Ninja Theory’s first crack at the Devil May Cry series is a huge sucess in DmC: Devil May Cry, out this week.
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.
i rather take the blue pill so my reality is this game was never made
Capcom is spreading the love (money) with all the review sites lately.
Wow you guy's really want this game to fail...
Is that how it is now?
You guy's don't deserve the innovative efforts of AAA developers. No! you deserve more & moar Call of Duty, more & moar Madden!
I can just imagine that reaponse.
[What!! This can not be! Thy new Devil May Cry hath attained a most favored response. Come my fellow companions! We must reveal the falsehood therein unseen.]
Or something like that. lol
You know I keep getting people telling me to keep my negative opinions of DmC to myself and not post negative comments on DmC or troll the articles articles, Iv not once trolled any article I just give my opinion and simply because it's negative people assume its hateful trolling.
This is a comment forum where we discuss video games both the negative and positive aspects, part of this is having conflicting opinions and being able to debate the pros and cons, DmC is unique in the fact it was very Japanese stylisticly but has been altered and westernised, now that in and of itself is no negative.
I can't say if the game is bad as a whole, but I can say I disliked the demo and that stands for something at least, Im not a blind hater I attempted to give DmC a chance numerous times but the more news that got around about the changes just led to me being put off more.
The lack of any negative reviews regarding DmC concerns me, not because I don't want the game to do well but as someone who is able to criticise it and has complaints regarding the game, I feel that any reviewer should be highlighting the negatives or at least giving a more well rounded review so we are all more informed on any of its short comings, maybe the full game is good and deserving of its scores I don't know yet and neither does anyone who is using reviews as confirmation of its quality.
People are going to like DmC and others are going to dislike it, whatever side of the fence you are on it doesn't mean we cant get along.
