Story:Devil May Cry 3 marks the return of the world’s toughest demon slayer, Dante, in a riveting new game marked by complex storylines, striking graphics and unadulterated stylistic action. As a prequel to the first Devil May Cry, the story unfolds an earlier chapter in Dante’s history, to a fateful clash with his evil twin brother. In addition to its characteristic fast paced action, the game increases the intensity with a new "style" system. It adds more depth to gameplay and allows players to choose between short-range, long-range, defensive or evasive play styles. Each system has its own range of features and players can power up their favorite style for increased special attack abilities. Special Edition feature: Now play as Dante’s twin Vergil!Show more

This game deserved better on PC!! Is one of the best hack'n slash games but the 2006 PC port is so bad: No XInput support, bad performance on modern Windows versions and low quality audio. I hope we can play this game, standalone of the HD collection on PC.

DMC3 Special Edition's a contender for my favorite game ever so have to vote for its return. The old PC port is a busted piece of junk on its own, but with the mods for it, it's got a lot of great additions from fans that really improve the gameplay such as style switching for Dante, and the addition of DMC4 style inertia on moves.
I originally experienced this on the Switch and it has to be like Top 10- maybe even Top 5 games of all time for me. From the music to the gameplay to the story, all of it can be described with 3 words: Smokin' Sexy Style.
Why Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening – Special Edition (OG PC Port) Deserves to Be on GOG and Why It’s a Great Game Devil May Cry 3: Dante’s Awakening – Special Edition is widely regarded as one of the greatest action games of all time—and for good reason. As a prequel to the original Devil May Cry, it dives into the origins of Dante and his rivalry with his twin brother Vergil. With its tight combat, stylish mechanics, and high skill ceiling, DMC3 redefined what hack-and-slash games could be. The original PC port, despite some technical limitations when it first launched, still brought the full experience to PC players: fast-paced combo-based action, cinematic storytelling, and an iconic soundtrack. The Special Edition added major improvements over the original console version, including the ability to play as Vergil, a revamped difficulty system, and quality-of-life changes that balanced challenge with accessibility. Having the OG PC version on GOG would not only preserve a key piece of Capcom and action game history, but also give it the DRM-free respect it deserves. GOG’s platform would allow players to revisit the roots of modern character-action games in a format that’s both accessible and respectful to the original experience—especially for fans of physical and legacy-style preservation. Devil May Cry 3: SE is a masterpiece of gameplay design, full of unforgettable boss fights, over-the-top style, and raw energy. Its arrival on GOG would cement its legacy in the PC gaming world as the definitive version for collectors and purists alike.

um dos melhores jogos que tive a oportunidade de jogar no ps2, seria um sonho jogar ele nativamente no PC com todos os comandos no teclado e mouse. DMC3 é um dos melhores da franquia certamente o que o torna mais especial é que ele relembra a minha infância.
Objectively the best of the DMCs and the one with the most sovl. Rockin OST, memorable characters, great gameplay mechanics. This is one of the best games on PS2. Really ought to be available here if possible at all.
I'd rather have people f@#k!ng requested this through the DMC HD collection, since SourceNext and Ubisoft port is just garbage. For some reason, it won't run and keeping it as a preservation is just not an option for this, since the HD Collection of the third game is basically THIS BUT BETTER! Asking for just one game is not an option. Because it's just the same.
Oh yeah the most badass game ever. Devil May Cry 3 Dante's Awakening. Probably the best game in the entire devil may cry series. You play as Dante an easy going chill guy who loves to party and have fun even during combat. I have cleared this game for the first time, back when I was Playing it on steam. I have cleared this game completely, collected all blue orb fragments, all statues broken , all special missions cleared, all upgrades bought, all costumes unlocked both as Dante and Vergil, but god Vergil's Trickster Jump was the real pain to do. But I somehow was able to do it. This game needs to be added here on GOG for other players to enjoy, cause this is the classic, that needs to be played and never forgotten.
Those games also need your vote!

Resident Evil Gaiden

The game features three playable characters and consists of exploring areas, collecting items and combating enemies in the process. Unlike previous entries in the series, Resident Evil Gaiden assumes a top-down perspective for the environment portions that, upon approaching an enemy, changes to a first-person combat mode with a reticle constantly moving to the left and right. To attack, the player has to press the action button while the reticle is in range of the enemy.

Contradiction: Spot the Liar!
Contradiction: Spot the Liar!"Contradiction is an interactive crime drama game that uses live-action video for the entirety of the game play. It’s a brand new take on the concept of an interactive movie and brings the genre to a whole new level of playability. Contradiction plays as smoothly as a 3D graphic game. You can wander freely around the game environment, collecting evidence and witnessing constantly changing events. However, the centrepiece of the game is interviewing the characters you meet, who can be questioned about all the evidence you’ve collected and things you’ve seen. The name of the game is then spotting contradictions in their answers, catching them out and moving the game along."
