8/10 is not bad. I was expecting at least a 9 but 8 will do fine. Either way, I will be picking this up when it launches.

n_n5970d ago

i don't generally go by review scores but it's nice to know what they think about it. challenging is good.

Bonsai12145970d ago (Edited 5970d ago )

not as hard as dmc3? weak... though i'll probably still pick it up along the way. the difficulty was something that kept me coming back to dmc3. i loved how hard it was. challenge is a good thing. they should put a sticker on hard games saying "wussies not apply"

Milkman5415970d ago

Weather that is what you want or not, that turns casual gamers away, and there are far more of those then there are hardcore gamers...

PimpHandStrong5970d ago

i played one of these games. I cant remember if it was part 1 or part 2 but all i know i wasnt blown away by this metro sexaul gun slinger...

not a game im waiting for but like The darkness i will buy it used for under 30bucks

DemiseofPandas5970d ago

You can always expect a less than perfect score for a game like this, because it's not for everyone. It is for hard core action fans, and if the only thing they can complain about in the review is difficulty, then fans of the genre should know its right up their alley. There's no way to expect 9s or 10s for games that aren't for everyone, but this is sure to be a 9-10 in my book.

Milkman5415970d ago

I'd have to disagree, just look at God of War...those game scores have been amazing and it's almost the seem type of game...

shotputking5970d ago

they are in the same general genre, but not at all the same game... the entire point of god of war is to make a game that says, "hey newcomers! look, with three taps of a button, you can rip someone in half! look at the blood and how good you are at this game!"

DemiseofPandas5970d ago

God of War is in the same genre, but is practically in its own subset. One of the reasons it is so popular is because it is accessible, and isn't so hard that it will push casual gamers away. Games like Devil May Cry and Ninja Gaiden, are the evolution of the beat em up, games that used to be very unforgiving and challenging. They are the games to satisfy those with an appetite for challenge. Not everyone wants to play such a challenging game, and it is frustrating instead of fun for them, therefore it is not for everyone.

sweet my friend is gonna love it, just 2 more months! this fella probably got frustrated DMC is much harder than GOW

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

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."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC31d ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Exvalos31d ago

What a weird name, it's essentially devil may cry, devil may cry lol

Cacabunga31d ago

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

Friendlygamer31d ago

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

monkey60231d ago (Edited 31d ago )

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya31d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde31d ago

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

SeTTriP31d ago

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.

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.

Aaroncls7109d ago

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.

Sephiroushin108d ago (Edited 108d ago )

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 - 15 Years of Nero

Devil May Cry 4 launched 15 years ago today, bringing with it new character Nero. Has it stood the test of time?

Knushwood Butt468d ago

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.

chrisx468d ago

In DMC 5, it's 4 times you encounter the same bosses if you count the Vergil dlc lol

Knushwood Butt467d ago

Yeah, I'm only up to chapter 19 so the total count can only go up!

kevco33468d ago

No troll, I always preferred DMC.

No haters, please.

Knushwood Butt467d ago

I'm actually with you there, but DMC has that terrible writing. Alex Garland isn't it?

FallenAngel1984468d ago

Nero will always stand the rest of time against Donte and Viola
