Staff Writer J. Hugo went and downloaded the demo of the next addition in the famous demon slayer's franchise. After playing through, see what he has to say on his first impressions of the game.
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.
thought it was great, but most "LETS HATE THE NEW DANTE" hate club will say otherwise.
Control scheme is almost the same??? What the hell are you talking about!? There is no target/aim button, dodging is done with shoulder buttons, launching enemies is done with circle button, stinger is with two tap forward with left stick and pressing triangle, pulling enemies is done with shoulder buttons. Everything is different! Except square as a shooting button and triangle as a slashing button. I am playing the demo myself and I have been playing DMC since year 2001. It looks like the media is getting paid to praise this game and convince gamers that it is the same old DMC with just a little different look.
Moreover, the game is damn easy! I first played on devil hunter could take all the beating in the world without dying. Then I started on nephilim but it still wasnt much different. I have to play nephilim a little more and I will try son of sparda later but my initial impression is that the game is too easy and the control scheme is weird. I can just keep on pulling combos infinitely and the enemies just cooperate with me. In original DMC (especially DMC3) enemies were relentless and brutal even on normal difficulty. I will play it some more and see how I feel about it in the end.
Right off the back i'm not digging the art/visual direction.
Dont like how the square button operates gun and the whip. guns feel lame now.
Dante is lame when he talks during the boss battle.
But overall it seems like it will be a good solid playthrough for $20-$30
I also thought Dante's mother is human. Where this angel stuff coming from?
I came here because I read "Demo DayZ" instead of "Demo Dayz"
=<
I gave it a chance, but it made me hate the game even more. This game just plain sucks.
If the demo is supposed to make me want to buy the game, it isn't doing a very good job.
Also the battle music just plain sucks.
No buy.
