Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry which do you prefer?

I am supposed to be objective so i'll say that both are awesome.

Please explain why you prefer one over the over. Keep the negatives to a minimum.

DMC 1 + 3 > NG Series.aaronmullan

QFT.

Both great series, but DMC wins.

Hmm both are great games but I am leaning toward Ninja Gaiden more, purely due to the fact that I prefer the gameplay more than the DMC ones.

Both are great. Ninja Gaiden is the best action series ever created, though. The gameplay in NG is unrivaled, and Ryu is a better character than Dante.

Both are great, however, DMC2 was a mistep.

As far as DMC goes though, it does get a LOT of mucho credit for getting the genre of stylish 3D action started off.

NG is great though. :)

DMC1>NG>DMC3>>>>NG2=DMC4>>>>DMC2

NG>DMC. NG has way better combat.

and 4 is awesome as well as long as you know how to play without button smashing. on the fly weapon switching, on the fly style switching, tons of weapons, awesome aerial combat moves with nero, world leader boards. The game is so much more technical than ninja gaiden. Ninja Gaiden 1 sucked, 2 so far seems better, but I'ma have to go with DMC.

NG>DMC. NG has way better combat.

maybe if you just button smash, but if you actually know how to play both games correctly, dmc offers so much more in terms of combat.

Last gen, NG=DMC > DMC3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>DMC2.

This gen, DMC4 >>>>> NG2.

NG2, while not nearly as big a step backwards as DMC2 was to DMC, was still a step in the wrong direction.

Neither. NG died for me after NG Black (never beaten or care enough to)

DMC died for me after DMC 1.

dmc,
being able to jumpcancel justabout every move and equip FOUR weapons at the same time makes for some sick comboing

im currently replaying sigma and

the camera is super fustrating and by far the most lethal enemy feels like it will never allow more than 2 enemys on screen at once
having to constantly head into the pause screen to swap anything really breaks up the pace
The game freezes every 8 minutes for "loading" half the time MID COMBAT!
Being forced to play as rachel

NG gives you a TON of consumables, find a new potion every 3 minutes it feels like whereas in dmc your expected to live on enemy health drops alone.
unable the cancel attacks in NG for a quick dodge takes some getting used to
NG's dial a combo system is very restrictive compared to DMC's 1-button-inputs that allows for alot of stylish free****comboing

I like them both, but I'll give the edge to NG.

I defi. agree.

DMC series have much, more better and bigger storyline with I think stronger and poweful gameplay that is actually very fun to see & play.

NG2, while not nearly as big a step backwards as DMC2 was to DMC, was still a step in the wrong direction.

DMC3:GH (Virgil FTW)< NG1 + NG2 Still love all them though

DMC.

DMC3 was one of my favorite games of all time. I was so psyched to see DMC4's teaser's about a guy "needing more power." I was like, OH DAYUM Virgil is Back!!!!!!!

...but not it's about some dude named Nero :| Way to throw a curveball there capcom.

Nero isn't that bad a character, but Dante and Virgil destroys his coolness in every way.

Ninja gaiden. Black is one of my favourite games ever.

I loved NGB and DMC last gen, but did not like NG2 or DMC4 this gen at all.

I disagree on the combat part. In NG Black if you died it was your fault. In NG2, you could do everything right, but because there were so many cheap enemy tactics and unblockable attacks you would still die (ie. enemy explodes after dying with no warning killing you). I got fed up with it and didn't even finish the game. A shame too as up until this point the NG series was pretty much perfect IMO.

I don't think I've played enough DMC to make a decision but I love Ninja Gaiden. First and second ones were super fun for me. DMC from what I've played just wasn't as fun for me.

definitely NG cause I like what Team Ninja does graphics wise

dmc has a better story so dmc 1,3 and even 4

Ninja gaiden. Black is one of my favourite games ever.

DMC wins here.

neither, i'm burnt out on both series

i keep trying them though, just in case something changes

DMC.. both GOW is the king IMO.

Both are great. Ninja Gaiden is the best action series ever created, though. The gameplay in NG is unrivaled, and Ryu is a better character than Dante.

Yea even though he does nothing that a real ninja is supposed to do and the combat is fast with all flash, no substance. Terrible character choice for an action game if you ask me. atleast they give reasons for Dantes abilites. no wonder that crap Dev quit.

Ninja Gaiden has the better combat by a good mile. But DMC has always been a ton of fun mostly because of the awesome that is Dante.

omg I got DMC 4, I hate it soooo damn much. The story is wtf, at least NG storys are just a blatent excuse for the gameplay and levels. The combat is awful, theres very little depth. Also cameras no better because there are silly forced platform sections and when the camera angle changes for a new screen or section of the platform, the controls seem to go in a different way (Resident Evil style, going from room to room).

Even if older DMCs have better story (riiiiiight) and level design then DMC 4, if it uses the same combat and has the same camera issues, I won't enjoy it.

I can't believe the fanboys even cared about this going multiplat. DMC is what I call style over substance like it's not even funny, but imo thats Capcom this gen. I've been so unimpressed with them.

It was harder than NG I think, in NG you could use the flying swallow against anyone, but it's harder to spam moves in NGB. Maybe in someways it was harder and others easier. It's been a long time since I played the very first version.

Personally always prefared the DMC series... Am much more interested in its story & characters..
