While the core concept hasn’t changed (the scoring system has, slightly), what has changed is the main character himself. Now put it all together, but don’t do the same sequence twice in a monster room or you suck. Here are some variations on your sword combo. Here are your launcher and your juggle options. Here’s your double-jump, but it only works in certain conditions. This is the style system, the divine force that has nothing to do with what else is happening, but has everything to do with how the player feels about what they’re doing with their controller. More than any other character action game, Devil May Cry really wants you to think about what you can or can’t do as every second of combat passes. The crux of Devil May Cry is forcing the player, through an exciting but harshly judgmental scoring system, to explore the breadth of their capabilities. The combat, while it has seen significant changes, has more or less maintained its core concept throughout. Nero dmc 5 series#The thing about Devil May Cry is that it took three games for the series to develop a true identity. A big part of that uphill battle being a success is how playing as Nero upended the Devil May Cry gameplay style. The reaction to Nero was a far cry from that of “Donte,” but the kid still had a hill to climb to win people over. Bringing out a new, even snarkier white-haired kid with headphones and a hood on his trenchcoat rubbed some fans the wrong way. The people love Dante, and he’s the poster boy for one of Capcom’s most insularly loved series. When Nero was first introduced, he was just as controversial as any beloved protagonist swap can be. “I think you’ll blush a pretty pink when I kick your ass!” Despite only being in two of the five games, Nero is Hideaki Itsuno’s glue that holds his vision for the series intact, is the backbone of this crazy party, and is a Devil Hunter after my own heart. As much as our boy Dante is the greatest of all time, I think Nero gets my Satisfactory Character and Gameplay Development juices flowing a lot more. After all, there aren’t many I’ve spent so much time with. In my case, perhaps fresh off the glow of Capcom’s latest controller-ruining masterpiece, my mind immediately went to Dante. I’m thrilled to contribute to that with the second entry of PlayStation Lifestyle’s “Our Favorite Characters” series, in which the staff goes in on their favorites. Okay, welcome back!
