Thoughts on the Devil May Cry series? Thinking of getting into it
Thoughts on the Devil May Cry series? Thinking of getting into it

Just hack and slash your way forward
Jackson Watson
It's very good.
2 and the reboot are optional. Play 1, 3 ,4 and 5 in order.
Aaron Butler
It's a very fun and very replayable series.
Benjamin Hall
Some of the best games ever made.
Leo Martin
>reboot is optional
Owen Howard
Playing it now, you don't even get much fun out of laughing at it. It's just the couple of clips that made the rounds around release, then the rest of it is boring drivel. And the gameplay certainly isn't anything to write home about.
Gavin Allen
It is, but personally I'd recommend playing it. It's a good action game in and of itself, plus you get to see some of the shit that would be used in DMC5.
Adam Cooper
>play 3
>get my absolute ass kicked by the boss outside the pizza place right at the start
I'm fucking SHIT at these kinda games damn it
Austin Scott
Just out of curiosity, what got you interested?
Eli Wilson
>pizza place
You mean Dante's office? It's not a pizza place.
Nathan Harris
Cringe anime weeb shit
Tyler Gonzalez
I'm a big fan of Platinums games, but I just never got around to DMC.
Gabriel Sanders
>boring drivel
No that's 3
Brody Young
It's fine.
Samuel Sullivan
>cringe
Underage detected.
Joseph Moore
It's good fun. It strikes the perfect balance of giving the player just enough different moves to pull off but not so much where it becomes overwhealming and you just resort button mashing because you can't be arsed learning all the combinations.
The first game is interesting because everyone knows about the established "CUHRAYZAEE" personality of the franchise but DMC1 is actually genuinely quite eerie and I love. It's way less cartoony and has a very creepy atmosphere that sticks with you.
Elijah Stewart
Not him but I got into the series back when DMC 5 6 months just cause I thought devil trigger was a banger and I loved how unapologetically edgy the game seemed
Brody Brooks
It is, 2 however, is not
Ryder White

Michael Evans
kino
Isaiah Morales
if I play on easy I'll feel like a fag though
Austin Ward
Playing DMC3 now, it's kinda boring (I'm at mission 9) but it has it's fun moments.
Should I enable Turbo Mode?
Kevin Campbell
Sure, if you want a faster pace.
Don't play ANY of these games on Easy. They're braindead on that difficulty.
Gavin Bennett
Why do reddit and journos still defend and fellate the story of the reboot to this day? Are they retarded?
Caleb Myers
Anons, what's up with me loving and kind of excelling at DMC but sucking ass and being bored by Bayonetta? It feels too different, the gravity is really floaty and I am not a fan of the other weapons, dodge offset is also a mechanic I am trying to get used to
Yes
Carter Clark
Caleb Myers
Yes, once you go turbo you can't go back. I can't play any DMC without turbo, feels way too slow
Liam Nguyen
Key differences
>Enemies in Bayo are much more aggresssive than DMC, don't feel safe just because you're juggling or air comboing someone, Bayonetta enemies will tear you to shreds and until you get really good you need to be on your toes most fights
>Weapons aren't like DMC where they offer you new movesets (even if they have new moves themselves) but rather modifiers onto Bayo's large moveset. For example, Shuraba is good at giving you more combo points + damage and some new tools at the trade off of range. Odette also trades range for combos but instead of combo points, it trades off freezing enemies and movement speed increase. Often they limit range for something interesting, don't think of them as DMC weapons.
>It's floaty for a reason, Bayonetta has no clear difference between air and grounded combat. Doing PPPKK combo for example will work in the air or on the ground, even if you land mid combo it'll keep going, it's a very aerial game
William Robinson
I used to feel the same, keep at it dude
Once you master dodge offset you're pretty muched hooked
Josiah Johnson
I don't know. The game was easier than the older ones, Ninja Theory was known for its good storytelling (so journos were already in love with them), and I guess they just saw the older fans' criticisms as whining? There is SO MUCH shit in DmC that would not fly today. The game would get castrated for some of the shit it has.
Eli Adams
the only one worth playing in 2020 is 5
Nathan Flores
Funny because Ninja Theory's stories were never written in-house by them before DmC. I remember Alex Garland telling them to tone down the edge in Enslaved before. I find it weird that proto-wokefags kept defending DmC.
Ryan Flores
Playing DMC 1 for the first time and loving it but I can't fucking beat Nelo Angelo 3 for shit what the fuck do I do?
Thomas Williams
Goddammit, why does Xbox's trimming system suck so much ass? I trim the part I want, it tells me it's trimming, and then the progress bar stays at 75% for like 5 minutes until it gives up. Son of a bitch, I just want to share some gameplay with you guys.

>Sniper rifle abortion
SJWs would have a field day. Or defend it since they seem to think it's okay for the West to do literally anything.
Ayden Brown
Fuck you, they're all worth playing.
What are you having trouble with?
Aiden Cook
>Or defend it since they seem to think it's okay for the West to do literally anything.
Nah, they throw shitfits over western stuff, too. Vid related being one of those things.
Andrew Sullivan
use ifrit
Ayden Nelson
At least they're equal opportunity snowflakes now.
Samuel Stewart
requesting an edit of this image with Nero in the middle, Vergil behind him, and a dying Dante on the stage.
William Mitchell
Ifrit
Lucas Brooks
I've been told to wait out his combos but whenever I try to roll or jump to dodge he always manages to hit me multiple times anyway. That and I'm not quite sure what to do about his summon swords, at least when he uses them as a shield. I've tried using both Ifrit and Alastor and the most I've been able to do was get him to 1/3 of his health left repeatedly.
