Yea dmc2 is awesome and the best it didn't received the reception backintheday like it has nowadays 🙄 we gotta lot of frauds and fake gamers that claim the like dmc alot of things the dmc series has its because of dmc2
Yo I got a question why dmc2 is the middle in chronologically if dmc 5 dante only has sin devil trigger when he stabs himself in their old/parents mansion
@@javarousfrazier398 The DMC3 manga actually answers that to a degree. If Dante is under a colossal amount of stress and loses his will to hold back his demonic powers, he'll enter a form that goes far beyond his normal devil trigger. In DMC3's manga, it's an unnamed Form. In DMC2, if you are low health with enough DT in the bar, you enter the majin form, or the Desperation Devil Trigger (and considering the chronology, it was at the lowest point of his life, so he's under a considerable amount of emotional stress at the time from the get go). Both of these instances were honestly just his true power, but wildly untamed and hard to actually use effectively. In DMC5, the fusion of Sparda and Rebellion inside of Dante allowed him to achieve his true power that was previously held back nigh-permanently. Now he can just activate it at will. No stress required.
DMC 1 was my first game, my dad had a PS2 and i was very young. Every week he would pop into cash converters to see what games they had cheap and one day he just picked it up from cash converters. This was roughly 3 years after the release of DMC1. Must have only been 9/10 years old. I played it with my dad as at that age i couldnt understand what was going on. Then from there it was just a good memory to have playing the series for the first time. Over time i just stumbled towards getting DMC2 and 3 next.
I played the 3rd when I was younger. Couldn't beat it for years because of Beowulf and Vergil and because I was just bad. Now I am a big fan, playing the 5th alot and bought the Collection 1-3. I still need to play 1 and complete 4. I personally would recommend starting with the 3rd one even though it's hard but it keeps you up for more
For me vergil is kinda easy but beowulf? Man he took me 3 days to defeat him and almost gave up on trying to finish and play devil may cry in story and chronological order.
DMC1 was my first introduction to the series. I bought it at a local CD place on Halloween eve and when I fired up the disc in my PS2 I instantly fell in love. The art style, the Gothic scenery, the gameplay, and soundtrack all blew me away.
I started with the remake then played 3 1 2 4 and 5 it made me appreciate the remake because I didn't know anything about the original so I saw it as it's own thing while still absolutely loving the originals and seeing them for the gem of a game series it truly is
Well, long story short: It was 2018 and I saw some of the E3's gameplay footage of Resident Evil 2 remake (it will make sense, I promise). It was a Claire playthrough, where she was exploring the RPD and chased by Mr.X. Seeing the movement of the character and having the feeling someone's chasing me, it was such a mindblowing thing that I couldn't ignore, despite I hadn't even touched any RE game. January 2019 and the game is in my hands. It was the first and the best survival horror moment I've ever witness in my whole gaming life and after I've finished most of the franchise, it's still the first in my heart! ...Then it comes out another CAPCOM game...: Devil May Cry 5. Oh lord, this was also my entry to the DMC franchise and became unforgettable, as well as RE 2 remake was my first RE game ever! Both games made me play the whole DMC and RE series. Except DmC and RE 5/6 and some other RE spin-offs. These games, ladies and gentlemen, were the best to introduce me of two of the best franchises in gaming history!
I just started out with 5 and I'm glad I did, I basically get the general summary of the plot from the previous games, and its great gameplay....and the funny mega buster and funny motivated man from the special edition
I started with DMC2, first time I was introduced to DMC. I was hanging out with an an ex friend, saw this game and was stoked to play it, played it and thought it was alright, because I was a dumb 13 year old kid lol. Then I bought devil may cry 1! Then 3!
I got into the DMC series less than a year ago after I finished playing Metal Gear Rising and wanted to play more Character action Hack n Slash games. I originally intended to only play DMC 5SE, but after listening to Bury The Light and became more interested in the DMC series, I ended up getting the DMC HD collection and DMC 4SE during my first Steam Sale. I started off with Devil May Cry 3 SE and I struggled a lot during my first time playing it, but I managed to get through the game and beat the last Vergil boss fight and it's what got me hooked into the series and helped me step out of my comfort zone to play more challenging games. So far I've finished 4SE and 5SE, and still plan to play 1, 2 and Reboot.
I started with DMC5 from my friends recommendation and loved it so much that I decided to platinum it, now I've got the other games (other than the reboot) and I'm gonna play through them once I get a controller because I unfortunately learned that keyboard controls suck a ton for any game other than dmc5
I first played DMC1 when I was a sophomore in high school. I thought it was awesome, but also hard as hell, easily one of the most difficult games I had experienced up until then. I later played DMC2, and I actually didn't hate it. The less stiff feeling controls, instant dodge button, and additional stick combos were nice improvements. I enjoyed the game overall, but not nearly as much as the first one. I think everyone playing the series for the first time should afford DMC2 one full playthrough so that they can form their own opinion on it, especially since you can easily get the first three games as a package deal. A year later I played 3 and absolutely loved it. That game is so GOATED man, definitely one of my favorites of all time. I plan to eventually get the switch version and original non-special edition just because I love it so much. I actually haven't played 4 or 5 yet because I've spent so much time trying to 100% 1 and 3(DMC2 s rank without infinite dt is awful).
i personally started with 1, then played 3, then tried 4 (didn't get far into it, there were a few parts i found immensely frustrating) before getting 5 when it came out. personally i can recommend playing them in that order since it gives you a nice progression in terms of teaching you the base mechanics and slowly working your way up, plus seeing how the series improved over time is really interesting
Bought 1-5 (and DmC) on Steam this year. Started with DMC 1 and love it. The gameplay is amazing to me and the graphics, being as old as me, look great still. I also like that you can backtrack from almost anywhere to pick up an item you missed earlier, for example: I was on my DMD save and missed a blue orb shard in the beginning so I picked it up when I got back to that point again. I'm in the middle on DMC 2 right now and I hate that everything I learned from DMC 1 got scrapped and dumbed down.
Saw DMC5 first but played 4 first cause i got the base game for a MEGA good price at CeX (£1.50). Also got 5 at a pretty good price and CANNOT PUT IT DOWN. Planning to play the rest soon. I love this series.
I can easily say i started really good Devil May Cry 3 Special edition a decade ago or close to it...i can easily say it brought me back to gaming overall... Absolutely the best in the series n definitely in my top 3 of all time along with the Ninja Gaiden series ..God of war 3
I started playing dmc 3 first on ps2 in like in 2007 and fell in love. I remember constantly dying to the first Vergil boss fight and was obsessed with the cutscenes
Could you make a video ranking the video advertisements or trailers of the Devil May Cry games? My favorite is a Japanese video ad for DMC3 featuring Reuben Langdon as live action Dante.
I was introduced to the Devil May Cry games with DMC5 on my Xbox One, when I was 11. I watched the Vergil DLC announcement and O Fortuna, I was hyped as hell. Even my parents thought the game was cool. So I started with the Xbox One Demo and later on, the full game. Afterwards, I bought the Vergil DLC for $4.99, and Son of Sparda, that was the greatest $5 I've ever spent. I ended up maining Vergil since. A few months passed and I got Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition for the Switch. Sometimes I invited some of my friends to play Bloody Palace with me thanks to the Co-Op system. Now, as I'm 13, I'm feeling a little M O T I V A T E D to finish all the Devil May Cry games. And yes... that includes Devil May Cry 2 and DmC: Devil May Cry.
Quick review for DMC series DMC1 - A man having crush on someone who looks exactly like his mother, then killing her father because he don't like him. DMC2 - May Cry, just May Cry. DMC3 - Maybe somewhere out there even the Devil May Cry™ when he fighting Arkham. DMC4 - Kyrie! DMC5 - Better than sex.
def start w/ 3, if you’re down for the vibe but bland combat go back to 1, play 5 (on pc with mods to remove V) and then finally if you wanna get sweaty go back to 4
Slightly joking and slightly serious here, but I kind of feel like DMC2 isn't the worst place to start. Since you can take it out of the chronology of the story, you're really not messing up that part of the experience. It does at least teach you the basics of combat in a forgivingly easy way. Granted, it's not quite the "correct" combat system, but you still get the idea of it, and Dante's moves are still cool enough to keep you entertained, even if he doesn't have many cool/challenging enemies to show them off. Personally, I was right there at the beginning, so I started with the first game and stuck through the ups and downs that came after. Unpopular opinion, but I loved the reboot and would love for it to continue as a series alongside the mainline games. I recognize that it's a separate entity, but so are the reboots of Tomb Raider, and I loved each of those iterations on their own merits as well. There's no reason they can't coexist peacefully. In fact, I feel like it's potentially a great money-making move for Capcom, because they're not only going to have people who are fans of both, but also they'll have two sets of fandoms in an eternal war with each other over what's the superior series, and that'll drive each side to play the other series to prove their point. (This already happens with the Bayonetta/DMC fandoms, if you want a proof of concept.)
i first played dmc 5 then after a while i decided to play dmc 3 and right after that i played dmc 4 and they were really fun and i am probably gonna do a dmd run of dmc 3 and 4 (i already did a dmc 5 dmd run before thinking about playing 3 and 4)
I think most games in the series would be a fine place to start. Personally I started with 4 and loved it, but I actually think that's one of the worse places to start. I think 3 and 5 are probably the best for a newcomer though. They are some of the best parts of the series, and have the least negative points. 3 being a prequel helps it out a lot for story simplicity too. Although it can be pretty tough, and being locked to a single Style could be a hurdle. So going for the Switch version with Free Style mode might be a good idea. The story for 5 might be a bit confusing for newcomers, but it has that great story recap to help people catch up. It also doesn't have the difficulty spikes of 3, so that makes it good for a newcomer as well. And of course with modern graphics and polish, it doesn't require you to acclimate to old visuals and the slightly stiff/awkward controls the PS2 games could sometimes have. Going for 1 isn't a bad idea either. I think that point about starting at the beginning so you don't miss improvements from later games is a significant thing, but also having the most simple form of the mechanics helps people get their head around the basics more easily. The reboot is definitely pretty approachable too, as it was designed to be welcoming to newcomers of course. But I think playing that one first could set up inaccurate expectations for the rest of the series. It's best appreciated as an alternate take, rather than the introduction to everything else. And even though I said 4 isn't a great point to start, I don't think it's a terrible idea either. As I said, it got me hooked after all. Nero was also designed to be an easier character to understand for new players than Dante, so that's a point in its favour. It also has more modern presentation and control feel than the PS2 games. I don't think there's any argument for 2 though. It doesn't really have any points in its favour for any type of person. I think every DMC fan should play it at least once though, like as a research project to understand the history of the series and to give context for what came after. But as a game to actually enjoy from any perspective? Nah.
I bought the entire series back in march on a steam sale and played them in release order. Been enjoying the games a lot and recently beat 5 a few weeks ago as the main cast and as vergil. Highly recommend playing in release order as going back to the old games even after beating them is a major shift in playstyle. Also i dont think i could have beaten the reboot if i played 5 first. anyway while im not planning on 100%ing dmc4 or 5 (especially 4) anytime soon i might 100% the hd collection as the achievements are fairly straight forward and dont demand too much apart from s ranking every mission on at least one of the difficulties and beating the game on harder difficulties.
First moment when I got excited about Dmc was during Sony's June Playstation Showcase in 2020 when Dmc 5 SE was announced. That trailer and Bury the Light especially was so cool so I searched about the series in the net and ended up buying the HD collection and started with Dmc 3 and then 1. After a year I bought Dmc 5 SE and what a game, really conflicted which is better 3 or 5. To this day I've never started 2 and only scratched 4 but I'm planning to change that. Really happy to have experienced this series!
I started with DMC1 and found the game to be pretty difficult. By the time I got about halfway through the game I'd been really enjoying it but there were a few really frustrating things about the game. Nobodies took about 20 seconds to actually disappear after you killed them making mission 21 a huge pain for me, and since the games was, in terms of DMC3, yellow, many stages were just annoying to get through because of the long animation after a death. And then there was the first phase of the final boss where it seemed like it would be a good idea to make the player play an entirely different game. I enjoyed it when I was done but u wasn't really hooked with the series. Luckily I was playing the HD collection and began playing DMC3. I preffered 1 for a lot of my playthrough but once I got closer to the end I absolutely loved the game. In fact when I woke up one morning with only mission 19 and 20 left I went and beat those, and the first thing I did after beating the game was picking vergil, on hard mode, and beat the game for a 2nd time in that one sitting. It was then that the series started to become something I really loved, having finished DMC 1 and 3 about 6 or 7 times each before I bought the reboot and stopped playing about halfway through. Eventually I got to buying 5 and think it's probably my favourite. I don't think there's anything about DMC5 that I don't like, other than the fact that the 2nd half of the game is a bit boring in terms of setting, since almost every mission after 10 is inside the qlipoth. Also I have played DMC2 and finished it although I somehow found it the hardest game in the series.
people should start with DMC 3 in my option as to get a more coherent and fluid story. so the story would play out as fallows DMC 3, DMC 1, DMC 2, DMC 4 and DMC 5 and never play the so called non canon reboot DMC i am only saying this as in DMC 3 Dante Only Opens his shop
Playing the "worst" game in a series first is weird. I played DMCboot and Dark Souls 2 first before the rest of their franchise. Even after playing the rest of their series, they still have a warm nostalgic charm. But I think I would've been happier with nostalgic memories of good games... you really should atleast listen to fans of a thing when they recommend omitting specific parts of a work for consumption. My recommendation is DMC4. DMC5 is almost too good for a first, I think it might water down the others for them.
Started with 4 more than a decade ago when it became available on Pc... And oh boy, I could tell the game had some deep level of combat knowledge required to properly enjoy it... I mean, as a new player Nero was a good starting point but Dante was absolutely overwhelming in that game for a beginner. Story was meh, puzzles/platforming were awful and the combat, while amazing, wasn't easy. I finished the game and stil managed to enjoy the Legendary Dark knight mode, but that was all, I wasn't gonna sweat it trying to finish it in DMD. Long time later DMC 5 came out and this time, it was love at first sight. This time, it felt good to platinum the game, the combat was so great and accessible, it made buy the HD collection. Played the first 2 games for now, the first was good but janky, the second was bland and boring, but far from being a terrible PS2 game. Starting 3 next week, high hopes. A shame we don't get the Switch version of it, I can see it being even better.
Long time DMC fan here. I started way back when my friend rented Resident Evil: Code Veronica X, which came with a demo disk for DMC1. We played the SHIT out of that, despite the demo ending just before the Nelo Angelo fight (which meant we went back and forth between rooms quite a bit). After that, I ended up playing DMC2 (a rental), because I couldn't find DMC1 where I was and I was desperate for more... ended up getting quite a bit less, though I ended up growing a soft spot for Lucia. Still one of my favorite underrated characters of all time. I was then FINALLY blessed with DMC1 and played the shit out of that. Years later I would get 3, 4 with my PS3, SLOGGED through the reboot, Play the shit out of 4 SE with the new characters and LDK mode, and would pick up the collectors edition of DMC5 brand new day 1 (really proud of that last one). My personal jump in points would be thus: If you're more for chronology and story, then you should definitely start with DMC3 (while DMC5 is the second best in story, I definitely think chronology is a key factor). You can ignore 2 cause it's inconsequential, and the reboot as it doesn't follow the series at all anyway. If you're more for Gameplay, it should be DMC5 or 1 for your first. Five is perhaps the most accessible with the best set of enemies and bosses in the entire series with four playable characters. 1 is the more basic, more methodical of the series, but perhaps the most beginner friendly while still providing a decent challenge. If you're looking for base challenge, then start with 3 (especially the vanilla version)
ah yes talk about devil may cry "you may die many times if you dont pay attention" I. I hate this stupid puzzel of lighting the torch on fire in dmc1. and im still playing dmc1 as im gonna continue all the games in order like a good boi
I did start with the original Devil May Cry, but initially rage quitted against the enemy at the end of Mission 6. I originally wasn’t having that much fun with the game. So I jumped straight into Devil May Cry 3 instead. I actually finished Devil May Cry 3 first because I’ve found the combat way more polished, and I was just having way more fun with the game. But regardless, because the game was still kicking my ass, I actually finished it on Easy Mode first. And after a few months, I decided I was ready to take on Normal Mode and managed to pull through. I ended up doing the same thing with Devil May Cry 1 and 4. And that’s when I truly considered myself a fan of the series.
DMC 1 for anime Enjoyers DMC 2 for Dante costume Enjoyers DMC 3 for best and easy to learn gameplay DMC 4 for DMC 1 Enjoyers DmC... It's a great game, f_ck off guys. Everyone else, you should play this just for cool alternate vision of series DMC 5 - better sound, realistic graphics, smooth gameplay. Not recommended for beginners, enemy attacks are unreadable sometimes and there's too many strange mechanics
Easy Start with 3 its the beginning of the story for the games sire the difficulty jump from 3 to 1 might be drastic but its still the best choice also... Bad 2 bad... You so need a Remake while the others need a Remaster (Remake from the ground up rebuilding with level changes and such) (Remaster just make it look like DMC5 Graphically)
considering all games are easily available on modern platforms, there's no reason to not play them all in release order. You may skip 2 considering the facts it's pretty bad, and story wise nothing of importance happens and it will never be referenced again. But you should play every other game.
Is "reboot > 3 > 4 > 5" a good playtrough? As in story. Because I played the reboot before the first one. I didn't know it wasn't canon. Now i don't want to go back and "re-start" the story. (not even want to try the 2nd)
I remember playing the demo at a friend's house we tried to play resident evil code Veronica and couldn't figure out how to get out of the cell got mad and popped in dmc1 and we were so amazed at the combat we never played anything else all night lol
I recommended to my friend to start with 4. I started with 1 a couple months ago. The main reason I may have recommended him to start with 4 to see his perspective of the characters, tho I told him some stuff about what happend in 3 and 1.
I started with dmc4 last year and then played 5. eventually, I will get to 3 but I wouldn't be able to play 1 simply because the gameplay is frustrating and hasn't aged as well. 2 is on my bucket list for joke purposes
Maybe 3, 4, 1 and 5? 5's plot is predictable, but there are some references you only get from playing the other games. You can play 1 after 5 if you watch the story recap and knows what happens to Vergil in DMC 1. I also recommend deadly fortune and visions of v before 5 for a whole experience.
i played dmc5 first, i got into it because of the memes and when it came on sale i had to get it. i fell in love with the game and after a while went back and played through 1,2 and 3 (havent reached 4 yet) and now i really regret starting with 5 because during my first playthrough i had no context of the characters and story, and all the big moments had no impact on me. im now trying to get my mates into the dmc series and making them do it the right way (1, 3, 4, 5), so they get what is in my opinion the best experience of the story
My first game was 5 in 2020 when I considered it but didn't buy the game so a friend bought it for me who loves the series and even though I didn't know what the hell was going on in the story it was a fucking blast and I'd go on to buy the HD collection+DMC4SE bundle and play 3 first then 1,2,4 around the time I graduated I bought DmC on a sale!
I started with DMC1 and DMC3 after some years.. never knew the existence of 2 or even questioned it!! That's how much of a good game 3 is made me forget there's a previous one 😂 Regardless to say, I played 2 just recently... And oh boy... I wish i never did.
