This will be a bit confusing because I attempted to use more sound from the actual gameplay footage instead of pumping all the music in all the time.

[@fieryrebirth]

Dante's characterization and growth is a pretty good indicator of how much thought went into his development despite starring in simple stories, that even his edgelord-like self in DMC2 can be explained. After DMC1 and the emotional trauma he endured, Dante went through his "emo" arc in the anime and DMC2, until he met Nero in DMC4. I honestly loved learning this development even if it wasn't told to you.

[@adacapo]

There's a lot to love here - the edits, relating the series' production to other issues in the industry, how much your love for the series shines through - but the unremarked upon lawn chair mod is a beautiful touch. ❤ Some of the stuff about V is explained in the "Visions of V" manga, including where he got the money, but iirc it was never released in English.

[@HuwLightfist]

That brief cut to Haze for the Edgelord Simulator bit caused me to incur deep psychic damage. Thank you.

[@sssiyan312]

dmc3 also has dynamic difficulty btw, an obvious example is dying a few times against cerb - he'll more often do the lunge then take forever for the chains to pull him back in

[@saschaberger3212]

It the first Dmc game I played. I wouldn't have finished it without the dynamic difficulty I guess. You could notice it at the bosses. Only Virgil at the end didn't gave a fuck about it. Seeing this at 41:00 gives me PTSD flashbacks. Good times

[@ktp2004]

noritaka funamizu is still in the credits of devil may cry 2, and he was never the director. if you are reading the wikipedia article, I understand why you might misread and misunderstand its strange wording. however, following the sources linked on wikipedia makes this information much clearer.

[@fenikeizu3392]

Surprisingly Lucifer did make a second appearance in DMC5. If you look closely Dante has a taunt where he throws Lucifer's rose and it does minor damage :D

[@legendarydigitize2523]

Even better If you can chip enemy hp down to what looks like 1 hp left without killing them early The rose throw CAN kill that said 1 hp enemy Like it always makes me chuckle that i stylishly beat the enemy up in full control of the battle Just to finish them off that way Feels like rubbing salt in their wounds

You managed to put a lot of how I feel about this series in words. Thank you very much for synthesizing it in a very entretaining... two hours??? What the hell I didn't even notice it was that long.

[@Nixdigo]

DMC3 had slightly different DT forms. I think DMC1 and 3 are unique in this way. Slight correction

[@benjaminborkowski12]

Iirc you actually can switch between Alastor and Ifrit in DMC 1 by pressing one of the thumb sticks, the game just never tells you that and it plays an animation when you swap. Still not optimal, but certainly better than going into the Menu constantly

[@just_radical]

In terms of "Is it Playable in *Present Year*" after playing all the DMC games on the HD collection last year (and then also playing Drakengard I for comparison on the other end of the scale) I was actually curious about this and I've been like going thru and playing a couple hours of a lot of PS2 era Hack and Slash games to get a feel for what was acceptable in 2000-2005 vs now. I'd def say that like you said with some tweaks to the camera, the continue system, and some slight alterations to make DMC1 Dante more like DMC3 and 5 Dante in personality than he is (I don't think they had quite mastered goofy memelord Dante yet), DMC1 holds up really well. Nothing else of the generation really matches it until Ninja Gaiden and DMC3 come out 3 to 4 years later. I'd even put it DMC1 ahead of the original GoW which has a bit too much QTE and platforming DNA from Prince of Persia for my tastes in a hack and slash. DMC1 was like years ahead of what anyone else could fathom in 2001. I'll throw this out there as well, if anyone enjoys the animations and weapons styles of DMC4 that don't return, consider playing Sengoku Basara 3 and 4. It's also by Capcom and it's a Dynasty Warriors style game that uses all the different weapon styles from DMC as basis for their character's fighting styles.

[@jurtheorc8117]

For future/more recent hack-and-slash/character action games, there's the likes of Soulstice, Genokids, Enenra, Yasuke: A Lost Descendant, and mayhaps Gori: Cuddly Carnage and The Dishwasher: Vampire Smile too.

[@Keykey70]

Yet again, a Misshapen Chair video that doesn't appear in the subscriptions tab, I really wonder what's going on with that, it used to before the sea of mid video, I'm pretty sure...

[@powerlucario]

I went into this video thinking DMC was just a fun campy over the top action game that gets a little gringy sometimes but in a good way to thinking "wait is this series kinda based as fuck?". Great video

[@RahkshiMaster]

Trish is unlockable and playable in DMC2, she has Dante's DMC 1 moveset and is more fun to play than he is, you didn't mention it. also you said you can't weapon switch in DMC1, but actually you can switch between sword and fists without pausing by clicking down on the right stick.

[@susulilith]

I wouldn't say dmc2 trish is more fun than dmc1 dante because dmc2 is so garbage, even playing dmc5 dante in dmc2 wouldnt make it fun

[@mhzaneimpact1419]

I am still addicted to dmc 5 to this day since release, I wonder why 😅

[@Fearranl]

I can't be assed to search for the exact moment in the video, but still -- V got the commission money for Dante by going out and robbing people with his summons, edgelord Robin Hood style, helping occasional innocent passerby in the process. Please read Visions of V manga, it's a great supplementary piece of writing.

Shoutout to the Arkham voice actor: Adam D. Clark.

He's wrong. Noritaka Funamizu didn't direct DMC2. He was the head of Capcom's former arcade division, Development Studio 1, that DMC2 was developed under.

[@TheMaerx]

Where did you source the info where Itsuno said he wanted to make a sequel to DmC? Because if my memory doesn't fail me, DmC actually had way lower sales than DMC4 and it was critically panned by fans of the series. In 2015 Capcom released both DmC Definitive Edition and DMC4 Special Edition very close to each other, like a month apart, this was afaik to see which way the series would continue and well, DMC4 SE sold so well it actually was a major factor in Capcom's revenue for that fiscal year. Also Capcom's recent survey showed Dante being their most popular character by a landslide and DMC5 their most popular game. I voted for Dante and DMC3 as my favorites but I was also helping put Dino Crisis up there, in fact I NEVER expected DMC to rank that higher, let alone become No. 1

And honestly That is to be expected with corporates Unless Motoaki "Yagoo" Tanigo once again gets maybe a side project for cover corp(same company behind Hololive Productions fyi) And said side project is game devving(although he greenlit an initiative for indie games to get some of the benefits of triple A devved games like holoparade) We wont see anyone in upper management as decent and virtuous of a man as he is Every other ceo out there, they are all the same heartless ghouls who see those below them as just disposable machines Including their own customers So saddly there wont be a change in these corporations anytime soon Yagoo with Cover corp and HoloPro are merely exceptions and not the rule Which is still sad as apparently just being a decent bunch of people with virtues and principles is considered the "gold standard" among the ocean sized tarpits of typical, borderline black company corpos out there

Personally, I do like V's gameplay and would like to see a character like him appear, but be more active in their own combat. I can imagine a warlock who has spells of his own casting spells while using a summoned demon or two for additional firepower. Maybe give a DT in the form of Possession as the combo list completely changes into becoming something much more destructive.

honestly the yellow orb system wouldn't be that bad in DMC1 if the game just let you restart instead of forcing you to use the yellow orb, waiting for the mission load, having to open the menu, then quit, and THEN having to load your save file just so you can get back to playing the fucking game. oh and running out also sends you back to the title screen because we just can't have nice things i guess i'm also glad you complained about the 20-second restarts in V because people just call me impatient when i complain about this thing. i don't get how this is a skill issue when the thing i'm complaining about isn't the game being difficult and instead making it harder for me to get better at it fuck you i'm allowed to complain.

[@JackRileyD]

I want a sequel where you can play as ALL the characters, including Trish, Lady, and Luccia. But not only that, Nero's Devil Breakers can be cycled through like Dante's Styles.

[@jurtheorc8117]

It's not quite the same thing what you mean, but this may be interesting: There's an upcoming character action/hack-and-slash game called Genokids, whereyou can technically play as four characters at once. Plot is: Rock band's concert gets disrupted by alien invasion. Band members get lost. Find them back and defeat the aliens. All band members are like "styles" to switch between and have their own moveset, Specials, Devil Triggers and seem to get two different weapons. - Blue has a guitar that becomes a sword and a bearded axe that can operate as a scythe. - Red has drums that can become thick hot gauntlets. Second weapon hasn't yet been revealed. - Green gets ranged laser drones. Second weapon hasn't yet been revealed. - Yellow... no idea what she plays, probably bass, or she's a songstress. Either way, her weapons a big mallet. Second weapon hasn't yet been revealed. There seem to be fun tricks, like starting up a charge attack with long animation, and then switching to another character while that first character is still *continuing* their animation. Or simply escaping knockback and hitstun by character switching. There is a demo out with Blue and Red playable with one weapon each, if you're interested.
