Have You Played… Devil May Cry V?No more tears
No more tears
I booted upDevil May Cry Vfor the first time recently. I hadn’t touched aDevil May Crygame since the rather odd fourth one that introduced Nero, a poster-child for emo lads in the mid to late 2000s. He just wasn’t as good as sassing demons as Dante, perhaps a bit too serious for my liking.
I liked Nero in Devil May Cry V a lot more.
Of course, in DMCV you don’t just play as Nero with his cyber arm and revvable sword. You also play as a newcomer simply known as “V”. Matt described him inhis reviewas “distractingly similar to Kylo Ren”. He’s like a terrible Pokémon trainer, waiting for his crow to jabber enough lightning to weaken his enemies, before leaping into action and murdering said foe with his cane.
As you can tell, I was less of a fan of V. But you can thankfully ignore him after a while, because soon enough Dante returns, fittingly the most fun and with the best toys. He gets a motorcycle that splits into two swords to mince demons, for crying out loud. You can go all Bruce Lee with icy nunchaku. Dante is the best DMC boy.
He also has a hat now.
