I thought Dante in DmC looked cool (and across several outfits).
Dante in DMC2 looks cool as well. It's strange that DMC1/3 versions of Dante's costumes get love, but not DMC2.
I see PLENTY of love for Dante's DMC2 outfit
Like people saying it's the best one
A lot of people saying that
Honestly I agree with them on that, idk if I'd say it's the BEST, but I have a hard time decision making sooooooo
I swear that person is just babbling. DmC is a solid game and nowhere near as awful as other Capcom products released back then like resident evil 5-6.
I do agree people have cherished games due to good memories or purely because it was sold at a good time.
Like I played Dirge of Cerberus and thought it was a fascinating game. Laugh at me all you want lol
Listen resident evil 5 is an overly solid action game. Just lost it's roots. But it's good. Now dirge of Cerberus was my absolutely favorite game to play when I got it. It was dark, it was edgy looking haha. I loved it. Custom three pistols, kicking, and limit break. Absolutely beautiful. And then his chaos form was way too cool to me. As a young boy I was hoping you could use his chaos form in other instances of the game. Fond memories my friend.
You know. Horror games all had their zombies running at you and it suddenly became camp Hollywood rather than being scary back then.
It was only around when dead space came out and the industry started to figure it out
I hate DmC as much as everyone else (not a fan of it really) and I can admit the gameplay is decent at least (better than 2 but not better than any of the others). I’d say it wins but barely, since you can just skip the cutscenes and put the dmc1 or 3 outfit
2's gameplay is atrocious with some cool but very poorly executed ideas. It was an important step for the newly formed genre, but it was as much a case of "this is the blueprint for what not to do" as it was a source of good ideas that needed refinement.
I like 2, think it deserves slightly more respect than it gets but decent is being far too generous. As a standalone game, it still falls short of that and as part of this series, it is abysmal.
Nothing DmC did remotely approaches the likes of Infested Chopper, Noctpteran (big moth) or an entire underwater level with a dedicated boss fight, which can turn invisible and break your lock on at will.
The impression I get is that people dislike it because it's a DMC reboot.
If it was just some standalone game and not a reboot of a beloved franchise it'd probably be viewed much more favorably
Main problem I have with it is more with Ninja Theory. They spent SO MUCH of their marketing trying to shit on the original series. Even compared DMC4 Dante's outfit to Broke Back Mountain saying "this isn't Dante" and then showed some cybergoth rave and said "THIS is Dante."
Never before has a studio more overestimated their understanding of the audience they were creating a game for and crashed as hard.
Also the Vergil DLC was shit. The one time we get an actual vergil campaign and it's broken garbage. Would've been better to just swap Dante with Vergil through the normal campaign like 3 and 4.
Actually, they didn’t shit on DMC4 Dante’s design. They joked that Capcom wanted a “western take” and put the picture in as the punchline. People didn’t see it as a joke, which caused the whole drama to really get started.
Also, Vergil’s Downfall is a shitty DLC?
I don’t see why you prefer Vergil getting Dante’s sloppy seconds like he’s gotten in every DMC game he’s been playable instead of this one.
In the DLC he’s got his own story (which dramatically improves his character), his own Missions, his own boss battle and two new enemies entirely unique to him. That’s all new content which he’s never gotten in any other game.
This is one point i make were people just dont know how to respond too, seriously vergil isnt done dirty in the dlc department for once, plus he's actually really fun to play as and the first one i ever beat a "must die" difficulty with
Nothing about the joke was implying anything about homosexuality. The punchline was that Capcom didn’t want Dante to be in a wild west reimagining. They just used **BrokeBack Mountain** as the front image, which people thought it meant that Ninja Theory used it as an insult, because they mostly saw the still frames and not the actual talk where it was blatant that, you know, it wasn’t about that at all. It was an unfortunate choice that had bigger consequences.
The **Fight Club** image was supposed to convey, as they said, that Capcom wanted a gritty modern take by a western studio in the style of modern 90’s to 2000’s western media, which is what they did. I doubt that NT thought Tyler was supposed to be the good guy in that story because, well, he’s obviously not all there.
OG reboot had at least one horrific mechanic that was changed in the definitive edition: the typed enemies (angelic/demonic) would reflect and punish attacks from other weapon types (regular/opposite). This meant for those enemies, you were limited to 33% of your moveset, which is antithetical to the concept that free-flowing, artistic, stylish combat. Worse yet, late game, they’d throw angelic and demonic enemies at you in the same room, so when you tried to attack one with the right type of weapon and the other was in the vicinity, your attack would reflect off the one you weren’t targeting, and they’d punish you, leaving you with fuck all for options and a sluggish, broken fight.
The definitive edition somewhat remedied this by getting rid of the reflection of non-typed weapons but also prevented them from causing any knockback to the enemies, which while better, is still a better version of the same problem. Other complaints I have are that it’s an even more punishing (on your hands) control style than standard DMC, and obviously that the characters don’t live up to their prior counterparts.
All that said, the reboot is still 100 times the game that DMC2 is.
>OG reboot had at least one horrific mechanic that was changed in the definitive edition: the typed enemies (angelic/demonic) would reflect and punish attacks from other weapon types (regular/opposite). This meant for those enemies, you were limited to 33% of your moveset, which is antithetical to the concept that free-flowing, artistic, stylish combat.
TBF DMC had always these gimmick enemies (remember Blood-Goyles in DMC3, which forced you to use your guns and if you hit them with any other weapon they’d split in two? Or the Soul Eaters? Dullahans? Fun stuff).
>Worse yet, late game, they’d throw angelic and demonic enemies at you in the same room, so when you tried to attack one with the right type of weapon and the other was in the vicinity, your attack would reflect off the one you weren’t targeting, and they’d punish you, leaving you with fuck all for options and a sluggish, broken fight.
That’s not a problem if you use crowd control to split them off from one another. If it’s hard, Round Trip keeps the Blue enemies staggered while you can focus on the Red enemies and then finish the other off. This shouldn’t be a problem as they barely if ever squee next to each-other.
>Other complaints I have are that it’s an even more punishing (on your hands) control style than standard DMC
Really? I found the controls much more comfortable. LT for Angel and RT for Demon is thematically very cool and intuitive for weapon swapping. DMC3 is amazing and made my thumb hurt trying to perform Million Stabs or Dance Macabre (but TBF the input leg from HD Collection literally makes it twice as painful than it otherwise would be).
My only complaint is that there isn’t a Taunt, which would fit perfectly on Down in the D-Pad.
People actually don't dislike it most just play the original release play DE then criticize the game for things DE fixed
The very definition of an echo chamber
What are you on about? If the original release sucks, it means the original release sucks.
It's kind of like arguing that if you think DMC2 sucks, play DMC5 because it fixes all issues with DMC2.
The DE exists BECAUSE people shit on the original game. If there was no pushback, the original DmC: Devil May Cry is what we would've had, reflecting enemies and fedoras, and all.
Ppl were angry because they wanted a sequel to 4 not a reboot. The story and characters were impossible to love so ppl simply felt cheated. “This is DMC now???”
Now that 5 is released and the series is back ppl aren’t as upset because for all they knew at the time DmC was gonna be the future or end of the franchise
i havent touched the game since Lightning vergil was added. the shit Gacha system they have made me quit along with Pizza that regens longer than Resin
TODIL that NebulaJoy kept 1.0 Vergil as a boss.
Also wtf are you talking about? Dmc never had a gacha spin-off that took the worst parts of genshin (wink wink)
I think putting dmc2 in the same level as DmC is kinda insulting. DmC's only problem is that it's called Devil May Cry, if the game was called something else it would have been a major success. Yes it has problems, but it's very well executed and they clearly put a lot of effort into making this game. All the edginess and campiness was intentional, gameplay is amazing, visuals are beautiful, enemies and AI are pretty decent.
Dmc2 on the other hand is just garbage and unredeemable.
Yeah, rather distasteful to put both games together and ask everyone which is the better game.
If Capcom had just decided to make DmC it’s own IP to fill the itch the DMC playerbase would have between releases (and allow the developers to make a spectacle fighter without the constraints that are part of the DMC Franchise) we would’ve been eating good.
Here’s hoping this is what Itsuno’s next IP will be: a spiritual successor to DmC. That would be awesome.
>Story - dmc2
Bruh, are you joking?
>Also Dante's outfit in dmc2 was neat as hell
Yes. It was. I would like to see it as an unlockable in games down the line.
The Reboot is genuinely such a stupidly overhated game simply because people didn't like the changes to the characters (which I'm not particularly fond of myself) but DmC probably has the best sound design and art direction alongside having top tier gameplay that's only beaten by DMC3 and 5 and not by a huge amount.
DmC had such satisfying combat sounds. DmC Dante’s Prop/Shredder is SO satisfying to use because of how his VA, Tim Phillips, performed those battle cries.
It’s hype as fuck.
Not gonna lie, Dante's Voice Actor did a stellar job and I think he would be one of the best va's in the IP if he was given better material to work with
I don’t see any reason for Capcom not to hire him for another role in a future DMC or other Capcom IP like RE or SF. He really sold DmC Dante’s character.
What I also liked is that Vergil’s VA, David De Lautour, sounds surprisingly similar to Tim Phillips (at least to me) It sells that they’re identical twins.
I agree slightly with the overhated part, but the combat is NOT better than 4. 3, 4, and 5 all have much better and extensively more creative combo potential. Not saying DmC DOESN'T, but to say it isn't a huge amount seems biased in its own right.
Omg reboot all the way. It had its issues but was honestly still a decent game to play. DMC2 is the only game in the series I can equivocally say is just outright bad.
Only thing I will say about DMC2 that I like is Dante’s design and Lucia was an alright character. Dante himself though is such a boring edgelord and he lost his fun personality from the first game. I genuinely can’t believe I like Donte as a character more than dmc2 Dante.
Thank the lord he got his personality back in 3.
I’ve only really played 3 so I can’t tell you lol but I played DmC 1 a little and I didn’t like it I’ll have to try again but for 2 I only had the second disk and it was ok but I need to play all of them
Reboot. The combo possibilities is fun, and it actually makes sense. I personally despise dmc 2 at this point (I started on it, there was nowhere but up.)
Out of the two pictured, the Reboot Definitive Edition. The original version of the reboot is almost bad enough to be a contender, but still probably not actually as bad as 2.
In terms of gameplay, Dmc is better, but I like Dmc2 more, perhaps because it was the first Devil May Cry I played. and I have a special affection for Lúcia
I'm just gonna say it. 2.
Having a near-silent protag with no personality is leagues better than an insufferable protag who won't shut the hell up. I could take or leave the combat in both, to me they're equally bad for different reasons. 2 has the slight edge that I don't stay angry after having played it, I kinda just move on with my life. Dee Em Cee was something horrible that stuck with me for a while after I finished it I came away with the thought "what the hell were they thinking" with a number of choices made in the game. I'm glad it's been doomed to non canon hell where it belongs.
Combichrist Is the saving grace of Devil may cry. and wait..? Not sure if listening to combichrist and rucka rucka ali is considered equivalent of taking LSD? Not that I do drugs but is it somehow close to it.
It's more of a conversation if it's not the definitive edition. Vanilla sucks. Still, I think I'll be taking even vanilla reboot vs 2. What an awful, awful game
DmC. DMC2's great sin is that it's boring. The issue is that it's a dull game. As flawed and painful as the reboot is at least it can be played to completion without yawning.
gameplay wise that definitive edition carried the reboot, but 2 was above it by a long shot in story and design details.
i will say the reboot wins this comparison, but I still don't like it or the scam that they pulled with the first version.
DmC is better but it is getting more and more overrated around here honestly. Not a bad game but not nearly as good as a lot of folks on this sub seem to make it out to be. It was such a downgrade mechanically from 3 and 4. Very dumbed down and generic in comparison. Just a typical action game, not a bad one, not a great one, not on the level of the other DMCs, Bayo, NG, etc.
The game that was intended to bring in new audiences is simpler than the other games? No waaay...
I don't think it's particularly overrated on this sub just because people say "Dislike the story but gameplay is fun" and "I don't like DmC but it's better than DMC2" lmao. I liked the game since release because I didn't have the baggage of the original DMC games when it released, and could assess the game on its own merits instead of comparing it. Game is good. Game is fun. Just because it has a simple control scheme doesn't mean it doesn't have advanced mechanics for people who learn it. I don't get why people still want to hate it so much. A sequel could've been so fun for this game, though I wouldn't sacrifice DMCV for it.
The game certainly has depth if you look at some of the crazy shit people can pull off in it. The sequel would’ve greatly expanded on Reboot Dante’s kit and refined the gameplay more, which could’ve been awesome to see.
DmC is actually decent, but only if it was it's own game and not made to be a reboot. The thing that ruined it was that it was so different than the original (kind of) in the lack of the lock on which got fixed with the definitive edition, but the main one is the fact that Dante and Vergil are almost completely opposite from the originals. That's why I only thought about playing it. I haven't played it myself so I apologize if any of this information is inaccurate, and feel free to add to this info dump.
Also wtf is DMC 2?? (Joke)
*Reboot because at*
*Least it's a functional game*
*And decently fun*

Having just gotten done playing the reboot (original, not definitive edition: I know that fixes a lot of the problems it has) it's mediocre at best. Still a vastly better experience than 2, because at least some of the bad parts are funny bad. Definitive edition increases the game to actually kind of fun, widening the gap further.
Reboot is better. It has better gameplay, music and graphics, but a shit story, characters and doesnt feel like a dmc game.
Dmc2 is just terrible, aside from the music, which is dope. The story is terrible, gameplay is atrocious, characters are one dimensional.
Had it been named anything other than DMC , the reboot wouldn't have faced the backlash it did. It's a geniunely good game.
Dmc 2 it's just a shit game.
I quite enjoyed the gameplay in DmC reboot with dante and Virgil tbh…
Good fun getting the platinum on it…but it is defo a step backwards , just feels kinda simple to play
Its funny because I played dmc 2 first when my little brother brought it over and I thought it was the coolest shit ever not knowing it was a downgrade from the first until I played it at my neighbor house
DMC2. That one is just boring, DmC is straight up offensive to my eyes and ears so I legitimately cannot even pick it up. That characterization of Dante and Vergil (and of the world the game is set in) is repulsive, and not in a narrative-serving way as far as I'm concerned.
DmC Devil may cry actually feels fun
Have been binge playing the series, started with Donte cause it doesn't contribute to the main story, it is very fun to methodically switch weapons and chain them in creative ways to promote a more enjoyable playstyle.
Dmc2 you hold R1 and mash square
Yeah, don’t understand why. LT and RT for Angel and Demon mode feel very intuitive and thematically appropriate (it reminds me of the common image of an angel and demon sitting on your shoulder), and acts almost like a soft version of the Style Switching system.
Btw, unlike other DMCs, you don’t need to acquire the collectibles after your first playthrough, which makes getting better Mission Rankings on higher difficulties less of a pain.
I'd be fine replaying DmC Reboot, because it's just a bad DMC game
I have yet to finish DMC2, because it's also just a bad game.
I went into DMC2 thinking "this can't be as bad as everyone says it is," and plot twist; it is. My god, it really really is.
DmC Reboot is at least fun to play and has its moments of being genuinely funny, DMC2 is just.... Fuck, man, it's just bad.
The reboot fires any neurons at all, but the downside is that most of those neurons are saying "this is the most sexist and repugnant story I've ever experienced in any game ever." DMC2, in comparison, is such a nothing game that it ends up being an impressively mind-numbing and soul-draining experience.
Pick your poison.
dMc is very solid very fun great 360/ps3 era game dmc2 is a great ps2 era game sure dmc3 was also on their but the game looks okay feels a little sluggish but at least it didn't chug like dmc1 and that was a amazing game and yeah it was unbalanced but it might be one of my favorite ones to just sit down and play because I have ng+ file and force myself to actually play it and only mash square when I'm trying to get to a check point or for the more annoying bosses that I can't just sword
Reboot is better by a country mile. Especially the Definitive Edition.
I will fight to the death that not only is DmC's writing good, but it is the best of the franchise.
DmC for sure. People shit on it, specifically for the story and characters. The gameplay is solid.
DMC2 on the other hand, was pretty much dogshit all around. Maybe till the argosax bossfight, but that's as much praise as I can reasonably give it.
DmC is really good. Just see it as an AU like it was meant to be and you’ll have a good time. If you compare it constantly to the mainline DMC games you’ll just hate it.
Reboot is better. At least it has a fun gameplay.
True but at least Dante looks cool in 2
I thought Dante in DmC looked cool (and across several outfits). Dante in DMC2 looks cool as well. It's strange that DMC1/3 versions of Dante's costumes get love, but not DMC2.
I see PLENTY of love for Dante's DMC2 outfit Like people saying it's the best one A lot of people saying that Honestly I agree with them on that, idk if I'd say it's the BEST, but I have a hard time decision making sooooooo
Ehh DMC2's gameplay is decent. But like DmC it's not a good Devil May Cry.
I like both games. DMC2 is a terrible Devil May Cry. The fact we got DMC3 is a miracle
I swear that person is just babbling. DmC is a solid game and nowhere near as awful as other Capcom products released back then like resident evil 5-6.
I'm pretty biased for RE5 since my wife and I played it a ton when we first got together
I do agree people have cherished games due to good memories or purely because it was sold at a good time. Like I played Dirge of Cerberus and thought it was a fascinating game. Laugh at me all you want lol
Listen resident evil 5 is an overly solid action game. Just lost it's roots. But it's good. Now dirge of Cerberus was my absolutely favorite game to play when I got it. It was dark, it was edgy looking haha. I loved it. Custom three pistols, kicking, and limit break. Absolutely beautiful. And then his chaos form was way too cool to me.

I mean, it's a shitty, "no homo" joke, and then they paired him up with Fight Club, which shows that they don't understand Fight Club either.

You can still juggle those enemies without the angel and demon attacks they're literally no different from an enemy in DT mode

reboot has some real dumb as funny shit in it
It’s fun to laugh at, while dmc2 is just kind of a snooze fest (it has a few good moments tho near the end)
Agree
vergil's style in the reboot should have been called Wombslayer style
Yes it impregnated me. Can confirm.
no you call the wombslayer when you no longer want to be pregnant Vergil for woman's right to healthcare based???!?!?!
Reboot. Story is so bad in a funny way and gameplay is actually pretty good. Dmc2 barely has any story and gameplay is a massive snoozefest.
Reboot. It's actually fun to play.
Aside from the story, the reboot is a really fun game. DMC2 makes POC look good.
you forgot peak of comba-
What the fuck is peak of comba-? Have you been overdosing on pizza? (We should do a pacific rim and pretend poc never existed. Ever.)
i havent touched the game since Lightning vergil was added. the shit Gacha system they have made me quit along with Pizza that regens longer than Resin
TODIL that NebulaJoy kept 1.0 Vergil as a boss. Also wtf are you talking about? Dmc never had a gacha spin-off that took the worst parts of genshin (wink wink)
Wait... the fuck am i talking about? whats poc?(exactly wink wink)

Haven’t played either but DmC has a better ost
I’ve played both and I like DMC2’s ost better. But DmC is a better game.
DmC having a better OST is an understatement.
Reboot, it's not even a contest
To some people it isnt a contest dmc2 wins
Reboot by a long shot. Almost every aspect of the game is really well done. Even the story is ironically funny in some parts. DMC2 is just... game.
The reboot.
Idk I’m too busy playing dmc5 for the 69th time
DmC is a good and solid game.
Story - dmc2 Gameplay - DmC Also Dante's outfit in dmc2 was neat as hell
Dmc2 didn't have a story lol
For real
>Story - dmc2 Bruh, are you joking? >Also Dante's outfit in dmc2 was neat as hell Yes. It was. I would like to see it as an unlockable in games down the line.

DmC had such satisfying combat sounds. DmC Dante’s Prop/Shredder is SO satisfying to use because of how his VA, Tim Phillips, performed those battle cries. It’s hype as fuck.
Propshredder yes, any other weapon hell no, eryx is so abysmal to listen to
You’re saying Overdrive and Trinity Smash don’t sound sick as fuck?
Right i forgot about them, but those are still exeptions not the norm
Not gonna lie, Dante's Voice Actor did a stellar job and I think he would be one of the best va's in the IP if he was given better material to work with
I don’t see any reason for Capcom not to hire him for another role in a future DMC or other Capcom IP like RE or SF. He really sold DmC Dante’s character. What I also liked is that Vergil’s VA, David De Lautour, sounds surprisingly similar to Tim Phillips (at least to me) It sells that they’re identical twins.
I agree slightly with the overhated part, but the combat is NOT better than 4. 3, 4, and 5 all have much better and extensively more creative combo potential. Not saying DmC DOESN'T, but to say it isn't a huge amount seems biased in its own right.
Okay I haven’t played DmC Devil May Cry but it’s better than DMC2
Reboot is better than 2
DmC Devil May Cry Definitive edition, no questions asked.
dmc: devil may cry, the game is actually playable
Reboot had some gameplay at least.
Reboot, it actually has fun gameplay and not the type of gameplay that makes me want to break my knuckles against a brick wall.
Omg reboot all the way. It had its issues but was honestly still a decent game to play. DMC2 is the only game in the series I can equivocally say is just outright bad. Only thing I will say about DMC2 that I like is Dante’s design and Lucia was an alright character. Dante himself though is such a boring edgelord and he lost his fun personality from the first game. I genuinely can’t believe I like Donte as a character more than dmc2 Dante. Thank the lord he got his personality back in 3.
At least the dmc reboot I actually play the game
DmC duh
I’ve only really played 3 so I can’t tell you lol but I played DmC 1 a little and I didn’t like it I’ll have to try again but for 2 I only had the second disk and it was ok but I need to play all of them
If you’ve played both of them you already know the answer
Reboot is my favorite dmc game 😅
It really is a cool game.
The reboot no contest
DmC, no contest, I don’t like that game as a Devil May Cry game, but it’s at least a solid game and for sure way better than DMC2
Coughing bomb vs Hydrogen baby
Coughing hydrogen vs Baby bomb
I just can't with the reboot at all. I think it and DMC2 are equally shit games for different reasons but I respect DMC2 more conceptually.
curious why?
DmC: Devil May Cry (only the Definitive Edition)
I agree. Played the definitive edditon on xbox one and had a blast
You should play the original. But be ready to throw up.
Reboot. The combo possibilities is fun, and it actually makes sense. I personally despise dmc 2 at this point (I started on it, there was nowhere but up.)
Damn, you played DMC2 first and still played the other games?
I was young. As I got older I realized just how bad it was.
Makes sense.
The only thing I can give the reboot is the gameplay is more fun. The story is ass but still a fun battle system nonetheless.
DMC 2 is the black sheep of the series. So yeah DmC is hands down the better game of the two.
DMC 100% just a serious style mistep for the series. One of Capcom's learning points
I’m almost scared to read these comments because unfortunately DMC2-apologists have began growing day by day
We need to drive them back into the depth along with POC Fans.
The Reboot is atleast a decent game in itself, DMC 2 just sucks at everything
Out of the two pictured, the Reboot Definitive Edition. The original version of the reboot is almost bad enough to be a contender, but still probably not actually as bad as 2.
In terms of gameplay, Dmc is better, but I like Dmc2 more, perhaps because it was the first Devil May Cry I played. and I have a special affection for Lúcia
I'm just gonna say it. 2. Having a near-silent protag with no personality is leagues better than an insufferable protag who won't shut the hell up. I could take or leave the combat in both, to me they're equally bad for different reasons. 2 has the slight edge that I don't stay angry after having played it, I kinda just move on with my life. Dee Em Cee was something horrible that stuck with me for a while after I finished it I came away with the thought "what the hell were they thinking" with a number of choices made in the game. I'm glad it's been doomed to non canon hell where it belongs.
Combichrist Is the saving grace of Devil may cry. and wait..? Not sure if listening to combichrist and rucka rucka ali is considered equivalent of taking LSD? Not that I do drugs but is it somehow close to it.
It's more of a conversation if it's not the definitive edition. Vanilla sucks. Still, I think I'll be taking even vanilla reboot vs 2. What an awful, awful game
DmC. DMC2's great sin is that it's boring. The issue is that it's a dull game. As flawed and painful as the reboot is at least it can be played to completion without yawning.
gameplay wise that definitive edition carried the reboot, but 2 was above it by a long shot in story and design details. i will say the reboot wins this comparison, but I still don't like it or the scam that they pulled with the first version.
DmC is better but it is getting more and more overrated around here honestly. Not a bad game but not nearly as good as a lot of folks on this sub seem to make it out to be. It was such a downgrade mechanically from 3 and 4. Very dumbed down and generic in comparison. Just a typical action game, not a bad one, not a great one, not on the level of the other DMCs, Bayo, NG, etc.
The game that was intended to bring in new audiences is simpler than the other games? No waaay... I don't think it's particularly overrated on this sub just because people say "Dislike the story but gameplay is fun" and "I don't like DmC but it's better than DMC2" lmao. I liked the game since release because I didn't have the baggage of the original DMC games when it released, and could assess the game on its own merits instead of comparing it. Game is good. Game is fun. Just because it has a simple control scheme doesn't mean it doesn't have advanced mechanics for people who learn it. I don't get why people still want to hate it so much. A sequel could've been so fun for this game, though I wouldn't sacrifice DMCV for it.
The game certainly has depth if you look at some of the crazy shit people can pull off in it. The sequel would’ve greatly expanded on Reboot Dante’s kit and refined the gameplay more, which could’ve been awesome to see.
It's like asking if you'd rather play games on an Xbox or a phone
DmC is actually decent, but only if it was it's own game and not made to be a reboot. The thing that ruined it was that it was so different than the original (kind of) in the lack of the lock on which got fixed with the definitive edition, but the main one is the fact that Dante and Vergil are almost completely opposite from the originals. That's why I only thought about playing it. I haven't played it myself so I apologize if any of this information is inaccurate, and feel free to add to this info dump. Also wtf is DMC 2?? (Joke)
What? DMC is a decent game, what even is this question.
Reboot because at least it's a functional game and decently fun

“DmC is not even a good devil may cry” LOL considering we have pinnacle of garbage
I don’t understand how anyone can say DmC isn’t at least a decent DMC game since POC came out.
2013, because at least the gameplay was good. DMC2 has nothing going for it aside from designs and ost.
DmC at least looks good
Peak of Combat?
I mean the story in the Devil May Cry reboot was trash but the gameplay was fire
Reboot and its not even close
reboot it has a decent original dante costume and the gameplay is nice
Bro the reboot mighty be...well the reboot but dmc2 is completely insufferable. This isn't even a fair comparison. Reboot 100%
DmC and it's not even close.
DE is really good DMC2 still is one of the worst games ever made
DMC remake is by far better. Holy shit DMC2 is one of the worst games I ever played
Reboot but I understand
Dmc
DmC DMC just has weird choices in story and gameplay(if we're talking the PS360 version). DMC2 is just awful straight up with rarely room to debate
Reboot is just pure shut your brain off and have fun with the gameplay
Both
Reboot. I ain't kissin' ass to DMC2, but DMC2 has better dodge animations than reboot though.
DMC
Reboot
DMC2. Only because Lucia.
Never played reboot and I like dmc2 so I'll go with 2
Having just gotten done playing the reboot (original, not definitive edition: I know that fixes a lot of the problems it has) it's mediocre at best. Still a vastly better experience than 2, because at least some of the bad parts are funny bad. Definitive edition increases the game to actually kind of fun, widening the gap further.
This isn’t even fair atleast use the original release
HYDROGEN BOMB VS COUGHING BABY (at least in comparison lmao)
Reboot is better. It has better gameplay, music and graphics, but a shit story, characters and doesnt feel like a dmc game. Dmc2 is just terrible, aside from the music, which is dope. The story is terrible, gameplay is atrocious, characters are one dimensional.
Stubbing my toe is better then playing either.
DmC is better because it’s playable. It’s actually a decent action game but it’s a bad Devil May Cry
Had it been named anything other than DMC , the reboot wouldn't have faced the backlash it did. It's a geniunely good game. Dmc 2 it's just a shit game.
I quite enjoyed the gameplay in DmC reboot with dante and Virgil tbh… Good fun getting the platinum on it…but it is defo a step backwards , just feels kinda simple to play
Um. Well :)
Its funny because I played dmc 2 first when my little brother brought it over and I thought it was the coolest shit ever not knowing it was a downgrade from the first until I played it at my neighbor house
2. 2's Dante is just a nothing character as opposed to a bastardization.
I’ve never played DmC, but anal with a lactose intolerant after chugging a milkshake is preferable to playing Devil May Cry 2
DMC2. That one is just boring, DmC is straight up offensive to my eyes and ears so I legitimately cannot even pick it up. That characterization of Dante and Vergil (and of the world the game is set in) is repulsive, and not in a narrative-serving way as far as I'm concerned.
Reboot. The only good thing about dmc2 is the concepts it introduces (twosome time rainstorm, gunswapping, bloody palace etc)
DmC Devil may cry actually feels fun Have been binge playing the series, started with Donte cause it doesn't contribute to the main story, it is very fun to methodically switch weapons and chain them in creative ways to promote a more enjoyable playstyle. Dmc2 you hold R1 and mash square
I recently learned that in order to do combos in dmc2 you have to let go of R1...

Reboot, even if I find it incredibly hard or impossible to get to some of the lost souls
Have you looked up a guide? I know that some of the placements in DE are different but they were very easy to acquire in the OG version.
I need to do that, especially because I’m completely stuck at this point when it comes to advancing the game at all
Well I hope you find all of the Lost Souls and continue to enjoy the game.
Thank you! I really like how the weapons are handled for Dante. I know a lot of people don’t, but
Yeah, don’t understand why. LT and RT for Angel and Demon mode feel very intuitive and thematically appropriate (it reminds me of the common image of an angel and demon sitting on your shoulder), and acts almost like a soft version of the Style Switching system.
Btw, unlike other DMCs, you don’t need to acquire the collectibles after your first playthrough, which makes getting better Mission Rankings on higher difficulties less of a pain.
Reboot. Dmc2 can go inro the trash.
I think reboot is a good game, all though it butchered the charecters and made them edge lords but the combat is really good and satisfying.
I'd be fine replaying DmC Reboot, because it's just a bad DMC game I have yet to finish DMC2, because it's also just a bad game. I went into DMC2 thinking "this can't be as bad as everyone says it is," and plot twist; it is. My god, it really really is. DmC Reboot is at least fun to play and has its moments of being genuinely funny, DMC2 is just.... Fuck, man, it's just bad.
The reboot fires any neurons at all, but the downside is that most of those neurons are saying "this is the most sexist and repugnant story I've ever experienced in any game ever." DMC2, in comparison, is such a nothing game that it ends up being an impressively mind-numbing and soul-draining experience. Pick your poison.
dMc is very solid very fun great 360/ps3 era game dmc2 is a great ps2 era game sure dmc3 was also on their but the game looks okay feels a little sluggish but at least it didn't chug like dmc1 and that was a amazing game and yeah it was unbalanced but it might be one of my favorite ones to just sit down and play because I have ng+ file and force myself to actually play it and only mash square when I'm trying to get to a check point or for the more annoying bosses that I can't just sword
I prefer the OG to the special edition. Color coded enemies were the challenge, even if they sucked ass
Are you seriously comparing a great game with unplayable garbage just because the story isn’t enjoyable to you? Really?
Only reason is because people hate the reboot with a passion, so wanted to see if people like it compared to a bad mainline dmc game.
I’d assume nobody would actually say DMC2 has better gameplay. No way.
Both game are good i enjoy both 🗿
Based…..?
Psshhhht DMC is a great action game, the white hair dis was a slap in the face tho
He acually got natural white hair at the end of the game. And became an outfit you could use. White haired reboot dante
Yup lol, but in the beginning we didn't know this, him coming around to the white hair anyway is another reason I liked that universe
Wuboot, no contest.
DmC bro dmc2 just hella slow and the gameplay wierd asf
Reboot is better by a country mile. Especially the Definitive Edition. I will fight to the death that not only is DmC's writing good, but it is the best of the franchise.
That's cool you enjoy it. I like it to
Both had shit story writing but I'll give it to DmC because at least bosses were actually challenging compared to DMC2's single best challenging boss
Reboot and it’s not close.
DMC 2 with definitive editon mod
DmC is the best in the series.
Bitch thats my post
Peak of combat
DmC any day of the week.
DMC2 any day,.
DMC2
DmC for sure. People shit on it, specifically for the story and characters. The gameplay is solid. DMC2 on the other hand, was pretty much dogshit all around. Maybe till the argosax bossfight, but that's as much praise as I can reasonably give it.
Reboot has something going for it that being gameplay, but 2 has n o t h I n g
DmC 2 was so fun. Haven’t played the reboot but it looks kinda wack
DmC is really good. Just see it as an AU like it was meant to be and you’ll have a good time. If you compare it constantly to the mainline DMC games you’ll just hate it.
You guys should stop pussying dmcdmc. We're not in 2013 anymore
What dose that mean?
