Devil may cry- my friend recently introduced me to this game, and after watching videos It looks pretty awesome. The problem is I don't know If its good enough to buy DMC3 right now, or wait till Q1 2008 to get DMC4. Thoughts on the game are all appreciated.

I was thinking of buying 1, 2, and 3 before I get 4. I have never played any of em, not sure if its worth it..... but I found this set for $30:

What do you guys think? I like Ninja Giaden and God of War so do you recommend me picking up the DMC's. Sorry to intrude TC :P

Whats the point of playing DMC4 if you didn't play DMC1 and DMC3?

The story are heavily connected FYI. Pick up that boxset and forget DMC2. DMC3 is awesome.

Alright. What order should I play them so the story makes the most sense, like what order do they go chronologically?

quite obviously they'd go 1-4...but .... I've heard Devil may cry 2 isn't worth playing. 1 is awesome, because its the origional, and 3 is good (latest thing out) , whatever I'll probably get the boxset, its my birthday saturday so I get whatever I want! lol jk.

DMC3 is the best in the series, and as far as u'm concerned it has the best combat system in a game to date. it's definitely worth getting

ok 1st of all skip dmc2 completely...that was a piece of crap. good now that we've gotten that out of the way if u want to play it chronologically play DMC 3 (get the Special Edition if u can), then play DMC1. However, they imporved upon the gameplay in DMC 3 so much over 1 imo that if u play DMC 3 then go back to DMC 1 u may find it a bit slow in comparison to 3, but its up to you - both rly great games.

Stop saying skip DMC2! If I'm paying for it I'll dam well be playing it. How bad can it be, its part of the story isn't it? What is so drastically different and horrible that the game should be totally left aside and disregarded? Also does anyone know if its the special edition of DMC3 in that box set? I can't tell...

OKAY OKAY...if they r including DMC2 in the boxet might as well play it and so on...I say play it last! I say this so that u dont get turned off of the series and leave it half way thru. So enjoy 1 and 3...then go ahead and play 2 etc...

What people mean by "skip" DMC2 is that don't pay so much attention to it. Beat the game and be done with it. Its not bad compared to many other action games, but when compared to DMC1 and DMC3.... its utter garbage. Why? The combat system and gameplay has been too simplified. Enemies die so easily that you can literally spam Ebony and Ivory all day and still beat the game(exceptsome specific bosses). Dante is so damn powerful that it is a joke, making the game too easy and not having a challenge. Something the DMC series is all about.

The annivesary box set comes with DMC3: SE. Don't worry.

DMC 2 is not worth the box it comes in. Way to easy, Dante acts 'tamed', 2 short, areas to big, and it just plain sucks. 1 and 3 are worth the time to play.

well they are telling you to skip dmc 2 because the storyline in that occurs around or after dmc 4 (though i'm not fully sure on this)

also dmc 2 isnt al that bad from my experience, and no i didnt see dmc 3SE in that box set.

I'm pretty sure DMC2's story is omited.... from the series. I recall an inside joke in another Capcom game hinting as such.... Just don't remember what game it was.Might have beenViewtiful Joe....

Im the same as you man. i want to eventually try 2, but everyone just says stay away from it. You def cannot go wrong with the boxset tho. 1&3 are sweet. It would be cool if 4 brought back Nelo Angelo. He was awesome.

Do you think its worth it tho? It would be like $20 more if I was to buy the 5th anniversary collection. Are the extras in the SE really that good? Like would I regret not buying the SE?

The order: DMC3, DMC1, DMC4, then DMC 2.

I agree with many on this board... Devil May Cry is a great game! It is one of the top 10 PS2 games of all time (Metacritic.com). DMC three is great but the original is very, very cool. Playing DMC after playing DMC3 will make one seem like an inferior game when that is not the case at all. I recommend the following order......DMC1, DMC3, DMC2 and DMC4 when it arrives.

By the way, you could play as three or four different characters in DMC 2. It also first introduced the Bloody Palace in the series. This game is more focused toward brutal fighting gameplay. Less of a storyline yet more of the same. All three offer varying power-up abilities and each offer something different to the player.
