didnt /v/ used to love dmc5? nowadays eveytime i post about it here bunch of anons just start insulting it. what happened?

You're a faggot.

>>712911659
what did i do

>>712911296 (OP)
It got popular with normalfags

>what happened?
people finally played it and saw that it was just a shitty, inferior rehash of DMC 3 that's going to be 20 years old this year

>>712911296 (OP)
We grew up

>>712913292
>it was just a shitty, inferior rehash of DMC 3
be real anon, its not

>>712911296 (OP)
Honeymoon Period ended and people realized it had flaws. I think some take it too far by acting like it's genuinely a terrible game, it's not. But the level design definitely went down a few pegs, the bosses weren't really worth writing home about and the story is almost entirely carried by the fact that Vergil is back. Take Vergil out of DMC3 and it's still a very fun game, albeit significantly lessened. Take Vergil out of DMC5 and absolutely nothing about it would be memorable.

>>712911296 (OP)
The honeymoon phase saved this game but it also blinded lots of people on its effective quality.
As the other anon said level design was mid, I'd also argue visually was less definite than previous DMC games with more varied environments, it was too focusing on long-time series fanservice without having actual much to say on itself. It didn't really add much to the plate.
On the good side Nero became a cool character to play with its own flair and not just dumbed down Dante without styles and just-frame attacks.

DMC3 > DMC1 > DMC5 > DMC4
Ignoring 2 and DmC for obvious reasons.

>Let's replace one of the most iconic sword designs in gaming with a random ass Monster Hunter sword
You have no idea how mad I got.

vergil hot sex

>>712916189
genuinely what the fuck were they thinking

>>712911296 (OP)
Because once the /v/edditors had their fun with the prerelease hype thread and their postrelease reddit memes, doing their little music videos and being attention whores, they stopped caring and moved on to the next thing they could say "I'm an OG fan of". The game by no means is a 2/10 but it is not a 10/10. Its level design is generic REngine slop, the realistic approach to its artstyle makes everything look like a generic grey mess of assets, and V is simply an unfinished characters that you could be blindfolded and get SSS with no effort. Add to it that 90% of enemies are trash in design and gameplay, the lack of inertia polarizing the DMC4 autists and you have a game that once the hype died down, wasn't really all that great. A 7/10 game in all its parts.

It also became obvious Shitsuno didn't give a fuck about the game post release. Giving only a half baked Special Edition with Vergil and LDK, no co-op Bloody Palace, and no Lady and Trish DLCs even though heavily teased. Which funny enough, same thing that happened with Dragon's Dogma 2, it released, Capcom got their money and Itsuno walked out the door leaving the game with only the promise of a DLC in the horizon. The entire affair just left a sour taste in people's mouths and got them to take a look back on DMC5, DD2 and Itsuno and realized they were dealing with a man who always gave them promise but can never actually deliver.

>>712917180
atleast itsuno DID deliver SOMETHING. unlike kamiya who fucked off after the first game to fight with people on twitter lmao

>>712911296 (OP)
>didnt /v/ used to love dmc5
Yes but threads got co-opted by discord and schizos.

>>712911296 (OP)
Nothing, I still see people on /v/ talk fondly about it all the time.
Maybe you're conflating your inherent faggotry and the reluctance of others to engage with you with the game.

>>712911296 (OP)
/v/ keeps changing. The people who liked dmc5 left and new people who came later hate on dmc5 because it's popular because this is contrarianism central. The people who posted about dmc5 in 2019 are not the same who you know see in 2025 complaining about them.

>>712917671
This, people left because the site became too infested with insincere contrarians.
Normal people who like things don't want to waste their time talking about the things they like with people who come off as unhinged schizophrenics.
DMC6 announcement will probably bring back a lot of people for a time, but of course this time there is also the Capcom/Itsuno hate discord to deal with so it wont be the same.

>>712911296 (OP)
Still those, it's as >>712917421 says (and they've already started posting like the shitsuno-schizo)

>>712917878
honestly i want a dmc 2 remake, not dmc 6

>>712911296 (OP)
/v/ is full of Mexicans and Indians and SEA's that aren't capable of talking about these games like human beings.
They've recently "discovered" god hand and the biggest discord for it is now a wasteland of shitty model replacement mods, self-promotion, and terrible play propped up by "cuhrazy" combo retards.

Probably the worst part, though, is the "speedrunners" that know full well they're using a fucked up loader that alters RNG but keep posting times anyways.

5 was fun, it just made the same mistake as 4 by making the game revolve around other characters that aren’t dante. Nero in particular is such a bad character with such a terrible moveset, playing his levels in 5 gave me PTSD to when I played dmc4. Outside of the dante levels that game is on par with dmc2, straight up dogshit. I can’t remember a single level that was fun to play through or boss that was hard.

Just make a game about Dante and Vergil and leave all these lame ass secondary characters in the background. I don’t even remember the name of the emo faggot with the cane because he was such a fucking terrible character to play as. These games would be so much better without these random faggots nobody cares about.

>>712918783
Nero is way more fun than Dante and the only people that disagree are rhythmlets

>>712919023
TRUTH NUKE
i lvoe nero :)

>>712918153
Why? The bosses and levels were fucking terrible and the enemies turned into super bullet sponges on higher difficulties. I can’t think of anything even slightly redeeming about that game, it’s straight up terrible.

>>712911296 (OP)
>didnt /v/ used to love dmc5
paid shills were astroturfing this place for months, yes. Now you get the actual Anons responding to you. 5 is pretty mediocre, just like everything Itsuno does.

>>712919235
i like dantes dmc 2 design a lot he looks so cool

>The bosses and levels were fucking terrible and the enemies turned into super bullet sponges on higher difficulties.

yes thats why im saying they should REMAKE it, to fix its flaws

>>712917421
>>712917180
>it's the "anyone who said DMC5 bad is a schizo from Discord" theorist at it again

>>712911296 (OP)
They feel sexually threatened by Vergil.

>>712919827
understandable

>>712919489
I will concede the costume design in that game was done well, I actually had that diesel jacket when I was a kid. I just don’t see how they could make that game better without starting totally from scratch.

>Bad story
>Bad bosses
>Most annoying, ugly and reddit-tier side character in video game history
>Trademark modern capcom woman faces
>Piss easy combat
>Itsuno said he was inspired by DmC, proven by Nero literally yelling "fuck you" at the end
What they did to Lady's design alone is grounds to throw the game in the dumpster.

>>712911863
So it's the /v/ipster mentality?
>No dude, I can't play MGR, Yakuza or Ace Attorney because....I don't wanna be called reddit!
faggot though process.

>>712911296 (OP)
/v/ipsters stopped liking it once it became popular

Aside from the shit level design and complete lack of challenge until you hit DMD, I quite liked it
On one hand, the game has a lot less annoying enemies than DMC3 or 4 had, but that also makes lots of enemies just feel kinda similar to fight

I think DMC should go back to focus on one character.

>>712921012
>I think DMC should go back to focus on one character.
Literally every DMC game focuses on at least 2 characters minimum, With said second character being
>Trish in 1
>Lucia in 2
>Lady and Vergil in 3
>Nero in 4
>V/ergil and Nero in 5
