GamesRadar - January, February and March of 2013 will respectively bring us DmC, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and God of War: Acension. It's going to be a damnably busy period for fans of the cinematic killing of multiple adversaries via brutal melee-based methods. But which way to go? Demonic, cybernetic, or aspringly deific?
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."
You might not be able to believe this, but Dark Souls is a pretty tricky game on the PlayStation 3.
MGR:R
I never got into GoW much, and DmC is taking hints from it in gameplay destroying DMC's charm with noob friendly rolls of 30ft and attacks that hit 20ft arcs around you... GoW and DMC used to be very different styles of games. Now NT is just making HS 2.0.
I really can't wait for Metal Gear Rising, and God of War, DmC is eh don't really care to much about it. DmC should have been a new IP seeing it seems inspired by Heavenly Sword and Devil May Cry, and I do love both of them, but DmC just doesnt look interesting, combat looks alright, but characters and the overall look of the game is easily passable for me (thats why the newewst trailers for the game seem more attractive because it just showcasess set pieces, gameplay, combat and has music playing, as opposed to the earlier trailers which show the character personalities and dialouge which is easily unappealing). On the other hand I love Metal Gear and I love Platinum so Rising is a win win for me, and the reason the graphics may not be as high as DmC and GoW is because Platinum I believe had less time to develop the game and they're running at 60 fps which really compensates for slightly lower graphics when done right (like Devil May Cry 4). God of War looks amazing to me and being a fan of all the previous ones this one seems to be significantly better, where first off there is the multiplayer, then the story seems to have great potential, and the combat has seen some significant upgrades in terms of flow, new moves and new combo possiblities, as well as being able to pick up fallen enemy weapons and other laying around weapons / items as well and other small details they have implemented into the mix to make it all the more interesting, I just hope there are a little more puzzles and interesting new ones.
Rising nr1 for me :) cant say that I dont wait for others though
this isn't even a competition. MGR is the obvious winner. GoW is good but too easy. DmC is big piece of garbage that should be burned in a bonfire. screw that game, crapcom and ninja theory
