THIS IS DEVIL MAY CRY?!?! Reacting to "An Incorrect Summary of Devil May Cry 5: PART 1" by Max0r

[@NamedNameless1]

The first Devil May Cry was actually supposed to be Resident Evil 4, but the producer for Resident Evil convinced Capcom to make it its own thing. In the original script, Dante was going to be Leon Kennedy, but soon evolved into a different character named Tony Redgrave, and then became Dante when the game was rebranded to Devil May Cry. The guy who directed Devil May Cry, Hideki Kamiya, is an interesting guy though. He named the character Joseph Frost, a character which died in the opening cutscene of Resident Evil 1, after Joseph Joestar from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, which isn't a rare phenomenon with Capcon games, they love JoJo references. Date's personality was also based on Joseph Joestar. He was also the one who came up with the idea of Brad coming back as a zombie in Resident Evil 2, which was cut out of the remake, but did end up happening in the Resident Evil 3 remake. He was also the guy who made Claire Redfield a biker. He then went on to direct Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and then created the Bayonetta series after leaving Capcom.

[@pegasoz1024]

Damn he is my role model now.

[@Lockes87]

Brad was in the OG as a zombie, only to get special key to get the infinity ammo weapons and alternate costumes. Just can’t pick up anything from the start of the game to the police station, then you go underneath the walkway kill Brad and you get the key for the locker room in the picture room.

2:24 the music is bury the light and its Vergil’s theme, and it was composed by Casey Edward’s and vocals by victor borba

One of the best songs ever made. No cap

So I take it you are a fan?

[@lordwarryl5712]

Well to be honest, never played a DMC game but I was aware of the series haha. Was here cuz of the Storm that Is approaching meme

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

@@VergilArcanisAh yes, the song where the good part accounts for only half of it is superior to a 10 minute rock epic that’s somehow never boring

[@refatbavbekov3862]

well, I'm happy you remembered that I got you all 5 games, I'm hoping that you do get the chance to play it and it's been around since ps2 I believe then the first 3 games got remastered, and the 4th and 5th games were released. I found the games and story really enjoyable, if you want to play through the games story chronologically then you'd play 3,1,2,4,5 in that order.

[@daysand123]

There's also the history of DMC option in 5. Honestly that's a better alternative to playing 2 or watching the original anime.

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

And if you only want the peak of humanity’s creations, just play 2 on repeat until the end of the world.

[@AlexDoubleAU]

What do you mean? There is no DMC2 I think you're crazy There is no DMC2 Nothing happened to anyone

[@imakecrappyvideos9360]

We don't play dmc2 cause it's bad and is just dmc1 2 electric Boogaloo

[@KatsgGgghb]

There is no dmc 2, Wdym?

[@highland2246]

Fun fact: If you manage to beat Urinative in mission 1 you beat the game early (secret ending). I’m not kidding there’s 20 missions and you can end it this early

[@atthewmayeohanekay9294]

You can beat him on mission ONE if you’re good enough. Hard as hell with only basic moves, but it’s damn impressive if you manage to pull it off

[@highland2246]

It’s funny that you even get a achievement “Well I’ll be damned” by doing it like the developers are impressed that you beat a ‘undefeatable’ boss

[@KatsgGgghb]

​@@highland2246he is not unbeatable tbh.. you can.. its just damn hard to do

[@williamts9422]

Vote for Duck to play the entire Devil May Cry series?

[@dustin202]

except 2 nobody should suffer through 2

[@BladerArt]

"It kinda reminds me of Resident Evil" the first DMC game was originally suppose to be Resident Evil 4 before it was scrapped

[@mistman_161]

Also, DMC5 was made using the RE Engine so naturally it looks similar.

[@artistanthony1007]

​@@mistman_161 Yeah was gonna say that.

[@alvaroperez2349]

6:22 the Phys Gun isn’t actually in DMC, that’s just a little joke Max0r made.

[@daysand123]

Nero, the closest relatable character to Yang aside from the addition of a double barreled revolver and a sword that revs up like a motorcycle. Best boy and some of the hypest bits of the series, especially his grab attacks. V is also great. His gameplay may be hilariously easy, but its also fun because its hilariously easy. The only big issue is his own personal moves are a bit limited which makes sense from a narrative perspective which is why his summons do the majority of the work for him but it would have also been cool to have a mode of V that could do something like sacrificing HP to start getting in on the action himself. High risk high reward situation .

[@josefsieffen18]

So, have you ever played a hack and slash action game? Especially one that rewards you for being stylish? Knowing you, the answer is probably no. Devil May Cry was the game that popularized that. This specific game is the fifth main game, after a different developer tried to make a reboot that was a bit divisive. The story is all about Dante, a half-demon/half-human warrior who hunts down demons. On occasion, his equally half-demonic brother Vergil is his enemy, and eventually, he also runs into Nero, another demon hunter who can somehow use Vergil's fancy demonic katana. Also, for some reason , that katana basically replaces Nero's arm to let him use it at any time. Mr random short guy basically steals the katana and uses it to become a demon king. V is the guy who hires Dante and Nero to hunt said demon king down, for reasons he has not explained. Also, yes, the game is a little hard, but not Dark Souls hard. And its also immensely fun, and i highly recommend it. Can't wait for the part two reaction.

[@bananaBread16]

Idk, getting all S-Ranks is very hard, especially when you go fight enemies who will 2 tap you, so either you give for stylish points or no hits to even get the S-Rank, but atleast it's fun

[@josefsieffen18]

@Obamacare596 yeah, but at least you ha e difficulty settings you can change, so it's not too bad.

[@bananaBread16]

@@josefsieffen18 yea but to get all S-Ranks you play every difficulty, meaning you play over a hundred missions

[@joekerr1607]

Fun fact this series was actually originally a new resident evil game, but it got changed to DMC when the developers decided it was too out there even for resident evil. That's why Leon and Dante are so similar looking

[@hikarihakai1285]

9:24 that the funny thing Devil May Cry start out as an old version of Resident Evil 4 but got scraped and turn into it own game instead

[@JacksonLane02]

The video sounds about right with explaining Devil May Cry 5. And it's only the 5th one in the franchise. This whole franchise is silly yet awesome at the same time. And I honestly love it so much

[@yoshigaming9321]

The music in this game was so good it spawned an era of memes Cash Edwards cooked!

[@SKy_the_Thunder]

You notice that even Max0r can't help but admit how fun this game is. Yes, it's a somewhat niche genre, and the characters and humor may not be for everyone - but they did the impossible and created a truly great sequel to a beloved legacy franchise. Pretty much everyone in the scene names Devil May Cry 5 as the gold standard of the series now, even out-competing the nostalgia bonus for the previous holder of that title, DMC3. They did basically everything right: Took 1:1 what people loved about the franchise - from characters to gameplay - and just gave it a new shine. Just take the core gameplay, refine it to perfection, and just expand it as much as the story requires. They even managed to successfully incorporate several aspects from the universally reviled reboot attempt. And the story goes all out as well, gathering narrative threads from all over the franchise and tying them together into a plot that represents basically everything people love about DMC. Also the music. The tracks are fire and they affect your perception of combat so much, they're a game mechanic by themselves. Literally. The more fluid and fancy your gameplay is (as shown by the "Style" ranking) the harder it goes, dynamically changing based on how you're doing in the moment. Makes you _Motivated._

[@leothenohrianprince2727]

So you’re telling me you weren’t expecting a game called Devil May Cry to be about dudes killing demons?

[@hermannmakuta3311]

Will you react to Max0rs Metal Gear Videos after this Summary? I know your original Plan was to play those games first ... BUT ... Max0rs Summarys are REALLY FUNNY !

[@ShadowPKMNcz]

Funny you mentioned that the game reminds you of Resident Evil, because as far as I know the original DMC started out as like a prototype of sorts for RE4.

[@nosomebody7223]

The first devil may cry was supposed to be a resident evil game but was too fantasy and then became its own thing

[@ImTheGuy]

Day three hundred and Fifty Seavenof asking for a reaction to Max0r's MGR inaccurate summarization. THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY PLACES LEFT TO RUN DUCK

[@OtakuJuanma2]

"So how many times will you rematch this guy?" Too many!!

[@christophervanoster]

That music you keep hearing is Bury the Light and Devil Trigger. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND watching/reacting to them. They are the best songs in a video game I’ve ever heard. This is coming from a huge halo nerd so saying that isn’t biased in any way

[@banettebrochacho5636]

I really love the second part of this video honestly, first part js good too but the second is a maxor masterclass

[@speedathecheetah7756]

As a resident of the Atlanta Metro Area I can confirm that Atlanta is screwed up

[@Bigdude0444]

2:10 I've said it before but Max0r videos are unironically relaxing. I guess my specific mental illness concoction works well with his videos.

[@VergilArcanis]

When you mentioned Resident Evil, you are not wrong. the original game was made to be Resident Evil 4, so the camera and whatnot handles similarly. it became its own thing and grew if you ever play the games, you have two options of order. I strongly recommend playing 5 last in both cases. first one is chronological, which is 3, 1, 4, then 5 the second is release order, 1, 3, 4, then 5 we don't talk about 2 because it isn't necessary or important. the first DMC can be skipped, but it does help put into perspective the story. 3 and 4 are imperative to understanding 5 and the advancements in the gameplay

[@dthenihilist4926]

You can also do why Vergil is the coolest character in video games

[@Alone-SF]

Yeah, without context of Devil May Cry as a whole or previous games, combined with Max0r's unique story telling, it might seem a bit confusing.

[@second-son-of-madness721]

The song is "Bury the light" it is amazing I recommend listening to the original and the one by the AI girl Neuro

[@DanteDevilDan]

With Max0r's videos you need to avoid questioning it as when you do you tend to miss some jokes

[@freedantheeternal]

In answer to your question of whether the game is hard, DMC5 is one of the easier games of the series on Normal difficulty, but it also has one of the bigger jumps in difficulty between Normal and Hard of the series. But on it's hardest setting, Dante Must Die, a tradition of the series, I'd put it at number 3 in terms of the hardest of the series, with DMC3 being the hardest on that setting, and DMC1 as number 2. DMC4 is the easiest Dante Must Die setting of the series, though. If you're wondering why I didn't mention a DMC2, it's because there isn't one. I guess when making the first sequel, it was just such a massive improvement over the first they decided to skip the number 2 and go straight to 3.

[@derpbear6351]

[@markerikson7423]

DMC3 is probably the best place to start, followed by maybe the original and then straight to 4, and then you can play this one. These are the only 4 games in the series.

[@shadowmeka.5205]

of course part 2 mate

[@CaptainCFalcon]

You should absolutely play them. (Except for 2, you can skip 2, no one will judge or blame you for it.)

[@bananaBread16]

The game is amazing you should play it, it won the action game of the year in 2019, beating games like warzone, apex, and other really popular games. Though Sekiro won goty because souls games always win also the reason it reminds you of Resident Evil is because Dmc was originally going to be resident evil 4 I think, but they changed it, but the dmc creator decided to take it and turn it into dmc 1, then they created 2 3 and 4 a little after, then after about a decade they made 5 in 2019, though there is the reboot which should be permanently forgotten.

[@warpstarrogue3554]

If you're planning on playing through the games, all players recommend 3, 1, 2 (optional because boring), 4, and 5 in that order. It's best for the best lore.

[@SuperMandibleclaw]

Resident evil and devil may cry are actually both from capcom

[@Mrsir-yk9qy]

part 2

[@arkauthor]

You got to play Devil May Cry 1, 3, 4, and 5, read the 2 books and the 2 Mangas, then watch the anime. None in that order.

[@clarkredgrave2005]

Yeah, but never play DMC2 cuz we know why, and certainly not the reboot either cuz that ain't DMC at all

[@kira516]

​@@clarkredgrave2005i mean, at least 2 is easy just shots everything

[@sharzinlalebazri5673]

I also recommend "Wacky woohoo pizza man adventures" for more funny DMC5 content.
