"Capcom incurred some genuine, and genuinely-over the top, wrath when they announced plans to "reboot" the Devil May Cry series with a younger, hipper, cooler Dante. And boy, was the internet hacked off when the Japanese giant revealed his new face and immediately made everyone think of a fourth Jonas brother who'd gone off to be in a goth band."
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.
Too justin beiberish for me.
I think you'll find most people are still worried
I just can't believe one well put together trailer can put out peoples worries...after EVERYTHING Ninja Thoery has shown us since it was first announced which has been crap and now all of a sudden some people do a 180 and do the whole "give it a chance speech".
Way to stick to your guns against greedy Capcom and the arrogant bunch at Ninja Thoery who, since this awful reboot was first announced, have done nothing but call the old DMC fanbase (you guys), the creator, the old games and even old Dante himself.
Seriously no wonder Capcom never learns it's lesson and keeps of runing their franchises.
I honestly hope this does crap in sales so they get a wake up call and we might just get DMC5 to tie up the loose ends that never got a resolved ending.
A 30fps Devil May Cry game...that's worrying
I actually think this could end up being a great game. PS that guy with the mask in the beggining made me think of Anonymous.
