Gameguru.in write-"FINAL WORD:The entire game feels like playing a souped up version of the original Devil May Cry and its third iteration, which is not necessarily a bad thing but it isn't a good thing either.The series is bound to fall if proper steps are not taken to introduce a fresh batch of creativity to the series. This is the best action game that has been released during this year and should keep people trigger-happy for quite some time.
Better than: Devil May Cry 3
Worse than: God of War 2"
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.
Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?
Never liked it and I think I got it day 1.
Cheap Capcom design of half a game that you have to walk through twice.
5 isn't much different in that department. Encounter the same boss three times with three different characters? Endless warehouses or alien-like tunnels that all look the same.
I'm actually with you there, but DMC has that terrible writing. Alex Garland isn't it?
wow looks like we are getting algebra lessons
WTF!! Thats utter bullcrap.
DMC4 is way worse then DMC3. It lacks wide variety of weapons, moves, enviorments, bosses, story and dante.
DMC4 is one of the worse dmc it gives dmc2 some food for thought (buts its not that sh!tty). Nero, 50%+ Recycled Enviroment, 100% Recycled bosses, Lacks of Moves and weapons, No variety in DT makes this game sh!t.
I regret buying collectors edition.
i didn't buy this game... though i did play and liked DMC3. q:
better luck next time, capcom.
Although i have just completed DMC3 and im now on DMC4, i have to say for a fact that DMC4 has really impressed me. Before buying the game three days ago, i looked at a couple of reviews that depicted the game as a disappointment. But to my greatest surprise, a hands-on test myself really made me think twice about what the reviewers had said.
First off, its obvious capcom know their graphics. This game looks amazing on my HD-TV and it impressed me as much as Uncharted: Drakes Fortune Did. The story-line is something i like as-well because they use each opportunity they can to shed light on what is happening. i Know alot of people dont like Nero as the main character, but i think its alright, and he gets the job done. He doest have a variety of weapons like our traditional dante, but he does have the ability to upgrade his skills and perform new moves.
I seriously prefer the control in dmc4 to dmc3 because they feel more fluid, responsive and accurate.
Capcom are very lucky they put effort into the PS3 version of the game because a bad port would have made alot of ps3 owners confirm thier worst fears, that capcom is being paid alot to show preference for the xbox360 side of the fence. but since they did a fantastic job, it shows there might still be hope...
All in all, im very very impressed with this game, and prefer it slightly to dmc3. im only on mission 9, so i havent gone very far. But so far DMC4 = very good.
I haven't even rent it yet. Maybe after I finish all others; but then GTA4 will be out...
