I don't get how people like this, and disliked DMC

[RabbitCatRobot]

Am about half way done, and the levels? are very bland...theres very little creativity here, the music is...ok, pop-dubstep....when DMC had an amazing soundtrack.
playing as V is the worse thing ever.....
I just don't get fanboys, is white hair THAT important?
half the screens are boring like 2-3 enemies spawn, the music doest even get a chance to start before you clear them, I feel like as soon as i get into to fighting the scenes end....
I just don't get how this can be so highly rated, yet people cried endless over DMC when it was better in every way possible.. even the banter "jokes" in this are ...aimed for what? 10 yr olds?
for real DMC was so much better than this.

DmC was a decent game but not a good devil may cry game. The characters were nothing like they used to be, thus people didn't like it.

yeah but when do you give up gameplay for fan-service? thats what I don't get...yeah the chars changed, but...the game was better, looked better, had better music, at least tried something new and was very very creative.
the level design in DMC was masterful, upside-down worlds, amazing boss battles....I did not realize how good it was till I played this ....and it just confuses the hell out of me.

the chars in this installment so far are very stupid,....like not remotely funny. Super cringe worthy...
"she has a nice body...not that uh I was looking"
.....all the quotable lines are stupid af.

The only thing I liked at DMC is the Vergil character. At least this Virgil has a cause and reason on why he fights and it is not about power. He sees humanity as weak and destructive and believe a stronger being can place them in the right path... Just like a Democrat

I think they messed dante up for sure, not just cause his hair color (which i could care less about) but, thats it....other then that one detail the game was better in every-way possible from the action to the soundtrack.
in the end people want fan-service over game-play? that's ridiculous

The Dante moveset in DMC was very restrictive and that's my opinion...

I found stringing combos very fun in DMC , I played through the game on every mode, (except the last one forgot what its called) and i found it very fun, but this game? feels a lot less fun to me, I cannot get how they though V was a good idea, half the time I feel like his summons (or w/e they are called) hit whatevery they want, feels very disconnected.

If you seriously think DmC has better gameplay compared to this, you must really suck at playing games. Get good for God's sake.

Your criticisms are aimed at the level design, music, hair color, enemy placement on normal difficulty, and the maturity of the humor. Whereas what people tend to like and compliment most about Devil May Cry is the gameplay, which is infinitely more complex, stylish, and skill based compared to what DmC had to offer.

Yes, the level design was more innovative and creative in DmC, though no one really asked for or needed Devil May Cry to be a platformer. And if you want the combat to last longer so you can hear the music, then I suggest playing on a higher difficulty, there are lots of them if you actually get far enough in the game to see them.

The complaints about Dante's hair color were blown out of proportion by a game journalists who conveniently ignored every other criticism people had of the game. And if you're playing Devil May Cry for mature sophisticated humor, then you're kinda missing the point. The developers were aiming for stylish action scenes, strong characterisation, and fun plot twists, not political satire or deep philosophical themes.

For me V's companions responded very well on my commands and i like it how different hes combat was over the others that is quite similar.

As for different for dmc dmc and dmc 5, i like dmc 5 more since it continues the story of original series instead the reboot one. I don't think white hair is that important but its fits in dantes head better than brown or black what ever it was. As for gameplay, both was great in theyr own way, the only think that i didin't like was that you ware force to use a certain weapon in order to kill enemy.

OP is a pirate.

No mouse icon and calls people that pay full price for games dumb.

I think its also easy to forget that release DmC is far different than the present patched DmC.
For example: IIRC, the original DmC was very restrictive in regards to how you fought color coded enemies. That being it forcing you to use either "Devil" or "Angel" arm to be effective against them.

If you are comparing the present DmC to the present DMC5 on a pure gameplay premise it may be a bit premature. Esp as we don't even have bloody palace yet.

This game has to be played on DMD difficulty to make it shine.

Some bosses on DMD are just epic fights.

You are judging the game too soon. It also felt a bit lacking to me in my first run. Now in DMD this is a pure gem.

Still, I agree about V being annoying (even though I love Shadow) and some levels being a bit bland compared with DMC4.

I had a feeling that This game would be better at an unlocked difficulty, heres hoping...but am finding it hard to get through it once.
yeah they did not really go nearly as all out as they could have, love or hate DMC that game got level design down perfect.

To beat DMD you have to know your chars well and being able to perform advanced combos (oh well, or brute force it with gold gems).

Thats why on DMD this game shows it true potential, you face tough as nails enemies and you use all your techniques to beat them.

In DMD you should have unlocked almost all your abilities. V is chore to play with though, I wish we could just select the char we wanted but... this is what it is.

Also, if you value details, this game is full of it. It has big flaws, but overall it is a very polished game and an spectacle for the eyes.

I suggest you to expend some time in the void training your combos and learning your weapons, you will enjoy the game way more. I also suggest to remap your buttons, default config is not good for advanced techniques (charging shot whilst using swords).

Lastly, learning to max act with Nero is also important.
