Another big difference is that ACG will still be around and better than ever in the next 2-3 years. IGN (in it's current state) will be gone. I used to like IGN at one time too.
Really enjoying their latest titles. They seem to be learning how to grasp the western market but not so much that it detracts from their own quirky design. I love Japanese games but they were rather lacking last gen. It seems to be turning around and Capcom is at the head.
TheDeecWun Kush True. MHW has been a huge series in Japan for a long time, and unless you had a Wii or DS, this was really most peoples first MH experience, and it was a smashing success. I like the quirks of Japanese entertainment also. With the popularity of the Yakuza series and some others, I think the days of Japanese devs having to do two versions (East & West) are mostly over. Twenty years ago they readily admitted to dumbing down certain games for a Western audience, and localizations were often kind of bad.
Dragons Dogma had some unique ideas, like big monsters to climb on, and borrowing your characters, but the fact that it wasnt voice acted make the story borring for me..:(

@@rotoninja Its not a good game. It's boring and the design for combat and bosses are horrible. There's already a map of how to make a good hack and slash dmc game already and they screwed it up. Your guns are ridiculously overpowered and combat feels slow and sluggish. There is nice animation style and character design is great but that's it. The aesthetics fade away after just 5 minutes.
Thanks for the detailed review as always! I gotta say, the lighting in the RE Engine is just phenomenal! It was amazing in RE 7 & 2 remake and it’s still blowing my mind here!
Not to mention that DmC Dante loves to throw f bombs whenever he tries to sound cool about it. DMC Dante does not and he literally did Shakespearean play stand off against Angus in DMC4, that's how cool this Dante is not the tryhard edgelord.
@@jamesvu5504 I thought he said "f bombs" because he was crass due to how he grew up and his circumstances in his life, like constantly being attacked by demons and thought of as crazy by all of humanity because they couldn't see what he was seeing. He lives poorly as a self-centered apathetic hedonist who grows into a better person. He's usually expressing anger or insult, and I thought the swearing was (ironically enough) appropriate for the situations and the character, like getting into an insult match with the Succubus demon or the bouncer. I don't know about DMC4's characters or story; haven't played it yet. It's been years since I played DMC3 or DMC1, so I'd need to replay any of those games to make narrative judgments on the plot or the characters.
you could've talked about how V played, he's already been shown off in official videos. and also, DMC4 also had the stupid red orb microtransactions. either way, can't wait to pick up this game tomorrow night.
I absolutely love DMC. Dante is one of my favorite video game characters of all times. I'm definitely picking this up tomorrow thank you for this review
Glad you mentioned the controls, after picking up the originals and 4 it's jarring being used to the modern school of actions games where it's all about face button presses etc, whereas DMC has always operated similar to a fighting game like Street Fighter, with the implementation of the analogue stick to alter moves and stuff. It's definitely not one the mash through and expect to still look good, I recommend if this is anyone's first DMC TRY THE DEMO BEFORE YOU BUY - see if you're feeling the controls, they were a surprise to me.
One of the best features in this game is allowing you to adjust the camera distance. Where I had a problem, and I think few people are talking about, is the camera in God of War. The combat got really good after a few unlocks, but the camera angle (close up, basically over shoulder), was designed better for a TPS game rather than an action game. This option jumped DMC5 in my opinion, and more developers should follow.
I just got the game and I really can’t warm up to it I really liked the DMC Remake that came out a few years ago so i thought that I would love this but I find the fighting system pretty boring & I’m getting really annoyed by all the the small Animation and loading screens that interrupt the Flow of the Game it just feels really forced and annoying. I really wish I could enjoy this game and I really hope that it will get better/ I hope that I will start liking it more
This is good and I'm definitely picking it up after the long wait but developers need to just pull a "RE2" and FULLY remaster old games. There's a TON of old games that would sell like hot cakes properly remastered
definitely the most concise reviews on youtube, i particularly like the attention to audio. if you could give the info for the hardware that you are using for audio that would be amazing
Acg, don't ever let popularity ruin you man you make the best reviews hands down. Very articulate, great analogies and enjoyable to listen to. I just hope your popularity doesn't make you "sell out" so to speak.
It's crazy to me that I have been sub'd to you for a little over a year and you still have under 1m subs. There are seemly endless douche nozels reviewers with so much hate and vitriol out there that have so many folks that follow them. And then there is you - funny, informative as hell, prolific as s*it with your material, and raising both pro's and con's with a logical approach to how to 'judge' games. GG Karak...GG
fantastic review. however this trend of graphical parity between all platforms is really starting to get kinda in the way ... it has been a letdown since Watch Dogs / Division 1 and I'd like devs to actually take advantage of different hardwares more
This game is so damn optimized for my laptop I just left it at default settings because of pure laziness, and the graphics still blew me away. The default is only at about the High setting.
Great review, my man. Thanks for confirming. To be honest, we all have a rule about not pre-purchasing games that we sometimes break, and this is one I broke the rule on.

This is the review everyone been waiting for, the ONLY legit man who will say buy then you will instantly buy it and will not regret any second of it and etc, the most important game of 2019 for me, thank you as always for the detailed review ACG.
I dont think after this anyone is complaining anymore that they didnt get sequel for Ninja Theory's DMC reboot....or atleast I would say they dont have any right to, considering how good DMC 5 apparently is.
@@makdrumz it was a good game, amazing graphics and levels as well as the best combat in the series (besides dmc5 but I gotta wait till Friday) but complete shitty story and characters. Dante felt forced
I'd really like a little bit of more information about how the microtransactions are implemented, because as far as the DMC series goes, even with DMC4SE (which had microtransactions), they always felt like literal non-issues and you kinda touched on that at some point in the video. In every DMC game, you can easily buy everything you want if you put on the time to learn the game. Is it even fair to suggest that microtransactions in this game are in any way comparable to something like EA or Activision?
From what Yong and Jim have said, they're largely only there for show. You get enough red orbs to progress at a good pace, and the lack of orbs only becomes a problem if you're constantly reviving instead of going back to the last checkpoint. However, yellow orbs allow you to do the same thing, so you'd have to run out of those first (a.k.a. you'd have to REALLY suck at the game and NOT be okay with restarting from a checkpoint, ever). However, I do think it's fair to compare the MTX here to others simply because they exist within a premium priced game. Fee2Pay is something that is anti-consumer, no matter if the game it's attached to is kickass or not, or the extent of its intrusion into the game. Jim has already disqualified the game from winning any of his awards this year for this reason, and he said it was a shame since it's the best game he's played so far this year hands down.
They aren't even worth mentioning and are no worse than in DMC4SE, there basicly there for people like me who are gonna want to skip straight to trying to pull off long flash combined with the whole skill set at my disposal.
@@TheKrossRoads I really disagree with Jim for excluding the game from any awards over something as petty as a harmless microtransaction that pretty much only exists so that hardcore players can skip straight to pulling off flashy insane combos.
I think that buying all the skills right from the get go is a terrible decision, especially for new players. It's better to unlock and learn all the skills one by one and know how to properly utilize them. Rather then just having a bulk of skills you don't know how to use and might as well not have at all.
Capcom has had so much goodwill lately. Then they decide to put in what looks to be a pretty pointless micro-transaction system. I try to be a glass half full kind of guy. So, I'll just assume that the executives at Capcom pushed for micro-transactions. And, the devs humored them with what's in the final product.
LONG POST WITH A VERY VALID CRITICISM. My biggest criticism with this game not mentioned in the review is that switching between the 3 demon hunters are forced upon you. You might have started playing 3 mission with nero and really getting the hang of him and for the next two mission you are forced into V and have to adjust to a new playstyle while not even mastering the previous one........ and later Dante is thrown into the mix aswell. This makes the game alot more fragmented and makes it harder for players to improve with the character when trying to learn them all at once. Especially in a game with the deepest combat system in the history of 3d actiongames. Even tho having 3 people doing their own mission might give the main story more variation it is hampered in that way that your favourite character gets an alot shorter game. All the missions should have had choosable characters at the start instead, atleast be available as an option on the second playthrough. That way it doesnt matter if the cutscenes dont match with ur selected character cuz you will skip them on multiple playthroughs anyway. Even tho DMC5 is not a story heavy game it seems story was prioritized over gameplay at least in this aspect.
I would not say that story is more prioritized since its a much more simple story to grasp compared to previous games but I do sorta agree to an extend on the characters thing. I'm personally more used to playing Nero and Dante so I had no problem switching between them but it was a huge pace killer when they made you switch to V for 3 missions in a row and was just not fun for me. would have been great if they to more advantage into the choosing which character path you wanted to play as like in some missions
I fully agree on this one. Maybe the developers are aiming for the game to have really high replay value. That's why they kinda don't let you master each character right away. And the game is actually designed to play it again from the top once you finish it for the first time.
Having microtransactions in DMC5 doesnt even make it a con as it neutralizes that with Dr Faust hat. As the weapon allows you go farm 500k orbs in one mission if u go to M13 usign dante.

Wow paywalls from hell are taking over everything. Remember when pay walls were only in WOW? Pepridge Farm remembers. Imo the only exception is Y2K NBA Playgrounds 2, because you can pay for everything with only one mt of $20, however is not necessary
for 2k that’s maybe for my career, but in myteam if you don’t fork over your $$$ you get bullied by dudes who have amazing teams because they’ve spent so much money
Capcom has been on a roll lately! It's nice to see them making top quality games again. They've got most of their franchises completely back on track. It's also a great decision that they didn't stick with their reboot idea, Devil May Cry's original universe is better than the reboot's and they were quick to see it.

They aren't even worth mentioning and are no worse than in DMC4SE, there basicly there for people like me who are gonna want to skip straight to trying to pull off long flash combined with the whole skill set at my disposal.
@@TheKrossRoads I really disagree with Jim for excluding the game from any awards over something as petty as a harmless microtransaction that pretty much only exists so that hardcore players can skip straight to pulling off flashy insane combos.
I think that buying all the skills right from the get go is a terrible decision, especially for new players. It's better to unlock and learn all the skills one by one and know how to properly utilize them. Rather then just having a bulk of skills you don't know how to use and might as well not have at all.
Woah. I've not even gotten the game but this review has me excited without even spoiling it. 2 thumbs up.
So Nero’s got his devil trigger back 16:00
11:11 was I the only one who busted out laughing at that line? 😂
shizuwolf It was hilarious! 🤣
DMC is back! Thanks Karak
you bet stevebob
DMC is back. DmC is the reboot
@@jaquan541 You're right. I hope DmC doesn't come back personally.
@@stevebob240 I agree
every day i check my youtube subs to see if you have a new review up, even if it is for a game i do not plan on playing at all.
Capcom has had so much goodwill lately. Then they decide to put in what looks to be a pretty pointless micro-transaction system.
I try to be a glass half full kind of guy. So, I'll just assume that the executives at Capcom pushed for micro-transactions. And, the devs humored them with what's in the final product.
The lead dev stated the mtx were for the guys who want to go full out from the start, essentially combo montage ppl
The review, like most of the other ones I watched, was really well done (again). Just wanted to put it out there.
My thanks
I'm really digging these fps graphs man! It's like a digital foundry video!
your description of the enemies legitly made me laugh. thanks for that my man.
Glad you dug it
LONG POST WITH A VERY VALID CRITICISM.
My biggest criticism with this game not mentioned in the review is that switching between the 3 demon hunters are forced upon you. You might have started playing 3 mission with nero and really getting the hang of him and for the next two mission you are forced into V and have to adjust to a new playstyle while not even mastering the previous one........ and later Dante is thrown into the mix aswell.
This makes the game alot more fragmented and makes it harder for players to improve with the character when trying to learn them all at once.
Especially in a game with the deepest combat system in the history of 3d actiongames.
Even tho having 3 people doing their own mission might give the main story more variation it is hampered in that way that your favourite character gets an alot shorter game.
All the missions should have had choosable characters at the start instead, atleast be available as an option on the second playthrough. That way it doesnt matter if the cutscenes dont match with ur selected character cuz you will skip them on multiple playthroughs anyway.
Even tho DMC5 is not a story heavy game it seems story was prioritized over gameplay at least in this aspect.
I would not say that story is more prioritized since its a much more simple story to grasp compared to previous games but I do sorta agree to an extend on the characters thing. I'm personally more used to playing Nero and Dante so I had no problem switching between them but it was a huge pace killer when they made you switch to V for 3 missions in a row and was just not fun for me. would have been great if they to more advantage into the choosing which character path you wanted to play as like in some missions
I fully agree on this one. Maybe the developers are aiming for the game to have really high replay value. That's why they kinda don't let you master each character right away. And the game is actually designed to play it again from the top once you finish it for the first time.
ACG is pretty much the only gamer review I trust.
While I appreciate that. There are many reviewers out there giving their honest opinons on stuff. Thanks for sure though!
A good villain voice like Bane from Dark Knight Rises right?
Having microtransactions in DMC5 doesnt even make it a con as it neutralizes that with Dr Faust hat. As the weapon allows you go farm 500k orbs in one mission if u go to M13 usign dante.
I was watching a video on Metro Exodus. When someone mentioned your name. Thank God I found this channel. I always hated these mainstream game reviews from Paid sites like IGN who give positive reviews to every game.
Thanks Akash
Come on devs give this dude pc codes prior to release. Love his reviews.
Never have I clicked a video so fast.
I think you have clicked on another video faster
Right, I was looking for a review for this game and this was the first thing that came up lol

Yess. It's here ...and I'm super pumped . Thanks for the re view mate
sure thank you
Wow paywalls from hell are taking over everything. Remember when pay walls were only in WOW? Pepridge Farm remembers. Imo the only exception is Y2K NBA Playgrounds 2, because you can pay for everything with only one mt of $20, however is not necessary
for 2k that’s maybe for my career, but in myteam if you don’t fork over your $$$ you get bullied by dudes who have amazing teams because they’ve spent so much money
Capcom has been on a roll lately! It's nice to see them making top quality games again. They've got most of their franchises completely back on track. It's also a great decision that they didn't stick with their reboot idea, Devil May Cry's original universe is better than the reboot's and they were quick to see it.
I played dmc I didn't really like it but this looks so sick should I try it
Best game reviews on TH-cam. Much love ACG.
Your reviews are SAVAGEEE
thanks Jesse
I think they should remake DMC 3 using the new engine. God that game is masterfully crafted... I still think it's the series' peak even with 5 out
Thing is that 3's combat engine is already insane as it is and even beats out 5's in some areas, and I don't want it to be revamped.
Plz do trials rising review.... Plz.. I love trials series..
And rip Arthur...in our hearts...
OK I just discovered this Chanel and it's unbelievable just cant explain how great it is
