Speaking of eat, I PRAY Pizza Tower’s coming after this marathon. That game was pretty much made specifically for you Johnny! A 2D Sonic game with a Devil May Cry combo system? Sounds like the perfect Somecallmejohnny game if you ask me.
POGGERS
*Squidward voice*
"Eat!
EAAAT!!
_EAAAAAAT~!!!"_
@@joshuaheins4018 Well, it's main inspiration is actually the Wario Land games, (Specifically 4), but yes, its also infused highspeed platforming, akin to a Sonic or a Jazz Jackrabbit, and has combo system.
Johnny actually played the Old Sage Demo, if I recall.
Eat.
“Why is this game two discs?”
It actually is kind of fun watching someone go into a game blind.
I agree. I watch his reaction of "Is it huge?" and laugh at what he doesn't know.
It's not fully blind cause SGB did do a LP of the game but it has been a fat minute
@@spaciouswheat4580 He said he's never played it, himself
@@spaciouswheat4580 We're referring to his reaction to Devil May Cry 2 having 2 discs. He's seen Devil May Cry 1 on BSC and SGB, but they never played 2 (Lewis keeps wanting to skip it, but nobody would let him, poor guy), so he's still going into most of the series blind.
i actually kinda like DMC2, but with how he looked at DMC1 i've given up hope of him seeing good in that
Nothing says Mother's Day like slaying demons and getting motivated. Happy Mother's Day, Johnny's mom!
When you think about;
This series main driving point for Dante going on an Adventure was because "Yo, this chick looks like my Mom."
(And said Mother did stop the Twins from fighting each other in 5, if I recall.)
@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster
Technically Her Grandson
@@Mekboy_ComputerMonster
Uh, her grandson. Vergil's son
To be fair, Dante did say Trish looks like his Mom so that makes it... kind of relevant... or twisted now I think about it.
**EVEN IF THAT GIRLFRIEND IS YOUR MOTHER'S APPEARANCE?!?!??!? LE GASPS** >8O
Finally, Johnny gets to experience the best PS2 trilogy.
- Devil May Cry
- Shin Megami Tensei III
- Devil May Cry 3
A fantastic trilogy of games.
Quadrilogy, we gotta count Viewtiful Joe too.
@@Comkill117 Ah yeah. I know it's a Hideki Kamiya game, but I forgot Dante is in that one. Also a great game.
I loved dmc3 but only up to very hard. After that wasn't isn't fun. I'm about to try 1 when I leave work. I just want to blast the hd graphics on pc and let myself finally enjoy the first game. Anyone think it's worth my free time?
@@titaniumcranium3755 It's not as complex from a gameplay standpoint but yeah i'd say it's worth going through at least once if you're a fan of the series. It's got a really distinct atmosphere compared to the other games and it's not that long or difficult.
@@Comkill117 i know I’m a year late but I couldve sworn this was a five piece meal? Are we forgetting UMVC3?
20:08 You can switch between Alastor and Ifrit on the fly by pressing the right stick without needing to go through the menu
Is it mentioned in the game at all? Im curious if it did and i just missed it.
@@abdulazizmari9021 It's not, that I'm aware of. I'm not sure if it's even listed in the controls. I didn't find out it was a thing until years after my first playthrough.
Actually it does tell you how to do that but it's in the pause menu
Even then it actively is a worse idea than using the menu as it's pretty slow AND in real time during gameplay
@@abdulazizmari9021 it is mentioned in the switch port control scheme
Johnny looking at Devil May Cry? This party’s getting crazy! Let’s rock!
Baby
Fun fact: Tony Redgrave would be the human alias for Dante in the series. This doesn't get talked about much within the games, though 5 does bring mention to it.
And the anime

THIS BETTER BE ONE HELL OF A PARTY
I never understand how without fail that Wesker "Stop It" manages to floor me everytime
Mine is always the "Jill Sandwich" line from Barry XD
Stahp it....
It's funny because the way he said it makes it seem like Chris hurt his feelings.
bro is so hurt
@@icantthinkofagoodusername.6658 Wesker never really cared about complete global saturation, he just wanted to impress Chris.
Even with the comical acting, there are certain lines I like out of context. "Tears are a gift only humans have" alone keeps this game so memorable
Don't forget that ending line. Hopefully you know which one I mean, regarding DMC. Voice-crack and all.
Dante: “Alright let’s wrap this up in 10 minutes, can’t let a single one of those suckers live.”
Trish: “Five minutes.”
Dante: (Chuckles) “More than enough!”
I love that
Imagine Dante and Leon Kennedy having a verbal sparring match. The sass would be off the charts.
Dorktastic Dork (ft One Liners) vs Greasy, Smelly Hobo goated with the SASS and the SOS and the SWAAS
Leon is certainly no slouch but he could never stand up to Dante in a snark-off.
Wacky Woohoo Pizza Man vs Worst First Day on the Job Ever.
Johnny's videos are the one to fill my dark Sundays with LIIIIGGHTT!!
You beat me to it, but I accept it. It's a meme that is just too beautiful.
19:54 You don't actually need to be locked on to an enemy to do a dodge roll, nor does it matter what weapons Dante is using. If you hold down the lock-on button, Dante can still strafe and dodge roll regardless of enemy presence. All you have to do while holding the lock-on button is press the jump button while having Dante strafe to his left or his right.
He's asking why the dodge roll can only be used while holding the lock-on button, which is when you pull out your guns.
@@noahdavis7406 Dante always has his guns out regardless of the lock-on button being held. The only time he puts them away is when you’re attacking with the sword. Other than that, he’s always holding a gun in at least one hand.
@@ZeroKnight95 Even though I didn't remember that, it's not really the point he seemed to be making.
I'm pretty sure he meant specifically pointing the guns at enemies.
@@noahdavis7406 I always thought that “having guns out” simply meant the guns being held, not aiming them specifically? If he said “only while holding the lock-on button”, I would’ve understood that better.
@@ZeroKnight95 It was the implication that he had to be locked on to roll. He was saying it that way for a funny bit.
ITS TIME TO GET MOTIVATED
LETS ROCK
I NEED MORE POWER
A storm is approaching
GET READY TO PULL YOUR DEVIL TRIGGER.
JACKPOT
We kick start this marathon on Mother's day and the first game involves Dante getting a request from a clone of his mother. This is too fitting.
Yeah Hideki Kamiya developed games having enemies attack you off screen is sadly a running theme that was not let go. Also since Johnny didn't mention this: If you happen to use a Healing item (Which you can only carry one of each type for context) on mission 1 or die and use a Yellow Orb (which drops you off at the room you entered) in the first 2 missions or two yellow orbs in the 3rd mission, the game asks you if you want to switch to Easy Automatic.
If you do switch, Dante takes less, deals more, some more deadly enemies don't appear, your melee combos are performed automatically, you can hold square to fire your guns, you start with 5 blue orbs and 3 purple orb taken from the shop, and you can carry more items.
In exchange, your LOCKED into the difficulty, and after beating the game, you can only NG+ into Easy Automatic again. Also on a normal playthough, you can only NG+ into higher difficulties, with no way to return to older difficulties unless you start a New Game. It wouldn't be until DMC2 where Mission Select is a thing.
old games were wild, they can be mostly fine and then have the one wretched thing
I'm so stoked for Johnny to tackle Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness! Those games need full-hour essays, they're so underloved!
I really hope Johnny's having a good 2023 so far. All those videos this year have been straight bangers and you can feel he's having a good time.
Mental health is important
7:18 Oh God, I can still hear John holding back that loud laugh from the SGB LP! 🤣
The fact that it was Johnny's first time hearing the original delivery is what cemented that moment as one of their funniest LPs.
Bro I’ve been waiting since 2016 for a Johnny Vs Devil May Cry Video for the longest and now the time has finally come, Thank You Johnny 😎
its always good to get up in the morning, eat breakfast and find out that johnny posted a video an hour before i have to go to work. hope the day goes well for you man and everyone else readin' this
playing this for the first time was so good, i love the atmosphere and music of DMC1 the most
Preach I love the gothic horror ascetic it goes for.
It has by far the best environments and music in the whole franchise. A really unique vibe no doubt partially made due to DMC originating out of a "failed" RE4.
Absolutely agreed there.
As a person that has read (listened to) the Divine Comedies, pretty much all that's the same is that the protagonist is named Dante (who IRL is actually the author of the works), a guy named Virgil (who in the Divine Comedy is not related to Dante at all, he's an IRL poet that Dante (the author) admired and was written to simply guided Dante (the character) through hell), and the fact there a hell/underworld theme going on. It's otherwise entirely unrelated.
Maybe Sparda or Dante’s mom really liked the Divine comedy lol.
DMC 1 will always be one of my favorite games bc of how much I struggled w DMD, beating that shi had me feelin so accomplished i could never forget it if I tried
Saaaaaame, tho there was a bit of anger at some of the things in DMD. Mundus in particular took me an entire day to beat, and Nelo 3 can fuck right off (without items at least).
@@antelasic1950 It's weird, everyone complain about Nelo 3 but I found griffon 2 and 3 much more difficult.
@@emilefoy-legault1031 Oh Griffon 3 is also really difficult, mostly due to the camera angels. I just didn't have as hard of a time there as with Nelo 3. It was bs since you can't see his god damn attacks, but it never felt like a wall to me like Nelo did. That fight feels like it goes on for half an hour and if you mess up one, congratulations, you're dead. Start over.
But the most shocking thing after my dmd run, was that my favorite dmc 1 boss turned out to be Nightmare. Not joking.
Every time I lost to him I always felt it was my fault unlike the rest. He has the best camera angles, almost all of his attacks can be countered to stun him but you risk damaging yourself (high risk high reward), and his core mechanic is really interesting and complex (tho good luck figuring it out without having it explained by a guide or something). And even the attack that makes you fight old bosses has a degree of strategy. First it gives you more orb (great for S ranks), and they're weaker then their normal fight but also deal a lot of damage to nightmare, and I think it allows you to do damage without damaging his cores.
@@emilefoy-legault1031 griffon 3 took a lot of tries to beat but I got cheesed out a whole lot more by Nero Angelo 3 fs
No better way to end a Sunday with Johnny's review.
except with a gunshot
Johnny, as someone whose video feed is currently flooded with Tears of the Kingdom videos, I’m actually GLAD that you started this DMC marathon.
It’s a game you want to talk about, and you’re giving a proper analysis, instead of shouting “ILOVEITILOVEITILOVEIT” like every online journalist! XD
Yep, I meandered for a few minutes in TOTK to see the inciting incident, went “meh” at how typical it was, and after the initial bridge raising on Sky Island, shelved it till I finish my backlog of Code Vein and Advance Wars Reboot.
That’s the good thing about video games; they’ll be there for us long after mainstream attention has passed.
Yeah it would be nice if TH-cam could stop spamming me with videos from a game I don't care to see more of.
Oh god
You’re in for a treat with DMC 2
Also the reason why there’s two discs is because one is for the main campaign and the other is for another character’s campaign
Either way, looking forward to seeing the rest of your Devil May Cry Retrospective it’s always fun hearing the opinions of someone who isn’t that familiar with certain franchises
“You’re in for a treat with DMC 2” this is sarcasm right?
@@kevinnigins9488 Yup
Sarcasm 100
When you compress DMC2's two discs their combined size is around 2.4GB
So they literally didin't even need to make 2 discs, they just did it to allow faster load times.
I'm really glad I looked into DMC2's development because it really puts things into perspective.
Like wow. The higher-ups at Capcom being dumb isn't that much of a surprise, but the miracle of how DMC2 actually managed to become a playable game was eye-opening.
I wish they remade this game already. A DMC 1 remake with more polished mechanics, more consistent writing that's in line with DMC 3-5 and that RE Engine goodness would be SSSensational
“The jump button is triangle, wtf?”
TotK: *sweats nervously*
Looking forward to the rest of this Marathon, Johnny, especially when you get to DMC3 since that was actually where I started with the series
The original controls are actually real intuitive. I can flip from 1 to the rest with no problem. Love the game, the series.
Also your dodge has always been the jump. has invincibility frames. Still used today, the jump is invaluable
A new Somecallmejohnny video always fills my dark soul with LIGHT!!!
Very excited to see Johnny play the DMC series! It's definitely a series that takes some getting used to but, when you do, it's one hell of a good time.
That being said, calling DMC1 antiquated is pretty on the mark. Pretty much everything that the game tries/introduces is improved upon later in the series. Plus all of the stuff that is not made obvious to the player: like switching main weapons with R3, the perfect charge on Ifrit's attacks, the two different taunts, etc. Looking forward to seeing videos on the later entries!
The others sure did improve upon this one but I still wouldn't call in antiquated. Hell 5 improves on most of the stuff from 3 and 4. Would call 3 antiquated any time soon.
But more importantly, two different taunts? I've S ranked the game on all difficulties, and I know there are two different animations when you press the taunt button and that one recovers more DT, but do you mean to tell me you can actually chose which one is going to play?!
@@antelasic1950 Fair enough; perhaps "antiquated" is a bit too negative. The game is definitely "dated" or "of its time," though.
And yes! You can get the taunts more consistently (I even just checked on the PS4 port to be sure). The 1-handed taunt will come out by just a light, quick press of R2. And I mean really light to get it consistently.
The two-handed taunt which gets more DT can be done by holding R2. It takes a bit of getting used to, but that way you can choose your taunt!
DMC1 is a decent (albeit aged) game at the end of the day, but I'm almost half tempted to recommend that new fans people start with DMC3 for 1st impressions. It also just fits nicely in play order since it's a prequel.
@@TylerRuins Damn I never knew that. I'll need to try that next time I play it. Thanks for the information.
@@leithaziz2716 I really don't think that works well with dmc. For starters dmc 1 is a lot simpler so it let's player get accustomed to things like locking on and Dante's basic moves that stick for the rest of the series (Stinger and such). On the other hand dmc 3 can be a bit much with all of it's new moves and abilities. Not to mention that in terms of story, dmc 3 does Vergil so well that going from that to just a last minute reveal with Nelo is kind of disappointing, whereas starting with that reveal only builds intrigue that then get's paid of with 3.
I hope he likes DMC 3 enough to replay it on higher difficulties.
The rewards and experiences were CRAZY and I hope he can experience that joy too.
Also lord, please help this man. Give him the patience he needs and finds joy in the next game.
I remember my first time playing DMC through the HD Collection so many years back. Screw that firebreathing spider lol
Other than that i love the atmosphere of the first game. I can totally see how this was once meant to be an RE4 concept bscause its a LOT more ambient compared to how crazy the series gets later
Phantom's fight goes crazy imo, one of the best first boss
The atmosphere of DMC1 is probably its strong suit and what makes it distinct from later entries. It's not my favorite, but if I heard someone refer to the setting being why they love the game, I could totally see where they're coming from. The Gothic architecture really clicks.
I loved the first game
It was when I attempted to Plat the first game was when I realized that there were alternate death sequences.
@@leithaziz2716 Fun Fact: Hideki Kamiya says that he loves Legend of Zelda and Castlevania. That explains Dante exploring a castle and Okami in general.
18:02 seeing that part made me laugh an unreasonable amount. Every puppet in the castle was after him.
Love when games do the "Boss has your exact moves" and Nelo Angelo is no exception. With the themes of Ultra Violet and Super Ultra Violet, Nelo Angelo quickly became my favorite boss in the game.
DMC is such a riot of a game. Comedy, action, and horror (if you can count it.). Such a great game.
This party's getting crazy. Let's rock!
Hoping you'll give higher difficulties a try in the later games at least, DMC handles difficulty better than almost any series with how it changes up enemy formations in every mission and also gives them new attacks, knowing that the player is almost certainly on NG+ and also has additional tools of their own, and it just makes repeat playthroughs feel wonderful with the fairly short length of these games
This came out at the perfect time for me. Just recently played through the whole series (minus 2) for the first time. Probably the best character action franchise in the industry
The second one isn't that bad. You're supposed to turn off your console and insert another game. Thats how it's designed
DMC2 is one of the games of all time. Just ask Vinny :)
minus 2? my man!
@@ehrenloudermilk1053 You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Aye, this and Onimusha 2 were my debut PS2 generation games... and I'm so glad for that.
DMC1 is my favourite game- actually no, it's my favourite thing in general. It's nice to see you finally trying it.
All I'll say about DMC2 is play as Lucia. Her campaign is much shorter & Dante is just more of the same.
Also at 20:16 there is no need to pause. You can press R3 to switch weapon during gameplay.
I platinumed DMC1-5 about a year ago. One of the best choices I made wish I played these games sooner.
I got into the DMC series last year, and now it's one of my favorites! While DMC1 is far from my favorite, I still think it's a solid game that layed the groundworks for the series. Can't wait for the DMC2 review, because damn is it one of the games of all time.
Johnny, the real way to play through a Devil May Cry game (except 2) is to go through the game with a new game+. Kamiya has already said before that the games he makes turn the first playthrough into a tutorial. The *real* fun comes after you're familiar with the level design and combat, with a mostly unlocked moveset. At that point, you can get REALLY creative with how you fight, which is the core gameplay appeal of DMC.
This is the perfect thing to watch as I wait for my copy of Tears of the Kingdom to arrive, which has suspiciously been two stops away for the past half an hour.
Johnny is filling my dark soul with light with this one 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Never touched this series, but if Johnny has anything to say about it that may change soon. This dude got me into a lot of stuff over the years. He convinced me to give Metroid Prime another shot, got me into A Link to the Past, and singlehandedly made me a Crash Bandicoot fan.
He got me into Final Fantasy and I have to really thank him for that. DMC however is my favorite franchise of all time and I have been waiting for a DMC review. If he does more, I'll be so excited for DMC 3, which is almost a perfect game to me
Go for it. The DMC games are a blast. Though it doesn’t hit its over the top stride till 3. Also the Dante story Viewtiful Joe’s PS2 port is hilarious.
@@mayborneflower That was pretty sweet. Best plot point is how Alastor is mad at Dante for never using him after DMC1.
Always look forward to these! Heard a lot about DmC over the years & I’m very excited for this deep dive.
Also, while I find it really cool that they took some inspiration from the Divine Comedy, I read the originals, and…let’s just say that there’s only minor similarities in plot elements, at best. The original is still great though; interesting symbolism, difficult to get into, but a good translation with notes (I read the Ciardi one) helps a lot with that.
Loving the vid so far!
7:32 Never gets old along with the LIGHHHTTT meme. Cheers for this vid. Loved DMC growing up.
@1:02 When you're fast-forwarding sponsorship just to hear John tell you to "Go to Hell" hahaha!
I recently played most of the dmc series for the first time this year (already had played dmc 5 last year so it doesn’t count). Im really excited to see what Johnny thinks of these games
Nice to see that your starting DMC. One of the best action games made by Capcom, and ended up as a great franchise (unlike DMC 2 and DmC 2012). Love to see more the sequels you’ll go through.
6:52
“No, Dante. Sometimes, A Devil may cry.”
“You’re right, Trish. I think a Devil may cry, too.”
say whatever you want, the "woke up to justice" line lives rent free in my brain
While it can be rough around the edges the original Devil May Cry is honestly really fun. People might think I'm crazy but the scene when Dante screamed "I should have filled your dark soul with light" despite being meme-worthy and silly I thought it was kind of moving. It showed that despite the cold demeanor he still cared for others. If you played DMC 3 you'll understand. BTW You need to play DMC 3 on the switch. It has a new feature that it's incredible and Smoking Sexy Stylish!
About DMC 2 the reason why there are 2 discs is because they are both separate campaigns. One on Dante and the other on Lucia. After playing and experiencing dmc 2 I honestly think you'll have a better time with Lucia. For one her levels are short sweet and to the point compared to Dante, she's faster and more fun to play as Dante, and in terms of story is better compared to Dante because without spoiling much she has a pretty decent character arc. DMC 2 while not awful is so underwhelmingly mid. Didn't hate it but I can see why it's not great. It at least helped me apreciate DMC 3 even more. I hope Capcom makes ports of DMC 4, 5 and DMC: Devil May cry on the switch. And be just a standard release. No any of that cloud gaming bull crap.
You know, Johnny playing Devil May Cry makes me really want him to do a collab review or cameo with Woolie in it.
Maybe if ever did a MVC review, he could call it Johnny Vs. Woolie Vs. Capcom
I would love if Woolie showed up. It would have to be for 3 or 5 though, for obvious Woolie reasons
@@rainingcomplete3018 that's a good idea too
17:30 Speaking of airborn advantage, holding the melee button while performing High Time (Lock-on + back + melee) will bring Dante into the air with the enemy. You can do this in all the other games as well. Generally, the name of the game in DMC is to keep yourself and the enemy in the air as much as you can to rack up damage while keeping yourself out of harm's way. Using Enemy Step (pressing the jump button while close to an enemy while in the air) will allow you to jump off of an enemy and extend your air time. Doing so will make you a lot more efficient.
I remember asking a DMC marathon 7 years ago. About time Johnny
DMC5 is great on its and own even better if you've been through the whole series progression. You're in for a real treat. The reboot really isn't terrible either.
Can't agree more; dude. Because I HAVE been through the entire series, from DMC1(the PS2 original; and even the HD re-release; in 2012), to the Animated Series,(which is a short; 12 episode series; that's just fine, and keeps the flow of the DMC games going, and is a pretty good series to watch, and i have; like 3 or 4 times),
and even through 2(even playing through and even not minding either campaign; playing them both; back to back; and even found myself enjoying them; at least; when you get the full story; of DMC2 which; wasn't definitely wasn't anything, you know; "oscar worthy"; but it was definitely; something worth playing through; as a hardcore DMC fan; and especially since DMC2 is 20 years old this year; even if it may very well be the "worst DMC game; its still part of the series legacy; and deserves some recognition; you know?).
And; I've even through both versions of DMC3: Dante's Awakening(which is an awesome name);
And both the PS2 version and the HD PS3 and PS4 versions; which didn't have Style Switching, but it sounds cool.
And I've also played DMC4 and 5. The only ones I've NEVER been through myself? The Special Edition of the 2012 Reboot;
Also: "DMC4: Special Edition"; which had some special playable characters;
"Devil May Cry 3 Dante's Awakening: Special Edition"(the Switch version), mainly because i didn't even know there WAS a DMC3SE on the Switch; in the first place!)
and: "Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition"; not because I'm not as into DMC as before or anything like that; oh; no, DEFINITELY NOT that!) But because I simply don't have a working TV or a PS5 to play them on; that's all. But I'm glad these Special Editions of the DMC games exist; because this franchise needed some extra love, and I'm glad it's getting it, especially from Johnny.
DmC is certain a game, but I feel like it doesn't pull ogf something yoi can't get from the other games outside of platforming. Also, of course, the story mode and its characters are miserable assholes.
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MARATHON FOR YEARS. 👏
can't wait to see this somecallmejohnny marathon featuring dante from devil may cry
In page 222 of the 3142 Graphic Arts artbook interviews, producer Motohide Eshiro and director Hideaki Itsuno detailed the difficulties in developing the HD Collection port of DMC1. Because some of the backup data for this game were missing, the team had to recreate parts of the game while watching the original version, especially since the people who made the original were no longer there to help. In contrast, the HD versions of DMC2 and DMC3 were easier to develop because their backup data and Itsuno (who worked on both games) were already available.
Cant wait to see johnny's full setup! Also hoping for a Spark the Electric Jester 2 & 3 review, but its possible johnny test forgot about the first game.
Johnny test....didn't see that one coming.
Thank Resident Evil for this franchise
3:55 Johnny at 14 had mustache that must have swept the ladies off their feet
Quick note on switching weapons - you can switch between Alastor/Ifrit by pressing R3. It's NOT instant the way it is in later games though.
It took me years to learn about that and I don't think it's in the manual, so it doesn't diminish the point, but I thought I'd point it out.
my favorite thing is not in later games letting you roundtrip and then break out the ifrit combos despite not having ifrit equipped (so sure you cant use ifrit specific moves but was fun crowd control to have 2 attacks at once)
Johnny is my favorite best friend I've never met. Years of watching makes me want to introduce myself to him lmao
Alright I'm going to be honest... I like Dante more in this game than any other DMC game. His shout out to Trish after saving her life is legit one of the best moments in the series. Also, Ultra Violet is a brilliant boss theme.
You are by far the best when it comes to reviewing games on the internet, your the only I subscribed too. I am looking forward to your reviews on Dino-Crisis, Tomb Raider, and Silent Hill franchises when that time comes.
11:41 Having read Divine Comedy multiple times, it’s very superficial in the first game, it’s just the names that are taken more than anything, although some in later games (specifically 3 and 4) take much more influence overtly. In this, it’s just the three names, Dante, Virgil, and Trish, which is fitting because Beatrice, Trish’s basis is Dante’s guide through Paradiso, so as badly read as the line is, the dark soul with light is sort of referencing that
1:20 To Skip Sponsor
Finally 🎉
1 was a start to great things, 2 erm yeah, 3 amazing, 4 epic, 5 master piece, DMC we dont talk about that one
The HD version of DMC 1 was really enjoyable for me. I can defiantly see myself going back to play it.
yeah despite many diehard purists complain about the skybox issues and the fact that it's based on the easier Japanese version but it's still a good experience regardless
It definitely has the better controls, the US PS2 ones are terrible.
Basically just a ripoff of Shadow the hedgehog TBH, looks pretty mid
what?, DMC existed way before the shadow hedgehog, also DMC is way better than shadow the hedgehog
Trollbait
There's always great to see new people get into Devil May Cry It's my favorite video games franchise so I always love hearing people new and old talk about it 🥰
That being said DMC 1 is dated with the fixed camera, attack off the screen and silly dialogue/voice acting. That being said I still recommend it only because it lays the foundation for what's to come in the series Hopefully one day we'll get a remake on the level of RE4 or RE2
you've always got a knack for doing marathons right when I first get curious about a game series. First with castlevania all the way back when, then megaman x, then with metal gear and now devil may cry. Can't wait for you to get to the fifth game! It's may favorite one so far!
DMC1 is a Mother's Day game.
Dante teaming up and saving trish because Trish reminded him of his mother because Mundus created Trish for the sole purpose of deceiving him. So, for Dante it felt like getting his mom back in a way.
I know the voice acting is cheesy and Dante telling trish the "I should've been the one to fill your dark soul with light!" was delivered hilariously bad. In context, is pretty emotional since it felt like he was losing his mom a 2nd time.
I love this game, despite its dated flaws. The soundtrack, atmosphere, and style it all had never lost my interest for a second.
14:18 It's actually Pubic Enemy, without 'l'. Yes, really. That's the name the track is listed under on the official OST and most other official sources.
This game has so many details that would be built upon in 3 onwards, Johnny just doesn't know it
"I don't chase trends, that's why subscriber growth is slow"
But it's also why your subscriber _base_ is incredibly darn loyal; you built yourself on nothing but your own personality and content quality, not any trends - and that fosters a very loyal viewership.
Heck, I've been here for... good grief, most of my adult life? I'm getting old...
Lol Johnny we see that chain around ya neck at 3:54 that’s awesome! 😂 great video btw!
I know this will be pedantic but, the game does say flat out that Nelo Angelo is Vergil, Dante's brother, but only in the game's archives/boss files, by which I mean in the pause menu you have a tab where you can see descriptions of each boss, with these files being updated every time you fight them again...
This game had a nasty habit of not telling you stuff though, like how you can pull off more moves with your swords depending of the timing of your button presses, some moves you only learning exist by playing on easy automatic
Can’t wait for him to cover Devil May Cry 3, 4 and 5!
A Devil May Cry retrospective?!?! THIS IS WHAT I LIVE FOR!!!!!
yo this is the first vid I've seen of you and I can tell this is my type of channel you've just gained a new friend and Subscribble!
Devil May Cry is one of those series I'm ashamed I didn't player sooner cause I didn't pick up the series until 2020 and I wish more games took inspiration from it's amazing combat and presentation. Final Fantasy 16's combat was directed by one of the people involved with DMC5's combat and that alone made me insanely excited for the game.
DMC1 has aged surprisingly well for an early PS2 game but I really hope it gets a remake like the Resident Evils to bring out its full potential.
3:51 The rest of the video is all fine and great, but I’ll just sit here and savor the brief moment of The Bouncer gameplay being shown off.
Nice to see this game getting crumbs of recognition every now and then!
Solid game with a solid soundtrack and surprisingly fun battle mode.
Much like Parasite Eve, it gets unfairly criticized for being short.
@@osurpless The Bouncer is my all-time favorite video game! Yeah, it gets unfairly criticized for being short. Even the story is talked down on because not many people properly understand it.
As for the gameplay criticisms, it’s just a collective skill issue. A severe one at that.
Johnny, you at 14 looked like you were already mid 30s
The DMC marathon is gonna be SSS I can feel it
i think the dodge roll is something you'll get use to as the series goes on because with the amount of move you have at your disposal when locked on as the series continues, you'll rarely ever wanna let go of lock on unless you wanna circle the stick to hit enemies around you with the basic combos
Don't worry about DMC2 being 2 disks, John. It's just how the game handles two playable characters (well, three playable characters, but third doesn't get any cutscenes. The second disk is for playable character #2's cutscenes iirc).
Who would've thought that Johnny started the Devil May Cry Marathon on Mother's Day?
Also, I hope when he talks about DMC 2, Johnny will bring up the fact that Dante's design in that game would be used in SMT: Nocturne. As for DMC 3, I hope he brings up that Kazuma Kaneko, the main illustrator of the SMT series, designed Dante and Vergil's devil trigger forms.
Great timing, I've been playing through this series for the first time lately, I beat this game and DMC2 (as both characters!) and I'm almost finished with 3
Can't wait for him to find out why there's 2 discs in the next video
Johnny doing a DMC Marathon, It's SHOWTIME! 😈
I remember trying to play this a few years ago and hating it, love the goofiness and the atmosphere just didn't appreciate the camera angles and weird controls! Glad to see I am not alone with this! Great video!
Why is this my first time seeing you in my sub inbox in months! I hate TH-cam. Good to see you!
I see Johnny will be filling our Dark Souls with LIIIIIIIGGGGGHHHHHTTTTT today.
