6 Comments on Capcom's Devil May Cry 5 Sales Top 10 Million Units
I guess I should be happy we are getting Onimusha at least.
It has moments I really liked but overall the pacing was definitely off the anthology like setting of the original anime with the last episode kinda wrapping it all together was definitely better. I'm a little tired of the tragic villain trope in general though.
They probably should have just made it about Nero and it likely would have been better with Dante as a secondary character but they want people excited about Dante who just felt more like Nero to me anyways.
We will see, I hope for the best.
