GR: "'The devil is in the details.'
"That's what fans of the original Devil May Cry games thought when they first heard of Ninja Theory's reboot or reimagination or redo or whatever you want to call it. 'Heyyy! His hair isn't white! You're ruining it! WHINE!!'
"God... bitch, bitch, bitch. Is that all you ever do? Why don't you skip the chatter and try the game for yourself? You might find something you like. If you're still doubting DmC: Devil May Cry's ability to capture what you loved about the original games, maybe you better read on before you get your panties in a twist."
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.
Great game with super fun combat.
NInja Theory really knocked it out of the park with this one.
I'm hoping to have time for DmC in the next few weeks.
I'm waiting for the inevitable "Pay $15 to turn his hair white" DLC...
You know...opening with such negativity and hate isn't a great way to start a professional review. :/
I will vote down every review that thinks the only issue has always been the hair and any site that berates those with legitimate concerns by clumping everyone together.
Given that most of the reviews have all started the same way, and given the EXACT same score (either 9/9.5 out of 10 or 4/4.5 out of 10), there is something definitely up with these reviewers. Either they are mentally retarded and think this game actually deserves a near perfect score despite having all the issues Ninja Gaiden 3 had, they are purposely padding the numbers to piss people off, or something else.
The reviews of this game have appeared to have had the same basic script as though someone sent out to every possible game site they could think of, what they should say in their review. Granted, that's not likely, but that's how it looks.
So, gamerevolution, you've been down voted.
