Why people say that DmC was a flop ? (Besides a critical flop)
Well, most of those sales came years later when it was on PC and PS4/XBO but the initial sales on 360 and PS3 fell below expectations.
NICE! Much deserved!
Nice. Great game. Now give us DMC6 :-)
bought iv and v recently, will try it
Still have to play this... but my backlog is so insane.
The original devil may cry was my first true love, and nothing else has come close in the series.
Same here. I wish they would try something a bit scary and gothic horror. The castle worked so well in part 1.
That makes me very happy. Love to see the franchise doing well. I hope the next game is more focused on horror and scary gothic atmosphere, like the very first game.
They have the perfect set-up for the next game as well: Dante for the jokes and over the top action. Nero for the punk and the heart. V for the scares. Vergil for the deep questions about redemption and humanity.
Massive congrats to Capcom and the dmc team well done!
Honestly, this one didn't do it for me. I think the fun in a game like this is mastering the combat, and dividing the game into three parts makes it difficult to get in the groove as any one character. When I was playing as V or Nero, I just wished I was playing as Dante instead. And, even the Dante segments were a bit lacking. They're still fun, but haven't evolved all that much since DMC 3. And while I was playing this, I kind of just felt like my time would have been better spent replaying that game.
Having a hard time getting into #5. The cut scenes after every single battle don't help. I love cut scenes and story but it's a bit much in an action game. I just want to fight monsters.
Quite something for a franchise that didn't change almost everything, like GoW did. DMC kept the same ingredients for 20 years just making the right improvements in DMC5 and that success is totally deserved.
The franchise got worse over the years,
