Have to admit I haven't played most of these.

TuxedoMoon3840d ago

The only game I've played on that list was DMC:dmc and that game was over-hyped imo. I wanted to play Deathsmiles, but it's only on 360, a console I refuse to buy due to the whole RROD and having to pay for online. I don't buy faulty systems.

Other than those and maybe The Darkness, those games simply don't appeal to me at all. Are they bad games? Doubt it, but those are games I'd never buy. Correction, I'll PLAY (try) any game, but I won't BUY just any game.

sdozzo3840d ago

Had to take that jab with RROD. And I'm a Sony guy, but I wouldn't even bring that knife to a gun fight.

TuxedoMoon3840d ago

I'm talking about when the 360 just came out, before the redesign slim version. I don't have that much money and seeing my friend's 360s die out made me not want it. I'm not going to pay $300+ for a system that has a high chance of dying.

Then there's having to pay for XBL. I'm cheap, so that's a huge NOPE! The games too didn't appeal to me either, aside from from Lost Odyssey? I like Japanese games and there weren't a lot of those on the 360.

Weighing the games too, the PS3 and Wii had more game's I wanted. Valkyria Chronicles, Metal Gear 4, FF 13VS and potential KH3, Mario Galaxy, and Smash bros Brawl all won me over to those systems. The PS3 also not being region locked really opened the import gates for me.

I did also spend a chunk on PC too. Mainly F2P MMOs and the few steam PC games I could find for cheap.

i really liked The Darkness, awesome concept imo. same with Clide (Clive?) Barkers Jerico and Time Shift, all three were underrated imo. pure was ok, still liked atv offroad fury and motorstorm a lot more.

would have Really loved to see a 4x4 Evo 3 this gen. if nintendo secures it as an exclusive again, i sware im buying a WiiU!

@tuxedo again: if you dont have a PSP still, thats the best platform for JRPGs imo, Its still very relevant if youre into handheld, and cheap now. the DS too. im still yet to get a 3DS, it has a lot of cool games.

Hicken3840d ago

Yeah, we had a nice collector's edition of DeathSmiles at my GameStop for a while. I contemplated getting it, but.. you know, Microsoft.

As something of a Witchblade fan, I wanted to play The Darkness games... just never did.

DmC... sorry, but no. It deviated too far from the DMC formula for me.

Bullet Witch is another 360 game I've wanted to get my hands on. Eventually, I guess. Eventually.

The rest either didn't interest me, or I never heard of them.

PoSTedUP3840d ago

david jaffe-"life of a pixel". haha thats my bro, keeping it old school!

urwifeminder3840d ago

Yep Battlestations was a innovative title never played anything like it one of the best games I have ever played both are great.

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.

VersusDMC26d 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.

Exvalos25d ago

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

Cacabunga25d 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

Friendlygamer26d 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

monkey60226d ago (Edited 26d 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_Suzumiya26d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde26d 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

SeTTriP26d 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.
