If you’re on the fence about jumping into this series for the first time like I was, I would just encourage you to make the leap and get into Devil May Cry 5 for yourself. It doesn’t really matter in the end which order you play them in as long as you’re having fun with each game. Like me, if you end up liking what Devil May Cry 5 has to offer, you can always just go back and revisit the past games. Even though I’ve played the most recent iteration, I still would like to go back and play DMC3, DMC4, and DmC: Devil May Cry at some point down the road. Playing Devil May Cry 5 without experiencing the other games proved more than anything that I still want to play the previous installments in the franchise. Still, I think this video’s addition really helped me understand at a baseline level just what is going on in this series and gave me an idea of who characters that I wasn’t familiar with like Vergil were. It was pretty overwhelming as someone unfamiliar with Devil May Cry 3 and 4, which seem to be the two most important installments in the series that deal directly with what transpires in Devil May Cry 5.
#DEVIL MAY CRY 5 REDDIT MOVIE#
That said, the movie moves pretty quickly and deals out a whole lot of details all at once. It also helped that Devil May Cry 5 comes with a video in the game’s main menu that gets you caught up on the story of Dante and friends so far. While there are plenty of twists and turns in the narrative along the way, the core of the story is easy to follow and in my opinion, didn’t require the backing knowledge that would stem from playing all of the other games. At it’s most basic telling, Nero, Dante, and V are tasked with taking down the demon Urizen before he becomes too powerful. I think the main reason why Devil May Cry 5 was so accessible to me despite not fully knowing the series’ lore was because the story the game is telling isn’t an overly complex one. Turns out, this was the right decision to make because after beating the game, I found it to actually be quite accessible to those who are more unfamiliar with the series.

After debating with myself internally on whether or not I should hold off or not, I decided that I didn’t want to wait to play Devil May Cry 5. A very festive game, I know.īefore I knew it, the release of Devil May Cry 5 was upon us this year and I still wanted to dive headfirst into what it offered, despite having still not cleared out my backlog of older games in the series. Even though I ended up purchasing every game in the series, I only ended up playing the original Devil May Cry while I visited my parents over Christmas break. Unfortunately, I ended up failing in this pursuit.

Late last year, I told myself I would finally rectify this and decided to try and play all of the DMC entries–including DmC: Devil May Cry- before the fifth installment released. The only problem was that I had still never played a single Devil May Cry game in my life. Everything about the game seemed right in my wheelhouse from the getgo and it immediately became one of my most anticipated releases of 2019. I’ve been sold on Devil May Cry 5 from the moment I saw it revealed last year at E3 2018.
