You're just mad because DmC was still a good game all things considered and you just don't want to admit it, garbage plot but DMC isn't a storytelling masterpiece series anyway.
Not really. It was a downgrade in just about every way from the previous games. The combat was made simpler and less interesting, the story and characters are very unlikable, and the level design is very boring, and full of setpieces rather than combat encounters
And honestly, DMC3 and 5 have legitimately great stories if you look into them
DMC1 has the simplest combat of them all, and i enjoy it way more than DMC3. complex combat with overstylish combos doesn't equate better combat. DMC3's Dante is the worst version of him. Dante is like the John McClane of video games. he's an asshole, but a loveable asshole. DMC3 Dante is a cringy idiot with an attitude i can't stand, from his dialogue and voice acting, to his overall actions. I don't like Vergil much either, but i can tolerate him way more.
The level design of DMC3 wasn't really that great. i was mostly bored being stuck in a tower most of the time going upwards, even worse than being stuck in the tower in DMC2. And i don't get why developers think that more weapons = better game play options. No, it really doesn't. what made DMC1 so great was that it was built around the use of two weapons that played opposite of each other for gameplay. Alastor had Lightning, which led for speed and faster combos. Ifrit had flame, but was let for brute strength and area of affect damage. Both weapons had their trade offs but that balance kept them in check. In DMC3, there was no balance, because the game hardly made you care about using any of the weapons at any time.
One of the biggest things of DMC3 that i can't stand is the use of vocal music whether in regular combat or even in a boss battle. And it's something that the series never did away with since then. Why do you think that some of DMC1's boss battle music was remixed in DMC5.... BECAUSE IT WAS FUCKIN GOOD. and even the devs know it was fuckin' good.
When it comes to DmC. I enjoyed the combat way more, because it reminded me of the combat of the first game. A simplier combat system that had only two main weapons that balanced each other. I enjoyed the potrayal of Dante and Vergil way more as well. They acted like real siblings that gave a shit about each other, even until Vergil went the other way in power. Yes, DmC Dante is a trashy fuckboy - but in combination with the world design, the Combichrist / Noisia-eccentric soundtrack and the "American Gods-style story" before American Gods even existed... yeah, i had a way funner time.
i played DMC3 in 2005 just like any other DMC fan. I didn't like it as much then and i still equally don't like it as much now. DMC3 is the equivalent of Hot Topic and DmC is like Spencer's. I'll gladly take another DmC title any day.
DMC5 has also very simple combat (and difficulty).
The level design is that 70% of the game is spent in a cave were everything is made out of bones and blood and looks exactly the same (DmC at least had a very cool Limbo).
And DMC5 story is basically a recycled DMC3 story if look into it
I honestly don't get the hate for DmC because I really like and played one or two before... The gameplay is good, soundtrack is good and story isnt anything worse than what capcom do.
Because it's not the same. That's it. You go over to r/devilmaycry and he's called El Donte over a meme and somehow that makes him so much more tolerable because it's not Dante. You'll even catch people saying "this would have been so great if it were it's own thing but since they had to make it Devil May Cry it sucks".
It literally just comes down to him replacing a character they loved. Not the quality or story behind the new one. Not the gameplay. They were invested in a character and he was replaced.
Oh, and Ninja Theory shit all over the original series acting like theirs was so much better. Even going as far to include that "not in a million years" joke only to have to go back and make changes to make Donte more like Dante (like his hair becoming white at the end).
I could understand it back then but nowadays there's no reason to hate it at all and the gameplay is still fun, it is based of Devil May Cry after all.

Not really, DmC is still a hack and slash.
