It's only a week to go until we play Devil May Cry 4 at the Tokyo Game Show! But we don't have to wait that long for new details and screenshots for the game, as Capcom today updated its website with lots of DMC4 goodies.
With the release of the Devil May Cry series on Netflix, we take a moment to look back on this almost 20-year-old series and let you know the best of the best.
IMO
6. DMC2 6/10
5. DMC4 7.5/10 (Hated Nero, repeat bosses, Dante was the saving grace but only about half the game)
4. DmC 7.5/10 (solid overall, some great ideas, meh story, dialog sucked, and the director almost killed DMC)
3. DMC1 8.5/10 (all around solid)
2. DMC5 9/10 (carried by Dante & Nero gameplay, I didn’t like V’s, Nero’s better but still not a fan)
1. DCM3 10/10 (chef’s kiss)
Well, it worked.
This nothingburger of a opinion article got a lot of views and comments.
WHAT!? who in their right mind would put 2 near the top (not at the bottom) unironically?
I think all of them are worth playing in their own right honestly, except 2 unless you REALLY want to experience the whole series.
I honestly don't know what the author was smoking, personally I'd rank DMC3 as no.1, maybe DMC5 as second, DMC1 as third, DMC4 as fourth, and DMC as fifth and DMC2 last. such a bizarre list, mybe the author just has strange taste.
"Devil May Cry 2 isn’t trash. It’s just misunderstood by a fanbase that doesn’t like change."
This and putting DMC 2 number 2 is all I need to ignore this ranking. DMC2 is absolute trash and it's clear this person doesn't understand exactly why.
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."
Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.
Still a good game though.
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
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
2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.
God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best
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
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.
Two Devil May Cry games have been delisted on Steam. As shared on X, formerly Twitter, by Wario64, Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition and Devil May Cry 4 are no longer available to purchase.
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.
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.
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.
its kinda sad that dante is a bad guy. he is one of the most awsome players to grace any game ever.
Solid Snake
vamp (from metal gear)
Dante
Kratos
Max payne
add your favorites to the list...
add names of great characters of games but character should be one of kind very special. i.e. i think master chief should not be part of this list no matter how great Halo as a game may be
your choices should be based on the greatness of an individual character instead of the greatness of game. RE4, Halo...were all exceptional games but the lead charachters were not so great..
Well why should master chief not be part of this list? I actually do think it's very special in it's own kind.
-Master Chief
-Mario
-Zelda
-Kameo
-Sonic
-The troll from Golden Axe
-Marcus from Gears of War
CAPCOM IS TOTALY GETTIN SCREWY, 1 IS AFTER 3 , 3 IS BEFORE 1, 2 IS AFTER 4 , I MEAN WOW !, THEY R REALY DANCING AROUND WHY dANTE IS SO CRAPPY IN 2.
the pics look so good and they are in game footage aswell, follow the link to the new screen and u will see what i mean.
the best game characters are:
-dante
-solid snake
-kratos
-mario
-link
-prince of persia guy(cant remeber his name)
-tidus&cloud from final fantasy
-duke nuckem
and not max pane or master chief, they did not have a big personality, especially master chief.
When I went to my cousin's house in Miami. I only got to chapter 5 (or whatever chapter those two stupid headless fire and wind guys was at). This was the first DMC game I have ever played. Now it sounds like I started off right. So now, correct me if I'm wrong, but if I want to follow the story I would have to play DMC 1 next, then DMC 4, then DMC 2 ?! Why didn't they just make DMC 3 DMC 1, then DMC 4 DMC 2, DMC 4 DMC 3 and DMC 2 DMC 4 ?!
