Considering starting playing the DMC series with the recent release of 2 on Switch, with 2...

Never played it on a keyboard but there are a lot of directional inputs in the games that would probably be hard if you don't have a thumbstick to aim away from enemies, at least in the games that don't feature full camera control. Though I'm sure it's far from impossible regardless.

DMC1 is a damn good game.

Sounds like it requires input precision over view precision, i'll probably go with controller then. Thanks.

Thanks.

DMC 2 is so bad, the only positive thing the PR reps could say about the game in advertising is that Dante has a cool coat in it.

DMC 1's a little dated, but still an enjoyable game.

>there's literally a 10/10
Holy shit he's right.

It's the worst in the series, as in it's boring. You can still have fun with it, but temper your expectations. Don't except deep exciting gameplay, don't expect difficulty, and remember, guns are op.

As a newcomer, what makes the special editions better than the originals?

Just bonus stuff. New characters and game modes and whatnot.

They just have more stuff.
DMC3:SE fixes the difficulty and lets you play as Vergil.

DMC4:SE includes Turbo and Legendary Dark Knight mode for console players, not to mention adding Vergil, Lady, and Trish as playable characters. Also adds alternate costumes for all characters.
>in DmC's case, the Definitive Edition makes the game actually not total trash by having proper lock-on, toning down color-coded enemies, and removing Vorgil's fedora. The game's still barely above mediocre, though.

2nd best soundtrack in the series, after DMC1.

Opinions on DMC2 are not mixed. It is universally agreed upon to be the worst game in the series, by an astronomically wide margin. I don't know where you picked up the idea that anyone felt anything for it but disgust.

>removing Vorgil's fedora.
Sometimes I forget what a goldmine of lulz DmC was, then someone reminds me.

Thanks a lot. So anyways, what's so bad about DMC2?

Bait thread

A lot, but the tl;dr is:
Its as boring as a game can possibly get

...

i had fun with it

It just doesn't feel good to play. The animations are floaty and have no impact, the enemies are braindead as well as most of the bosses, the game has long corridors of nothing, and the lock-on system is atrocious.

I didn't see any other DMC thread up so I'll ask here. I just finished my first playthrough of 5, what button mapping do people do for Nero? I had it like I did in 4 with Blue Rose on the right trigger, but with DT also thrown in the mix I figure there's other ways.

It is truly a cringeworthy experience. The dude isnt "bad" per say but its just unwatchable, he is so full of himself and anti-fun
Called dmc3 and dmc3dante a cringefest and praised dmc2 for some ungodly reason

Yeah I remember that, reminds me a lot of Icy Calms autistic tyrade against DMC3.

For me, its (ps4 controller):

The director only had 4 months to work on it and the engine wasn't up to snuff to boot.

DMC3 Special Edition exists
dont even bother

It's the extra costume she wears when you have the special costumes with Dante or Vergil. Theoretically she'd use that look around DMC1, but it doesn't show in the anime and she instead dresses like a school girl despite being in like her mid twenties.

you retard, all of the inputs work just fine, the only exception is BTF being a little weird but its not hard to get used to

t. played all the games on keyboard

Mixed? what the fuck is wrong with you

All she really needs in my opinion is a leather jacket, I dunno if Itsuno keeps her outfit relatively the same out of respect for 1 or because he can't figure out what she should wear.

when I heard DMC 5 was about to drop, I played through 1-4 and had never played 1 or 2

1 is a little dated but fun
2 is actually worse than what people say. it's painfully boring
3 Special Edition is incredible
and 4 Special Edition is very, very good
haven't had enough time playing 5 to really rate it but i enjoy it behind 3 and 4

dmc 2 has the best gameplay in the original trilogy but storyfags will keep on hating regardless. ignore them and enjoy the most underrated game on the ps2

>mfw unironically like subhuman now
It gets me pumped in combat so much, that and Crimson Cloud. Devil Trigger gets me fucking hyped too, but not in the same way.

Same here, they both grew into me, I think they are great songs that mix well with gameplay, but on their own they are lackluster, Devil Trigger in the other hand works both ways.

How long will Capcom and Itsuno keep blueballing us?

2020

I am hoping a tease/trailer for the VGA's, if not hopefully DMC5 gets nominated, there is no way in hell it wins GOTY, but just being nominated would go a long way for sure.

I know it's Devil May Cry so you gotta make Dante....but why the fuck does Trish have Dante's traditional moveset and even animations?

Skip 2 play 3SE, 4SE, and 5. You can play DMC1 but its a bit simple compared to the other games. Avoid DmC

DmC aint that bad if you only focus on it as a game and ignore the story completely, hell i would consider it one of the best (western) action games out there.

Every time we post about Vergil on Itsuno's account it's another year of waiting.

2 is rather boring and monotonous. As a first DMC game it used to be passable but standards have risen quite a bit and today it might not be the best starting point. I'd advice waiting for a sale if you are really interested.

A tease at VGA isn't bad actually and it's pretty close as well. Hopefully the euros spoil it much earlier like they did last year.

I love all 3 songs, especially because each one is a different genre of music.

Attached: EEnybxuVUAEWyo7.jpg (2048x1152, 255K)

It's so easy to get SSS as V but god damn it still feels great because of the music

Well, in DMC2 they just made Trish have Dante's moveset from DMC1, ironically making her the most fun character in that game. In DMC4:SE, it's mostly making use of what budget they had.

Attached: Trish_DMC.jpg (2000x2606, 214K)

Shitty combat, shitty music, clunky as fuck and the most weird game of the franchise, why would someone play devil may cry 2? just play the first one and then go for dmc 3, 4 and 5.
it's not even worth dood...

There's still TGS right guys?

Well VGAs for sure...

No that fight actually has some cohesion and sense to it, the worst bosses are the underwater fish monster and the moth.

it’s complete shit despite what the contrarians here would like you to believe. dante’s design is edgy and the music is just okay but forgettable. just because those 2 aspects aren’t entirely awful compared to the rest of the game, retards think that means they are fantastic. play it though because it will make you appreciate 3 more and the game is short anyway. play the collection not the individual games on switch

why would you play it more than once

Lucia's DMD mode is ten times worse than Dante's full stop desu, especially because of the wack ass levels and I swear she does less damage.

it’s an awful design. the vest is what a 14 year old would think is cool

Its true
Sometimes even enemies will if they are close to a wall, that means they end up below the map and you have to restart also

The (many) times it happened to me it wasnt even because of an enemy attack
sometimes it was when landing from a jump and others it was just in the middle of a ground combo

RIP

>but people's opinions on it seem mixed
Don’t fucking lie to me faggot
If you’re gonna make a bait thread make it less obvious

I just started 3 after finishing the first 2, should I feel bad for not getting good rankings? I'm getting consistent B's in 3 while in 1 and 2 I got mostly Cs. I'm not dying or anything but I always feel like I should be getting better ranks.

the ranking in 2 is literal fucking garbage
missions will be literally only a boss fight and then end before you can pick up the orbs
I was almost tempted to think you couldn't S ranks some of them, but I must be wrong. didn't test it because 1. I'm not masochistic enough 2. no mission select

You shouldn't worry about ranks on your first playthough, just focus on having fun and enjoy the ride.

But user, 2 does have mission select

Attached: maxresdefault.jpg (1280x720, 65K)

You only worry about rankings after playing through once and unlocking all your shit

the ranking sistem in 1 mostly depends on completion time if i remember correctly
Dont sweat it
For dmc3, 4 and 5, A&B ranks are acceptable in your first playthrough, because you dont know what youre doing and dont have many moves and weapons

I think you should ignore the fags that just say "skip 1 and go straight to 3". I think you should give 1 a try, and if you don't like it then you should go to 3

this

>skip 1
such people should be beaten Insha'Allah

It's almost a crime to skip 1
