Jedi Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) So some months ago I picked up the Devil May Cry HD collection, now I've heard rave things about the franchise for many many years and being a fan of the hack n slash/tough game play it was known for I obviously got curious finally. I played through them somewhat before the last weekend where I just finished all 3 in a huge marathon. I absolutely love the first 3 games, despite 2 being kinda weaker then the other 2 I still enjoyed it, (big blob boss rush and almost zero plot aside). I really like Dante as a character overall in the trilogy and I hope to expand with getting 4 sometime soon. I absolutely loved 3 the difficulty while brutal was satisfying to crush foes and bosses once you figured out how, and 1 gave me a very nostalgic retro Resident Evil feel yet had its own uniqueness that made it awesome. I need to play hard mode of all the games now (and the various Heaven and Hell and Dante Must Die modes too), and do Lucia's run of 2, as well as Vergil mode in 3. I also plan to watch the 12 episode anime that was made in 2007. I may look at the reboot but I NOW see why people dislike the characterization of stuff in those games so much (not to mention some of the most childish writing attempts to be edgy i've seen after I saw the Brainscratchcomms run). However I do hear the game play is solid. Anyone else have experience with the franchise? Edited May 26, 2015 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami922 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I've played all four games, (funnily enough, I played them in reverse chronological order, starting with 2, then 4, then 1 and 3 via the DMC collection). My personal favorite is 4, I recommend picking that one up (or getting the special edition next month if you have a PS4 or Xbox One).

Original Alear Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I really like 1 and 3. I probably prefer 1 a little more than than 3. 2 was pretty mediocre and forgettable, the one thing I like about the game is when Dante rides a motorbike through hell ir w.e happened at the end of his route. 4 is a damn fun game, and I love some of the cutscenes for the bosses. But I think I like 1 and 3 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami922 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Difficulty wise, I'd say it goes 3 > 1 > 4 > 2, which is interesting, since chronologically, the games go 3-1-4-2, so it's like the games get easier as Dante gets older. Maybe it was intentional? I played the demo of DmC, and it's.. ok. Not something I'd go out and buy (especially not after watching the Brainscratchcomms run).

You know I didn't notice that, maybe the reason DMC2 is so easy is that Dante is just invincible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 3 - Is the best 2 - is Eh 1 - Is there 4 - I haven't played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Dante being conflicted over his own identity due to being half-devil and half-human which held him back despite the awesome sauce he is until he realized why his father chose to defect and fight for humans and by doing so Dante was able to reach deep within himself to gain the power he had all along once he accepted himself for being what he is.... which the reboot just kind of ignored by going with the boner is stronger while being a half-angel for some reason route. Which is just great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice Sage Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ah, Dmc~ My fav list goes 3-1-4-2. I really enjoyed 3, 1, and 4. 2 was okay. The anime was also good~ iirc its before dmc4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 By the way, everyone go look at nightmare's about me in his profile. He has a great dmc img which some of you may have seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical CC Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 The third game is the best in the series. The fourth is not bad but I prefer Dante over the main protagonist. The second game is...well, everyone think it sucks. Btw, dont even try to get the fifth game...it's a.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wesker Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I've only played 4, but that's because my Walmart has next to nothing. Not even the Rebot, witch is a plus in it's own right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinehollow Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) As my sister,I have only played 4,but I would love to play 3.I've watched the cutscenes,and it's my favourite. I actually kinda like the reboot.Not all of it,just some different things here and there. EDIT:There's an anime,too,with Dante in his 1 design and kinda serious like his 2 personality.Watched all 12 episodes over 3 days,mainly because I was busy.

Solkia Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I recently played 4, and it's a really fun action game, the timed button press combat was interesting. I've also played the Reboot. I'm pretty sure long-term fans went in pre-determined to hate it, as the gameplay is fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceBrand Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 DMC1: Classic. DMC2: Meh DMC3: Pizza, Vergil, GOAT DMC4: Pretty decent, less Nero would be nice. REBOOT: Too edgy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ein Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 DMC4 needed more Nero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami922 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 DMC4 needed more Nero. DMC 4 needed playable Trish and Lady, although we are getting that in the special edition, along with Vergil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Sage Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I love that Gif. Can't wait for special edition DMC4. Playing as Vergil again is gonna be really fun~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm trying out Vergil in 3. He's certainly different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I only played 4 and thought it was a pretty good game. Nero fights well but imo dante, with his 7 weapons and 4 styles, just has too big an arsenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure long-term fans went in pre-determined to hate it, as the gameplay is fun. If it's about the gameplay then I could rather play Bayonetta, honestly. The only reason why I even bother with this series is Dante and the reboot's Dante sucks, so does the reboot's Vergil, so does everyone else, so does the whole story.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) With regards to DMC: Devil May Cry, I did in the beginning scold Dante's 'new' design after seeing the very first trailer (back in 2010 iirc...?). Since then, I actually did give the reboot second thoughts after playing the game I find that the plot aims to appeal 'western' audiences (i.e. the references of Bob Barbas). While I can openly admit that the reboot might not be the best entry as part of the series, I feel that its worth considering. Also: 3 = 1 > 4 >>>>> 2 for the main Devil May Cry series.
