Angry Joe takes on Ninja Theory's reboot of the iconic Devil May Cry franchise, declaring it a great 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.
I love the effort this guy puts into his reviews.
lol nice review
Yep 7/10 great game. I knew hardcore fanboys were BS.
It was a good review. I gotta tell ya, I'm even a fan of Ninja Theory's past two games, but something about the story and characters in this one still rubbed me the wrong way. I pretty much hated Dante all the way through the game.
Not to say that I "liked" Dante in the past games either (I never really thought the one-liners were all that funny or clever, to be honest), but at least he didn't set off my douche-o-meter every time he opened his mouth.
I had absolutely no problem with NT going in a different direction with Dante, but I do think they went in the complete WRONG direction.
Add in some really ham-fisted social commentary and a very romanticized portrayal of an "anonymous-style" organization and you've got a pretentious, self-important narrative sprinkled with annoying characters. I was very surprised after enjoying the story and characters so much from their previous games.
i wish this guy reviewed PS3 games as well. I like his way to review he's so objective and he has a great gaming background.
