Devil May Cry 4 Review

Geekpulp writes "Many a Sony fanboy weeped bitter tears of sorrow when they discovered that Capcom's popular series, Devil May Cry, was making its way onto a Microsoft console for its fourth iteration. The rest of the gaming world realised that it was a move that will only benefit the series. By all accounts it runs pretty much identically on the PS3 and Xbox 360 (minus an install requirement), so now owners of either console can enjoy this "stylish action" game that is well known for its over the top combat and epic boss battles. It is a game about kicking a whole lot of ass with dudes that look like chicks."

"Dudes that look like chicks?"

Yeah all chicks I date have facial hair :\, what an idiot.

And the "chicks" in this game rival those found in most Itagaki games.

sock merchant5941d ago

Those dudes are pretty feminine. And if you hang around the elderly you may realise woman can have facial hair :)

"By all accounts it runs pretty much identically on the PS3 and Xbox 360 (minus an install requirement)"

love the spin, good job A22hole.

power of Green 5941d ago

You don't understand that?. It runs great with no Frame Rate issues etc.

So if the 360 beat the PS3 in loading by one second that means the 360 version runs better?. lol

pwnsause5941d ago

POG, its not that, its just that the Media likes to spin things.

sock merchant5941d ago

Dude I have played both version and they run almost identically. Frame rate issues are near non-existant. Xbox 360 loading times may be longer than ps3 yes, but when that is less than 10 seconds who gives a s##t. As for the install, it has to be noted because a whole lot of ps3 owners got pissed off because of it.

HowarthsNJ5941d ago

DMC has gone to PC before.

What they really don't like is the fact that Dante is not the hero of the series anymore.

He's the best of the best and cannot be beaten (according to the other games).

sock merchant5941d ago

It was with to the pepped up fanboys that signed a petition and vowed not to buy it.

darkshiz5941d ago

There's also a petition to save HD DVD and your point being is...

Astro5941d ago

this game resulted to be a massive dissapointment.

sock merchant5941d ago

Welcome to "in the minority" land

okcomputer5941d ago

Not for me it wasn't. I bought the game expected it to just be good, in the 8.0 range. I've been surprised by just how great dmc4 really is. Its the best game in the series so far and a solid 9.0 in my book.

hotshot1275941d ago

what does dmc4 being reviewed have to do with ps3 fanboys being angry it went to the 360? thats right...............NOTHING.

this is how you know reviewers just dont a review a game anymore, they review the console and then review the game next.

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
