I've just replayed the Devil May Cry HD Collection on Steam to complete the achievements. Being an emulated high-definition version, it still retains the same issues as the original... in high definition... sometimes... I reckon I could complete the entire game just using pistols. The artificial intelligence of the enemies is either the same or worse than the first game, the level design is unattractive, and the camera doesn't offer much assistance. Dante's presence feels rather irrelevant, in a negligible plot. Overall, the game comes across as generic and uninteresting. Perhaps it could have been better as a spin-off focused solely on Lucia, instead of this complete disregard. I'd give it half a star more for the look of our 'protagonist' Dante, who is genuinely cool.
And just for the record... this DMC HD Collection for Windows is basically clickbait

Honestly, this game is really just a joke, not really a good one either, I see why people think this game is as bad as it is, and really the only thing that was overly egregious was how they butchered Dante's character at least imo.
Then again for the old dmc games and having to restart the mission entirely unless you had a yellow orb wasn't ever a good thing, I would have much prefered if it was like restart where you were standing or scrap that and you spawn in the room you just entered.
Anyways a bad game for sure.

this is one of the worst games ive ever played, the only good part is the fact that dante can fun up and along walls because thats pretty cool. the combat is easier than skylanders, the bosses are horrible, i cant remember a single song from this game, the characters are boring and the story practically doesnt exist. i played this via the hd collection, and it crashed/froze my labtop more than 5 times. just awful
holy shit what a bad game. unfortunate given the good game that was DMC1. Horrible gameplay, art style is not good, story was awful, and VA work was not on top. Actually dropped the game to just move on to DMC3, and I’d advise anyone else to do the same. Obviously no fanart done, so no bonus points.
LMAO alright im ripping into this game.
90% of the enemies are BRAINDEAD. Some of my favourites include:
- The white wolves that have NO walking animation, the only thing they can do is jump attack, blindly jumping in every direction except for where you are, sometimes they will sit there and do nothing.
- The infested tank that can’t do anything unless you are a certain distance away from it.
- The bat swarms that die to ONE BULLET (big shoutout to the one slow elevator that’s about 30 seconds long, and has a swarm of bats to keep you busy while it’s moving, but the bats will die in 10, so you just sit there).
^ This is not limited to just enemies but half of the bosses are cheesed by either being a certain distance far or a certain distance close. The infested chopper was kind of cool with all the parkouring across buildings, but it still felt aimless and went on for SOOOO long
There is often no indication of what is happening or where to go, and I often just stumbled into an obscure section that put me into a cutscene.
Auto locking onto enemies makes everything you can think of 10x more awkward than it should be, at least add an option to be able to switch it? (just looked it up, apparently you can with an obnoxious input combination of RB + LS, you’re better off just dealing with the awkwardness).
A dynamic moving camera is a cool idea in theory but why does it so often throw itself into the ground it’s like lakitu on shrooms.
No extra weapon movesets/ upgrades?? The upgrades just increase damage i guess - BORING. Less guns as well.
Story is bad and meaningless.
Dante is nothing
Lucia is nothing
Enemy variety is not nearly as interesting. File system is not as in depth.
POSITIVES COMPARED TO DMC1:
Cool sick moves like flips and wallrunning
Devil trigger guns are funny as hell brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
More environments? But theyre shit
More cutscenes? But theyre shit
More boss variety? But the bosses are shit
Played it on vc with friends which made it very fun !
