"Twilight" is not vulgar, it's true.
New story level, that might work - Ninja Theory are good at changing stories, Enslaved was based off some ancient story but I think they adapted that well.

The whole defence for your piece is that "People like it" though, I'm still in two minds. I'm wagering they'll whack on a skin pack at some point for like £10 which includes the original Dante, that's the Capcom way.

People will forget this game after a month or so its such an irrelevant Devil May Cry game for the fans in general from the way i see it.

PS All Stars Battle Royalle will be just a reminder for this game´s existence in a year or so.

TronEOL4617d ago

This is only true in the sense that it happens for all games. I "forgot" about the other DMCs after about a year. The only time I remember is when I see something DmC related. This game will be remembered for the same amount as any other game. And will be remembered longer by the DMC fanboys (not fans, there's a difference) since it apparently destroyed (made better irl) their lifeblood.

But to each their own. I'll (along with many other proper gamers) be playing a fantastic video game, regardless of the title, while those children sulk over hair styles and compare it to random pop culture.

Lord_Sloth4617d ago (Edited 4617d ago )

Yes because if we have an opinion about a change we're not proper gamers. We can only be true fans if we agree with you.

Seriously, shut up. Your arrogance is annoying.

Kratos_GodOfWar4617d ago

the gameplay is getting better hopefully this game can prove me wrong because I dislike the shit outta the new dante

Summons754617d ago

it hasn't up till now and it won't when it releases. Stop lying to yourself so you can feel justified playing this terrible terrible game.

Carl_Shocker4617d ago (Edited 4617d ago )

I know...nothing I've seen makes me think it will be a good DMC game. I mean it looks boring, dumbed down and slow paced...thats not a DMC game, not by a longshot.

I feel the only people defending it are the people who feel the need to get involved and defend something for the sake of it.

Lets not to mention the New Dante is an arsehole, F word there, F word here then flip someone off, it's horrible and nothing like Dante. The writting seems crap aswell which dosen't help the game one bit. NT are tyring to hard while insulting the old games to make theres seem better. I mean is that a developer you want to support.

I honestly have an funny feeling Capcom might pay off a few big reviewers or shower them with gifts to make them give it a good score after all the backlash over it...they can't risk this game getting crap sales.

ziggurcat4617d ago

how is it terrible? are you basing that ill-informed opinion on actual experience playing the game or are you just one of those butthurt DmC whiners that can't deal with a few changes in the character model?

Summons754617d ago

uh no it's more than just "the hair" but your probably a dumb troll who can't read a damn argument in the first place. I've watched the interviews and gameplay videos this is NOTHING like Devil May Cry. Slow dumbed down combat vs the old fast pace combat which needed skill to get a good score. the art design is horrible, Nina Theory can't write a good story to save their life, and yeah the character designs suck but what's worse is their personalities are not like the ones we fell in love with.

If your for this abomination of a game than I can not wait for your favorite franchise to get a reboot like this and I will watch you complain about it.

rezzah4617d ago

It will live up to itself as its own game (which doesn`t actually mean if it will be good or not), not as a original DMC game.

4 repetitive hits on a boss and you get SSS...I think the first one gave the player an A on the first one too.

DMC2 ranked 2nd and also DmC ranked 3rd?
What a load of BS!

ABizzel125d ago

IMO

6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)

Vits25d ago

Well, it worked.

This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.

Pyrofire9525d ago

WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.

FinalFantasyFanatic24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.

DMC2 anywhere but last is crazy. Awful list overall.

BlaqMagiq125d ago

"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."

This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.

Flenter25d ago

For me: 3,1,5,4,2 and then .....Dmc

fsfsxii25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Why is DmC last? Genuinely curious.

lellkay25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Dmc is far superior to DMC2 come on

generic-user-name25d ago

"almost 20-year-old series"

It's 24 years old.

Devil May Cry Games Sales Surge After Netflix Success

Sales of games in the Devil May Cry franchise have surged as a result of the new anime adaptation's success. DMC 4, DMC 5, and the DMC HD Collection have all reentered Steam's Global Top Sellers. Devil May Cry 5's player count jumped from around 2,000 concurrent players to just over 13,500 players in the span of a few days. Devil May Cry 4 and the Devil May Cry HD Collection have also seen similar sales boosts in the past week.

The success of the Devil May Cry anime adaptation—and to a lesser extent, the Onimusha TV series—serves as early proof the company's multimedia expansion strategy in action, showcasing how Capcom is leveraging its game IPs beyond consoles and into streaming platforms.

Lol, well... Better late than never, I suppose. It's a wonderful series. Devil May Cry V was truly something special (despite my small nitpick on the overuse of one particular level.) I still think it's probably the best action game ever made. Not sure if I'll check out the anime but I've been rocking with the games since the start of the series.

isarai30d ago

Deserved, DMC is peak hack and slash, and despite it's awareness, the sales numbers should be higher imo for what it does.

CrimsonWing6930d ago

I really was expecting to hate this show with Nero voicing Dante and all the changes they made, but cringe forced cussing aside, I really enjoyed the hell out of it.

Lexreborn230d ago

I am guilty as of yesterday lol I bought the HD collection on Playstation and the definitive edition of DmC for 20 bucks yesterday. Granted, I already own them on PC and Physically and just wanted a convenient spot because I was planning on doing a sit down at the TV playthrough with my son.

Then I realized I could just use my Asus rog(offline mode) and Steamdeck we play our own games at the same time. And I give him tips as we play through them. I will likely do DmC on the PS4 though because that doesn't play the best on steamdeck. Otherwise we would play in my office on my ps5 pro or gaming desktop. That is to cluttered though....

Anyways, I'm super excited to go home and play DMC1 with my son tonight!
