Absolute miracle game, happy to be in a timeline where it exists

5/10 for MGS4

7.2/10

9.8

Incredible game. I actually might be the most impressed with V because it feels he should be completely awful to play but... he's actually really fun too? But everything about this game captures what I love about DMC games. Nero feels great to use, Dante's new weapons feel like worthy additions to his arsenal (I adore the motorcycle, which is odd for a slow weapon in these types of games) and he feels as good to play here as he ever did. Vergil I still haven't played much so can't speak for him.

Ultimately why I have to put this below 10 is the story just doesn't quite have the simple charm of DMC3, I kinda don't like that I can't just use each character on each stage, and I wasn't compelled to instantly try the higher difficulties like I was with DMC3. I still go back and play more DMC3 when I get the action game itch rather than play this, most of the time.

But these things are only enough to ding it very slightly. Extremely worthy entry in the series and if DMC6 was "only" this good I would never complain.

8.5

The story is kinda weak in the first half, and I don't like V's gameplay.

Dante and Nero are both insanely fun to play though.

8.8

I've only played DMC1, and just for a couple hours

Nominate Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (if it hasn't been done yet)

Back-rating:

Metroid Dread - 7.2/10

DMC1 is "fine" but the series really starts at 3

8.5

DMC1 is a 10 and I will hear no arguments to the matter

It's a 3, and anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded by nostalgia. I played the original 5 years after it was released and it felt old and terrible then; further time will not have been kinder.

(Just to be clear, this is not a rating for DMC5, which I have not played yet.)

I mean I still like it but the game appeal totally shifts away from what dmc1 is. Almost like a different series from 3 on.

For real, I do understand, and yes I have a lot of nostalgia for DMC1, not denying it at all. I personally love how horror-focused it is.

Yeah I'm just clarifying what I meant by my comment-- I wasn't intending to tear DMC1 down as much as to say DMC3-5 are potentially worth playing for people where DMC1 didn't click.

DMC1 is a solid 7 or 8/10 game but if every game continued in its style I probably wouldn't be a mega fan of the series, just a casual fan.

This is in contrast to that game which shall not be named which also has a different vibe from 3-5 but is trash.

As I said, I did not play DMC1 at release. DMC1 did not hold up.

DMC2...listen, I know it's not a good game but it still played (from a control and feel perspective) better than 1, so I'd rate it slightly higher.

DMC3 was (is?) incredible.

DMC4 was..fine?

Haven't played either DmC or 5.
