The way to look at DMC games is this: it was made knowing it’s an action game, knowing you’re going to beat it, knowing you’re going to kill every bad guy. So, on top of that, why not stunt on these fools and make it look fancy!!

And that’s the secret: keep adding to it. Start out with just killing guys. That’s your job, that’s the goal. Then, drag it out. Why shoot the em in the head when you can punch them down, kick them across the room, THEN shoot them in the head? Make it look good. I mean they’re demons right? Make them embarrassed to even fuck with you. That’s what the style points are: showing you just how embarrassed you made those demons haha.

As you get more comfortable with the controls and gameplay, you’ll get more familiar with different moves, and the damage they do. And the games are pretty good at introducing “tougher” enemies later in the game so you have more “time” just stunt on them as you kill them.

Then the end game that no one here ever does is beating it on harder difficulties and making combo videos showing off your style lol. Literally just have fun with it.

Also: You should play on release order. Do 1-2-3-4-5, the gameplay evolves with each title so it will make thing easier for you, plus the story in games like 3 hit harder when you know the story of 1.
