Parent didnt understand that PS2 games needed a PS2 Memory Card so I had the joy of playing DMC over and over without a way to save. I became a god at the first half of that game and will never forget beating it without saving once.
Azazreal I share the same kinds of memories with the games I played on my PS2. Sometimes me and my bros had to pass the controller along and stay up entire nights or weekends just to beat a game, due to the lack of a memory card.... Good ol’ days..
Yeah I also didn't have a PS2 memory card and always have to go over and over as a kid when I came back from school but during sometime I got a memory card sooooooo yeah
@Awakened Virtue it wasn't a ps3 with hardisk memory implemented inside the console. Back in early "00 all systems require a memory card(sold separately) for save data, not Sony only.
If there's something about Devil May Cry that I can appreciate it's that Dante getting impaled on his own sword just turns into a running gag by 4. Complete with him yanking himself out of the wall he's stuck to and then pulls the sword out as if it were no big deal.
They actually used it in the manga prequel to DMC 3 Dante used the name Tony Redgrave to cover his identity on the will of his mother before she died. Redgrave being the city that he escaped to, which is close to where he lived.
I regularly replay DMC1. It's still one of my favorites from this series. I platinumed it twice and thus finished Dante Must Die mode 3 times. This is where the amazing combat mechanics shine the most.
The first DMC is truly an amazing game, glad to see someone doing a video on it. While other DMC games have managed to fix and change a bit some of the things present in the first game (mostly for better), it still remains the only DMC game which truly feels gothic and a bit horror-like and captures the best atmosphere and consistent combat out of all DMC games.
There's just something about the original Devil May Cry that just feels unique compared to its sequels, and upon revisiting it several times, I realize because the tone and atmosphere of the game is very different, like its trying to evoke a far more horrifying atmosphere in contrast to the mostly zany antics of Dante and the combat. Its like its still trying to be a Resident Evil game but also trying to be something else.
@@swordpvnk that's debatable. While the setting and tone is unique, the gameplay itself, while setting the standard for actions games, hasn't aged that well.
This is one of my favourite games of all time. My favourite part is the level design. After playing the game twice, I feel like I know all of the rooms and the inside outs of the entire castle. Definitely the best setting in a video game I’ve played.
"Nelo angelo" is vergil. I love the cutscene when dante gets sparda for the first time and sparda sword extends and transforms, Devil may cry is a badass game.
It is incredible, how you said "Sparta" with perfect Polish accent. Idk if you know Polish, but you did an amazing job there. I've had a serious "WTF" moment, when I heard Sprata perfectly said with Polish accent. Apart from that, this is a great video. Thanks for bringing DMC developement story, and the rest that was made purely by you Sphere Hunter. You're doin' a great job.
Dante humiliating Trish at the start is still the coolest thing I've seen in gaming. As powerful as she is, she may as well be a butterfly wing stroking against a mountain.
This video series single-handedly caused me to pick up the whole series, and I have to say that watching it again partway through the first game was really helpful. I hadn't realized that devil trigger restored health, nor did I know that taunting built up devil trigger; I thought it was just a kitchy little side mechanic with no practical value. I also like the recommendation to spend red orbs on skills instead of items. Basically what I'm trying to say is: Suzi Sphere Hunter forever.
I remember my uncle giving me DMC when I was like 8 because he couldn't beat Phantom and then him not believing that I had gotten past that section he was stuck on lol
This was a very good breakdown of the original title. I remember my first fights(s) with Phantom-- eventually, I found out you can stand on his back and wail on him. And Ifrit will freaking DESTROY bosses with its charged punches. Seriously, Nelo Angelo will fold like paper after a couple full-charge punch combos. I also like who the phrase "Devil may cry" has changed a bit over the years; at first it was just a reference to how badass Dante was. In 3 it evolved to a philosophical idea that some humans are more evil than devils, and a rare few devils are actually kind. I was also kind of surprised that the final level was Starfox... Incidentally, we seldom see you smile in any of your work, but flying around with succubus wings and frying things with lightning bolts seems to agree with you. I approve.
"Let's put on something more... Devilish >8D" *adds Horns* "yEAh i'M DeVilISh NoW" Anyway, good video as always ! Managing to cover the essential in a short period of time isn't that easy =o
Commenting here because Suzi is voicing Trish in an official Devil May Cry game. Five years ago you would of lost your mind knowing that. Congrats Suzi, one heck of a journey you're on.
I think the reason why so many people say the original DMC hasn't aged well was because DMC3 existed on the same generation of console and completely blew DMC1 out of the water in terms of level design, Boss design, combat, and I'd argue even music. That doesn't stop DMC1 from being a great game mind you, but I think a lot of people believe that DMC3 is a good representation of what the series is as a whole. Love the video as always. I hope to see you do a video on the other installments too soon.
I'd have to disagree about DMC3 having better boss and level design. Certain bosses are better, certainly, but Mallet Island had a more cohesive art style and unique atmosphere, and the boss gallery of 1 (Excluding Mundus's final phase) we're all tests of different abilities of the player. While I like the boss gallery in 3, things like Leviathan's Heart, Doppelganger, and Arkham were less interesting across the whole, even with DMC1's repeated encounters. 3's combat is a clear step up, though, that's almost undeniable.
Lord Dio I actually like Demo Disc Dante better than the final design. His short coat looks stylish as fuck, shame it wasn't a costume option in any of the games.
This is my favorite game of all time. I was introduced to it at the age of four, and have been hooked ever since. Despite the graphical and gameplay improvements of the newer games, I favor this one. The difficult, yet simplistic gameplay, the amazing level designs and ambiance created by the music, and the memorable enemies are why I continue to play the game even today. And the story, though being overshadowed by the rest of the mechanics, is still there. I believe it was showed just enough to keep the game interesting. And now, sixteen years later, as I replay through on the hard difficulty, I remain on the edge of my seat.
I clearly remember being a tiny little monster at the local game store where we had PS2s there with games for us to play in case we wanted to test games before we either rented or bought them. Devil May Cry was being played one day, and it absolutely BLEW MY MIND. I thought Dante was the coolest, and actually beating Phantom in front of an audience back then was so thrilling and such a kick-ass experience that sticks with me to this day.
I like your "Devil Trigger" form you adopted for these videos. Also, you have a voice for radio. I really enjoyed listening to your review while I was working on other stuff. It made some tedious stuff I was doing a lot more bearable.
This was my first PS2 game and it was love at first sight. I have beaten this game 3 times because I tried to get everything in it. I love the whole Devil May Cry series especially the new DMC 5. Thank you for sharing your love of this game.
Devil may cry 3 has to be my favorite devil may cry game i love the beginning when Dante fights the demons in his office :D and also great video by the way your voice is so calming
Just started playing this for the first time last night and so far its pretty sweet. That spider wrecked me though, I died at least 3 times before I finally beat it (Devil Trigger mode saved me). The second boss wasn't as hard but a lot more enjoyable since I wasn't dying so much, so it felt like a real battle between two powerful beings. The Resident Evil similarities are great as a source of familiarity, in hindsight it's very clear that this began development as a Resident Evil game. And the battle music is always fun to hear, really gives off a fun slayer vibe. Definitely looking forward to continuing tonight when I get home.
I spent almost 10 years not finishing this game after an ex introduced to the series. Kind of regret not doing a recording of the gameplay with my reactions to the difficulty, but at the same time I was not in a good place emotionally. The game was fun and in forcing me to “get good” helped me easy through some frustration. Your retrospective is incredible and keep being awesome
I actually played DMC 4 before the others. Really liked it, but didn´t understand much at the time (I was probably 10 or something; plus, I´m mexican, so I was just learning how to speak english), for me it was just button mashing fun. At 17 I bought the HD collection and, I really don´t go for older games (I had a PS3 at the time, and going back to PS2 graphics didn´t quite cut it for me) but now I could understand what they were saying. Replayed DMC4 and man, the whole context really left me with this warm feeling of having played a great game. Today I´m super excited for DMC5, not exactly a die-hard fan, but definitely big enough to buy it with my eyes closed. Definitely a series worth checking out, and honestly I love how you make your videos. Your voice is so soothing and manages to express a sense of admiration and excitement without having to shout, and your little "character" appearing here and there, I absolutely love that.
Was the first ps2 game i owned. Was awe struck with how cool it was. Alistar just blasting through Dantes chest, then him going through it was legendary.
*THIS PARTY’S GETTIN’ CRAZY!* *LET’S ROCK!* Btw, DT only heals you when you use it on easy and normal. On harder difficulties it doesn’t heal you at all. Also cool reference to Air Raid in the final pic.
Yeah, definitely worth the trade off. There’s also a lot of cool exploits in the game which add a lot more depth like slash cancelling which allows you to interrupt the sheathing animation in your attacks to attack far far faster than you should be able to, and unless the enemy has super armour, you’ll hit stun them into oblivion. Alongside this there’s an alternative method to killing a certain boss which is subtly shown in the boss, and appears to be canonical according to the cutscene after beating the boss, as well as there actually being two weak points on Phantom - face and top of his back. You can even reflect his magma balls right back at him with a well timed slash. Either way, as Sphere Hunter said, the game’s got a tonne of hidden depth to it, and it’s well worth playing. If you ever want to really dig into it just go onto r/DevilMayCry and we’ll all help ya, or look up some tips and tricks videos on UA-cam.
So glad someone made a video like this. That demo disk in Code Veronica's box had some different camera angles that made the game more stylish. TSH has the best voice too. Be my Trish!
Your experience with Devil May Cry was very similar to mine. Right down to the demo disc, getting blown away by the gameplay, and loving Dante's ridiculous and hilarious character
Just played the first DMC for the first time ever, in 2019, and I do think the game holds up. We've come a long way with games like DMC3 and Bayonetta, but this first installment shows all the time how it is the start of something great in videogames. I loved noticing all the cool and innovative things and even the funny, cheesy parts like if I was playing it back when it released. All of it is still there and it impresses or makes you laugh just the same. Loved this game, loved the experience.
*This is amazing, I love your game reviews, explaining it for example the characters, boss battles, and much more! I love your channel and I can't wait for more content on your channel, have an excellent day*
This video made me smile like an idiot, definitely don't regret subbing to your channel after finding out about your content last night. Binge watched all of your RE videos and honestly considering a second go-around through the videos, you have style and I like it.
I started this series last week, DMC was torture, specially Nightmare fight three, that fight got my blood boiling, I couldn't give up because I still had to play the other three games, so I did eventually beat it. Anyway, it's a great series, I'm into it, I just beat four and I am just waiting for five to come out. Thanks for the video.
I only recently played DMC again and it's still amazing. I remember playing this sometime after it came out. The last time for me was 17 to 18 years ago. Well done and awesome video.
Every time my friend recommends me a game you make a video on it pushing me to play it more. Also you’re one of the only channels I where I watch your videos as soon as I see them.
good to know other people appreciate this classic! its always been one of my favorites and i come back to it every year. I killed phantom without taking damage last year lol
When I was a kid I used to go to a friends house to play games. One time, we couldn't because her brother was hogging the PS2. I remember being enraptured watching him play. But somehow, over time, I forgot the name of the game. It was always one of those "tip of my tongue" things. And then I saw a friend stream it years ago and I was like "omg this is the game". I'm terrible at games like these (obviously I just need lots of practice and eventually I'll git gud) and the only DMC game I have finished to this day is 5. Despite this, I have always loved the stories and videos just like this. I think this weekend imma try it again. Thanks for the inspiration.
Little tip, if you wanna dodge at the last moment and not get too far away from an enemy use jump (works in every DMC game, including the upcoming dmc 5) , you have i-frames on your way up to the peak of the jump, which allows you to continue as soon as the enemy attack has passed through you. With swordmaster you can stay in the air with areal rave and Nero can stay in the air naturally or helmbreaker the enemy into the ground!
I like to see videos of this kind, where you can say your opinion in a very personal way as if you were talking to someone, you have a nice voice, keep the good work PD: nice horns by the way
Devil May Cry is amazing. My friend got me into the series a few years ago. It's the reason I got into Bayonetta in the first place. God of War was my introduction to the hack and slash genre. I can't wait for Devil May Cry 5 since while Dad of War was a great game, it didn't really scratch that hack and slash itch for me. I don't know why, because I do love the gameplay except for the indicators for ranged attackers being horrible, but that was easy to work around.
I think the only thing that really irks me in retrospect is that we had to wait until DMC 3 for the introduction of Rebellion, which is frankly the only appropriate named main weapon for Dante (prior to DMC 5)
Very well made video. The original Devil May Cry was where I started as well, but the only way I've managed to finish it on Normal difficulty during my first playthrough was grinding for red orbs for several hours to increase my health and get new skills. (mainly because I was initially stuck on the fight at the end of Mission 6) Despite that however, I ended up replaying the game multiple times and got better and better at the game to the point where I don't need to grind at all. The original Devil May Cry may not be my favorite game in the series, but I still really like it. :)
I've never been more happy listening to someone talk about dmc. You got all your facts straight too, and I enjoy how despite how much you love and enjoy it you didn't skip on the negative parts of the game. You rock! >w< What you said about some people thinking the game hadn't aged well, I have some thoughts on that. Over the years I've heard similar things from both people trying the game for the first time and people who had played it many years ago. I can't personally see this myself when I play it, but I think there's something about the speed and animation of the jumping and running that is hard for people to get used to, not to mention the button mapping for jumping and attacking. I can't wait for the day when you cover the other games from the series as well! (I assume you may also do a review on the 5th game when it comes out too)
youll notice if you jump you cant adjust your positioning the air once you leave the ground, however you jump while moving is how youll move through the air. It gives the game a lot of weight and sense of inertia but it does so by throwing flexibility out the window. Its also why the aerial downslash is so fast feeling because, unless you fire your guns or air raid, Dante is going to drop like a rock, no floaty air attacks in this game.
I remember in High School when you beat this game on Dante Must Die mode it earned you a LOT of respect from others who knew the game. DMD is no joke. Not paying attention to sound cues? Prepare to have half your health gone. Missed the wind up animation? Now you're just asking for it. Taking too long? Oh hey all the enemies suddenly have devil trigger too.
I remember dying to Phantom for hours on hard difficulty, it felt great to win that fight and others after so many failures. I had almost forgotten the underwater part. Now it's back in my head again :(
The sound design is one of the greatest of any franchise, when there's no fight music on there's a sense of tension in the background sounds, and when the fight music is playing ... well DMC soundtrack I still listen to to this day, it's just too good

Akiba Voorhees you’re exactly right. I played one after three and my first thought was “ Holy shit this game has aged poorly”
Not only that, but story wise, 3 happens before 1 as it's a prequel.
3, 1, 4, 2, 5 is the order of story in the games.
Lord Dio I actually like Demo Disc Dante better than the final design. His short coat looks stylish as fuck, shame it wasn't a costume option in any of the games.

*THIS PARTY’S GETTIN’ CRAZY!*
*LET’S ROCK!*
Btw, DT only heals you when you use it on easy and normal. On harder difficulties it doesn’t heal you at all.
Also cool reference to Air Raid in the final pic.
cuhrayzee
GOOD TO KNOW
It also doesn’t heal you with super Dante. Considering the trade off is infinite dt I’d say that fair
Yeah, definitely worth the trade off.
There’s also a lot of cool exploits in the game which add a lot more depth like slash cancelling which allows you to interrupt the sheathing animation in your attacks to attack far far faster than you should be able to, and unless the enemy has super armour, you’ll hit stun them into oblivion.
Alongside this there’s an alternative method to killing a certain boss which is subtly shown in the boss, and appears to be canonical according to the cutscene after beating the boss, as well as there actually being two weak points on Phantom - face and top of his back. You can even reflect his magma balls right back at him with a well timed slash.
Either way, as Sphere Hunter said, the game’s got a tonne of hidden depth to it, and it’s well worth playing. If you ever want to really dig into it just go onto r/DevilMayCry and we’ll all help ya, or look up some tips and tricks videos on UA-cam.

So glad someone made a video like this. That demo disk in Code Veronica's box had some different camera angles that made the game more stylish. TSH has the best voice too. Be my Trish!
Your experience with Devil May Cry was very similar to mine. Right down to the demo disc, getting blown away by the gameplay, and loving Dante's ridiculous and hilarious character
Her cadence of speech is very Supereyepatch Wolf!
I KNOW RIGHT?
Yeah, got that vibe from the title too
Her voice is hypnotic as well. Makes me all relaxed and sleepy (In a good way.)

Interesting...
Just played the first DMC for the first time ever, in 2019, and I do think the game holds up. We've come a long way with games like DMC3 and Bayonetta, but this first installment shows all the time how it is the start of something great in videogames. I loved noticing all the cool and innovative things and even the funny, cheesy parts like if I was playing it back when it released. All of it is still there and it impresses or makes you laugh just the same. Loved this game, loved the experience.
Ever notice how all of Dante's friends' first interaction with him is them trying to kill him?
*This is amazing, I love your game reviews, explaining it for example the characters, boss battles, and much more! I love your channel and I can't wait for more content on your channel, have an excellent day*
Thank you for making this video. Its great to see more people express their love for and recommending this amazing series.
Your voice is beautiful! I also like your style and DMC series. Can't wait for more!
Me: you know I think she's sexualizing her avatar a bit.
* gets to 8:50 *
Me:.....oh.
She knows what she's doing and is doing it on purpose! The question is: Is that a bad thing? >.>
I'm *MOTIVATED*
I M E A N
NOW IM MOTIVATED
IM ABSOLUTELY *CRAZY ABOUT IT*
This video made me smile like an idiot, definitely don't regret subbing to your channel after finding out about your content last night. Binge watched all of your RE videos and honestly considering a second go-around through the videos, you have style and I like it.
Also can't forget to mention the soundtrack for this is still as timeless as it was first released, absolute adrenaline inducing bangers!
I started this series last week, DMC was torture, specially Nightmare fight three, that fight got my blood boiling, I couldn't give up because I still had to play the other three games, so I did eventually beat it. Anyway, it's a great series, I'm into it, I just beat four and I am just waiting for five to come out. Thanks for the video.
I only recently played DMC again and it's still amazing. I remember playing this sometime after it came out. The last time for me was 17 to 18 years ago. Well done and awesome video.
Very much looking forward to devil may cry 5 and looking forward to more of your videos dealing with dmc and resident evil
Your demon avatar definitely pulled my devil trigger ;) great vid!
Love DMC. DMC3 is one of my favorite games ever. The rivalry with Dante and Virgil is one of the best in gaming.
Donté, el exterminador de demonios
*Donte y Virgilio*
whoa Sue DT...... Now i'm Motivated!!!!!
Agreed
Oh that make sense why your avatar looks familiar, it was Ittla drawn and he specializes in Onis. Great review!
DMC1 and DMC3 "Original release" are what got me into this wonderful franchise back in 2005 thanks to a friend of mine at the time
12:08 That mechanic was based on Space Harrier, one of the games inspired Kamiya to be innovating and challenging on his game design philosophy.
"You've really crossed the line!
Your hate for me is Divine!"
Every time my friend recommends me a game you make a video on it pushing me to play it more. Also you’re one of the only channels I where I watch your videos as soon as I see them.
good to know other people appreciate this classic! its always been one of my favorites and i come back to it every year. I killed phantom without taking damage last year lol
When I was a kid I used to go to a friends house to play games. One time, we couldn't because her brother was hogging the PS2. I remember being enraptured watching him play. But somehow, over time, I forgot the name of the game.
It was always one of those "tip of my tongue" things. And then I saw a friend stream it years ago and I was like "omg this is the game". I'm terrible at games like these (obviously I just need lots of practice and eventually I'll git gud) and the only DMC game I have finished to this day is 5. Despite this, I have always loved the stories and videos just like this.
I think this weekend imma try it again. Thanks for the inspiration.
Little tip, if you wanna dodge at the last moment and not get too far away from an enemy use jump (works in every DMC game, including the upcoming dmc 5) , you have i-frames on your way up to the peak of the jump, which allows you to continue as soon as the enemy attack has passed through you. With swordmaster you can stay in the air with areal rave and Nero can stay in the air naturally or helmbreaker the enemy into the ground!
I like to see videos of this kind, where you can say your opinion in a very personal way as if you were talking to someone, you have a nice voice, keep the good work
PD: nice horns by the way
Damn i just love how she pronounced sparta and devil may cry
Super charming and lovely voice
I've been binging your videos since yesterday. Thanks for making my work day better!
Devil May Cry is amazing. My friend got me into the series a few years ago. It's the reason I got into Bayonetta in the first place. God of War was my introduction to the hack and slash genre. I can't wait for Devil May Cry 5 since while Dad of War was a great game, it didn't really scratch that hack and slash itch for me. I don't know why, because I do love the gameplay except for the indicators for ranged attackers being horrible, but that was easy to work around.
There's camp... And then there's going so far over the top you hit an all new kind of awesome.
I think the only thing that really irks me in retrospect is that we had to wait until DMC 3 for the introduction of Rebellion, which is frankly the only appropriate named main weapon for Dante (prior to DMC 5)
I'm going back to dmc1 tonight because of this video, bout to relive some nostalgic childhood moments ((:
You legit made me play this game. Love it. Thank you!
Very well made video. The original Devil May Cry was where I started as well, but the only way I've managed to finish it on Normal difficulty during my first playthrough was grinding for red orbs for several hours to increase my health and get new skills. (mainly because I was initially stuck on the fight at the end of Mission 6) Despite that however, I ended up replaying the game multiple times and got better and better at the game to the point where I don't need to grind at all. The original Devil May Cry may not be my favorite game in the series, but I still really like it. :)
Your Devil Trigger wings sure are nice.
That aside, the new look is gorgeous, good work~!
I've never been more happy listening to someone talk about dmc. You got all your facts straight too, and I enjoy how despite how much you love and enjoy it you didn't skip on the negative parts of the game. You rock! >w<
What you said about some people thinking the game hadn't aged well, I have some thoughts on that. Over the years I've heard similar things from both people trying the game for the first time and people who had played it many years ago. I can't personally see this myself when I play it, but I think there's something about the speed and animation of the jumping and running that is hard for people to get used to, not to mention the button mapping for jumping and attacking.
I can't wait for the day when you cover the other games from the series as well!
(I assume you may also do a review on the 5th game when it comes out too)
youll notice if you jump you cant adjust your positioning the air once you leave the ground, however you jump while moving is how youll move through the air.
It gives the game a lot of weight and sense of inertia but it does so by throwing flexibility out the window. Its also why the aerial downslash is so fast feeling because, unless you fire your guns or air raid, Dante is going to drop like a rock, no floaty air attacks in this game.
Your voice and delivery are incredible, I was kept interested until the end. Definitely makes me want to give Dmc 1 another shot.
I wonder if she's braver than the super best friends?
Its hard not to be braver than the scrublords. That's a pretty low bar (promise nothing, deliver less)
MOTHER?!
*Easy mode is now selectable*
Nero: Uncle Dante why is auntie Trish in black face.
uh-oh, the timelines are crossing..
I remember in High School when you beat this game on Dante Must Die mode it earned you a LOT of respect from others who knew the game. DMD is no joke. Not paying attention to sound cues? Prepare to have half your health gone. Missed the wind up animation? Now you're just asking for it. Taking too long? Oh hey all the enemies suddenly have devil trigger too.
Why I haven't found you until now I don't know but I'm glad I did
I remember dying to Phantom for hours on hard difficulty, it felt great to win that fight and others after so many failures. I had almost forgotten the underwater part. Now it's back in my head again :(
Sue, even as a child you had powers. There's gaming blood in you🤣😂😆
you couldve just said "because its a fucking awesome game", but the elaboration is appreciated too :)
The legendary Sphere Hunter... it can’t be!
That Devil Trigger of your’s really took me by surprise. I like it.
I would love to play as DT Suzie along with Trish and Lady in "Devil May Cry Sphere Hunter edition"
Every time I see one of your videos I just feel incredibly happy that I clicked that subscribe button.
The time has come and so have I...it was at 8:53
Hey L
The sound design is one of the greatest of any franchise, when there's no fight music on there's a sense of tension in the background sounds, and when the fight music is playing ... well DMC soundtrack I still listen to to this day, it's just too good
