Pre-Purchase worth it?

[DuckLord]

I've seen some negative reviews in here but I am still very tempted to buy the game early, but is it worth it? Is it a bad port as of right now, are the controls bad or even supported and is there another way to preorder the game that isn't through steam? I really really want to play the games early but if I must then I can torture myself a few days for a cheaper price.

Join the Twitch Prime free trial and see for yourself. It's not a bad port, it has some small issues, but whether they will bother you is something that you have to find out on your own.

If you are able to test the game, then pre-ordering through steam is pointless, as it doesn't offer any pre-order bonus. If you truly want to pre-order it though, buy it on GMG, it's 25% off in the basket.

Like I said to the other guy, I can't try DMC1 with twitch but I will check out that GMG offer though, thanks.

Oh. I don't know if VPN is going to work, I just started trial to play DMC1 earlier, sorry.

So tell me, what do you mean by "preorder worth it"? If you have any bonus content in mind then no, it isn't. Simply because other than having your game in your library you gain nothing purchasing it right now. If, however, you have overall game quality in mind then I say yes, it is worth it. Mr. [ELYSEE] CHIRAC will tell you that preordering DMC HD Collection for PC is pointless, and he will be right as well.

I can tell you that DMC1 runs very well on my machine, supports Xbox One S controller just fine and after finishing the game once I don't have in my mind a single thing that is bad with this port. If you fiddle with ini file you can go with 4k resolution, framerate issues for 144Hz displays are easly fixed... I play at 1080/60, so all I did was installing the game and play it. Decision is yours to make.

This is worth it. At the very least, DMC1 HD has been great so far. Not to mention, I'm happy to say that the port is great. In fact, I'd actually recommend going into options.sav and setting the game to 4K or 1440p, as it's VERY light on your system (we're talking 10-20% usage).

The options menu could be better (it supports 4K, let us use it!), keyboard support sucks, and 144Hz monitors have a speedbug that can be somewhat easily fixed. That's the only complaining I can manage.

I would love to see some of those old prerendered cutscenes get remade in the future, but the in engine scenes look great. At least judging from DMC1HD, I can only give this collection a glowing review.

Yep this decides it, i'm going to buy it now hehe, I never really cared about bonus things coming from this pre-order, I really just wanted the games tbh and reading your reply aswell as Bzduras, I'd say it's worth it for me :) thanks a bunch.

Glad to help.

Out of curiosity: did you play DMC series in the past?

Yeah but I only finished DMC1, skipped the DMC2 and played 25% of the DMC3. But I plan to play the series in chronological order (DMC3, DMC1, DMC4, DMC2) to fully understand the story aswell as enjying it.

[DarkJuda On Deck]

I might add that I'm also among those who like this port, and I didn't even noticed the issues before someone told me. So I'll buy it too, for sure. It's just that I consider pre-ordering a bad habit.

I wouldn't do it chronologicaly. It makes way more sense playing them in release order.
Playing them in chronological order is like watching Christopher Nolan's Memento with all the scenes put in the chronological order, it breaks the movie.

[Bzduras]

Damn, I envy you so much.

However I suggest that you play the series not chronological order via timeline, but from first to fourth. Switching from 3rd to 1st and from 4th to 2nd may be a little difficult, as new entries have better combat system, story narrative and overall quality.

Don't worry, the story is simple enought to be understood whatever the order you play them.
Playing them in release is more enjoyable too, since the gameplay possibilities get higher along with your skill.
