The Devil May Cry Type Games

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. Let’s consider this an experiment that may or may not pan out. These are the songs I pumped in that were not from the game I was currently talking about at that moment.

[@xyno512]

That Jamiroquai reference was perfect.

[@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.

[@funfries3857]

it's not a developement,it's a characteristic change,DMC3 is literally soft reboot,he is no longer original Dante, Itsuno butchered his characteristic. DMC3 have potential to be DMC Dante but he butchered his characteristic by carry on DMC3 personalities toward current one,Dante never was Emo,he is just a sarcastic person that have serious air around him.

[@maximusbeltraplacian5747]

It's explained in the manga, V and Griffon mugged a guy to get the money to pay Dante for the job.

Dropping this during the Dawntrail server maintenance is so kind

legit and i dont even play devil may cry but i am eating tonight!

[@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

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.

[@JLawrenz]

there's an unofficial translation for it

[@CrimsonWolfStudios]

@1:23:16 V canonically robbed someone to get both the money and his clothes that he wears.

[@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

[@ADEtheMayhem]

are there any other examples of this?

[@Cyperstudio]

[@joblessincarnateVG]

1:27:57 canonically, the tattoos only appeared after V tamed the summons later 1:39:26 Nero legit kept that deadweight comment in his head for a whole month😂😂😂

[@jacobkern2060]

1:34:48 It's also kind of funny that this tracks lore-wise, because demons grow more powerful from consuming human blood. So having an unlimited supply from bone marrow means you're constantly getting stronger.

[@gringofajitas8914]

This is so dumb but i just made this connection. After the bug scientist fight, nero's reach for kriye is basicallly the same reach he does at the end of dmc5, when he unlocks his (bang bang bang) devil trigger, like right before mission 20 I love that intentionally or not, they used the same action in the similar scenarios for nero. In both hes tryna save people and in both he's struggling. The first case he's losing kriye and the second time she's the motivating force Maybe im making a connection where there is none, but with how much nero parellels virigl i wouldnt be surpized if he does the same with himself

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.

[@Mister_Don888]

You mean V?

[@benington1]

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

[@wewserlethaldude9]

Shinji Mikami did not work on Hi-Fi Rush! Gold Orbs originated in DMC 2, and were not in DMC 3 before Special Edition!

[@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

[@kakkadasekazvam3968]

Shoutout to the Arkham voice actor: Adam D. Clark. He poured his heart on that performance (his final speech is like one of my favorite moments in the series) AND was indeed also the voice of Jester who is also great and then practically disappeared from the industry, with just a few extra roles here and there.

Woa Chaos Legion. I completely forgot about this game. You never hear anything about it anywhere

[@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.

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.

[@unnamedx2]

It took me a minute to notice that plastic chair 😂

[@lunarshadow5584]

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.

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.
