Soulstice from late 2022 is another game in this genre that takes some ideas from DmC: Devil May Cry for the gameplay. First real big project by its respective dev studio, from what i know. More Darksiders in tone, as well as gameplay influences from DMC5 and Bayonetta. Got its rough spots, as all games in this genre do, but it's a good game!
@@RadTuba03 Soulstice is really cool. (warning, fairly big comment incoming). The effort in the visuals are very clear from the get-go, but on a technical level there's also a lot: - Seven different weapons - around twenty different enemies - I believe around seven or eight bosses total - a mix of a Style meter and a Special/"Devil Trigger" meter - Multiple Special/"Devil Trigger" states. - A color coding mechanic that still makes ALL weapons viable on all enemies. - A very in-depth skill tree for the player character's dead ghost sister on her shoulder, where skills can have full currency refunds if you don't like some (and the upgrades are more mechanically substantial, not percentage-based boosts and resistances. Stuff like the dead sister shooting out a blast that now launches Medium class enemies too) - And quite a good story. Plus: - Training room - Bosses are their own individual Chapters for quickly replaying them - Colorblindness options and button remapping options. I want to be transparent in its shortcomings too, so here goes: - The game drags on in the middle. About eighteen gameplay chapters and five or six boss chapters. - there's some enemies that are a bit annoying, mainly the ones known as Stingers and Abominations. A few others can give trouble too, but i'd say that at least fifteen of the total enemy variety are managable to deal with. - You'll get most out of your moveset on a second playthrough. - Challenge rooms can be bovine manure. Which is part of what would make a full Platinum playthrough w o a g h. And things you may be "eh" on/prove conflicting: - Camera angles - Voice acting at times - The Color-Coding thing is done by way of casting a forcefield that moves alongside the player character. Which itself isn't bad, but there's a kind of timer on the amount of time you can keep either forcefield up. From the get-go this is mitigated by the fact the timer is pushed back a bit with every hit you land on a Forcefield-affected enemy, but if the timer reaches its limit, you'll be unable to hurt them for a few seconds. Thing is, there's skills that can weaponize this penalty by way of special skills for the dead sister. They do stuff leaving behind some exploding crystals, reforming quicker, and skills that boost this penalty buildup to more quickly leave those crystal mines around and reform, etc. Plus, there's a skill that expands the forcefield and one that has enemies still affected by them for a few seconds when exiting it. But those are mainly in the last two of the five total skill tree tiers. Lot to sink one's teeth into! When you check it out, i really hope you'll have fun with it and make more people aware of it. Clash: Artifacts of Chaos from last year was good too! More of an adventure brawler/fighter than an outright character action game, but good nonetheless. But for other character action/whatever-the-name games, you may want to keep an eye on the upcoming Genokids, Enenra and Yasuke: A Lost Descendant. Big comment, but if you took the time to read through it all, thank you for doing so and wish you a good rest of your day!
Oh well, I actually enjoyed my time with the game as the gameplay was really fun and that’s the most important part in these games. I made that intro before even the first video I did on the series and just put it in each video to help me ease into the content without being too abrupt if that makes sense.
Oh boy...can't wait to watch your last video; just recently platinum every DMC game too and just remember one thing from a DMC enjoyer brother...godspeed, you'll need it
Nice video, I personally love DmC and NT as a whole. I've been defending it for a long time, so it was a breath of fresh air watching this video. The only problem I have with this video is the audio when you're playing the game. It's really hard to hear what you're saying. Anyway as a small content creator myself you did a great job and keep it up. Subbed.................
Yeah this was a nicer, quicker platinum to get before the behemoth of DMC 5 which I am working on getting now 🤣. Loving DMC 5 so far and am 2 missions away from the end of the first playthrough then the pain will follow…
@danquaza9275 I’m least looking forward to Hell & Hell S ranks. I also have to do all the Vergil DLC stuff as it is a part of the main list for DMC 5 Special Edition but I don’t mind doing all that because Vergil is fun to play 💪
@@RadTuba03doing the Vergil trophies is going to be the best part. It’s so cathartic totally whipping demons left and right and being cool as hell while doing it. I’m gonna suggest getting the Legendary Dark Knight trophy done with Vergil also for… obvious reasons haha
@danquaza9275 oh yeah I was thinking about doing LDK as Vergil. I reckon the DMC 5 video will be a bit longer because it is the final episode in the series but also because there is a lot to do 🤣
dude you're totally gonna make me platinum the whole series for sureee!!!! (except the 4th and the 2nd games because one suck and the other one gonna make me tear up blood) anyways keep it up bro love your vids!
I thought that scene in the game was so funny when I saw it because it was all I could think about even the music tone was similar to the scene in GOTG2 🤣
officially finished the dmc franchise some days ago (excluding the reboot), and man, it was a blast. i liked it, albeit frustrating at many points, and also enjoyed the lore and soundtrack thoroughly. currently playing V as vergil again and im having the time of my life. As always, a great video once more. ...we don't talk about dmc 2.
That’s awesome to hear man, in the last stages of my first DMC 5 playthrough and then it will start getting painful 🤣. Reboot is well worth a go I think but definitely not necessary. DMC 2 even less so 😭
It’s a good thing that you didn’t try to get all the Achievements on the PC version. Some of those Achievements are BRUTAL. I’m still going to get them all, though.
@@RadTuba03 There are two Achievements, one for Dante and the other for Vergil, which require you to SSS Rank all their Missions on Nephilim difficulty. You also need to complete 4 Achievements that require you to beat the Heaven Or Hell AND Hell And Hell difficulties with both Dante and Vergil.
I’m not sure. I want to do Baldurs Gate 3 and then maybe the Middle Earth Shadow games. I’ve got lots of games to plat Sekiro, Dead Space etc. don’t worry I have a lot of platinums to get 💪
Every time I go back to the reboot I remember how terrible the dialogue is, in contrast, the game feels so good to play... The remaster at least, I love this game!
I can already tell you it will be a banger full of rages 🤣 I’m currently doing Son of Sparda S-ranks and had enough trouble on even some of the human ones (mission 8 mainly) and devil hunter s ranks
hold on how can you use lock on??? i played through the whole game and even looked into controls and couldn't find the lock on button, or am i just blind.
Depends on what version you played. I believe ps3 version didn’t have lock-on and it was only added to definitive edition. Literally makes no sense why they didn’t have it to begin with considering all past games had a lock-on 😅
I actually don’t mind the reboot, I don’t like everything about this version of dante but for a different take at him hes still good just not as good as the dante we are used to and grew up with for sure.
I also should mention the new combat system In this game with angel and demon weapons is alright it’s not completely terrible but compared to the originals this combat system is still alright
Are gonna tackle the Resident evil series next? Since you already did re4r and Since its only RE0, REMake (RE1R), RE2R,RE3R, Code Veronica, (Maybe the original RE4 even tho it has no 100% Trophy just regular trophies) RE5, Re6, Revelations 1&2 and RE7&8? 🧐
I feel like this game would have been better if it wasnt called DMC and had it own characters. It still wouldn't be a masterpiece but it wouldn't be as bad as it is. 😅
The reason why this game is hated is because at launch it had every kind of issue possible: frequent crashes and glitches, 30 FPS cap, lock on was automatic like dmc1's (without and indicator), color-coded enemies could only be attacked with 2 weapons (which is really annoying in high difficulties) audio looping issues, dub wasn't in sync with the speech in some languages, focus (the effect that keeps the camera on the enemy you are attacking) wasn't a thing, and there's probably a lot of things that im forgetting alongside dante and vergil feeling completely out of character, on top of that the advertising campaign for the game was absolutely reprehensible. The game you are playing is the definitive edition, a version of the reboot that improved on most of the shortcomings of the original game, making it playable, rather enjoyable if you ask me. The original version of this game is not available anymore on the playstaion store but it's available on pc, for the record, it's the only version of the game available on steam, meaning that PC players had to rely on modders to implement 23 pages of the definitve version's patch notes. Overall I enjoy the definitive edition and don't mind the innovative mechanics they added, the game is fun as of right now, but i find original games in the series preferable because of my familiarity with the combat system
The entire HD collection took me (around) 95 hours, DMC 4 = 112 Hours for me but could be around 90 if you’re quick, DmC: Devil May Cry as said in the video, 35-40 😁
@Sasuke_Yeager it is hard I won’t lie, I mean in my video of it I raged quite alot haha but it’s not impossible by any means, you do not have to be a pro to get the platinum. You can do it bro 💪
Yeah someone else also mentioned a Ninja Gaiden game. I will do it one day but I need to a) get the games and b) muster up the courage to take on the challenge 🤣
I consider the gameplay to be superior than DMC5 because DMC5 is slower because of the longer hit feedback. It's just soo smooth and you can feel every impact, even on Rebellion's basic combos
Nah man, DMC 2 sucks this game is just meh. Gameplay is good but most other things are bad but in an action game like this the gameplay being good is crucial
Fellow reboot player here. Story sucks but gameplay is awesome
I agree 100%

@jurtheorc8117 thanks man, seems like a really fun game when I check it out I’ll definitely do a platinum video I reckon 😎
00:08 You almost cannot make a DMC video on the Reboot without another “DmC Bad” circlejerk.

Was this your first game?

I also love this game, it's fantastic imo. The level design always blows my mind whenever I replay any mission, and the combat is pure fun
tip 4 dmc5, seeing as i've already platted it, get the vergil DLC and max it out. trust me it makes life less difficult.
The Vergil DLC comes with DMC 5 Special Edition but I was planning on maxing him out anyway thanks for the tip 💪
I like how all trophies are references to quotes from the original DMC games, definetly more interesting than the story 😂
Fun fact (probably obvious tho) all the achievements in DmC Devil May Cry are quotes from dmc 1-4
Great video I’ve loved all your dmc vids as I’ve also been getting the plats at the same time and I’m currently on dmc3
Nice to see you’re playing along too. DMC 3 is goated bro have fun 😁
Woohoo!! Pumped to see this. This is an easier platinum to get so i would imagine you didn’t lose interest by the end

As ugly as this game is, its gameplay is arguably the most beautiful among the series.
I consider the gameplay to be superior than DMC5 because DMC5 is slower because of the longer hit feedback. It's just soo smooth and you can feel every impact, even on Rebellion's basic combos
how could a game be the "bad one" when it got 93% positive in steam? did the haters actually bought the game and play it?
and we need DmC DMC DE on PC
ima be honest the only good thing about DmC is the gameplay but the story sucks the most
