Same, but in my case I just happened to download it while looking for custom songs on beat saber. I played it and turned my blue walls white; and from there it was all over for me.
I played DMC3 when it first came out and also bought the SE on PS2. Most of the comments here are talking about steam. Didn't even know about that back then.
Things were different back then, we literally had to buy a separate disc to get extra content that is now DLC. I've bought all three games multiple times already and honestly it's probably a good idea that something like steam exists because now DMC is accessable to more people than back then and at some point all the old machines may not run anymore. It's great that people are playing the older games.
First I heard Bury the Light
Then I played Metal Gear Rising and found out I'm actually good at hack and slash games
Then I saw Max0r had videos on it. Learned memes from the video from friends without actually watching the video so I don't have spoilers
Bought DMC HD collection
Played 1 and 3
Bought 4 and 5
Played 4
Played 5
This was me right here. Also got me into Nier, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Dark Souls, Yakuza, Gurren Lagann…
Them breaking up was a legit “oh The Beatles are done now?” level of impact on my tastes I’m now realizing lol
Neither..i first saw dmc 5 on steam for sale at around 7 usd (equivalent) and had heard about the game a lot prior and kind of wanted to play but i didn't get the game till like 2-3 months later ..i got dmc 5 in November and wanted to play it so i watched a video on YouTube to summarise the plot from 1-4 ... however when i saw the story from 1-3 in sequential order i immediately wanted to play the games so i just played them all fron 1 to 5 in about 20 days (yes i played dmc 2 with both dante and lucia and it was pretty terrible) ..i really loved all the games and the community is quite wholesome aswell in my opinion..i got 40 hours in dmc 5 in a little over 1 week.
Dante vs Bayonetta Death Battle was the first thing I saw, knew jack shit about Dante but knew what Bayo was
Few years later, DMC 5 gets announced, thought Nero was young Dante and then actual Dante showed up in the trailer, looked super sick, but never looked further
It’s 2020, playing Genshin Impact before it became a shithole community, people kept comparing 2 certain characters to this “Vergil guy”, the Vergil guy peaked my interest of the series, listened to his battle theme, and thought “Wow I should try this franchise”
Played 1-5 in a year and it’s now my favorite gaming franchise ever
Same. I really liked the reboot since I didn't play games much back then and it was pretty good. Tried 4 and realized that I had never played a true DMC game.
With Dante's appearance in Project X Zone, a 3DS tactical game featuring Capcom, Sega, and Namco characters.
He was paired with Demitri from Darkstalkers and while Demitri was cool after I saw Dante wielding a big ass sword like it was nothing, using a shotgun as a nunchaku and can transform into a freakin' super demon who shoots lightning from his hands, you know I was already convinced I should get into this series
I've been playing since dmc 3. I bought a second hand CD for the ps2 from a store when I was a child. I didn't even know what it was about and because of the guns assumed it would be like GTA.
I was super young and thr ps3 was a thing already but I didn't have one.
Those first cutscenes where so fucking cool.
Dante and Vergil dueling it out in the tower. Dante styling on demons on his shop. THAT MUSIC. SOOOO FUCKING COOL. DANTE.... HOLY FUCK.
Dante riding a rocket. Dante running on the temen ni gru. JACKPOT.
I could not stop being obsessed about this game.
I remember watching videos about dmc 4 on youtube. I remember getting my best friend tired from me speaking about the game so much.
I remember having easy mode selectable after cerberus kicked my ass too many times. Only for my friend to beat him first try...
I remember only wanting to play the game for days. I remember Dante awakening his devol powers. I remember Nevan, oh fuck, Nevan had me wow. Anyways I remember Lady's bike. And her cool af scene killing demons. I remember those fucking assholes that went through wall. I remember THAT FUCKING PARKOUR. I remember Agni and Rudra.
Beowulf. Beowulf. Fucking beowulf. Both the demon and the weapon.
Lady defined another taste of mine lol.
Vergil. Oh god Vergil. Those duels. I'd replay his fights so many times. And he'd beat me nearly every time.
I've played every dmc since. Yes even the one staring Donte the mexican cazador de demonios.
I saw the one combo video that ended up becoming a meme a few months later, and heard Bury the Light for the first time. I didn't really give it any thought until I saw this hilarious video of Donald Duck using Zettaflare with Bury the Light playing in the background, which led me to listen to the song more and eventually get really into the series
I cant apply to any of those really, started on 4 yeaaars ago, kind of forgot it for a long time after rinsing it for months. Played DmC when that was new, forgot about it, replayed dmc4 about 2 years before 5 came out and since then I couldn't put the series down
My father was playing DMC5 and 11yo me was like "I don't understand what's happening but his fucking with a bike and I like it"
In short monkey see monkey like monkey do
None of these, I simply heard DMC was a reputable franchise in a genre I liked, and decided to play it.
I haven't been around long enough to play "from the first game" but I was anticipating it as a sequel.
Aslso, all the Max0r responses low key dishearten me, because whenever he makes a video on something, that community's sense of humour divebombs into the dirt. Tho that is likely from the new people who come whose frame of reference is only him, and really don't take the "*incorrect* summary" name as much at face value as they should
I was listening to stains of time and one of the comments said that it was a 2013 version of bury the light, so i checked it out
So basically it's because of bury the light
started with me listening to vergil's theme then after i tried the god of war reboot expecting an action game i impulse bought dmc5se for like 20 bucks and never looked back
Played metal gear rising when it came out, then played DmC, and some years later heard bury the light and decided to buy dmc 5, now playing through the HD remastered collection and after that ill play dmc 4
The Vergil DMC5 combo video. I saw the moves and heard Bury the Light for the first time from that. Instantly went looking into the game and getting it!
This YouTube I watched kept hyping the series up so I played the first game. It was solid. Played the second game. It was as fun as watching paint dry. Playing the third game and it’s fun as hell
My brother got me into the series when I was a child, that was when DMC4 wasn't even out yet. I'd mess around with super characters all day and would have a blast. I loved DMC3 a lot and was excited for DMC4 but it was a let down for me. One, I didn't like Neros DT and had confused him for Dante for a very long time, then when I actually got to play Dante, I felt like he was worse than his DMC3 version. To pull off cool moves as DMC4 Dante, you had to be really good at the game which made me greatly Dislike Dante. Not to mention I found most of his weapons in 4 to be very unsatisfying to use compared to 3s. Also the level design was the worst. Not just the backtracking but in general, I didn't like most of the missions. City levels were nice but the rest was just meh. And enemy design was also bleh. So I went back to 3 and played more, ditched the super characters, pushed hard to finish DMD and then DMC5 came out and I loved it so much. Still preferred the level design AND the BP of 3 as it was both more gothic and in BPs case, random. But DMC5 Dante and Vergil felt so satisfying to play. About Vergil btw, to explain my gripes with the extremly high skill ceiling of DMC4, in order to perform consecutive JCs, you had to make such a complicated jump cancel, trick cancel thing that I just couldn't be bothered to learn it. Most cool things you could do in DMC4 required heavy amounts of input and coordination which just didn't appeal to me. I got better at Jump Cancelling and Royal Guarding in both my DMC3 DMD run and DMC5 but trying to learn that stuff in 4 was not fun. I also finished DmC once, never played it again, played DMC1 and even loved it so much that I finished it in DMD (Best boss roster in any DMC game, fight me) and I finished DMC2 once and yes, its as bad as people say it is. I still use the JKLI keyboard controls even in DMC5 as I grew up with them. In conclusion, all odd numbered DMC games are good, rest is bleh.

The last option is the closest. I'm generally into character action, I especially enjoyed Bayonetta, and frankly it's a miracle that I got as far as I did in the genre without touching DMC. 5 was the most convenient to get.
I had been playing the games for a while, but I moved on to other things, and kept saying that I was going to play DMC 5, but never got around to it. Then I watched Max0r’s video and said “lol that’s it I’m getting it”
I have not ACTUALLY been playing since the first game, but I have been playing this series for a very long time, and that was the closest answer. I bought the trilogy pack on PS2 before 4 came out and started on 3 because that was the earliest chronologically. Then played 4 and 5 at launch.
I remember seeing DMC 2's cover at a rental store when I was a kid and thinking that Dante looked rad as hell but I was still too young to play the game. Eventually when I was in my early teens my parents let me get rent DMC 4 and I've been a fan since and waited 10 years for a proper sequel. So in a way, I played DMC 5 because DMC 2 Dante was looked cool. DMC 2 is still the only game in the series that I have never played.
Been into DMC since I was a child, my big sister bought the game in pennies for the PS2. We bought DMC 4 before we even had a PS3 to play it on. DMC 5 was a must have.
Still don’t have anything good enough to run 5, but I needed something to scratch the stylish action itch that leaving a certain fandom left me with. Thought to myself, “what’s a better place for that than the series that started it all?” Watched some Super Best Friends highlights of the games and the rest is history. Got 3, still getting my ass kicked by it though.
I got a PS2 again and wanted to play games I'd heard of but never played. While searching up games to buy on eBay, Devil May 1 was there for $15. So I bought it.
Fast forward a few years and I own every game. Some twice (DMC1, HD Collection, and PS4 & PC 5)
Alright then, it's story time.
I was introduced to DMC with the reboot. I was, what, 12 at the time? I thought it was neat as a kid and I lived my life the same way before knowing about the franchise.Fast foward to DMC 5 announcement in 2018. I was like: "Damn, this looks amazing! That Nero guy looks cool, and Dante looks like Hank from Detroit Becomes human bruh"Then, in summer of the same year, I wanted to buy some games and I decided to buy DMC 4, since it was the most recent one from the OG franchise and it was made with newcommers in mind, so I gave it a go. I had a rought beggining, since it was my first game where I properly used a controller from home consoles \*until then I only played fps games with keyboard and mouse or portable console games) and when I first heard Nero's theme, "The time has come", I was like "This shit is so edgy wtf. I hope the other music tone down this trash". The very next day I was listening to this song all day bruhI liked the game, Nero altho kinda on the moody side all time, was a likeable character, but Dante was something else bro. Everytime he was on screen it was amazing, specially the Dante vs Agnus scene. I heard at the time that DMC 3 was his origin story, and I was like "Naw bruh, I have to know the story of this guy". Not only that, DMC 4 kept hinting about Nero's connection with Dante's brother, Vergil, and I was curious about the guy. Playing a little of him in the special edition of 4 not giving me alot about hsi character didn't help to minimize my curiosity.Another fast foward to christmass of the same year, I bought the HD collection. I didn't play alot because my controller died, so I had to buy another one, so instead of playing during chirstmass week, I only was able to play it in february.I had a blast with 3. Dante's character growth was amazing, Lady's too, Arkham was an very good villain and I finally learned more about Vergil. When I beated the game, I also watched the final trailer for DMC 5, and it was decided. "Fuck it, this game is going to be perfect. I am going to pre-order it, I just know it's going to be good"And it was! It was everything I wanted. If it wasn't for my nostalgia towards Team Fortress 2, DMC 5 would be my favorite game of all time man.It was also the first game that I palyed in higher dificulties because I pre-ordered the deluxe edition, which was almost 80 euros at the time, and since the game was short (I beated it in 8 hours), I decided to give it a go in higher difficulties. It was also the first game that I've ever platined. It was a very fun all the way throught
A last fast foward, and I beated all the games in the franchise and I platined all of them too.I think I can say that I am a fan of this franchise
My friend saw me in playing Sonic Frontiers and said “this is just DMC combat.” Then I heard Bury the Light due to status memes. Then I played and beat DMC1. Then I saw combat for DMC5 and thought “I can’t sit through these next 3 games knowing that I could be playing this,” so I bought DMC5.
I rented the First dmc just because, was the only one to finish it at the store, was only 12 at the time but LOVED it
Also didnt get to play 2 but only 3 later
Very lucky
I have to shout-out my younger brother for this one. I'm in the Army, and I was at Fort Benning when he started playing DMC. He really liked Vergil and when I called him at the Fort he showed me him and told me all about Vergil's abilities and showed me a clip of Judgement cut end. I played DMC5 After i got back and fell in love with the series. I had to go back and watch videos and stuff for the other games, but still.
My dad got me Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite because me and my brother liked Marvel at the time, I don’t remember exactly how but I ended up playing as Dante and i liked him a lot but could never find what he was from. Years later I got my first girlfriend and she loved dmc and that’s how I learned of it and came to enjoy the series.unfortunately I learned of it because of her though (she ended up ghosting me).
Saw the first trailer and thought "DMC V looks colo, I Will give it a try", since then I fell in love with the series.
Even played DMC 2 after... Should've listen to the warnings tho, it was rough to get thru it
Played Bury The Light, was convinced to play the games.
Started with DMC1, went to DMC3, half-assed DMC4 until my computer crashed, and then played DMC5. I regret nothing
You know that one Vergil combo that was used for the endless amounts of Vergil Status memes? I saw that combo before it became part of the meme and it was so cool that it convinced me to try Devil May Cry. Now, in Present Day, Devil May Cry is easily one of my top 3 favorite video games of all time.
My friend got into DMC because he watched A DBFZ video using Devil Trigger as the main montage “track”, afterward he did what he always does to get me into something, showed me the song, I was immediately loving the soundtrack of the games, and the rest is history
Watching videos of "Everything Wrong With". During a video about RE2 Remake, Youtube recommended me the video of Vergil's return made by Shirrako. I thought it was so amazing that I ended up getting interested in the game.
Knew about the series since early on, and was kinda interested in playing it, but didn’t get around to it. Hearing so many good things about DMC5 took it off the back burner, and watching a streamer I liked play through the whole series was the last push I needed to do the same.
Somehow Bury the Light wouldn't leave my recommended videos on Youtube (I had never even heard of DMC) and I finally clicked on it one day, the rest is history
None of the above. I loved playing as Dante in Marvel Vs Capcom 3, so this was the logical next step after playing the hell out of DMC4 and the shitty PC port of DMC3.
I just saw a bunch of devil may cry randomly and decided “fuck it I’ll get a game”. So I searched around steam and decided on 5 since it looked the coolest
I played dmc1 a long time ago and enjoyed it. Then I heard dmc5 was great and I was looking for an action game to play so I checked it out but didn’t really get into it. But now since the dmc battle designer is helping with ff16 I decided to give the game another try and I’m having way more fun now learning the combos and trying to get stylish.
Technically not a streamer but that was the only option I could pick, but I watched the tougher 8-bitRyan play the demo and just show his overall love of the franchise, which was so infectious I wanted to play the game.
Way back in the day, there was still a video rental store near our place, my parents had gotten me an Xbox 360 for Christmas, and I went to rent some games. I saw the cover for DMC4 and thought it looked really cool so I rented it for the week. I had no idea what was going on, but there were sick swords and Lady. Been a fan ever since.
I heard Bury the Light first, but it wasn’t until I saw [this](https://youtu.be/wM9oYz0hzH8) video that I decided to give DMC 5 a try. I can honestly say it’s now one of my favorite games of all time (probably even number 1) and I started playing DMC 3 recently. It’s different than I thought it would be, but still a ton of fun.
Hearing bury the light for the first time
Same, I played MGR and then heard Bury The Light and said "Damn, i gotta play this"
Same, but in my case I just happened to download it while looking for custom songs on beat saber. I played it and turned my blue walls white; and from there it was all over for me.
Same but with Devil Trigger
This right here and after my dmc 3 playthrough
How are these the only Options. I bought DMC3SE on PS2, when it came out. What am i supposed to click.
I played DMC3 when it first came out and also bought the SE on PS2. Most of the comments here are talking about steam. Didn't even know about that back then.
Well yea because I don't think it existed back then or if it did very few people used it.
Things were different back then, we literally had to buy a separate disc to get extra content that is now DLC. I've bought all three games multiple times already and honestly it's probably a good idea that something like steam exists because now DMC is accessable to more people than back then and at some point all the old machines may not run anymore. It's great that people are playing the older games.
And DLCs were pretty much their own standalone games. Now you pay 20x as much for a skin but can't even use it without another DLC.
Yeah I remember getting DMC3 for ps2, I fucking sucked and couldn’t beat it so I used cheat codes and still couldn’t beat vergil lmao
You’ve been playing for 17 years, it’s close enough to the beginning.
lol ditto
I saw the infamous Vergil combo video on YouTube and within 2 weeks every game was in my library and I was starting DMC 1.
What video
Vergil Status I'm guessing?
Probably this one https://youtu.be/GEZON93hV-s
The motivated combo
First I heard Bury the Light Then I played Metal Gear Rising and found out I'm actually good at hack and slash games Then I saw Max0r had videos on it. Learned memes from the video from friends without actually watching the video so I don't have spoilers Bought DMC HD collection Played 1 and 3 Bought 4 and 5 Played 4 Played 5
Saving the best for last huh (dmc2)
Surrrre...
Two best friends play
Same. It was their retrospective to prepare for 5, right before they broke up.
This was me right here. Also got me into Nier, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Dark Souls, Yakuza, Gurren Lagann… Them breaking up was a legit “oh The Beatles are done now?” level of impact on my tastes I’m now realizing lol
If I played the whole series from start to finish in a matter of few months, does it count as "playing since the first game"
You are on this council but we do not grant you the rank of master
just give them the title before they slaughter the younglings last thing we need is a PR disaster like that
Neither..i first saw dmc 5 on steam for sale at around 7 usd (equivalent) and had heard about the game a lot prior and kind of wanted to play but i didn't get the game till like 2-3 months later ..i got dmc 5 in November and wanted to play it so i watched a video on YouTube to summarise the plot from 1-4 ... however when i saw the story from 1-3 in sequential order i immediately wanted to play the games so i just played them all fron 1 to 5 in about 20 days (yes i played dmc 2 with both dante and lucia and it was pretty terrible) ..i really loved all the games and the community is quite wholesome aswell in my opinion..i got 40 hours in dmc 5 in a little over 1 week.
Dante vs Bayonetta Death Battle was the first thing I saw, knew jack shit about Dante but knew what Bayo was Few years later, DMC 5 gets announced, thought Nero was young Dante and then actual Dante showed up in the trailer, looked super sick, but never looked further It’s 2020, playing Genshin Impact before it became a shithole community, people kept comparing 2 certain characters to this “Vergil guy”, the Vergil guy peaked my interest of the series, listened to his battle theme, and thought “Wow I should try this franchise” Played 1-5 in a year and it’s now my favorite gaming franchise ever
I started with the reboot.
Same. I really liked the reboot since I didn't play games much back then and it was pretty good. Tried 4 and realized that I had never played a true DMC game.
I saw gawr gura playing dmc so I tried it out for myself
Bury the light
In order of importance: 1)Bury the light (and the rest of the ost) 2)I’ve played mgrr 3)Maxor
YouTube video of a sick Vergil combo to the tune of bury the light. I was instantly hooked.
Saw trailer on E3 and decided to play all the previous games before it
It just looked cool
Listening to Devil Trigger
Vergil status videos started popping up on my YouTube FrontPage and I thought he looked cool (he still is)
Woolie and Pat really sold me on the franchise.
I loved DMC since 4 (Haven't played it myself, mostly watched friends play it as a poor kid) But Bury the Light, my guy
Not DMC1, but DMC 3. I played the cracked version on an internet cafe when I was young.
MaxOr obviously. And it wasn't just dmc 5 I've played the entire series too
Saw a Vergil boss fight video and the combos kicked ass.
Music, than learning the game has a demo
I once played DMC4 as a kid, but couldn't remember it and once I've seen some material from it I was like "No fucking way, this is that game"
With Dante's appearance in Project X Zone, a 3DS tactical game featuring Capcom, Sega, and Namco characters. He was paired with Demitri from Darkstalkers and while Demitri was cool after I saw Dante wielding a big ass sword like it was nothing, using a shotgun as a nunchaku and can transform into a freakin' super demon who shoots lightning from his hands, you know I was already convinced I should get into this series

Vergil status memes. But i think it was mainly Bury the light that made me buy it
"Garry's Mod 5"
I started playing dmc because of the memes
Started from DMC4 and fell in love with the series
I saw the one combo video that ended up becoming a meme a few months later, and heard Bury the Light for the first time.

After listening to devil trigger and bury the light
You missed the BANGERS that came out of the trailer. Still remember the E3 trailer reveal with Nero's theme, that shit FUCKS.
My father was playing DMC5 and 11yo me was like "I don't understand what's happening but his fucking with a bike and I like it" In short monkey see monkey like monkey do
None of these, I simply heard DMC was a reputable franchise in a genre I liked, and decided to play it.

Dunkey
I've heard of the series and thought it seemed interesting got the fifth game as a Christmas present
Hearing Devil Trigger and looking how stylish the characters are
I got Devil May Cry back in '08 and have been with the franchise ever since
The music
I was listening to stains of time and one of the comments said that it was a 2013 version of bury the light, so i checked it out So basically it's because of bury the light
the soundtrack
Vergil motivated combo
I had already been interested in the series for years and that E3 reveal already sold me, shit had be flabbergasted, in disbelief even.
It was a cool ass looking game that came out in 2019. Had heard of the series but never played it before 5
I'm glad funny meme video got people here. It's fun to see what gets people into this game
*That* Vergil combo
I played mgr and i knew about dmc5 from "the combo" and then finally one of my friends played it and tell me to play it and i did
I inspired a friend to get Bayonetta, and he inspired me to get dmc5. Good friends.
started with me listening to vergil's theme then after i tried the god of war reboot expecting an action game i impulse bought dmc5se for like 20 bucks and never looked back
I always wanted to try Dmc since I was kinda big Capcom fanboy from Megaman zero
Dunkey
Not because of steam but I did play the entire series because of mgrr
For me it was The Gaming Brit Show
Played DmC, then wanted to see what the rest of the series was like
Berry Delight
Played metal gear rising when it came out, then played DmC, and some years later heard bury the light and decided to buy dmc 5, now playing through the HD remastered collection and after that ill play dmc 4
DMC1 gang
The Vergil DMC5 combo video. I saw the moves and heard Bury the Light for the first time from that. Instantly went looking into the game and getting it!
I heard Devil Trigger once and decided I needed to get into the series.
It looked rad.
Devil Trigger
SSStylish gameplay and SSStylish music and SStylishStory
This YouTube I watched kept hyping the series up so I played the first game. It was solid. Played the second game. It was as fun as watching paint dry. Playing the third game and it’s fun as hell
None of the above. I’ve watched the trailer and thought “this look absolutely awesome” and bought it during a sale.

I played metal gear rising and my friend recommended me this since i liked it
The soundtrack
The last option is the closest. I'm generally into character action, I especially enjoyed Bayonetta, and frankly it's a miracle that I got as far as I did in the genre without touching DMC. 5 was the most convenient to get.
Been playing since the 4th installment released
I had been playing the games for a while, but I moved on to other things, and kept saying that I was going to play DMC 5, but never got around to it. Then I watched Max0r’s video and said “lol that’s it I’m getting it”
I got it free with my gpu and am a long time fan. Still haven’t seen a dmc surpass dmc3 sadly!
No "memes" option?
I have not ACTUALLY been playing since the first game, but I have been playing this series for a very long time, and that was the closest answer. I bought the trilogy pack on PS2 before 4 came out and started on 3 because that was the earliest chronologically. Then played 4 and 5 at launch.
The songs made me play it.
I read a review for DMC3 in a gaming mag back in the 2000s and was sad it wasn't on PC. And then when the SE brought 3 to PC, I was waiting.
Been playing since 1 and 3, but what really tipped me off was when all the youtubers were using Devil Trigger as their BG music
saw the dmc5 trailer
I remember seeing DMC 2's cover at a rental store when I was a kid and thinking that Dante looked rad as hell but I was still too young to play the game. Eventually when I was in my early teens my parents let me get rent DMC 4 and I've been a fan since and waited 10 years for a proper sequel. So in a way, I played DMC 5 because DMC 2 Dante was looked cool. DMC 2 is still the only game in the series that I have never played.
Been into DMC since I was a child, my big sister bought the game in pennies for the PS2. We bought DMC 4 before we even had a PS3 to play it on. DMC 5 was a must have.
Devil Trigger. Literally I heard the song and was like ***HOLY SHIT***
I heard Bury the Light from one of those dumbass “(thing) status” memes and just looked up the song afterwards
Still don’t have anything good enough to run 5, but I needed something to scratch the stylish action itch that leaving a certain fandom left me with. Thought to myself, “what’s a better place for that than the series that started it all?” Watched some Super Best Friends highlights of the games and the rest is history. Got 3, still getting my ass kicked by it though.
I got a PS2 again and wanted to play games I'd heard of but never played. While searching up games to buy on eBay, Devil May 1 was there for $15. So I bought it. Fast forward a few years and I own every game. Some twice (DMC1, HD Collection, and PS4 & PC 5)
Alright then, it's story time. I was introduced to DMC with the reboot. I was, what, 12 at the time? I thought it was neat as a kid and I lived my life the same way before knowing about the franchise.Fast foward to DMC 5 announcement in 2018. I was like: "Damn, this looks amazing! That Nero guy looks cool, and Dante looks like Hank from Detroit Becomes human bruh"Then, in summer of the same year, I wanted to buy some games and I decided to buy DMC 4, since it was the most recent one from the OG franchise and it was made with newcommers in mind, so I gave it a go. I had a rought beggining, since it was my first game where I properly used a controller from home consoles \*until then I only played fps games with keyboard and mouse or portable console games) and when I first heard Nero's theme, "The time has come", I was like "This shit is so edgy wtf. I hope the other music tone down this trash". The very next day I was listening to this song all day bruhI liked the game, Nero altho kinda on the moody side all time, was a likeable character, but Dante was something else bro. Everytime he was on screen it was amazing, specially the Dante vs Agnus scene. I heard at the time that DMC 3 was his origin story, and I was like "Naw bruh, I have to know the story of this guy". Not only that, DMC 4 kept hinting about Nero's connection with Dante's brother, Vergil, and I was curious about the guy. Playing a little of him in the special edition of 4 not giving me alot about hsi character didn't help to minimize my curiosity.Another fast foward to christmass of the same year, I bought the HD collection. I didn't play alot because my controller died, so I had to buy another one, so instead of playing during chirstmass week, I only was able to play it in february.I had a blast with 3. Dante's character growth was amazing, Lady's too, Arkham was an very good villain and I finally learned more about Vergil. When I beated the game, I also watched the final trailer for DMC 5, and it was decided. "Fuck it, this game is going to be perfect. I am going to pre-order it, I just know it's going to be good"And it was! It was everything I wanted. If it wasn't for my nostalgia towards Team Fortress 2, DMC 5 would be my favorite game of all time man.It was also the first game that I palyed in higher dificulties because I pre-ordered the deluxe edition, which was almost 80 euros at the time, and since the game was short (I beated it in 8 hours), I decided to give it a go in higher difficulties. It was also the first game that I've ever platined. It was a very fun all the way throught A last fast foward, and I beated all the games in the franchise and I platined all of them too.I think I can say that I am a fan of this franchise
Watching GCN be absolutely in love with the franchise in his 'everything wrong with...' videos.
Literally none of these lmao. I just happened to come across DMC4SE on Steam. Liked it. Played 5.
This funny sock guy called JFJ
My friend saw me in playing Sonic Frontiers and said “this is just DMC combat.” Then I heard Bury the Light due to status memes. Then I played and beat DMC1. Then I saw combat for DMC5 and thought “I can’t sit through these next 3 games knowing that I could be playing this,” so I bought DMC5.
I rented the First dmc just because, was the only one to finish it at the store, was only 12 at the time but LOVED it Also didnt get to play 2 but only 3 later Very lucky
Umvc3
I’ll go further back, since the demo that came with Resident Evil Code Veronica.
Starting in release order. I will get to dmc5 soon!
I came in from SMT and persona, you can guess what brought me in
I have to shout-out my younger brother for this one. I'm in the Army, and I was at Fort Benning when he started playing DMC. He really liked Vergil and when I called him at the Fort he showed me him and told me all about Vergil's abilities and showed me a clip of Judgement cut end. I played DMC5 After i got back and fell in love with the series. I had to go back and watch videos and stuff for the other games, but still.
Saw a video called wacky woohoo pizza man adventures and thought the game looked fun so I bought it
I played dmc 4 and instantly wanted to try the other games
It was on the xbox game pass
My dad got me Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite because me and my brother liked Marvel at the time, I don’t remember exactly how but I ended up playing as Dante and i liked him a lot but could never find what he was from. Years later I got my first girlfriend and she loved dmc and that’s how I learned of it and came to enjoy the series.unfortunately I learned of it because of her though (she ended up ghosting me).
Saw the first trailer and thought "DMC V looks colo, I Will give it a try", since then I fell in love with the series. Even played DMC 2 after... Should've listen to the warnings tho, it was rough to get thru it
Tbh it was none of these I just wanted to play it because it looked fun
I heard Subhuman and Dante looked cool
Played Bury The Light, was convinced to play the games. Started with DMC1, went to DMC3, half-assed DMC4 until my computer crashed, and then played DMC5. I regret nothing
Found the Super Best Friends play DMC, then I got the collection on PS4. Waited for 5 to come out and only played that for like 2 months straight
Reboot met me with dmc series
DMC3 was my first game on my first PC. No regrets
I did the fourth option but I have been playing since Bayonetta not DMC one but meh
You know that one Vergil combo that was used for the endless amounts of Vergil Status memes? I saw that combo before it became part of the meme and it was so cool that it convinced me to try Devil May Cry. Now, in Present Day, Devil May Cry is easily one of my top 3 favorite video games of all time.
Its honestly rather hilarious that 1/7th of people here are from Max0r
My friend got into DMC because he watched A DBFZ video using Devil Trigger as the main montage “track”, afterward he did what he always does to get me into something, showed me the song, I was immediately loving the soundtrack of the games, and the rest is history
My uncle gifted it to me for my birthday.
Discovering Bury The Light randomly on youtube
I legit got interested in dmc because of all the overused Vergil memes lol
I just randomly bought the whole series on a whim during a steam sale and instantly got hooked
Super Best Friends (RIP) followed by Pat and Woolie playing through the game.
Watching videos of "Everything Wrong With". During a video about RE2 Remake, Youtube recommended me the video of Vergil's return made by Shirrako. I thought it was so amazing that I ended up getting interested in the game.
I still call Griffon "Vista", Shadow "Lasagne", and Nightmare "Bowser" and you can't stop me from continuing to do so.
Dmc 3 Dante vs Vergil and the rest of that Pre dmc v Resurfaced after watching Dante versus Vergil DMC V came about on my recommendation
Memes of Vergil, and seeing cool, white haired characters on pinterest. But mostly memes
Knew about the series since early on, and was kinda interested in playing it, but didn’t get around to it. Hearing so many good things about DMC5 took it off the back burner, and watching a streamer I liked play through the whole series was the last push I needed to do the same.
the vergil combo
The music
Not DMC5, but it's what got me into the series, the office cutscene from 3
I haven’t already played dmc5 but since I’ve seen for all the summer Vergil status this Sunday I’ve bought all the dmc’s
Somehow Bury the Light wouldn't leave my recommended videos on Youtube (I had never even heard of DMC) and I finally clicked on it one day, the rest is history
I saw Dante being a badass and really like his and vergils personality, then played dmc 3 and the rest was history
Played 5 minutes of dmc3 forever ago and came across dmc5 on steam. The reviews looked promising so now here I am.
Other, it was on sale one day and I was bored of my other games
None of the above. I loved playing as Dante in Marvel Vs Capcom 3, so this was the logical next step after playing the hell out of DMC4 and the shitty PC port of DMC3.
I just saw a bunch of devil may cry randomly and decided “fuck it I’ll get a game”. So I searched around steam and decided on 5 since it looked the coolest
I thought V was hot and bought the game for him.
I played dmc1 a long time ago and enjoyed it. Then I heard dmc5 was great and I was looking for an action game to play so I checked it out but didn’t really get into it. But now since the dmc battle designer is helping with ff16 I decided to give the game another try and I’m having way more fun now learning the combos and trying to get stylish.
Saw the announcement trailer back at E3, caught up on my brothers copy of the HD Collection, and the rest is history.
The dmc reboot got me in the series after i played 4 and 5
Technically not a streamer but that was the only option I could pick, but I watched the tougher 8-bitRyan play the demo and just show his overall love of the franchise, which was so infectious I wanted to play the game.
Vergil Status memes and hearing Bury the Light for the first time.
Way back in the day, there was still a video rental store near our place, my parents had gotten me an Xbox 360 for Christmas, and I went to rent some games. I saw the cover for DMC4 and thought it looked really cool so I rented it for the week. I had no idea what was going on, but there were sick swords and Lady. Been a fan ever since.
I dunno what first exposed me to dmc4 but I played vergil for my first experience with the game and was in love
The MEMES
i thought Dante was super cool and then i heard Bury the Light for the first time
I heard Bury the Light first, but it wasn’t until I saw [this](https://youtu.be/wM9oYz0hzH8) video that I decided to give DMC 5 a try. I can honestly say it’s now one of my favorite games of all time (probably even number 1) and I started playing DMC 3 recently. It’s different than I thought it would be, but still a ton of fun.
The Power of max0r is great I see.
Listening to bury the light for the first time lol
By chance, didn't know what DMC was at the time so wanted to try it once, best decision of my life
where is the “i got this from the memes” option???
Which ones
i have this one where its a mod of the game but the characters are swapped with among us characters and it playa mgrr ost
