Just finished the whole series for the first time and did it back to back on normal.1 was the best, 2 was boring, 3 and 4 were good and 5 is the most funDespite the insane praise this series gets I did not expect the enemies to be this fucking bad in 3 and 4.It seems like those games have only 2 types of enemies, enemies that stand there to build your style meter and enemies that are annoying retards to break your style meter.Making style switching a thing in 4 and 5 for Dante seems like a bad decision to me because it makes him genuinely too complex for anyone with under 900 hours just on him, I liked that in 3 you were forced to use 1 style and 2 melee weapons to get creative.1 might be one of the very best games ever made and I will go back for DMD on 1 3 and 5 for sure.
>2 was boringit had a great premise. SWORD vs GUN. Choose your build.to this day, i still get fluttery about that.
>>731098790Play the reboot.
>>731098790>on normalSo you beat the tutorial of each game?
>>731098790i was going to do the same thing so I got the first three and got filtered by the first one. i didn't expect it to be so fucking hard kek gdi
>>731098790DMC had its bumps, but it's a series with the best progression in gaming history. It built its identity and never let go of it.
I also agree that 1 is the best. I liked the tone and general vibe in that game way more than all the other DMC games. I also like Dante's voice and attitude in that game the best.
>>731098790>I did not expect the enemies to be this fucking bad in 3 and 4.This becomes a bigger problem once you get to DMD, especially in 3. You will hate the Fallens, Arachnes, Enigmas, Soul Eaters, and most of all the rooms where you have to face them with other enemies at the same time. It's why most anons say Very Hard is the peak of DMC3 whereas DMD is poorly balanced and generally unfun. DMC4 isn't as bad, at least on Nero's section. Dante's is legit a pain since almost everything in his kit is undertuned with the exception of distortion real impact which you'll find yourself using a lot just to quickly dispatch the problem enemies. Though 4 has my most hated enemies in the franchise, namely the fucking lizard niggers with shields that become even more annoying when they get taken over by the seeds that combo break you with no warning sign. Nevertheless, I still prefer the enemy variety in 3 and 4 to 5 which honestly are just combo sandbags of varying shapes and have the opposite issue of rarely providing any challenge at all.
4 > 2 > DmC > 1 > 3 > 5
1 is the only fun one. The rest are all kinda tedious.
>>731099342It's easy to flex beating DMD when there were only two DMC games in existence on a console with nothing else worth playing.
For all the praise these games get for their combat, I feel like it still gets pretty repetitive. I feel giving an entire face button to the low-damage ranged attacks is a bad idea. I wish they used both the Y and X/Triangle and Cross buttons together to form complex combo variations, instead of one being the designated melee button and one being the designated ranged button. Guns on their own do so little damage, they just need to be worked into larger melee combos or they're useless anyway. That being said I'm super nostalgic for DMC3, love that game.
>>731098969>EL DONTE Fuck you!!
>>731098969This game goes on sale all the time for like 5 bux. I think it might be time to finally play this game now that I know Tameem won't be receiving a dime from it and I've moved past my anger of it from over 10 years ago
>>731098969Pure kino.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9J8ccza1OI
>>731099951>It's why most anons say Very Hard is the peak of DMC3 whereas DMD is poorly balanced and generally unfun.Skill issue, but it also isn't your fault. I love DMC 3 and jerk off to that game, but DMD was just heavily designed to those who only play DMC 3. It isn't so bad if it's your favorite game, and you can easily overcome any challenges it throws at you since to kill enemies quick requires some really precise combos and just frames all over the place. But the amount of practice and patients required can easily filter even the most die hard fans.
>>731100356>Guns on their own do so little damageMaybe in DMC4 for anybody that isn't Lady, and maybe in DMC5Grenade Launcher is unironically meta for general damage in DMC1DMC2 DT guns are insane and melt everything in secondsDMC3 has Spiral cancel and the shottie being capable of outputting insane damage on gunslinger
>>731102335That game alone got me into Combichrist. Great band.
>>731102969Agreed!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8pBe1Zbd3Y
>>731102708>Maybe in DMC4Nero charge lvl3 is probably the most broken move in the game and even Dante's charged shotgun is strong despite how underwhelming the rest of his kit is.
>>731098886you can beat the entire game by spamming gun. the game is rightfully hated for being a boring, easy slog. also whats a tripfag doing here?
>>731100150This kind of game benefits from being a bit shorter and simpler. I'd like to find more games that are a couple hours long but are good enough to make me want to keep replaying. Mirror's Edge was another similar game that was pretty great and the sequel became tedious.
>>731098790I liked DMC overall as a series but I also feel every single game just has some shit about it that's great and also sucks.1's just got some lame missions mixed in with shit platforming here and there. I think the game's simplicity is its charm but there's also some fucking secrets that were insane to me. I couldn't believe some of the places they hid blue orb fragments.3's got some truly terrible bosses that aren't fun to fight at all. Vergil carries the fuck out of it even though the gameplay is generally top notch.4 could be great if they went all in on one character, but instead it's some sort of half-assed game with split gameplay styles and Dante's weaker than he should be (even though his kit is fucking nuts). Nero's fun but he doesn't get enough to shine and the game has no cool final boss, it's just shit.Then there's 5 which actually has a reason to be played again since Nero gets his actual full kit, but you have to play the shitty V missions and the level design is probably the most boring in the series.
>>731103351>you can beat the entire game by spamming gunYes. That's what is meant by a BUILD.DMC2 has the BEST premise of "Sword vs Gun. Choose one". You can get through sword only (except for the INFESTED HELICOPTER) or you can get through gun only. Both paths are open.Only 2 and 3 give players the "RPG" feel you choose your loadouts based on what you like.
>>731102683The main issue of DMD is the overtuned defense multiplier on DTd enemies. Avoiding enemy DT is also counterintuitive, unfun garbage
>>731098790DMC1 is definitely the best in the series and I've been seen saying that for many years now despite the endless 3 wank followed by 5 wank.
>>731104554> except for the INFESTED HELICOPTERMan dying in that part just because I didn't choose gun will be etched in my memory until my death irl.
>>731100245Even on hard it restores some stuff not in normal difficulty. For example enemies have DT only on DMD
>>731098790DMC 5 would be the perfect game for me if it had playable Trish and Lady
>>731098790>1 was the bestOP not a faggot for once. Holy Based.
>>731100150DMC1 is fun, atmospheric and short, but the game is piss easy if you start farming for red orbs. Also, the fixed camera angles doesnt help the action either.
>>731098790Now play Bayonetta and experience the greatness that is dodge offset
>>731098790>1 was the bestStopped reading there. You wrong.
>>731107510>DMC3cuck
>>731107546>KamiyafagYour opinions will never matter.
>>731107659How'd that Dragons Dogma sequel work out again?
>>731107772Disappointing, which is still better than anything Kamiya has made.
>>731107923>being this butthurt over being blocked on Twitter you pretend Kamiya has never made any good games/v/ contrarianism is something else
>>731107510I love 1 the more I play it. I'd rank it second behind 5 because its such a different experience while 3, 4 and 5 are very similar in their design intent.
>>731108101Name a good game he was actually in charge of. I'll save you some time: RE2 was Mikami, not him. Viewtiful Joe, Okami and 101 aren't good.
>>731098790>1 was the best,lmao.
>>731108215I can see the fedora from this post
>>731098969I honestly would if they'd put it on PC
>>731098969A few months ago I did the same thing as OP but played this after 5 and I had way, way too much fun with it. Pretending it was an unrelated piece of shovelware called Inferno or something made it way easier to enjoy as a time camp-sule.
>>731108354>no games listedDidn't think so.
>>731110359Well I'll see ya. Yeah
>>731110449Okay, fag. Kamiya games all suck.
>>731110634Not my problem
>>731103918I had one anon fucking retard fighting me tooth and nail that dmc5 had the best art direction and level design, he made me question reality
1 has the benefit of having the most consistent difficulty curve in the series when it comes to getting to DMD. 3 gets worse because they over-corrected for 2 being way easy and you have shit like Fallen and Arkham. It's funny that people will complain all day long about the underwater mission in DMC1 (which lasts 3 minutes) yet I would rather do a million of those than ever attempt to SS Rank Mission 19 on DMD in DMC3 ever again. DMC3 has a lot of dogshit encounter design because most enemies outside the Hells are nauseating. You can't really name a bad enemy in DMC1 aside from maybe the Kyclops for being just copy pasted Phantoms.
Dmc 1 was good but outdated 3 is peak Dmc v is fucking garbage
>>731098790>I did not expect the enemies to be this fucking bad in 3 and 4.3's enemy roster really should have just stopped at the Hell's. Everything introduced after sucks. 4's issue is how every single enemy in the game is balanced around Nero and getting Devil Bringer'd to get opened up so Dante just gets fucked when it's his turn.I can pretty confidently say 5 has the best enemy lineup in the series.
>>731115792>outdated>peak>Dmc vBait so good it got me to reply
I flip 3 coins, Win, & end my turn.
>>731098790For me its 1 is ok2 is dogshit3 is best 4 has decent combat but dogshit mission5 is the 2nd worst
nigger
How is real-time style switching in DMC3? Does it work okay?I've only ever played it on PS2.
Honestly I'd much rather the games from 3 on kill you in like 2, maybe 3 hits max but make the enemies have a lot less health in return than to do this combo pinata shit.I feel like DMC1 was the best designed game in the series even though it's basically just a recycled RE4 alpha build.
If you're unaware of slash cancelling in DMC1 you're a fake fan
