IGN - DMC: In Defense of Emo Dante

IGN - When DMC first debuted, it hit the internet like the least popular kid showing up at prom. Misunderstood. Underappreciated. Single. In the comment thread of the debut trailer, IGN reader DaveJ41 wrote: "what the F*CK is this BULLSH*T." Bugman offered a similar sentiment: "character looks like a douche." Dante's new appearance -- coupled with a new development studio -- caused an uproar in the Devil May Cry community.

I like how Emo Dante is practically his official name now lol.

WeskerChildReborned4611d ago

Well you got awesome, bada** Dante then you got mehhh Dante.

HarryMasonHerpderp4611d ago (Edited 4611d ago )

I don't get this emo thing.
He looked emo before lol
Look "emo's" with the exact same hair.

I think this is a really dumb article to be honest.

andron4611d ago

Yeah I agree. He's more punk than emo. Emos wouldn't wear that much color or be so agressive...

Awesome_Gamer4611d ago

I agree.
On Topic: Emo Dante = No Buy

Here we go with the defense articles

I wouldn't actually be surprized if Capcom tried to buy big game reviewers off. I mean it is Capcom were talking about

PooEgg4611d ago (Edited 4611d ago )

Well this is IGN, they are not video game reporters/reviewers, they are more like game company groupies. I never take anything they say seriously anymore.

Sgt_Slaughter4611d ago

...Are you sure you looked at the right game when you said this?!?

SavageFlamingo4611d ago

I've played this game. So I'm pretty sure.

Sgt_Slaughter4611d ago

Really... so you've played a game that has yet to be released?!? Fascinating. Tell me, how does the game start out?

Pozzle4612d ago (Edited 4612d ago )

If you feel the need to defend something in a game, then that generally isn't a good sign.

SavageFlamingo4611d ago

Say, someone was insulting something you made or something you like. Wouldn't you defend it? There are actually people who are excited about this.

MWH4611d ago

argue about it maybe but writing articles no, it then becomes too personel and consuming.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

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."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC321d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos320d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga320d ago

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

Friendlygamer321d ago

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

monkey602321d ago (Edited 321d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya321d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde321d ago

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

SeTTriP320d ago

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.
