You don't need to play the other games to enjoy DMC4. Just look online to find out about Trish, Lady, and Dante, and you'll be good to go. In fact, you might enjoy the narrative of DMC4 MORE having not played the other games. DMC1's story wasn't so great, but at least it was told in an order that somewhat made sense. There are ways to skip it on PC like trainers; or the Coop trainer that let's you play most missions with other characters. Also, the game won't get any updates since the dmc crew are working on Dragon's Dogma 2. Sorry mate. V could've been a lot more fun if his missions on DMD were designed differently. A bit OT, but if you want to play through the whole series, check out "DMC: Devil May Cry.". It's basically a reboot/remake of the series that serves as a prequel despite being the latest game. It's basically a reboot/remake of the series that serves as a prequel despite being the latest game. Playing the games in release order would give you the best appreciation for the gameplay and Dante himself, with the possible exception of DMC 2. If you have the time, you should play them in order as 1 pioneered the modern Hack 'n' Slash genre, meaning it has some rough edges in retrospect. The reason I exclude 2 from being necessary is that If you want to dip your toe in, I would go for either the Devil May Cry HD collection (includes 1-3, with 3 being what many people consider peak DMC) or DMC 4. There's also DmC: Devil My Cry, which was an attempt st a reboot after 4 that was not received well. I definitely think it's still worth a play, but unfortunately I don't think PC ever The only problem with playing current releases is that if you decide you like the game and want to go back and play it's prequels, you end up playing a lesser and lesser version of the game (gameplay wise) most of the time.

I have tried to play all of the other mainline dmc games except 2 at least like 5 times each, and it just feels so bad not having an iframe dodge you can use in any direction. I want to enjoy these games, and 5 is feeling super smooth and fluid during basic enemy encounters but bosses just kinda suck with no dodge. No because every game has a different story and still every dmc game teaches you basics about story and gameplay, also dmc 4 is good place to start for begginers because it's easiest game in franchise. Chronological order is 3->1->4->5 And don't play dmc 2, Just don't, it was mistake and it's not even relevant to the story. 2. TheSanderDC. DMC 2 is DMC 2, less said the better. DMC 4 is unfinished and can be extremly frustrating. Play 3 or 5 as your first. 5 is the best, 4 is decent, 3 is just dmc5 without free camera which makes it annoying, 2 is actually decent aside from the godawful bosses, and dmc1 is dmc3 without any styles. According to previews, there are missions where you can choose a character. The game starts with Nero, then play as V, then Nero again, then Dante. Dante starts to be playable in mission 10. I hate it so much you have to go through half the game before you even get to play the character that the majority of fans want to play as. you can, but it'll take time to get used to the controls. #1. gohaku Mar 7, 2019 @ 1:38am. action games and 3d and 2.5d games are more miss than hit when it comes to mouse and keyboard controls. #2. Scorpio King Mar 7, 2019 @ 1:42am. True, its gonna get used to but, people play worse input games like fighting games on keyboards. In terms of story and reveals in the intended order that I would recommend, you should just go 1-2-3-4-5 If you want to play it in chronological order you’d play 3-1-4-2-5 but that would make the gameplay feel horrible as you’d go from 3 (which people consider the best) to 1 (which is alright but it’s the first game so it’s obviously going to be less in-depth) to 4 (personal favourite

dmc 5 do i need to play the others
