The DMC demo has finally been released. Know what this means? It's time to find out whether Dante is still the same old mass murderer we know and... love
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.
I didn't like the demo at all actually. I hate the new presentation of the game, it's really twisted and demented, which is fine, it's just not my style. I'm sure it will cater to others though. It feels like an acid trip, and I don't particularly like that style.
DMC is awesome, like the new direction, the action felt great and the acting was top notch. Can't wait!
From what I could tell the plot seems to be what an emo kid member of anonymous experiences before waking up warm and sticky.
What the demo says about DmC? That all the fans who have been arguing since the first gameplay trailer were right and Ninja Theory has no idea how to make a game or care about anyone but themselves. Change in character models is one thing if this is suppose to be before the earliest in the timeline, however NT did a horrible job and they all look ugly. The gameplay was a train wreck. On top of being slow and clunky (complete oposite of the real Devil May Cry) it was also unresponsive 90% of the time and very repetitive, the ironic part is even with the unresponsive controls you could still get a triple S on the hardest difficulty. This is nothing like Devil May Cry and even if they do change the name the bad controls make it a bad game. Capcom made a poor choice giving a beloved franchise to a developer who has a handful of mediocre, poor selling games. NT is even worse for insulting fans and the creator of the franchise.
I didn't like the new style. I'm not a huge DMC fan so I couldn't care less that it is a re-boot. I just didn't like the whole eyeball's on the wall sort of crap and the crazy whip to move buildings etc. The whole art direction rubs me the wrong way.
