Ninja Theory has bowed out for the week with a series of air-clearing tweets, thanking both fans and the more restrained breed of critic for their input.
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.
They should , the whole "war" made the whole marketing of a game that otherwise would barely get noticed :p .
Everything is not lost however , sales will speaks volumes in the end
I believe DmC will do fairly good, like 3.5 or 5 Million Copies sold, Ninja Theory did a really good job
I'm loving the outpour of great reviews & loving the fact the haters can't TAKE IT!!! It's good to know my money was well spent!!
Good on them for making a game that is getting praise across the boards. Now lets see if they can finally catch a break and see some high sales numbers. (Even though I personally don't think they deserve it)
I bought the game based on the strength of demo which was phenomenal.
This game will have high marks but if it doesn't sell, just jot this down as yet another casualty of the gaming industry but know that we are slowly sinking this ship.
You don't give great games, no sells.
These games are extremely expensive to make and if all these supposed gamers are doing is bitching and not buying this will be a massive loss for Capcom.
Playing COD over and over does not mean you are gamer.
Gamers play ALL kinds of different games, regularly.
If this fails in terms of sales. In the month of January with no competition in sight. This will be yet ANOTHER game that is added to the list of highly rated, low bought games. Darksiders 2, Max Payne 3 and now Far Cry 3.
