Don't know if you noticed, but when acquiring the Sin DT in DMC5, Vergil turns his back before stabbing himself on the painting of his family while Dante does this while looking at the painting. Just a little touch that adds a lot to both characters.
3:16:00 My favorite part about this scene is that Agnus initiated this melodrama and Dante felt that he just had to play along. Give Dante an opportunity to be extra and he absolutely will.
Imagine Vergil taking part in that scene instead of Dante cuz he read William Blake poetry as a kid in the DMC5 manga "Visions of V" as we seen with his human side V reciting those poets cuz he loves poetry, i'm internally laughing just thinking about it
Dante & Vergils designs are not only perfectly conflicting yet complimenting but fascinating because Spardas human form is often dressed in royal purple. Demons will hint at Dante, Vergil, or even Nero having aspects of Spardas personality but its seen best visually in the Sparda costumes. The twins literally make up half of what Sparda was while Nero is the most human and emotional like Sparda. Edit: This is also seen in Nero’s design. His Dmc4 default has red and blue together while his proto/beta outfit added to Special Edition is straight up purple.
Fun Fact: In the original PS2 copies of DMC3, there was a glitch where Cerberus was permanently set to Dante Must Die difficulty, regardless of difficulty.
DMC 3 can be played Coop with dobbleganger style.. once you defeat the game and get "unlimited Devil trigger "or even the dobbelganger skill, Controller 2 could take control of your shadow, but unlimited DT means = you can play the whole Dmc3 with a friend. Straight from the office to the end. Some of the best memories right there!
Very proud how far you’ve come in such a short time, son. These series retrospectives are great and your analysis on these games make me look at them from a different perspective. And now DMC, just awesome I’m resonating with most of your thoughts spot on especially for DMC 2 lol
I found your channel literally yesterday, and thought "well it's small but looks like good videos, I'll sub and wait and see what he covers" and then you put out this huge video on one of my favorite series. You're winning, son!
This overview of entire Devil May Cry series was truly a joy to experience and go along with someone who never played before. Seeing how DMC evolved and realizing how much DMC5 was a game made for all the fans.. so freakin amazing. How they built up Nero over 2 games to unleash his DT finally in 5. I got the chills watching it. Thank you for doing this and I enjoyed watching and am a little sad it’s over. Can’t wait to see where DMC goes next.
I love that this popped up on my feed as I just bought DMC5 for PS5 and I'm listening to this video as I run through the game. Very thoroughly explained. I learned a lot that I didn't know and I've been a fan since DMC1.
Loved this. Devil May Cray is one of the few series I got to play since day one. I have loved all the games, even DMC. Glad you took the time to make this Retrospective.
As a huge devil may cry fan, this video is insanely entertaining and I love the effort you've put into it. I enjoy watching retrospectives, even if it's about a game I've seen a million retrospectives of, because they're all unique and this one is no exception. Well done, you've earned a sub :)
Important note: the use of "bash" when Dante favors "party" is a reference to Vergil's line in DMC3, "I was so eager to see you, I couldn't focus on preparations for the bash". He even hits the SH at the end the same. It's a small thing but it shows the love he has for his brother, even through it all, that he either chose to ease the last shard of Vergil's selflessness in its dying moments, or said subconsciously because he never stopped thinking about him.
I love hearing Dante and Vergil saying jackpot in devil may cry 3 it’s really awesome and badass, which is why I love devil may cry 3 it’s such a badass game and tons of fun I love it.
@@LegendaryDarkKnight602 i was talking to my uncle a couple days ago and said this same exact thing, they're remaking resident evil games so why not dmc, theyre 3rd most popular series other than resident evil and street fighter. theyd make sooo much money if they did remake them, hell just remake 3 with dmc 5 graphics and gameplay
It is a badass game but in a wholesome way. I think that's why it's so unique. Definitely my favorite game of all time. Been playing it every other year since I got it back in like 2009.
This was early 2000s Capcom. No one did a second take on any voice lines. I find endearing. My biggest dislike of modern Resident Evil games is the competent voice acting.
You can actually press exceed button right after every sword swing as nero, every combo has slightly different timing, making it instantly charge the exceed gauge, but i think you already knew that.
@@yuulb.alwright I think action games have left me in the dust, I was struggling to figure exceed out, and I just now got the hang of heat actions in Yakuza after like 10 hours 🙃
@@MeatSnax well every mechanic is different, because every action game is different. Exceed is about timing, heat actions are about fulfilling conditions mid battle
DMC is the game franchise that makes you want to smash your controller the first time you try it, but after half of each game you feel like a freaking one man army slicing every enemy on your way
The revelation that Dante's name was originally Tony sent me into a fit of laughter. 😂 I'm picturing him working in a financial office in a button down shirt with glasses. Idk why but the idea of this alternate universe is sending me! 💀💀
2:28:27 Just wanted to point out that you got Bingo and Yuji's roles and story switched up. Bingo was the scenario writer on both 3, 4, and later 5 and he was the one who left Capcom during devlopment but returned at Itsunos request. Yuji was the cutscenes director and had no input on the writing beyond how it was presented.
As a player having 400+ hours in DMC5, I will try to explain what the "end game" experience for 5 is like, to those that aren't that familiar about the game. So the end game basically is, a fast paced action where you constantly react to enemy attack patterns, and counter that with the skill/weapon of your choice. What's different from other hard games, is that DMC adds an extra criteria to judge your combat besides efficiency/damage output, called "style". You are encouraged to do dangerously timed dodges, parries with seemingly useless skills, or utterly harmless taunting, and the game will praise you for it. So while other games you maybe spamming the most powerful attacks to obliterate bosses, in DMC(5) you are putting on a show to mock and dominate whatever stands before you. While DMC is a series famous for being hard, the series has evolved towards this "style" concept, and by DMC5 it's actually being focused more than difficulty. In fact if you are willing to, there are mechanics and weapons in DMC5 that you can just spam and win any fight with. So I suggest new players to not expect difficulty in the likes of the Souls series and aim for the efficiency, but to immerse yourself as a care-free devil hunter, mocking and fooling around with demons, as the game intends.
Thanks I needed a comment like this, because DMC5 is my first in the series. DMC5 was on a steam sale (xmas) so I picked it up recently and I've clocked 100 hours. I seem to be stuck plateauing on DMD although I A-rank most lvls on this difficulty... I've been doing it wrong, I think you're right in that DMC rewards risk taking and creativity. I was always just using safe efficient moves that are generous in terms of building style meter. But... perfect dodges/parries/guards gives so much style meter and a lot more frequently too.
Very well said. I first played dmc when 4 released and it changed the way i play most games from trying to be effective to being as disrespectful to my enemies as i can. I thought i was pretty good at that, then i found donguri990 here on yt and saw how limited my imagination was.
You found a winning formula son, these series analysis videos have such a good format. Its like part lore history, part review, even part tips/guide/walkthrough at times all leading to an overall series summary. Top tier content son, top tier.
I swear there is a weird dmc craze lately, I’m seeing a bunch of people making vids recently, and I’ve even hopped back in, finished 4 finally and ordered dmc de to finally beat that one.
That makes me happy to hear because 5 is one of the best games I’ve ever played and the series deserves even more attention than it gets imo, even if it is successful.
@@jerm5466 yea same I love seeing more people get into the series, I keep telling people 5 is a fine jumping off point, and at my local game store I found the special edition new for 20 bucks
I'm definitely not complaining, I got into the series nearly two years ago on a whim and I've loved it to death, even going into the reboot and surprisingly finding it not too bad. The only one I haven't been able to legitimately enjoy still is 2, and this comes from the person with a HUGE soft spot for DMC 1
I noticed this too, and I'm not complaining either! DMC has carved its own place in the upper echelons of gaming and deserves all the attention it gets. I've adored this series since 2005 with DMC3 and I can't wait for the next title in the series. Hoping it's sooner rather than later. It doesn't feel like it but it's been three years since DMC5 released. That game was worthy of being called the GOTY of 2019 and one could make the argument that it's the greatest in its genre. Side note, there's a PS2 emulator out for Android called AetherSX2 and I'm doing another run of DMC3 SE on it. Can't tell you how fun it is to be able to play the game like this. God I love this series.
A relatively new channel having a 5 hour retrospective on one of my favorite series ever? I can’t imaging the time this actually took to create! Very well written and well researched! You did good, son *subbed*
5 hours for DMC retrospective? That SSSick! Also there's 4 novel in total which Itsuno decided to make it canon for DMC, glad you covered this because the novels aren't very well known by most DMC fanbase.
DMC5 has so much good stuff! My favorites being that Nico actually looks exactly like Goddess of Time with her welding mask on and the Dr. Faust cutscene that basically eludes to the fact that Dante fooling around with new weapons is actually happening in real time every time, and that German suplex you do countering Vergil's flying attack with DT Devil Bringer as Nero - that is amazing! Oh misunderstanding on Vergil's motives - he wants power not really for survival sake, but rather to never again lose anyone/anything precious to him. Hints on it scattered throughout the media. Probably the largest one is his line to Dante in DMC3 how "Might controls everything and without power you cannot protect anyone". Not to write whole paragraph here - wiki breaks down the whole thing in detail.
Hey Son, just wanted to let you know that DMC was a big game I used to play with my friends! I'm new to your channel and am excited to fall asleep to this for the next few months!
Became of a fan of your channel thanks to your "Legacy of Kane" retrospective and now you have a 5 hour retrospective on my favorite franchise? You have done well good sir 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Thank you for these well done masterpieces ✌🏿
Woah, whilst it's no Tokimeki Memorial, DMC in it's entirety definitely warrants a 5+ hour video. And being on a DMC kick lately myself, having a new video by my favorite son fit the theme is awesome! Proud of you!
DMC5 character models are interesting. They used real people's faces to model them. And even when Dante and Virgil do look near identical if they had the same haircut, they both used two different people
You are still criminally underrated, son. You're like Joseph Anderson and Matthew Mathosis combined lenght and gameplay analysis wise, all you need I think is some deeper insights into lore and stuff with your own interpretation to mix it up. I'm proud of you, son.
I wish Visions of V was included as part of the additional reading, it does an amazing job of fleshing out V (and my extension Vergil). Other than that, great job, this must have been a mamoth undertaking
I'm so happy I found you again. You're the only person that respected my favorite game fable enough to make an actual retrospective of the similar scope. You're so awesome
One thing you forgot to consider is the Visions of V Manga, it had been recently completed in its entirely (as in July 2022) and it reveals some depth and emotions and development towards Vergil and making him a far more interesting character overall.
A little nitpicking on DMC3 section, 1. The moment you said "demon attacks Vergil". Nope it is not. That demon is the one you fight in mission 2 and goes back to Vergil to report something of some sort, Vergil is its boss there. He just doesn't care so he kills it. 2. Agni and Rudra are not Fire and Ice, they are Fire and Wind. 3. Trial in Mission 6 that you need to fight enemies and 2 power wheels to hit. They DO take damage, they just forced in Devil Triggered mode until you lit up 2 power wheels to temporary disable their Devil Trigger. You can straightly fight them as they are and they can die but it will takes very long time. 4. Right side of Leviathan's heart does not only absorb white orb, it also drains out your Devil Trigger runes. 5. Nevan uses bats not crows. 6. King switches with Rooks not Pawns. However, you should deal with Pawns firsts since if they go to the end of another side they can turned into Bishops/Knights or Rooks.
This video was incredibly well put together. You've organized it in such a way that makes it really easy to understand the timeline and what's going on in the games, without the viewer even needing to play them or having a prior understanding of the backstory. I think the points you've made throughout the video were spot-on and I couldn't agree more with your perspective. It's amazing that you took the time to not only play the games, but play them multiple times through with alternative characters and gamemodes to get a true understanding of what each title has to offer. I couldn't imagine how long this video took you to create, between playing all of the titles, recording, script writing and endless editing. Excellent work! :) I played Devil May Cry 1 and 2 shortly after their original releases back in the day. I loved Devil May Cry 1 but was heavily disappointed by the second installment for the same reasons you pointed out in the video. After this, I avoided future titles for fear of them further damaging my appreciation of the series (not realizing that Devil May Cry 3 was such an awesome game). I decided to pick up the DMC reboot when it released to give the series another try. I can't say I was disappointed, but the blatant disrespect that Ninja Theory showed throughout the game, terrible writing during cutscenes and overall changes they made to Dante's character really drew me away from the series again. It's kind of sad that I seemingly skirted around most of the really good titles in the series (DM3, DM4 and DM5) and only played the ones that didn't do justice to the series, aside from DMC 1 of course.
@@YourFavoriteSon1 This video, alongside a few other DMC videos that UA-cam has recommended to me has inspired me to start a new series on my channel where I play a full game start-to-finish and provide commentary along the way. DMC1 is up first on the chopping block, and I would love to give this video a shoutout at the end of my video. Would you be alright with this?
As a 34 year old gamer, watching you play DMC 1 was painful. Phantoms fireballs can be hit back at him and do like 25% damage. And Dante has 3 basic combos that I never seen you use: 1)Triangle, 1 second puse, Triangle x3. 2) Triangle x3. 3) Triangle, Triangle, 1 second pause, Triangle x10.
2 роки тому+7
Recently bought DMC1 and 3 but don't have time to play... thank you for doing this thorough look at them. I can hear these while working. Not the same, but thank you!
You're an impressive content creator. Not because of the length of your content, but due to the quality and genuine appreciation you convey. Great job, looking forward to see whatever you do in the oncoming year(s)
Something I've needed everyone to understand for a LOOONNG TIME is the coin in DMC2, and why it isn't corny at all, is summed up PERFECTLY by his line at 2:08:55 about who Dante is. The double sided coin is quintessential Dante once you see how that line connects to him using it as opposed to simply agreeing to help people.
DMC3 came out when I was in 6th grade the pain waiting for 5 was brutal man. But it was worth the wait glad new fans are getting into it. Great video I am shocked you even finished 2 and the reboot. I will never touch the reboot with a 20 foot pull
@@TheMasterblah My situation was funny, I never thought about playing the first game. But when the second game came out I thought I'd give it a try, went looking for the second game and found the first one instead. I played it, and was hyped up for the second game. When I finally found it I realized I must've found the Grand Central of disappointments. Imo it would've felt more fun if it didn't follow the first game, but came before it. Like they stripped down the first game, put it back together but left a lot of useful parts laying around.
thank you for the time you put into this video. As someone who only plays pc (on a toaster level laptop) I'm unable to play these games. deffinitely gonna surprise my BF with my new knowledge of DMC lore
I was just watching your fable retro on a whim reminiscing old days.. and found this dmc vid, watched full. Enjoyed your video it was awesome, informative, highly remarkable. And this dad-son thing is a great concept. Keep up the great content son. Your video quality does not match the subscriber count, noticed it super late after finishing this video. Subscribed. Keep it up YOU are doing great. Content, video quality, editing everything is top notch like 10 mil subsciber++ level.. hope u grow up well son, content-wise and subscriber-wise hehe... Good luck!
I watched this video initially as "background noise" while grinding in a game. Ended up shutting down said Game to watch your Retrospective more attentively. Splendid work, Son! Seems like you ARE winning. Enjoyed the ride - now I want to revisit every single DMC game. Thanks for that! Dante must Die - here I come.
@StilgarAstartes You listened to this as background noise while playing a game. While I'm having this as background noise while writing a book that hopefully won't be too frightening to a certain pearl clutching group of people...
@@DemonicRemption Ooh! I love books! Especially comedy - it tastes so funny! :) Just kidding of course. Shoot me the title when it's done. I'd like to read it - and I don't scare easily from words!
I'd still say Vergil was a definitive antagonist in DMC3. Sure, he wasn't the ONLY antagonist, but for sure an antagonist. Since all you really need to be an antagonist is to simply be the opposition to the protagonist. And Vergil pretty much does that for the entire game except for in that one fight with Arkham. And the feeling is reciprocated. Dante antagonizes Vergil almost as much (maybe more).
Funfact: in DMC 3 there is a hidden co-op. In Doppelganger style, during Devil trigger state, hit start on 2nd controller in order to allow 2nd player to control the Doppel. After finishing the game on certain difficulty, you unlock the unlimited devil trigger so you can play infinitely in co-op all missions. Also, this co-op feature affects the final fight vs Arkham so 2nd player controls Vergil this time.
I just binged your channel for the first time son, and I can’t say I’ve seen higher quality commentary. Your style if by far my favorite, and I’m so looking forward to more videos!
DMC: Devil May Cry was actually my first DMC game xD. i really enjoyed it and it made me love Dante & Virgil, Its also why when DMC5 came out i bought it right away, even tho it wasnt the same as the reboot, I knew it would still be amazing & make me love the characters even more
Excellent retrospective. I love that you covered every entry in the series. I reallly like Devil May Cry and I will be honest to admit that my favorites are: Devil May Cry - The first I played and I had a blast with this title on the PS2 back in 2001. Devil May Cry 4 - I loved the graphic upgrade thanks to the power of the new generation consoles (PS3-360), and I liked the introduction of Nero and his fighting style. Devil May Cry V - I loved the closure to the series and the ending of the Devil family (so far). Graphics and gameplay were great. By the way, I would have loved a game from the series, even a spinoff for the PSP or PSVita ... oh well. Saludos.
I love the story of the Devil May Cry series, but can never bring myself to actually finish the games (I always wonder off part way through). Watching cutscenes or analyses really makes me appreciate the amazing story behind it all.
Ho-lee-shiiit,man. This was an incredible odyssey of a video retrospective, and I can’t imagine how much time and effort was involved in putting it together, from filming, writing, and editing everything into a cohesive whole (not to mention how long it must’ve taken to upload, haha). Content like this is a massive inspiration to small channels like mine - I’m currently working on my first big review/retrospective - and seeing how successful this video turned out to be gives me a big boost of confidence for pushing through to continue working on that project. You’ve got my subscription going forwards, and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with. Also I just saw that you have a Legacy of Kain video which I’m gonna watch next time I have a few spare hours. Thank you again for putting all your time, effort, and heart into your awesome work, and keep ‘em coming!
I got into dmc less than a year ago but ive been completely infatuated ever since. Ive played all 4 games, been through the process of replaying them, and have watched literally every dmc video on this platform. Or so i though until i saw a 5 hour long video!!! I am literally overjoyed that someone has made more contnet for me to consume. I cant wait to come back and gush once ive finished!
I love when new players try my favorite game series ❤❤ couple of points and details you might of not tried or found out. You also only mention that DT boost mobility and attack power and speed but you also regenerate. Dmc3 - beowolf fight if you hit his face you can stun him. Belreul- if you diminish his flames you can also buster him and do a slam attack. Dmc4 - you should of tried buster on bosses it does amazing animations and deals a shit ton of damage alone and with DT it extends it. Frog boss- if you damage the tendril enough when it turns red you can grab it and bring the frog out. Or when you damage the frog from removing its ice spine you can grab its tongue or its tail. Ekidnah- as nero when ever she was spiting out the demons from her sack you can also buster it or when she is in the ground stunned you can buster her as well. Mephisto/faust- its actually easier to devil bring it 3/5 times and boom its in its bug form. Angus - you dont have to buster the sword flying you can just walk up to it and swing you sword. And when you stun agnus you can also buster him Credo- you can buster his shield to break it. Dante- if you run up and buster him you guys can clash and do some nice damage.
Me who just wanted to listen to something while drawing, getting sucked in, stopping to get my laundry multiple times, thought that maybe 2h passed…. Realised what the time it was and the length of the video after. That is some good (swearword) work son!
There's one redeeming factor for DMC2, on Dante Must Die mode, the Multi enemy bosses all constantly attack, so the last few sections are actually a bit challenging and interesting fights (especially Argosax the Chaos, because even the bosses on the other end of the arena will attack), but it's not worth just for those couple of sections
Great content covered in these videos, keep it up dude! You've got a subscription from me. P.S. - I'd drool for a Silent Hill series retrospective. They've been done to death, but I think you could bring something fresh with the content.
2:54:22 in the credo fight you can use your buster to grab the spears he throws at you and nero will throw it at him instead 3:05:27 here you can also use your buster to deflect the savior’s punch that’s the case with a lot of bosses in the game some bosses have certain attacks that can be used to your advantage if used right
This is my childhood game as well as the first game I ever played in my life this game is the best birthday gift my father ever got me I hold this franchise dear to my heart and cherish everything about this franchise including the flaws, I enjoyed your video and I hope u make more videos like this on other video game franchises, all and all the devil may cry franchise will always be my favorite video 🎮 🕹 ❤
What an awesome piece of work. This is my favorite franchise of all time. DMC1 came out during my first semester of college, so I had the newfound freedom (and irresponsibility) to spend lot of time with the franchise over the next several years. Love your take on all of them. Honestly, I’m glad you skipped over that horrendous tentacle monster boss in DMC2. That was my first realization that all the game was about was standing in the corner using guns. Sadness. Anyway, really appreciate the work you put into this!
I love the details and new information about the production of the games a lot of info I never would've known otherwise though I did spend a bit too long laughing at mallet Island being pronounced like the hammer but still stylishly done
"This demon is your reason... Your reason for fighting", says V. And suddenly it clicked in my head, after this looong time. Your reason... Urizen... Damn that smart. Never realize it coz I used subtitles, as English is not my mother tongue.
This is a really good Retrospective and I enjoyed watching it very much. Almost makes me feel nostalgic going through all the games even though I'm still a somewhat "new" fan, having played my first Devil May Cry game in 2018 but only really getting invested in the franchise after playing DMC5. I have to admit that DmC Devil May Cry was the first DMC game that I completed, I also tried DMC4 but the controls and the often fixed camera was offputing to me. But I really loved DMC5 which motivated me to go back ans play the first 4 games. I think the first and second game deserve a remake in the style of Resident Evil 2 and 3. Mostly DMC2 because it has some interesting visuals and ideas, but the gameplay is just boring. I'd also like to see Lucia back. By the way, while you're supposed to lose your many of your fights against Urizen, it is not impossible. If you do you get a secret ending which is very short and only told via text. At least you get an achivement for it. Having played DmC first without having played any of the other games before made me appreciate the thing the reboot did good or even great, and I think the Vergil DLC is a good setup for a second game which I would very much like to see as I think there is a lot of potential to tell an interesting story there and improve on a lot of short comings of the first game. I think the main games and the Ninja Theory games can co-exist.
"If you're a fan of DMC2...." I don't know of a single soul who could be described as that. The DMC community (and gaming community in general) would rather overlook the sequel, but glad that Itsuno swooped in to save the series! Great review man, glad to see another Devil Hunter join the ranks
I am that soul. I like the costume design, customizable DT, Majin DT, weapons-switching, Lucia, Furiataurus, Bolverk and how ridiculous Arius was. I'm bummed that 2 is the only Lucia-affiliated game and the first where Trish is a playable character
Don't know if you noticed, but when acquiring the Sin DT in DMC5, Vergil turns his back before stabbing himself on the painting of his family while Dante does this while looking at the painting. Just a little touch that adds a lot to both characters.
Good eye dad!
You think I’m really gonna watch a 5 and a half hour retrospective of Devil May Cry? …Of course I will, let’s rock baby!

Dry your hair
3:16:00 My favorite part about this scene is that Agnus initiated this melodrama and Dante felt that he just had to play along. Give Dante an opportunity to be extra and he absolutely will.
Absolutely!!
He’s a thespian at heart.🎉😂
Imagine Vergil taking part in that scene instead of Dante cuz he read William Blake poetry as a kid in the DMC5 manga "Visions of V" as we seen with his human side V reciting those poets cuz he loves poetry, i'm internally laughing just thinking about it
Dante & Vergils designs are not only perfectly conflicting yet complimenting but fascinating because Spardas human form is often dressed in royal purple.
Demons will hint at Dante, Vergil, or even Nero having aspects of Spardas personality but its seen best visually in the Sparda costumes.
The twins literally make up half of what Sparda was while Nero is the most human and emotional like Sparda.
Edit: This is also seen in Nero’s design. His Dmc4 default has red and blue together while his proto/beta outfit added to Special Edition is straight up purple.
I got into 4 later on, and I didn't know that was a proto outfit. I legit thought it was a semi-sparda outfit.
Fun Fact: In the original PS2 copies of DMC3, there was a glitch where Cerberus was permanently set to Dante Must Die difficulty, regardless of difficulty.
Sparda picked the right gate keeper for the Temen-ni-gru
No wonder it felt so good to kick his ass so much lol
I remember that I knew I wasn't fucking crazy
That explains ALOT 😂
That is what i call copium
DMC 3 can be played Coop with dobbleganger style.. once you defeat the game and get "unlimited Devil trigger "or even the dobbelganger skill, Controller 2 could take control of your shadow, but unlimited DT means = you can play the whole Dmc3 with a friend. Straight from the office to the end. Some of the best memories right there!
Does this work on Switch?
@wingusdingus9447 Yes it does. Switch also has actual real online co-op for the Bloody Palace mode as well.
The first boss of DMC5 isn't scripted. You can win, it's just really really hard.
Very proud how far you’ve come in such a short time, son. These series retrospectives are great and your analysis on these games make me look at them from a different perspective. And now DMC, just awesome I’m resonating with most of your thoughts spot on especially for DMC 2 lol

This overview of entire Devil May Cry series was truly a joy to experience and go along with someone who never played before. Seeing how DMC evolved and realizing how much DMC5 was a game made for all the fans.. so freakin amazing. How they built up Nero over 2 games to unleash his DT finally in 5. I got the chills watching it. Thank you for doing this and I enjoyed watching and am a little sad it’s over. Can’t wait to see where DMC goes next.
I love that this popped up on my feed as I just bought DMC5 for PS5 and I'm listening to this video as I run through the game. Very thoroughly explained. I learned a lot that I didn't know and I've been a fan since DMC1.
Glad to hear it dad!
Loved this. Devil May Cray is one of the few series I got to play since day one. I have loved all the games, even DMC. Glad you took the time to make this Retrospective.
As a huge devil may cry fan, this video is insanely entertaining and I love the effort you've put into it. I enjoy watching retrospectives, even if it's about a game I've seen a million retrospectives of, because they're all unique and this one is no exception. Well done, you've earned a sub :)
"Dante treats the moment with incredible respect...." has to be the best joke in this video.
"Rest in peace, little chicken. It's been a bash." lmao
I think for dante just saying Rest In Peace is respectful lol
The way he extends the "sh" in bash was really funny
I mean we ARE talking about Dante here, for him that is somewhat respectful, lol.
Important note: the use of "bash" when Dante favors "party" is a reference to Vergil's line in DMC3, "I was so eager to see you, I couldn't focus on preparations for the bash". He even hits the SH at the end the same. It's a small thing but it shows the love he has for his brother, even through it all, that he either chose to ease the last shard of Vergil's selflessness in its dying moments, or said subconsciously because he never stopped thinking about him.
I love hearing Dante and Vergil saying jackpot in devil may cry 3 it’s really awesome and badass, which is why I love devil may cry 3 it’s such a badass game and tons of fun I love it.
What I find funny is that Capcom is remaking the entire RE franchise. It would be nice if they remade some of the DMC games, especially the first two.
@@LegendaryDarkKnight602 i was talking to my uncle a couple days ago and said this same exact thing, they're remaking resident evil games so why not dmc, theyre 3rd most popular series other than resident evil and street fighter. theyd make sooo much money if they did remake them, hell just remake 3 with dmc 5 graphics and gameplay
It is a badass game but in a wholesome way. I think that's why it's so unique. Definitely my favorite game of all time. Been playing it every other year since I got it back in like 2009.
@@Megumi646 indeed same here as well 😎
Dante: Let me be the one to fill your soul with LIGHT!
Voice Actor: Can we do a retake?
Director: 😂 Not in a million years.
😂😂🤣
This was early 2000s Capcom. No one did a second take on any voice lines. I find endearing. My biggest dislike of modern Resident Evil games is the competent voice acting.
Wasn't that when Trish died that Dante said that ?
@@someguy9678 In the first game yes. The second part of my comment was taking a pot shot at his God awful counterpart.
@@nilus2kin sonic 06 theres a gun soldier that says his line and then stutters half way through and starts over all in the same take its great
You can actually press exceed button right after every sword swing as nero, every combo has slightly different timing, making it instantly charge the exceed gauge, but i think you already knew that.
Is that how you use that mechanic? I started DMC 5 recently and I was always trying to hold down the button and attack and nothing was happening.
@@MeatSnax yes, it takes a little bit of practice because boosted attacks has faster animation and basically every sword moves can be exceed
@@yuulb.alwright I think action games have left me in the dust, I was struggling to figure exceed out, and I just now got the hang of heat actions in Yakuza after like 10 hours 🙃
@@MeatSnax well every mechanic is different, because every action game is different. Exceed is about timing, heat actions are about fulfilling conditions mid battle
My most used move is calibur max exceed.
UA-cam's algorithm must be broken, this recommendation has come 6 months too late.
Great video as always son, I'm very proud of you.
As someone who platted all DMC games, yes, even DmC, let me tell ya, it was one of the most frustrating yet fun experiences I have ever had
DMC is the game franchise that makes you want to smash your controller the first time you try it, but after half of each game you feel like a freaking one man army slicing every enemy on your way
Yea i feel ya, DmC is one of the best games. The rest are frustrating.
"..., right in plane sight." That deadplan was so flawless that it seem a lot of people just missed it entirely. Maybe it was just too flat?
The revelation that Dante's name was originally Tony sent me into a fit of laughter. 😂 I'm picturing him working in a financial office in a button down shirt with glasses. Idk why but the idea of this alternate universe is sending me! 💀💀
Sees the 5 hr Retrospective
“Ahhhhh, finally something to make the workday better”
You done well kiddo.
You really were the one to fill my dark soul with light.
2:28:27 Just wanted to point out that you got Bingo and Yuji's roles and story switched up. Bingo was the scenario writer on both 3, 4, and later 5 and he was the one who left Capcom during devlopment but returned at Itsunos request. Yuji was the cutscenes director and had no input on the writing beyond how it was presented.
Thank you for the info!
Also yuji wasn’t even working for capcom, the dmc3,4 and 5 cutscenes were done by just cause entertainment
As a player having 400+ hours in DMC5, I will try to explain what the "end game" experience for 5 is like, to those that aren't that familiar about the game.
So the end game basically is, a fast paced action where you constantly react to enemy attack patterns, and counter that with the skill/weapon of your choice. What's different from other hard games, is that DMC adds an extra criteria to judge your combat besides efficiency/damage output, called "style".
You are encouraged to do dangerously timed dodges, parries with seemingly useless skills, or utterly harmless taunting, and the game will praise you for it. So while other games you maybe spamming the most powerful attacks to obliterate bosses, in DMC(5) you are putting on a show to mock and dominate whatever stands before you.
While DMC is a series famous for being hard, the series has evolved towards this "style" concept, and by DMC5 it's actually being focused more than difficulty. In fact if you are willing to, there are mechanics and weapons in DMC5 that you can just spam and win any fight with.
So I suggest new players to not expect difficulty in the likes of the Souls series and aim for the efficiency, but to immerse yourself as a care-free devil hunter, mocking and fooling around with demons, as the game intends.
Thanks I needed a comment like this, because DMC5 is my first in the series. DMC5 was on a steam sale (xmas) so I picked it up recently and I've clocked 100 hours. I seem to be stuck plateauing on DMD although I A-rank most lvls on this difficulty...
I've been doing it wrong, I think you're right in that DMC rewards risk taking and creativity. I was always just using safe efficient moves that are generous in terms of building style meter. But... perfect dodges/parries/guards gives so much style meter and a lot more frequently too.
Very well said. I first played dmc when 4 released and it changed the way i play most games from trying to be effective to being as disrespectful to my enemies as i can. I thought i was pretty good at that, then i found donguri990 here on yt and saw how limited my imagination was.
I love how most of DMC 5 takes place on my birthday, it makes it feel special
4:19:18 you can actually win that fight. It comes with it's own ending and everything
You're lying
Lol it's so hard though
@@WetBoy If he means the seated Urizen fight, he's right. You also get the trophy "As God intended." 😎
You sure know how to make a dad proud. I'm looking forward to this almost as much as I did Max Payne
You found a winning formula son, these series analysis videos have such a good format. Its like part lore history, part review, even part tips/guide/walkthrough at times all leading to an overall series summary. Top tier content son, top tier.
I swear there is a weird dmc craze lately, I’m seeing a bunch of people making vids recently, and I’ve even hopped back in, finished 4 finally and ordered dmc de to finally beat that one.
That makes me happy to hear because 5 is one of the best games I’ve ever played and the series deserves even more attention than it gets imo, even if it is successful.
@@jerm5466 yea same I love seeing more people get into the series, I keep telling people 5 is a fine jumping off point, and at my local game store I found the special edition new for 20 bucks
I personally think it's because of how devoted the fanbase is. Any small channel can easily get 3-4x their normal viewers on those videos!
I'm definitely not complaining, I got into the series nearly two years ago on a whim and I've loved it to death, even going into the reboot and surprisingly finding it not too bad.
The only one I haven't been able to legitimately enjoy still is 2, and this comes from the person with a HUGE soft spot for DMC 1
I noticed this too, and I'm not complaining either! DMC has carved its own place in the upper echelons of gaming and deserves all the attention it gets. I've adored this series since 2005 with DMC3 and I can't wait for the next title in the series. Hoping it's sooner rather than later. It doesn't feel like it but it's been three years since DMC5 released. That game was worthy of being called the GOTY of 2019 and one could make the argument that it's the greatest in its genre.
Side note, there's a PS2 emulator out for Android called AetherSX2 and I'm doing another run of DMC3 SE on it. Can't tell you how fun it is to be able to play the game like this. God I love this series.
A relatively new channel having a 5 hour retrospective on one of my favorite series ever? I can’t imaging the time this actually took to create! Very well written and well researched! You did good, son *subbed*
5 hours for DMC retrospective? That SSSick!
Also there's 4 novel in total which Itsuno decided to make it canon for DMC, glad you covered this because the novels aren't very well known by most DMC fanbase.
Stylish Dad!
DMC5 has so much good stuff! My favorites being that Nico actually looks exactly like Goddess of Time with her welding mask on and the Dr. Faust cutscene that basically eludes to the fact that Dante fooling around with new weapons is actually happening in real time every time, and that German suplex you do countering Vergil's flying attack with DT Devil Bringer as Nero - that is amazing!
Oh misunderstanding on Vergil's motives - he wants power not really for survival sake, but rather to never again lose anyone/anything precious to him. Hints on it scattered throughout the media. Probably the largest one is his line to Dante in DMC3 how "Might controls everything and without power you cannot protect anyone". Not to write whole paragraph here - wiki breaks down the whole thing in detail.
Hey Son, just wanted to let you know that DMC was a big game I used to play with my friends! I'm new to your channel and am excited to fall asleep to this for the next few months!
Became of a fan of your channel thanks to your "Legacy of Kane" retrospective and now you have a 5 hour retrospective on my favorite franchise? You have done well good sir 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you for these well done masterpieces ✌🏿
*Kain
Same here actually!
Woah, whilst it's no Tokimeki Memorial, DMC in it's entirety definitely warrants a 5+ hour video. And being on a DMC kick lately myself, having a new video by my favorite son fit the theme is awesome! Proud of you!
thanks dad!
DMC5 character models are interesting. They used real people's faces to model them. And even when Dante and Virgil do look near identical if they had the same haircut, they both used two different people
Thank you for your hard work, it was a joy going through this retrospective with you. Keep doing what you do, it's highly appreciated :)
You are still criminally underrated, son. You're like Joseph Anderson and Matthew Mathosis combined lenght and gameplay analysis wise, all you need I think is some deeper insights into lore and stuff with your own interpretation to mix it up. I'm proud of you, son.
Thanks Dad, thats high praise.
First Raycevik, then Whitelight, now you! This has been a great month for long form analysis videos! Excellent video, as always, my son.
A very flattering comparison dad!
I wish Visions of V was included as part of the additional reading, it does an amazing job of fleshing out V (and my extension Vergil). Other than that, great job, this must have been a mamoth undertaking
This video fills my dark soul with light. I'm proud of you son.
I'm so happy I found you again. You're the only person that respected my favorite game fable enough to make an actual retrospective of the similar scope. You're so awesome
One thing you forgot to consider is the Visions of V Manga, it had been recently completed in its entirely (as in July 2022) and it reveals some depth and emotions and development towards Vergil and making him a far more interesting character overall.
A little nitpicking on DMC3 section,
1. The moment you said "demon attacks Vergil". Nope it is not. That demon is the one you fight in mission 2 and goes back to Vergil to report something of some sort, Vergil is its boss there. He just doesn't care so he kills it.
2. Agni and Rudra are not Fire and Ice, they are Fire and Wind.
3. Trial in Mission 6 that you need to fight enemies and 2 power wheels to hit. They DO take damage, they just forced in Devil Triggered mode until you lit up 2 power wheels to temporary disable their Devil Trigger. You can straightly fight them as they are and they can die but it will takes very long time.
4. Right side of Leviathan's heart does not only absorb white orb, it also drains out your Devil Trigger runes.
5. Nevan uses bats not crows.
6. King switches with Rooks not Pawns. However, you should deal with Pawns firsts since if they go to the end of another side they can turned into Bishops/Knights or Rooks.
Thanks for the information dad!
I would call that basic gmae knowledge rather than a nitpick. Makes you wonder if he even played the game.
Nicos grandmother made the pistols. Only correction needed. awesome video
This video was incredibly well put together. You've organized it in such a way that makes it really easy to understand the timeline and what's going on in the games, without the viewer even needing to play them or having a prior understanding of the backstory. I think the points you've made throughout the video were spot-on and I couldn't agree more with your perspective. It's amazing that you took the time to not only play the games, but play them multiple times through with alternative characters and gamemodes to get a true understanding of what each title has to offer. I couldn't imagine how long this video took you to create, between playing all of the titles, recording, script writing and endless editing. Excellent work! :)
I played Devil May Cry 1 and 2 shortly after their original releases back in the day. I loved Devil May Cry 1 but was heavily disappointed by the second installment for the same reasons you pointed out in the video. After this, I avoided future titles for fear of them further damaging my appreciation of the series (not realizing that Devil May Cry 3 was such an awesome game). I decided to pick up the DMC reboot when it released to give the series another try. I can't say I was disappointed, but the blatant disrespect that Ninja Theory showed throughout the game, terrible writing during cutscenes and overall changes they made to Dante's character really drew me away from the series again.
It's kind of sad that I seemingly skirted around most of the really good titles in the series (DM3, DM4 and DM5) and only played the ones that didn't do justice to the series, aside from DMC 1 of course.
Thanks dad!
@@YourFavoriteSon1 This video, alongside a few other DMC videos that UA-cam has recommended to me has inspired me to start a new series on my channel where I play a full game start-to-finish and provide commentary along the way. DMC1 is up first on the chopping block, and I would love to give this video a shoutout at the end of my video. Would you be alright with this?
As a 34 year old gamer, watching you play DMC 1 was painful. Phantoms fireballs can be hit back at him and do like 25% damage. And Dante has 3 basic combos that I never seen you use: 1)Triangle, 1 second puse, Triangle x3. 2) Triangle x3. 3) Triangle, Triangle, 1 second pause, Triangle x10.
Recently bought DMC1 and 3 but don't have time to play... thank you for doing this thorough look at them. I can hear these while working. Not the same, but thank you!
You are my new favourite UA-camr!
You're an impressive content creator. Not because of the length of your content, but due to the quality and genuine appreciation you convey. Great job, looking forward to see whatever you do in the oncoming year(s)
Thanks dad, that means a lot
Loves these multi-hour overviews of a series. They keep me company while my new born is up at night. Nice job 👍
Me: 5 hours!? No way I'm watching this!
Vergil: Where is your motivation!?
Do it for dante
...
Give this man his flowers. The amount of work he put in to create this retrospective is epic.
Just came across this channel.
This is one of the best UA-cam videos I have ever watched in any category hands down.
Great work! Keep it up.
Something I've needed everyone to understand for a LOOONNG TIME is the coin in DMC2, and why it isn't corny at all, is summed up PERFECTLY by his line at 2:08:55 about who Dante is.
The double sided coin is quintessential Dante once you see how that line connects to him using it as opposed to simply agreeing to help people.
DMC3 came out when I was in 6th grade the pain waiting for 5 was brutal man. But it was worth the wait glad new fans are getting into it. Great video I am shocked you even finished 2 and the reboot. I will never touch the reboot with a 20 foot pull
Good thing you missed the second game, waste of money.
@@LegendaryDarkKnight602 I only found 2 to be fun because I was 8 years old when I played it
@@TheMasterblah My situation was funny, I never thought about playing the first game. But when the second game came out I thought I'd give it a try, went looking for the second game and found the first one instead. I played it, and was hyped up for the second game. When I finally found it I realized I must've found the Grand Central of disappointments. Imo it would've felt more fun if it didn't follow the first game, but came before it. Like they stripped down the first game, put it back together but left a lot of useful parts laying around.
thank you for the time you put into this video. As someone who only plays pc (on a toaster level laptop) I'm unable to play these games. deffinitely gonna surprise my BF with my new knowledge of DMC lore
These retrospectives are so well done son. Seriously incredible quality. Keep it up
Thanks dad!
I've laid around listening to this video probably five times now. This is my favorite video from my favorite son.
Glad you love it dad!
I was just watching your fable retro on a whim reminiscing old days.. and found this dmc vid, watched full. Enjoyed your video it was awesome, informative, highly remarkable. And this dad-son thing is a great concept. Keep up the great content son. Your video quality does not match the subscriber count, noticed it super late after finishing this video. Subscribed. Keep it up YOU are doing great. Content, video quality, editing everything is top notch like 10 mil subsciber++ level.. hope u grow up well son, content-wise and subscriber-wise hehe... Good luck!
I watched this video initially as "background noise" while grinding in a game. Ended up shutting down said Game to watch your Retrospective more attentively. Splendid work, Son! Seems like you ARE winning. Enjoyed the ride - now I want to revisit every single DMC game. Thanks for that! Dante must Die - here I come.
Thanks dad! Glad you liked it!
@StilgarAstartes
You listened to this as background noise while playing a game. While I'm having this as background noise while writing a book that hopefully won't be too frightening to a certain pearl clutching group of people...
@@DemonicRemption Ooh! I love books! Especially comedy - it tastes so funny! :) Just kidding of course. Shoot me the title when it's done. I'd like to read it - and I don't scare easily from words!
Five and a half hours well spent, this is a fantastic work
I'd still say Vergil was a definitive antagonist in DMC3. Sure, he wasn't the ONLY antagonist, but for sure an antagonist. Since all you really need to be an antagonist is to simply be the opposition to the protagonist. And Vergil pretty much does that for the entire game except for in that one fight with Arkham. And the feeling is reciprocated. Dante antagonizes Vergil almost as much (maybe more).
I love devil may cry 5 it was personally my game of the year of 2019
Funfact: in DMC 3 there is a hidden co-op. In Doppelganger style, during Devil trigger state, hit start on 2nd controller in order to allow 2nd player to control the Doppel. After finishing the game on certain difficulty, you unlock the unlimited devil trigger so you can play infinitely in co-op all missions. Also, this co-op feature affects the final fight vs Arkham so 2nd player controls Vergil this time.
I never reached the end of DMC, and I am honestly impressed by just How Bad Virgil's heel turn is.
"Man, that happened... By the way I'm evil."
What the fuck are you talking about
@@SalesmanWave Virgil's heel turn at the end of DMC. And it's lack of quality.
@@calemr kinda fucking hilarious though...
Don't forget that he's powerful out of no where. He almost gets smoked by the swat yet now he is on par with dante
I just binged your channel for the first time son, and I can’t say I’ve seen higher quality commentary. Your style if by far my favorite, and I’m so looking forward to more videos!
DMC: Devil May Cry was actually my first DMC game xD. i really enjoyed it and it made me love Dante & Virgil, Its also why when DMC5 came out i bought it right away, even tho it wasnt the same as the reboot, I knew it would still be amazing & make me love the characters even more
Truly the scholar of Sparda, this one thanks for the video
Excellent retrospective. I love that you covered every entry in the series.
I reallly like Devil May Cry and I will be honest to admit that my favorites are:
Devil May Cry - The first I played and I had a blast with this title on the PS2 back in 2001.
Devil May Cry 4 - I loved the graphic upgrade thanks to the power of the new generation consoles (PS3-360), and I liked the introduction of Nero and his fighting style.
Devil May Cry V - I loved the closure to the series and the ending of the Devil family (so far). Graphics and gameplay were great.
By the way, I would have loved a game from the series, even a spinoff for the PSP or PSVita ... oh well.
Saludos.
I just finished your legacy of kain video and I am ready to binge this. Keep up the good work son.
5+ hours of DMC content? I NEED MORE POWER!!!
Now, IM MOTIVATED!!!
I love the story of the Devil May Cry series, but can never bring myself to actually finish the games (I always wonder off part way through). Watching cutscenes or analyses really makes me appreciate the amazing story behind it all.
Ho-lee-shiiit,man. This was an incredible odyssey of a video retrospective, and I can’t imagine how much time and effort was involved in putting it together, from filming, writing, and editing everything into a cohesive whole (not to mention how long it must’ve taken to upload, haha). Content like this is a massive inspiration to small channels like mine - I’m currently working on my first big review/retrospective - and seeing how successful this video turned out to be gives me a big boost of confidence for pushing through to continue working on that project. You’ve got my subscription going forwards, and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with. Also I just saw that you have a Legacy of Kain video which I’m gonna watch next time I have a few spare hours. Thank you again for putting all your time, effort, and heart into your awesome work, and keep ‘em coming!
I got into dmc less than a year ago but ive been completely infatuated ever since. Ive played all 4 games, been through the process of replaying them, and have watched literally every dmc video on this platform. Or so i though until i saw a 5 hour long video!!! I am literally overjoyed that someone has made more contnet for me to consume. I cant wait to come back and gush once ive finished!
This was a really good retrospective. You seem to put some serious work into these.
As a fellow LoK and old school Resident Evil fan I Love love love your username 💜
@@neofluxmachina Thanks took me ages to come up with :)
Thank you for reviewing 3 of my favorite game franchises back to back. Keep up the great work
Let's make it 4 dad.
I love when new players try my favorite game series ❤❤ couple of points and details you might of not tried or found out.
You also only mention that DT boost mobility and attack power and speed but you also regenerate.
Dmc3 - beowolf fight if you hit his face you can stun him.
Belreul- if you diminish his flames you can also buster him and do a slam attack.
Dmc4 - you should of tried buster on bosses it does amazing animations and deals a shit ton of damage alone and with DT it extends it.
Frog boss- if you damage the tendril enough when it turns red you can grab it and bring the frog out.
Or when you damage the frog from removing its ice spine you can grab its tongue or its tail.
Ekidnah- as nero when ever she was spiting out the demons from her sack you can also buster it or when she is in the ground stunned you can buster her as well.
Mephisto/faust- its actually easier to devil bring it 3/5 times and boom its in its bug form.
Angus - you dont have to buster the sword flying you can just walk up to it and swing you sword. And when you stun agnus you can also buster him
Credo- you can buster his shield to break it.
Dante- if you run up and buster him you guys can clash and do some nice damage.
Thanks for the tips! Still continuously playing dmc v over and over lol
Im trying to platinum dmcV its been a challenge and really fun
Whats the best kind of video when you cant sleep? An Exploration of one of my favourite franchises.
This series is dope reminds me of salt factory but you hit all the games and do a longer vid, love it.
Me who just wanted to listen to something while drawing, getting sucked in, stopping to get my laundry multiple times, thought that maybe 2h passed…. Realised what the time it was and the length of the video after. That is some good (swearword) work son!
My biggest gaming sin: not having played any of these games yet, lol.
Play em
There's one redeeming factor for DMC2, on Dante Must Die mode, the Multi enemy bosses all constantly attack, so the last few sections are actually a bit challenging and interesting fights (especially Argosax the Chaos, because even the bosses on the other end of the arena will attack), but it's not worth just for those couple of sections
This channel is literally one of the best on the site. You should have 100k subs easy.
Soon.
Funnily enough Lady has known Dante longer then Trish
Great content covered in these videos, keep it up dude! You've got a subscription from me.
P.S. - I'd drool for a Silent Hill series retrospective. They've been done to death, but I think you could bring something fresh with the content.
an over 5 hour insight into one of my favorite series?
....
Jackpot.
2:54:22 in the credo fight you can use your buster to grab the spears he throws at you and nero will throw it at him instead
3:05:27 here you can also use your buster to deflect the savior’s punch
that’s the case with a lot of bosses in the game
some bosses have certain attacks that can be used to your advantage if used right
I loved finding that out! After I grabbed one of the bosses I tried to do it to every enemy in the game just to see what it did.
@@Williamjacob7789 There's also the Buster having new grab animations with the Devil Trigger version.
I'll forever, unironically, love the "Not in a million years" line. It's just fun, like the game it comes from, which I love.
This is my childhood game as well as the first game I ever played in my life this game is the best birthday gift my father ever got me I hold this franchise dear to my heart and cherish everything about this franchise including the flaws, I enjoyed your video and I hope u make more videos like this on other video game franchises, all and all the devil may cry franchise will always be my favorite video 🎮 🕹 ❤
What an awesome piece of work. This is my favorite franchise of all time. DMC1 came out during my first semester of college, so I had the newfound freedom (and irresponsibility) to spend lot of time with the franchise over the next several years.
Love your take on all of them. Honestly, I’m glad you skipped over that horrendous tentacle monster boss in DMC2. That was my first realization that all the game was about was standing in the corner using guns. Sadness.
Anyway, really appreciate the work you put into this!
I love the details and new information about the production of the games a lot of info I never would've known otherwise though I did spend a bit too long laughing at mallet Island being pronounced like the hammer but still stylishly done
"This demon is your reason... Your reason for fighting", says V. And suddenly it clicked in my head, after this looong time. Your reason... Urizen... Damn that smart. Never realize it coz I used subtitles, as English is not my mother tongue.
You seriously didnt get that in the first 5 seconds?
@@scarletknight1996 I'm not kidding. I am that dense. And English is not my 1st language.
This is a really good Retrospective and I enjoyed watching it very much.
Almost makes me feel nostalgic going through all the games even though I'm still a somewhat "new" fan, having played my first Devil May Cry game in 2018 but only really getting invested in the franchise after playing DMC5.
I have to admit that DmC Devil May Cry was the first DMC game that I completed, I also tried DMC4 but the controls and the often fixed camera was offputing to me.
But I really loved DMC5 which motivated me to go back ans play the first 4 games.
I think the first and second game deserve a remake in the style of Resident Evil 2 and 3.
Mostly DMC2 because it has some interesting visuals and ideas, but the gameplay is just boring.
I'd also like to see Lucia back.
By the way, while you're supposed to lose your many of your fights against Urizen, it is not impossible.
If you do you get a secret ending which is very short and only told via text. At least you get an achivement for it.
Having played DmC first without having played any of the other games before made me appreciate the thing the reboot did good or even great, and I think the Vergil DLC is a good setup for a second game which I would very much like to see as I think there is a lot of potential to tell an interesting story there and improve on a lot of short comings of the first game.
I think the main games and the Ninja Theory games can co-exist.
Bro I hope your channel blows up soon! I didnt realize how much I anticipate your new content until right now lol.
Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks dad!
DMC5 excesed just by existing 🙌
"If you're a fan of DMC2...." I don't know of a single soul who could be described as that. The DMC community (and gaming community in general) would rather overlook the sequel, but glad that Itsuno swooped in to save the series!
Great review man, glad to see another Devil Hunter join the ranks
There has to be some....or 1 out there, right?
I am that soul. I like the costume design, customizable DT, Majin DT, weapons-switching, Lucia, Furiataurus, Bolverk and how ridiculous Arius was. I'm bummed that 2 is the only Lucia-affiliated game and the first where Trish is a playable character
DMC continues to be 1 of my favorite game series of all time ! ❤
