Now that the dust has settled, looking back at it now was the game really that bad?
Yes.
Yes.
Que? No hablo ingles
Nah, original was like a 6-7/10, the next gen version is like an 8/10
it was just fun shitting on it
It was an affront to everything DMC was about.
Yes, it's that fucking bad. Stop asking.
>>319713646
I pirated the PC version and played it for about 5 hours. The worst thing about it was the gameplay. For me the gameplay was so boring that the embarrassing car-crash of a story was the most entertaining aspect of the game. I got it for free again in the recent Capcom Humble Bundle and I doubt I will ever even install it.

That's it
Yes.
>>319713646
Yes.
>>319714089
I was actually disappointed by that, too. And it seemed somewhat believable too, as every boss fight in the game but Vergil was a giant monster.
>>319714013
>>319714089
>Vorgilsaurus
The only joy this game brought us was fake leaks before its release.
And the spanish video.
Combat was fine, it was missing the lock on button but that was fixed in the definitive version. Variety in enemies were fine too. the only bad things about the game are the story and its too easy to get SSS rankings
Overall i would rate the definitive version 8/10
>>319713646
It was so bad Capcom released an apology edition
>>319713646
...Is that a fucking line in the game? Why would brothers say that to each other?
>>319713646
Yes.
And the truly sad part is that the game is one of the best attempts by the West to make a character action game. In fact it might be the best one.
>>319714481
Fuck you
>>319714481
Even worse that they're brothers who haven't seen eachother in over a decade, and that one of them doesn't even remember the other outside of one flashback.Friendly reminder that this Dante and Vergil are canonically TWENTY EIGHT YEARS OLD
Yes.
But like any Bethesda game its tolerable if you dont pay for it and install some mods to make it not shit.
>shakespearean
DMC is "the room" of video games, its really only relevant when mocking just how godawful it is whether its the cringe writing, insultingly easy gameplay (never forget SSS ranking in 1 hit) or its downright hilarious bugs that made ubisoft games look polished, unfortunately the latter was the most fun parts of the game until they patched it out.
>>319714846
Wait what the fuck they were that old? I thought donte was like 19-21 years old or some shit from the way he acts and looks. Christ.
>>319713646
It's bad in how MGSV is bad in that it was a huge disappointment from what could have been an amazing game. DmC is one of the better "beat it once and never touch it again" action games mostly because of all the elements it keeps in common from other DMC games but most of the original ideas and changes from NT are bad. The only good things I can name are the backgrounds and Vergil teleport controls.
>>319715445
>Wait what the fuck they were that old? I thought donte was like 19-21 years old or some shit from the way he acts and looks. Christ.
Tameem said in a tweet that Dante was 15 years younger than himself. He was 43 at the time.
>>319713646
the dlc was ok
the main game however was trash
>>319713646
The gameplay was somehow functional enough while being so completely braindead and boring that you could basically take a nap on the attack button and win.

>this is supposed to be a succubus
These were the only enemies in the game that were actually fun to fight
>>319715952
Not with that no-lockon camera
The last encounter with the badass one was so hilarious when i just used devil trigger and the dude died in 2 seconds
>>319716149
No lockon camera? I only played the definitive version and it had one.
>>319715909
to be fair on this, it's a creative twist, the 'Succubus' in this case is the mascot for the soda company that attracts people to drink it with the cutesy image.
>>319716237
Lockon is an addition to the definitive edition
Imagine fighting against this fucker who keeps teleporting around with no lockon
>>319714013
>El Donte threads are over
>you'll never hurt your sides laughing at "TeleMundus" again
>>319716309
Well the lockon is lost anyway when he steps into a teleportal then it becomes a guessing game listening to sound.
>>319716428
But it does lockon again when he comes out right? Whenever he came on my back and kept walking around in the blind spot of the camera it was really a chore
>>319714838
It's funny, people were shitting on Revengence, and it ended up being the Devil May Cry we never got, whereas DMC sold as much as Ni No Kuni did (about 1.7 mil according to wikipedia, though VGChartz says NNK sold more).
>>319716638
It doesn't you have to lock on again when he comes out, but its pretty easy to get around this if you listen and try to spot his teleportal while turning the camera.
You can also parry the fucker like you would lets say would do against Monsoon in MGS Revengeance. Monsoon does similiar shit like this.
>>319713646
Pham, DmC is literally the best game in the series.
Donte and Vorgil are based as fuck.
>>319717019
>people were shitting on Revengence, and it ended up being the Devil May Cry we never got
Guy who made the original Devil May Cry made a action game similiar game to Devil May Cry. Who would've thought?
>>319717019
>people were shitting on Revengence
Maybe on MGS threads, outside of that people were optimistic as all fuck for it
As for the sales, i believe the most accurate data we have is on Capcom's report that they shipped 1.2m copies, which doesn't mean it actually sold all that
>>319713646
It is possibly the best western action game.
It is absolutely dogshit.

Why can't western devs make a great action game?
>inb4 someone posts a counter example.
In terms of western action game mechanics it's one of the best, compared to your everyday japanese action game, it's fucking terrible. It's as every much bad as it was on release and the only thing that surpasses the shit fest that is DmC is the faggots that are so meme obsessed that they post mexican Donte thinking it's funny. It was amusing the first time, not the 100000th time.
>>319717796
As someone with a Kratos fanboy for a father, i played thru all of them, and no, they are not.
I played and finished all dmc games on release I liked them all 2 being the worst of them still
It's best hack n slash the west has made
But it's a shitty dmc and is mid tier when you compare it to the much superior hack n slash games that the east has shitted out

DmC was shit like complete and utter shit, choopy 30 fps horrible design choices enemies that have to be hit by a specific weapon is a horrible idea, easy as fuck even on the hardest difficulty
anyone who says the definitive version is anything better then mediocre have low standards. It added lock on which is great but it pretty much half assed everything else, instead of changing how the color coded enemies work, blue should be faster red stronger they just made it so you can hit them with any weapon and do very very minor damage.
ps360 version is a 4/10
ps4bone is a 6/10 maybe a seven if you skip the story and pretend donte is just drunk the whole time
>>319717860
and guess what NT learned nothing from that game they decided to take everything Capcom taught them and threw it out for their new game, you can already see that everything good about DmC was capcom
Can someone please post the Jewtube video of the Mexican version of Vergul vs. Donte fight?
>>319713646
Yes, and since no one else has said why, I will explain.
-The angel and devil weapons being on triggers was a cool idea, it really was. But, other things suffered as a result of taking up at least one extra button for it. This mostly came in the form of the loss of lock-on. Lock-on in DMC traditionally changes the moveset, it wasn't so much to preventing yourself from missing. Moves like Kick13 cant exist anymore. The stinger is awful to execute.
-Post-processing and effects. Every fight in this game takes place in a fucking mess of effects and filters. It is supposed to be "cool" because you are fighting in Limbo, but it is horrible to look at (and probably causes a lot of lag for shittier specs).
-The boss fights. There are not a lot of them, and most of them are HEAVILY scripted. It is true that previous DMC games inflated the amount of boss fights by having refights, but in this game, they are virtually nonexistant. The bosses only have a few moves and don't really feel like a skill-based challenge.
-The platforming sections. This is not a fucking platformer. Why are there so many? Half of the game is fucking platforming.
-Unnecessary cutscenes everywhere. DMC in the past had a few unnecessary cutscenes, but now they are everywhere. It is "modern AAA game" syndrome at its finest. 3 new enemies spawned? Oh, better show Dante looking at them.
-The aforementioned cutscenes in tandem with Limbo causing environment changes (and level design in general) creates another issue, one-way bullshit. Constantly in this game you walk somewhere - down a hallway, through a door, down a hole, or whatever else, and you find yourself unable to go back EVER without redoing the whole mission. DMC trapped you in rooms until you won fights, which is an important mechanic to prevent the player from running through everything. This, on the other hand, is just stupid fucking bullshit. Just what I needed, a cutscene of a door collapsing so I can't go back.
>>319718707
That's no secret anon. The best part of DmC was Vergil's Downfall due to that stylish Vergil action and that's only because of the involvement of Capcom trying their damndest to sell something, anything, DmC related.

>>319718830
Oh, and having 2 dodge buttons is also another waste of space. Some people complained about enemies that are only vulnerable to certain weapon types, but I am okay with it. Others also complained about lack of styles. The only thing I really liked that the game introduced was having both pull-to-enemy and pull-enemy-to-you.
>>319718848
it actually is a secret a lot of people are saying they can not wait to see their new game because of what they learned from DmC, but anyone who saw the new game knows that they think they are right and capcom was ruining their product I think the only thing they took from capcom is the stinger move
>we will never get the game NT originally planned of having Donte being an oprphan kidnaped my demons and brainedwashed into thinking he was dante
>we will never have the game they intended playing as mundus's own manufactured dante that he wanted to create because he realized human demon breeds would make for a good army
>instead get meta dmc game where mundas represents gaming industry, slurm represents journalism, bosses represent journalist and dante is a gamer, where vergil is a gamer goober

>>319716309
Fighting Swagman without lockon wasn't too bad, to be honest.
Still the only remotely challenging enemy because of his parrying and teleporting shit.

Yeah the bossfights weren't really great besides Bob and vergil but older dmc games had some lacking bosses aswell though also had many great ones
-The platforming sections. This is not a fucking platformer. Why are there so many? Half of the game is fucking platforming.
I agree, though its more fun than bac tracking 2/3's of the game like the old dmc's
-Unnecessary cutscenes everywhere. DMC in the past had a few unnecessary cutscenes, but now they are everywhere. It is "modern AAA game" syndrome at its finest. 3 new enemies spawned? Oh, better show Dante looking at them.
3 had a fuckton of long cutscenes, if anything DmC had way less amount of cutscenes that took up your time. those 2 seconds of Donte looking at his enemies weren't really taking you away from the game that long.
Agree on the last part about the one-way shit though.

No it's a shit hack n slash too fuck you
>>319721196
>>319721087
I've gone years without playing DmC or knowing the story. All I knew was how they fucking ruined Dante's character, how they obliterated the Style system, and how they fucking dumbed down the gameplay to a ridiculous extent.
When I found out that Vergil was actually the final boss, and not some mid-boss, after seeing webms of how piss easy and braindead he is, I was legitimately fucking shocked.
>>319721196
This to be honest.
DMC4 Is unnecessary now that SE exists.
Name one advantage 4 has over 4SE
>>319721196
DMC4 is marginally cheaper. I assume the list is saying that at least one version of the game is required.
>>319721142
>2 is slow and terrible,
and DmC one ups that
>How is DmC not better than DMC2 atleast
because of how much of a stepdown it is compared to every other DMC. The characters are worse, the "Shakesperean" writing is total ass, the wubstep is ear rape, gameplay is the worst the series has ever seen.
>>319718203
Fuck you nigga it's a mediocre hack n slash
Yes, yest it was.
>>319721373
Then why isn't 3SE shown?
>>319721326
4 has better textures. It's not much of an advantage but it exists anyway.
>>319718312

>>319713646
It was pretty good. Game play was fun but had problems. Story and writing were pretty hit or miss when it came to quality or entertainment. I liked it and don't think it deserves most of the hate it gets. Also I actually found the new Dante pretty enjoyable both in design and dialog. Some of his dialog was basically just fuck you but some of it was pretty funny. Like I said hit or miss.

Think about the lyrics to Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer.
>>319721738

It is simple but I still think if you want to get into the series you should play it at least once.
>>319719000

>>319720031
>if anything DmC had way less amount of cutscenes that took up your time. those 2 seconds of Donte looking at his enemies weren't really taking you away from the game that long.
those were the fucking worst, taking control from you just so he can smirk is horrible and it happened thats why people say it has a lot of cutscenes
>>319722461
I agree, but I also think you might as well play 2 as well if you play 1. 2 really isn't that bad, it's kind of like they had some good ideals but the controls weren't great usually and guns were just fucked. devil trigger guns killed everything so far and the aerial moves in game were so useless.
>>319722442
He looks like white trash trailer scum.
Jesus, get some fucking standards dude.
>>319722642
Right, but I don't feel like 2 really ties in to the rest of the series. It feels like an outlier. There were some experiments but things ultimately went another way.
>>319722068
I wouldn't really call it deep. I thought the "commentary" was pretty shallow actually though the message wasn't really wrong. And like I said the writing was hit or miss. At least I thought so. The original dmc's didn't really have much in the terms of writing as the story was less important. So I think they just had different styles of story. I wouldn't really call it better.
>>319722723
I've never seen trailer trash with a body like that.
>>319721909
you don't seem to get that DMC2 came after DMC not after DMC3, DmC came after 3 so DmC is worse because its a step down, DMC2 is better because it feels exactly like what it is a game between dmc1 and 3
>>319722427
Well, watching Cutscene Dante is a lot more entertaining than the trash you posted.
>>319722879
dmc2 is slower than dmc1
dmc2 is a huge step down from dmc1 why the fuck do you think people hated it when it came out after dmc 1

Because 2 made you feel like you were a regular ass dude swinging a big sword instead of being a half demon half human superbeing, the only time you felt like you were some kind of superbeing is when you went full devil trigger. Seriously if I want to play a slow ass action game I would play Dark Souls instead. DMC2 as whole game is just bitter piss.
