+Azriel PSX Just master a few martial arts and master gunplay and sword wielding. Oh and also have some armour and boom. Unstoppable. Just watch out for nukes and napalm.
What DMC should be right now, not shoving microtransactions, rewarding the endless pockets and getting greedy by rewarding such... I won't be playing V nor 4SE for these reasons alone, not to mention... It runs past 60fps for the original PC release and does have Turbo Mode, its everything I need as well... Sorry, Lady, you were not implemented very well, Trish was kinda eh for me, Vergil is something I can return to with DMC3SE and has just as little impact outside of having actually been a part of the story, to begin with really. So thank god I can play this and I suppose... watch as Capcom fucks up DMCV by trying to fuck over the fans that have been waiting forever for a proper return, I'm sorry but I saw the writing on the wall with the Pachinko machine announcement not long back... Well they will find out the hard way I suppose
Capcom recently announced a list of 6 franchises they're focusing on and DMC is one of them. Given the reception and sales of DmC, it will probably be DMC5.
***** Wow! This makes me happy! If it is DmC 2 though i will personally pirate and distribute it to my friends if it means damaging Capcom. If it is DMC5 and it is good! Then take my money.
I love how the reboot hyped up the 60fps in the trailer but only for the Xbone and PS4 while DMC3+4 already have that like 6-9 years ago, seriously, they should stop pushing the Unreal Engine for every fucking game
Oh god, i played a little in the Legendary Dark Knight in one of my friend's house, and i got the same reaction of the GamingBrit, i pretty much orgasmed with the vision of destroying groups of demons ala Dinasty Warriors.
I got a mention. i.imgur.com/8FiUafN.gif Anyway, if DMC3 had style switching it would be fucking perfect. It has everything you could possibly want except that extra bit of combat complexity that DMC4 has.
HyperBitHero The port runs like an emulator would run it. Get it off steam and it runs just fine, never had a problem with it except having to re configure controller.
That is, unfortunately, probably because he doesn't. He's not a hack n slash/beat-em-up gamer. He's an MMO/RPG/Shooter player. He considered Lolipop Chainsaw worth the hype, but Bayonetta not worth it. As much as I like Joe, he really shouldn't have dipped his toes into something he knows so little about. And it shows that he doesn't. It really, really does.
He really does not. He gave DmC higher score than Bayonetta. Don't trust him when it comes to core hack and slash mechanics, Joe is more like the reviewer for the average gamer. The reason I like his reviews is because he is very sincere and honest. His Ride to Hell, Mindjack and Rambo: The Videogame reviews are entertainment gold.
Bruce Wayne Now, that's not very fair. Plenty of intelligent adults watch his reviews for the same reason we all watch, play, listen to, or read anything. Entertainment. And his rants, for the most part, are fairly accurate (when he knows what he's talking about, at least). So, cut Joe a little slack. He is trying, and some people do legitimately like his works.
I also forgot to mention that devil may cry 3 actually did have a story with complex characters, the onlything was that we werer just droped into the middle of it and they behaved like real people I use real very loosely, it's obvious that the story started a year before 3 started. the reason vergil doesn't go into detail about his motive is because dante already knows it, and they are both after the same thing but different methods. with the "Foolishness dante, foolishness. Might controls everything, without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself. he doesn't need to tell dante he's wants power so he will never experience the helplessness of not being able to save the ones he loves(his mother, and possibly dante if vergil thought dante was dead after their home was destroyed). it is also clear that vergil wasn't trying to kill dante at the very least in the first and second encounter. since vergil has far more experience than dante, vergil knows how far their regeneration can be pushed without killing him, if vergil wanted dante dead he would have just decapitated him instead of impaling him, in fact the impaling seems more of his way of telling dante to stay here until I get back. infact I can imagine their parants scolding them when they had a fight going something like this "Dante, Vergil, how many times have I told you if your going to shed blood put plastic on the floor first!" while dante starts off wanted to kick vergils ass for what happened a year ago and destroying his store/house. and resents his father to the point that he even says that he doesn't have a father, for either not being there to protect his family, or being the reason his his mother was killed. and after all the demons telling dante how great sparda was. I can go on but I don't want to bore you, it's story telling is similar to a mixture of dark souls and devil may cry 1(I would have actually liked there to be notes or journals laying around for dante to read like in the first game). at first glance it's a shallow straight forward story without much explanations for the characters actions, but you start thinking about the meaning of each line of dialogue, it paints a very compeling story, with rich character with a good deal of depth
This is definitely one of your greatest videos to date. Not only do you analyze every single part of the combat for both games, you compared how todays hack and slashes handle Over the top scenarios which was honestly my favorite part of the video. And its funny how NT's PC DmC can FINALLY run at 60 fps, then you show how DMC 4 PC can run 4x or more faster. DMC 4 is one of the greatest PC ports ever, and DMC 3 and 4 are the best hack and slashes and beat em ups of all time.
DmC was native 30fps so increasing the fps in PC to 9000 still wouldn't make a difference apart from making it stable. same goes for DMC1-3 but they are all native 60fps, which is more than enough for a human eye to handle
Well... let's just say that my crappy notebook runs DMC4 in smooth, stable 50-70 FPS (biggest drops I've noticed were ~40 FPS in LDK mode and ~30 FPS while recording stuff with X-Fire... and it's a 2009 mediocore notebook with dual core CPU @ 2.1 GHz and GF130M we're talking about) with all graphic settings set to Very High (AA is turned off, though) while DmC runs like shite and looks like shite on Medium/Low. UE3 is indeed a great engine.
Maybe not the greatest PC port but a really damn good one! (Which is funny compared to 3's which I would say is as bad as Dark Souls). I can stream the game no prob with a constant 60 fps if not on LDK difficulty. PC version however, gives the Super costumes for DMD mode more stuff than just infinite DT! It locks red queen's charge gauge at maximum while giving Dante infinite Disaster (Pandora) and Royal Guard gauge! Someone finally accepted the fact that stuff like this are best when they're broken ^_^
As an action game DmC stands well on its own, but as a Devil May Cry game, its an utter disapointment and this video does a great job summarizing that.
18:34 *thunderous applause You have perfectly summarized my own feelings towards DMC4, DmC, hell even the franchise in general. It really is heartbreaking to see a series that had so much innovation and had so much potential for new games and advances in the combat system, for it simply to take several steps backwards with the reboot. The whole situation with the reboot (seeing comments and reactions from fans of it and the "journalists") has left me feeling jaded towards gaming in general. But I still also hope that we get a proper sequel to DMC4, which has mechanics and a combat system that builds upon the foundations of its predecessors. Until that day we can only dream. Thanks for a well done analysis of these amazing games, and it's great to see you back!!!
+Alex Ruiz I just got the Special Edition of 4 a week ago and while I'm not good enough to do a combo video or anything, I am learning, I can do a few combos though nothing ridiculous. I'm sure you can be a pro if you put in the effort.
*After seeing the review and listening that amazing speech* Me: *Snif* Someone: Are you crying? Me: It's only the rain... Someone (same one): The rain already stop. Me: DMC Fans never cry. Someone else: Even fans of the Reboot? *Complete silence.... Cought...* Seriously awesome review you did Brit ^_^ *Thumbs up*
If we get a DMC 5 I really hope Nero returns. I know some people didn't like him, but I loved him from the start. Maybe it was cause DMC 4 was my first DMC game. But I want his story to continue or at least support Dante in some way cause they go along great with one another. It would be awesome to see them work side by side in the entire story not just the end of it.
Started this saga 13 years ago with the first DMC, played them all and while i was a bit sceptic about Nero at the beggining fearing another DMC2, as soon as i started playing i knew how awesome and fun he was to play as. Nero haters are simply dumb.
Very good review! I feel like playing those games now. You've touched on them just a tad here, but I'd actually love to see reviews of Bayonetta and Wonderful 101, since both were directed by the same guy behind the original DMC series (I believe...could just be Bayonetta).
***** yea I know, the nope was mostly for him doing both Bayo and TW101, I knew about DMC and probably should have mentioned it as well now that I re-review the message. well he knows now lol
the same guy that made the cutscenes for DMC 3 made cutscenes for Bayonetta as well... which shouldnt really be surprising me now that I think about it xD
***** im aware, doesnt change that they were indirectly insulting our inteligence if they thought their changes and political commentary on someone elses society would be appealed to us americans, was not the least bit offensive.
CornishCreamtea07 actually plenty of dmc fans played DmC devil may cry, also Let me suggest 2 videos for you to show how very wrong you are. DmC video Analysis - the gameplay
I have never played so much as a second of a DMC game before, but I did see your previous DMC videos and greatly enjoyed them. And I gotta say, 75% of this video I was utterly and completely lost. I could barely keep up with your explanation of the games' depth and complexity, sometimes delving into technobabble to my uninitiated ears. And you know what? I don't give a fuck, because I couldn't keep from smiling the whole way through. Your passion and love for these games just oozes out, and you don't need to understand a goddamn word you say in order to know that. Oh, and I love the Gurren Lagann thing you've got going with Dante and the music. He does remind me a lot of Kamina, so it's a very appropriate choice. That, and Gurren Lagann just kicks ass.
Michael McCallister They didn't just look awesome, but they were well-designed from a gameplay perspective as well. Take the Marionette in DMC1 for example. It had five different attack: - a short range two-hit cutting/swiping attack - a mid-range spinning move that does multiple hits - a long-range weapon throw/shotgun shot - a grab attack that did multiple hits - a warcry-like AoE that stuns Dante for several seconds. Defensive options include: - Block - Block & counter attack Compare with DMC3 and 4: Hell Pride has two. One defensive option (blocking). Scarecrow - Arm has three attacks. Two defensive options (dodge, block). Scarecrow - Leg has two. One defensive option (block).
+Potidaon yeah, it's always a shame to see a series that's great in almost every title always miss 1 thing between each of them. DMC1's expanded enemy roster, DMC3's numerous weapons, styles and story pacing, and DMC4's style switch in a fifth installment would be spectacular. especially if it comes with all five DMC4 SE characters out of the box, plus a new one original to the game, each with their own story, even if they're shorter.
This was a very fun video to watch. I am glad you did another review for these games. I've starting watching your videos and it is a very great watch seeing you go through all of these.
you just blew my mind when you mentioned Stands.(monstly because I've only discovered jojo recently). now I want nero's dt to say ORA ORA ORA ORA while punching enemies
Was hoping you'd take a deeper look into the series after the retrospective, and I have to say you really did the series justice. Very well made, didn't skim over anything important and had a fucking perfect outro. This should be shown to anyone wanting to get into this series.
This is hands down the most exciting and sincere DMC review I've ever watched. Man tears listening to you praising both games in the right places where they deserve it. Anyway... Dante's Distortion. I've read in some places people saying it's gone in PC ports of either original DMC4 or SE, but (I admit I'm a noob, tried this on 1st run Devil Hunter mode) it seemed like it still works? Did away 1/2 or 2/3 of Dagon's health with 1 DRI (Distorted Real Impact) and got Savior's chest core in 2-3 DRI.
Considering the implementation of FreeStyle mode in current releases of DMC3, clearly some at Capcom agrees with your criticism of the Style system there.
So glad to see you back in all of your reviewing glory! I'm actually really happy that you did a more updated version on your impression of DMC3 and 4; as much as I loved the original reviews, this one is much more polished, and it was both enjoyable and informative. :)
Great review GB, I wished you talked a little about Dante's and Vergil's relationship; I think they have one of the best relationships/chemistry in gaming. Anyways, what's your favorite style in DMC3?
I do enjoy this. Good job on giving DMC 3 and 4 the depth and analysis it deserves. I don't think I've seen anyone explain it in this much detail and it's something I've always wanted to see.
So uh, when is his DMCV review coming? Awesome review btw. Captures every great thing about DMC3/4 quite perfectly unlike any other reviews. This makes me happy.
Besides the fact that you reminded me of those dark 50 HZ-only days this video was really awesome. I love, LOVE how you go into the mechanics in a detailed explanation. I miss this in reviews almost all the time. That's how you do Character Action reviews!
Here's a random list of what I'd love to see Capcom do for Devil May Cry 5... Random, I know, but here you go! 1. Make Dante the star. He is the embodiment of Devil May Cry, and we've all made clear why he's one of the best action heroes in gaming. Let him run loose again, give him more weapons, continue to tweak and perfect his moveset from DMC4 and expand upon it. Don't flood him with too much filler moves like in DmC, but give us enough from the start to be able to pull off SSStylish fairly. Also include more moves for his Devil Trigger form like flying on command. And if Capcom's going to make the game take place after DMC2, then they'd better write him as the Dante we know and love in the story. Cocky, witty, goofy, funny, sometimes grumpy and jaded like in the anime, but sincere and with as much heart as his half-human side can give. 2. More level variety, unique areas for each flippin' character this time and some creative themes. Hell, they should allow the player to go into the Demon World again and explore increasingly hellish areas toward the end. Need I say more? 3. Keep Nero. He needs a seperate campaign from Dante that can still tie in with his story if need be, and levels that are built around his Devil Bringer mechanic. Maybe give him more moves too, just enough for added variety. 4. Allow all previous playable characters to return, preferably with their own levels and campaigns (maybe not as long as the star himself). Trish, Lady, Vergil, even Lucia. They can tweak Lucia's unique fighting style to better fit the more refined gameplay of 3 and 4, plus her Devil Trigger, kicks and knife attacks were cool. 5. Include Sparda himself in some way. Whether it's an entire campaign based around him or something else, let us finally get to play as him. Maybe make his own story take place before he marries Eva, where he takes on Mundus and his demon army. 6. Bring Mundus and Vergil back in the story. It's hinted at that Nero is the son of Vergil, so what if the story revolves around Dante enlisting the help of Nero and the others to storm hell and kill Mundus once and for all to free humanity from the demons that constantly pour through to the human world. Dante also promises Nero that he'll get to meet his father if they save him. And as for Mundus, he's most threatening without a true definable form, and he never truly materialised in DMC1, but when his statue body broke and his eye-riddled flesh poured out, you knew there was way more to him than that. Make his true form something really nightmarish and haunting, Just don't give us the shitty Lex Luthor wannabe from the reboot. 7. This is more of an alternate idea, but... Just like Dante can switch between weapons on the fly, what if you could do the same with the characters? Hell it doesn't need to take up the entire game, it could be its own dedicated mode somehow, maybe a bonus to include in the Bloody Palace or even a "Final Battle" campaign. 8. More bosses. A solid variety of bosses like what we got in Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. Each one as enjoyable if not more exciting than the last, each offering a unique yet thrilling and fair fight. 9: Legendary Dark Knight mode. I'm loving it in DMC4SE, and I want it back in the next game, even on consoles. I don't know how, but it's gotta happen. Maybe a PS4 Pro and XBONE Scorpio feature? 10. This is a personal one, but include some characters from the anime series somehow, like Patty, Dante's agent Morrison, and maybe even a cameo from the diseased villain Sid. They could all fit in somehow, I'm sure. Maybe make Patty own several shops where she can provide Dante and co with what they need, and Morrison could be the one who gives Dante info about a job, where they later discover Mundus is behind the disturbance? I dunno, I just really like the show... Madhouse should make another series. 11. Don't pander to casuals by dumbing down the combat system in any way. Include a training mode for inexperienced players and a story chart in-game if they need to read up on the backstory of the previous games as abbreviated as possible 12. Most importantly, include a scene or an interactive section where Dante gets to beat the living shit out of DmC Dante. That alone will forever cement DMC5 as game of the year all year every year. Feel free to discuss more ideas of what you would like to see in Devil May Cry 5, which is definitely going to be a thing because Capcom has no choice now.
NintendanGX I love your idea of different campaigns for each character, capcom has done that setup before with resi 6 and in my opinion that worked very well. I say make Dante's full length like maybe a little shorter than dmc3 and then make the others maybe half that length. Then obviously they could make the story involve all the characters and have every campaign reveal things about the overarching plot. Also after dmc4 SE came out with 5 characters it would be a shame to abandon the work put into their movesets. I just hope the game happens haha
NintendanGX all I want is Dante as the protagonist vergil as the antagonist, throwing sparda in would be cool, level design of the first game or the third game, combat of the same level as 4 and everything else you said
This is the correct review of the devil may cry series. I saw your previous ones and saw a progression of a guy who skimmed through the games making first impression type of observations, commenting about some story details and such evolve into a guy who loves the franchise covering the at first glance minor but at core essential details, like how essential taunts were to the atmosphere and what made the combat system so great. This is by far the best review covering the series.
Man, this video was awesome! It really makes me wanna see you do a re-review of DmC:DMC since you're now so much better at DMC as a whole. You be able to tear it apart in new and exciting ways! Also, Alarmhat's videos are gone. He did some great videos covering how bad DmC was but he just up and left TH-cam it seems.
I always thought it was terminated,shame...he was a great guy, wonder what he does now. Too bad nobody saved his vids, they were a great analysis on the subject matter of Stylish action games.
Devil May Cry 3 had the best combat without question. It never stopped along with that absolutely rocking soundtrack. That said though Dante has a few lines that just make me want to choke him with a sock puppet, like in the first game he was a smart ass who'd give a wise ass remark but in DMC3 he never stops with the one liners. Some of his jokes are funny but not all of them.
5 years later a nintendo switch port appears and incorporates all styles, weapons and guns all equipped on the fly+ a co-op mode for bloody palace. imo the switch version is the best version of dmc3 as of 2020
He knows...he (they actually, Kobayashi and Itsuno) knows and right now tries to make his own franchise, Sengoku BASARA reach a level that says "please don't stab me at a backalley and fondle my corpse Capcom" at the moment. If it pleases anyone to hear, Sengoku BASARA, upon reaching its current incarnation, SB4, has a gameplay system that is almost as deep as DMC3 but for a slightly different genre.
RiderWithTheScarf its a shame that people really wont be able to play sengoku basara because it being pegged as a dynasty warriors knockoff when it has an insane amount of depth rivaling devil may cry, but with more characters so i guess you could say it surpasses it. too many gamers are shallow now a days, always jumping to the "it looks like this game i played so i dont need to play this one" mentality.
DMC4 may have better combat system but DMC3 is still the better game. DMC4 suffers from really bad level design, which along with the high learning curve, just makes the overall experience frustrating to say the least. Basically, you need to be good at the game in order to derive pleasure from it. DMC3 on the other hand is fun not matter how skilled you are as a player. I can die numerous times and I just want to keep on playing. 08:26 - 08:52 pretty much sums up why this is, perfectly. The game encourages you to get better, whereas DMC4 just makes everything feel like a chore.
The ideal DMC game would pretty much be the core gameplay of 4 crossed with the style, design and amount of content from 3. Hopefully that's the game we'll get someday because they have the track record of being able to make the individual parts that could build up perhaps the best action game yet.
LukeMM95 The most important thing of any game is gameplay, dmc4 have the best gameplay, so it''s the better game, just deal with it, maybe not the better experience, but like I said, it's gameplay what matters, even more on the hack and slash genre, dmc4 is the street fighter 3 of street fighter, the better street but not the most popular, or the most accessible, or the better experience for the normal/cassual players but they have the best gameplay.
Wow this was an amazing review. You went into so much detail that I couldn't even explain why I love DMC. Just imagine a DMC 5 with the Combat depth of DMC4, with the Level of Content and Boss Battles of Bayonetta 2. Every Hack&Slash game fans wet dream.
That and a co-op option for bloody palace with the sons of Sparda. You know what? Capcom should release a multi-platform version and/or physical copy of this version, titled "special freestyle edition".
Liked immediately before watching because: 1) This was uploaded on my birthday!, and 2) It's a Gaming Brit video, so of course its gonna be entertaining! :D
easily the best review of dmc3/4 all the blind hate towards 4 is sickening, to be honest between dmc3se and 4 there is no clear winner and you did a great job at showing us why now.....REVIEW BAYONETTA!!!!!
It's great to see you back and better then ever if I must say TheGamingBritShow This was without a doubt one of your best video's to date. Not only are you providing some background information with the difference's between different versions/regions, you also give a little back story behind the game's development cycle and history. All that with solid facts and reasoning with good example's for show, really go to show just how great DMC3 & DMC4 are. I have to agree though with your last bit. As much as I love DMC4, it really does leave one wondering just how far they could have taken the series with that particle installment (given how the game we have is basically only 40% complete). Well with any luck, we'll see DMC5 at some point hopefully.
Just that? Nero is blatantly Ichigo and Kyrie is Orihime from Bleach(even have the same voice actors) and his hand actually has Demon hands powers from Hell Teacher Nube...and those + JoJo are the obvious references! XD Never change Japan, never change, keep being awesome.
RiderWithTheScarf lets not forget He also voiced the main protagonist of persona 4, which has simular concepts to jojo. Oh, and he's a former power ranger with his own rockin band(which might explain the air guitars)
DeathgGod Yeah, Persona are referencing JoJo like it's nobody's bussiness. XD Let's not forget that Ichigo also owned a guitar and he often played with his buddy Chad but never was in a band, Nero also references many other Shounen Heroes with his Busters, the most famous ones being the Hyakuretsuken from Hokuto no Ken and the combination of that with his "Stand" to create the ultimate punching barrage, as if Kenshiro had Jotaro's STar Platinum and both did Hyakuretsukens. XD
DeathgGod Aha, going for that I see, very well *(puts on nerd glasses)* : Dante, apart from being a mixture of Cobra, Indiana Jones and a bit of Reuben Langdon himself, Reuben is not only the voice and MoCap of Dante, he was a Henshin Hero back in the day for the japanese Metal Hero show B-Fighter Kabuto, used for footage for Beetleborgs Metalix and along with his own stunt team consisting of Dan Southworth(Vergil and Credo's MoCap) he provided MoCap and suit acting for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight which Johny Young Bosch provided voice acting for the video game as Kit Taylor. Also, the Dreadnought form kinda references the B-Fighter Kabuto's more bulky fighters. Also Dante's Pandora and Coyote-A movesets are taken and updated from the movesets of Sengoku BASARA's No-Hime, a game where Date Masamune is based of Dante, and finally his Gilgamesh moveset now consists of moves found in SF Ken's Super / Ultra moves, who Reuben Langdon MoCaps, voices and acted as for SF4. And finally about Nero, he faces of against Credo, the big brother of Kyrie when he became a monster and had dialogue and a showdown reminiscent to what Ichigo went through when Orihime was attacked by her own brother-turned-hollow. Also, the way he handles his weapons and uses his own dexterity is akin to how Nube uses his hands when he exposes his Demon Hand, almost never touching anything human with his right demonic hand unless it's to heal and everything that is human and man-made with his left hand. Oh and the way he handles Red Queen and Yamato in the cutscenes, reminescent of how Ichigo fights with his Shikai and Bankai on crack. You turn sir.
After watching this, I've now understood why DMC5 story and level designs were highly praised. At first I was a little disappointed with the bland Qlipoth levels and nonsensical story that just circles around the main characters. But after watching this and your DMC5 review, I'm beginning to accept that DMC5 IS the perfect DMC game, and I should spend hours and hours on it like I did on DMC3 back in the day.
“Pandora might as well be a combat system all by itself…” I’m actually surprised that never happened for DMC5. Who knows maybe we’ll see Pandora return for DMC6.
(last comment i swear) I have never seen anyone describe so Perfectly how Devil May Cry 3 and especially 4 feel. I have never agreed with anyone as much as i agreed with you in this video. And above all you used music from Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan AGAAIN!!!! REALLY? Like thats the best match for DMC after its own soundtrack.
Great video man, like the new intro too. Don't mind that they take so long because you clearly put a lot of effort into them. Those QTEs in TW101 were still kind of fun though... they shouldn't have been but..yeah..
Depends on the execution, purpose and consistency of the QTEs. For the most part, TW101 got them right by using them to cap off boss fights where the narrative will have to play out, having an funny fail state, tying them into Unite Morphs and having some of the ones that can occur during normal combat parts potentially be cancelled or have a reason to occur... Remember the Hah-Gonay (dragon like foes introduced a bit before Wonder White), the concept for opening up their armour when they close it wouldn't have worked nearly as well if they only required one press of the Y button as it would imply a complete lack of resistance. For it works, you can open it fast by bashing faster so you can get to attack it faster or alternatively not press anything and fail so you can get back to running around the environment.
Yeah, stuff like drawing the shapes in QTEs works because it's still using the mechanics of the game. But I meant even in the examples he showed of pushing Ohrowchee [not sure about that spelling] against the building and stabbing it's eye they're a bit of a guilty pleasure. Especially the final QTE, that was just ridiculous.
You got the spelling right... I think. I would argue that Ohrowchee's examples while not particularly tied to skill are preceded or followed by the player engaging in some intense combat or act as an effective segway regardless. Bosses for me, even in a skill driven game have a bit of lee way to dance on my expectations... Now, on that final QTE. That isn't something that I have an issue with given how many buttons we have been bashing from start to finish (for boss finishes), how we had a parallel with the The Wonderful Ones also bashing their buttons stupidly intensely and so on. What I definitely had an issue with was the flying section before it and the final stage of the boss. On Normal and Hard, we don't take that much damage (probably same damage on all modes Normal and up), but the control scheme is new not explained (it is something between standard flight and Platinum Robo but with no cursor or standard shooting). I die frequently on that despite it being short. I still have yet to get through it without using a continue (and I hate using continues in the game as they are super generous even if it takes half an hour or something to get back there - so many retries). Now the QTEs? They don't pretend to require skill for the most part and drop you back where you left off in most parts of the game (though the game could use a warning or more obvious cues for the few that can kill you even if the ones at the end of boss fights never seem to kill you). It is definitely a guilty pleasure of some sort, but TW101 manages to make it appealing in a lot of cases.
Are you going to make a Bayonetta review? I'd like to hear what you think about that game, I really like the way how you approach your reviews, giving much more focus to the technical aspects of the game such as how good it runs and dissecting the combat mechanics to its core. And since Bayonetta is basically a DMC with boobs, I'd like to know what you think about that game. And The Wonderful 101 as well.
Just as a heads up: I've heard tell of a mod for the PC version which DOES allow for dynamic, DMC4-esque style switching in DMC3. Yep. Devil May Cry 3 Style Switcher
All those people saying DmC has good combat dont even know what good combat really is. They did not use half of DMC4's moveset and think DmC is better because it does not HAVE the half mentioned.
Great Review, DMC3 and 4 are two of my favorite games ever, just hope capcom does DMC5 with Nero and Dante, lots, lots if ways the gameplay of these games can be further improved in sequels liked, favorited and fuck DmC
This is probably one of the best game reviews I've seen in any format. It's perfectly explains why this series is my favorite of all time and what makes them so great in my eyes.
You know it's kind of amusing to think this series plummeted twice before creating their series best games. DMC2 went on to become the road block before 3, then DmC happened, to becoming a distant nightmare before the Dawn that is 5. Hopefully it doesn't fail again and six is as good as 5.
"Face impossible odds, but do it with a cocky smile."
Words to live by.
well,its easy for Dante,being half demon and what not.Yeah,I'm fun at parties...
+Azriel PSX Just master a few martial arts and master gunplay and sword wielding. Oh and also have some armour and boom. Unstoppable. Just watch out for nukes and napalm.
Black Panther I wonder, could Dante survive a nuke?
Jake Cuervo yes, his jacket wouldn't even take damage
What DMC should be right now, not shoving microtransactions, rewarding the endless pockets and getting greedy by rewarding such... I won't be playing V nor 4SE for these reasons alone, not to mention... It runs past 60fps for the original PC release and does have Turbo Mode, its everything I need as well... Sorry, Lady, you were not implemented very well, Trish was kinda eh for me, Vergil is something I can return to with DMC3SE and has just as little impact outside of having actually been a part of the story, to begin with really. So thank god I can play this and I suppose... watch as Capcom fucks up DMCV by trying to fuck over the fans that have been waiting forever for a proper return, I'm sorry but I saw the writing on the wall with the Pachinko machine announcement not long back... Well they will find out the hard way I suppose
the ending speech to this video used to be so sad, but now its hopeful. DEVIL MAY CRY 5 NEXT YEAR BABY
WE BACK BOIS
Time to kick my own ass till I learn the characters again 😂
HELL YEAH WAAAAAAHO
YYEEEESSSSSS
GOTTA LET IT OUT GOTTA LET IT OUT
Capcom recently announced a list of 6 franchises they're focusing on and DMC is one of them. Given the reception and sales of DmC, it will probably be DMC5.
Noak Gröning One of their recent document www.gamespot.com/articles/capcom-lists-its-six-powerful-franchises-can-you-guess-what-they-are/1100-6419525/
***** Wow! This makes me happy! If it is DmC 2 though i will personally pirate and distribute it to my friends if it means damaging Capcom. If it is DMC5 and it is good! Then take my money.
Modern Capcom only means one thing for DMC right now... ON. DISC. DLC. DAY 1. CONTENT. FOR. RANSOM.
Ysarc
I suppose it will take some time. We had to wait some time for both DMC4 and DmC and second one is still pretty fresh games.
***** Yeah, they will have to make a crappy Resident Evil game, an Ultra Super SFV game and then we can hope for a DMC game.
11:32
HOLY SHIT.
PLEASE LET THIS BE INCLUDED ON THE XBOX ONE VERSION.
Maybe the Special Edition will also run at 60FPS. It better.
***** I'm just kind of poking fun at current gen consoles. That's all.
I love how the reboot hyped up the 60fps in the trailer but only for the Xbone and PS4 while DMC3+4 already have that like 6-9 years ago, seriously, they should stop pushing the Unreal Engine for every fucking game
Oh god, i played a little in the Legendary Dark Knight in one of my friend's house, and i got the same reaction of the GamingBrit, i pretty much orgasmed with the vision of destroying groups of demons ala Dinasty Warriors.
Zero The Bloodedge oh yeah, its even more awesome thanks to the gameplay
Rewatching this video after playing through DMC V.
, I actually started getting teary eyed at the end there :')
I got a mention.

Anyway, if DMC3 had style switching it would be fucking perfect. It has everything you could possibly want except that extra bit of combat complexity that DMC4 has.
A mod was released for PC and PCSX 2 which allows to do that.

darkrlos21 Isn't the PC version shitty?
HyperBitHero The port runs like an emulator would run it. Get it off steam and it runs just fine, never had a problem with it except having to re configure controller.
¿When did you get Josuke´s haircut?
darkrlos21 NOOOOOOO THEY DELETED IT!!!! T~T
This review makes angry joe's review of dmc look like he dosent know what he is talking about.
That is, unfortunately, probably because he doesn't. He's not a hack n slash/beat-em-up gamer. He's an MMO/RPG/Shooter player. He considered Lolipop Chainsaw worth the hype, but Bayonetta not worth it.
As much as I like Joe, he really shouldn't have dipped his toes into something he knows so little about. And it shows that he doesn't. It really, really does.
yeah i agree thanks for the comment
He really does not.
He gave DmC higher score than Bayonetta.
Don't trust him when it comes to core hack and slash mechanics, Joe is more like the reviewer for the average gamer. The reason I like his reviews is because he is very sincere and honest.
His Ride to Hell, Mindjack and Rambo: The Videogame reviews are entertainment gold.
he doeant. he makes "hilarious angry" reviews for children.
Bruce Wayne Now, that's not very fair. Plenty of intelligent adults watch his reviews for the same reason we all watch, play, listen to, or read anything. Entertainment.
And his rants, for the most part, are fairly accurate (when he knows what he's talking about, at least). So, cut Joe a little slack. He is trying, and some people do legitimately like his works.
As of February 20, 2020, Brit's wishes for Devil May Cry 3 in this oldass video have come true. Dreams do come true
Dante is an inspiration for Bollywood action movies
I'm actually part Indian
cool, bro
I'm part style meter
-_- don't even.....
I like trains.
So Legendary Dark Night mode is essentially DMC4: Dynasty Warriors edition?
Sweeeeet |D
10/10 I am crying with joy. Prefect video to describe why I loved both of these games.
Hemang Chauhan I feel you man :D
***** me to! ^_^
19:06 The year is 2019 and that game has arrived.
Gurren Lagann and Devil May Cry is a combination I didn't know I needed. Masterpiece of a video.
I also forgot to mention that devil may cry 3 actually did have a story with complex characters, the onlything was that we werer just droped into the middle of it and they behaved like real people I use real very loosely, it's obvious that the story started a year before 3 started. the reason vergil doesn't go into detail about his motive is because dante already knows it, and they are both after the same thing but different methods.
with the "Foolishness dante, foolishness. Might controls everything, without strength you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself. he doesn't need to tell dante he's wants power so he will never experience the helplessness of not being able to save the ones he loves(his mother, and possibly dante if vergil thought dante was dead after their home was destroyed). it is also clear that vergil wasn't trying to kill dante at the very least in the first and second encounter. since vergil has far more experience than dante, vergil knows how far their regeneration can be pushed without killing him, if vergil wanted dante dead he would have just decapitated him instead of impaling him, in fact the impaling seems more of his way of telling dante to stay here until I get back. infact I can imagine their parants scolding them when they had a fight going something like this "Dante, Vergil, how many times have I told you if your going to shed blood put plastic on the floor first!"
while dante starts off wanted to kick vergils ass for what happened a year ago and destroying his store/house. and resents his father to the point that he even says that he doesn't have a father, for either not being there to protect his family, or being the reason his his mother was killed. and after all the demons telling dante how great sparda was.
I can go on but I don't want to bore you, it's story telling is similar to a mixture of dark souls and devil may cry 1(I would have actually liked there to be notes or journals laying around for dante to read like in the first game). at first glance it's a shallow straight forward story without much explanations for the characters actions, but you start thinking about the meaning of each line of dialogue, it paints a very compeling story, with rich character with a good deal of depth
Couldn't have said it better myself. Nice summarization of why the plot's fantastic.
I had so much trouble reading that.
But yes I agree.
This is definitely one of your greatest videos to date. Not only do you analyze every single part of the combat for both games, you compared how todays hack and slashes handle Over the top scenarios which was honestly my favorite part of the video. And its funny how NT's PC DmC can FINALLY run at 60 fps, then you show how DMC 4 PC can run 4x or more faster. DMC 4 is one of the greatest PC ports ever, and DMC 3 and 4 are the best hack and slashes and beat em ups of all time.
DmC was native 30fps so increasing the fps in PC to 9000 still wouldn't make a difference apart from making it stable. same goes for DMC1-3 but they are all native 60fps, which is more than enough for a human eye to handle
Well... let's just say that my crappy notebook runs DMC4 in smooth, stable 50-70 FPS (biggest drops I've noticed were ~40 FPS in LDK mode and ~30 FPS while recording stuff with X-Fire... and it's a 2009 mediocore notebook with dual core CPU @ 2.1 GHz and GF130M we're talking about) with all graphic settings set to Very High (AA is turned off, though) while DmC runs like shite and looks like shite on Medium/Low. UE3 is indeed a great engine.
Maybe not the greatest PC port but a really damn good one! (Which is funny compared to 3's which I would say is as bad as Dark Souls). I can stream the game no prob with a constant 60 fps if not on LDK difficulty. PC version however, gives the Super costumes for DMD mode more stuff than just infinite DT!
It locks red queen's charge gauge at maximum while giving Dante infinite Disaster (Pandora) and Royal Guard gauge!
Someone finally accepted the fact that stuff like this are best when they're broken ^_^
sofija1996 IT uses UT framework, not unreal. Unreal is a very bloated product these days.
One thing we can agree on is that nero is much better than the reboot dante
I didn't really compare Nero to DmC Dante until the final battle of DMC5.
Alex Takahashi I don’t know how, Donte always felt closer to Nero than the character he’s supposed to be a reboot of.
@@Comkill117 i mean his basic combos were the same as Nero, XD
SantosOverlord exactly.
As an action game DmC stands well on its own, but as a Devil May Cry game, its an utter disapointment and this video does a great job summarizing that.
18:34 *thunderous applause
You have perfectly summarized my own feelings towards DMC4, DmC, hell even the franchise in general. It really is heartbreaking to see a series that had so much innovation and had so much potential for new games and advances in the combat system, for it simply to take several steps backwards with the reboot. The whole situation with the reboot (seeing comments and reactions from fans of it and the "journalists") has left me feeling jaded towards gaming in general. But I still also hope that we get a proper sequel to DMC4, which has mechanics and a combat system that builds upon the foundations of its predecessors. Until that day we can only dream.
Thanks for a well done analysis of these amazing games, and it's great to see you back!!!
Took a while, but wish granted, buddy :) Dream no more.
I can't be the only one that play the devil may cry games like a scrub but still love them.
+Alex Ruiz Same. I'm FAR from good at these games, but love them none the less
***** Cool.
+Alex Ruiz I just got the Special Edition of 4 a week ago and while I'm not good enough to do a combo video or anything, I am learning, I can do a few combos though nothing ridiculous. I'm sure you can be a pro if you put in the effort.
Brandon Ware I know I played dmc4 11 times now and in rare occasions the berial can kill me as nero.
Bern0d Well dmc5 isn't coming anytime soon so I might aswell try to use royal guard a bit more.
It's fun coming back to this video and the DMC4 segment in wake of DMC5's release.
*After seeing the review and listening that amazing speech*
Me: *Snif*
Someone: Are you crying?
Me: It's only the rain...
Someone (same one): The rain already stop.
Me: DMC Fans never cry.
Someone else: Even fans of the Reboot?
*Complete silence.... Cought...*
Seriously awesome review you did Brit ^_^ *Thumbs up*
If we get a DMC 5 I really hope Nero returns. I know some people didn't like him, but I loved him from the start. Maybe it was cause DMC 4 was my first DMC game. But I want his story to continue or at least support Dante in some way cause they go along great with one another. It would be awesome to see them work side by side in the entire story not just the end of it.
Nero is awesome! I like Dante's personnality more because... because it's Dante! But Nero is a real cool character as well! ^^
Nick Alcantar-Mccormick would be dissatisfying if they didn't. DMC4 was essentially Nero's story anyways.
Started this saga 13 years ago with the first DMC, played them all and while i was a bit sceptic about Nero at the beggining fearing another DMC2, as soon as i started playing i knew how awesome and fun he was to play as.
Nero haters are simply dumb.
wish granted
Nick Alcantar-Mccormick Boy do I have some news for you
Very good review! I feel like playing those games now.
You've touched on them just a tad here, but I'd actually love to see reviews of Bayonetta and Wonderful 101, since both were directed by the same guy behind the original DMC series (I believe...could just be Bayonetta).
nope both Bayo 1 and W101 are made by Kamiya-san
***** yea I know, the nope was mostly for him doing both Bayo and TW101, I knew about DMC and probably should have mentioned it as well now that I re-review the message. well he knows now lol
***** its cool man
the same guy that made the cutscenes for DMC 3 made cutscenes for Bayonetta as well... which shouldnt really be surprising me now that I think about it xD
DMC was an accident, it's time for Devil May Cry 5 capcom!!
***** irony...theyre not american
Making dmc's american commentary offensive.
***** im aware, doesnt change that they were indirectly insulting our inteligence if they thought their changes and political commentary on someone elses society would be appealed to us americans, was not the least bit offensive.
***** I'm American, and even I thought it was an embarrassment.
Nah that game was great, I wish they would make a sequel to it. But it didn't sell well, and DMC fans are at fault.
CornishCreamtea07 actually plenty of dmc fans played DmC devil may cry, also
Let me suggest 2 videos for you to show how very wrong you are.
DmC video Analysis - the gameplay
I have never played so much as a second of a DMC game before, but I did see your previous DMC videos and greatly enjoyed them. And I gotta say, 75% of this video I was utterly and completely lost. I could barely keep up with your explanation of the games' depth and complexity, sometimes delving into technobabble to my uninitiated ears.
And you know what? I don't give a fuck, because I couldn't keep from smiling the whole way through. Your passion and love for these games just oozes out, and you don't need to understand a goddamn word you say in order to know that.
Oh, and I love the Gurren Lagann thing you've got going with Dante and the music. He does remind me a lot of Kamina, so it's a very appropriate choice. That, and Gurren Lagann just kicks ass.
I'm definitely subbing now, how can anyone ever dislike this vid
I know right!?
Just getting into the dmc and bayonetta series. These games are so deep in mechanics it can be pretty overwhelming at times!
Devil May Cry 3 is such a huge improvement over 1, and I love it. I hated the camera system in 1, and even that was better.
+Hayden Onion Some things are improvements. Others, like the enemy design in 3, just makes me sad, compared to DMC1.
Potidaon DMC1 did have some really awesome enemy designs. The puppet looking demons were really cool.
Michael McCallister They didn't just look awesome, but they were well-designed from a gameplay perspective as well.
Take the Marionette in DMC1 for example. It had five different attack:
- a short range two-hit cutting/swiping attack
- a mid-range spinning move that does multiple hits
- a long-range weapon throw/shotgun shot
- a grab attack that did multiple hits
- a warcry-like AoE that stuns Dante for several seconds.
Defensive options include:
- Block
- Block & counter attack
Compare with DMC3 and 4:
Hell Pride has two. One defensive option (blocking).
Scarecrow - Arm has three attacks. Two defensive options (dodge, block).
Scarecrow - Leg has two. One defensive option (block).
+Potidaon yeah, it's always a shame to see a series that's great in almost every title always miss 1 thing between each of them. DMC1's expanded enemy roster, DMC3's numerous weapons, styles and story pacing, and DMC4's style switch in a fifth installment would be spectacular. especially if it comes with all five DMC4 SE characters out of the box, plus a new one original to the game, each with their own story, even if they're shorter.
This was a very fun video to watch. I am glad you did another review for these games. I've starting watching your videos and it is a very great watch seeing you go through all of these.
you just blew my mind when you mentioned Stands.(monstly because I've only discovered jojo recently). now I want nero's dt to say ORA ORA ORA ORA while punching enemies
Was hoping you'd take a deeper look into the series after the retrospective, and I have to say you really did the series justice.
Very well made, didn't skim over anything important and had a fucking perfect outro. This should be shown to anyone wanting to get into this series.
I think it's fair to say you're a PhD in Devil May Cry.
This is hands down the most exciting and sincere DMC review I've ever watched.
Man tears listening to you praising both games in the right places where they deserve it.
Anyway... Dante's Distortion. I've read in some places people saying it's gone in PC ports of either original DMC4 or SE, but (I admit I'm a noob, tried this on 1st run Devil Hunter mode) it seemed like it still works? Did away 1/2 or 2/3 of Dagon's health with 1 DRI (Distorted Real Impact) and got Savior's chest core in 2-3 DRI.
Considering the implementation of FreeStyle mode in current releases of DMC3, clearly some at Capcom agrees with your criticism of the Style system there.
So glad to see you back in all of your reviewing glory! I'm actually really happy that you did a more updated version on your impression of DMC3 and 4; as much as I loved the original reviews, this one is much more polished, and it was both enjoyable and informative. :)
Great review GB, I wished you talked a little about Dante's and Vergil's relationship; I think they have one of the best relationships/chemistry in gaming. Anyways, what's your favorite style in DMC3?
Dante & Vergil are the best polar opposite identical twins ever!
Agreed
Glad to see you back :D. Amazing video as always and I hope there is more to come.
Thank God the day has come
DarthCanis hell yeah I'm so hyped for the game
I do enjoy this. Good job on giving DMC 3 and 4 the depth and analysis it deserves. I don't think I've seen anyone explain it in this much detail and it's something I've always wanted to see.
So uh, when is his DMCV review coming?
Awesome review btw. Captures every great thing about DMC3/4 quite perfectly unlike any other reviews. This makes me happy.
Thanks for saying all the stuff I wanted to say Brit. Finally someone talks about these games brilliance!
The switch port is ironically the best version of DMC 3 because you can style switch on the fly
Besides the fact that you reminded me of those dark 50 HZ-only days this video was really awesome. I love, LOVE how you go into the mechanics in a detailed explanation. I miss this in reviews almost all the time. That's how you do Character Action reviews!
Here's a random list of what I'd love to see Capcom do for Devil May Cry 5... Random, I know, but here you go!
1. Make Dante the star. He is the embodiment of Devil May Cry, and we've all made clear why he's one of the best action heroes in gaming. Let him run loose again, give him more weapons, continue to tweak and perfect his moveset from DMC4 and expand upon it. Don't flood him with too much filler moves like in DmC, but give us enough from the start to be able to pull off SSStylish fairly. Also include more moves for his Devil Trigger form like flying on command. And if Capcom's going to make the game take place after DMC2, then they'd better write him as the Dante we know and love in the story. Cocky, witty, goofy, funny, sometimes grumpy and jaded like in the anime, but sincere and with as much heart as his half-human side can give.
2. More level variety, unique areas for each flippin' character this time and some creative themes. Hell, they should allow the player to go into the Demon World again and explore increasingly hellish areas toward the end. Need I say more?
3. Keep Nero. He needs a seperate campaign from Dante that can still tie in with his story if need be, and levels that are built around his Devil Bringer mechanic. Maybe give him more moves too, just enough for added variety.
4. Allow all previous playable characters to return, preferably with their own levels and campaigns (maybe not as long as the star himself). Trish, Lady, Vergil, even Lucia. They can tweak Lucia's unique fighting style to better fit the more refined gameplay of 3 and 4, plus her Devil Trigger, kicks and knife attacks were cool.
5. Include Sparda himself in some way. Whether it's an entire campaign based around him or something else, let us finally get to play as him. Maybe make his own story take place before he marries Eva, where he takes on Mundus and his demon army.
6. Bring Mundus and Vergil back in the story. It's hinted at that Nero is the son of Vergil, so what if the story revolves around Dante enlisting the help of Nero and the others to storm hell and kill Mundus once and for all to free humanity from the demons that constantly pour through to the human world. Dante also promises Nero that he'll get to meet his father if they save him. And as for Mundus, he's most threatening without a true definable form, and he never truly materialised in DMC1, but when his statue body broke and his eye-riddled flesh poured out, you knew there was way more to him than that. Make his true form something really nightmarish and haunting, Just don't give us the shitty Lex Luthor wannabe from the reboot.
7. This is more of an alternate idea, but... Just like Dante can switch between weapons on the fly, what if you could do the same with the characters? Hell it doesn't need to take up the entire game, it could be its own dedicated mode somehow, maybe a bonus to include in the Bloody Palace or even a "Final Battle" campaign.
8. More bosses. A solid variety of bosses like what we got in Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. Each one as enjoyable if not more exciting than the last, each offering a unique yet thrilling and fair fight.
9: Legendary Dark Knight mode. I'm loving it in DMC4SE, and I want it back in the next game, even on consoles. I don't know how, but it's gotta happen. Maybe a PS4 Pro and XBONE Scorpio feature?
10. This is a personal one, but include some characters from the anime series somehow, like Patty, Dante's agent Morrison, and maybe even a cameo from the diseased villain Sid. They could all fit in somehow, I'm sure. Maybe make Patty own several shops where she can provide Dante and co with what they need, and Morrison could be the one who gives Dante info about a job, where they later discover Mundus is behind the disturbance? I dunno, I just really like the show... Madhouse should make another series.
11. Don't pander to casuals by dumbing down the combat system in any way. Include a training mode for inexperienced players and a story chart in-game if they need to read up on the backstory of the previous games as abbreviated as possible
12. Most importantly, include a scene or an interactive section where Dante gets to beat the living shit out of DmC Dante. That alone will forever cement DMC5 as game of the year all year every year.
Feel free to discuss more ideas of what you would like to see in Devil May Cry 5, which is definitely going to be a thing because Capcom has no choice now.
NintendanGX I love your idea of different campaigns for each character, capcom has done that setup before with resi 6 and in my opinion that worked very well. I say make Dante's full length like maybe a little shorter than dmc3 and then make the others maybe half that length. Then obviously they could make the story involve all the characters and have every campaign reveal things about the overarching plot. Also after dmc4 SE came out with 5 characters it would be a shame to abandon the work put into their movesets. I just hope the game happens haha
NintendanGX all I want is Dante as the protagonist vergil as the antagonist, throwing sparda in would be cool, level design of the first game or the third game, combat of the same level as 4 and everything else you said
Bring Back Nelo Angelo's soundtrack... what I'm a simple man give me my ultra violet god damn it.
There's apparently a mod for DMC3 on Steam where you can switch styles on the fly. Don't know how it works but sounds cool!
Hmm, I start rewatching all the Gaming Brit videos and a new one is released the next day. Coincidence? I think not.
This is the correct review of the devil may cry series. I saw your previous ones and saw a progression of a guy who skimmed through the games making first impression type of observations, commenting about some story details and such evolve into a guy who loves the franchise covering the at first glance minor but at core essential details, like how essential taunts were to the atmosphere and what made the combat system so great. This is by far the best review covering the series.
18:34 - 19:31 (sniff) That shit was beautiful man.
Indeed :') , putting Gurren Lagann's With your Drill pierce the heavens! (There are two versions) can make anything seem beautiful lol
+bluhmer1990 I know the song playing here is from Gurren Lagann but what's the track name?
dmc3 is a legendary game !!
This video aged beautifully
You have some of the best edited TH-cam videos I've ever seen
Man, this video was awesome! It really makes me wanna see you do a re-review of DmC:DMC since you're now so much better at DMC as a whole. You be able to tear it apart in new and exciting ways!
Also, Alarmhat's videos are gone. He did some great videos covering how bad DmC was but he just up and left TH-cam it seems.
I always thought it was terminated,shame...he was a great guy, wonder what he does now. Too bad nobody saved his vids, they were a great analysis on the subject matter of Stylish action games.
Agreed. Rip Alarmhat.
Glad to see you back man. I love the new look!
"We still havnt had that perfect dmc game"
We do now boys, and that party was CUHRAZY
thumbs up for the TTGL song at the end! amazing review!
Devil may cry 3 was perfect
Nope
indeed it is
It was as close to perfect as it could have possibly been.
ATOM K Why nope?
Devil May Cry 3 had the best combat without question. It never stopped along with that absolutely rocking soundtrack. That said though Dante has a few lines that just make me want to choke him with a sock puppet, like in the first game he was a smart ass who'd give a wise ass remark but in DMC3 he never stops with the one liners. Some of his jokes are funny but not all of them.
Sir i congratulate you on this amazing review, bravo
5 years later a nintendo switch port appears and incorporates all styles, weapons and guns all equipped on the fly+ a co-op mode for bloody palace. imo the switch version is the best version of dmc3 as of 2020
This video made me go back and play DMC3 & DMC4 all over again!
Thanks GamingBrit! Keep up the excellent work! DEVILS NEVER CRY! :D
I honestly hope somehow the creator of Devil mar Cry 3 and 4 see this video some way. I think they would love to hear this. ^^
He knows...he (they actually, Kobayashi and Itsuno) knows and right now tries to make his own franchise, Sengoku BASARA reach a level that says "please don't stab me at a backalley and fondle my corpse Capcom" at the moment.
If it pleases anyone to hear, Sengoku BASARA, upon reaching its current incarnation, SB4, has a gameplay system that is almost as deep as DMC3 but for a slightly different genre.
RiderWithTheScarf its a shame that people really wont be able to play sengoku basara because it being pegged as a dynasty warriors knockoff when it has an insane amount of depth rivaling devil may cry, but with more characters so i guess you could say it surpasses it. too many gamers are shallow now a days, always jumping to the "it looks like this game i played so i dont need to play this one" mentality.
After watching your DMC 5 reaction video, I came back and watched this. Perfect how you ended this my guy, made the DMC fan in me smile!!!
DMC4 may have better combat system but DMC3 is still the better game. DMC4 suffers from really bad level design, which along with the high learning curve, just makes the overall experience frustrating to say the least. Basically, you need to be good at the game in order to derive pleasure from it. DMC3 on the other hand is fun not matter how skilled you are as a player. I can die numerous times and I just want to keep on playing. 08:26 - 08:52 pretty much sums up why this is, perfectly. The game encourages you to get better, whereas DMC4 just makes everything feel like a chore.
thing is DMC4 is unfinished, i heard that the one we're playing now is only 40% of the actual thing :/
*****
I'm excited for Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition!
I hope it's already finished.
we all hope so man
The ideal DMC game would pretty much be the core gameplay of 4 crossed with the style, design and amount of content from 3. Hopefully that's the game we'll get someday because they have the track record of being able to make the individual parts that could build up perhaps the best action game yet.
LukeMM95 The most important thing of any game is gameplay, dmc4 have the best gameplay, so it''s the better game, just deal with it, maybe not the better experience, but like I said, it's gameplay what matters, even more on the hack and slash genre, dmc4 is the street fighter 3 of street fighter, the better street but not the most popular, or the most accessible, or the better experience for the normal/cassual players but they have the best gameplay.
Wow this was an amazing review. You went into so much detail that I couldn't even explain why I love DMC.
Just imagine a DMC 5 with the Combat depth of DMC4, with the Level of Content and Boss Battles of Bayonetta 2. Every Hack&Slash game fans wet dream.
I think God might've heard you.
And now here we are, with a dmc3 se switch version with style switching on the go and multi weapons switching as well.
That and a co-op option for bloody palace with the sons of Sparda.
You know what? Capcom should release a multi-platform version and/or physical copy of this version, titled "special freestyle edition".
Liked immediately before watching because: 1) This was uploaded on my birthday!, and 2) It's a Gaming Brit video, so of course its gonna be entertaining! :D
DMC5 did exactly that and even more :) I cannot praise it enough
I love that game.... Man the boss fights are sooo amazing. Though I wish they maintained that Gothic environment rather than the modern settings
i shed a tear at the end, beautiful review brit
I see you don't like QTE. i already like you a lot :)
Dude I've missed you, keep up with content. It's better than you think.
easily the best review of dmc3/4
all the blind hate towards 4 is sickening, to be honest between dmc3se and 4 there is no clear winner and you did a great job at showing us why
now.....REVIEW BAYONETTA!!!!!
It's great to see you back and better then ever if I must say TheGamingBritShow
This was without a doubt one of your best video's to date. Not only are you providing some background information with the difference's between different versions/regions, you also give a little back story behind the game's development cycle and history. All that with solid facts and reasoning with good example's for show, really go to show just how great DMC3 & DMC4 are.
I have to agree though with your last bit. As much as I love DMC4, it really does leave one wondering just how far they could have taken the series with that particle installment (given how the game we have is basically only 40% complete). Well with any luck, we'll see DMC5 at some point hopefully.
Fuck yeah, JoJo reference!
Just that? Nero is blatantly Ichigo and Kyrie is Orihime from Bleach(even have the same voice actors) and his hand actually has Demon hands powers from Hell Teacher Nube...and those + JoJo are the obvious references! XD
Never change Japan, never change, keep being awesome.
RiderWithTheScarf lets not forget
He also voiced the main protagonist of persona 4, which has simular concepts to jojo. Oh, and he's a former power ranger with his own rockin band(which might explain the air guitars)
DeathgGod
Yeah, Persona are referencing JoJo like it's nobody's bussiness. XD
Let's not forget that Ichigo also owned a guitar and he often played with his buddy Chad but never was in a band, Nero also references many other Shounen Heroes with his Busters, the most famous ones being the Hyakuretsuken from Hokuto no Ken and the combination of that with his "Stand" to create the ultimate punching barrage, as if Kenshiro had Jotaro's STar Platinum and both did Hyakuretsukens. XD
RiderWithTheScarf or...or
Jhonny yong bosch
Voice, stunt, and motion capture actor of nero, who happens to be in a band suggested air guitaring
DeathgGod
Aha, going for that I see, very well *(puts on nerd glasses)* :
Dante, apart from being a mixture of Cobra, Indiana Jones and a bit of Reuben Langdon himself, Reuben is not only the voice and MoCap of Dante, he was a Henshin Hero back in the day for the japanese Metal Hero show B-Fighter Kabuto, used for footage for Beetleborgs Metalix and along with his own stunt team consisting of Dan Southworth(Vergil and Credo's MoCap) he provided MoCap and suit acting for Kamen Rider Dragon Knight which Johny Young Bosch provided voice acting for the video game as Kit Taylor. Also, the Dreadnought form kinda references the B-Fighter Kabuto's more bulky fighters.
Also Dante's Pandora and Coyote-A movesets are taken and updated from the movesets of Sengoku BASARA's No-Hime, a game where Date Masamune is based of Dante, and finally his Gilgamesh moveset now consists of moves found in SF Ken's Super / Ultra moves, who Reuben Langdon MoCaps, voices and acted as for SF4.
And finally about Nero, he faces of against Credo, the big brother of Kyrie when he became a monster and had dialogue and a showdown reminiscent to what Ichigo went through when Orihime was attacked by her own brother-turned-hollow. Also, the way he handles his weapons and uses his own dexterity is akin to how Nube uses his hands when he exposes his Demon Hand, almost never touching anything human with his right demonic hand unless it's to heal and everything that is human and man-made with his left hand. Oh and the way he handles Red Queen and Yamato in the cutscenes, reminescent of how Ichigo fights with his Shikai and Bankai on crack.
You turn sir.
This review was so satisfying man thanks a lot xD
Capcom needs to watch this video before starting development on DMC5.
I don't want them to add QTEs or gimmicky bullshit.
Hands down, BEST video u've EVER done! Liked and Favorited!
After watching this, I've now understood why DMC5 story and level designs were highly praised. At first I was a little disappointed with the bland Qlipoth levels and nonsensical story that just circles around the main characters. But after watching this and your DMC5 review, I'm beginning to accept that DMC5 IS the perfect DMC game, and I should spend hours and hours on it like I did on DMC3 back in the day.
Bland? I thought the Qliphoth had a bizarre organic HR Giger-esque appearance that never got boring.
FREAKING. AMAZING. REVIEW!!
Man, you rock!!!
You should be making videos more frequently. Your content is awesome.
“Pandora might as well be a combat system all by itself…” I’m actually surprised that never happened for DMC5. Who knows maybe we’ll see Pandora return for DMC6.
TIME HAVE FINALLY COME
great and fitting way for the Brit to come back! :D Awesomesauce
(last comment i swear) I have never seen anyone describe so Perfectly how Devil May Cry 3 and especially 4 feel. I have never agreed with anyone as much as i agreed with you in this video. And above all you used music from Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan AGAAIN!!!! REALLY? Like thats the best match for DMC after its own soundtrack.
Great video man, like the new intro too. Don't mind that they take so long because you clearly put a lot of effort into them.
Those QTEs in TW101 were still kind of fun though... they shouldn't have been but..yeah..
Depends on the execution, purpose and consistency of the QTEs.
For the most part, TW101 got them right by using them to cap off boss fights where the narrative will have to play out, having an funny fail state, tying them into Unite Morphs and having some of the ones that can occur during normal combat parts potentially be cancelled or have a reason to occur...
Remember the Hah-Gonay (dragon like foes introduced a bit before Wonder White), the concept for opening up their armour when they close it wouldn't have worked nearly as well if they only required one press of the Y button as it would imply a complete lack of resistance. For it works, you can open it fast by bashing faster so you can get to attack it faster or alternatively not press anything and fail so you can get back to running around the environment.
Yeah, stuff like drawing the shapes in QTEs works because it's still using the mechanics of the game. But I meant even in the examples he showed of pushing Ohrowchee [not sure about that spelling] against the building and stabbing it's eye they're a bit of a guilty pleasure.
Especially the final QTE, that was just ridiculous.
You got the spelling right... I think.
I would argue that Ohrowchee's examples while not particularly tied to skill are preceded or followed by the player engaging in some intense combat or act as an effective segway regardless. Bosses for me, even in a skill driven game have a bit of lee way to dance on my expectations...
Now, on that final QTE. That isn't something that I have an issue with given how many buttons we have been bashing from start to finish (for boss finishes), how we had a parallel with the The Wonderful Ones also bashing their buttons stupidly intensely and so on.
What I definitely had an issue with was the flying section before it and the final stage of the boss. On Normal and Hard, we don't take that much damage (probably same damage on all modes Normal and up), but the control scheme is new not explained (it is something between standard flight and Platinum Robo but with no cursor or standard shooting). I die frequently on that despite it being short.
I still have yet to get through it without using a continue (and I hate using continues in the game as they are super generous even if it takes half an hour or something to get back there - so many retries).
Now the QTEs? They don't pretend to require skill for the most part and drop you back where you left off in most parts of the game (though the game could use a warning or more obvious cues for the few that can kill you even if the ones at the end of boss fights never seem to kill you).
It is definitely a guilty pleasure of some sort, but TW101 manages to make it appealing in a lot of cases.
Are you going to make a Bayonetta review? I'd like to hear what you think about that game, I really like the way how you approach your reviews, giving much more focus to the technical aspects of the game such as how good it runs and dissecting the combat mechanics to its core.
And since Bayonetta is basically a DMC with boobs, I'd like to know what you think about that game. And The Wonderful 101 as well.
Nice new intro. I was grinning like an idiot when you said "Devils Never Cry".
ohhh JoJo's bizarre adventure reference! man I like this guy!
That was probably the deepest look into a video game I've ever seen. Well done, sire.
Just as a heads up: I've heard tell of a mod for the PC version which DOES allow for dynamic, DMC4-esque style switching in DMC3.
Yep.
Devil May Cry 3 Style Switcher
Best devil may cry review of all TH-cam ( trust me i've watch them all )
Good job man
I would like to see your opinion on Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101 in the future.
And God of War
Dzzy123 God of War? More like God of Bore! Ha ha ha, uh... I'm so sorry.
i appreciated this video so much, i feel exactly the same as you & i hope the original can come back in its full glory
All those people saying DmC has good combat dont even know what good combat really is. They did not use half of DMC4's moveset and think DmC is better because it does not HAVE the half mentioned.
This is without a doubt, one of the best video game reviews I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Extremely detailed & interesting
Great Review, DMC3 and 4 are two of my favorite games ever, just hope capcom does DMC5 with Nero and Dante, lots, lots if ways the gameplay of these games can be further improved in sequels
liked, favorited and fuck DmC
This is probably one of the best game reviews I've seen in any format. It's perfectly explains why this series is my favorite of all time and what makes them so great in my eyes.
Well since we're getting Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition...
Awesome, funny and very clever review!
You know it's kind of amusing to think this series plummeted twice before creating their series best games. DMC2 went on to become the road block before 3, then DmC happened, to becoming a distant nightmare before the Dawn that is 5. Hopefully it doesn't fail again and six is as good as 5.
Hey! A GamingBrit video! FINALLY! It's been too long since you last uploaded.
Review DMC4 SE when it comes out!
Damn, you just earned a sub dude great work
