Demo is slowwwwwww and I don't remember DMC4SE being turbo as default unless it just was... Also the camera is entirely too close.

Promising though.

I don’t think of MGR as misrepresenting itself though, you get lots of high speed action, and Raiden can recover from his parries app quickly.

MGR is also way more focused on Spectacle Boss Fights and those bosses are the reason I’ve beaten the game like 15 times across 3 systems. With the exception of the Vergil and Angel fights in 3/4/5, none of the bosses in DMC are anywhere near as impressive or interesting, and a big part of that is how important parrying is. DMC is built so that Dante can just never get hit with anything, Raiden is built to deflect.

It’s a different kind of badass.

MGR rules pretty dang hard, yeah. I remember when I found out that you can parry pretty much anything in the game (like Ray at the start) and I was blown away. There's never any reason to be afraid of anything other than your own timing with the parry. Stand your ground and reap the benefits of being the ultimate cyborg badass.

How's the Switch ports of 1 and 2?

Even if the port of 2 was amazing would you even be able to tell?

but DMC1 just didn't feel very good at all.

Even if the first game is better (which I'm not really sure I can say)

Uh, 2 is absolute rear end in every single way.

The only inarguably positive thing that DMC2 did was have a pretty bitchin' soundtrack.


The 2 good things it had were the soundtrack and Dante's outfit.

Metal Gear Rising was a better Devil May Cry game than that thing imh(a)o

Metal Gear Rising is the best Metal Gear game and it's not even close. It's probably my second most played DMC game :v:

The timeline is 3 1 2 4 5 now.

I thought it was 3 1 4 2 as per the title of the graphic art book Devil May Cry: 3142 Graphic Arts that came out in 2013/15? It was supposedly named that way as it was in chronological order.

AccountingNightmare posted:

You're right, it actually was 3 1 4 2 originally! But in the marketing for DMC5, they retconned the timeline and swapped 2 and 4 around. It seems kinda silly but I can think of a couple reasons for it. One is that it simplifies things a lot (the games are in numerical order now except for 3, which is a prequel). The other reason is that they were hyping up DMC5 as a direct sequel to DMC4, and 2 kinda just got in the way.

This is the promotional video for the new timeline!

Ah, gotcha.

Also I'd forgotten about that video which just straight up goes "yeah and then 2 exists but anyway, onto 4..." Beautiful. :lol:

Forgive me if this has already turned up in the thread, it made me chuckle and just proves that DMC fans are the best kind of weird.

Does Dante's Dr Faust trick still work for stacking cash? I recall there was at least one mission it could be used to farm red orbs.

an online only PvP character action brawler with 10-15 characters as well designed and fully kitted as the DMC cast would be such an insane game to try and play, but would probably end up being incredibly fun to watch.

Dante
Bayonetta
Virgil
Trish
Lady
Nero
Jeane
Raiden
uh... uh...
2B
Uh... Kratos?


Online PvP like the unfairly forgotten about Platinum game Anarchy Reigns. That was actually a lot of fun with friends and the fight system in it was decent enough to allow you a level of leniency when it came to getting smashed. Not quite sure how you'd do a DMC game justice considering the depth of the system and some of the dumb poo poo you can do with combos.

I'm glad to see some love for Anarchy Reigns in here :yaycloud:

It had some cool characters that deserve to be seen outside of this one fairly unloved game.

How can you not love The Blacker Baron with his Ghostface Killer eagle gloves that light on fire?

I bought the Vergil DLC but am yet to play it however last week I listened to Bury the Light like 5 times in an hour because it whips.

I'll add that this kind of emo metal is very much not my vibe too.

Love too make a cartoon series of a game noted for having beautifully fluid animation and then skip all the frames leaving it looking like poo poo in motion.
