^^^ In all honesty, it's the way "I'm always right logic works". People don't play have to play [insert bad game here] because instead they can use the opinions of more popular people to form their own and therefore regurgitate what they say. It's bandwagonning at it's finest.

I could easily say Sonic '06 is a pile of shit, but instead of "bandwagonning" I did actually play the game. It's not that bad. You'll find this kind of opinion-chain with a lot of the popular YouTubers. In the case of DmC, what other YouTubers say in their own imaginary outrage at something non-existent.

The funny side of this being that a lot of the top Devil May Cry players (myself included) and Trustylers actually spend months looking into the mechanics of DmC and what it offers as opposed to the other games. Because hardly anyone within top DMC community actually cares about story, graphics, sound etc. It's a fighting game basically, which is why this whole DmC hate is funny...because that what you play DMC for. You'd be surprised at how many people actually think the DMC combat sucks yet have no idea how to do jump cancels or what Neo_G did for the DMC4 game.

For every negative point about DmC, you can easily apply them to any other DMC game in the series.
Bad Dialogue:
DmC: Fuck you
DMC1: I should've been the one to fill your dark soul with LIIIIIIIGHT
Glitches:
(name any other game created that doesn't have glitches)
Bad cutscenes: Dante riding his bike up a spire in DMC3.
Easy ranking system:
DmC: Broken!
DMC1-4:I made an entire series on YouTube showing how bad the old ranking system is.

I'm not defending DmC either. The game has faults, as with everything...ever.I just find whole hate train towards it fascinating. People seem to take opinions as a personal insult. I honestly think Dante hair is terrible in every single game(DMC3 especially)...but that doesn't mean I'm insulting anyone.


Can't be bothered with repeat everything from last year, but it still stands. The DMC series really isn't that good to begin with.

Edit:
So to go back to

So yeah, I just finished Devil May Cry.

I do not think it was a good game.

Are the others better?

If you're looking for cheesy dialogue, amazing music, a character that's iconic with a frikkin' incredible combo system (DMC4 especially), then you're gonna like the rest. All are fun and add more to the character Dante and world. If you ever get the chance though, explore the mechanics of DMC3 and 4. You can really pull off some amazing stuff that kept the game going(and still is) 5 years well after the game came out.

DmC follows the same style as DMC3, both in story and combo potential. Both are about Vergil and Dante (with different retellings), both have similar play style while DMC3 relies on Gothic environments as opposed to DmCs modernise totalitarian state environment. If you didn't enjoy DmC, then you might enjoy DMC3 as it's similar in themes but the slight differences make it a different game.
