ITT: Franchises that ruined themselves after the first game

Is there a worst franchise than DMC? They fucked up their own protagonist, the first sequel was garbage, the third game is the best in the series, the fourth game is only worth it for the inertia and OTF style switching (Nero is mostly useless, 4SE added Vergil, Lady and Trish, who are also completely useless but also barebones, broken and unbalanced, the base game is still complete shit), DmC reboot was a terrible idea and a waste of everyone's time, DMC5 was too little too late as it took several steps back, and my god did they fuck up the characters so badly, and the soundtrack is fucking terrible (only those with shit taste loved the music).

I struggle to think of a franchise that got worse treatment than DMC. Maybe Sonic, but at least the long-time fans got Mania. Us real original DMC fans are still left pining for the real sequel to DMC1. Putting Itsuno at the helm of a doomed sequel was a mistake, and while DMC3 was a great brawler, it was still not the sequel DMC1 deserved, and the reboot was still an off-shoot of DMC3/4.

But DMC3 was a prequel and possibily the best one out there. It connects perfectly to DMC1 if you get the full ending and it's very respectful towards Kamiya's work. He was also supervising the game for a bit and shirtless Dante was his idea.

I do agree that DMC4 and 5 are very different and it just feels like Itsuno just wants to make his own game with Nero as the protagonist rather than a true faithful sequel to the franchise. It doesn't help that the games got super popular with the reddit hoype crowd when 5 was about to be released.

Kamiya Klowns out here sucking cock yet again. OP is a faggot like always.

Been at least a 2 decades since he seen Virgil
Do you recognize a long lost journal after 2 decade
Virgil is a dick
At least talk about V’s coat being the exact same as Virgil’s

I'm in my 30s and I do not look like that at all. I still look like I'm in my late 20s.

>everything you said was wrong
Prove it.

>It connects perfectly to DMC1
No it doesn't, it retcons DMC1's own backstory to fit into the timeline, look it up. Itsuno asked Kamiya if it was okay they were reviving Vergil for the plot of 3 and Kamiya approved.

>It doesn't help that the games got super popular with the reddit hoype crowd when 5 was about to be released.
You idiots need to stop pinning the blame on reddit alone. This is literally the state of the fanbase as a whole, regardless of where they populate. The community is thoroughly autistic and detestable, all they give a shit about is memes, not gameplay.

>Kamiya Klowns out here sucking cock yet again
I never said I like Kamiya, I actually hate every single one of his games except RE2 and DMC1. But if I had to pick his best action game, it's MGRR and nothing else. Bayonetta is trash.

Just played through the series other than DmC. The first one is still a fantastic game but theres alot of fun to be had with the newer titles I found. Was not too big on 4 overall but 3 and 5 are some of the best fun I have had in any action game.

Yet you act like a twitter nigger.

Don't (you) me.
Won't see it.

You lose
Bye bye

I wished they had his DMC 4 outfit as a unlockable

DMC1 was a dry Resident Evil off shoot. 3 was what gave it its identity. Cope.

He knew V was Vergils human half after confronting urizen. He purposely left v with Trish to let him see mommy again. He’s just more pissed that urizen is hulking around rather than V who seems to want to stop urizen as well

>Us real original DMC fans
Amazing bait

It always bewilders me that you fucks legit believe Dante has a complex character.

And just like that, your OP can be completely disregarded as it is clear you've absolutely not even the smallest idea about what you're talking about.
I'm out, peace.
Also kill yourself and don't forget to stream it, tranny.

Why do people like inertia so much to the point of saying its more important than more actual mechanics
