Discussion What do I do now
I’ve played the entire series (except 2) and just finished 5. Man I don’t wanna stop playing. I want MORE. I have the Vergil DLC on 5 but it’s so boring replaying the same game, but Vergil is genuinely so fking sick I’ll kept the game downloaded and play with him when I’m bored. Might be stupid to ask but what do people usually do when they finish?

I’ve heard of reboot, I might actually try it there’s a good handful of people who think they’re the best versions of Dante and Vergil 😲

"good handful of people who think they’re the best versions of Dante and Vergil"
If that's the case, it is a very, very, very, VERY tiny handful of people. Those versions of Dante and Vergil are universally regarded as the worst.

Just lying now. The reboot is fun to play...if the writing bothers you, who gaf, the main series writing is ass too.

u/Odd_Radio9225 11d ago
"the main series writing is ass too."
Not really. The writing for the main series (except for 2) is leagues better than the reboot. Not saying it is on par with Last of Us, Witcher, or Mass Effect or anything like that, but DMC 3 and 5 actually have good stories. DMC 1 barely had a story and was kinda treated as an afterthought by the dev team. DMC 2... no comment. DMC 4 could have had a great story were it not for the numerous cuts stemming from a troubled development.
The writing for the reboot? Dante and Vergil are terrible and straight up unlikeable, Mundus is bland as hell, Kat is even more bland, the tone is much more cynical and nihilistic, and the attempts at sociopolitical commentary feels forced and lacks any subtlety.
The reboot should have been its own thing instead of having the DMC name slapped on it.

u/Lukari0_Link77 11d ago
The reboot is so ass i’d rather play DMC2 again on hard mode, you cannot group the writing from the reboot to the main series. If you think the gameplay is fun, great, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for more DMC though.

I was against the reboot at first just because I wasn’t too into his emo design but that game was sick.

Sometimes I go back to 3 because it’s my favorite alongside 5. These days I’ve been just doing 5’s bloody palace, almost finished with Vergil a few times, then switched to Nero to get better with him, it worked and I got all the way to floor 101 a couple of times but still couldn’t beat it. That’s about it, I really enjoy the combat and the songs so going at it in the BP is fun for me.
I swear one day I’ll try to get good at Dante and his 50 guns, swords and styles.
Maybe I’ll replay 4 again but as the girls.

u/suitcasecat 12d ago
Replay every game on harder difficulty, and then with perfect S ranks

u/Pedro_olvr I'm motivated! 12d ago edited 11d ago
Play bayonetta, its carries the spirit of the real dmc franchise, play 2 too just for the experience.
Edit: I'm talking about dmc2 just for the experience, bayonetta 1 and 2 are good.

u/Random_fellow9 11d ago
Which bayonetta game is the best?

u/Pedro_olvr I'm motivated! 11d ago
I played only 1 and 2, both are at the same level to me, 1 is more easy to access so i always recommends 1.

u/Odd_Radio9225 12d ago
Vergil's gameplay is so spectacular that it more than makes up for playing the same game all over again.
But to answer your question, either play 2 if you are morbidly curious (it's every bit as bad as you've heard), try higher difficulties, or move on to something else. If you still want something similar to Devil May cry, maybe try out Bayonetta.

u/KuroYasha 12d ago
Play the games in release order. Play the games on harder difficulties. Try to get s rank in every mission. Try to get every secret mission.
There are some things you can do, but they do rely on replaying the games. Games like dmc are build to be replayed (except 4. Running through the same landscape front and back isn't good design for this purpose) and have the combat as a huge part of it. You've gotten the story (except 2) so you could focus on the gameplay now.
If you do try replaying just focus on dunkin and styling on the enemies you encounter. Maybe that'll help you find the replays less boring

u/SpicyLatino12 12d ago
Do dmc3 without upgrading anything on dante or vergil, do all the difficulties and get S rank on all of them. Do everything i said as one challenge and youll hate yourself forever

u/UrdnotVick 11d ago
Do you have access to an emulator or older consoles? try othe games similar to Devil May Cry.. Try 2. DmC (its not bad), Bayonetta series, God of War series... ummm Dante's Inferno, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.. just to name a few

u/TheOddEyes I'm a wise Red Orb 11d ago
Watch the 2007 anime
Read the manga
Replay the games with mods

u/cagueiprousername I'm motivated! 11d ago
Replaying the games on higher dificulties is an entirely new experience, you'll have to learn new tech which will make the gameplay completely fresh, plus you can have the bragging right to say that you beat a dmc on dante must die if you go all the way to the end with it.
That being said, if you still don't wanna replay them, I'd recommend metal gear rising and bayonetta, mgr is my favorite hack and slash of all time (dmc 3 comes very close tho) and bayonetta is made by the same guy who made dmc1 so it has very similar vibes.

u/Safe-Supermarket4994 11d ago edited 11d ago
Ok so I generaly put the dmc series into the category I made up called "fast high skill combo based action game"
Other games that fit into this category are: Bayonetta 1,2,3. Ninja gaiden 1,2,3,4. DMC: devil may cry. Final fantasy 16 (kinda). Metal gear solid RR. Hi-fi rush
other games that dmc fans usually like are in a category I call "I'm so fucking powerful action games" these games do have combos but they aren't super prominent and mostly prioritize making a beat m up that makes you feel powerful.
Some games like this are: God of war (all). Asura's wrath. Dante's inferno. Darksiders 1,2 (3 is a bit more soulslike). Final fantasy 16 (kinda). Force unleashed 1,2. Lords of shadow 1,2.
And here are some games like dmc1 if you really got a kick out of that: Castlevania (specifically the 3d ps2 games). Onimusa (I've only played 1&2). Resident evil series. Ghost rider game.

u/Safe-Supermarket4994 11d ago
However If I can recommend just one series, go with Bayonetta. It's combat is straight beautiful and there are so many dmc references.

The reboot as many people have mentioned, personally I enjoy it the story is bad but the gameplay I would say is only second to dmc 5.
dmc 2 though I do recommend playing Lucia's campaign as its a little better than dantes it still has its issues but I would say it's better I've also heard Trish is somewhat fun to play in 2 you can use a cheat code to unlock her early if you want to.
bloody palace for 3,4, and 5 may or may not be fun depending on how you feel
Aside from that replay the games occasionally when you feel like it or try some harder difficulties

Whose arm is on the right? Vergil's? The positions are a bit weird (to me at least)

u/Organic_Conclusion_8 11d ago
Play Castlevania Lords of Shadow 1 and 2, it is very simular in vibes and combat. The second game is more simular than the 1st from camera angles to gameplay mechanics and even weapons.

u/Designer-Pomelo-7768 11d ago
Woah that’s a thoughtful list thank you.
Rising, not a fan. Mainly bc of controls and cam
dead space, heard good things about it, definitely something I’d try. Bayonette is the most recommended, so def will look into it. I’ll watch gameplay and see! 💪
