DmC's levels and bosses design was superior to DMC5

[Zeretrelle]

I've got to Mission 14 and DmC5 shines only when it comes to combat and gameplay diversity( 3 characters).

The level design is really bad. Roots, more roots, grey, all shades of grey, practically zero interactivity.

DmC had its flaws but its level design was so much better. And the way some DMC's levels got transformed while you were playing them was fantastic.

Bob Barbas and Lilith's club levels were amazing!

As for bosses.. Sadly DmC had just a few bosses, but most of them were better design-wise than in DMC5.

Bob Barbas was really unique

I will always remember Lilith's and Bob's levels, and I've already forgotten what previous DmC5 levels looked like.

I'm kinda disappointed tbh... I'm still enjoying DMC5 , but ....

DMC Devil May Cry was made to exceed expectations
Devil May Cry 5 was to satisfy the fans

Unfortunately it came out DMC5 and I like it but frankly I would have preferred a DMC Devil May Cry 2

In all honesty DmC is a different game compared to the mainline devil may cry series. They are all great hack and slash action games but with different core mechanics and gameplay designs.

Everything gameplay-wise is superior in DMC.
Everything story-wise is superior in DMC5

THANK YOU

I've finished 5 and I couldn't believe how terrible the level AND enemy design was. Game looks great, plays great but it was a dull experience.

Other than a bit of fanservice, the story is simply terrible. It can be summarised in 2 lines.

Exactly. Just like all dmc games. But at least the characters are likeable and somewhat fleshed out

I'm not sure, other DMC games have had more story. I didn't hate 5 but I'm still disappointed.

Eh, more, less... Personally I was never that much into the story of the series, and I kind got the feelings most felt the same. Could be wrong though

Highly agree, DMC was far superior to DMC5.

Bosses? Are you serious? I like DmC, but bosses are the weakest point of the game aside from the ending. Those weaklings are lying on the floor most of the fight and do couple of lame attacks when they are not KOed. The moveset of any boss is super boring - visually and gameplay-wise (you can compare Vergil movesets from respective games and see it for yourself). And why do bosses have such a big delay between any of their attacks? You call that good bosses? Regular fights are much more interesting than these "bosses".
The coolest bosses are in DMC4 though.

Lilith's nightclub physically hurt to look at. The rest is limbo is pretty cool, though.

[Daikatan]

Yeah well DmC is visual feast compared to DMC5, especially in regards to colours use.

DMC5's artstyle is so-so bland. Well, it's Capcom who took course on "realistic grimdark" since RE7.

People play DMC5 for "god tier combat" mostly though.
I see you can finally both pull enemies to you AND pull yourself to enemies there, yeah? What i enjoyed so much in DmC, while in DMC4 you couldnt decide who pulls whom.

dunno, i didnt expect that twist in dmc3 (perhaps i was naive and believable)
but in general yeah what matters in DMC series is staging/direction of what you see more than actual plot

its like mtv clip from classic time cranked up to 11

It's an understatement.
