dante da GOAT for me

[@E3Zen]

After this game - Nero, hands down

[@Jesi0511]

Vergil for me his combat and theme set it in stone

[@blitztalks8039]

For those of you who are curious about Nero's crazy ass revolver, the Blue Rose, here's some neat facts about it: It's a heavily modified S&W 500 revolver, with the obvious addition of a second barrel and a much less obvious left handed modification. Firing a single 500 S&W round is already pretty powerful while holding it with two hands, so imagine firing two rounds at the same time with a single hand. Speaking of firing two rounds at the same time, you'll notice that the bottom round comes out first, rather than both at the same time. This is intentional as one of Nico's notes in-game states that: "...the bottom shell breaks through the armor first, only for the top shell to follow up and pierce the target's body..." As for firing more than three times in cutscenes and gameplay... uh... demon magic or some other bullshit.

[@SonnyFRST]

Nero actually reloads his gun sometimes and has a gameplay mechanic tied to his 3 shot limit: color up. (which is a fancy way to say when he powers up the whole chamber when he charges a shot)

[@552jacki3]

The gun is so powerful in fact that when fully charged, even with all of his demon powers Nero has use both hands just to barely hold on to the gun. If he's in the air, the recoil sends him flying backwards.

[@jdogzerosilverblade299]

the only problem is he isnt dante. dante doesnt believe in reloading but nero isnt there yet.

[@chocobanana5262]

Meanwhile Dante: *Handguns* *go* *brrrrrrrrrr*

[@Haru-spicy]

then you have dante shooting a huge laser by attaching two rocket launchers end-to-end nero is what a 16-year-old's conception of guns is dante is what an 8-year-old's conception of guns is

[@silver_wolff]

6:55 I aways have thought that Nero missed that shot on the sign, but a few seconds later I finally saw that this same sign hit one of those enemies

[@BigFry9591]

YOU'RE RIGHT! I never noticed that before! Before, I just thought that he shot the sign because he didn't have a clear headshot, so he shot it away to make room. But he instead shot it to ricochet it into another enemy. How does this scene get better and better?!

[@1Synner]

@@BigFry9591 And that same enemy with a sign in his head appears through the entire intro, up until the camera passes over the windows in the back, just to add more insult to its injury.

[@danlyday7248]

This game got me back into video games. Enough said.

[@viewtifulzet593]

Dunno how you got out, but I’m glad this one brought you back in.

[@daysand123]

I mean when a lot of the mainstream gaming market especially western games is very rinse and repeat like call of duty and every ubisoft game its not hard to imagine.​@viewtifulzet593

[@andregon4366]

​@@viewtifulzet593 Probably played too many mainstream EA, Activision and/or Ubisoft games that spend most their insane budget in marketing instead of making a good game, and got tired of playing mediocre games. I stay away from games made by those companies or I'd be burnt out too.

[@Hoodini2253]

@@andregon4366there’s a reason why the last mw I played was 2019 and only played that for like half a year and the only ea I play is battlefront 2. They’re all trash. QUITE LITERALLY quantity over quality for them

[@andregon4366]

@@Hoodini2253 Ironically EA is making less games than they used to make in the early 2000s. But since they're monetising their games so aggressively, they are making more money per game than ever. So it's neither quantity nor quality.

[@schizzzzz8912]

a month late but what i also love is that if you pay attention, the way Nero moves his body, he’s following through with the recoil of the gun each time he shoots as if hes using the momentum of the recoil to move, its specially easier to see in the last few shots he takes, like the last one when he rotates over the van to get to the other side, very fun intro, hooked my right up when i played

[@TonyQuinn]

Stylistically and mechanically this is the greatest game I’ve ever played. I have yet to play an action or action/adventure game that feels as good.

[@weertangel7231]

This game is one of those rare ones that u might have never played yet u know everything about couse of its awesome scenes being found all over the internet, even more almost then its awesome soundtrack. U should give this game and its scenes a go, its a blast!

[@vinimachiavelli]

this intro is so good that, even if u haven't played dmc 4 u can already tell both their personalities i love this game

[@blackburn031]

I found it curious that as attentive to detail as you are, you didn't notice the demon in the background being hit by the signal that Nero shot at in the minute 3:42 XD Great vifeo as always man, love to see your reactions 💯

[@Zolwiol]

DMC5 is the most refined one of them all. You have playstyles for everyone. And each is insanely deep. Capcom has been on a roll since this one. The director Hideyaki Itsuno has been working on his passion project ever since he made this. Dragon's Dogma 2 and I think this time the world is ready for Dragon's Dogma.

[@yoloalchemist]

This was a nice surprise! I’d like more reactions like this to game scenes. May I suggest God of War 2018, in particular Kratos’ fight against The Stranger right at the beginning. Also, did you notice in this opening the subtitles even said this game doesn’t promote smoking even though Nico makes an art out of it LUL

[@PhilipHarts]

Yea that was hilarious haha

[@JuStMe-ct2og]

Every cutscene in this game is very badass

[@Tran1193]

I never noticed that the smoking disclaimer was spray painted on the ground. I thought it was just a part of the subtitles.

[@BaronRicks84]

DMC5 and THPS 1+2 brought a ton of vibes from the past, back to the times they knew how to make games ;) The attention to the details, Neros footing while jumping around, twisting of body made this scene great and believeable even though completely physics defiant. Also love it how he use the recoil of his revolver to transit between poses and targets. Guys making it are loving their art! But on a side note, I was always kinda wondering how my face looks like while watching such powerfull intros and now I dont have to wonder as this reaction resonates with me 😂 Cheers!

[@fuantei7283]

the best thing about this game's cutscenes is that they aren't pre rendered and run in engine

[@SuperSayinSolidSnek]

This is the only game i know of where you get to play as the boss of the game eventually, but he's exactly how he was when you fought him, he isn't nerfed like usual

[@hisuijin8038]

Best thing about DMC is that the gameplay lives up to the cinematics , sometimes beyond them

[@AliyaWill]

We’re eating so good this year!

[@PhilipHarts]

With you at the table we always eat good, and you know I’m GONNA eat 😮‍💨

[@AliyaWill]

@@PhilipHarts 😳.. 😏

[@E3Zen]

Hard to belive that this game turnig 5 years old this year

[@juilescieg]

Not sure if you have already reacted to it, but the *Devil May Cry 3 Opening* is also a nice piece of work. Although it needs some understanding of the characters, to understand it better. Besides that, the *FINAL FANTASY XV - Omen Trailer | PS4* is also great. Very nice music and visuals mixture.

[@ricoF]

this man got song of the ancients running in the background

[@angelemmanuelperezmuniz1474]

When Nico said don't lose your tits I immediately loss mine a few seconds later. I ended like that kid in the incredibles movie when he said that was awesome. Great game and worth every penny.

[@tigermk3554]

1:44 Well there's actually old megaman stuff in the game

[@PhilipHarts]

Woah, that’s awesome!

[@Sincleaver]

A surprise seeing DMC from you but a welcome one

[@macrochelys]

in the game's menu you can find the making of these cinematic scenes with actors and figures

[@wanderingbufoon]

the live action is even better

[@sylnz97]

this the type of game I get on launch and play all the way through it 2 times in the same night

[@lc3212]

Dmc has obviously always had ups and down through the 5 games but to me when I think of dmc I think of crazyness just like this intro song. Being stylish with both its story and gameplay and having characters make lite of dark situations the plots never taking things “too” serious is the core of the series imo.

[@PhycoKrusk]

Still the coolest game intro I've ever seen.

[@Quickscope_Kun]

Reasons why we need a DMC live action movie. NOT ON NETFLIX😂

[@luciphergaming6582]

Theres no real actor that can pull it off. Maybe the voice actors?

[@AlexDoubleAU]

"And the second one" I hope you mean DMC3 'cause if you're talking about DMC2 then I have bad news for you *you are crazy* *dmc2* *does not exist* *there is no such thing* *as dmc2* *you have just convinced yourself* *that it exists* *it doesn't* *it never has*

[@darknesswave100]

Not sure if you know who voices Nero but its Johnny Yong Bosch. Incredible voice actor. He does the voice of the main character of Bleach, Ichigo. Also fun fact that some people know but he actually used to be in a Power Rangers series back in the 90s. Hes up there with Matt Mercer and Steve Blum as my 3 favorite voice actors

[@Alaadassa]

He was only in the movie, but that was his first big gig in the industry!

[@Mandaiish]

​​@Alaadassa what do you mean he was only in the movie? He was in over 100 episodes of power rangers, Mighty Morphin and Zeo.

[@zamaskowany12]

​​@@MandaiishHe has the second most appearances in Power Rangers history just after the late Jason David Frank. He appeared in 151 episodes starting as the Black Ranger in the second season of Mighty Morphin, Green Zeo Ranger and Green Turbo Ranger. He also appeared in both movies and had 2 major came appearances in In Space and Operation Overdrive.

[@abbashashem9289]

For your first note about Megaman they added mega man cannon to the game just saying

[@andregon4366]

8:09 Why being overly serious when you can be over the top?

[@SomethingScotty]

I wonder if Capcom was inpsired to do the intro like that because Deadpool 1 did the same thing with their intro.

[@Hoodini2253]

Dmc does lots of slow mo stuff and another also literally had a slow mo intro too with Dante this just happens to be in the street

[@SomethingScotty]

@@Hoodini2253 While I haven't played a lot of DMC, from my understanding the developers aren't really afraid to wear their inspiration on their sleeves.

[@JeannieLove]

Oh you should totally play DMC5. The game is my favorite since DMC3. Have you played DMC4? DMC5 calls back to that The intro is totally inspired by Deadpool 1.

[@CWiley0124]

I would recommend playing Devil May Cry 4 to understand the character in the video.

[@olcia440]

Please react to Vergil Battle theme! It's amazing❤😊

[@PhilipHarts]

I would love to!!

[@JeannieLove]

Not as good as Devil Trigger though

[@lordtoomas]

They're about equal to me but Bury The Light is just too good@@JeannieLove

[@Jackie_Tikki_Tavi]

Can't wait for anime remake

[@grennanz]

Oh wow a video game intro. Oh wooooooooooow. Much wow yes.

[@darknesswave100]

The fact that he looked into the camera when he said devil may cry 2 just tells you how god awful that game is 😂

[@zazoreal5536]

Wait you haven't played 3&4? You need to play them first.

[@Ashismohapatra278]

Best game of 2020 in my opinion but don't know why they decided to end the sparda brother series

[@lucasromerova6150]

Nero is even less of a demon than Dante and Vergil you will know why if you play the game but I hope you do! If not I can Capture the cutscenes for you on my PC and make it looks even better visually at 4K 120fps.

[@LeonardoP4]

it's easy to shoot in slow motion when you are a dead weight... 😂😂😂

[@jesusdiaz270]

Keep reacting, but please, please, do it with any other chanel other than Zanar Aesthetics. That chanel keeps publishing the entirety of videogame cutscene the same day the NDAs are lifted with the most spoilery thumbnails and titles possible, and somehow (I guess some monetary promotion), it keeps appearing to everybody midly interested in the games he uploads. One of the biggest scumbags in youtube.

[@stevenmcmasters7212]

If you haven't played since devil may cry 2 (which btw sucked in comparison), you really need to play 3, 4, and 5.
