The most telling thing about 5 is that most of the stuff to criticize is mainly minor things/missed opportunties: -No randomizer or disable timer option for Bloody Palace -No freeplay mode to play whatever character in any mission -No Playable Lady or Trish for SE -Removal of Reversals and Intertia for some high level combos

I feel like nobody understood V. I see even in your own footage still not using the fundamentals to his playstyle. Everyone thinks he should sit back and not attack but that's how people end up failing with him at higher levels. You need to protect your summons as much as they do you. If you're near them they constantly heal and if you give them a stock of DT it counts as additional armor which also increases their attacks. Nightmare gets increasingly smarter and more aggressive the higher your ranking when you summon him. There's a lot of nuance that's missed with his kit which is why I love him to death.

[@Adam-xd9tr]

I wonder sometimes if it's dependent on which controller people use. I got DMC5 on PC and used a mouse, and it's a lot easier to combine melee and ranged attacks when it's as simple as right and left clicking. Granted it took until playing on Dante Must Die for me to really learn V's moveset, as spamming just didn't cut it against the higher health and damage enemies have on the difficulty. I'm glad I did, thought, as it greatly increased the amount of fun I had playing as the dude. I'm hoping his unique style of fighting is refined in a future game.

[@stevenmoinian5511]

[@Superson1c5]

I've started playing the DMC quintopoly since my birthday on the 18th and I remembered a line that Dante said to mundus about how when mundus returns Dante's (never gonna exist) son will be there to stop him. I can picture a spiderman trilogy situation where we get a DMC equivalent to spiderman Miles Morales where Nero takes centre stage in a journey to truly discover himself and eventually stand up to a resurrected mundus with aid from only Nico since Lady and Trish are off elsewhere. It would all culminate in a trip to the demon world dmc1 style where at the climax Dante and Vergil arrive and give Nero the second wind he needs to finish the fight. With the game ending with three descendants of Sparda reuniting for one big demon massacre on their way back to the human world for a full Sparda family adventure for DMC 6. Potentially letting Vergil and his unintended son bond over the family business of demon murdering with possibly Lucia coming back for a reunion with Dante as awkward and funny as that may be.

[@dtariushale2511]

Yoo bday buddy just had my 27th on the 18th😊

[@idfkimaclown]

I’d actually speculate that Nero is going to be the one to truly follow in Sparda’s footsteps; lots of dialogue in 4 elude to the idea that Nero takes a lot from Sparda- I can imagine he would probably chase down Mundus and possibly even uniting all 3 of Sparda’s swords to form Sparda’s true sword in a similar way to Dante unlocking The Sparda.

I have both DMC 3 and 5 tied at my favorites in the series, but both with an asterisk. For DMC 3 it is the Switch version, because it finally adds the style switching from 4 and 5 and allows to bring all weapons, and for DMC 5 is the PC version. Something I have always wondered with DMC 5 is why they never included the option to play any mission with any character you want; for the first play through it makes sense story ways, but after that, why can't I play with Dante whatever mission I want? That's why the PC version is my favorite because you can mod that in.

Nothing has challenged (and can't) DMCV's position as the best mid-to-high difficulty hack and slash with free form aerial combo that encourages styling for the past years. Most action devs were kinda busy with developing accessible Soulslikes.

I kind of wish more games let me do this. Closest I can think of is some strategy games like Pikmin or Overlord or the necromancer and witch doctor classes of Diablo.

you may find something interesting in the PS3 game Folklore. Has you fighting and collecting creaturees of Celty myth to use as attacks. Like using a Hinky-punk as flamethrower, making a Bug-a-Boo/Bugbear explode into spikes, oor makign a Barghest bodysurf into a group of enemies. There's also Chaos Legion for PS2 and Astral Chain for Nintendo Switch. Death from Darksiders 2 wasn't really a "puppet character" but he could summon a number of ghouls to help out as well as a murder of frigid crows that can keep an enemy juggled in the air.

I remember trying to play the first Darksiders and enjoying it a bit until I got to some area that required me to do some challenge rooms to progress or something (it's been 5 years since I last played it so maybe I should give it another chance cause that was 2 hours into the game). Maybe I could skip it and play 2 since (from what I've heard) I don't think you need to play 1 to understand the events of 2 as long as you have a basic understanding of what's going on.

[@irezumi725]

Okay I don't usually do this but I have criticism about the V section. I can fully understand that his gameplay style is not for everyone it's very alien for a game like DMC but a lot of you issues are self inflicted, now it could be that the gameplay you showed doesn't translate how you usually play but the bulk of your damage is going to come from DTing Griffon&Shadow especially the former. I've seen you do that only once doesn't help you were using the worst move damage wise as well (breakthrought and combo A) when Shadow has moves to stun lock most enemy and deal massive damage (Skewer) his 2 other combos deal more than twice the damage and are much better to stagger enemies. when it comes to V himself you stayed close to the your target which is how you're supposed to play him but you were never reading the book or using royal fork for that matter which the former would've helped you be more aggressive and the latter do some damage and keep the enemies at bay while you familiars reposition themselves. Going back on the DT not only does it boost their attack by a good bit (in Shadow's case you can out damage Nightmare by quite a lot) it also gives them the second highest defense boost only beaten by Sin devil trigger Dante which yes they can tank attacks on DMD in that state the only thing that could kill them in 1hit is a DT proto. Think of Nightmare as your Medic panic button his best use is to revive Shadow or help him stay on the offensive when you got the DT to spare Nightmare does surprisingly low damage except for his combo A and Domination (big laser) he's pretty good at breaking shields but you shouldn't count on him to take care of bigger threats. Griffon is admittedly pretty weak over all only really useful as a support for V and Shadow with his Round robin that works very well as a parry tool and just aoe damage. Now I don't expect you to change your opinion because of one comment on KZbin but I hope these pointers could help you on further playthrough and hey you're allowed to not like things I do in the end we all love dmc.

[@brandonthompson3022]

It really is tiresome to hear all the complaints about V in DMC5 that make it seem like he borderline ruins the game. Especially from people who simple aren’t playing him correctly.

[@Adam-xd9tr]

Honestly, I wonder if some of it is which controller they're using. I played DMC5 on a computer with a mouse, and I found it a lot easier to handle V when melee and ranged attacks were as simple as left and right clicking. Playing on Dante Must Die difficulty also gave me a greater appreciation for V's moveset, as I actually had to learn and utilize his different combos and deploy Nightmare strategically to get past the increased health and damage enemies have on the mode. Granted, I still have issues with V. It's really easy for his gameplay to feel like button-mashing when starting out, and he feels the least polished out of the playable cast. Still, I love playing as the dude and hope his unique gameplay style is refined in a future game.

[@arix1479]

I still think V is underrated l like Nero and Dante more but his gameplay felt very fresh and I found him very enjoyable even if he gets a little button-mashy at times

[@marts4169]

I think it was a missed opportunity that they didn´t give Sparda modes to switch between like they gave to all Dante´s non-sword weapons. We know Sparda has a sword, scythe and spear form, which could have had unique moves, but it again only copied the Rebellion moveset. I guess they didn´t want to waste resources considering you only have it canonically for like 2 missions, but still could have been a one great last hurra for the sword, before its absorption.

[@sonic5993]

And now Itsuno is gone from Capcom....

[@ThatMetalheadMan]

I dream of a Devil May Cry 6. A game where Dante and Virgil both barely make it out of Hell with all of Hell behind them, as Mundus returns in a planet wide invasion of demons and it has every faction seen yet, from Lucia's group to an actual, honest to God return of Sparda. I say this part because as far as I have always been able to gleam from the story of Devil Mar Cry, Sparda was never confirmed dead but had seemingly just disappeared and is assumed dead most likely. None of the games openly confirm he died from what I have seen, nor has the manga or the anime. So it can be possible we see Sparda come back,IMO. This could EVEN be a DMC7, where 6 outright has you playing AS Sparda in his original war against Mundus, telling that whole story firsthand and a cliffhanger ending showing he had to go try to do something and not return and was imprisoned in Hell or something and 7 depicting him escaping with his two son's help and the three stand together against Mundus and finally destroy him. I really think this could be a thing. EDIT: I just realized that in canon, Hell was carved up and split between Mundus and Argosax. Mundus was not destroyed in DMC1 but just sent back. Argosax WAS destroyed in DMC2, which means all of Hell is for grabs to Mundus, making this planet wide Hell invasion even more plausible.

[@RaiginAnimator]

17:31 ironic because I hear these next to the Titan themes all the time. Like the memes pair them and other metal themes together slot

The part about vergil opening oortals actually makes sense considering the games canon description of the sword, plus since neros vergils son the srm and power he had previously never really was his, but a fragment of vergils hense why they were able to fuse and why nero basically summoned a ghostly version of vergils dt, and most likley became s part of the arm when it got fused

[@ShadowZabre]

IF you need a DMC Fix in the meantime, There's always Final Fantasy XVI, which shares a battle systems designer with DMC. Only difference is it's a bit more Story mode, but it too has a hardmode that fully changes fight encounters, a bloody palace mode, single fight retries, and a mission mode. It is still a Final Fantasy, so Loads of good story, and while you get sword as your only real melee weapon, you also get 6 full extra weapon movesets which fully change combat, similar to DMCV, like Garuda works like the Bringer line from Nero yanking you towards enemies or yanking them to you, Titan is Royal Guard, Odin is Vergil's Judgement cut (better you perform the higher the meter goes that you can unleash a super attack), Bahamut is a Dodging version of Royal Guard (So Trickster, except with a huge payoff after a bunch of dodges), and plenty more.

Bringing back Lucia, who we hadn’t seen in two decades would also be canon for DMC2. Corse it’s Trish & Lady who need some character development that doesn’t make them useless. Also bringing back Kyrie, instead of hearing her voice, would be great to see of how much she has grow since DMC4. With her being pregnant with the first female Sparda. One who everyone, including Nero want to be more like her mother.

[@Quickscope_Kun]

@@Wing-Zero-si1eu yes! This exactly this! Also I wasn’t following the lore so close to know Nero had a daughter, that would be cool Later to have a female child of Sparda as a MC in the series. I hope they don’t auto make her love interest in her opening game if they do make a story for her and just let her be her own bad ass in her own right like samus but with a tongue like Virgil…. Yeah I said it… if Virgil’s child talks like Dante, let his grand daughter have the class, elegance, swiftness, grace, and swordsmanship Virgil had but let’s say she has a rapier and not a katana or greatsword… an elegant weapon for an elegant swordsman

[@Quickscope_Kun]

@@Wing-Zero-si1eu of course she would get more weapons but that would be the starter and most unique weapon to the whole franchise. It would be cool if her weapons were like demon whips, spears, rapiers, scythes, and just anything that requires extreme finesse to make look badass

[@Wing-Zero-si1eu]

@@Quickscope_Kun yeah I expect this kid to more like her mother, with her grandfather’s calmness. Corse she would be very much like Samus Aran from the Metroid series, despite obtaining new weapons & upgrades throughout every mission. While her Devil Trigger form would exactly like her father’s, which comes with a Devil Bringer arm.

V is definitely not that fun on dmd but on legendary knight mode he’s actually really fun to clear the screen of demons with his royal fork attack like it’s dynasty warriors or just dealing the killing blow one by one and hearing the ding sound when you time it right

[@nikowindw43]

16:25 If you let Vergil (or Dante in dmc4) sheath Yamato, you'll get DT. I recommend using air trick, trick dodge or trick back only when it's necessary. Anyway, great review man keep it up!

[@kaidorade1317]

Thanks for the DMC retrospective sir!

[@nwordfword8073]

finally the king is posting what a good day

[@dtariushale2511]

So hyped since i got this game. Neros DT is pure MOTIVATION to clear this game.

[@TheMasterJay]

Easily my favorite game in the series without question, my sister had a copy of the game on Steam around when it came out and she allowed me to play it, and it was really fun. After getting a PS5, I'd end up buying a copy of DMC5SE sometime after that and it was worth every penny. One thing I like to do when playing after beating the game is enter the practice mode of Bloody Palace so that I can battle whatever enemies and bosses I want anytime. One weapon I greatly appreciate is the Dr. Faust hat, it works wonders to use its circle button attack and timing mechanic to get a ton of Red Orbs, particularly in Mission 13 where there's a lot of enemies especially on Legendary Dark Knight difficulty in 5SE. If I only had one nitpick outside of gameplay and presentation for 5, it's that you only have 1 save file, I prefer to not delete my master save data if I want to start over from scratch, you can make an extra profile on the PlayStation for this sort of thing I suppose but I prefer having extra save files period.

[@ZenTea]

Oh nice been waiting for a new video 👏🏼

[@coreyboyd28]

It's funny but Bury the Light is the reason why I actually bought this game. I never a DMC fan. At least of the gameplay. It's not really my kind of thing. But I love the story. I've watched multiple retrospectives on the games. The only one I own is 5 though. And that song is the reason I went ahead and bought the special edition. It was actually the first game I bought on my PS5 when I got it (because GOW Ragnorok was coming out) so I'm really happy it got a mention. Because it's without a doubt the greatest theme track ever conceived and I don't know if anything will ever top it. Fingers crossed though! 😄 Thanks for the retrospective my guy. You did ya big one with this one.

[@asterstella211]

got this game on pc last week since I couldn’t get enough money for persona 5. genuinely one of the best games ive ever played in my life

[@shadowvincent8718]

Devil May Cry 5 is an absolute masterpiece and easily one of my favorite games of all time. I slightly prefer Devil May Cry 3 over 5 but it is an extremelly close second. DMC5 has masterfull gameplay, incredible soundtrack and a story that beautifully ends the Sons of Sparda arc. While i would love if Devil May Cry 6 did happen someday but if the Devil May Cry series were to conclude with this game i honestly would feel satisfied.

[@The810kid]

5 sets up too much for us not to get a 6. The adventures of Dante and Vergil in the underworld. Nero being the successor to both of them taking up the mantle up top. That's too great of a premise to waste.

[@shadowvincent8718]

@@The810kid Yeah im still hoping we get Devil May Cry 6 someday because i feel there is a lot of cool stuff you could do with that game. Some ideas i think would be cool is to have Mundus return and be the main antagonist of the game as well as having the Dante and Vergil story in that game be a direct reference to Dantes Inferno a story that inspired the creation of DMC.

[@Ratscallion_exe]

I don't care how many steam games have come and gone in my library... Team Fortress 2 & Devil May Cry 5 stay installed, are installed, and WILL stay installed no matter what...

[@BlueEye096]

Haven't finished the video yet but the answer is; hell yeah it has! In fact no action game has surpassed it since!

[@cjjohnson9238]

Bury the light praise makes this video worth watching on its own

[@peintheelite]

Got the platinum a couple weeks ago and enjoyed about 90 percent of it lol this gane certainly holds up .. its gonna have to until DMC 6 comes out forever from now 😭

[@kaloyanenev9652]

You should hear The Fire Inside. That's Casey Edward's third DMC song and it holds up to the other two

[@gmradio2436]

Remakes of the original 4 would be fine, but 2 definitely needs it. I don't normally say a game needs a complete remake, but the few good things that 2 does don't justify the rest. 1 is solid, just set the camera to 3rd and implement styles. Maybe add Rebellion. 3 is similar, just update to the game to bring it up to the current standard. Don't hide co op behind a Style this time. 4 is mostly the standard so some touch ups to Dante's half of the game.

[@Moltanova]

For some reason, even though I love this game, i always go back to DMC3

[@User1273-]

I really wish ps and xbox version would get a Nintendo switch update (all styles, all weapons)

[@Cactusjones88]

DMC5 is Legendary! I Literally come back to this game every year. 10/10

[@anthonywaters424]

I can’t believe its been 5 years dude 😭

[@BenOlsberg1995]

For as good as most of the rest of the series is, the fifth game stands a full head and shoulders above them in what it offers. I think the moment that stuck with me the most from the entirety of the game was when Dante formally reveals to Nero that Vergil is his father. That was something the fanbase had pretty much all but confirmed in the years prior to DMC5's release, but to actually hear one of the main characters say it just completely solidifies it.

[@justinsinger2505]

Fun fact about Bury the Light. If anyone here is a fan of the noise band Health. In the interlude for some of their shows they’ll play bury the light

[@danielguilherme2708]

In dmc4 yamato is used to open a portal release demons.Nico's father did that ,remember?

[@xdtyfails6497]

i constantly battle between dmc 3 and 5 because they're both so damn good. whenever, or if we ever get dmc 6, the world will rejoice

[@dtariushale2511]

Im soo excited. Loved all the previous dmc titles(i first played dmc when i was a kid on ps2 and fell in love with the series), but never got the chance to play 4 or 5. Just got my steam deck last month and just bought 5 today. Needless to say im more than hyped 😊

[@t-masterrules5085]

I can't believe it's been 5years already

[@potatoemporer2174]

Genuinely phenomenal game. Bury the light and devil trigger introduced me to the idea of dmc and i picked it up in june on steam. I play it at least 5 times a week if not every day its genuinely the most replayable game ive ever touched.
