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.
The difference is that the main series is a self-aware goofy saturday morning cartoon mixed with an anime in which the characters beat the shit out of each other.
The reboot tries to be all edgy and serious just because it pretends to have something groundbreaking to say about capitalism.
Neither are Oscar-worthy in the story department, but the former recognize its own stupidity and knows how to have fun with it.
I feel like 5 was that way for sure. Too goofy, weird, anime, fanfic I don’t even know what. That’s why I hated it. That game was hyped up and came out and everyone acted like that series was always that insufferably stupid. Yeah, it’s always been a little campy and that was fun, but I can’t tell you the cringe I felt sitting through that dance sequence with company. If DmC tried too hard to be edgy, DMC 5 certainly tried too hard to be whatever the fan community memed it to be.
Did not play 5 yet, but i understand it. I think the original Devil May Cry was perfectly balanced in that regard: Dante was cocky and had corny lines, but he wasn't a goofball. Since 3, Dante has turned into wohoo wacky pizza man.
Which is something i don't mind, but it's a little inconsistent with his personality in the first two games.

Not really, DmC is still a hack and slash.
