-The story and gameplay is divided in three characters. Since the game is so short on top of this, you can barely unlock the full potential of Dante and Nero before beating the game. So throughout the entire first run of the game you’re playing gimped versions of Dante and Nero because the dumb idiotic devs insisted to include a Kylo Ren knock-off to appease to gays and women. V is also extremely boring to play and promotes a play style that is anti-DMC and again meant mostly for casuals who don’t appreciate the melee fast-paced combat of the other two.
-The story is the lowest level of fanservice schlock. It’s embarrassing how a multi-million production can have writing and direction this poor. None of the DMC3 icons are portrayed in a satisfying manner here. Characters are reduced to satires of themselves and you realize halfway through that the devs simply can’t do more with these characters than what they did in DMC3. Instead we have endless fan nods thrown at us as the game desperately tries to put together a coherent plot that is redundant, unsatisfying and goes nowhere but up its own ass.
-Cutscene direction is a significant downgrade from DMC3/4. Gone are the overly stylish fight choreographies and instead replaced with sloppy exposition and the dumbest ass date sign ever present in a game. Here’s another area where the devs thought its players sub-50 IQ. The game has to actively tell you the time of the day over and over again for no real purpose. And this completely breaks cutscenes as all sense of momentum is lost when the game pauses everything to show you what the time is.
-Soundtrack is a huge disappointment. Gone are the religious influences and instead the entire soundtrack consists of three songs with two of them being completely repulsive and the third being way overplayed. This is the game’s biggest shortcoming because it actively hurts to listen to.

-While not related to the game itself, it bares mentioning that the DMC5 fanbase consists of overly sensitive fag-homos that refuse to accept any shortcoming of this trainwreck game. Instead any argument is met with a passive-aggressive reaction image and dismissal. Or worse, they start to jerk off to the game’s male cast.
-Conclusion to the saga is hugely unsatisfying. And bosses are all forgettable or blatant fanservice. Gone are the likes of Beowulf and Credo. Instead we have spider boss woman. And then knight with shield boss. And then a rehash of Cerberus. These are not worth remembering or replaying the game for.
-Co-op is a huge disappointment and further DLC is likely not even happening making the game feel even more disappointing.
-Character models are absurdly redesigned to look like completely different people. Dante is now a hobo. Nero is now some jock kid that plays Fortnite. Lady is now a middle-aged Asian with a malignant jaw. Trish is now a back alley crackwhore. And the two latter have no bearing on the game story and are just included for the sake of fanservice.
-Animations lack the punch of DMC4. Instead the obsession with realism has left the game feeling less satisfying to play. Not to mention that most levels are dark so it makes it even harder to make out enemy moves and your own attacks.
Don’t fall for the shills claiming DMC5 is GOTY or best in the series. It’s a huge disappointment.

>everything in it looks like oiled plastic
I agree but although I felt that way too strongly in RE2, DMCV looks miles better. It's the colors and lighting. RE2 makes everything look like rotten plastic garbage but in DMC things are lively and colorful.
Initially just thought it was too slow and was like nah, then I actually got all the moves and realized I'm medically stupid and now it's my favorite

I honestly can't tell the difference. Vergil's reveal was akin to looking at a mannequin, and the in-game models randomly channel Bloodborne bosses with how fucking haggard they look.
