This game was really mediocre
They should have scrapped V and put more effort into Nero instead.
you're just bad, it's ok
They should have scrapped Nero and elaborated on V and keep him and his fiends alive.
V drags it down, I didnt wanna replay his levels when I got to Son of Sparda
I have a feeling the next game will focus on Nero building up his own collection of Devil Arms and stuff.
this
seething
it could have been better, but mediocre is disingenuous. it's stellar in some aspects but underwhelming in others. considering it's a niche genre that's unsurprising but it's a shame that with all the budget and time they had they didn't polish up some of the lackluster aspects like the samey level design.
still the things it does well it does better than just about anything. i find it hard to believe a whole lot extra could be added mechanically, except for new enemy types and a brush up for V if he comes back, so hopefully the next game will focus on everything else
>next game
Oh, user...
DMC5 was a a massive success and the story ended with Dante passing the torch to Nero. There's going to be another game.
The only thing that's mediocre is the plot, everything else is great.
Nero had a ton of effort put into him, what are you smoking?
If you think he should have had other melee weapons besides Red Queen then you miss the point of Nero and want him to be badDante.
>implying there won't be vergil and dante in hell game
>There's going to be another game.
Yeah, a DMC1 remake by Kamiya and if we're lucky he'll reboot Nero out of existence.
It's more or less the best game you could expect. You can't touch the games or fans freak the fuck out but at the same time they're stale and there's nowhere for the franchise to go. It's time for Capcom to pull a Fromsoft and take some traits of the series and apply them to new IPs. I was bored to tears and got a hardcore DMC4/phoned-in vibe.
Does anyone else just forget about devil breakers 90% of the time?
Yes, it is.
I have LONG felt that the DMC games have been carried on the back of their franchise name more than any actual quality in the games.
5 was just...boring, and had its head up its own ass. Absolutely zero characters have any real development that we haven't seen before (besides V but he's "killed off" at the end), Nero is a little twat and his stupid fucking arms are annoying and feel like shit to use but otherwise has an extremely limited moveset and Dante suffers heavily from feature creep since his moveset is so bloated. I also have a grudge against games that incorporate movement controls into fighting inputs, like having to pull the stick back THEN press a button.
The overall movement of the game is absolute garbage, since before the sprint upgrade the character moves slow as balls but with the upgrade they often move too fast for the tiny cramped hallways of the game levels and will get hung up on corners and individual polygons.
The music is...okay. It's serviceable, but nothing more. I do like how it gets more intense and complex as your style ranking goes up, but the problem is that 99% of fights barely last long enough to experience it. By the time you're at SSS everything is dead and the music cuts out since the fights over.
The camera is fights is fine, but the camera when moving between those fights is HORRIBLE. It LOVES to grab my camera and hold it fucking hostage to point it at some really REALLY obvious barrier opening or closing that I could not have possibly missed even if it didn't and I found myself wishing for an option to just disable the camera from doing that. Fucking annoying.
Git gud
I have an S rank on every level and every difficulty and rarely get lower than SS on individual fights.
So fuck off with that shit. I got gud just fine. The game is just not that fun to play.
Yes it was. Is it necessary to create a thread about it?
I love how any braindead fucking child can just steamroll through the game with the supply of yellow orbs thrown at you now. Absolute garbage at the game? DMC5 has you covered, revive on the spot over and over with full health and devil trigger. Don't want to do that? Well just sit through the kneeling animation and a few menus and loading screens to hop back in half a minute later.
>But dude muh mission rankings
;_;
