On the microtransactions I wouldn't hold them against the game at all. They feel so completely tacked on without any love (considering the game provides both resources) that pointing to them and going "hey look at this single fleck of dirt on this shiny spotless window" hurts people's opinions more than it should. It really really feels like something that was added because the game was done and the big company was like "Fufufu Add this in so scrubs can fatten our pockets" and the devs sighed shrugged and put it in because hey the games done might as well slide on this meaningless thing that nobody ever has to look at unless they seek it out.
@@ChevelleRocks88 tbf DMC5 is a much smaller scale linear game which is why it’s so mechanically and visually refined. Cyberpunk really needed way more time in the oven.
@@SaberRexZealot I think it speaks to a much misunderstood issue tho. DMC5 isnt what I call small scale but it is smaller than say Cyberpunk and all these other "open world" titles that love to show themselves off. I have way more fun playing games like DMC 5, where the game is smaller and more refined, has more to do, less walking in between, and is more structurally sound than these grossly overbudgeted hype train games that we see getting released in droves. AC Valhalla, Cyberpunk, Fallout, FF15, even games I love like Breath of the Wild, dont grab me like solid titles like this. I think open world has focused too much on the quantity of land you can run around rather than the quality of what you can do inside of it, as well as how often you'll be doing it. Open World has told me one thing, and its that I can expect a lot more dead air in between bits of gameplay that likely wont live up what smaller scale games can deliver. A good example of a open world game that gives you a lot in it, while restraining itself on how far you can travel, is God of War PS4. That's the kind of open world game I want at the very most.
Yet the games acted like none of these seemingly uber important plot threads mattered till the last possible moment in the fifth entry of the franchise with absolutely no build up outside of a farted out line of dialogue here and there
Capcom: "we are gonna implement microtransactions so people will have to pay real money in exchange for red orbs, and there is nothing you can do about it" Itsuno: "ok" *proceeds to include a weapon in the game you can exploit in one level to get 100.000 per minute*
@@genshinsage They put "special taunts" for 9.000.000 red orbs, of course, expecting people to pay with real money for them...I got those orbs in less than an hour on mission 13. It was a literal middle finger from Itsuno to the suits at Capcom.
Devil May Cry: Nice game Devil May Cry 2: Awful Devil May Cry 3: Fanchise Savior Devil May Cry 4: Nice Game DmC: Awful Devil May Cry 5: Franchise Savior Devil May Cry 6 confirmed to be a Nice Game
@Johnny Flannigan It's not that it's a bad game, it's that it's a bad Devil May Cry game. It didn't really fit in the series well, the protagonist wasn't the hunter we all loved...people didn't like that. If it hadn't been introduced as a part of this series, it very probably wouldn't get such hate.
@Johnny Flannigan its great. but that thing carry DMC tittle. of course fans will compare it to original (reboot curse). which is its not enogh to meet fans expectation. for me i enjoy the reboot, and i love it if its come with different tittle. the upside down world concept is cool for me and gameplay not the worst. but realize the fact its carry dmc tittle i hate it.
@@philatio1744 From what I've seen, it was evidently made without Itsuno's input, so Dante came out kinda flat and the battle system wasn't even close to par with its predecessor or successors. The enemies just kinda...stand there, and the beautiful combos we've come to expect don't happen. It's not even like practicing moves in the Void in DMC5. I did hear though that it had a good story, and personally, I would like to try it. (I want to play all the core series, but only have access to 4 and 5)
And the most important thing that Devil May Cry 5 confirmed after a long time: All this time we called "uncle" Dante, he was actually an uncle this whole time.
@@alastor8091 it's not like i didn't know, i just refused to believe it because it seemed so forced. But DMC5 actually made it work, i just wish who Nero's mother is because goddamn the woman is so lucky.
For me it's the opposite, it completely makes DMC4 unplayable. Because now we have DMC4 level gameplay but with an enemy roster and level design that isn't almost as bad as DMC2's
That "FUCK YOU" is the greatest QTE moment in gaming. It felt like the whole weight of the game was focused and directed through that one little clip and kicked off the last 20 minutes in style
*_DMCV is announced_* Guess I get to see it with my own eyes, if it really is you *_DMCV releases and is one of the best action games to come out in a long time_* Jackpot.
I dunno I feel like with Trickster you can fuck up the Fury's pretty easily and it just turns into a DBZ episode of two warriors doing instant transmission on repeat
TH-camUser I have found 2 effective to to stun him while he’s attacking you. 1. Spam the Barlog jab when he disappears it will hit him when he attacks you. 2. Equip the Ceburus nunchucks and use the move which lets you surround you in a ball of ice. It’s acts like a shield against his attacks. Yeah but the trickster one is awesome as well.
Nah, Nero already knew what he had to do but was wavering because the whole situation was so crazy and intimidating. He's never had a family, how does he cope with this? Its scary to him, emotionally if not physically. Kyrie is the one constant he's had, his love and presumably best friend. He just needed to hear her voice and her encouragement, and she knew that too. As she herself says "you always know what is right".
@@sharavy6851 but it's not odd phrasing. It's exactly what Nero needed to hear. She didn't say "figure it out yourself dawg, I don't fucking know about you're problems" she said "Have faith in yourself, and do what you KNOW is the right thing to do." Nero has issues with confidence, especially in this game where he's got that dead weight complex.
@@nickelakon5369 I completly understand. I just thought the line was pretty funny when you take it at face value, that's it Also I'll delete my previous comment cuz the formating's awful and I'm too lazy to fix it..
Being totally honest here, I discovered this by myself, thanks to playing DMC4: you can grab Vergil during his flying charge attack with Nero's Devil Bringer. And no joke: I ended that last boss fight with it. Power slamming Vergil into the ground to end the fight was one of the great Fuck Yeah moments I've ever experienced in a game.
I prefer Gilgamesh, Balrog feels too weird with it's hitboxes. Friction (divekick) doesn't jc that smoothly unless you have ignition. to have ignition you have to do a stupid dance or punch the enemy 10 times. It's repetitive and limiting it makes it so you always have this guaranteed downtime of switching modes no matter what and you can only attack while switching modes in two ways. It's actually kinda awful tbh... King Cerberus is a lot better. the Neo Balrog mod improves it a lot though
The idea of ignition and balrog modes kinda ok with but it's execution is soooo limiting and antithetical to DMC. You don't feel like you have freedom to switch between modes it feels like the modes are limiting you from having the freedom you should have... if that makes sense, and ignition is just kind of baffling how they implemented it. The mod that simply makes more of Balrog's moves build up ignition so you don't have to keep doing the same things over and over if you don't want just feels like such a no brainer
One thing I loved in DMC5 is how Nero, just like Vergil, also seeks power throughout the entire game. Unlike Vergil though, he seeks it for virtuous causes and actually attains the power he seeks.
@@Ithenos oh it was. Ya got Dante wanting to stop his brother...again....and you have lil devil hunter Nero all in his feelings. Then...cause he doesn't want people to die...he unlockes his devil trigger.....he didn't grow, he just fought less powerful demons and then screams and it happens.....DMC4 did his growth better.
Daniel Alvarez “DMC 4 did his growth better”......I mean at that point why bother arguing with him if his only pieces of logic boil down to dumbing down DMC 5’s story.
It's just an amazing feeling to have DMCV deliver where KH3 and MGSV were promising. Itsuno came into the field, called his home run outta the park and gave the people what they wanted. Definitely a top 5 game experience. Glad it could deliver for others what it had for me.
It annoys me when people say we didn't like games because the wait and hype was too long, DMC5 proves that even if we have 10 years worth of hype, game developers can still make games that satisfy.
Tbf, kh3 is pretty good now. They fixed issues with the combat abd gave the hardcore fans the fights they wanted. Mgsv would probably be the only one that kinda failed but id say thats more konamis fault with some convulated storytelling from kojima
@@Garry_Combine oh i dont disagree. Mgs4 was just an interactive movie to appeal to fans. That said, it doesnt take away from the first 3 games and 5 actually was decent for what it had. Its rlly only the cliffhanger at the end i personally dont like
@@MisterPudd oh, don't get me wrong, I enjoy 4 and 5, but I just don't like Kojima and Death Stranding was what did it for me. I'm pretty sure the first 3 games had a second writer, which probably helped to alleviate Kojima's negative attributes, but again, I still enjoy 4, PW and 5. But I was also a fan of Portable Ops, which to be honest, at least narrative wise, I think is a better sequel to MGS3 whilst Peace Walker is just more fun to play on the go. But then again, Hideo was Producer, not director. Either way, good series with problems here and there but at least MGS ain't Death Stranding, lol.
@@SamsarasArt uhh, in terms of gameplay? DMC 5 is sublime. In terms of story? It doesn't hold a candle to DMC 3, but it's serviceable. Your point still stands though, this should have at least been a contender for 2019 GOTY.
@@heraldofoptimusprime1624 One of the "best action game" ever and I can agree with you. Although I love DMC so much, DMC5 has many flaws. We can love something although it's not flawless.
I relate so much to the point about forming your own "combat story" in DMC5. I can recall a handful of special moments I pulled off in my playthrough that just made me grin from ear to ear and pump my fist in celebration. Truly a special game. I don't know how they'll ever top it if they decide to make DMC6.
We did it folks, all the memes, all the rumors, all the combo videos, and all the judgement nuts have been made for this moment. The perfect action video game has been made and it is here to stay.
Truly Dmc5 is one of the best games ever made especially in recent years. This one goes out to all the devils that didn’t get to see DMC5 come out, Even though you think you missed the party, this bash was for all of us.
The first time I played dmc3 I was 15 years old, and it changed me. Dante inspired me, this game marked my childhood and helped forge my personality, really. And now, playing dmc5, as an adult, with a full time job, responsibilities, and also seeing Dante as an old man, I mean... It all just comes full circle. It's beautiful. Thank you for this video , it sums it all beautifully ;)
Boy, I was looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint. Easily the best DMC5 review I've ever seen. You went in depth with everything that makes this game great and a total love letter to the entire franchise. Awesome job!
DMC5 is the perfect send off for the series with how every loose end in the series is neatly tied but with enough of an opened ending for the series to maybe move into the future, as well as a love letter to the fans from Itsuno. All the callbacks and references to pretty much every game in the series(barring that misguided reboot) had me grinning from ear to ear the whole way through the game. I even got choked up a little bit at the end. When that BIG REVEAL, that all the fans knew but the series and characters FINALLY admit, happened and how it happen... well let’s just say I was floored. It was such perfect timing in the story, and really made those last 3 missions matter just that much more to me. And let’s not forget that combat! Holy shit man!! There has never been an action game, hell even just game in general, that has as much depth and allows you look as cool as in DMC5’s combat. It takes EVERYTHING in the series’s past and cranks it all up to 12! FUCK 11! It skips that pussy shit and punches past to 12. It’s a near perfect game. Now I only say near perfect rather than perfect because of two things. One is that you can’t play as a certain character(my favorite character btw), that part bummers me out but I’ve heard there’s DLC on the way so fingers crossed. The second one is the battle themes. They’re good songs don’t get me wrong but they just aren’t on the level of DMC3(even 4), as I would have liked them to be. “Taste the Blood,” Dante’s battle theme from DMC3 is still the definitive battle theme of the series for me personally, and I really missed that heavy metal music during battles. Other than those two things DMC5 is the definitive DMC game by far.
EXACTY!!! While I personally love the battle themes, I agree with you on everything else. DMC5 is by far the best DMC in my eyes. Now if only we can get some Vergil DLC...
ya I love how every good DMC game raises the bar for the whole genera so much, unfortunately, the character you are talking about does not appear to be getting DLC but there are some good looking fan mods for that character and while I agree with you about subhuman and crimson cloud I have to say that devil trigger, in my opinion, is one of the best tracks to come out of this franchise with the anime op track but I can see where you are coming from
If that fav character of yours is Vergil, well it looks like its your lucky day lmao. And not only that, his Battle theme is a fucking banger. Bury the Light IMO is one of the better battle themes in the entire franchise and represents Vergil's character arc so goddamn well.
I like how even though the game has only 20 missions like previous games, the level of detail in the gameplay truly shows the level of focus and passion behind this beast of a game.
How many days have you spent playing this game in non-stop 15 hours+ straight, all-nighters mode? Me: Yes. Anyone could beat the main story in less than a day but it's so replayable.
Gaming Brit has produced easily the best review of this game without a doubt. Unlike all these game journalists who rushed out a review without even learning the game's mechanics properly.
This is what gaming "journalism" is lacking, content that looks deeper into these games mechanically, systemically and understanding its place in modern culture. Compared other mediums like literature, film and music etc. games have yet to reach that level of discussion by seemingly professional publications. Read any professional movie review/analysis compared to an IGN or gamespot review and it's clear which medium is more respected at least as a profession, somewhat gratifying to see channels on youtube produce more insightful editorials and reviews than some of these outlets.
Watching DMC5's real time cutscenes play in 144FPS flawlessly with no sync issues or stuttering is genuinely the most "next gen" thing I ever witnessed to this day.
i think my favourite part of this video, was when the channel came full circle after mentioning the Nightmare Before Christmas for the playstation 2 computer entertainment system™
Oh yeah 1 and 2 are great, Brit's referring to the 4 games released in the time frame between DMC4 and 5, those being all 3 made by Bethesda and the actually good one.
@@Diamond1234548 ok, i assume the good one is new vegas which i love it's my favorite fallout. though i still think 3 is fine, but that because it was the first one i played.
DmC:DMC had no reason to exist but to be another product of Inafune's dumb pushes to westernize Capcom's games. If it wasn't DmC:DMC's name, it would have been forgotten, just like the two games Ninja Theory did before it, one of which DmC:DMC plays extremely similar to right down to the triggers switching attack modes.
This is probably the most satisfying review I have ever seen. So happy for you, man. I'll watch this again when I play and finish all 5, and... I just might cry myself.
Basically like every other games journalists. Shower DMC5 with unanimous praise, while passive aggressively bagging on the game for not being DmC 2. It's annoying, I wish those DmC fans (including games journalists who disliked DMC franchise) be thanos-snapped out of existence.
I've never played a DMC game, but after watching you for years and seeing all your wishes come to fruition with this game I can say it made me a little emotional. Thanks, Charlie
YES, and also let me restart from checkpoint without seeing "THE JUDGEMENT DRAWS NEAR" or something. It's just redundant and especially annoying when playing in higher difficulties.
Let me switch Breaker loadouts in the void without having to back out, select Nero, loading screen, select customize, loading screen, pick loadout, loading screen, start, loading scren before I can actually get back to the lone enemy I was practicing on.
A few of the cool aspects were actually cribbed from DmC, the reboot, which is pretty weird to think about. But Itsuno apparently likes it, or aspects of it. So it's interesting to see the dev take some positive elements from a largely hated title. But then, it ain't the first time that's happened. Rebellion and Bloody Palace both made their debuts in Devil May Cry 2, after all... DMC5 is absolutely my favorite in the series. I just hope the rumored DLC content turns out to be true--Ladies' Night for Trish and Lady, and fully-playable Vergil. That would just make my fucking decade.
@laz kar minus the hamfisted words trying to shit talk to you cuz thats beyond tacky. honestly felt like Dino's design works more for Nero and low and behold Nero takes over Dino's style and it works
@@sulthanarya3281 Itsuno helped the development *later on,* and at this point it's impossible to say whether or not the game would have been a superior narrative product had it not changed course mid-development. That said, I have heard the gameplay was a mess before Itsuno stepped in. So it would be more "they didn't get it right, and Itsuno course-corrected." Which is also apparent the case for DMC2, to an extent, although it seems that wasn't enough to save it.
Not sure if I’m in the minority or in the majority, but as this being my fist DMC game, I almost never use the red/gold orbs to revive myself and just restarted the nearest checkpoint. If I did use them, I always found myself unsatisfied by end of the mission because I always thought “Man I could’ve done better”.
That comment would hold more weight with the difficulty played listed. I never died once beating it on Human and new game plus threw me right up to Son of Sparta past Devil Hunter. 5 missions in and I’ve had to use two gold orbs out of the 40 o collected blasting through on easy mode. Point is the game showed me why those were even a thing in the game when it decided to skip me up a difficulty and I noticed bosses easily can be paywalls on “expert” but everything is a joke on easy.
This is the right mentality to play a DMC game. Back in the day, the old games had consumable items. HOWEVER, it was heavily discouraged to use due to rank penalty aka less resources reward->taking longer time to upgrade.
Your not wrong about wanting to start a new chapter for this channel, but with all the years you've covering action games and talking about DMC, you got your own legacy to live up to and exceed now. Just remember to throw in a DMC reference at the end of your video's every now and again for old times sake....provided we do go like 2 or 3 video's without one by some strange unforeseen misfortune.
Just saying, Nier Automata was barren for artistic reasons, and even then it still looks good. Same goes for Bayonetta 1 and 2. They don't look bad at all. But, you're right. DMC 5 looks unbelievably good.
It was barren for artistic reasons but also had real low quality textures and some PS3 unreal looking stuff. That game wasnt a huge looker by any means really. Amusement Park and Tower were great but you spend most of your time in a generic ruined city and visually monotonous desert.
To me, Nier: Automata's biggest flaw is just how expansive the world is. I understand it needs to convey the idea of a truly desolate landscape, but it gets rather tiresome to traverse after a while. That being said, the game as a whole was an absolute marvel and one of the best I've played in the last decade.
When you put into perspective how much was crammed in between DMC4 and DMC5 just made me appreciate this release all the more. Excellent review as always! Been ITCHING to hear your thoughts, and naturally, not disappointed.
Great vid I don't even care for DMC or video games that much anymore, but there's always something amusing about hearing someone ramble on about something they're really passionate and enthusiastic for
@@SPM0717 I have to disagree. Sometimes fanboys can be bias, but they can also be very critical of the franchises they love, since they want to see them improve. And honestly, it's better watching a review from a fanboy who at least knows the ins and outs of the franchise, than someone who has no idea what their talking about.
Not every game is Devil May Cry though. That's an established franchise beloved by gamers. NieR:Automata was a gamble, nobody except Platinum, Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito believed in the game during production. The latter of which had to put his job on the line in order to get that game greenlit and leave all creative freedom to Yoko Taro. Good games sell, that's a truth the industry is skeptical about. But now let's hope Yoko Taro gets a real budget for his next project.
I call bullshit. DMC was kicked in the nuts pretty hard ever since 4, with its budget cut and rushed release Then we got a shitty reboot because dumbass Inafune loves western cock. Then the fans had to wait ELEVEN YEARS to play the proper sequel, almost 2 generations of consoles later. You insinuated DMC5 got what it has easily because it's beloved. Wrong. That love was tested, time and time again, and if the fans hadn't been loud and demanding through it, showing there's a market for true hack and slash, Capcom would have just buried the series after the failed reboot, which we all thought they did for years. God of War sells even more than DMC and its sequel didn't get the same treatment despite its huge budget. Because it's not about budget, it's about someone as passionate as Itsuno putting his foot down and saying "either let me make this game for the fans or I'll quit this stupid-ass company."
And well, Cory Barlog became a pretentious narcissistic hipster after GoW II, which also explains why the new GoW sucks ass despite probably costing more than DMC5 and definitely selling more.
Gotta say this has been quite a journey, been a subscriber thanks to your Metroid videos way back then, by the time you got to your first DMC retrospective i was already deep in the series with around 200 hours on DMC4 alone, so from that perspective watching your affection for this series growing and growing over the years was quite a sight to behold and to see it all coming to this moment is very fulfilling to say the absolute least.
Incredible video! I feel so glad that I found this channel early enough to feel the scale of your journey! To be completely honest, I haven't even played the DMC games, I just find your enthusiasm so infective that I watch all the videos anyways.
I've watched this masterpiece of a video so many times. When people ask me why DMC5 is my favorite game, I show them this video. It perfectly communicates the expectations for the game, the history of the franchise, and how despite everything against this game, it released and max acted our expectations.
OH MY GOD unmesurable excitement finally we get the review I was like yesterday on yr discord asking guys if there are any news in patreon about this one and noone knew and its finally here anyway got my jojo part 4 to finish I will be back
Absolutely masterful video, Charlie. I've been a fan of your channel since the beginning and have followed this journey for so long, it's really amazing to not only get this glorious game but also to see that you got everything you wanted too. The world and this industry might sometimes be incredibly disheartening, but sometimes good things can still happen.
I guess for me at least, you can say that this game is up there with Zelda Breath of the Wild and Doom 2016 as games that go back to the roots of the series and modernize then while staying true to what's come before, creating something compelling and fresh in the process.
BRO... hands down this is my fav dmc5 review. You were just as elated as I was when i played this master peice. I have never heard of you but I just subbed. Thank you
I watched this review back when it came out, and now that I played through the game and am paying mission 19 and 20 every single day. This video gives my emotion words, that I could not have topped myself - the sheer euphoria that I felt when I first saw the trailer, the squealing I let out when I saw that I could buy the game with a discount and didn't have to save up for the next week, the tears on my face when I got to misson 10, the whirlwind of emotions I was blasted away by during the entirety of the second half of this game. This is the best resolution we could've ever hoped for. Thank you, tgb for making this video, and thank you for being my gateway into this franchise.
Thaat is really passionate review haha. When I saw 1 hour long I just "Well, i'll hear another time..... but let me check atleast a bit" and cant stop listen haha. Very nice. we need more games with that passion!
From someone with a very similar relation to this series as you have described over the years and the same ecstatic feeling toward the end of DMC5, thank you and much love for this video. It feels like a good summary for the future of what many of us felt at this moment in time. Cheers!

Devil May Cry 5 is solid proof that the concept of "it will never live up to fan expectations" is a complete load of shit.

Wasn't Vergil playable too in DMC 3, aside from the DMC 4 Special Ed.? I have a faint recollection of spamming his op katana multislash.
Wasn't Vergil breaking the game as V? I've seen many people complaining about it. "V is button-spamming machine with easiest SSS-rank ever!!!"

Nah, Nero already knew what he had to do but was wavering because the whole situation was so crazy and intimidating. He's never had a family, how does he cope with this? Its scary to him, emotionally if not physically.
Kyrie is the one constant he's had, his love and presumably best friend. He just needed to hear her voice and her encouragement, and she knew that too. As she herself says "you always know what is right".
@@sharavy6851 but it's not odd phrasing. It's exactly what Nero needed to hear. She didn't say "figure it out yourself dawg, I don't fucking know about you're problems" she said "Have faith in yourself, and do what you KNOW is the right thing to do."

Being totally honest here, I discovered this by myself, thanks to playing DMC4: you can grab Vergil during his flying charge attack with Nero's Devil Bringer.
And no joke: I ended that last boss fight with it.
Power slamming Vergil into the ground to end the fight was one of the great Fuck Yeah moments I've ever experienced in a game.
Same with the fcharge attack from Artemis.

I don't know that I've ever been more excited to see someone's review than this one, honestly.
That music video channel update was so hype that it made me finally go back to DMC1 after 18 years to beat it on DMD
My impression to dmc5 Dante: I finally have a demonic motorcycle that I can use as a weapon . My dmc3 dream has been fulfilled. Balrog>Gilgamesh.
Balrog is definitely the best. The best of both worlds
Balrog > any gauntlet
Balrog> every single gauntlet in the franchise
I prefer Gilgamesh, Balrog feels too weird with it's hitboxes. Friction (divekick) doesn't jc that smoothly unless you have ignition. to have ignition you have to do a stupid dance or punch the enemy 10 times.
It's repetitive and limiting it makes it so you always have this guaranteed downtime of switching modes no matter what and you can only attack while switching modes in two ways. It's actually kinda awful tbh... King Cerberus is a lot better. the Neo Balrog mod improves it a lot though
The idea of ignition and balrog modes kinda ok with but it's execution is soooo limiting and antithetical to DMC. You don't feel like you have freedom to switch between modes it feels like the modes are limiting you from having the freedom you should have... if that makes sense, and ignition is just kind of baffling how they implemented it. The mod that simply makes more of Balrog's moves build up ignition so you don't have to keep doing the same things over and over if you don't want just feels like such a no brainer

One thing I loved in DMC5 is how Nero, just like Vergil, also seeks power throughout the entire game. Unlike Vergil though, he seeks it for virtuous causes and actually attains the power he seeks.
Pfft. No, he only wanted power cause Dante hurt his feelings calling him dead weight. And he got the power up in a very corny way if you ask me.

@@UnifiedEntity Uh, did you forget that Nero was trying to stop his Uncle and dad from killing each other?
Daniel Alvarez “DMC 4 did his growth better”......I mean at that point why bother arguing with him if his only pieces of logic boil down to dumbing down DMC 5’s story.
It's just an amazing feeling to have DMCV deliver where KH3 and MGSV were promising. Itsuno came into the field, called his home run outta the park and gave the people what they wanted. Definitely a top 5 game experience. Glad it could deliver for others what it had for me.
It annoys me when people say we didn't like games because the wait and hype was too long, DMC5 proves that even if we have 10 years worth of hype, game developers can still make games that satisfy.
Tbf, kh3 is pretty good now. They fixed issues with the combat abd gave the hardcore fans the fights they wanted. Mgsv would probably be the only one that kinda failed but id say thats more konamis fault with some convulated storytelling from kojima
@@MisterPudd Nah, after Death Stranding I mostly blame Kojima. Still blame Konami too, remember Kojima's boot-camp? I do...
@@Garry_Combine oh i dont disagree. Mgs4 was just an interactive movie to appeal to fans. That said, it doesnt take away from the first 3 games and 5 actually was decent for what it had. Its rlly only the cliffhanger at the end i personally dont like
@@MisterPudd oh, don't get me wrong, I enjoy 4 and 5, but I just don't like Kojima and Death Stranding was what did it for me. I'm pretty sure the first 3 games had a second writer, which probably helped to alleviate Kojima's negative attributes, but again, I still enjoy 4, PW and 5. But I was also a fan of Portable Ops, which to be honest, at least narrative wise, I think is a better sequel to MGS3 whilst Peace Walker is just more fun to play on the go. But then again, Hideo was Producer, not director. Either way, good series with problems here and there but at least MGS ain't Death Stranding, lol.

Thank you for this video , it sums it all beautifully ;)

@@wasneeplus That's strange. Didn't happen for me.
@@zffrailgun1630 It's me!
DMC5 is the perfect send off for the series with how every loose end in the series is neatly tied but with enough of an opened ending for the series to maybe move into the future, as well as a love letter to the fans from Itsuno. All the callbacks and references to pretty much every game in the series(barring that misguided reboot) had me grinning from ear to ear the whole way through the game. I even got choked up a little bit at the end. When that BIG REVEAL, that all the fans knew but the series and characters FINALLY admit, happened and how it happen... well let’s just say I was floored. It was such perfect timing in the story, and really made those last 3 missions matter just that much more to me.
And let’s not forget that combat! Holy shit man!! There has never been an action game, hell even just game in general, that has as much depth and allows you look as cool as in DMC5’s combat. It takes EVERYTHING in the series’s past and cranks it all up to 12! FUCK 11! It skips that pussy shit and punches past to 12.
It’s a near perfect game. Now I only say near perfect rather than perfect because of two things. One is that you can’t play as a certain character(my favorite character btw), that part bummers me out but I’ve heard there’s DLC on the way so fingers crossed. The second one is the battle themes. They’re good songs don’t get me wrong but they just aren’t on the level of DMC3(even 4), as I would have liked them to be. “Taste the Blood,” Dante’s battle theme from DMC3 is still the definitive battle theme of the series for me personally, and I really missed that heavy metal music during battles. Other than those two things DMC5 is the definitive DMC game by far.
EXACTY!!!
While I personally love the battle themes, I agree with you on everything else.
DMC5 is by far the best DMC in my eyes.
Now if only we can get some Vergil DLC...
ya I love how every good DMC game raises the bar for the whole genera so much, unfortunately, the character you are talking about does not appear to be getting DLC but there are some good looking fan mods for that character and while I agree with you about subhuman and crimson cloud I have to say that devil trigger, in my opinion, is one of the best tracks to come out of this franchise with the anime op track but I can see where you are coming from
If that fav character of yours is Vergil, well it looks like its your lucky day lmao. And not only that, his Battle theme is a fucking banger. Bury the Light IMO is one of the better battle themes in the entire franchise and represents Vergil's character arc so goddamn well.
I like how even though the game has only 20 missions like previous games, the level of detail in the gameplay truly shows the level of focus and passion behind this beast of a game.
Don't buy the game. It's addicting as fuck. Even after finishing the campaign weeks ago, I still can't stop playing it.

Gaming Brit has produced easily the best review of this game without a doubt. Unlike all these game journalists who rushed out a review without even learning the game's mechanics properly.
This is what gaming "journalism" is lacking, content that looks deeper into these games mechanically, systemically and understanding its place in modern culture. Compared other mediums like literature, film and music etc. games have yet to reach that level of discussion by seemingly professional publications. Read any professional movie review/analysis compared to an IGN or gamespot review and it's clear which medium is more respected at least as a profession, somewhat gratifying to see channels on youtube produce more insightful editorials and reviews than some of these outlets.
Watching DMC5's real time cutscenes play in 144FPS flawlessly with no sync issues or stuttering is genuinely the most "next gen" thing I ever witnessed to this day.
i think my favourite part of this video, was when the channel came full circle after mentioning the Nightmare Before Christmas for the playstation 2 computer entertainment system™
*4 Fallout games (1 good one)*
*C L A P P I N G*
Fallout 1,2, and even 3 to an existant are all pretty good just dated.
Oh yeah 1 and 2 are great, Brit's referring to the 4 games released in the time frame between DMC4 and 5, those being all 3 made by Bethesda and the actually good one.
@@Diamond1234548 ok, i assume the good one is new vegas which i love it's my favorite fallout. though i still think 3 is fine, but that because it was the first one i played.

A few of the cool aspects were actually cribbed from DmC, the reboot, which is pretty weird to think about. But Itsuno apparently likes it, or aspects of it. So it's interesting to see the dev take some positive elements from a largely hated title. But then, it ain't the first time that's happened. Rebellion and Bloody Palace both made their debuts in Devil May Cry 2, after all...
DMC5 is absolutely my favorite in the series. I just hope the rumored DLC content turns out to be true--Ladies' Night for Trish and Lady, and fully-playable Vergil. That would just make my fucking decade.
@laz kar minus the hamfisted words trying to shit talk to you cuz thats beyond tacky. honestly felt like Dino's design works more for Nero and low and behold Nero takes over Dino's style and it works
It could have been Itsuno being polite. He's Japanese, after all.
Even in my country openly shitting on the other game would have been seen as rude.
"Fully-playable Vergil"
I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!
Itsuno also helped the development of DmC.
Its just Tameem who ruined the game.
@@sulthanarya3281 Itsuno helped the development *later on,* and at this point it's impossible to say whether or not the game would have been a superior narrative product had it not changed course mid-development. That said, I have heard the gameplay was a mess before Itsuno stepped in. So it would be more "they didn't get it right, and Itsuno course-corrected."
Which is also apparent the case for DMC2, to an extent, although it seems that wasn't enough to save it.
I've come back to this video probably 7 or 8 times, I love listening to a hyperfan of DMC talk about how much he loves DMC.
Something I just realized that is so cool, you had the hood on and when the explosion happened it blew off 18:10
Not sure if I’m in the minority or in the majority, but as this being my fist DMC game, I almost never use the red/gold orbs to revive myself and just restarted the nearest checkpoint. If I did use them, I always found myself unsatisfied by end of the mission because I always thought “Man I could’ve done better”.
Same Brutha, Same
I played the same way. Plus, the checkpoints are well placed and restarting from one also lets you bank red orbs, which is a nice tradeoff.
It means you're playing the game right.
That comment would hold more weight with the difficulty played listed. I never died once beating it on Human and new game plus threw me right up to Son of Sparta past Devil Hunter. 5 missions in and I’ve had to use two gold orbs out of the 40 o collected blasting through on easy mode. Point is the game showed me why those were even a thing in the game when it decided to skip me up a difficulty and I noticed bosses easily can be paywalls on “expert” but everything is a joke on easy.
This is the right mentality to play a DMC game. Back in the day, the old games had consumable items. HOWEVER, it was heavily discouraged to use due to rank penalty aka less resources reward->taking longer time to upgrade.
Your not wrong about wanting to start a new chapter for this channel, but with all the years you've covering action games and talking about DMC, you got your own legacy to live up to and exceed now. Just remember to throw in a DMC reference at the end of your video's every now and again for old times sake....provided we do go like 2 or 3 video's without one by some strange unforeseen misfortune.
"Like an off brand, power brand, donguri over here"
Ok, you made me laugh and that gets a sub.
This is the most complete and perfect review I fan could ask for. This is pure perfection. Nice job
Just saying, Nier Automata was barren for artistic reasons, and even then it still looks good. Same goes for Bayonetta 1 and 2. They don't look bad at all. But, you're right. DMC 5 looks unbelievably good.
Jeffrey Canzani
If the machines don't notice you and you hack as 9S then you can actually play as the machines. It made 9S 100 times more bearable.
It was barren for artistic reasons but also had real low quality textures and some PS3 unreal looking stuff. That game wasnt a huge looker by any means really. Amusement Park and Tower were great but you spend most of your time in a generic ruined city and visually monotonous desert.
To me, Nier: Automata's biggest flaw is just how expansive the world is. I understand it needs to convey the idea of a truly desolate landscape, but it gets rather tiresome to traverse after a while. That being said, the game as a whole was an absolute marvel and one of the best I've played in the last decade.
Oh come on, Platinum just does slightly barren cities. See also Revengeance and Transformers Devastation.
@Jeffrey Canzani 9S was quite fun imo, but I agree, he was the least fun character out of the 3... still the best character story wise 👍

The first time you activate DT in the last boss fight might be my favorite moment in gaming history.
Not every game is Devil May Cry though. That's an established franchise beloved by gamers.
NieR:Automata was a gamble, nobody except Platinum, Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito believed in the game during production.
The latter of which had to put his job on the line in order to get that game greenlit and leave all creative freedom to Yoko Taro.
Good games sell, that's a truth the industry is skeptical about.
But now let's hope Yoko Taro gets a real budget for his next project.
I call bullshit. DMC was kicked in the nuts pretty hard ever since 4, with its budget cut and rushed release
Then we got a shitty reboot because dumbass Inafune loves western cock.
Then the fans had to wait ELEVEN YEARS to play the proper sequel, almost 2 generations of consoles later.
You insinuated DMC5 got what it has easily because it's beloved. Wrong. That love was tested, time and time again, and if the fans hadn't been loud and demanding through it, showing there's a market for true hack and slash, Capcom would have just buried the series after the failed reboot, which we all thought they did for years.
God of War sells even more than DMC and its sequel didn't get the same treatment despite its huge budget. Because it's not about budget, it's about someone as passionate as Itsuno putting his foot down and saying "either let me make this game for the fans or I'll quit this stupid-ass company."
And well, Cory Barlog became a pretentious narcissistic hipster after GoW II, which also explains why the new GoW sucks ass despite probably costing more than DMC5 and definitely selling more.
João Paulo well that’s one hell of a hot take
@@tumulovermelho93 I actually agree tbh, GoW sucks and felt terrible to play.
Why did that sound like Sphere Hunter saying "the story so far"?
Because it is.
Because it is her voice?
Because it was, Truly this is the perfect review.
Get the drinks ready... this is gonna be a rough one...
Since he is mentioning Devil May Cry, do we still take a drink?
@@gabrielwright-dunn9355 do you still breath if you're alive?
Then fuck yes we take a shot
Got my bottle of whiskey ready.
And my axe!
@@ffnovice7 I love you for that reference
This is honestly one of my favourite things you've ever made, man, sharing the hype with you about this was unreal.
Gotta say this has been quite a journey, been a subscriber thanks to your Metroid videos way back then, by the time you got to your first DMC retrospective i was already deep in the series with around 200 hours on DMC4 alone, so from that perspective watching your affection for this series growing and growing over the years was quite a sight to behold and to see it all coming to this moment is very fulfilling to say the absolute least.
The time has come and so have I
HYPEEEE
Let's see how long it's gonna take for the inevitable DMC reference this time smh
Incredible video! I feel so glad that I found this channel early enough to feel the scale of your journey! To be completely honest, I haven't even played the DMC games, I just find your enthusiasm so infective that I watch all the videos anyways.
I've watched this masterpiece of a video so many times. When people ask me why DMC5 is my favorite game, I show them this video. It perfectly communicates the expectations for the game, the history of the franchise, and how despite everything against this game, it released and max acted our expectations.
OH MY GOD
unmesurable excitement finally we get the review I was like yesterday on yr discord asking guys if there are any news in patreon about this one and noone knew and its finally here
anyway got my jojo part 4 to finish I will be back
Amazing video.
Thanks Brit, stay legend.
(should've talked about SDT tho)
Absolutely masterful video, Charlie. I've been a fan of your channel since the beginning and have followed this journey for so long, it's really amazing to not only get this glorious game but also to see that you got everything you wanted too. The world and this industry might sometimes be incredibly disheartening, but sometimes good things can still happen.
I guess for me at least, you can say that this game is up there with Zelda Breath of the Wild and Doom 2016 as games that go back to the roots of the series and modernize then while staying true to what's come before, creating something compelling and fresh in the process.
It's been a long time coming but it finally came...
And So Have I
Holy fuck if Atlus had the money to make a Raidou game this good I would literally stop existing in real life
BRO... hands down this is my fav dmc5 review. You were just as elated as I was when i played this master peice. I have never heard of you but I just subbed. Thank you
Legendary video mate, genuinely looked forward to your review. Good luck with the next chapter
I watched this review back when it came out, and now that I played through the game and am paying mission 19 and 20 every single day. This video gives my emotion words, that I could not have topped myself - the sheer euphoria that I felt when I first saw the trailer, the squealing I let out when I saw that I could buy the game with a discount and didn't have to save up for the next week, the tears on my face when I got to misson 10, the whirlwind of emotions I was blasted away by during the entirety of the second half of this game. This is the best resolution we could've ever hoped for. Thank you, tgb for making this video, and thank you for being my gateway into this franchise.
This video is single-handed my made me want to play this series so I can come back to this video and be rewarded by watching the spoilery bits
Good luck 😎
It's been 6 months since you made this comment. Where does the time go? No doubt you played it. Right, roymcgeeters?!
Fantastic analysis and awesome to see the channel come full circle!
Dude I’ve been waiting for this since the retrospective reviews you put out a long time ago and you did not disappoint :)
Holy shit, an hour long review I wonder how orgasmic SE was for my man😂
Thaat is really passionate review haha. When I saw 1 hour long I just "Well, i'll hear another time..... but let me check atleast a bit" and cant stop listen haha.
Very nice. we need more games with that passion!
From someone with a very similar relation to this series as you have described over the years and the same ecstatic feeling toward the end of DMC5, thank you and much love for this video. It feels like a good summary for the future of what many of us felt at this moment in time. Cheers!
Its always nice to see someone appreciate a game/ series as much As you do , i also love the bargain bin donguri comment , gave me a good chuckle ,
