What am I in for?

at this point if you're new to the series you should give it a try, the criticism comes from it not being made by the same team, some of the enemy designs are kind of cool but compared to DMC1 it feels a lot more clunky and the enemy placement / scenarios / enemy AI kinda suck compared to the first one, the first game has its rough patches too but if you enjoy it and can get DMC2 for cheap I'd recommend at least dipping your toe in it just to see for yourself

Can someone give spoilers on whether the devil cries or not?

how the fuck do I get past here

As someone who has gotten all achievements in 2, it is a terrible game. Boss fights almost all have a safe spot you can stand in and just shoot forever. Enemies often have multiple life bars but barely do any damage to you even on the highest difficulty. A lot of enemies and bosses are pretty much only possible to shoot. The ai is completely brain dead. Levels are way too big and spread apart. It's mind-numbingly easy.

Resident Evil-esque design.

Later in the game you'll find a trident to fit in there, don't worry about it for now.

3>5>4>1>2

Contrarians can fuck off

Some low-effort bing bing wahoo cashcrab

I agree, but I would switch 4 and 1. 4's level design holds it back for me.

A good game with a bad camera.

for me, its DMC3

I fucking refuse to play 4 past Berial anymore. Those fucking spinning gyros in the castle represent everything wrong with that fucking game

Nah, it does in the sequel though. So definitely pick that one up.

Maybe even a Devil May Cry when he loses a loved one.

1 is better than 5 tho.

>Those fucking spinning gyros in the castle represent everything wrong with that fucking game

They made them way faster in DMC4SE

You take that back right now.

you should play and find out don't be the faggot that parrots the same shit without even playing it

No.
5 has nothing going for it other than the combat system. Rest of the game is beyond bland.
1 has an archaic combat system by comparison, but every aspect of the game is well crafted and makes playing through the game a blast.
I never want to play through 5 again but I'll gladly go and play through 1.

How is the Switch port compared to PS4?

Devil Man Cries

Averages around 23fps at 720p dynamic resolution that can dip as low as 500p.

They're still terrible. I had no idea about that though

Cringe
A lot of it
Some fun action gameplay
Horrible fucking RE camera
Cringe

4 SE > 3 Switch > 1 > DmC > 5 > 2

Ah, it's like I'm really playing on PC.

Gyroblades can at least be used as a fight gimmick, same as the key of chronus. The real piece of shit in 4 are the TWO dice games, the window boss and the platforming while two mephistos finger your ass (and then the secret mission version of it because you loved the regular one so much).

I don't know about ranking, but I'll tell you this.
The only DMC games I still replay are DMC1, DMC3 and DMC4.

You are my main nigga even though I think you overrate 4SE.

Level design's not great, but having the gameplay run that smooth on top of 5 playable characters, one of which is Lady, makes 4 SE a personal favorite. It's a near-perfect fanservice game for DMC bros I'd say.

The combat is shit.
the story is shit.
only the music and dante's design get a pass.
lucia's subplot is okay.
But in general, it's an insultingly bad game where the best solution, sometimes the ONLY solution, is to just shoot stuff to death.
also, development for this game was MEGA FUCKED- allow me to give you an example.
when itsuno came onto the project, he was there to SALVAGE this trash fire in under a year. the only complete asset in the game was the stinger.
so itsuno made a functional, complete devil may cry game in under a year. he was given this time table and expected to like it.
that's why the game is so godawful,

this game was so UNBELIEVABLY bad that itsuno himself used it as a standard to never again drop his games to. he deadass told the guys developing dmc3 that it should never, ever be another devil may cry 2, in fact dmc2 is the entire reason dmc3 exists at all. dmc2 was so laughably bad that itsuno HAD to make a 3rd one to redeem the franchise. he was so salty about being forced to rush this game out that he turned the development of dmc3 into his personal vendetta-goal.
and we all know how THAT went.
so when you take a look at dmc2 remember that not even DmC is half as bad as dmc2. dmc2 will, hopefully, forever be the lowest point of the franchise and will never again befoul us with its presence.

A decent game but what you actually get from playing it will vary greatly depending on your exposure to the fanbase's parroting (both positive and negative) beforehand. It is very unforgiving in certain regards, but as a whole is fun.

Nigger it says you're playing.
Fuck off with the template threads and come back when you've got something to post about.

It's shit

DmC actually has some cool platforming, level design and serviceable combat (DE at least has).
Story and characters are the definition of cringe.
Still I think it gets too much hate.

5 playable characters makes it worse considering that means you go backwards 5 times.

A desire to fill a dark soul with liiiiiiiiggggghhhhhhhttttttt

>emulate a game when you could just run the actual PC version

What did he mean about this?
