sooooo, i guess this has been out since wednesday? thats cool. i wanna pick it up but i'll have to wait a bit til i get paid. and i'll also be skipping the second game in that collection because lets face it, it is fucking terrible.

Are any of you guys gonna grab a copy?

Nope.

I enjoyed those games in the day but I just have a feeling they haven't aged well. That is a total guess but it's what I think. Also I'd only want 3 so if they sold it separate i may grab that

I haven't ever played any of them, so I do plan on picking up the collection and the fourth on PC after I beat the first three.

No, I'm good. Also, not off topic.

Yeah, gonna pick it up for sure.

I already got the collection backmon the ps2. But i will get it again when the price drops down just for DMC 3.

I finished DMC3 on an emulator last year and it looked much better than the HD collection version, admittedly I can only judge from the trailers.

Some of the HD collections are pointless because I can just go and buy the game dirt cheap on the PS2 and then emulate them better.

I guess if you don't have a half decent PC capable of emulation your choices are PS2 or slightly better looking port.

I won't be getting it, don't buy any HD collections but even if I did, this wouldn't be one of them. The games are still great but in a post Bayonetta world I really wouldn't be interested in playing them again.

Never played Devil May Cry or really any games like it. Should I start with those?

I already own and played all the games on ps3, but I may pick it up when it drops in price.

What's so bad about the second one?

Been playing this today. Good stuff. The menus being the original menus aren't really that bothersome. Great stuff so far. Just be warned people with headphones...this game is LOUD and there are NO volume options in the games so crank that volume knob down before you turn the game on.

Any other reason?

I really loved both 1 and 3 and might pick it up just to play DMC3 again.

@birdflu777: Isn't that enough?

If you want specifics, I can mention that the bosses are high health, low tactics slugfests, where you are just standing still blasting them.

It's not remotely as hard as the other two.

The story is even dumber than the rest, but it actually takes itself seriously and goes for a serious tone.

ITS NOT FUN!

That's what I was looking for. Thanks. :)

I believe it was also infamous for somehow looking worse than DMC1.

@FLStyle: I can't say for sure, but I think I remember that they increased the detail on everything, but that just made it look like ass on that low resolution. And they tried a more goth and dark artstyle, instead of the bit more cartoony style in 1. It just wasn't as appealing.

DMC3 was great. I haven't played much of the first game but DMC2 was a real stinker.

I'd say it's worth it for DMC3 alone, though. I kinda wanna get it myself, but...money is an issue as always.

In dmc2 they managed to make a game where you beat up zombie tanks and helicopters. Then have a boss fight against a skyscraper.

AND STILL MANAGED TO MAKE IT A BAD GAME

yea, im not sure what happend qith dmc2. it was such a far fall from the amazing first one

You know, it's funny - I remember liking DMC2 just fine and never understood the hate for it.

I think this collection looks really good. Much better than any emulator videos I have seen.

Once again @dudeglove

DMC2 is not THAT bad...

nah, just play god of war. or, as most would be quick to mention, bayonetta.. but i prefer the greek mythology setting and general atmosphere of the GoW series. DMC games are relatively difficult.

OH DEAR GOD YES

@evanbower any chance of me being able to get that copy of DMC3 in some distant future? i was so close to finishing it..

I probably will.... Loved to play 3 again and I'll give 1 and 2 another visit i guess

The wager was that the old woman in the episode of Hannah Montana we were watching was played by the very same old woman from Wedding Crashers. You said it couldn't be her, no way. And it cost you a slightly better than average character-action game!

There's never been any DMC coverage on this site. I'd love a quick look of this, if only to find out what the guys think of the series.

I've been thinking of picking this up, but I don't know if I could play DMC in a post-Bayonetta world. Anyways, is there any inherent differences between the 360 and PS3 versions?

Curious from anyone who has picked this up how well 1 and 2 play still..... 3 I know i'll wanna play again, just not sure how much 1 and 2 have aged

Performance wise, both are buttery smooth.

I picked it up. It's cool that it has 99 achievements like the Orange Box had back in the day. Never got around to playing DMC3 so I am looking forward to that too.

@birdflu777: yes, it dumbs down the formula,makes it easier. Not in a good way. The attacks(both yours and enemies) are more varied but the incintive to pay attention to them is reduced. Its mashy in a dynasty warrior way.

@RebornLS: yes, thats the best way to describe dmc 2. you could just stand in a corner during a boss battle and blast away with your pistols for 10 minutes until they died. no strategy whatsoever.....BOOOOOOO

(In reference to the original DMC on the Xbox 360 version) Controls, unsurprisingly, feel dated, and the cutscenes not running on the in-game engine look compressed and are of shitty quality. The fixed camera angles are annoying as hell for the first half hour or so but you get used too it. The good thing about this game being dated is that it does a lot of crazy shit few developers are willing to do these days- OH FUCK UNDERWATER ENEMY SKULLS AND LAVA SPIDERS. The combat is still easy to enjoy, and can be quite the challenge at times. As far as visuals are concerned, the games runs smoothly, and I haven't noticed any in-game dips in frame rate. So, all told, this is a fine collection to get if you're looking to re-play the original, but seeing as how I haven't played 2 or 3 yet, I can't say for sure whether or not those are any good. Having said that, it's hard to imagine that those could be of lower quality as they are more modern games than the original, and are bound to, at the very least, have the same quality.
