I got DMC3 because I thought my pc wouldn't handle dmc4 (and that it would be waaay to expensive).
I loved it even despite the clunky keyboard controls. To this day one of my most beloved games. The coolnes of the combat, the awesomness of the cutscenes! And the banter that inevitably makes me smiles each time I hear it. I broke my keyboard on that game (literally, the jump button stopped working after that damned jumping puzzle with cubes).
DMC1 I don't have that strong of an attachment... But it did spawn my favourite genre... DMC2 can be called a historical cuirosity.
Despite DMC2 also being included a truly solid compilation game. This is really packed with content to keep you busy for hours possibly months. Mostly fantastic music with great sound effects. You get so much depth within the game play. The bonus stuff is just icing on top of this cake. This also a great one to get into the franchise with. Three times the Dante with more than enough demons to slay. There's some rather challenging higher difficulties if you're into that. Plenty of alternative skins across all three games to wear. It's truly amazing stuff at it's core.
It's been 7 years and it bothers me why Capcom has no interest of brining this classic to GOG. There's no online leaderboards and there is no need for the game to be attached to a DRM most of the time on Steam. Maybe for achievements, sure. But who cares?! I don't.
I just wanna hack n'slash some demons like in the old PS2 days! Get QLOC or General Arcade to port this to GOG for god sake!
Why Devil May Cry HD Collection Should Be on GOG and Why It’s Capcom’s Best Remaster
The Devil May Cry HD Collection stands as one of Capcom’s finest remasters, bringing together the iconic trilogy that helped define the stylish action genre. Originally released on PS2 and later remastered for modern systems, this collection features Devil May Cry (2001), Devil May Cry 2 (2003), and the fan-favorite Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening Special Edition (2006). It’s more than nostalgia—it’s a time capsule of genre-defining design, now presented with polished visuals and smoother performance.
What makes this HD Collection exceptional is how faithfully it retains the original games’ style, attitude, and gameplay, while updating them for a modern audience. The increased resolutions, steady frame rates, and widescreen support give the trilogy a fresh coat of paint without sacrificing its core charm. Unlike some remasters that alter original content or mechanics, Capcom chose to preserve what made the series great while enhancing playability on newer hardware.
Each game in the collection showcases Dante’s evolution from mysterious demon hunter to wisecracking antihero. DMC3, in particular, is often cited as one of the best action games of all time for its deep combat mechanics, replayability, and difficulty balance.
Bringing Devil May Cry HD Collection to GOG would make these legendary titles accessible DRM-free, ensuring their preservation and allowing PC gamers to experience the best version without the hassle of launchers or restrictions. It’s a piece of gaming history that belongs in every action fan’s digital library.
These games is literally one of the first games I remember playing on the ps2, it made me learn how to actually play games, learning how to move, attack all at the same time. I was just a young child playing this game, running around just doing random things and getting lost a lot and my uncle helping me beat bosses. But it is what made me get into games and how I learned how to even play games, having this game on GOG would mean that it'd be preserved forever on my storage device and also be played by my kids someday without worry of it disappearing. Even i have a soft spot for dmc2 as i played that as well as a kid, and that game should also be preserved.
Some of the best Action games ever made!!!! Please bring this incredible franchise to GOG, including DMC 4 and DMC 5. DMC 5 has been DRM-free for a while now, and it's time to make it shine!!!
I played this game on PS4. While there is already a PC version that is being sold on Steam, it would be lovely to see this compilation on GOG for newcomers to the series.
As a person that had a PS2 but missed many classics of that era, I was a rather late comer to the series when I played this on PS4. DMC1 and DMC3 are really good games that still holds up really well. In particular, DMC3 is a must play if you like action games but don't you dare skip DMC1! DMC1 is also a must play but not necessarily due to its action... just play it.
This compilation entered my life when I was getting bored with the similarity between the games I was playing. So, playing this game was quite refreshing and maybe even saved the joy I get from gaming.
DMC2 on the other hand... offf... it is bad. The moment I started that game, I felt displeased. My whole positive mood from DMC1 was gone until DMC3 restored it. But DMC2 is also short enough to finish it in 2-3 sittings. It is possible to beat DMC2 by only shooting your pistol in most cases (though not all). In fact, I would recommend it so you can get rid of the game faster. Why play properly when the game is so bad that it rewards pistol spamming and punishes you when you want to play it in more proper fashion. This, alongside the terrible story, is the reason why DMC2 is a bad game.
That soundtrack though <3 and that atmosphere! I'll never forget my first time acquiring Alastor... Psycho Siren is my alarm to this day. Ace boss battles, and so difficult for my younger self! Especially New Game+ wrecking me T_T shadows were no joke

Digimon AdventureDigimon Adventure (aka Digimon) is a bootleg platformer for the SNES and Game Boy Advance based on Digimon.
Digimon Adventure uses the same engine as Pocket Monster, thus the gameplay mechanics are the same. The game spans six levels, which include two boss fights. The only playable character is Agumon. The player can attack enemies by pressing A to shoot a fireball. Each level has a strawberry item that, once collected, transforms that the player into Greymon, who's fireball attack is much larger and stronger. Once the player loses all their lives, they're given a chance to continue, which seems to have no limit.
The game steals nearly all of its graphics from numerous other sources. Of all the levels, so far the only identified source is the background from the last battle being taken from Castlevania Dracula X. The sound engine and music are also stolen from Bonkers for the SNES, which, like the game engine, is also used in Pocket Monster and Pokemon Gold and Silver.Action Fantasy
