Ross Lincoln writes: Most games, regardless of genre, strive simply to be challenging enough to stay interesting, but only just so. Then there are games that say “Screw fun. You’re going to have to work for my love.” Games whose developers pride themselves on having made a frustrating, horrendously difficult time suck that only the most dedicated gamer dares confront. Sure, they might leave half of their customers screaming profanities at the TV screen and the other half in therapy for the next decade, but for every guy who still complains about head and hand trauma, there’s another who still brags about having made it to the bitter end and then went back for more.
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.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Deadly Premonition is a pretty weird game, but all of these absolute oddities are even weirder.
Try playing Magna Carta II without a guide. You'd never beat the ending without out a guide or gamefaq.
The 2nd Castlevania was one of the hardest games I ever played. That and (certain levels of) Battletoads for the NES.
Great call with Ninja Gaiden. That remains #1 for me
Catherine on the list?! I beat that game under 12 hours and its fun as shit.
In elementary school a lot of us beat Oregon Trail; but Number/Fraction Munchers was another story...
I'm surprised Alunda for PS1 didn't make the list; same with the original Mario Lost levels
fail list.....as long as i dont see shinobi on PS2 on that list, it fails!
