Each Devil May Cry game has a different take on Dante, but Devil May Cry 3 has the best Dante, and these are some of the reasons why.
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.
It's game time!, or is it hacking and slashing time? Doesn't matter! Enjoy the best hack and slash games on the Xbox 360
Ninja Gaiden 2 was never multiplat. NG Sigma 2 is a remixed game not the same game at all
Dante's inferno... such a great GoW inspired game. So sad the sequel was canned, it sounded like it was going to be even more epic than the first.
Yeap, classic GoW is still better mechanically. But the aesthetics and atmosphere of Dante's Inferno were just top-notch. Shame it never got a PC port, but at the very least is available on modern Xbox.
I just can’t get into the devil may cry series. In my opinion you never feel powerful in those games. The guns are pointless as they only serve to be a flashy part of a combo. DMC was the only one that I could tolerate long enough to beat.
GameRant Writes "Taking inspiration from the Resident Evil remakes, Capcom should consider remaking Dante's first adventure in Devil May Cry 3 using the RE Engine."
Why so it can get bashed, trashed, and have an abundance of articles complaining about it being a remake when it launched on PS2, was remastered for PS360Switch, and released in an HD collection for PS4/XBO, and now they want to remake it for PS5/Series when they could be spending that time on making a new game.
Enough of Remakes please .... instead would prefer Dino Crisis and Onimusha Reboots.
I'd like to see what the RE Engine could do with Dino Crisis if Capcom went that route with the engine and the game. Personally I would want a Dino Crisis remake myself love the franchise. I would be tempted to see an Onimusha remake as well.
Ok I know there's alot of classics we'd like to see remade with today's tech but where do we draw the line? Because at this rate we about to buy every game we grew up with do we really need this? Aren't some games best in their original form? Isn't that makes us nostalgic for them? Do we really need remakes of psi-ops, rygar, Samson, the suffering, timesplitters etc? I dunno man I feel this is getting out of hand. I'd much rather move forward with new IP. Something about this just bothers me now. At first it was cool but now it's getting annoying.
Great foundation, sure. I really liked who he became by Devil May Cry V: still a bit cocky, but he's very aware of the stakes and shows some genuine humanity when it comes to Vergil—out of both sense of duty and sense of family.
If anything, it was his relationship to Vergil in Devil May Cry 3 that made him a great Dante.
Dmc 1 had the best Dante. Perfect mix of serious and wild.
I think DMCV's Dante is the best. Like DarXyde said he's just as cocky as he was in DMC3, but he was self aware and shows concern towards his crew, Nero and his brother.
