Devil May Cry 5 surpasses 10 million sales as Netflix animated series drives major surge in franchise popularity.
It's been six years since Capcom dropped Devil May Cry 5, but it's still more than worth replaying in 2025 thanks to its rich gameplay.
Because the anime is on Netflix and we gotta ride that DMC in the news again wave.
It’s been sitting in my backlog for a while now. One of the first games I wanted to try for this current gen due to the long load times of previous gen. I’ll get around to it soon!
One of the best, stylish, and fun action slasher on the system. You definitely should get to it, as soon as you can.
The DMC5 team went on to make Dragons Dogma 2, the DMC director (3,4,5) left capcom to make an action game at another studio and the rumor is that a DMC remake is next...so i wouldn't hold my breath on DMC6.
Everytime its on sale I think about buying it but never do. I only played the orginal and somr of 3 so I guess that's part of it.
Steam's Summer Sale looks primed for Steam Deck players - with a huge collection of titles on offer for the handheld.
Joke reviews all around. The only reason this game is getting high reviews is because these so called "journalists" are trying to get back at legitimate haters and to boost a western developer's cred over the original japanese developers of Devil May Cry. This game is not a Devil May Cry game.
I'm glad to see that there are some people around here that are giving this game a chance. I never played any DMC game but i know that Ninja Theory never disappointed me yet so I'm sure I will like this game too. I can fully understand that some people want the hardcore gamplay mechanics the older DMC games seem to have and the new one lacks but you have to understand that this is a reboot so it's obviously going to be different from the original.
and here we go with the retarded scoring again. =/
Haven't seen any one come along with their arbitrary complaints since this game has been receiving good scores? Goes to show what a mob mentality can lend to game that they haven't played and haven't given a chance to.
I think Jim Sterling's review said it best:
"There is an argument to be made that, when judged alongside the rest of the series, DmC is a bad Devil May Cry game. The suggestion may be debatable, but there's a potential case to be made. It's more streamlined, it's not as challenging, and ultimately it has stripped away what a significant portion of the fanbase love most of the series. However, even if one sides with the argument that this is a bad Devil May Cry game, that does not preclude it from being deemed a terrific videogame on its own merits, and in my estimation, that's exactly what DmC: Devil May Cry is."
I'm perfectly fine with it playing well, and playing like a DmC game, and being praised for that, just so long as Ninja Theory take on board that the twilight vibes from the game and the super-seriousness need to go. I mean that shit's just completely lame. Cringingly lame.
A thought just occured to me, I wonder if Capcom will have Ninja Theory develop an Onimusha reboot? That could be cool... Then again I think I'd rather have a Japanese developer make what is essentially a Japanese game.
