DmC: Devil May Cry is just a few days from hitting the shelves. Illgaming managed to get their hands on a final build of the game and they're pumped.
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.
Best to good for me: 3, reboot, 1, 5
2 and 4 are trash, didnt like any of them.
5 has very good gameplay variety but i hated the foes.. it is just insects the whole time. Reboot has the best foes for me
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
2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.
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
This right here is my order as I thought DMC 5 was amazing and obviously 3 comes after 4 was great and 1 for the nastilgic value it holds 2 was so terrible that my local GameStop gave full refunds to people who returned it.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Devil May Cry 5, the latest iteration in the iconic DMC franchise by Capcom, still holds its own as a fantastic hack-and-slash in 2024."
NVIDIA continues to add games to GeForce NOW. This week, Devil May Cry 5, Gears Tactics, and The Crew Motorfest lead the charge.
Even though this game is getting good ratings, most dmc fans aren't "pumped" for this game. If platinum games made this, I would buy it. I'm just soured on ninja theory. Most of us dmc fans have made up our minds and these articles won't change that.
The only reason to be excited for this game is to use it as an example of what bad game design is, what poor and inexcusable choices the developers did, and what poor choices capcom made by continuing to support it despite everything ninja theory was doing and saying. I can understand the choice to reboot a franchise but when the devs you choose insult fans, the series creator, Japanese developers in general and keep doing everything to make the game an series look bad then capcom should have stepped in and smacked them in the back of the head tools it right or found a different developer that can make good games and also has experience in the genre.
As all the leaks and the demo go to show, the game is horribly designed with bad writing to boot and horrible bugs NT has already claimed dont exist in the demo and are preset in the final game.
Well I'm not looking forward to DmC and that will never change.
I can't like DmC as much as I can't make others dislike it, it's a matter of conflicting opinion and needs to be left at that.
I watched the streams the game is about 7 hours long and 2hours out of those if not a bit more is all cut-scenes. It's like they they couldn't decide whether they wanted to make a movie or a game,because there's cut-scenes at every corner even in mid battles.
That photo makes me so sad, and I am not even a fan of the original Devil May Cry. What I mean by "not a fan" is that although they are quality titles, they just weren't my cup of tea.
But every time I see that photo I, somehow, understand how some people are feeling about this DmC thingamajig.
Also if I see ONE more person repeatedly spell Dante "DONTE" I'm going to lose it.(jk)
