This is mainly thanks to xenophobic japan. A japanese developed game doubled the sales of a western developed game in japan, no surprise there.

(Unless Ninja Theory is japanese, i'm not sure where their from but I think they are western, right?)


The fuck are you talking about? DMC didn't do anything better in the west, as a matter of fact it sold less in US/EU than it did in Japan. 2nd: Metal Gear is a bigger name than DMC no matter the continent, it was always gonna sell more than DMC regardless of the quality.

What I mean by that is that the numbers are pretty tight in all region excep for japan that are the double. If it was'nt for japan it would have been extremely tight, DMC who still be ahead. Offcaurse this is first week vs first month, so obviously MGR would have outsold DMC in a extremely close future.

Err... not to be a pain but if you're going to exclude Japan's sales for MGR then you should do the same for DMC, if you do that MGR is still ahead in numbers which is his point.

Sorry but that difference isnt that huge...not brag worthy xD.

Devil May cry aint the same without this guy (even if he did make the disaster that is DMC2)

Only reason(s) why MGR sold better than DMC was

1. DmC was developed by Ninja Theory (l0l) (the design goes well with this reason)
2. Metal Gear is a bigger series than Devil May Cry.

DmC is my 2nd favourite DMC game, I was really wrong about it, game is great.


Cant judge the game (talking about myself) cause I only saw 1 hr and 29 min of footage on YouTube of all the cutscenes in the game lol. The storyline was ok but there were so many points that would put it below DMC3, I'm planning to get the game but on PC though. Anyways since I CAN judge the storyline since yes I watched...the whole 1 hr and 29 min lol, I'm gonna rate the whole DMC series by storyline like this....

DMC3 > DMC1 > DMC4 > DmC > DMC2

As for gameplay I go by

DMC3 > DMC4 > DMC1 > DMC2

Cant wait to play DmC :)


Playing Hack ans Slash games for storyline... hahahaha good one mate.


You do realize those games have storyline right? I mean I am playing a character known as Dante who has a brother named Vergil and was the son of a demon and a human/angel depending on which game you played who has to defeat a evil demon king/emperor, a politician who wants to rule the world, a psychotic guy who wants to become god, a religious fanatic who wants to rule the world and not polygon man right?

Not sure why you are making fun of me unless you are one of those people who skip all the cutscenes which all I can do is l0l.

Anyways since you dont look at cutscenes since I assume from your post, here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trK_b0cM_uU


But DMC games are all about gameplay and by the way DMC4 had better gameplay than 3 since you could switch styles on the fly, story is there to carry on Dante from one combat zone to the next they don't take the main role, gameplay is the main thing. Same with my lovely crazy bitch Bayonetta, story was forgetable gamelpay was amazing.

If you want story and cinematic adventure with your HnS and not too deep gameplay GOW is the best but not for its combat mechanics.


Sorry man, but story is the main thing for me in DMC.

 

 

Seriously. I would buy the game even if it didn't had gameplay, only to see these cutscenes.

No offense, but Devil May Cry gave way more than rising. Its DLC will give even more. Rising isn't worth sixty dollars when you add up all the things you get in both games.

Real gaming won the battle of the hack and slash, thank you Platinum for giving us such awesome title and please keep making games that are just fun to play, no bullshit puzzles or backtracking, just a 6 hour rollercoster of fun badassery.

May Capcom see the light and hire you for DMC5.


Life must be really rosy in Ecuador if this is considered "justice" ...

I don't know about that the depth of play in MGR's combat is very well worth it imo and superior to DMC, I've played both.

He's probably talking about longevity, replay value and extras. Except for the extras (Don't know if DmC has extras), Rising falls short on longevity and replay value, except beating the game on Revengeance achieveing S in every stage, which is a pretty damn challenge.

Congratulations to Platinum Games, Kojima productions and Konami :)

This game is really fun, all enemies are fun to fight against, the bosses are very well done, the soundtrack is awesome... specially during epic boss fights :D the gameplay is awesome too!

I really like this game, it sometimes made me feel that "adrenaline rush" I felt with DMC3 when I played it for the first time... it'd been a while since a game made me feel this way again. Can't wait to unlock Revengeance difficulty :D. After clearing that mode and getting the platinum I'll see if I challenge myself to finish Revengeance mode without upgrades... if that's possible to do.

The platinum for this game will be a bit complicated to get... but I'll get it eventually.

Well...you know...go to the "Press start" screen and Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A (Or X O ) and Blah! There you have Revengeance.

Thats fine, I'll take the game that gives me gameplay and double the hours.
