If I were you, I’d temper my expectations about a rental service from Sony through PlayStation devices.
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.
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
Vanillaware's tactical role-playing game Unicorn Overlord is a beautiful mix of old mechanics and new-age graphics, with over 65 unique recruitable characters and a rich storyline.
If you’re hyped for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, then you can play the first entry of the RPG series on PS4 and PS5 now for a very low price.
I would love a model like Netflix, one flat fee a month and you can play whatever they have in their library. Sure it won't be the newest games out there, but at least you can catch up on the stuff you missed over the months.
I can't read the article but why? Options are always good, some will find it appealing, others won't, but it isn't forced, which is great.
expectations / conclusions
Companies make money
Companies want to make money
Games like games
Gamers want to buy/rent games
Cost is relative
Cant please everyone all the time - when there are more details then an opinion can be formed until then, play games.
If done properly then I believe it to be a good addition.
"A publisher can’t really impress investors with rental numbers, that’s why it would prefer you purchase the game. Without solid sales numbers it might lose incentive to create sequels or games of that type, which could be dangerous for the industry."
seriously?
investors give a F about sale number, as long as the company make a profit, just look at how many copy tomb raider reboost sold
Hey guys I know this may sound crazy but I got an idea how about we wait and see how it will work before we all go ape sh*t??No?
*Crowd boooooooooooo start throwing tomatoes*
