales other than the fact that more games come out on a weekly basis than anytime previously. What if you can change the way people pay for games?"
The friendly folks over at Razer recently sent us their full size Kishi Ultra mobile gaming controller, and this thing didn't disappoint.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...
5, 3, 1, 4, 2.
I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.
But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
The Epic Games Store continues to dish out free games and you can add two more to your library this week.
This buy online concept will only continue to grow. It helps kill used games and gamers pay a little less initially. Next gen it will be paramount.
To be honest this way of doing things could become messy. Developers basically stripping their games to pieces and selling them in bits and on top of that theres DLC.
I'll abandon gaming altogether if purchasing games online becomes the preferred method of distribution. Steam has got it right, pricing structure is amazing.
Digital downloads on consoles are a joke, way over priced and no competition meaning prices will never shift like they do on the high sreet.
I think this model makes a great companion to brick and mortar stores.. However digital sales will not lead to the extinction of physical game sales.. There's just something magical about going to a midnight release, chatting with fellow gamers, feeling the tension build, getting home and ripping open your copy, the smell of a new disc, the sound of the disc loading into the system and the elation when that start screen appears.. Granted there are alot of people that prefer digital but its not a strong enough segment to do away with brick and mortar..
I'm in favour of this, I usually just play the single player of games.
