I love me some Devil May Cry, hopefully it's like 1 and 3, and not like 2.

After having played god of war, the entire dmc franchise is complete rubbish and dante is a total dork.
I borrowed dmc 3 off a friend and stopped playing after 10 minutes. Corn piled on corn. The sad efforts to make it cool were just pathetic, the one-liners were vomit inducing. People from other cultures trying to make cool "western" characters has never worked. Some people may find the blending of cultural understanding cool but i think it's crap.
But that's my opinion.

DMC is fun, but really corny. God of War is really, really serious. There's almost no humor in that game, other than the dark/black stuff. DMC is a big more lighthearted with a semi-serious plot and some nifty combat moves. Granted, not up to par with God of War, but they are still good.
I can't stand the DMC games, always hated them. They're just so terrible. If there was ever one game that just completely dumbfounded me how anyone could enjoy it, it was DMC.
Ridiculously shitty Japanese "story"/dialogue that isn't funny unless you're 12? Check
Tedious, repetitive, boring gameplay that's inferior to most of the competition? Check
More useful as a drink coaster than a video game? Check
I just don't understand why so many people like such rubbish.

If you ask me God of War was crappy compared to DMC 1 & 3. Combat was less fun and varied. The only thing that kept it interesting was the context-button kills.
Not to mention God of War was a cake-walk compared to DMC 1 & 3. Also the fact that the hard mode in God of War is lame. You just start all over taking 3x the damage from enemies and they have 4x the hp...boring. They didn't expand on the moveset or at least let you keep your old equipment and upgrades.

When DMC first came out, I was in awe of it. I still love it most out of the three. It'll be interesting in a week to see just what the heck they are doing with this one!!!

Devil may cry and god of war were basically identical.
Also, they're both massively overhyped to the point that I am actually fully perplexed.
On that note, anyone calling god of war serious needs a lol-check.
They tried so furiously hard to make it as Vin Diesel X-Treme!!! as possible that it's nearly hilarious.
It's like they made The Doom Comic and set it in the distant past.
If you've beaten the game, you get the making-of featurettes, which are pretty damn funny.
It's basically just thirty or so minutes of the lead design guy saying:
"We wanted to make this as badass as possible. This character was good, but he wasn't badass eneough. God of war is the most badass game ever made. When we were designing the main character, we wanted him to be badass, so we picked the most badass design and made it more badass. We were thinking that we could take greek mythology and make it badass and we did make it badass."
etc.
That being said, they're decently fun in a pac man arcadey side-scrolling sort of way, but any given legend of zelda game blasts both of them straight out of the water as far as sword-fighting adventure games are concerned.

I like God of War a lot better than Devil May Cry. I'll never forget the scene in DMC3 where the girl shoots a rocket at Dante and he jumps on the god damn thing and rides it around the room like a skateboard. I just couldn't help but laugh behind my friend's back when he showed me all the really "badass" scenes from the game. In GoW Kratos didn't really do anything that made him look like a jackass. In fact, all he did was kill things in the cutscenes. It was, however, a total butchery of Greek mythology. DMC are fun games though.

Hrm, another UE3 game...*blech*
Just kidding, but it reminds me of some other titles that are using that engine to create similar-looking worlds.
Looks slick, but gameplay has always been where DMC has shone....

That's not Dante. That's Nero apparently...
