Dante's return in Devil May Cry 5 is the real deal - hands-on - VG247

Dante has always been a charmer, but there’s something especially cool about how the seasoned hero appears in Devil May Cry 5.

Micro transaction mess! I’ll have to wait for a sale or get it used. Whenever these things pop up in games they usually end up killing the pacing and overall the game suffers.

[jeremyj2913]

Have you ever played a DMC game?

[cooperdnizzle]

Nope never! The 4th one is the only one with this bull crap. Have you every played a DMC game?

[jeremyj2913]

I've played them all. They are all made to be played multiple times. If someone doesn't want to do that and wants everything on the first go round, then it's an option for them. But the majority of the people waiting for this game know what they are getting into and enjoy playing the game over and over. Most people won't even pay attention to the MTs. They are there for the people that suck without Auto Mode active.

[lellkay]

Scrap the MT's Capcom!

[DarkVoyager]

Will not purchase until the scrap the Microtransactions!

[Silly gameAr]

Is that Trish in the tumbnail? 😕😨

[WitcheRivia]

Trish looks like she got hit in the face with a sack of hammers.

[Casepb]

She looks like an old hippy lady who smoked way too much hash oil.

[ameliabaz]

She looks like Sherri Moon Zombie mid-way through any Rob Zombie film. haha

[Bhuahahaha]

havent seen the trailer/gameplay yet .is lady there? i want to see her

[Adnanilyas21]

she is

[Bhuahahaha]

i she ty gonna look for it later @ home. my mobile connection is kinda meh

[Freeball]

Don't hold your breath on Capcom scrapping MTs. This is the same company who invented "DLC" - Disc Locked Content. They had the nerve to preload content on disc and STILL charge you money to get to it. I dont buy games from capcom.

[ILive]

I really want this game but at the same time the micro transactions just rubs me the wrong way. Because we've seen time and time again that if you make a good game people will buy it. They just need to stop and focus on making the best game possible. But I can't blame them either if people keep paying for these micro transactions.

[gangsta_red]

Trish is in the game too!? Day one buy for me!

[Jay767]

People going miss out on a good game just because optional Micro transaction. I don't agree with the micro transactions but I'm still going buying the game im just not going support the micro transaction. I got sf5 and tekken 7 and both of them games got a lot of micro transactions I just don't support the micro transactions.

[CarlDechance]

If the game is good then I'll buy it. I'm like you though. I'm not going to get hung up on optional transactions. And if I somehow decided that I wanted to buy something in-game.....I'm still trying to figure out why that matters to anyone else.

[jeremyj2913]

Seriously tho. They keep pulling things out of thin air like "it'll be more grindy" or "now it's pay to win". DMC has always been grindy. You never have been able to unlock everything in one play through. And now game that isn't competitive can be accused of pay to win anyway.

[onisama]

Did i miss something .. What with the microtransaction ? Is it added to dmc 5 i thought i didnt miss any gaming info this week

[jeremyj2913]

They put in the option to buy orbs just like in DMC4:SE.

[onisama]

That not too bad as long as it doesnt affect the gameplay progress

[DarXyde]

Will reserve judgment. If it's like DMC4SE microtransactions, it'll be pretty innocuous.

Won't use them at all, so it's a nonissue.

[jeremyj2913]

They are the exact same. Well..... except the proud orbs. They gone.

[DarXyde]

I should elaborate:

As long as it's not a mad grind (e.g., Street Fighter V) and it is a completely harmless, standard experience to acquire currency, I cannot complain.

I realize my opinion on the matter is highly unpopular because "microtransactions" seems to carry a buzzword stigma not unlike "AR-15", but I truly do believe people are jumping way ahead of the curve on how bad they will be.

I have no idea if Capcom will do right by consumers or completely screw up. But neither does anyone else making wild speculations, and that's my point. Wait and see, folks.

Either I will get to say "I told ya so" (and I won't, even if I can) or they will.

Game looks brilliant and solid. I'm hoping Capcom doesn't let early positive reception get to their heads, but we'll see. Here is hoping they do right by us.

[jeremyj2913]

If you played DMC4:SE then you kno that there won't be a "mad grind" to get orbs. This is set up the same way as that. Look at the results from the demo play throughs at Gamescom. People that sucked still got a high amout of orbs.

[DarXyde]

1. I did in fact play DMC4SE. I own it.

2. You are assuming that is representative of the final build. It's not uncommon for developers to drop the difficulty or maximize rewards during floor demonstrations to help visitors to the kiosk progress smoothly.

Like I said, I'm reserving judgment. Speaking about it in such a matter-of-fact manner when you know as much as everyone else is a bit preemptive.

As I often say, we'll see.

[jeremyj2913]

Not an assumption. The producer tweeted and said that it is the same system that they used for DMC4:SE. You could be right about the demo not being representative of the final product but it isn't helping anyone progress in the demo itself. Orbs are used before missions and the demo only consist of one and all the possible menus where orbs would be spent are closed off in the demo.
