I'm not saying it's perfect or better than any of the numbered games, but it was still very enjoyable and in no way deserves the hate it gets from the hardcore fans.

It's cringe regardless if the others were as well. I didn't say it's MORE cringe.

Fair enough. I think where DMC 5 lost me when it comes to combat is how they switched from characters even mid chapter and it never allowed you to really get into the groove with one character. Also kept introducing new weapons on Dante.

@Repjaws Not once in DMC5 do they change your character mid mission at all.

Combat system is terrible. I was hoping for Ninja Gaiden like combo system and was given the simplified, only need to push one button butchered version.

Guess they decided to implement it to keep the pacing up with the story. More of an interactive anime then a game. But at least it wasn't quick time events.

The only boss people ever refer to that they liked in DmC is the Raptor Fox news guy...whos mechanics were a worse version of Trickster from DMC3.

Really there was the demon hunter in the first level and the news boss in raptor towers which is more inventive than any boss from dmc 5. Story is personal preference but Dmc was the first devil may cry game that had a story worth a damn imo. Dmc also has way better level design and traversal than Dmc 5. I know the hardcore DMC 5 fanboys are going to downvote because they love to act like Dmc is so horrible and killed their puppy but there’s a reason Itsuno really likes Dmc and why 5 took quite a bit of things from Dmc

According to the VA for Dante. Itsuno was ready to quit Capcom if they made DmC2 over letting him make his own game with DMC5. Says it all really.

Considering 1-4 stories were horrible what’s so hard to understand about people preferring Dmc story.

@Dark_Knightmare2
Ugh, didn’t want to say this but you’re trolling.........Dmc story is basically DMC3s and DMC1’s story together, but worse. So how can’t a fan of DmcNinjatheory can’t be a fan of 1-4?

Are you saying I couldn't get into any of the earlier games hence why I'm critical of the newer one? Out of some sort of frustration because I couldn't get into them? Or that I'm an obvious troll. I don't know what kind of rock you live under but people have different opinions. I see Devil May Cry 5 getting flawless reviews and people are loving it. That's great. They may have found something to like in the game that didn't pertain to my interests when I look at a game, fair enough. If I can admit that without putting them in two negative camps I'm sure you can be civil enough to not throw everything I said out a window and call me an obvious troll or saying I tried playing the previous games and couldn't get into them. I have played Dmc 3,4,5 and DmC.

Here’s one, they made dante a sex crazed asshole. He wasn’t like that in any of the games. Not even young dante was like that. The way they had dante is like if you made crash bandicoot intelligent.

Are you for real asking this dumbass question

@factual evidence lol are you serious Dante never acted sex crazed in the game unless you’re talking about the opening montage where he’s in nightclub for all of like 10 seconds

one thing about vergil in Dmc
was that he was kind of useless
he did nothing for most of the story then u
had to save him during last mundus fight
then all of a sudden he became the final fight
from a story stand point were we really suppose to
believe he can stand toe to toe with dante
when in the story he needed dante to pretty much
do everything for him

Lol 4 is nowhere near as good as Dmc except it’s combat which is better. Man the hate hardcore DMC fanboys have for this game borders on obsessive it’s truly sad

DMC3 got 84 on PS2. Thank God DMC5 took obvious inspiration from DmC. The franchise was just pure cringe until now.

4 was not a good game. Sure combat could be fun but people essentially paid $60 for game with a nonsensical story and back tracking halfway through.

Lol that’s absurd. You must be a real charmer.
