Devil May Cry Series VS. God Of War Series

I have alot more fun with God of War.

Those who get to play both will say gow, those who cant get both will say DMC, thats my guess based on what I've seen lately, With Infamous Vs Prototype threadsTheOldOlder

I thought the first DMC was awesome and thoroughly enjoyed playing it. However I feel they lost the edge in the 2nd and 3rd. I bought the 4th and thought it was quite "meh". The story has gotten a little confusing and the challenge has fallen down a peg or two.

With GoW, I think that the challenge is certainly there in the combat and the puzzle aspect. I think the story has remained a little more solid aswell.

GoW for me, easily.

DMC 3 > God of War 1 or 2

God of War Series > DMC Series

Devil May Cry combat is better than GOW.

i guess it just comes down to what time period you want your button masher set in.

Yeah, but the next title to look out for is WET.

God of War series by far!

gow series

I'm surprised anyone has chosen GoW. It's just so, SO shallow and dull. It lacks any style or epicness. Perhaps people mean Gears of Wars instead?karriston

Devil May Cry 3 focused on the styl It built its combat system around doing insane moves. The question here wasn't "Can I kill this guy?" but rather "How can I kill this guy while keeping the meter as high as possible and looking as cool as possible?" With 5 weapons, 6 styl, on the fly weapon switch, it became a pure freestyl action game.

Ninja Gaiden/Black/Sigma focused on the other side of the spectrum. It builds its combat specifically around figuring out an enemies tactic, and finding the best way to get through that. This becomes even more apparent when you go on higher difficulties, when it introduces new enemies with new abilities that render you previous tactics useless, forcing you to keep thinking of new strategies every step of the way. It focused on complex enemies, intricate strategies, and, above all, skill. Like DMC3 is the epitome of freeform combat, this is the epitome of tactical combat, and my personal favorite.

God of War (the series) did nothing gameplay wise. It's combat was bland, but flashy. It had a gripping story, wonderful musical score, amazing art direction, and visually orgasmic QTE. However, gameplay wise, the thing any good pure action game fan should focus on, is very lacking. Which is why it shouldn't be compared to action legends like DMC or NG. While it may have several action elements, it has just as many adventure elements, more than gameplay ones even. So, comparing them to pure action games is like comparing Bioshock and Call of Duty simply because they are both FPS's.

I found this in the IGN forum., and I completely agree with this post.

DMC - a real action game

GOW is a casual buttonmasher with stupid enemies and a great story

[QUOTE="kidonre"][QUOTE="Soulja_West"] Button mash on god mode then reply back.Soulja_West

[QUOTE="Soulja_West"][QUOTE="kidonre"] but it is a shadow button masher in normal difficulty? And normal is what everyone plays on. :lol: Its kinda sad that I have to choose the highest difficulty to get any challenge out it, the enemies just do more damage, their AI doesn't change like NG.kidonre

[QUOTE="kidonre"][QUOTE="Soulja_West"] Not everyone plays on normal. I don't play any of my games on normal and that still doesn't change the fact that you can "NOT" button mash on god mode.Soulja_West

GOW all day.

god of war 3 for me...dmc was okay...but something about god of war that got me back into action games

both series are good but gow is better

God of War easily. I remember when most everyone would have voted God of War. but i guess that was when everyone had a ps2. Those who donthave aps3 hate everything about it now.

Example: inFamous vs Prototype

Those who get to play both will say gow, those who cant get both will say DMC, thats my guess based on what I've seen lately, With Infamous Vs Prototype threadsTheOldOlder

Indeed

Basically it's like this....People who can't handle DMC's Stylish, challenging gameplay like GOW better. Both good franchises though. DMC Pwn's it hands down.

[QUOTE="karriston"]Ninja Gaiden's a mess too, but it's far more enjoyable than God of Snore. I'm still in shock that anyone would pick the shallow block-a-thon of GoW. DMC oozes style and cool effortlessly from all its orifices, GoW needs naked woman and a homo-erotic main character to sell anything. I got through both GoW I and II by spamming the same move, it's ridiculous. DMC on the other hand NEEDS skill. You have to pay attention, you have to dodge, you have to know thy enemy and timing has to be near perfect, especially on the harder difficulties. Nothing makes you feel like a man more than completing Dante Must Die mode. All GoW offers is a bastardised mix of Greek mythology and shiny weapons. The enemies are horrible and the boss fights rely too much on QTEs. It's got no skill or style. It's just dull.kidonre

OMG THIS is so freakin true. Took more than words out my mouth! :lol::lol::lol:

I have never played a God of War game, but DMC sucks.
