[@drivingatank]

The reason DMC 2 sucked was because, only 4 months prior to its release Hideaki Itsuno was put in charge. Prior to that the game only had a rough narrative , and some design elements. Hideaki Itsuno salvaged the trash fire in 4 months, making the game remotely playable. He pushed out the game to meet the release date, so he could make DMC 3. The game fundamentally sucks but for 4 months of work, its functional

[@jamesfitzgerald8267]

The original unknown director literally only had one move done by the time Itsuno took over, we're lucky the game is playable at all because of Itsuno.

[@vashido1866]

Personally, I found the boss rush to be fun. Going from getting destroyed by Cerberus and unlocking easy mode, to destroying HIM without getting hit once was one of the best feelings ever, same with all the other bosses. And while the story isn't perfect, I still thnk its good. It's simple, but its effective and the final fight with Vergil is still my favourite final boss of any game ever. The build-up, the stage, the music, the fight itself, the final cutscene... Man, I just love DMC 3 so much

[@DeepCDiva]

Oh yeah, overcoming the boss rush was amazing, that last part is really effective in making everything super intense, such a good game.

The difficulty increase was in DMC3 and was fixed in the Special Edition re-release resulting in the "Very Hard" mode.

[@anundertalefan3305]

@Mr. Ultimate I believe that the American normal mode is hard mode in SE seeing as there aren't changes to the enemy placement and behavior.

[@zeroattentiongaming820]

@Mr. Ultimate All modes in the vanilla NA release are one level higher than the JP release and all versions of SE with the exception of DMD which is the same in all versions. NA Easy=JP/SE Normal, NA Normal=JP/SE Hard. NA Hard had no equivalent in the JP version and was labelled Very Hard in SE. Throw in that Vanilla only had Yellow orb mode and the NA version was fucking brutal.

[@themadhattress5008]

DMC1 probably has the best atmosphere out of the first three, with the third being a very close second. That's the reason why I play it. The Gothic architecture, the dreariness, the foreboding nature of just about every single area. Not to mention the flavour text given throughout the game really give the castle and even the island a sense of malice and antiquity. It's brilliant.

[@projectalpha22_va]

It’s like one of the few things about DMC2 I actually like, it’s a very Dante thing to do. It’s part of the showmanship, he doesn’t leave helping someone to chance. It’s a bunch of dramatics that hide an actual soft heart, and if there’s one thing further DMC games should take note of from this game it’s the small moments like that.

DMC 3 holds a special place in my heart since my brother and I played it on our PS2 all the time.

No remake, special edition is not a remake

[@supernicral]

This is one of my biggest frustrations with KZbinrs and people who play games in general. There IS a difference between remasters and remakes that should be adressed. Remasters are simply porting the game to a newer system with some higher res textures and some bug fixes (or more bugs if it's a bad one.) Remakes are from the ground up rebuilt versions of older games that require much more money and time. Remasters are imo essential to game preservation as well as bringing series to newer players who don't own those consoles. Remakes, while holding their own place, are ultimately unnecessary most of the time.

I've never had the same experience since. Mainly I don't care for being forced into other chars mid story as I feel it doesn't let me naturally ride that learning curve with a char to experiment.

9:20 can you at least explain why this Nero Angelo fight is so obnoxious and annoying? Using big words with out explaining what you mean by them, nice.

Just a heads up, the 250% extra damage thing was for hard mode, not normal mode

[@MrCrowley2474]

Fire Rath In the original DMC American release, normal mode was the hard mode in the Japanese release. Where Dante did less damage and the enemies dealt 250% more.

[@firerath]

@@MrCrowley2474 That was DMC3, not DMC1

[@MrCrowley2474]

Fair enough, but I remember hearing that DMC1 was harder in North America than in Japan?

[@MrCrowley2474]

@@firerath So I looked it up, and apparently the enemies in the North American version of the original DMC1 did 20% more damage on every difficulty compared to the Japanese version. Since the HD rereleases were graphical updates of the Japanese versions, translated to English for North America, the HD version is easier than the original in North America. So that, combined with the DMC3 difficulty changes, is probably what led to the confusion in the video.

[@firerath]

WellSheat really? Huh. Never knew.

[@jja4168]

I like your video, however I do think devil may cry 3 story was my favorite story of all time from the dmc games and from videogames to even movies, about Dante become more human progressivly through the game and being more like his father, Sparda, while also having to face and defeat his brother Vergil and Arkham being the main villain the father of lady and her defeating him. It felt like a story not just about family, but facing your family, while also being enjoyable and fun and not overly complicated. It felt like my favorite story of all time, but that's just my opinion.

[@NoHerik]

Damn Kev, you're killin it. Keep truckin on. I'll still be here watching 'em all.

[@thinredpaste]

"[2] is the perfect number of weapons for dante, change my mind." DMC5 lets you unlock the ability to carry all the weapons at once. You can set it up so it goes sword, not-sword, sword, not-sword, sword, not-sword. All the convenience of a 2 weapon loadout with all the options of a full loadout. You can even do like I did and form associations between a sword and a notsword to keep the order straight in your mind, i.e. Sparda and Balrog are kinda like DMC1 weapons, rebellion and cerberus are kinda like dmc3 weapons, DSD and cavaliere are the new hotness. Also gunslinger is dope except in 4 where it's a terrible joke.

[@TheVeryAngryShrimp]

Devil May Cry was never really an integral part of my life but I had DMC3, and I never finished it, but I enjoyed the action a lot, even though I wasn't very good with it (I mainly play RPGs). I really, really am tempted to get the new DMC though.

[@yakuzashibe]

Get the HD Collection and start on easy for your first game except DMC1. Let's you get to terms with the combat and how the game works in general. I started with DMC3 but was no good at it, years later I got DMC4SE and played through it on Human (Easy) then Devil Hunter (Normal) and worked my way up. It's a good series and they're all worth playing.

[@IamIK3]

New Kbash + one of my favorite childhood video game franchises = insta-like.

[@BaronUnread]

"And he can only carry one weapon at a time" you can actually switch weapons by pressing the right stick. I assume you haven't even touched the right stick since you don't even talk about taunting in DMC1. Or in DMC at all. Which is what makes it a completely different experience from the likes of other action games. There's so much more to DMC1 than "oh yeah there's like this combo and this combo and this combo", it's about being stylish against opponents that tower you and your puny health bar. Playing on DMD is what any real fan of the franchise should at least try, because it really makes you think about what you're doing and how you're doing it. Taunting isn't only useful for style but it also restores DT gauge in DMC1. It seems to me that you only scratched the surface of what DMC really is. It doesn't remove any of your personal enjoyment of the game, but it definitely misrepresents the game itself. Except DMC2, that shit's poopoo.

[@KBash]

Lol no I didn't know they added the swap. I taunted a couple times to build trigger against slow dudes though.

[@BaronUnread]

@@KBash I'm pretty sure that it has been a thing since the original PS2 release lol Still it doesn't really matter, because it's not a quick switch like in DMC3/DMC4, but it plays a small animation of Dante switching to Ifrit/Alastor(or the sword he's using). It's faster than going in the menu and swapping your weapon out, but it puts you at risk of getting hit

[@M7S4I5L8V2A]

@@KBash I don't think you mentioned Round Trip at all either but it's pretty useless unless you know how to weapon switch. You can only switch between Alastor and Ifrit and Round Trip allows for the only weapon switch combo. Also like other games DMC 2 can be fun if you don't cheese it. I know guns are powerful but there's enough there to have fun with. Things like Aerial Rave, Gunslinger, and Trickster started there. Gunslinger is equal to SwordMaster, it's just not as easy to combo with guns. The addition of a third weapon slot would have made it a lot easier to. Not saying you should be locked at six weapons but you should be able to select three guns if you want.

Although it did suck that the boss fight in Devil May Cry 3 with Arkham took away the skill button (which took out the majority of the moves I needed to fight competently at the time), it turned into my favorite boss fight when me and my brothers found out that a second controller can control vergil when you press the start button. Sure the camera focused only on Dante, but our little minds where blown away when we found out we could actually fight this boss together.

[@OpathicaNAE]

"I can't figure out why you'd ever bother" Well, I can tell you. It's one word: Style. DMC1 may not have been designed with it in mind, but DMC is flashy at it's core. It's about doing absolutely *everything* you can and being the craziest motherfucker on screen while you do it. If you can, you can juggle those mother fuckers all in the air and SSS them up before anyone touches the ground. The pistols help with that. With well-timed presses and switches, you can have them all in the air in a beautiful buttjuggle. Like I said, DMC 1 wasn't designed with this in mind. But that could be a reason as to why someone would do it. It definitely is in latter installments, i.e; 4, the one I played most.

[@JohnSmithson999]

Yeah exactly. Although honestly I always thought of ebony and ivory in DMC as the equivalent as the 'manual' in the Tony Hawk games, something to keep your combo going when closing distance on an enemy with the penalty of doing it too long affects the score multiplier. Devil May Cry is an arcade game about player expression, so when someone says "I can't figure out why you'd ever bother" or "This is boring", chances are the game is only boring since you are playing in boring way. You get out what you put in.

[@wonderguardstalker]

Uhh what? DMC was created with style in mind

[@night1952]

I don't remember DMC1 being that hard on the ps2. 12y/o me didn't bother with DMD because i couldn't carry over my blue and purple orbs, weapons and skills, but hard was fine since you could carry on from normal (oh mission select, why couldn't you exist back then).

[@yakuzashibe]

You can carry all your stuff to DMD, atleast in the HDC. It's not worth it though, playing through on normal about five more times and getting all the items again is a better idea.

[@pureskill123]

@@yakuzashibe I'm aware of the translation error, but I had also assumed that the others had just gotten used to it by now and, if the name is ever brought up again, will stick with the mistranslated name. In any case, I still highly prefer using Nero Angelo.

[@yakuzashibe]

@@crimsonflame2k Nero makes more sense. I use Nelo, not sure why.

Trickster will always be my favorite style in Devil May Cry 3 because nothing beats being able to dodge an enemy endlessly and then fuck them up.

7:48 If Dante was scared when seeing the spider, it would've been the equivalent to the Ridley scene in Other M, it would be out of character for the main character since fighting those types of enemies is normal for them for god knows how long.

Yeah, I'm that one guy who started out on DMC2 >.< I will admit that that it has a lot of problems though, but I do think it gets overly hated at times, personally, I consider it better than the first game, but that's likely only because of nostalgia for the game that got me into the franchise

[@NG-qr9so]

Is it just me or does Egoraptor not know what he's talking about half the time Like your expecting a dude how you saw take a sword through the chest is half demon and is the son of a demon who sealed off the world of demons and humans and protcted the earth for years Too be afraid of a lava spider

Fighting Virgil over and over again, just to DESTROY him in Dante Must Die is a crowning achievement in my gaming career!

Devil May Cry a childhood delight given from the GODS

DMC 3 was my first and I just remember being so fucking amped about a guitar weapon.

Hey KBash This Is The First Video I Have Ever Watch From You. I Agreed With You On Most Things You Said But Not All. The Things I Disagree With Is Dante and The Story. DMC 1 Story Was Bail Bonds But The Game Didn't Focus On It. It Give Us Characters Back stories and Motive It Wasn't Great But So Wasn't A Lot Of Games Back Then. DMC 2 Story Is Not Good For A Main Game But For A Side Game It Could Have Been A Great Backstory For His Dad or The War. DMC 3 Story I Love It How Dante and Vergil Interest Together and How Lady and Her Dad Falls In Line With The Story Is Amazing and To Me The Game Doesn't Makes Me Hate Vergil It Make Me Love Him For The Challenge and The Personality and Dante. I Don't Really Think No Fans Thinks He Was A Crazy Badass Character In The First 2 Games He Was A Little In The First One But Not Really In The Second One and Plus DMC 1 Was A New IP Then They Didn't Know How He Was Going To Tune Out and It's Not Like It Came Out Of Nowhere. Like He Was Some Kind Of Angry Half God In The First Game Then The Couple Of Games After That He Was A Calm Dad and The Game Being Hard Is Not A Bad Thing It Give You The Tools You Need So Use Them.

How's that shift key working for you?

[@ChrisPBacon-xn9up]

Jesus Christ dude, just no.

[@Da_Realist_Inu]

devil may cry 3 was my first DMC game... I didn't play 1 and 2, but this video showed me that Devil May Cry 2 had the concept of where you are forced to play 2 characters..

[@MerlinCross13]

KBash talks about DMC 3's Swordmaster. Editor/Friend? comes in to talk about Royal Guard. *Laughs in Trickster*

[@lindthechaoticheretic8708]

2:04 So that's why my first playthrough of DMC1 on the PS2 consisted of me mostly jumping away from enemies and firing my guns. And here I thought I had just gotten better at the game after all those years. GUESS NOT!!!

[@oldman2470]

Dude you need more views to be honest

[@oxishixo]

Vergil is a beast

[@nathanielthomson3455]

The opening scene of dmc 3 just makes me wish Dante had a armblade devil arm with a modified counter attack based moveset while using royal guard style.

[@franklinreed7614]

9:16 "Nero angelo, or Nelo angelo if you prefer-" It feels like something was cut there. I could be misremembering but wasn't there a joke there?

[@averystar16]

I had no idea Royal Guard was like that

[@SufferDYT]

The game literally tells you this.

[@averystar16]

It's been like years since I've played and I don't pay attention

[@naquan59]

Thanks for pointing this out @ 7:20 no one talks about how dmc 1 and 2 dante was not any where close to as wacky amine cool he was in 3 and 4.

I played dmc3 on ps2 waay back and while I do agree that the punishing aspect of restarting the mission if you die was a bit harsh but it also raised the stakes. I recently tried the remake on a emulator and was a bit shocked on how much that game trivialities items, on the original version there was no shame using items the first time around while learning the mechanics and behavior of bosses because of the punishing aspect of dying. In the remake they might as well remove items all together because the game practically rewards you from dying with how it maxes out your hp without any consequences. If you enter a boss fight without max hp just let yourself get killed and there you go, in the same way easy mode was a good way to help with the learning curve of a game with punishing and meaningful deaths instead is reduced to kink shaming the player for not being good enough.

[@leeroyjenkins6557]

I've beaten the og ps2 version of dmc3 in every difficulty and every mission on S on every difficulty, yea,took me like a year tho cus at the time I was a student and couldn't play 24/7
