OXM US Review Devil May Cry 4

OXM US writes:

"Sometimes it seems as if developers don't know what's fun and what's not. That's about the only conclusion that can be drawn from Devil May Cry 4, a game that hits some amazing highs and some absolutely criminal lows. It's as if the team behind the game lost the plot, mucking up pulse-pounding combat with some of the most tedious moments imaginable."

Personally, I would have given this title an 8. Nothing more, nothing less.

Kuest5949d ago

but ultimately one has to take into account DMC's hideous dialog; possibly the worst script in the history of entertainment (not including Soul Plane). To be honest, I really enjoyed the gameplay demo, but couldn't bring myself to complete it due to those annoying one liners.

"Well, I better get out before the calvary arrives".

No capcom, bad studio... Very bad.

BLUR1115949d ago

well i pre ordered it so i hope its good, im sure it is and 7.5 wtf... thats stupid.

Bnet3435949d ago

You're WTFing a 7.5 but you haven't played the game yet.

Bnet3435949d ago

I'd give it a 7.0. Guys, this game isn't that great. People dismiss a low score because of the name of the game. Seriously, this game gets old fast.

ceedubya95949d ago

7.5 is too low. An 8 would be about right. I mean, seriously, does he expect Capcom to really change the core gameplay that much? Change isn't always good. And if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think that Capcom didn't want to take any chances with this game, and really wanted to keep the core fanbase happy this time and not screw the game up like they did with DMC2

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.

Exvalos30d ago

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

Cacabunga30d 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.

Aaroncls7108d 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.

Sephiroushin107d ago (Edited 107d 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 Butt467d 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.

chrisx467d 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!

kevco33467d 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?

FallenAngel1984467d ago

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