DMC Devil May Cry - A Look Back at the Most Grating Game I Have Ever Played

A look back at the controversial DMC

Vandamme212302d ago

I love the game...the combat system was freaking awesome...the only thing I didn’t like about it...was Vergil personality.

slasaru012302d ago

I also loved the game, finished like three or four times (X360 + Xbox One + X)

MoshA2302d ago

Thank God it had higher ratings than DMC 2-4. They were utter garbage compared to Bayonetta and God of War.

Amplitude2302d ago (Edited 2302d ago )

imagine being this dude thinking dmc3 was utter garbage lmao

such a good ps2 game

-Foxtrot2302d ago

Meh. We have a real DMC sequel now and it's fantastic

We should let this one go

Godmars2902302d ago

Still, have to wonder what its defenders have to say now that there is a true DMC sequel out. Can they at last see what everyone else was complaining about?

AK912302d ago

Agreed I hope we can all pretend that DmC never existed, I do that on a regular basis.

CobraKai2302d ago

I just saw that “Dante” and remembered how he ruined that game.

AK912302d ago

@CobraKai you mean Donte?

XxSPIDEYxX2302d ago

Game was great from the combat, to the boss battles. Would've been very well received if it wasn't called Devil May Cry.

gangsta_red2302d ago

Gameplay and level design was fantastic, the story was cool, just the story content was juvenile

Godmars2902302d ago

Gameplay was juvenile compared to the best DMC titles at the time, and the key issue against the game was that Ninja Theory couldn't stop declaring that they'd exceed the best DMC titles at the time.

DmC: Devil May Cry - So Good They Named it Twice

DmC: Devil May Cry launched 10 years ago to critical acclaim, but caused a significant stir amongst fans of the series.

SDuck889d ago

all in all, it was the 2nd most replayed by me (first being dmc5)

Godmars290889d ago

Named it twice cause they lacked imagination.

ApocalypseShadow889d ago

No matter how many times they try to push this game, I'll never play it.

But the PR keeps pushing it and pushing it when other DMC games are better and sold better.

TheLigX888d ago

Lol that’s absurd. You must be a real charmer.

Sgt_Slaughter889d ago (Edited 889d ago )

Ah we're at that point in time where failed games end up being needlessly defended and pushed as "underrated" or "gems"

There's a reason this caused Capcom to go back to the traditional DMC franchise.

DMC V became the top selling game in the series by a longshot. Even the team was more eager to make a new DMC game rather than try and continue the DmC reboot/spin-off and listened to fan input for V.

CBaoth889d ago (Edited 889d ago )

cue the puff pieces for Ninja Theory. Like what we saw happen with Deathloop and Tokyo, the MS marketing team is starting the hype machine early. So we see the revisionist history with their past games. Suddenly it's the best in the series lol. They've never made a bad game, they've just never made a successful one. Now, right or wrong because of the timing, their new game has the extra pressure of being the face of GP in 2022 alongside Starfield and Redfall. A lot of pressure for a studio that made its last game with 30 people. Let's hope 4th time's the charm

Looking Back to 2015 and DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition

Daniel writes: "DmC on Xbox One may have disappointed many, but it also provided an entry point to a previously impenetrable series for newcomers."

It sold poorly it’s why we have DMC5 instead of DmC 2 and from what I’ve been seeing of that Anarchy Reigns clone from Team Ninja I think it was for the better.
