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
It doesn't matter if it's 10 mb or 1000 when you don't HAVE a memory card.
@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.
Happened with me on RE4 I kept my ps2 on for like three days until I finished it (I was a kid so it took me longer to complete it)
Can you imagine if they had kept the name Tony?
I’m the legendary demon hunter, son of Sparta, fear at the mere mention of my name!
Tony
yas, it's is I... Tony
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.
"You're right. It's his son, Tony. Sweet dreams." lol
Foolishness, Tony, Foolishness.
Foolishness Tony Foolishness
Everyone's reaction to Trish saying I am not your enemy "what the heck lady?"
Wrong game, Lady is in the later ones XD
@@hujan1744 missed his point
@@zzodysseuszz missed his joke
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.
Every game ever
Mohamoud Adan I imagine his inner dialogue being son of ah bitch not again as he's slowly and painfully unimpaling himself
Dante gets impaled "Not again"
Raiden loses an arm "Not again"
Kratos dies and goes to whatever mythological hell "Not again"

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.
NinjaRed5000 based.
Because it was originally a Resident Evil game .
@@carlosaugustodinizgarcia3526 Yeah I was aware of that. That's why the tone and design evokes RE even though it's now it's own thing.
I think this is what makes it the best entry in the series. The other games are good but none of them will ever be as good as the first one.
@@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.
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.
MegaPhilX based.

@Kooky Golem i dont think you get the joke . So r/woosh
Growing up watching my older sister play through the first 3 games are some of my fondest memories, I absolutely adore this series.
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.
"Fill your dark soul with LIGHT!" My ringtone.
Bluemaverick11 Lmao
people must look at you weirdly in the bus
0:04 Your parents must have some good genes, and photography skills if they took that picture.
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.
"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.
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
i couldn't get up a wall in Prince of Persia and my mate's five year old skipped up it like a bunny
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.
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.
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.
Well done. I haven't played this in years, and now I really want to start it up.
"Bang Bang Bang... pull my Devil Trigger!"
Renegade Scottista let’s Rock!
Eh...themes too peppy compared to the music in the other 4
Blast!
That part made me have goosebumps
Yeah real dmc fans make old references
My personal favorite in this franchise. Gotta love the gothic horror vibe with stylish action.
I love your voice, you sound very cool, and remind me of those voice actress who play the cool calm and collected anime female characters.
LETS ROCK SUZI!!!!
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.
Also I think we can all agree the first game has the best ost and at least one of the top 2 designs for Dante.
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.
The first game will always be my favorite, no other DMC game has had the same atmosphere like the first game had.
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...
Cause you gotta light em up... step aside, reload, it’s time to go!
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.
Ever notice how all of Dante's friends' first interaction with him is them trying to kill him?
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.

Anyway, good video as always ! Managing to cover the essential in a short period of time isn't that easy =o
"I should have been the one to fill your dark soul with liiiiiight!"
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 just bought the HD collection ❤️
Same. I think devil may cry 5 looks pretty good. So i bought the original 4 games in a bundle.
Same, just now
Best avatar version so far XD
O god you have los illuminados logo in your profile pic!!! Respect!!!!
I agree!
Your voice is so therapeutic and sophisticated I could listen to it for ages. Please make more videos I love your content!
8:52
Make the angels scream and the devil cry(tears of joy) with that lovely image~
"You've really crossed the line!
Your hate for me is Divine!"
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..
*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.
Pompadour Pug I’M FEELIN’ MOTIVATED
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.

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.
Sue, even as a child you had powers. There's gaming blood in you🤣😂😆
Thank you for making this video. Its great to see more people express their love for and recommending this amazing series.
8:53 such an amazing picture...and it fits your voice really well...
"Something really cool"
>Style meter goes to Cool
Never seen this channel before, but I'm hooked. Love your overall calm nature while talking about this crazy action game.
I've been binging your videos since yesterday. Thanks for making my work day better!
*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*
Your voice is beautiful! I also like your style and DMC series. Can't wait for more!
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.
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.
I'm a simple man I see a Sphere hunter I click keep up the great quality content Sue :)
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.
Your voice and delivery are incredible, I was kept interested until the end. Definitely makes me want to give Dmc 1 another shot.
Just found this channel and I gotta say I love your content
in fact, I'M ABSOLUTELY CRAZY ABOUT IT!!
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*
Love DMC. DMC3 is one of my favorite games ever. The rivalry with Dante and Virgil is one of the best in gaming.
Thanka for giving one of my favorite games series love hun. Hope to hear more of your history with the series and I hope as much as the rest of us your hype for dmc 5 coming out next year. I know I will be and I will be happy to stream it both on twitch and here when the time comes
I just found your channel, instantly subscribed. I love these deep capcom studies. RE, DMC, and the Onimusha series (that I hope you cover someday) are some of my all time faves.
Very much looking forward to devil may cry 5 and looking forward to more of your videos dealing with dmc and resident evil
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 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.
That avatar redesign is...Smokin' Sexy Stylish!
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.
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.
I always look forward to your videos :) thank you for covering some of my favorite games!
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
Also can't forget to mention the soundtrack for this is still as timeless as it was first released, absolute adrenaline inducing bangers!
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!
I absolutely love your channel. One of the few I'm subscribed to. I bought the HD collection for PS4 yesterday and can't wait for the weekend to start these.
oh my gosh I really love your voice
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.
The time has come and so have I...it was at 8:53
Hey L
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'm really glad I found your channel. it was the Resident Evil what drew me in, as that series stands among my favorites, but I love your general style and presentation, and your voice is so calming.
Now, I know you may not be a fan RE4, as you prefer the older trilogy/games and RE4 is a very popular but divisive entry that changed the fundamentals of the series going forwards. That said, it's my personal favorite, and I'd love it if you could cover it in a video or two. Or three, or... four.
Anyway, nice work, and
whoa Sue DT...... Now i'm Motivated!!!!!
Agreed
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
Oh that make sense why your avatar looks familiar, it was Ittla drawn and he specializes in Onis. Great review!
I’ve been waiting for this 😭😭 thank you suzi!
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 would love to play as DT Suzie along with Trish and Lady in "Devil May Cry Sphere Hunter edition"
So glad i ran into your channel just now to one of my beloved video game at all times!! and new sub
Gosh dang it i love your videos so much. Your taste in video games is just so much different then mine and it just makes me want to try all of these cool series. 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. :)
This episode got suddenly sexy half way through.
I love your videos, and your voice is so... like, sultry. It's definitely a nice change of pace. I also really enjoyed your Resident Evil 2 video, and I'm really looking forward to the remake as well! Keep up the quality content miss!
Excellent review; it was exactly why I fell in love with Dante & Devil May Cry. I would love to see your review on DMC3.
I'm going back to dmc1 tonight because of this video, bout to relive some nostalgic childhood moments ((:
Damn i just love how she pronounced sparta and devil may cry
Super charming and lovely voice
That was a very great Nostalgia video why we should play Devil May Cry the way you're voice carry in your video took me back down to memory lane it felt like that I was there with you living that same moment playing Devil May Cry For the First Time
Just finished watching all of your videos, please make more I love them!!!
Suzi you can't hit me with a Devil Trigger like that I can only like your content *SO MUCH OK??* ...Awesome vid btw
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
Because it's the best entry in the whole franchise. I never forget seeing a huge cardboard Dante at my local gameshop holding these gems. Immediately bought it, 2001 was a diamond for gaming..
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
