Dean Rosen of PCGMedia writes " Is a distracting hairdo, a tenor voice actor and a massive stylistic overhaul enough to alienate fans of the original Devil May Cry series? According to some fans, the answer is, unequivocally, yes. The Devil May Cry franchise that began in 2001 is apparently dead. However, Devil May Cry isn’t the first iconic videogame brand to undergo such a distinct transformation."
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."
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
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.
People love DMC, they just hate Dante's new look. I agree with them. The game is pretty good though.
I know a few people who have actually PLAYED the new DMC, and love it. My brother and myself included were initially thrown off by not only Dante's look, but his brother's look, and several drastic changes. But it's a reboot/reimagining. Get past it. The game is good, and people should give it a chance.
i dont hate it, heck i wanted to give it a chance because im a fan of DMC, and i was one of the people that originally defended it, heck i gave the prince of persia 08 game a try and i loved it its one of my favorite games ever, but the reason most people and me hate the new DmC is 1-why reboot something when the story isnt finished, DMC 4 left a lot of things unanswered, unlike the sands of time trilogy which actually had an ending and everything tied up.
next there isnt really anything that resembles DMC in the game besides names, and everybody agrees that we all just want more of the original dante, he technically anly has 2 games and an anime to his name DMC 1 and 3, 2 was just terrible, and 4 got fun as soon as you unlocked him but it was very short, and a rushed product at that, and the reason i refuse to buy it and why ill get it used is because of the company, i downright refuse to give Ninja Theory my money after all the the crap they said about the fanbase,the original games, developers, dante, and the japanese game market overall, they dont deserve a dime.
I love the demo my only problem is that i don't like games whitout a replay value so i'll buy it when it gets a good price cut also i love ninja theory i have all their games and yes i think nslave was a great game
1) The original series ended mid story. As convoluted as it was.
2) The changes were made because of internal company politics. The lead dev getting fired. Fans of the series shouldn't be expected to be exploited because of that. If Capcom wanted to make a new IP similar to DMC, they should have made it. Re-using the name has just ended up hurting them and us.
