GS:I still remember the first time I ever played the original 2001 Devil May Cry. I mean, it was all just so cool. The style, the brutality, the never-ending combos, the white hair. But as years passed, that white sheen dulled to a time-worn gray, and the series' wildly stylish hacking and slashing fell into a deep, dark rut. Maybe it was because I got older. Maybe Capcom just ran out of ways to top its own over-the-top-ness. (Most likely some combination of the two.) The bottom line? Devil May Cry needed to change. And now, with the switch to developer Ninja Theory, it has -- mostly for the better.
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.
As you may know, I've been pretty vocal about my feelings for DmC.
So you'll be surprised to hear that I have the full game now and am enjoying it so far.
Combat is a little choppy (probably due to the game being set at 30fps) and it could do with a lock on function, however it has good depth and is very enjoyable overall, platforming can be frustrating but that's been the case since the franchise started, also the dialogue is poor at times and juvenile at worst but I found myself genuinely laughing at Dantes antics and colourful brand of humour.
As reboots go it could be a lot worse, the graphics are great considering the game engine and the set pieces like the world transforming when you enter Limbo are very well done, also Limbo itself cab be a sight to behold. I have even found the new Dante growing on me at times.
I'll refrain from giving my final verdict however untill after I finish DmC.
Much respect for putting bad feeling's aside and giving it a shot. Good on you, hope you end up enjoying it once you beat it.
