Based in the demo, it is immensely superior to the incredibly overrated original series.

Lol, you actually have a point.

I wouln't say DMC was overrated because DMC 2,3,4 have metacritics in the mid 80s range. I suppose some of the fans felt that DMC3 in particular was a 10/10. Which is fair enough. But I felt that DMC was about that type of series, 8 to 8.5 out of 10.

The only game in the series that had a metacritic of 90+ was DMC1; personally for me that is my faviourite game in the series, and for its time it was the only game in the series that deserved that score in my opinion.


Meta scores? Those are just numbers, play the games and see for yourself. DMC2 is the black sheep of the family, universally hated not because Dante has black hair or anything but because it was super easy and the gameply was horrible. DMC3 brought the series back to form with improved gameplay, 60 Frames per second, longer campaign, lots of bosses, just right challenging difficulty and a couple great new characters (Vergil and Lady). 

DMC4 had the best gameplay so far with free switching styles and weapons and Nero brought a new type of playing style with a more casual approach but still more skilled players can do crazy complex combos with him. The problem with DMC4 was that it was short, lots of backtracking and few bosses.

DMC4 best gameplay, DMC3 best game overall.

I just couldn't get into DMC4, primarily because of the backtracking. DMC1 and DMC3 are the highlights of the series for me.....I personally consider DMC3 to be the best action game I've played. After replaying it on the DMC collection, I was actually surprised that DMC1 still holds up after 10+ years, and its actually much better than I remembered.

I just don't know about DmC. I watched some gameplay videos....and I won't lie, the gameplay looks like a mess....but I'll give it a try.
