    Yeah Hideki Kamiya developed games having enemies attack you off screen is sadly a running theme that was not let go. Also since Johnny didn't mention this: If you happen to use a Healing item (Which you can only carry one of each type for context) on mission 1 or die and use a Yellow Orb (which drops you off at the room you entered) in the first 2 missions or two yellow orbs in the 3rd mission, the game asks you if you want to switch to Easy Automatic.
    If you do switch, Dante takes less, deals more, some more deadly enemies don't appear, your melee combos are performed automatically, you can hold square to fire your guns, you start with 5 blue orbs and 3 purple orb taken from the shop, and you can carry more items.
    In exchange, your LOCKED into the difficulty, and after beating the game, you can only NG+ into Easy Automatic again. Also on a normal playthough, you can only NG+ into higher difficulties, with no way to return to older difficulties unless you start a New Game. It wouldn't be until DMC2 where Mission Select is a thing.

    That being said, calling DMC1 antiquated is pretty on the mark. Pretty much everything that the game tries/introduces is improved upon later in the series. Plus all of the stuff that is not made obvious to the player: like switching main weapons with R3, the perfect charge on Ifrit's attacks, the two different taunts, etc. Looking forward to seeing videos on the later entries!

      And yes! You can get the taunts more consistently (I even just checked on the PS4 port to be sure). The 1-handed taunt will come out by just a light, quick press of R2. And I mean really light to get it consistently.

    Hoping you'll give higher difficulties a try in the later games at least, DMC handles difficulty better than almost any series with how it changes up enemy formations in every mission and also gives them new attacks, knowing that the player is almost certainly on NG+ and also has additional tools of their own, and it just makes repeat playthroughs feel wonderful with the fairly short length of these games

    i think the dodge roll is something you'll get use to as the series goes on because with the amount of move you have at your disposal when locked on as the series continues, you'll rarely ever wanna let go of lock on unless you wanna circle the stick to hit enemies around you with the basic combos

    DMC1 is my favourite game- actually no, it's my favourite thing in general. It's nice to see you finally trying it.
    All I'll say about DMC2 is play as Lucia. Her campaign is much shorter & Dante is just more of the same.
    Also at 20:16 there is no need to pause. You can press R3 to switch weapon during gameplay.

    In page 222 of the 3142 Graphic Arts artbook interviews, producer Motohide Eshiro and director Hideaki Itsuno detailed the difficulties in developing the HD Collection port of DMC1. Because some of the backup data for this game were missing, the team had to recreate parts of the game while watching the original version, especially since the people who made the original were no longer there to help. In contrast, the HD versions of DMC2 and DMC3 were easier to develop because their backup data and Itsuno (who worked on both games) were already available.

    While it can be rough around the edges the original Devil May Cry is honestly really fun. People might think I'm crazy but the scene when Dante screamed "I should have filled your dark soul with light" despite being meme-worthy and silly I thought it was kind of moving. It showed that despite the cold demeanor he still cared for others. If you played DMC 3 you'll understand. BTW You need to play DMC 3 on the switch. It has a new feature that it's incredible and Smoking Sexy Stylish!
    About DMC 2 the reason why there are 2 discs is because they are both separate campaigns. One on Dante and the other on Lucia. After playing and experiencing dmc 2 I honestly think you'll have a better time with Lucia. For one her levels are short sweet and to the point compared to Dante, she's faster and more fun to play as Dante, and in terms of story is better compared to Dante because without spoiling much she has a pretty decent character arc. DMC 2 while not awful is so underwhelmingly mid. Didn't hate it but I can see why it's not great. It at least helped me apreciate DMC 3 even more. I hope Capcom makes ports of DMC 4, 5 and DMC: Devil May cry on the switch. And be just a standard release. No any of that cloud gaming bull crap.

    Always look forward to these! Heard a lot about DmC over the years & I’m very excited for this deep dive.
    Also, while I find it really cool that they took some inspiration from the Divine Comedy, I read the originals, and…let’s just say that there’s only minor similarities in plot elements, at best. The original is still great though; interesting symbolism, difficult to get into, but a good translation with notes (I read the Ciardi one) helps a lot with that.
    Loving the vid so far!

    • @shawnfields2369

      Can't agree more; dude. Because I HAVE been through the entire series, from DMC1(the PS2 original; and even the HD re-release; in 2012), to the Animated Series,(which is a short; 12 episode series; that's just fine, and keeps the flow of the DMC games going, and is a pretty good series to watch, and i have; like 3 or 4 times),
      and even through 2(even playing through and even not minding either campaign; playing them both; back to back; and even found myself enjoying them; at least; when you get the full story; of DMC2 which; wasn't definitely wasn't anything, you know; "oscar worthy"; but it was definitely; something worth playing through; as a hardcore DMC fan; and especially since DMC2 is 20 years old this year; even if it may very well be the "worst DMC game; its still part of the series legacy; and deserves some recognition; you know?).
      And; I've even through both versions of DMC3: Dante's Awakening(which is an awesome name);
      And both the PS2 version and the HD PS3 and PS4 versions; which didn't have Style Switching, but it sounds cool.
      And I've also played DMC4 and 5. The only ones I've NEVER been through myself? The Special Edition of the 2012 Reboot;
      Also: "DMC4: Special Edition"; which had some special playable characters;
      "Devil May Cry 3 Dante's Awakening: Special Edition"(the Switch version), mainly because i didn't even know there WAS a DMC3SE on the Switch; in the first place!)
      and: "Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition"; not because I'm not as into DMC as before or anything like that; oh; no, DEFINITELY NOT that!) But because I simply don't have a working TV or a PS5 to play them on; that's all. But I'm glad these Special Editions of the DMC games exist; because this franchise needed some extra love, and I'm glad it's getting it, especially from Johnny.

    I know this will be pedantic but, the game does say flat out that Nelo Angelo is Vergil, Dante's brother, but only in the game's archives/boss files, by which I mean in the pause menu you have a tab where you can see descriptions of each boss, with these files being updated every time you fight them again...
    This game had a nasty habit of not telling you stuff though, like how you can pull off more moves with your swords depending of the timing of your button presses, some moves you only learning exist by playing on easy automatic

    17:30 Speaking of airborn advantage, holding the melee button while performing High Time (Lock-on + back + melee) will bring Dante into the air with the enemy. You can do this in all the other games as well. Generally, the name of the game in DMC is to keep yourself and the enemy in the air as much as you can to rack up damage while keeping yourself out of harm's way. Using Enemy Step (pressing the jump button while close to an enemy while in the air) will allow you to jump off of an enemy and extend your air time. Doing so will make you a lot more efficient.

    Johnny, the real way to play through a Devil May Cry game (except 2) is to go through the game with a new game+. Kamiya has already said before that the games he makes turn the first playthrough into a tutorial. The *real* fun comes after you're familiar with the level design and combat, with a mostly unlocked moveset. At that point, you can get REALLY creative with how you fight, which is the core gameplay appeal of DMC.

    11:41 Having read Divine Comedy multiple times, it’s very superficial in the first game, it’s just the names that are taken more than anything, although some in later games (specifically 3 and 4) take much more influence overtly. In this, it’s just the three names, Dante, Virgil, and Trish, which is fitting because Beatrice, Trish’s basis is Dante’s guide through Paradiso, so as badly read as the line is, the dark soul with light is sort of referencing that

    Quick note on switching weapons - you can switch between Alastor/Ifrit by pressing R3. It's NOT instant the way it is in later games though.
    It took me years to learn about that and I don't think it's in the manual, so it doesn't diminish the point, but I thought I'd point it out.

    I would actually really love to see they REimagined the first original DMC game into a whole new level of a survival horror game, featuring Dante aka Tony Redgrave as the main protagonist with no power, special abilities or whatsoever. Just a pure human who struggles to survive against real demons in a Resident Evil REmake gameplay style.
    Taking place in a far more darker version of Mallet Island and reboot the name of the game into “Residence Of The Devil” or simply “DEVIL”. Dante, as a special agent like Leon, having more serious personality from DMC2 version, set in a different universe of DMC, going through a real survivor horror while facing against real demons with far scarier appearances of them with very eerie music, very scary looking enemies, gothic ambiences, and awesome boss fights.
    Have Trish as the second playable character/protagonist and plays like Jill Valentine while Lady as a supporting playable character like Rebecca Chambers.

    Devil May Cry is one of those series I'm ashamed I didn't player sooner cause I didn't pick up the series until 2020 and I wish more games took inspiration from it's amazing combat and presentation. Final Fantasy 16's combat was directed by one of the people involved with DMC5's combat and that alone made me insanely excited for the game.
    DMC1 has aged surprisingly well for an early PS2 game but I really hope it gets a remake like the Resident Evils to bring out its full potential.

    That being said DMC 1 is dated with the fixed camera, attack off the screen and silly dialogue/voice acting. That being said I still recommend it only because it lays the foundation for what's to come in the series Hopefully one day we'll get a remake on the level of RE4 or RE2
