PSPSPS.tv says: "Mutterings around the web have been hugely critical of the mandatory installs that have been appearing with certain PS3 games, particularly one major recent release by the name of Devil May Cry 4."
With the release of the Devil May Cry series on Netflix, we take a moment to look back on this almost 20-year-old series and let you know the best of the best.
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)
Well, it worked.
This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
Two Devil May Cry games have been delisted on Steam. As shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Wario64, Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition and Devil May Cry 4 are no longer available to purchase.
Bless the adorably all digital future! When it comes to PC games its not as big of an issue because there should always be another way to access single player games, but still, I hate to see anything get delisted.
Well, DMC4 special edition has a lot of issues to run from Steam.
I have to get a modded executable to even be able to run the game on Windows 10.
Not sure if it is because the game runs in DirectX10 or what, but it sucks they have not even tried to fix it.
DMC4 Special Edition is not delisted, it was just the standard version, it has nothing to do with issues of performance or anything alike. Its just that Capcom probably do not want to sell the standard version, neither the standalone DMC3 version.
why UNCHARTED doesn`t have a INSTALL?
and it has ONE load time for the entire game.
because on every "technological level" UNCHARTED out does DMC4.
My Uncharted had No screen tearing.. But the comment about 360 owners and them saying thier version is better.. Ok so they have no load times.. I would rather wait 20 min for one game.. then have to wait weeks because the 360 gets the RROD and or have to go buy a new one.. 20 min install or weeks and the annoying cunstomer service at MS.. I understand that this does not happen to everyone, but it happens to ALOT of people.. Out of 5 of my friends with XBox 3 of them got RROD and 2 of the 3 got sick of waiting for MS and sadly thy bought another 360.. So to me 20 min of install on a reliable system is just fine for me.. out of my 15 friends with ps3.. All with different models 20, 40, 60, and 80.. None of them have had one problem.. Hmm wierd.. or not
Hey, does anyone remember FarCry for the Xbox... Remember the 5 minute intro video that couldn't be skipped because the game was pre-cashing data to the system.
How long before that has to happen again? (Aside from Obilvion on the 360)
My only beef with installs is that Heavenly Sword is 2.5 GB roughly and DMC4 is 5GB. The installs could be smaller. Other games only require anywhere from 200-600mb.
Basically to have a slim back-up for the PS3, you have to uninstall games prior to doing the back-up.
Having to wait 20 minutes to play the game because the machine is inferior. Terrific, Ps3 is like so amazing! Enjoy your downloading while I'm already 20 minutes into the game.
You just have to buy it off the internet....
A internal 250 gig drive is all you need for now of the PS3....only 1 major game has a 5GB install...and that is devil may cry...
other awesome games have no major harddrive install or load times..Ratchet and Clank, Uncharted...all of these games are using streaming textures for the HD or Bluray or both...
Devil May cry is probably using streaming textures too...but I am not sure they are..
