Gameplayer has gone live with their review of the hotly anticipated Devil May Cry 4. Despite the hype around the game, they summarize that the gameplay simply isn't up to this generation's standard.
"DMC was undoubtedly a great slab of action when it first came out in 2001, but now the formula just feels a little dated and unrefined."
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."
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

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
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.
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.
Exactly what I've been saying all along... Ho and hum, folks.
they suggested the AU RRP to be 10.95 and they said "jap" ;o
Dude, I would give the demo a higher score then 7. I play it alot.
So what were they suppose to do with the series? Turn it into an FPS? It's a hack and slash action game... it's pretty hard to change anything other than give the game new moves, better visuals and more story. They fixed many things that bugged me in the gameplay from the last game - based on the demos - plus the devil bringer and emotional conflicts are new to the series... not to mention the 60 FPS gameplay.
I don't think they're being fair... you shouldn't judge a game compared to previous games; rate it how that single game is. If the gameplay is fun say it then it's fun don't true and slice it up because it is similar to previous installments.
It also doesn't seem like the reviewer has never played a puzzle game as he complains about the strategic thinking the series seems to offer. That and Poor camera angles he seems to be having a hard time to handle is understandable and retracing steps is annoying are really the only things he says are bad but that is about the entire review. I just don't think he is giving many positive points and mainly focusing on the negatives.
im not gonna lie ever since this game went multi plat ehhhhhh lost interest
