I love how dmc is one of the only games where you get the final boss as the playable character and he is still as broken (if not more) than in the boss fight instead of being weak
DmC Devil May Cry was actually the first game to introduce the soundtrack changing based on your style ranking. It was a much simpler system where once you reached S rank the lyrics of the song kicked in, but DMC 5 expanded on it.
DmC was responsible for alot of things in DMC5 like making Vergils DT a doppelganger that only uses the base Yamato while following your inputs, the summoned sword tags for the Darkslayer styles telleports and the Just Release mechanic for the Yamato's Judgement Cut. There was also smaller things like enemy ai behaviours and design theories, that being that alot of them have specific reactions to specific attacks and the Riots' behaviour and attack pattern design is very similar to the Masked Ninja enemies right down to the point that they'll disappear and start attacking again after a certain amount of hits have been dealt.
@@soulcyclone360 That is *very* interesting to read regarding the enemy behaviours and attack patterns. If it's alright to ask, could you elaborate a bit more on that or refer me to the origin point of that information? Or somewhere where it got discussed more?
@@jurtheorc8117 I'm not aware of the exact source, but I would hazard a guess that it was probably in the development interviews and interviews about the developer's feelings regarding DMC: Devil May Cry and the subsequent entry DMC 5. They mentioned that they were excited to work on a second DMC: Devil May Cry game, but that never happened, so they basically took a load of things they liked about that, what they planned for its sequel, and applied it to DMC 5. That's probably one of the big reasons DMC 5 has the aesthetic it has, compared to previous games, including Nero's new look.
DMC5's OST change based on your style ranking is such a goated feature because it pushes and encourages you to get better and the music that plays from Savage to Smokin Sexy Style is making combat encounters so much more hype it's a reward all in itself.
If you like the music changing based on performance, you should definitely try Metal: Hellsinger. FPS game with metal music where hitting on-beat is greatly rewarded
Nah DMC 5 is ballz garbage the stupid arms suck the bs in the air Garbage is garbage and the graphics look Garbage and I got both xb1 and xbseries version
Suuuure, so good that everything was down to colour coded enemies lol 😂, such combo variety... I'm so happy that we have a DMC5 and the whole reboot is trashed tbh. Whoever defends it are people with very low standards. Ranking should go as that from worst to the best: DMC2 (worst), DmC Reboot (also trash just tad better), DMC 4 (very repetitive but decent, too little gameplay variety on Nero, too little Dante), DMC1 (great but a lot of quirks polished later), DMC 5 (big in combo, enemies and such but some old quirks Kik camera or lock on, bad level design), and the best is - DMC3. Updated: i have no idea how Peak of Combat flows so whatever. It's not canon anyways...
yeah the character designs were ok even if dante looks like a methhead but i love the gameplay and the story was ok but it could’ve been so much better and i hope we get a sequel that fixes the issues with dontes personality lmao
@deadlyninja112 That was also because they didn't get to it. Their plan was to have Dante get a motorcycle weapon, that why he keeps suddenly having one, even when he's in Hell. But they ran out of time. So, they referenced it in 3, and finally did it in 5.
@@Milz.TBlue Vergil was enough for me personally. I honestly just like the designs for Nero and Dante in this game tho so I don’t mind the non existent extra costumes.
Do people even realize that DMC5 ONLY has good combat??? Because its art direction is one of the most bland in the series, has nearly no gothic architecture, the platforming segments are non existent, the puzzles and backtracking is completely gone, exploring big zones without doing anything between fighting is BORING, locations are repetitive, all the cool action in cutscenes takes less than 2 minutes, probably. And speaking of combat - the difficulty is too easy even on hardest available at the beginning difficulty. I'm not going to replay the game to finally have some challenge 😑 Also, the V segments... How is this game so great, supposedly?
"No hiding in the shadows anymore". This one line had me bawling when DMC 5 got announced. After over a decade, CAPCOM gave us the game we had been wanting for. DMC 5 will always be a special game to me
Nice to see a DMC fan giving the reboot a fair shake. It's not a bad game at all and with the improvements made in the PS4 version it's in my top 3 DMC games just behind 5 and 3. Also, it easily has the best level design in the whole series and best platforming too.
Even though in general I agree that reboot isn't bad as an action game (especially outside of the series) I have to make some remarks. 1. I played it on release and it was horrible, due to "beat red monsters with red weapon, blue with blue or you get stunned", "you can spam any 1 button to get S rank and it will not drop after being hit", etc. From what I've heard about patches and updates - seems like they've made it better afterwards but it was late for me. 2. Level design is very subjective. Personally I hate limbo cause it feels cheap by making the whole screen messy while in other games of the series you can wonder around and inspect gothic surroundings and such. Comparatively it takes nearly no skill to shuffle textures into a mess instead of creating something thoughtful. Saying that as an artist myself. 3. Actually it has worst platforming. DMC is not about platforming which was all over the place in reboot and it was always pointless. You have a couple places with platforming in each game of the series but they are rare and made as puzzles of some sort. Like jumping on rotating cubes in DMC3. Platforming in reboot is just a braindead spider-man simulator where you basically cannot fail and the only thing they are doing - prolonging the playtime of a slasher via non-combat activities. 4. Real achievement of reboot in comparison with other games in a series - no back tracking and short but unique questline for Vergil. That was really refreshing however no one ever mentioned it in my memory among people who liked reboot for whatever reasons. Just wanted to say that there are pros and cons, but none of them are universally "easily the best"
No, it does have the best level design, just study Ninja Theory's work on it and you'll see. Basically you said "okay, you have some points, but in my personal taste it wasn't that great" Stop taking your personal experience and assuming it is the only truth about the game@@aerdramonn
Besides everything, I never understood why people talk badly about the story of the reboot when the series never stood out for having a minimally coherent story
Yeah the reboot is a good game you cannot lie. It was my first DMC experience and I quite enjoyed it. However, after playing the other DMC games I can understand the debate. The reboot doesnt feel like it belongs to DMC universe
and they're also the best looking ones imo. aside from majin and SDT, I think all the designs since 3 have looked really bad. vergil has also always looked good in every game too
I feel like I’m the only DMC fan that really enjoyed the gameplay of the reboot game. I wish they stuck with the aesthetic of the first trailer they made for the game, it seemed like a much more interesting story. Regardless, this video is really good. Glad to see other fans here as well.
You're definitely not alone there. I do enjoy it, but I just like the OG series more. It's funny that you mention that first trailer because I was always curious about how that story / style would have panned out if they fully committed to it.
I think the thing was always the gameplay was pretty good but everything else around it was bad, also remember the Reboot game only had auto lock on, no manual, the blue and red coloured enemies would bounce you off them if you used anything that didn't match the colour, and the style ranking wasn't based on variety it was pure damage so you could just spam the same heavy axe move to get SSS, all that on the launch version of the game, it was only the updated version later that changed that stuff that made the gameplay good, so if you pair that with everything else you can see why people hated it and didn't want to go back after an update. I also wish they had stuck with the original trailer version of the aesthetics, it would make sense for grungy depressed punk rock Dante to be like that as a teen, they could have actually fit it into the canon like that with him not knowing about the corruption around him and slowly figuring out his powers and the importance of stopping the other demons, it could have been really cool, but they went too far in a different direction, reminder, the director of that reboot said Dante was a gay cowboy, and said he's not cool, then showed a picture of what he thought was cool, and it was a picture of the director smoking wearing a punk jacket trying to look cool, he then told the team to design Dante after that. I might be wrong but I think they had a different director come in to finish off the project because that guy wasn't doing good enough too, so even the good parts of the game could be attributed to someone else.
You're not alone. I will go as far as saying i think "Dmc the definitive version" is the best in the series. Loved the gameplay. Loved Dante's new look. Loved the Angel and demon weapons/enemies. Loved the bosses. Loved the fact you could pick different skins. It's overall just a super solid game. I wish they continued with a part 2. I read the developers were already busy with making the first lvl of part 2 which continues where Dmc ends. Dante beated Virgil and is now protecting the earth from demons. Then after beating the first lvl, Dante sees this huge Angel warrior at the horizon and a boss battle starts. They wanted to focus more on the Angel warriors in part 2, which sounds awesome to me. But somehow they didn't get the "okay" to make the game. Major downer. Truly loved Dmc.
I may just a huge casual normie, but i really enjoyy the hec out of DMC Mobile, still now, especially after just getting Vergil SS (Sword) n Dante SS (punch). They're so much fun n simple, fr.
@damsen978 dude its kinda obvious why someone would play a mobile version of dmc because they device limations/they dont wanna spend money on the game or they just wanna play it on the go
@@soulcyclone360just popping in to say Dmc mobile is a complete cash grab. You can have fun playing the game if you are lucky with the gacha system. Otherwise your locked out of certain content without specific characters or elemental characters.
Man I really hope we get a dmc6 focused on vergil and dante, there’s still a goldmine worth of fulfilling potential for stories there, it’d be criminal to end their story with 5, as good and cathartic as it was.
Casey Edwards is a LEGEND. Bury The Light was actually gonna be like 6 minutes long, that would have fit the brief for the job he was given, but he gave us that whole ending just out of love for it.
DMC2 is definitely best played with Trish, if you survive the grind to get her. Great to hear from R K taking about the mobile games. I´m sure, I´ve watched every of his move compilations on POC 1.0.
It's funny because i mained them not knowing how strong the team actually was. I went to my first tournament and someone there introduced me to the ZMC tech, and I have not looked back since LOL
Hey gamer, great video, liked it a lot. Found you through your Hi Fi Rush videos but I've liked DMC for a long time so decided to stick around, even if I am a fake fan who has only played V
DmC is really nostalgic for me because it's one of the first games I ever played. I can definitely recognize it's not as good as the other games in the series, but it's still a good play. The combat's smooth and the music's good.
As a long time fan who has played every game, DMC5 was such a pleasant surprise. The combat is some of the best in gaming, the feeling of ending a fight with SSS rank, and the slow motion. Definitely right up there with DMC3, imo.
Its kinda crazy to see someone critique games you love so much, because everything you are saying makes sense and i kinda agree. The funny part is that the time i played those games i didn't notice any problems like you showed now, i was so hyped for DMC4 SE that when it came out i played it all again and felt like a teenager all over again playing DMC3SE
I'm kinda scared to see if DMC6 can even live up to the hype after how good DMC5 was, it would be nice to get Lady and Trish as fleshed out as the characters in 5 too, but it seems making full set of levels or having more fleshed out combat is a challenge to get both in the same game. 4 and 5 had levels split between the characters.
I dont really think there will be dmc 6. Dmc 5 was made with the word "end" in the thoughts. Capcom had the elephant in the room, that being dmc 4 ending which alluded to the sequel. They wanted to tie the knots with dmc 5, which was made well, thus leaving a sweet taste, just how it should.
I figured to add a neat little fun fact about DMC3 and the special edition. Did you know that your attacks change when you get your combo rank to SSS? When in SSS, your attacks will appear flashier/bigger and the attacks' damage value is enhanced.
27:27 I actually dont mind that the enemies fly into the air when you activate the DT, gives you a free opening to do an air combo against stronger enemies
DmC reboot genuinely had so much potential, i really liked the combat style of dante having all weapons at the same time, platforming (kinda) felt nice too and the concept of us being in the limbo world and the world design itself looked really great too. The game itself felt really smooth and I'm just mad that a lot of that potential was wasted because of the character designs,their personality and the whole story, and most of all...vergil. just why did they make vergil so trash? it pissed me off.
Props for not completing thrashing DmC, I was expecting it to end up in F tiers cause everybody hates it, I get it but it really wasn't a bad game I even believe it would have had one or 2 sequels by now if it wasn't tied to the dmc name and was it's own Ip
It's a pretty good game even without the Definitive Edition (DE is definitely leagues above the base game but I stand by my point). Heck alot of DMC5 has DmC inspiration written all over it so to say it did nothing right like all the irrational haters claim is bogus. Good games are allowed to have flaws that you wished didn't exist, heck, all other DMC games are examples of that.
1. Devil May Cry 5: 10/10 2. Devil May Cry 3: 10/10 3. Devil May Cry 4: 9.5/10 (best gameplay in the series tbh) 4. Devil May Cry: 9/10 5. DmC Devil May Cry: 8/10 (it’s not bad at all and the gameplay is legit great it’s just an unnecessary reboot) 6. Devil May Cry 2: 4.5/10 (I tried to get good at this game to see if my enjoyment went up but I just couldn’t like it)
as an OG fan of the series playing every single game and having watched the anime I want to state that each game has unique charms that make them epic on their own. Personally, I will always hail 3 as possibly the best in the entire series - it was just such an amazing game it really set the standard for what a DMC game should be like - a good mix of puzzle solving and badass action along with some comedy bits. I have a special love for every game in the series, but if I had to pick favorites top 3 are probably DMC 3, DmC: Devil May Cry, and DMC 1 - in that order.
Definitely accurate, DMCV is my favorite one in the series since 3 and the inclusion of Virgil as a playable character made sense and felt phenomenal. I just played through his missions and Yamato feels better to play with than any of the previous games.
"DMC4 clearly has top tier production value." I would not be so sure about that. Reportedly DMC4´s budget was very similar to what the other games got. MT Framework makes the game look gorgeous, but the developers were cutting corning wherever possible right from the start, at one point they were not even planning for Dante to be a playable character.
I know that they ran out of time but I wasn't 100% sure on what their budget situation was like. I did also hear that Dante was a last minute addition to service the Dante fans, I think it was Reuben that said it in that Power Rangers interview with Dan and Johnny
@@ksabar234 quality? The game that was coded on masking tape and has more design flaws than DMC1? You only like that game because it's as broken as it is, and even then you have to overlook so many issues just to make an argument for it.
After all the Resident Evil remakes that have come out, I would love a DMC1 and DMC2 remake in that same vain. Like, give them the DMC5 treatment with 3rd person fighting and all that.
kinda rare to see an unbiased and honest opinion on DmC. Though I disagree that it’s good because of connection to the original series. I feel like if it was an independent project, it would’ve had much more to it, as the story was very very very limited with the canon of original series. Also the fact the outrage of changing everything really shot down any chance of continuation I think it had more chances and more opportunities if it wasn’t a byproduct of DMC series. The story could’ve had a better flow instead of having a worse version of an existing plot with few baits and switches and deus ex machinas sprinkled just to move the plot the way they need and not the way they want. Also it wouldn’t have sparked such shitstorm and had a chance for sequel
Ironically DmC Devil May Cry was my first introduction to the series as it was free on game pass. then I found out it was a reboot and played Devil May Cry 5 as it was also free with game pass, and its the most fun I've ever had with gaming ever, i couldn't afford the older games but watched all the gameplay walkthroughs etc and my god its one of, if not my favorite game series by far. I really hope they remaster some of the previous games eventually as seeing young Dante etc in newer graphics would be phenomenal. Amazing tier list btw!!!
Dmc 5 was peak and became a cultural phenomenon. I mean, I was seeing Vergil plastic chair memes with bury the light in the background on anime media, it was hilarious. No one was safe from those memes.
DMC4 is what got me into gaming for real, i love the dmc story and i vibe with it, DMC5 came out when i moved to the UK and it was the best birthday present i ever bough to myself. The Hype is real. But sadly yeah the DMC Devil may cry did us dirty with the Vergil sniping a pregnant woman. Now that i think back at it (im 30yo) thats so immoral. But Casey did us justice with banger soundtracks and i love all the varriety of shorts/memes that came to life. Gib Vergil more power please
You wouldn't believe this, but I'm in the same camp as you regarding the DMC: Devil May Cry. I just liked the game, but it's really not the best one in the series, not even close. If we're taking only the mainline games, it's 3, 5, 4, 1, 2 for me. The reboot is just a more edgy take on the series, it has its moments.
I personally think dmc 4 se actually fixes a lot of issues for the game especially the content, it adds replay value because of the 3 new characters and i also heard grinding for soul orbs in the original was very tedious and they changed it in se to make it less annoying, id probably put it at A tier
Two of those three characters mostly recycle what Dante has while introducing their own problems. Vergils only real down side is that once you hit an enemy with a Summoned Sword your Darkslayer dodge will always go straight to the enemy and lock you out of your up dodge until the sword despawns, so glad that didn't come back for DMC5
I just bought the reboot a couple days ago(the original. Not the definitive edition) and I can say I'm having a blast. I will admit not being able to manually lock on was a bit strange at first but I'd say it was pretty good.
I finally realized what DmC is, it's Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. Basically a game that someone made hearing about the game and making it with best intentions but you can tell it's ok at best.
I'mma just say, Peak of Combat is actually good. What really gets to me is the multiplayer, the actual release allows you to make a team and weave combos based on it. The only real problem I see is the gatcha lends itself to make "Limited" characters have more mechanics than the rest, getting a little p2w.
You said you were introduced to Dante because of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3? For me, it was the other way around. I grew up with Devil May Cry 3 definitive edition. I was so inexperienced, when I got the "easy mode" I was like "OH thank God!" Lol Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom introduced me to Deadpool though. Reintroduced me to Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and Phoenix Wright. Such a cool ass fighting game. I am pleasently surprised with how much love the DMC community has received and continues to receive. They got an anime, at least 4 solid main games, and several neat spinoffs. Even if douchebag Dante sucks, that game was fun as hell. I gotta say. Devil May Cry 3 and Third Strike are wonderful additions to my collection of difficult but fun games. PS2 has a lot of those. Gamecube, Sega Genesis. We don't get a lot of systems like these no more, but there's always Pizza Tower and Hi Fi Rush. Y'all definitely need to try Hi Fi Rush if you're a big DMC fan. It's amazing.
1. Dmc 5 (best music in maybe all of gaming, incredible gameplay and story, and amazing visuals and boss fights) 2. Dmc 4 (Awesome world and environments, great bosses and combat, and a very enthralling story. Biggest issue is backtracking) 3. Dmc 3 (Great world, although some of the level design and enemies can be annoying, great music and boss fights and the best story) 4. Dmc 1 (Awesome atmosphere, solid music and bosses, combat is slow and kinda clunky tho) 5. Dmc 2 (Final boss is excellent, everything else is a step down from the previous game) 6. Dmc devil may cry (gotta be the worst story in a game ever. Its seriously horrendous, Gameplay is alright tho)
Honestly, as someone who got into the series kind of.... all at once, I actually don't hate the reboot, and happily bought a second copy for my PS4 when I got it. It's not a good "Devil May Cry" game, but it's still a fun game, as well as being funny in its way. I've got the whole series (as possible) on my PS4 and I'm so stoked to have access to them all.
DMC 5 was my first introduction into the Franchise. After that i decided to play the rest of the games. Since then ive became a big DMC fan. About DMC Reboot, i personally loved the gameplay and the story was good!
Hey man, new to the channel. Found you through your Bayonetta videos😎 I recently got back into hacknslash games after years of not playing them and i fell in love with all the Bayonetta games and DMC5 again. Admittedly, I cant be called a real dmc fan since ive only seen my cousin play dmc1 and 3 when i was a kid and Ive only played dmc5😅 Thats why I appreciate the story recap they present to you in the menu for new guys like me, but I love the game enough to attempt the platinum on ps5. I have all the Bayonettas on switch but should I pick up the DMC collection on ps4 or buy the old games on switch, if I want more?🤔
I really appreciate the comment! As for your question, that's entirely up to you. Normally I'd just say buy the HD Collection but DMC3 on the Switch has those extra features... in terms of saving money while getting the best of both worlds, i feel like you could get the HD collection when it's on sale and *also* buy 3SE on Switch
@@AntonioRedgrave Sounds good, I think Ill start with the HD collection on ps4 and get dmc3 se on switch when its on sale later down the road. Judging by the fanbase's reaction, It seems I should avoid dmc2 and honestly it definetely looks like the worst of them all lol The best games seem to be the odd numbered ones (1, 3, 5). I'm hoping for DMC6 and Bayonetta 4. They both have potential to be even better and its funny that they both might have similar storylines: Nero possibly going to the Underworld to rescue Dante and Vergil just like how Bayo 4 could be Viola on a journey to earn her title, while somehow saving Luka and Bayonetta from the depths of hell. Where do you think these series will go?
I'd still play 2 at some point. It's actually fun to experience it in the context where you *know* it's not going to be as great. In terms of where both DMC and Bayo are heading, my biggest hope is they stick with the Mission structure instead of chasing trends. Bayo 3 was originally supposed to be open world and even though i guess it *could* work, i think they should continue to innovate on what they do best
@@AntonioRedgrave Alright, ill give dmc2 a chance when i get the collection lol But Im also glad you made that statement about not chasing trends. I wish more people would agree with that. Not everything needs to be open world and theres nothing wrong with mission based or linear/semi-linear gameplay (Ex: Look at Armored Core 6). If it aint broke dont fix it. They should just continue to do what theyve always done, listen to fan feedback and stick to what makes these games so unique and badass. Im not worried about dmc6, so what Im really hoping for in Bayo 4 is the demon mechanic returning (I ended up loving it), revamping/fixing Viola's combat and most importantly...give us remappable buttons goddamnit!😂 (Theres no excuse when dmc and most modern games let you do that🤷♂️)
Legit got DMC V for PC last year without knowing that I also bought Vergil as well and after a few months I finally found out and had the time of my life XD
I will go as far as saying i think "Dmc the definitive version" is the best in the series. Loved the gameplay. Loved Dante's new look. Loved the Angel and demon weapons/enemies. Loved the bosses.

Oh man... the peak of combat tragedy still gets me... This mobile game actually improved Vergil's gameplay and did way more for every character.. but then the changed it 2.0.
I just finished dmc dmc about a week ago, it wouldve been liked more if it didnt have dmc in the title, also i find it funny they took vergils fedora in the remaster
Just got into the DmC series with DMC:V on PC God, I suck ass at the game but it’s still been fun to finish the story and try to become better and better.
Everyone starts somewhere. It took me YEARS of pouring hundreds of hours into these games before things started to click. Even now, I still struggle with certain characters. Definitely focus on having fun and the skills will devlop over time!
@@AntonioRedgraveYeah after the main campaign I switched to Vergil on Normal and it’s crazy how much more fun it felt when you (get tricked) into feeling like you have skill. Really great vid on all the different games! Having a guest Revolthell come in about the *SUPER* obscure stuff was great.
Peak of Combat being over the DmC reboot is a massive f-bomb to everyone here, considering how influential it was for DMC 5 and even DMC 4 SE. But regarding Peak of combat, I'll give you a hint, you should download and play it right now considering it's free.
I wasn’t planning on buying the Dmc collection on switch because I thought it was going to suck. But now since you said it changed Dmc 3 in a very good way I wanna buy it now
I remember playing through DMC 2 on Lucia Must Die mode and Tateobesu (the underwater boss) was by far the worst boss to have to fight against. The boss can go invisible and you can’t aim it at when it does this. During the entire boss fight, it went invisible, so I had to sit there and hope that I aimed at it correctly. I don’t remember how many hours I spent trying to kill that boss.

1 - great start, we don't talk about 2, 3 - best story and great gameplay, 4 - best gameplay (inertia if you know you know), reboot good gameplay but ass story, 5 best overall package
@@soulcyclone360 I'd agree with you if it wasn't just a carbon copy of the other games with inferior characters. They shit on the others like Dante's white hair and instead of sticking to their own thing they make Vergil randomly evil and have Dante follow the same arc from 3 even ending with the white hair they mocked. The game is great but the story is an eye roll. Kinda wish we got the chain smoker crack Dante from the OG trailers, but that's on capcom not ninja theory. 2 is really the only bad main game both story and gameplay wise to the point capcom actively avoid it as much as possible. And for making sparda a bitch in chains the reboot automatically drops a point. how they gonna do the OG so dirty like that
@@Mr-Geist-Bong let me break down my reasoning for you: -DMC1: Has a strong start but beyond the halfway point it becomes a jumbled mess of disconnected plot points, Dante barely reacts to the big reveal that Vergil was Nelo Angelo and that he had just killed him, Trish's betrayal, supposed death, and redemption is three separate heel turns with no build up or explanation, Dantes reasoning for why he does anything for Trish (that being that he looks like his mother) is both a flawed and unexplored plot point, the ending of the game in general sounds like three different people had an idea for what should happen but couldn't agree with which choice to go with and just put them all in at the last minute because the assets and animation had already been done by that point, the final scene of them flying away in the plane has got to be one of the biggest jokes of the series since it has no build up, nothing about Dantes character up until this point implies that this is normal for him to say what he says which makes it feel forced in every sense of the word, would've been better if he had just stayed quite the whole time instead of trying to make him a super deep philosopher when nothing had built him up to that throughout the whole game. Overall, people only give this game's story any credit because it was the first game of the series, it gave us the main character and set up how flashy said main character is but that's it, you likely remember the Alastor scene way more than anything the game tried to tell you about the story. DMC2: anything I say about this game feels like bullying because it's a blatantly unfinished product with a team that barley knew what to do with it before Hideaki Itsuno came in at the last minute to atleast make it presentable before its release. It had a story but it just had no interest in telling it in the game, Lucia is a carbon copy of Trish but with even less motivation to do anything and Dante went from being an inconsistent but forgivable level of seriousness from the first game to having nothing to say at all in the second one. The only thing DMC2 has going for it is Dantes drip and that it had some cool ideas for Dantes moves that would be explored better in the following games. DMC3: is the best story of the series hands down, but there is one issue that no one really brings up. People love to say that DmC is bad for stuff just happening without much build up and that Dantes turn to being a good guy just sort of happens or that Vergils whole monologue for why he'll fight Dante should have had more build up, but DMC3 Dante has that exact same problem, he goes from an goofy, lone wolf, punk to a hero that fights for humanity because it's the right thing to do at the very end of the game with next to no build up, it's only implied at the end of the game that he had undergone any growth from the start at all. We don't get any internal monologue, he doesn't say anything to Lady or Vergil about why he's fighting outside of his sibling rivalry, he rejected the idea of having a father right up until his boss fight with Lady where he credits her for his change of heart, something that was barely eluded to before that point and definitely never verbalised by Dante himself who had spent the entire game fighting for the sake of getting even with Vergil. It's a good game with an amazing story but Dantes heel turn to a hero is even less built up to than DmC Vergils heel turn into a villain since we at least got some hints as to how he really thought about humans earlier in the game. DMC4: is way to spread out and underdeveloped story wise that it give DMC2 a run for its money with how much it doesn't seem to care about much of anything. If you played the game and watched the cut-scenes you likely know what I'm talking about. DMC5: has one of the most cohesive stories of the franchise with only a few hiccups, the game expects us to think that the mystery behind V's existence is a an actual mystery beyond the forth mission and Nero's power of friendship moment at the end of the game could have been leagues better than what it was but was still a fun moment and was a great spectacle to cap off the game. Of all five mainline games only two have a good story, that's over half the games of the og franchise which is accurate to my first comment. And I want to mention that I'm not including any of the Mangas or graphic novels in the discussion because I specified the story of the "games" in the previous comment. A games story shouldn't need required reading from an outside source to be cohesive.
DMC4SE is actually why we have DMC5. It was simply a little nod to the fanbase after DmC released but many fans took that as "They're going back to old Devil May Cry" which made it the most successful DMC game. Which then made Capcom realize how much they fucked up rebooting something that only needed few tweaks. Also about the "Lack of enemies" that's just straight up a bad critic and a huge lack of understanding about action games as a whole. DmC technically has less enemies but no one complains there. Really telling how people parrot bad opinions simply because everyone else says it. The enemies in 4 were fantastic callbacks to older DMCs.
I'm not opposed to a remake of DMC3, but if I had to choose I'd rather have a new installment first, a spin off with Lady & Trish, and if they started remakes I would want them to start with DMC1 and DMC2.
DMC Devil May Cry is the only game where you could beat Hell and Hell mod without being those 0.01 perfect frame godlike stylish player. At the start i was like what the hell is this, but as you said it, every button had some point and the only DMC game where i felt comfortable playing it on harder difficulty
Always got the feeling that Virgil in the reboot was more like how people wanted him to be. You know nicer and wanting to be Dante's brother loves him over humanity and the girl that he supposed to be mentoring Kat I think her name is. I mean it's been a while but I like the personal feeling of them going home relating to their mother and trying to figure out what happened. I like the painting and how it helps them relate and Virgil had admitted that he had found his power there and hope that Dante could too that's why we could focus more on Dante's reaction to the estate.. but I would have liked to have a playthroughs where vrgil went there too kind of annoys me. I played the reboot first before anything else plus I did not know that the OG game was based on resident evil. So yeah I'm not adverse to liking the OG over most of the others but I got to say I got a special place for the reboot❤🎉
Okay... we all know DMC 3 is god tier and DMC 5 is god tier.. But can we just appreciate DMC reboot for a min. Listen, I get it. "That aint my Dante" and the story was pretty cringe BUT the gameplay and level design was fucking awesome. If you take out its identity as a reboot and make it some spin off, multi-universal type, stand alone game? It would've be pretty fucking amazing. Like imagine if reboot Dante actually canonically NOT our Dante and somehow got into the main universe to help out the main cast.
I have the mobile version of DMC4 on my modern iPad, I bought the game a long time ago and all I did was go to my purchases and I was able to download it with no problem
1. The hat in DmC:DMC is actually a Trillby, that all the "M'Lady" guys use. Fedoras have wider brims and are legit cool noir-lookin' hats. Like, remember Alucard from Hellsing manga/anime? That is Fedora, but with a flat top/cap. 2. Putting DMC2 below the shitty remake?! Blasphemy sir. Sincerely, bollocks. DMC 2 has potential, and even a mod that adds combos from DMC1 back. All remake has is a child-friendly gameplay skill ceiling.
@@soulcyclone360 kid, nice bait. But I did play that crap, cuz I lost a bet. So shut it and shove it right where that game belongs - where the sun doesn't shine.
I'm nicely surprised you didn't put DmC: Devil May Cry as "Into the void". It is a solid game, and if it wasn't for the existence of the other games, everyone would've loved it. People are just mad you don't get long-white-hair-cool-as-fuck Dante.
If there's any improvement on devil may cry 5 SE and there's a 6, even if i have to wait 10 years. My head will literally explode and im sure any person that loves this series as much head will xplode also😂😭

I love how dmc is one of the only games where you get the final boss as the playable character and he is still as broken (if not more) than in the boss fight instead of being weak
Fr, vergil is op as hell
@@caiob38 what you Can exept from the motivated dude
Yea, the only move boss Vergil has that playable Vergil doesn't is the one where he flies around the stage
And stabbing Dante in the chest while smiling, and smiling as he does it
And don't forget the silent jackpot.
DmC Devil May Cry was actually the first game to introduce the soundtrack changing based on your style ranking. It was a much simpler system where once you reached S rank the lyrics of the song kicked in, but DMC 5 expanded on it.
DmC was responsible for alot of things in DMC5 like making Vergils DT a doppelganger that only uses the base Yamato while following your inputs, the summoned sword tags for the Darkslayer styles telleports and the Just Release mechanic for the Yamato's Judgement Cut.
There was also smaller things like enemy ai behaviours and design theories, that being that alot of them have specific reactions to specific attacks and the Riots' behaviour and attack pattern design is very similar to the Masked Ninja enemies right down to the point that they'll disappear and start attacking again after a certain amount of hits have been dealt.
@@soulcyclone360 That is *very* interesting to read regarding the enemy behaviours and attack patterns. If it's alright to ask, could you elaborate a bit more on that or refer me to the origin point of that information? Or somewhere where it got discussed more?
dmc5 is a lame copy
@@jurtheorc8117 I'm not aware of the exact source, but I would hazard a guess that it was probably in the development interviews and interviews about the developer's feelings regarding DMC: Devil May Cry and the subsequent entry DMC 5. They mentioned that they were excited to work on a second DMC: Devil May Cry game, but that never happened, so they basically took a load of things they liked about that, what they planned for its sequel, and applied it to DMC 5. That's probably one of the big reasons DMC 5 has the aesthetic it has, compared to previous games, including Nero's new look.
Ninja theory's Devil May cry is the best of all of them
DMC5's OST change based on your style ranking is such a goated feature because it pushes and encourages you to get better and the music that plays from Savage to Smokin Sexy Style is making combat encounters so much more hype it's a reward all in itself.
If you like the music changing based on performance, you should definitely try Metal: Hellsinger. FPS game with metal music where hitting on-beat is greatly rewarded
This was actually introduced with DMC Devil May Cry first
@@ZXaria ooh that’s a fun game
Nah DMC 5 is ballz garbage the stupid arms suck the bs in the air Garbage is garbage and the graphics look Garbage and I got both xb1 and xbseries version
@@NeoMoonSevin graphics are sick and all, but this is devil may cry where you want performance more than fidelity bro
Tbh DmC: devil may cry wasnt that bad, sure the story was ass, but the gameplay was phenomenal
The reboot had more costumes also which dmc4 and dmc5 lack
DmC is a good example for bad story presented very well visually
Suuuure, so good that everything was down to colour coded enemies lol 😂, such combo variety... I'm so happy that we have a DMC5 and the whole reboot is trashed tbh. Whoever defends it are people with very low standards.
Ranking should go as that from worst to the best: DMC2 (worst), DmC Reboot (also trash just tad better), DMC 4 (very repetitive but decent, too little gameplay variety on Nero, too little Dante), DMC1 (great but a lot of quirks polished later), DMC 5 (big in combo, enemies and such but some old quirks Kik camera or lock on, bad level design), and the best is - DMC3.
Updated: i have no idea how Peak of Combat flows so whatever. It's not canon anyways...
the story wasnt even ass either
yeah the character designs were ok even if dante looks like a methhead but i love the gameplay and the story was ok but it could’ve been so much better and i hope we get a sequel that fixes the issues with dontes personality lmao
The fact that riding on a rocket fist is considered “standard” just goes to show how amazingly ridiculous this series can get with its moves.
They never made a Devil May Cry 2. If I recall, they skipped it and went straight to 3.
Then why do we have cavalier in 5?
@@Jeezes718they thought about that from thin air.
@@Jeezes718i always thought it was because of that scene in DMC3 where he was beating up demons with a motorcyle and then it explodes after 😂
@deadlyninja112
That was also because they didn't get to it.
Their plan was to have Dante get a motorcycle weapon, that why he keeps suddenly having one, even when he's in Hell.
But they ran out of time.
So, they referenced it in 3, and finally did it in 5.
Brother if it wasn't for 2 dmc 3 would never have turned out the was it did be grateful.
Fantastic tier list and im always glad to see DMC5 get the praise it deserves for being such a legendary game, even outside of the DMC series!
DMC5 is the GOAT! I just wish that the devs had added different costume options instead of just a simple re-color.. 💀
@@Milz.TIt would been cool playing as dmc2 Dante outfit
@@Milz.TBlue Vergil was enough for me personally. I honestly just like the designs for Nero and Dante in this game tho so I don’t mind the non existent extra costumes.
Do people even realize that DMC5 ONLY has good combat???
Because its art direction is one of the most bland in the series, has nearly no gothic architecture, the platforming segments are non existent, the puzzles and backtracking is completely gone, exploring big zones without doing anything between fighting is BORING, locations are repetitive, all the cool action in cutscenes takes less than 2 minutes, probably.
And speaking of combat - the difficulty is too easy even on hardest available at the beginning difficulty.
I'm not going to replay the game to finally have some challenge 😑 Also, the V segments...
How is this game so great, supposedly?
@@turbotrup96 L take and L opinion. DMC 5 GOATED easily.
"No hiding in the shadows anymore". This one line had me bawling when DMC 5 got announced. After over a decade, CAPCOM gave us the game we had been wanting for. DMC 5 will always be a special game to me
Nice to see a DMC fan giving the reboot a fair shake. It's not a bad game at all and with the improvements made in the PS4 version it's in my top 3 DMC games just behind 5 and 3. Also, it easily has the best level design in the whole series and best platforming too.
Even though in general I agree that reboot isn't bad as an action game (especially outside of the series) I have to make some remarks.
1. I played it on release and it was horrible, due to "beat red monsters with red weapon, blue with blue or you get stunned", "you can spam any 1 button to get S rank and it will not drop after being hit", etc. From what I've heard about patches and updates - seems like they've made it better afterwards but it was late for me.
2. Level design is very subjective. Personally I hate limbo cause it feels cheap by making the whole screen messy while in other games of the series you can wonder around and inspect gothic surroundings and such. Comparatively it takes nearly no skill to shuffle textures into a mess instead of creating something thoughtful. Saying that as an artist myself.
3. Actually it has worst platforming. DMC is not about platforming which was all over the place in reboot and it was always pointless. You have a couple places with platforming in each game of the series but they are rare and made as puzzles of some sort. Like jumping on rotating cubes in DMC3. Platforming in reboot is just a braindead spider-man simulator where you basically cannot fail and the only thing they are doing - prolonging the playtime of a slasher via non-combat activities.
4. Real achievement of reboot in comparison with other games in a series - no back tracking and short but unique questline for Vergil. That was really refreshing however no one ever mentioned it in my memory among people who liked reboot for whatever reasons.
Just wanted to say that there are pros and cons, but none of them are universally "easily the best"
No, it does have the best level design, just study Ninja Theory's work on it and you'll see.
Basically you said "okay, you have some points, but in my personal taste it wasn't that great"
Stop taking your personal experience and assuming it is the only truth about the game@@aerdramonn
I still think the reboot sucks.
Besides everything, I never understood why people talk badly about the story of the reboot when the series never stood out for having a minimally coherent story
Yeah the reboot is a good game you cannot lie. It was my first DMC experience and I quite enjoyed it. However, after playing the other DMC games I can understand the debate. The reboot doesnt feel like it belongs to DMC universe
What I love about dmc3 is that each weapon has a unique devil trigger skin
and they're also the best looking ones imo. aside from majin and SDT, I think all the designs since 3 have looked really bad. vergil has also always looked good in every game too
I feel like I’m the only DMC fan that really enjoyed the gameplay of the reboot game. I wish they stuck with the aesthetic of the first trailer they made for the game, it seemed like a much more interesting story. Regardless, this video is really good. Glad to see other fans here as well.
You're definitely not alone there. I do enjoy it, but I just like the OG series more. It's funny that you mention that first trailer because I was always curious about how that story / style would have panned out if they fully committed to it.
I think the thing was always the gameplay was pretty good but everything else around it was bad, also remember the Reboot game only had auto lock on, no manual, the blue and red coloured enemies would bounce you off them if you used anything that didn't match the colour, and the style ranking wasn't based on variety it was pure damage so you could just spam the same heavy axe move to get SSS, all that on the launch version of the game, it was only the updated version later that changed that stuff that made the gameplay good, so if you pair that with everything else you can see why people hated it and didn't want to go back after an update.
I also wish they had stuck with the original trailer version of the aesthetics, it would make sense for grungy depressed punk rock Dante to be like that as a teen, they could have actually fit it into the canon like that with him not knowing about the corruption around him and slowly figuring out his powers and the importance of stopping the other demons, it could have been really cool, but they went too far in a different direction, reminder, the director of that reboot said Dante was a gay cowboy, and said he's not cool, then showed a picture of what he thought was cool, and it was a picture of the director smoking wearing a punk jacket trying to look cool, he then told the team to design Dante after that.
I might be wrong but I think they had a different director come in to finish off the project because that guy wasn't doing good enough too, so even the good parts of the game could be attributed to someone else.
I really like DmC too. Still hoping for a sequel, or even a remake.
Me too, love the DMC reboot@@wavefile1674
You're not alone. I will go as far as saying i think "Dmc the definitive version" is the best in the series. Loved the gameplay. Loved Dante's new look. Loved the Angel and demon weapons/enemies. Loved the bosses. Loved the fact you could pick different skins. It's overall just a super solid game. I wish they continued with a part 2.
I read the developers were already busy with making the first lvl of part 2 which continues where Dmc ends. Dante beated Virgil and is now protecting the earth from demons. Then after beating the first lvl, Dante sees this huge Angel warrior at the horizon and a boss battle starts.
They wanted to focus more on the Angel warriors in part 2, which sounds awesome to me. But somehow they didn't get the "okay" to make the game. Major downer. Truly loved Dmc.
It's so sad what happened with Peak of Combat, however if it brings more people to DMC then I'm happy
I may just a huge casual normie, but i really enjoyy the hec out of DMC Mobile, still now, especially after just getting Vergil SS (Sword) n Dante SS (punch). They're so much fun n simple, fr.
@damsen978 maybe they want to play a game on the go and don't want to drop money on a Switch. Why is that so hard to believe?
@damsen978 dude its kinda obvious why someone would play a mobile version of dmc because they device limations/they dont wanna spend money on the game or they just wanna play it on the go
@@soulcyclone360just popping in to say Dmc mobile is a complete cash grab. You can have fun playing the game if you are lucky with the gacha system. Otherwise your locked out of certain content without specific characters or elemental characters.
@@Cross_network okay, that's fair. I knew it was a gacha game but I didn't know they went full late series Skylanders with it.
Man I really hope we get a dmc6 focused on vergil and dante, there’s still a goldmine worth of fulfilling potential for stories there, it’d be criminal to end their story with 5, as good and cathartic as it was.
The period leading up to DMC 5 release gotta be one of my favorites periods on the internet, the level of hype from the community was contagious
Casey Edwards is a LEGEND. Bury The Light was actually gonna be like 6 minutes long, that would have fit the brief for the job he was given, but he gave us that whole ending just out of love for it.
DMC2 is definitely best played with Trish, if you survive the grind to get her.
Great to hear from R K taking about the mobile games. I´m sure, I´ve watched every of his move compilations on POC 1.0.
Great video man. Watching stuff like this always gets me back into replaying the series myself
I like how you saved the best for last with DMC5 on your tier list.
really enjoyable to have a recent video talking about dmc! keep the great job going!
I still play DmC to this day. It's a good game, and the while purgatory concept is cool.
I got introduced to DMC cause of MVC3 too!!!
I would love to see a vid of you playing MVC3 with Dante,Trish and Vergil sometime
My team is actually Zero May Cry, which is still technically a DMC team since it has Johnny voicing Zero
@@AntonioRedgrave this the coolest team in the game imo and it's strong asf so you've hit the jackpot with it
It's funny because i mained them not knowing how strong the team actually was. I went to my first tournament and someone there introduced me to the ZMC tech, and I have not looked back since LOL
you are doing a great job with these rankings
I knew about DMC prior to the reboot... but the reboot is what introduced me. I won't defend it, but I won't abandon it.
Hey gamer, great video, liked it a lot. Found you through your Hi Fi Rush videos but I've liked DMC for a long time so decided to stick around, even if I am a fake fan who has only played V
Can't believe you didn't mention DMC5 giving Vergil the most op item ever
THE PLASTIC CHAIR
DmC is really nostalgic for me because it's one of the first games I ever played. I can definitely recognize it's not as good as the other games in the series, but it's still a good play. The combat's smooth and the music's good.
As a long time fan who has played every game, DMC5 was such a pleasant surprise. The combat is some of the best in gaming, the feeling of ending a fight with SSS rank, and the slow motion. Definitely right up there with DMC3, imo.
The running on walls thing for DMC 2 is pretty dope NGL
Its kinda crazy to see someone critique games you love so much, because everything you are saying makes sense and i kinda agree. The funny part is that the time i played those games i didn't notice any problems like you showed now, i was so hyped for DMC4 SE that when it came out i played it all again and felt like a teenager all over again playing DMC3SE
I'm kinda scared to see if DMC6 can even live up to the hype after how good DMC5 was, it would be nice to get Lady and Trish as fleshed out as the characters in 5 too, but it seems making full set of levels or having more fleshed out combat is a challenge to get both in the same game. 4 and 5 had levels split between the characters.
a game based around lady trish and lucia would be dope ngl
@@capolean2902 as long as they get a moveset overhaul we should be golden
I dont really think there will be dmc 6. Dmc 5 was made with the word "end" in the thoughts. Capcom had the elephant in the room, that being dmc 4 ending which alluded to the sequel. They wanted to tie the knots with dmc 5, which was made well, thus leaving a sweet taste, just how it should.
I figured to add a neat little fun fact about DMC3 and the special edition.
Did you know that your attacks change when you get your combo rank to SSS?
When in SSS, your attacks will appear flashier/bigger and the attacks' damage value is enhanced.
27:27 I actually dont mind that the enemies fly into the air when you activate the DT, gives you a free opening to do an air combo against stronger enemies
DmC reboot genuinely had so much potential, i really liked the combat style of dante having all weapons at the same time, platforming (kinda) felt nice too and the concept of us being in the limbo world and the world design itself looked really great too. The game itself felt really smooth and I'm just mad that a lot of that potential was wasted because of the character designs,their personality and the whole story, and most of all...vergil. just why did they make vergil so trash? it pissed me off.
Props for not completing thrashing DmC, I was expecting it to end up in F tiers cause everybody hates it, I get it but it really wasn't a bad game I even believe it would have had one or 2 sequels by now if it wasn't tied to the dmc name and was it's own Ip
It's a pretty good game even without the Definitive Edition (DE is definitely leagues above the base game but I stand by my point). Heck alot of DMC5 has DmC inspiration written all over it so to say it did nothing right like all the irrational haters claim is bogus.
Good games are allowed to have flaws that you wished didn't exist, heck, all other DMC games are examples of that.
1. Devil May Cry 5: 10/10
2. Devil May Cry 3: 10/10
3. Devil May Cry 4: 9.5/10 (best gameplay in the series tbh)
4. Devil May Cry: 9/10
5. DmC Devil May Cry: 8/10 (it’s not bad at all and the gameplay is legit great it’s just an unnecessary reboot)
6. Devil May Cry 2: 4.5/10 (I tried to get good at this game to see if my enjoyment went up but I just couldn’t like it)
as an OG fan of the series playing every single game and having watched the anime I want to state that each game has unique charms that make them epic on their own. Personally, I will always hail 3 as possibly the best in the entire series - it was just such an amazing game it really set the standard for what a DMC game should be like - a good mix of puzzle solving and badass action along with some comedy bits. I have a special love for every game in the series, but if I had to pick favorites top 3 are probably DMC 3, DmC: Devil May Cry, and DMC 1 - in that order.
Definitely accurate, DMCV is my favorite one in the series since 3 and the inclusion of Virgil as a playable character made sense and felt phenomenal. I just played through his missions and Yamato feels better to play with than any of the previous games.
"DMC4 clearly has top tier production value." I would not be so sure about that. Reportedly DMC4´s budget was very similar to what the other games got. MT Framework makes the game look gorgeous, but the developers were cutting corning wherever possible right from the start, at one point they were not even planning for Dante to be a playable character.
I know that they ran out of time but I wasn't 100% sure on what their budget situation was like. I did also hear that Dante was a last minute addition to service the Dante fans, I think it was Reuben that said it in that Power Rangers interview with Dan and Johnny
Poc definitely doesn't deserve to be in same tier with Dmc4

Great vid, dude. Well done. I can tell you put tons of love into this one.
Thanks Sages! That means a lot coming from you 👊
After all the Resident Evil remakes that have come out, I would love a DMC1 and DMC2 remake in that same vain. Like, give them the DMC5 treatment with 3rd person fighting and all that.
kinda rare to see an unbiased and honest opinion on DmC. Though I disagree that it’s good because of connection to the original series. I feel like if it was an independent project, it would’ve had much more to it, as the story was very very very limited with the canon of original series. Also the fact the outrage of changing everything really shot down any chance of continuation
I think it had more chances and more opportunities if it wasn’t a byproduct of DMC series. The story could’ve had a better flow instead of having a worse version of an existing plot with few baits and switches and deus ex machinas sprinkled just to move the plot the way they need and not the way they want. Also it wouldn’t have sparked such shitstorm and had a chance for sequel
This is the first video where I've seen some good takes about peak of combat.
Ironically DmC Devil May Cry was my first introduction to the series as it was free on game pass. then I found out it was a reboot and played Devil May Cry 5 as it was also free with game pass, and its the most fun I've ever had with gaming ever, i couldn't afford the older games but watched all the gameplay walkthroughs etc and my god its one of, if not my favorite game series by far. I really hope they remaster some of the previous games eventually as seeing young Dante etc in newer graphics would be phenomenal. Amazing tier list btw!!!
Dmc 5 was peak and became a cultural phenomenon. I mean, I was seeing Vergil plastic chair memes with bury the light in the background on anime media, it was hilarious. No one was safe from those memes.
Dmc 1 was released same year as 9/11
I’ve only just learned that
DMC4 is what got me into gaming for real, i love the dmc story and i vibe with it, DMC5 came out when i moved to the UK and it was the best birthday present i ever bough to myself. The Hype is real. But sadly yeah the DMC Devil may cry did us dirty with the Vergil sniping a pregnant woman. Now that i think back at it (im 30yo) thats so immoral. But Casey did us justice with banger soundtracks and i love all the varriety of shorts/memes that came to life. Gib Vergil more power please
DmC 3 was also my childhood video game. I played it religiously. I think it's the best DmC game and I hope it gets a remake one day.
Blud rly did a 1 hour tier list video for 16 games
They should remake DMC2
More like they should finish making it.
You wouldn't believe this, but I'm in the same camp as you regarding the DMC: Devil May Cry. I just liked the game, but it's really not the best one in the series, not even close. If we're taking only the mainline games, it's 3, 5, 4, 1, 2 for me. The reboot is just a more edgy take on the series, it has its moments.
"And I guess Gunslinger is here too." Well there goes my mouthful of drink.
I personally think dmc 4 se actually fixes a lot of issues for the game especially the content, it adds replay value because of the 3 new characters and i also heard grinding for soul orbs in the original was very tedious and they changed it in se to make it less annoying, id probably put it at A tier
Two of those three characters mostly recycle what Dante has while introducing their own problems. Vergils only real down side is that once you hit an enemy with a Summoned Sword your Darkslayer dodge will always go straight to the enemy and lock you out of your up dodge until the sword despawns, so glad that didn't come back for DMC5
I just bought the reboot a couple days ago(the original. Not the definitive edition) and I can say I'm having a blast. I will admit not being able to manually lock on was a bit strange at first but I'd say it was pretty good.
I finally realized what DmC is, it's Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. Basically a game that someone made hearing about the game and making it with best intentions but you can tell it's ok at best.
My ranking, best to least favorite.

What an awesome review dear, couldn't agree more! 👍🏻
I'mma just say, Peak of Combat is actually good. What really gets to me is the multiplayer, the actual release allows you to make a team and weave combos based on it. The only real problem I see is the gatcha lends itself to make "Limited" characters have more mechanics than the rest, getting a little p2w.
4:00 "YOU'RE powers are weak" how the hell did I not notice that until now?
You said you were introduced to Dante because of Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3?
For me, it was the other way around. I grew up with Devil May Cry 3 definitive edition. I was so inexperienced, when I got the "easy mode" I was like "OH thank God!" Lol
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom introduced me to Deadpool though. Reintroduced me to Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and Phoenix Wright. Such a cool ass fighting game.
I am pleasently surprised with how much love the DMC community has received and continues to receive. They got an anime, at least 4 solid main games, and several neat spinoffs. Even if douchebag Dante sucks, that game was fun as hell.
I gotta say. Devil May Cry 3 and Third Strike are wonderful additions to my collection of difficult but fun games. PS2 has a lot of those. Gamecube, Sega Genesis. We don't get a lot of systems like these no more, but there's always Pizza Tower and Hi Fi Rush.
Y'all definitely need to try Hi Fi Rush if you're a big DMC fan. It's amazing.
1. Dmc 5 (best music in maybe all of gaming, incredible gameplay and story, and amazing visuals and boss fights)
2. Dmc 4 (Awesome world and environments, great bosses and combat, and a very enthralling story. Biggest issue is backtracking)
3. Dmc 3 (Great world, although some of the level design and enemies can be annoying, great music and boss fights and the best story)
4. Dmc 1 (Awesome atmosphere, solid music and bosses, combat is slow and kinda clunky tho)
5. Dmc 2 (Final boss is excellent, everything else is a step down from the previous game)
6. Dmc devil may cry (gotta be the worst story in a game ever. Its seriously horrendous, Gameplay is alright tho)
Honestly, as someone who got into the series kind of.... all at once, I actually don't hate the reboot, and happily bought a second copy for my PS4 when I got it. It's not a good "Devil May Cry" game, but it's still a fun game, as well as being funny in its way. I've got the whole series (as possible) on my PS4 and I'm so stoked to have access to them all.
Great rankings man
The DT that Nero had in DMC4 was Nero’s soul. After DMC5 it shows now that Nero’s DT in dmc5 is literally his soul power taking over
DMC 5 was my first introduction into the Franchise. After that i decided to play the rest of the games. Since then ive became a big DMC fan. About DMC Reboot, i personally loved the gameplay and the story was good!
Hey man, new to the channel. Found you through your Bayonetta videos😎 I recently got back into hacknslash games after years of not playing them and i fell in love with all the Bayonetta games and DMC5 again. Admittedly, I cant be called a real dmc fan since ive only seen my cousin play dmc1 and 3 when i was a kid and Ive only played dmc5😅 Thats why I appreciate the story recap they present to you in the menu for new guys like me, but I love the game enough to attempt the platinum on ps5.
I have all the Bayonettas on switch but should I pick up the DMC collection on ps4 or buy the old games on switch, if I want more?🤔
I really appreciate the comment!
As for your question, that's entirely up to you. Normally I'd just say buy the HD Collection but DMC3 on the Switch has those extra features... in terms of saving money while getting the best of both worlds, i feel like you could get the HD collection when it's on sale and *also* buy 3SE on Switch
@@AntonioRedgrave Sounds good, I think Ill start with the HD collection on ps4 and get dmc3 se on switch when its on sale later down the road. Judging by the fanbase's reaction, It seems I should avoid dmc2 and honestly it definetely looks like the worst of them all lol The best games seem to be the odd numbered ones (1, 3, 5).
I'm hoping for DMC6 and Bayonetta 4. They both have potential to be even better and its funny that they both might have similar storylines: Nero possibly going to the Underworld to rescue Dante and Vergil just like how Bayo 4 could be Viola on a journey to earn her title, while somehow saving Luka and Bayonetta from the depths of hell. Where do you think these series will go?
I'd still play 2 at some point. It's actually fun to experience it in the context where you *know* it's not going to be as great.
In terms of where both DMC and Bayo are heading, my biggest hope is they stick with the Mission structure instead of chasing trends. Bayo 3 was originally supposed to be open world and even though i guess it *could* work, i think they should continue to innovate on what they do best
@@AntonioRedgrave Alright, ill give dmc2 a chance when i get the collection lol But Im also glad you made that statement about not chasing trends. I wish more people would agree with that. Not everything needs to be open world and theres nothing wrong with mission based or linear/semi-linear gameplay (Ex: Look at Armored Core 6). If it aint broke dont fix it. They should just continue to do what theyve always done, listen to fan feedback and stick to what makes these games so unique and badass.
Im not worried about dmc6, so what Im really hoping for in Bayo 4 is the demon mechanic returning (I ended up loving it), revamping/fixing Viola's combat and most importantly...give us remappable buttons goddamnit!😂 (Theres no excuse when dmc and most modern games let you do that🤷♂️)
Legit got DMC V for PC last year without knowing that I also bought Vergil as well and after a few months I finally found out and had the time of my life XD
I will go as far as saying i think "Dmc the definitive version" is the best in the series. Loved the gameplay. Loved Dante's new look. Loved the Angel and demon weapons/enemies. Loved the bosses. Loved the fact you could pick different skins. It's overall just a super solid game. I wish they continued with a part 2.
I read the developers were already busy with making the first lvl of part 2 which continues where Dmc ends. Dante beated Vergil and is now protecting the earth from demons. Then after beating the first lvl, Dante sees this huge Angel warrior at the horizon and a boss battle starts.
They wanted to focus more on the Angel warriors in part 2, which sounds awesome to me. But somehow they didn't get the "okay" to make the game. Major downer. Truly loved Dmc.
Oh man... the peak of combat tragedy still gets me... This mobile game actually improved Vergil's gameplay and did way more for every character.. but then the changed it 2.0.
I just finished dmc dmc about a week ago, it wouldve been liked more if it didnt have dmc in the title, also i find it funny they took vergils fedora in the remaster
Just got into the DmC series with DMC:V on PC
God, I suck ass at the game but it’s still been fun to finish the story and try to become better and better.
Everyone starts somewhere. It took me YEARS of pouring hundreds of hours into these games before things started to click. Even now, I still struggle with certain characters. Definitely focus on having fun and the skills will devlop over time!
@@AntonioRedgraveYeah after the main campaign I switched to Vergil on Normal and it’s crazy how much more fun it felt when you (get tricked) into feeling like you have skill.
Really great vid on all the different games! Having a guest Revolthell come in about the *SUPER* obscure stuff was great.
Peak of Combat being over the DmC reboot is a massive f-bomb to everyone here, considering how influential it was for DMC 5 and even DMC 4 SE.
But regarding Peak of combat, I'll give you a hint, you should download and play it right now considering it's free.
I wasn’t planning on buying the Dmc collection on switch because I thought it was going to suck. But now since you said it changed Dmc 3 in a very good way I wanna buy it now
Yes! I highly recommend it for the additions they made. Plus they're optional, so you can still play the original version if you want
I remember playing through DMC 2 on Lucia Must Die mode and Tateobesu (the underwater boss) was by far the worst boss to have to fight against. The boss can go invisible and you can’t aim it at when it does this. During the entire boss fight, it went invisible, so I had to sit there and hope that I aimed at it correctly. I don’t remember how many hours I spent trying to kill that boss.
I’m new to dmc and as a huge Bayonetta fan, dmc feels like Bayonetta lite to me
That DMC 1 Dante mocking is too accurate 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My favourite game too, first time I saw Nero and his hand and saw the dmc devil may cry 2013 first and played dmc 3 for first time
My SSS Tier:
DMC3SE for the Switch and DMC5SE
My S Tier:
DMC3SE and DMC5
My A Tier: DMC3 OG and DMC4SE
My B Tier:
DMC4 and DMC1
My C Tier:
DMC Reboot
My D Tier: DMC2
1 - great start, we don't talk about 2, 3 - best story and great gameplay, 4 - best gameplay (inertia if you know you know), reboot good gameplay but ass story, 5 best overall package
Reboots story is better than half the mainline games lol.
@@soulcyclone360 I'd agree with you if it wasn't just a carbon copy of the other games with inferior characters. They shit on the others like Dante's white hair and instead of sticking to their own thing they make Vergil randomly evil and have Dante follow the same arc from 3 even ending with the white hair they mocked. The game is great but the story is an eye roll. Kinda wish we got the chain smoker crack Dante from the OG trailers, but that's on capcom not ninja theory. 2 is really the only bad main game both story and gameplay wise to the point capcom actively avoid it as much as possible. And for making sparda a bitch in chains the reboot automatically drops a point. how they gonna do the OG so dirty like that
@@Mr-Geist-Bong let me break down my reasoning for you:
-DMC1: Has a strong start but beyond the halfway point it becomes a jumbled mess of disconnected plot points, Dante barely reacts to the big reveal that Vergil was Nelo Angelo and that he had just killed him, Trish's betrayal, supposed death, and redemption is three separate heel turns with no build up or explanation, Dantes reasoning for why he does anything for Trish (that being that he looks like his mother) is both a flawed and unexplored plot point, the ending of the game in general sounds like three different people had an idea for what should happen but couldn't agree with which choice to go with and just put them all in at the last minute because the assets and animation had already been done by that point, the final scene of them flying away in the plane has got to be one of the biggest jokes of the series since it has no build up, nothing about Dantes character up until this point implies that this is normal for him to say what he says which makes it feel forced in every sense of the word, would've been better if he had just stayed quite the whole time instead of trying to make him a super deep philosopher when nothing had built him up to that throughout the whole game.
Overall, people only give this game's story any credit because it was the first game of the series, it gave us the main character and set up how flashy said main character is but that's it, you likely remember the Alastor scene way more than anything the game tried to tell you about the story.
DMC2: anything I say about this game feels like bullying because it's a blatantly unfinished product with a team that barley knew what to do with it before Hideaki Itsuno came in at the last minute to atleast make it presentable before its release. It had a story but it just had no interest in telling it in the game, Lucia is a carbon copy of Trish but with even less motivation to do anything and Dante went from being an inconsistent but forgivable level of seriousness from the first game to having nothing to say at all in the second one. The only thing DMC2 has going for it is Dantes drip and that it had some cool ideas for Dantes moves that would be explored better in the following games.
DMC3: is the best story of the series hands down, but there is one issue that no one really brings up. People love to say that DmC is bad for stuff just happening without much build up and that Dantes turn to being a good guy just sort of happens or that Vergils whole monologue for why he'll fight Dante should have had more build up, but DMC3 Dante has that exact same problem, he goes from an goofy, lone wolf, punk to a hero that fights for humanity because it's the right thing to do at the very end of the game with next to no build up, it's only implied at the end of the game that he had undergone any growth from the start at all. We don't get any internal monologue, he doesn't say anything to Lady or Vergil about why he's fighting outside of his sibling rivalry, he rejected the idea of having a father right up until his boss fight with Lady where he credits her for his change of heart, something that was barely eluded to before that point and definitely never verbalised by Dante himself who had spent the entire game fighting for the sake of getting even with Vergil. It's a good game with an amazing story but Dantes heel turn to a hero is even less built up to than DmC Vergils heel turn into a villain since we at least got some hints as to how he really thought about humans earlier in the game.
DMC4: is way to spread out and underdeveloped story wise that it give DMC2 a run for its money with how much it doesn't seem to care about much of anything. If you played the game and watched the cut-scenes you likely know what I'm talking about.
DMC5: has one of the most cohesive stories of the franchise with only a few hiccups, the game expects us to think that the mystery behind V's existence is a an actual mystery beyond the forth mission and Nero's power of friendship moment at the end of the game could have been leagues better than what it was but was still a fun moment and was a great spectacle to cap off the game.
Of all five mainline games only two have a good story, that's over half the games of the og franchise which is accurate to my first comment.
And I want to mention that I'm not including any of the Mangas or graphic novels in the discussion because I specified the story of the "games" in the previous comment. A games story shouldn't need required reading from an outside source to be cohesive.
@@Mr-Geist-Bong got nothing to say to that?
DMC4SE is actually why we have DMC5. It was simply a little nod to the fanbase after DmC released but many fans took that as "They're going back to old Devil May Cry" which made it the most successful DMC game. Which then made Capcom realize how much they fucked up rebooting something that only needed few tweaks. Also about the "Lack of enemies" that's just straight up a bad critic and a huge lack of understanding about action games as a whole. DmC technically has less enemies but no one complains there. Really telling how people parrot bad opinions simply because everyone else says it. The enemies in 4 were fantastic callbacks to older DMCs.
DMC 3 SE is the goat and should get a remaster
I'm not opposed to a remake of DMC3, but if I had to choose I'd rather have a new installment first, a spin off with Lady & Trish, and if they started remakes I would want them to start with DMC1 and DMC2.
@@AntonioRedgrave agreed, Dmc3 is good as it is
DMC Devil May Cry is the only game where you could beat Hell and Hell mod without being those 0.01 perfect frame godlike stylish player. At the start i was like what the hell is this, but as you said it, every button had some point and the only DMC game where i felt comfortable playing it on harder difficulty
Boss fights in DmC are exquisite and very well designed. The soundtrack rocks too. Really enjoyed DmC.
Same. Game got way too much hate, but imo it still holds up today.
I might even say the soundtrack is better than 5.
Always got the feeling that Virgil in the reboot was more like how people wanted him to be. You know nicer and wanting to be Dante's brother loves him over humanity and the girl that he supposed to be mentoring Kat I think her name is. I mean it's been a while but I like the personal feeling of them going home relating to their mother and trying to figure out what happened. I like the painting and how it helps them relate and Virgil had admitted that he had found his power there and hope that Dante could too that's why we could focus more on Dante's reaction to the estate.. but I would have liked to have a playthroughs where vrgil went there too kind of annoys me. I played the reboot first before anything else plus I did not know that the OG game was based on resident evil. So yeah I'm not adverse to liking the OG over most of the others but I got to say I got a special place for the reboot❤🎉
re4 og dmc3 godhand capcom's best
+ DmC gameplay was REVOLUTIONARY
Great video.
Man, it cant be said enough but GOD BLESS Casey!
Okay... we all know DMC 3 is god tier and DMC 5 is god tier.. But can we just appreciate DMC reboot for a min. Listen, I get it. "That aint my Dante" and the story was pretty cringe BUT the gameplay and level design was fucking awesome. If you take out its identity as a reboot and make it some spin off, multi-universal type, stand alone game? It would've be pretty fucking amazing. Like imagine if reboot Dante actually canonically NOT our Dante and somehow got into the main universe to help out the main cast.
dmc 3, 4 and 5 are the pinacle of action games imo. Everything from gameplay to the music is perfect.
I have the mobile version of DMC4 on my modern iPad, I bought the game a long time ago and all I did was go to my purchases and I was able to download it with no problem
Fun fact: The north American version of DMC1 is the hardest version
1. The hat in DmC:DMC is actually a Trillby, that all the "M'Lady" guys use. Fedoras have wider brims and are legit cool noir-lookin' hats. Like, remember Alucard from Hellsing manga/anime? That is Fedora, but with a flat top/cap.
2. Putting DMC2 below the shitty remake?! Blasphemy sir. Sincerely, bollocks. DMC 2 has potential, and even a mod that adds combos from DMC1 back. All remake has is a child-friendly gameplay skill ceiling.
Someone hasn't played DmC
@@soulcyclone360 kid, nice bait.
But I did play that crap, cuz I lost a bet. So shut it and shove it right where that game belongs - where the sun doesn't shine.
I'm nicely surprised you didn't put DmC: Devil May Cry as "Into the void". It is a solid game, and if it wasn't for the existence of the other games, everyone would've loved it. People are just mad you don't get long-white-hair-cool-as-fuck Dante.
If there's any improvement on devil may cry 5 SE and there's a 6, even if i have to wait 10 years. My head will literally explode and im sure any person that loves this series as much head will xplode also😂😭
