You can disagree with him but his not bashing any system right now..

INehalemEXI5948d ago

Its a great game, I pre-order and im in the US.

gamesR4fun5948d ago

ya expect this title to move a few machines 2

mikeslemonade5948d ago

You think if PS3 was already selling well and more than 360 then look at DMC4 is going to do. It's going to sell way more increasing that gap.

jackdoe5948d ago

They don't love DMC on the level of FF. The only other game they love that much, or maybe even more, is DQ. Nothing can match those monsters.

eLiNeS5948d ago

true, a few Xbox 360 machines.

sonarus5948d ago

yea dmc 4 should provide a significant boost to ps3's in Japan. Interestingly enough it will more than likely give 360 a boost too especially considering its being bundled. I however had high hopes for dmc 4 but after playing the demo on ps3 i gotta say i am gonna skip the title. The combat just feels too slow paced and repetitive for my tastes. Then again was never a big fan of dmc only played dmc2 which was apparently the worst so i didnt like that thought i would try 4 but from the looks of it i'm gonna skip it as well. Means no new games for a long while probably the next game i will be getting will be rock band then i gotta start saving for new logitech wheel to take on gran turismo. A lot of money but only 2 games lol

Kleptic5948d ago (Edited 5948d ago )

or...

its like when a Final Fantasy game drops...anywhere...FFXIII will likely top the lists in every major territory at release...

has there been a game to do that yet this generation?...Did SMG get that title?...just wondering, can't remember...MGS4 is most likely the next game with any remote chance of doing it, as well as Brawl I guess (although that is a far less impacting Nintendo game...if SMG didn't manage, I doubt Brawl will)...

and I mean overall sales...not just for that particular platform...there is a logistical mess with this though because it mostly depends on a simulaneous world-wide release...for MGS4 to do it, it will have to stay at the top of Japanese charts for at least 2 weeks...if the rumored world-wide release of "within two weeks" is anything to do by...not to mention GTAIV's release having a major impact on that everywhere but Japan...

The idea of sepperating fanboys into another forum section is fantastic on paper but, doesn't always work out in practice.

ravinash5947d ago

We'll keep trying.
Once they have been smacked across the hands a few times, they'll start to learn.

SeanScythe5948d ago

Yes but this section is for mature talking no fighting. As long as he doesn't do anything to bash or trash systems or gamers then he's free to post here.

BubblesDAVERAGE5948d ago

Calling it mature to not like other systems is not the best word to describe anything...I realize the value in all systems but isnt okay to have a favorite

Kleptic5948d ago (Edited 5948d ago )

that is what I never understood about this ridiculous "fanboy" war...

why is it not "ok" to have a system of preference?...most people that own multiple systems still have 1 that gets most of their playing time...

it used to be...if you only own one system (because that is the only one with the majority of games you want to play) you had no credibility...now its...if you own all systems you have credibility only if you decide to not have a favorite...

imo its kind of like saying "make sure and not have a favorite NFL team, because all teams have great players...If you pick one team to side with, you are immediately deemed immature and your opinion is moot"...

as far as the aspect of 'fanboyism' where users just spout absolutely wrong information with intentions of starting arguments...then I agree with that...keep them out...but just because you have a system of choice, doesn't mean everything you say is absolutely biased...

I'll start...I own a PS3, yet nothing else, and Lair absolutely sucked balls..see?...no bias...

mighty_douche5948d ago

Not really surprised, the Japanese like many others love their DMC.

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.

VersusDMC22d 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.

Exvalos22d ago

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

Cacabunga22d 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

Friendlygamer22d 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

monkey60222d ago (Edited 22d 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_Suzumiya22d ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde22d 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

SeTTriP22d 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.

Aaroncls7100d 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.

Sephiroushin99d ago (Edited 99d 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 Butt459d 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.

chrisx459d ago

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

Knushwood Butt458d ago

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

kevco33459d ago

No troll, I always preferred DMC.

No haters, please.

Knushwood Butt458d ago

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

FallenAngel1984459d ago

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