DMC2 is easily the worst of the bunch, so yes.

 

[Jick]

DMC 2 was just horrible.

 

[TeeKay]

I enjoyed it. But then again I was like 10,when I first played that game. I remember Dante doing sick stuff with his machine guns. Which one is the best of the bunch though?

 

[Jick]

DMC 3 usually is the one to get the most praise out of the old ones and I loved it as well. I played the hell out of that game. I enjoyed DmC as much as I enjoyed 3.

 

[JaD]

I remember really liking 2 when I first played it, but mostly because of the cool backflips when dodging in battle. I'm sure when I get around to my PS3 trilogy remaster my opinion will change though

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I played DMC 2 on PS2. Sickest game I've ever played back in the day. Haven't played the new versions though. Are they any good?

DMC2 is by far the worst game in the series, and seen as stain on the series by... well everyone. May I suggest the DMC HD collection, which contains the first and third game. Those are the classics. DMC4 is also good.

The new DMC is blah from a gameplay perspective, and they ruined the style of the old games. Hopefully the remaster improved it.

And that's why it was awesome. There was some sick combos you could do in it.

Thanks Darth.d: Isn't the new DMC the one he goes into alternate dimensions and stuff? I'll definitely check em out. Right now I wanna get the Order:1886.

I hear DmC is amazing and I can't wait to get it. I traded in my PS3 copy that I never got around to after I saw the remaster announcement. I'm also looking to get the DMC4 remaster too .

 

[Havok83]

DmC IS amazing. Truly one of the more underrated game of last gen. People never gave it a fair chance and were determined to hate it off principle alone. I bet some that did try it actually didnt mind it but felt the need to unnecessarily hate on it anyway bc they couldnt bare to admit it was actually a decent game. Id highly recommend it to anyone. Its a solid entry for the genre and franchise

go back and play it now. It was dreadful. I remember not minding it when it came out. I played it when the collection was released and its an awful game

The first and third games. They are classics, and two of the best Hack n' Slash games ever made. Right alongside Ninja Gaiden Black and Bayonetta 1 and 2.

I played it. I liked some of it. Surprisingly liked Dante more then I expected. Not a fan of the story or style outside of Dante. The gameplay is mediocre at best, especially compared to the all time status of original and Dante's Awakening. It is slow, with lazy enemy AI and no active variety. Bayonetta 2 came out last year, and wiped the floor with it. All that being said, the night club level is fantastic.

I do find it incredibly arrogant to tell others how they felt about it by the way. Especially considering I'd question your knowledge of the genre if you think DMC is a solid entry.

I found it arrogant when people would tell me that it was awful and that my opinion didnt matter bc I wasnt some DMC diehard

And I didnt tell anyone how they should feel about it. People are free to make up their own minds. I really am not bothered either way

DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition Changelog Details The Changes To The Game. March 10, 2015 . 11:59am

Capcom and Ninja Theory have posted an in-depth changelog detailing the changes made to the game since its original release.

DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition is being released today, and Capcom and Ninja Theory have posted an in-depth changelog detailing the changes made to the game since its original release.

The log has been written by Definitive Edition Creative Director, Rahni Tucker, and can be downloaded over at Capcom Unity. Here’s an example of some of the nitty-gritty you’ll find within pertaining to Vergil:

• Tweaked Rising Star and Solar Flare hit timings, and added a 3rd strike at the peak.
• Nerfed damage and style on Volcano when full charged, and just released.
• Adjusted hover windows on aerial attacks.
• Damage of Spiral Swords and Blistering Swords slightly reduced
• Reduced the number of hits Spiral Swords can take before they break.
• Parry Windows are slightly shorter

Changes have also been made to the style system in the game. Ninja Theory write: “Style Bonuses in the original game became too ‘spammy’ and didn’t feel like a reward for doing something cool – they just became par for the course. At the same time, players doing awesome super long combo chains with brilliant finishers weren’t getting properly rewarded… what we wanted to see was a big jump-cancel combo ending with a helmbreaker kill be rewarded with a pop in the style system. So, with this in mind we replaced a lot of the old Style Bonuses with an ‘awesome combo’ bonus. It counts the number of consecutive attacks you do in a row, then when you do a ‘finishing move’ you get a big bonus based on number of hits in the combo. Finishing moves are basically the last hit in any combo, or any slam down attack.”

DmC is good. But that's the ceiling I'd give it. It doesn't stand with the previous games or most of the other 'golden standard' of the genre by any means, but it's definitely enjoyable. It was a good start, I think, to what could've been a great series. The only thing I give to it over the previous titles is the story. It didn't have a great story or anything, but it was interesting, and at least coherent.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I found it arrogant when people would tell me that it was awful and that my opinion didnt matter bc I wasnt some DMC diehard

And I didnt tell anyone how they should feel about it. People are free to make up their own minds. I really am not bothered either way

Then why do you feel the need to take jabs at others on the subject whenever given the chance?

I have no problem with anyone liking what they like. You do you. But that is exactly what those that aren't fans of the new series are doing as well. DMC 5 is their preferred avenue of continuation, and considering how badly the last game did, seems the wise choice for the company. Especially considering how weak Ninja Theory's output has been in general imo.

Personally, beyond the aesthetic and story, which is very much a personal taste imo. The mechanics just don't measure up. Now, that isn't always a deal breaker for me. God of War 1 and 2 are some of my absolute favorite games, but fall a tab short in the combat department imo. But at least they have some speed and challenge to go along with the puzzles, platforming, story, characters and visuals.

 

[DeadPresident]

The story put me off DmC. I thought the gameplay was quite decent, it didn't trump 3/4 IMO but it was engaging enough for a single play through at least. I don't know what the **** Tameem was thinking with that story though, I know there's some dumb **** out there but to go that full out and still have the gall to call it "Some of the best writing gaming has to offer"...Pffffftt. Dante didn't look too bad though.

Any game that seems like a bunch of 16 year olds you'd find in a 4chan or Youtube comments section wrote the dialogue is bound to be divisive. But I suppose that's who they wrote it for, so it's success shouldn't be too surprising.

What jabs were taken? I saw you be the one to insinuate I was arrogant. I just expressed an opinion on the title. Besides the game just got re-released today. Discussion has gone back to talking about it. Expressing an opinion on it is actually relevant right now. Is it that difficult to understand why I made a post about my thoughts on it today?

You get a for cool gif usage. But seriously, dat writing. It's not like DMC1-4 set the bar very high in the first place.

It was like Citizen Kane in comparison to DMC1-4, and I say that as a huge fan.

"The world is at last your *****, as am I. Nothing left but to grab it by the hair, bend it over, and - "

Succubus: "**** you!"
Dante: "**** you!"
Succubus: "**** YOOOUUUUU!!!"

Seriously...seriously? DMC1-4 was outlandish, juvenile and ridiculously cheesy. But it usually didn't come across as a conversation between a kid with Aspergers and one with Tourette's Syndrome. I'd even let it slide if the studio admitted it was going over the top, but Tameem's comments about it being some kind of cerebral and intelligent story just killed any possible respect the writing may deserve. He said that so that the pseudo-intellectual teenagers that bought the game wouldn't see it for the tripe that it was. The story, and most of all the dialogue are indefensible.

It reads like a shock value script designed to make angsty teens feel edgy. It's the video game version of wearing a Cannibal Corpse shirt to church.

Lol, okay.

That is the thing, it wasn't a success. It bombed, at least out of the gate.

DMC 2 maybe. I have my issues with DMC3, but they are streets better from a story and character stand point. Melancholy, does not equal better writing.
