Discussing how the DmC demo proved the fears of long time Devil May Cry fans to be correct.
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
Former Hellblade director and Ninja Theory co-founder has offered an explanation regarding his departure from the now Microsoft-owned studio.
It is a good studio.. i really enjoyed their dmc game that i platinumed it.
I did not try hellblade, because it doesnt tell me much.. Enslaved was very mehhh
Heavenly Sword was good not great. Amazing graphics back in the day but so repetitive and not so engaging in the long run.
"Microsoft" we all read between the lines. We have seen the exact same thing happen with many of their other acquisitions
One thing that pleasantly surprised me, was the Switch port, as back then it was my only console. The graphics were amazing and the artistic design helped a lot to enhance the visuals.I took some really impressive screen shots while playing which I still revisit them from time to time to remind me what a capable developer (QLOC) can achieve with weaker hardware.
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."
Obviously...the game looks terrible for a dmc game and even looking at it as a new game it's broken and bland.
The guy said at NT that he isn't going to fix the game so why buy it when it's broken.
I think the only reason this game would dissapoint me is if people actually buy this game. The apologizers will be the only ones that will be heard and the real fans will be ignored. I like how you say this game is a complete bastardization of the DMC series, and thanks for showing those videos backing up your points, the one with the meter made me cry a little, I havent tried the demo but I have a feeling I can easily get an SSS on my first try.
DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.
Capcom clearly needs a slap in their face. They need to listen to their fans to succeed. I played the DmC demo multiple times, and every time Dante opened his mouth it reminded me of Jake from RE6. THAT IS VERY BAD.
The demo was great. DMC fans can suck it.
Dante's hair sucks and there's no lock on. God damn I hate everything about this series' fans. If this was DMC5 I would understand some of the criticism, especially regarding the art direction, but I guess this series' moronic fanbase can't seem to grasp this is a reboot. I guess the new Tomb Raider blows because Lara's tits aren't as big as they used to be. Seriously, DMC fans can suck it.
I won't JUDGE DmC until I've finished playing it!...loved the demo!
