The special edition adds 3 new characters and makes some welcome tweaks, but doesn't fix that core aspect) and the latter is a perfectly decent character action game that doesn't quite "get" the nuances of the series. The former is a fantastic combat engine wrapped around half a game (you spend the second half as a different character going through a lot of the same environments as the first, fighting the same enemies and even the same bosses. Since they're also on PS4, I might as well mention DMC 4 and DmC. It gives you a lot of really fun weapons and options to mess around with, especially with the 4 different styles that legitimately change how you approach combat (though you should absolutely stick to Trickster on your first playthrough.) Understand that if you're picking up the HD collection, you're mostly doing it for this one.
That's what I did! Seriously, it makes a fight against a demon skyscraper somehow the single most boring thing imaginable.Īnd yeah, having played it recently, DMC 3 is still fantastic and easily the high point of the series. It's a bad game where the optimal tactic is to jump backward and shoot Dante's guns over and over again, repeat ad nauseum for a mercifully short 5-6 hours and then yell at people on the internet about how it turns out the game that no one liked deserves its reputation. Just be warned that it's a game from 2001 through and through.ĭon't touch DMC 2 except out of morbid curiosity. I mean, you'll probably not have as miserable a time as our own Brad Shoemaker did, and maybe you'll get over the hump that I was unable to. Still worth a shot as a historical item, given that it's more-or-less the originator of the entire "character action" genre. Its roots as a Resident Evil game are pretty obvious, and if some of the camera angles don't scare you away, the punishing difficulty might. While some people are still willing to vouch for its quality, I've never been able to make any sort of serious headway into Devil May Cry 1.
